HDC Case: Assessment of patient with abdominal cramps
Source: Health and Disability Commissioner
19HDC01795
Health and Disability Commissioner Anthony Hill today released a report finding a General Practitioner (GP) in breach of the Code of Health and Disability Services Consumers’ Rights (the Code) for failing to appropriately examine and assess a man who presented with abdominal cramps.
The man, who was in his seventies, had several long-term health conditions. He attended an afterhours GP clinic with vomiting and abdominal cramps. The GP did not examine the man’s abdomen. The GP concluded the man had a mild gastric upset, and sent him home advising him to return if symptoms persisted. The man died two days later of complications from a bowel obstruction.
Anthony Hill considered that expected clinical practice was for the GP to conduct an abdominal examination. The GP also failed to record a provisional diagnosis for his findings.
"An abdominal examination was clinically indicated in this situation," said Mr Hill. "[The GP] missed an opportunity to provide further intervention to [the man] and [the man’s] continuity of care may have been compromised."
Mr Hill recommended that the GP apologise to the man’s wife, arrange an independent audit of his clinical notes to check that appropriate records have been made, and undertake further training. He also recommended that the medical centre report back to HDC on the implementation and effectiveness of the changes it has made as a result of this investigation.
The full report for case 19HDC01795 is available on the HDC website.

Investing in the future of food
The last time I went to the grocery store, I couldn’t help but notice a whole host of new food brands on the shelves. If you don’t believe me, I encourage you to walk the aisles of your favorite supermarket and count how many new brands you can identify.
Did you know that General Mills is now working to help some of these emerging food brands succeed in the marketplace?
Under 301 INC, the company’s new business development and venturing unit, General Mills is providing entrepreneurs access to capital and our deep knowledge and expertise to develop, grow and expand their businesses.
The 301 INC team.
I recently spoke with John Haugen, vice president and general manager for 301 INC, who leads this venture, to learn more about why and how the company is working with emerging brands.
John Haugen, 301 INC
What can you tell me about 301 INC?
John: 301 INC started a few years ago as a new business development team at General Mills. We were basically operating as a team of entrepreneurs within the walls of the company, charged with developing and launching new brands and businesses to enable next generation growth for General Mills.
In the first few years we focused on building businesses from the ground up. During this time we developed a product called nibblr, which was a subscription service that delivered customized snacks to somebody’s home or office. We put Progresso soup in K-cups so that customers could quickly make delicious soup with their home brewers. And we developed Pillsbury Pancake Batter, which put pancakes in the refrigerated section of the grocery.
Today we’re still focused on new business development, but our approach has changed. We’re now operating as a venturing arm with the resources and expertise that emerging food brands need to grow and thrive. We believe we can help accelerate the growth of these businesses by nurturing the skills and agility of the founders and providing them not only access to capital, but also the breadth of capabilities we have built as a food company over the last 150 years.
Why does 301 INC want to help food start-ups?
John: The rapidly evolving consumer landscape is dramatically changing the game in the food industry. We’ve realized that tremendous opportunity exists outside of General Mills to partner with and foster these emerging food brands. By combining the vision and passion of these entrepreneurs with General Mills’ extensive capabilities, we believe we can meet consumer needs faster than ever.
Why the shift in strategy?
John: Under our previous model, we were primarily building our own businesses. We learned it takes a lot of time to effectively incubate a new business. And frankly, companies like General Mills may not have the patience to stick with a business for five to seven years before it achieves the level of scale to become a sustaining business within their own walls.
We also realized that if there are any new business opportunities out there, some entrepreneur is likely already in that space. So we’ve shifted our focus to look for external partners where we can invest and incubate new businesses.
What did you learn under the old model that will help 301 INC succeed going forward.
John: We really learned what it’s like to “walk in the shoes” of these small, emerging businesses. We understand what it really takes to build a successful new brand and business from the ground up. This learning has been invaluable to help us more clearly define the role we can play moving forward. Our new approach allows all parties to play to their strengths – the entrepreneur’s vision and agility combined with the resources and capabilities of General Mills.
Are there any companies 301 INC has already invested in?
John: About two years ago we invested in Beyond Meat, a start-up company on a mission to develop plant-based protein that has the taste and texture of real meat. They sell core protein items – chicken strips, beef crumbles, things like that. It tastes a lot of better than the competing products that are out there.
If you look at the overall trends – half the population is trying to avoid meat and yet there’s a continued demand for protein. And they’re avoiding meat for many reasons – whether environmental, health, or cost. Yet demand for protein is as high or higher than it’s ever been. So we think there is a lot of opportunity here.
What sets 301 INC apart from other companies that are investing in early stage brands?
John: If you look at the portfolio of General Mills, we operate in more than 25 categories across the grocery store – cereal, yogurt, snacks, meals, frozen dough, frozen pizza, baked goods, soup. We believe our deep technical knowledge and capabilities in these areas, combined with our robust supply chain; marketing and sales excellence is what sets us apart.
What do you see as the emerging trends in the food industry?
John: There are a few key trends that we’re seeing in the food space right now. Wellness continues to emerge and we’re seeing more offerings that are fresh, minimally processed. Also, what I would call proactive nutrition, like probiotics, protein, new grains. Plant based nutrition, too, including alternative protein sources, non-dairy etc. We’re really interested in all of these areas.
To learn more about 301 INC, you can read John’s interview with Fortune.

A COVID-19 pandemic update from our CEO
Over the past several weeks, CCHL has worked actively to adapt to our new reality and to respond accordingly. First, I’d like to thank, on behalf of our Board of Directors, our members and our staff, all the dedicated College members, health workers, industry partners and leaders who are working diligently to manage the COVID-19 pandemic.
In response to the crisis, we rolled out a three-part program to provide our members with real-time, practical and succinct information and support. We continue to offer information in real-time through a special webinar series, a program to manage and facilitate chapter continuity, and a social media strategy to share and disseminate timely and curated information for easy consumption by busy health leaders.
To support our members, we’ve started to provide two one-hour group coaching sessions per week as a complimentary offer for CCHL members from LEADS Canada Executive Coaches. We’ve also worked with the Canadian Psychological Association and registered psychology practitioners who are donating some of their time to provide psychological services to front line health care providers and CCHL members who may be feeling stressed, overwhelmed or distressed during this health crisis.
New relevant content and resources are consistently being made available on our website, including “Leadership in a Crisis” research and materials, as well as Healthcare Management Forum articles, blogs and podcasts.
We have announced decisions on the status of our June events, initially planned in Edmonton, Alberta from June 12 to June 17, 2020. We have been actively monitoring the situation and following guidance from the Public Health Agency of Canada and the Chief Medical Officer of Health from Alberta, and we have adjusted our events and programming accordingly. (Click here to read the full CCHL announcement). We will be providing further updates shortly.
We remain focused on four emerging priorities:
Staff wellness and team culture;
Member value and leadership support in a pandemic context;
Financial sustainability; and
Readiness for post-pandemic recovery with new value propositions and models.
The staff of CCHL's national office continues to work from home and are all connected and available to support our members. We will continue to do our best to respond to member enquiries and deliver our services without interruptions, and we thank you for your patience during this time.
For the latest news, relevant content and resources, such as links to recent webinar recordings and summaries, please visit the College’s COVID-19 resource and content portal.
Thank you for your leadership in this unprecedented situation. Please let us know if there is anything else that we can do to support you and we look forward to connecting virtually and in person in the future.
Until then, take care,
Alain Doucet, MBA

Andrew Haigh weighs anchor for the BBC and See-Saw Films series The North Water
by David Katz
09/04/2019 - Colin Farrell and Jack O’Connell lead this gritty seafaring adventure, which is Haigh’s second major TV project after HBO’s Looking
Director Andrew Haigh
Acclaimed British writer-director Andrew Haigh (Lean on Pete [+see also:
film profile], 45 Years [+see also:
Q&A: Andrew Haigh
film profile], Weekend [+see also:
film profile]) will adapt and direct the four-part limited series The North Water, based on the Man Booker-longlisted novel by Ian McGuire, and produced by the UK’s See-Saw Films for BBC Two.
(The article continues below - Commercial information)
The series is scheduled for an autumn shoot, with the principal cast currently being locked down. This week, Jack O’Connell (Starred Up [+see also:
interview: David Mackenzie
film profile], Unbroken) joined the previously announced Colin Farrell (seen recently in The Lobster [+see also:
Q&A: Yorgos Lanthimos
film profile] and last year’s Widows [+see also:
interview: Steve McQueen
film profile]) in the lead roles.
Taking place in the late 1850s, The North Water follows the story of Patrick Sumner (O’Connell), a disgraced ex-army surgeon who signs up as ship’s doctor on a whaling expedition setting off from Hull to the perilous climes of the Arctic. In his sailing party, he encounters harpooner Henry Drax (Farrell), an amoral and merciless killer. Fending off Drax’s influence, Sumner tries to cling onto his sanity, and seek redemption and survival in the Arctic wasteland.
Moving from the horse-racing world of Lean on Pete to another animal-related tale, Haigh seems to be attempting a British spin on Herman Melville’s Moby Dick. Originally announced as five 60-minute episodes, the team is now producing three individual hours and one 90-minute finale.
Haigh himself says: “The novel by Ian McGuire is a darkly brilliant piece of work, propelled by a vision of the world that is both beautiful and brutal. It feels bracingly modern and is piercingly perceptive about the nature of what drives us all. I feel incredibly lucky to be given the chance to bring this story to the screen and very privileged to be doing so with the BBC.”
See-Saw Films (which has made similar auteur-driven TV, such as Top of the Lake and State of the Nation) is producing the project for broadcast on BBC Two. Kate Ogborn is producing alongside executive producers Jamie Laurenson and Hakan Kousetta, with Iain Canning and Emile Sherman for See-Saw, Niv Fichman for Canada’s Rhombus Media and Lucy Richer for the BBC.

No Truth Left to Tell
It is 1994 in Lynwood, Louisiana, and flaming crosses light up the night and terrorize the southern town. The resurgent Klan wants a new race war, and the Klansmen will start it here. For Nettie Wynn, a victim of the cross burnings and lifelong resident of the town’s segregated neighborhood, the hate crimes summon frightful memories of her youth, when she witnessed white townspeople lynch a black man.
When federal civil rights prosecutor Adrien Rush arrives from DC to investigate the crimes with Lee Mercer, a seasoned local FBI special agent, their partnership is tested as they clash over how far to go to catch the racists before the violence escalates. Rush’s role in the case becomes even more complicated after he falls for Nicole DuBose, a successful New York City journalist who returns to Lynwood to care for her grandmother, Nettie.
When crucial evidence becomes compromised—threatening to upend what should be a celebrated conviction—the lines between right and wrong, black and white, collide with deadly consequences.
A smart legal thriller inspired by real events, including McAuliffe's time in Louisiana investigating violent extremists and corrupt cops, No Truth Left to Tell offers the ultimate insider's take on chasing violent racists in the Deep South.
Michael McAuliffe has been a practicing lawyer for thirty years. He was a federal prosecutor serving both as a supervisory assistant US attorney in the Southern District of Florida and a trial attorney in the Criminal Section of the Civil Rights Division at the Department of Justice in Washington, DC.
In 2008, Michael was elected and served as the state attorney for Palm Beach County, leading an office of approximately 125 prosecutors. He was known for leading the ethics reform movement in county that resulted in the creation of a permanent inspector general, an ethics commission, and new ethics code.
He also has been a partner at a major law firm, a global company general counsel, a senior lecturing fellow at Duke University's School of Law, and an adjunct professor at William & Mary's School of Law. Early in his career, Mr. McAuliffe was a Civic Education Project fellow and visiting professor of law in the Czech Republic.
Aside from the law, Mr. McAuliffe is an alpine mountaineer, having climbed and reached the summits of Aconcagua, Denali, Kilimanjaro (with his daughter), Island Peak in the Himalayas, and many other mountains.
He received his JD from the College of William & Mary's Law School and his BBA from the Business Honors Program at the University of Texas at Austin. Michael and his wife Robin Rosenberg, a US district judge, have three children, and live in Florida and Massachusetts.

After the Rain is a good read with nice characters.
Suzanne Paris is running away. Someone terrible is trying to find her. Suzanne is heading to Atlanta, when the bus stops at Walton, Georgia. Suzanne feels a strong pull towards this small town. Well it also does not hurt that the necklace that Suzanne’s mother gave her has the name R. Michael Jewelers, Walton inscribed on the back. Suzanne does not make the best first impression, especially on the mayor, Joe. After the Rain is the follow up to Falling Home. You do not have to read that book prior to reading this one. In fact, it has been a while since I read Falling Home that I did not realize in the beginning that this book was the follow up to Falling Home. One thing that I enjoy about Karen White’s books are her characters. Good or bad the characters do draw me into their world. When I say bad what I really mean is that the character may be a bad person but I still feel something towards them. Luckily for this book, there was not really any “bad” persons, other then the pers

Age of Consent Laws
Stephen Robertson, University of Sydney, Australia
Age of Consent Laws [Table]
Information on the ages used historically in western age of consent laws is not readily available. This table has been compiled from a combination of historical and contemporary sources. By 1880, the first date chosen, many western nations had established an age of consent for the first time, typically of 12 or 13 years. By 1920, when the influence of reform campaigns that established a new link between the age of consent and prostitution had run its course, most had revised their age upward, to 14 or 15 in European nations, and 16 in the Anglo-American world. In the last decades of the 20th century, states and nations with ages below those averages amended their laws to move closer to them. In Europe that growing conformity owed much to moves toward greater European integration. Given that the rationale for the age of consent has remained essentially unchanged in its emphasis on the need to protect 'immature' children, the table highlights the shifting and various definitions of childhood employed across time and cultures.

What is Eating Design?
Interview with Linda Lezius from the Wild & Root collective, Berlin
Restaurant management • Oct 18, 2020 • Giovanni Giorgi
We had a talk with Linda Lezius from Wild & Root food collective in Berlin. During our conversation, Linda helped us discover new ways to implement restaurant businesses and reminded us about the importance of focusing on values as a starting point to create dining experiences.
Share on FB Share on FB Share on FB
What does Wild & Root do?
Wild & Root is an agency for food communication. In the last five years, we have worked around campaigns, strategies, and events. We are a collective of people from different backgrounds including designers, photographers, videographers, illustrators, journalists, chefs, project managers, and architects. Our ambition is turning values into experiences, especially for heart-driven and sustainable companies.
Which are the most exciting aspects of your job & mission of your food collective?
I would say diving into the world of a food business to understand which story they are telling us. A lot of businesses already offer great products, but they don’t know how to communicate their value— or sometimes they don’t even know the value. Restaurants don’t just sell products or services and some of them don’t want to just make a profit. They often aim for a greater impact and we see many examples in Berlin. This is when we come into play to help them embody their principles and we’ve worked with restaurants and food companies in Portugal, Switzerland, and Germany. It is important for a restaurant to communicate their value, which is what makes people come back usually, more than a great pumpkin…or well, we need both of course.

What would be your main advice for restaurants to improve their communication?
Every restaurant owner starts with a story of why they end up working in gastronomy. I’ve seen a lot of people following the same kind of narratives of what’s already out there. I’m not saying that they copy, but many restaurants are similar to each other, and rather than expressing themselves, they do what they should do or think they should do. So, my advice would be to underline your own story. And to not be afraid of doing it differently than others. Also, I’d say not to limit this story-telling to the process of making a dish, but to expand it to the whole restaurant environment, from service to interiors, or to how people speak to you, for example. Or even the way you eat food— we always eat with knife and fork…who says we always have to eat with knife and fork? And it is not needed to be a high-end restaurant for creative story-telling. Every simple restaurant can implement a strong and unique concept.
Strategies and ideas on marketing a restaurant
“Our ambition is turning values into experiences”
What’s your favorite restaurant in Berlin?
I usually choose where to eat depending on what I feel that day, I’d say. There is such a great variety of restaurants here and a lot of new creative concepts. And in general, I love exploring new places. But I like FREA: they have a great approach to zero waste & plant-based cooking, in the way they focus on great products rather than promoting the philosophy behind their dishes. They don’t shout out to be plant-based because they consider this should be the new normal. And on the other hand, they show that it is possible to work on zero waste or use organic products and still being profitable.
Where do you source products in Berlin?
From local farmers. Of course, this includes the whole Brandenburg area. There are so many amazing farmers in and around the city, however, they can’t always deliver on a regular basis. This is also why a lot of great products stay in Brandenburg and not enter Berlin: farmers just can’t afford to take care of the logistics and deliver every second day of the week. This is something that I think could be improved by working around relations between restaurants and farmers— otherwise, we’re going to have all the high-end restaurants ordering from the same farmer, for example.
We recently talked about food art with Tainá from the Food Art Week. How is food art different from food design?
It’s a tricky question because, in the end, it’s hard to separate. In terms of food art, I’d say it’s linked more to the imagination and raising questions or triggering emotions (when it’s interesting art). Food design is more about look, function, or trying to answer questions or solve problems. But they go along with each other, even in our work at Wild & Root. That’s why we define it as eating design, which doesn’t mean only focusing on products and modifying them. We’re not just about “what do I do with an apple: cut it in slices or cubes?” but we take into account the quality of products and type of production, the logistics, and the entire experience of consuming it.

Polar Bears in the News
July 28, 2011 January 5, 2016 by Polar Bears with Pens Leave a comment
There have been a lot of polar bear stories in the news lately and here is a quick round up.
Godfather of polar bear science – Edmonton scientist Ian Stirling’s new book on polar bears wasn’t even in bookstores this summer when a venerable American wildlife magazine posted a gushing review.
The latest, Polar Bears, The Natural History of a Threatened Species, is a handsome book of articles and photographs that is a memoir, a reference book, a science book, a coffee-table book and a lament for a species that could disappear from most of its range sometime within the next half-century.
Stirling spends a lot of time and effort in Churchill and does work with Polar Bears International. PBI is offering signed copies for sale on their website.
Here’s another interesting story that is sure to have many expressing concern:
A mother polar bear swam for nine days straight to reach sea ice, covering nearly 700 kilometres and losing her cub in the process, according to a new study on the movement of female polar bears.
The study, which links shrinking sea ice as a possible threat to polar bear cubs, also noted the bear lost 22 per cent of her body weight after swimming in the Beaufort Sea.
Luckily the polar bears in Hudson Bay don’t have quite that far to go to get off the sea ice – could be the reason we see so many healthy bears around the Seal River Heritage Lodge.
The Beaufort Sea is north of Alaska & the Yukon. There seems to be a story like this every year in the news.
And while there are reports of bears swimming incredible lengths and drowning, today comes a story of a scientist who did some of those studies being investigated:
A U.S. wildlife biologist whose observation in 2004 of presumably drowned polar bears in the Arctic helped to galvanize the global warming movement has been placed on administrative leave and is being investigated for scientific misconduct, possibly over the veracity of that article.
Here is a tidbit on polar bear (and grizzly and black bear) safety information:
A study published in 2008 in The Journal of Wildlife Management looked at the efficacy of bear spray as a deterrent involving grizzly, black and polar bear encounters in Alaska from 1985 to 2006.
In 72 cases where people sprayed bears to defend themselves, 98 per cent walked away uninjured.
That’s good to know if you’re ever out there alone in the woods. When we walk with polar bears at the lodges we travel in groups. Our polar bear guides – Andy & Terry – are 100% pros when it comes to keeping our guests safe.
There are other interesting bear facts and stats in that article. Make sure you give it a read if you ever plan to go hiking through the Canadian Wilderness alone (not recommended without Andy or Terry present). You DO NOT want to cause a stir like this guy:
Conservation officers in northeastern Manitoba were forced to fatally shoot a polar bear after it ran after a tourist and charged at a truck.
Laura Gray-Ellis said she was at the health centre in Churchill on Monday morning when she saw a tourist at the beach snapping photos just three metres from the bear.
That’s what happens when people do not follow the posted rules and disrespect polar bears. Just plain stupid.
There’s also a super-great, super-fantastic, super-yummy story about an Arctic cuisine/Canadian wine pairing that is happening at Seal River Heritage Lodge this weekend.
Churchill Wild, which owns and operates Canada’s premier polar bear lodges for viewing polar bears in their natural environment, has partnered with Banville & Jones Wine Co. in Winnipeg to celebrate Food Day Canada 2011 on July 30 with a wine-pairing event at their remote Seal River Heritage Lodge in Northern Manitoba, Canada.
And from the always strange (and how things have changed) files – here’s an old newspaper clipping from 1951 entitled “Crippled Polar, Four Monkeys, Bear Still Free” A circus trailer overturned and released a bunch of animals in Arkansas. Among them was a polar bear.
Notice the $200 reward if anyone can capture the polar bear alive!

Griffith Games Design alumnus a real-life Hearo
Oct 2020 Griffith News
Griffith Games Design alumnus Elliot Miller designed an app to help cochlear implants and hearing aid recipients identify new sounds
Griffith graduate Elliot Miller combined his games design degree with his experience living with profound deafness to create an app set to improve the lives of those with hearing aids. While studying a Bachelor of Games Design at Griffith, Elliot became interested in interactive design and developed his own ‘serious game’ in the form of an app named Hearoes, which assists cochlear implant and hearing aid recipients learn new sounds in an engaging, self-paced environment. So-called ‘serious games’ are considered games beyond entertainment and in Elliot’s case, one that can create learning experience outcomes.
“Receiving a bionic ear, also known as a cochlear implant, although an incredible milestone, is like trying to drive a sports car when you don’t have a licence or have never driven a car before. I ended up using the learnings from the Griffith University course to create some gamified auditory training exercises to help myself with earning to identify new sounds, which I personally found challenging.”
Elliot Miller is the creator and founder of Hearoes
“From there, I ended up showing it to my clinician, and releasing it on the app store to help others with their new hearing journey.”
Elliot was born with sensorineural hearing loss – with mild to severe hearing loss in his right ear, and profound hearing loss in the left side- and was fitted with hearing aids as a child, before receiving a cochlear implant at 25. “It has been a very life changing experience, especially being able to hear the higher pitches in sounds that I’ve never heard before. I’ll always remember the time I was jogging down the street shortly after receiving my bionic ear, and I noticed a sound that I couldn’t identify. I stopped to try and identify this new sound, but the sound stopped as well, and it wasn’t until I got home later that day, I realised it was the coins in my pocket. Almost everything around us makes a sound, from the wind howling, to the car indicators, to even leaving the fridge door open for long periods of time and they’re not really things that you think about, especially if there aren’t any visual references or other feedback associated with it. It became a big learning curve for me, because although I could hear new sounds, it was very challenging being able to identify them,” Elliot said..
Users play games to assist in identifying sounds they may not have been able to hear previously
Hearoes is Australia’s first auditory training tool of its kind, and has had more than 25,000 sessions, with the activities played more than 80,000 times in the last 12 months alone. It is described as a user centric auditory training app and contains more than 50 gamified activities focusing on key and proven modules in auditory training such as environmental sounds, vowels, consonants, sentences and narratives in different accents including Australian and American male and female voices. “We’ve had some amazing feedback and stories, not only from the recipients, but also others involved in the training process, including clinicians, teachers and even parents,” Elliot said. “It’s very motivating being able to help others who are experiencing similar challenges, especially as I’ve faced similar daily challenges myself.”
Hearoes was recently recognised with an Early Innovation Award at the recent Bionics Queensland Challenge and has collaborated with different organisations such as eHealth Queensland, Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital, as well as Deaf Services. Hearoes is available on iOS and Android.

Tiffany Art 2016 – Amar Sagar and Jain Art
August 11, 2016 – The twelfth edition in the popular and award-winning Tiffany Art series, which Coin Invest Trust designs for Palau, takes you on a trip to Indian Rajasthan. Thanks to the innovative smartminting© technology used in its production, the coin features an impressive wealth of detail and a heretofore unseen relief height. The coin combines these features with the series’ typical Tiffany glass inlays.
Palau / 50 Dollars / Silver .999 / Ca. 1kg / 100mm / Mintage: 99.
The obverse of the Tiffany Art – 1 kg Amar Sagar coin shows a dome with a blue Tiffany glass window. It also features the nominal value and the coat of arms of the issuing nation. The Tiffany Art 2 oz – Jain Art coin features the same motif on its reverse, together with the name of the series, TIFFANY ART, the year of issue, and the inscription JAIN ART.
The 1kg reverse shows a detail from the Adeshwar Nath temple in Jaisalmer, the name of the series, TIFFANY ART, the year of issue, and the inscription AMAR SAGAR. The Tiffany Art 2 oz – Jain Art coin features this motif on its obverse as well as the nominal value and the coat of arms of the issuing nation.
Available in two editions, the coin depicts exceptional exemplars of Jain architecture whose centres can be found in northern and western India. The most important characteristic of this architectural style is the contrast between a relatively plain outside and a lavishly decorated inside. White and yellow marble constitute the preferred building materials.

One side of the coin depicts an honorary tomb in the form of a small dome-shaped pavilion (Chhatri). It is located near Gadi Sagar, an artificial lake that was created by Maharawal Gadsi Singh in 1367. The many surrounding temples and shrines testify to the great importance of Gadi Sagar, which functioned as a water reservoir for the nearby Jaisalmer until 1965. Connected to important trade routes, the city, which flourished between the 16th and 18th century, was a major transfer site for sugar, rice, opium, cotton etc.
Parshvanata, founder of Jainism.
The Adeshwar Nath temple, whose atrium is featured as a detail on the coin’s other side, is also located in Jaisalmer. The temple is dedicated to Parshvanatha, the founder of Jainism. With roughly 4.2 million followers, this ascetic religion, whose roots go back to the 6th century AD, is today recognised as the country’s 6th largest religion.
The coins were minted by B. H. Mayer’s Kunstprägeanstalt GmbH. Collectors can purchase the issues through specialty dealers.
Please find more information on these coins here and here.
This is the website of Coin Invest Trust.
A wealth of information on Jainism is available in the relevant Encyclopedia Britannica article.

Things I Wanted To Say But Never Did | Digby Duncan
Digby Duncan | Artist
Exhibiting artist at 'Things I Wanted To Say But Never Did' | Group Exhibition.
Opens to the public 4th September 2019, 6pm - 8pm.
My love of photography goes back to my childhood box brownie camera. As a young adult I moved to Sydney working as a public accountant, a documentary filmmaker and film producer for many years before returning to photography.
I produced the documentary "Witches & Faggots, Dykes & Poofters" about the 1978 Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras and surrounding events that has been widely shown in Australia and overseas. I wasn't to know then that this film would play such an important part in documenting queer history and that I would still be distributing it and showing the photographs I took of these events forty years later. The film has been recently restored by the National Film and Sound Archive.
I love the ocean and have been inspired to capture the textures and calligraphy-like patterns formed by seaweed and other creatures. These images were taken with a macro lens using film and formed my early solo exhibitions.
During an artist-in-residence program in Beijing, I photographed the chaotic night -life of Feijiacun, a small village slated for demolition. Using a hand held digital SLR camera I was able to move quickly and get the blurring effect I wanted reminding me of the work of Gerard Richter. These photographs were shown in my “After Dark” exhibition at Dank Street Waterloo.
This work led to a further interest in night-time photography. I had always been intrigued by how people lived in their homes and often walked the streets at night observing life through lit windows. By getting permission from friends I was able to set up my camera and observe their movements within their home from the outside, creating the highly cinematic interior images of my "Outside-In" series.
Artist residencies have inspired several series of works and exhibitions and Beijing (China), Oaxaca (Mexico) and Tetouan (Morocco). These photographs are more documentary in style.
I am very aware of the importance of documenting women's history. I have been involved in a portrait project photographing women who were active in the early days of Women's Liberation in Sydney. It wasn't till this year I ventured into self-portraiture.
I enjoy being part of group exhibitions, making new work that responds to a provocation or theme. I have masses of archives yet to be revisited and not enough time to do so.
What can the audience expect of your response to the theme?
Buried feelings, desires not expressed.
Describe yourself in 3 words
Ocean lover, 78er, feminist.
If you could say 1 thing to an ex lover, what would you say?
ARTIST BIO: Digby's first solo photographic exhibitions were “Sea Script” and “Lingua Marina”, Gallery East (2003/2004)
She is a member of the ARTHERE group with whom she has exhibited in various galleries in Sydney. In 2011 Digby showed her night scenes from her artist residency in Beijing at Danks St. She also participated in artist residencies in Oaxaco, Mexico (2013) and in Tetouan, Morocco (2015).
Digby’s documentary film "Witches & Faggots, Dykes & Poofters" and photographs of the 1978 Gay & Lesbian Mardi Gras and surrounding events have been widely shown in Australia and overseas. They were included in “40 Years of Queer Art: Rebellion and Subversion”, exhibition Comber St Studios (2018).
She has participated in various group shows including "A Secret" at Contact Sheet (2017) and "The Selfie" show at Ten Forty Seven gallery (2019).

A Day in the Life of an Electrical Contractor in Birmingham
One of the things the Contract Labour Solutions team enjoys about our work is the endless variation in what we do. As an electrical contractor in Birmingham, you have to think on your feet every day. And you need to be able to keep the plates spinning, even when it looks like they’re about to come crashing to the ground.
As a local electrical contractor, we’re the ones that get the call if a local business experiences a power outage. We’ll have to manage the day’s work despite the fact that there’s a big emergency repair job come in. Then we’ll be working over the weekend so we can complete an electrical fit out before work starts again on Monday.
The thing is, we wouldn’t change it for the world. Because it’s what we do; it’s how we build the trust of our customers, and every job teaches us something new about the work we’ve chosen. (more…)

- 1 Chronicles
S3Y
1Now the sons of Reuben the firstborn of Israel, (for he was the firstborn; but, forasmuch as he defiled his father’s bed, his birthright was given unto the sons of Joseph the son of Israel: and the genealogy is not to be reckoned after the birthright.
2For Judah prevailed above his brethren, and of him came the chief ruler; but the birthright was Joseph’s:)
3the sons, I say, of Reuben the firstborn of Israel were, Hanoch, and Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
4The sons of Joel; Shemaiah his son, Gog his son, Shimei his son,
5Micah his son, Reaia his son, Baal his son,
6Beerah his son, whom Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria carried away captive: he was prince of the Reubenites.
7And his brethren by their families, when the genealogy of their generations was reckoned, were the chief, Jeiel, and Zechariah,
8and Bela the son of Azaz, the son of Shema, the son of Joel, who dwelt in Aroer, even unto Nebo and Baal-meon:
9and eastward he inhabited unto the entering in of the wilderness from the river Euphrates: because their cattle were multiplied in the land of Gilead.
10And in the days of Saul they made war with the Hagarites, who fell by their hand: and they dwelt in their tents throughout all the east land of Gilead.
11And the children of Gad dwelt over against them, in the land of Bashan unto Salchah:
12Joel the chief, and Shapham the next, and Jaanai, and Shaphat in Bashan.
13And their brethren of the house of their fathers were, Michael, and Meshullam, and Sheba, and Jorai, and Jachan, and Zia, and Heber, seven.
14These are the children of Abihail the son of Huri, the son of Jaroah, the son of Gilead, the son of Michael, the son of Jeshishai, the son of Jahdo, the son of Buz;
15Ahi the son of Abdiel, the son of Guni, chief of the house of their fathers.
16And they dwelt in Gilead in Bashan, and in her towns, and in all the suburbs of Sharon, upon their borders.
17All these were reckoned by genealogies in the days of Jotham king of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam king of Israel.
18The sons of Reuben, and the Gadites, and half the tribe of Manasseh, of valiant men, men able to bear buckler and sword, and to shoot with bow, and skilful in war, were four and forty thousand seven hundred and threescore, that went out to the war.
19And they made war with the Hagarites, with Jetur, and Nephish, and Nodab.
20And they were helped against them, and the Hagarites were delivered into their hand, and all that were with them: for they cried to God in the battle, and he was intreated of them; because they put their trust in him.
21And they took away their cattle; of their camels fifty thousand, and of sheep two hundred and fifty thousand, and of asses two thousand, and of men an hundred thousand.
22For there fell down many slain, because the war was of God. And they dwelt in their steads until the captivity.
23And the children of the half tribe of Manasseh dwelt in the land: they increased from Bashan unto Baal-hermon and Senir, and unto mount Hermon.
24And these were the heads of the house of their fathers, even Epher, and Ishi, and Eliel, and Azriel, and Jeremiah, and Hodaviah, and Jahdiel, mighty men of valour, famous men, and heads of the house of their fathers.
25And they transgressed against the God of their fathers, and went a whoring after the gods of the people of the land, whom God destroyed before them.
26And the God of Israel stirred up the spirit of Pul king of Assyria, and the spirit of Tilgath-pilneser king of Assyria, and he carried them away, even the Reubenites, and the Gadites, and the half tribe of Manasseh, and brought them unto Halah, and Habor, and Hara, and to the river Gozan, unto this day.

Children under 18 years living below the poverty level by race and ethnicity in Arizona
Select Table Type:
Poverty Status in the Past 12 Months
Poverty statistics in ACS products adhere to the standards specified by the Office of Management and Budget in Statistical Policy Directive 14. The Census Bureau uses a set of dollar value thresholds that vary by family size and composition to determine who is in poverty. Further, poverty thresholds for people living alone or with nonrelatives (unrelated individuals) vary by age (under 65 years or 65 years and older). The poverty thresholds for two-person families also vary by the age of the householder. If a family’s total income is less than the dollar value of the appropriate threshold, then that family and every individual in it are considered to be in poverty. Similarly, if an unrelated individual’s total income is less than the appropriate threshold, then that individual is considered to be in poverty.
White only, not Hispanic or Latino. Are individuals who responded "No, not Spanish/Hispanic/Latino" and who reported "White" as their only entry in the race question. White is a person having origins in any of the original peoples of Europe, the Middle East, or North Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as “White” or report entries such as Irish, German, Italian, Lebanese, Arab, Moroccan, or Caucasian.
Black or African American. A person having origins in any of the Black racial groups of Africa. It includes people who indicate their race as “Black, African Am., or Negro” or report entries such as African American, Kenyan, Nigerian, or Haitian.
American Indian or Alaska Native. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of North and South America (including Central America) and who maintains tribal affiliation or community attachment. This category includes people who indicate their race as “American Indian or Alaska Native” or report entries such as Navajo, Blackfeet, Inupiat, Yup’ik, or Central American Indian groups, or South American Indian groups.
Asian. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of the Far East, Southeast Asia, or the Indian subcontinent including, for example, Cambodia, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Pakistan, the Philippine Islands, Thailand, and Vietnam. It includes people who indicate their race as “Asian Indian,” “Chinese,” “Filipino,” “Korean,” “Japanese,” “Vietnamese,” and “Other Asian” or provide other detailed Asian responses.
Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander. A person having origins in any of the original peoples of Hawaii, Guam, Samoa, or other Pacific Islands. It includes people who indicate their race as “Native Hawaiian,” “Guamanian or Chamorro,” “Samoan,” and “Other Pacific Islander” or provide other detailed Pacific Islander responses.
Some Other Race. Includes all other responses not included in the “White,” “Black or African American,” “American Indian or Alaska Native,” “Asian,” and “Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander” race categories described above. Respondents reporting entries such as multiracial, mixed, interracial, or a Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish group (for example, Mexican, Puerto Rican, Cuban, or Spanish) in response to the race question are included in this category.
Two or More Races. People may chose to provide two or more races either by checking two or more race response check boxes, by providing multiple responses, or by some combination of check boxes and other responses. The race response categories shown on the questionnaire are collapsed into the five minimum race groups identified by OMB, and the Census Bureau’s “Some Other Race” category. For data product purposes, “Two or More Races” refers to combinations of two or more of the following race categories:
1. White alone, not Hispanic or Latino
2. Black or African American
3. American Indian or Alaska Native
4. Asian
5. Native Hawaiian or Other Pacific Islander
6. Some Other Race
Hispanic or Latino Origin. Origin can be viewed as the heritage, nationality group, lineage, or country of birth of the person or the person’s parents or ancestors before their arrival in the United States. People who identify their origin as Hispanic, Latino, or Spanish may be of any race. More information about the race categories can be found here.
Data Source: U.S. Census Bureau American Community Survey (5 Year Estimates); Table B17001(B-I) POVERTY STATUS IN THE PAST 12 MONTHS BY SEX BY AGE
In order to get estimates for places in Arizona with smaller populations we have used the American Community Survey 3 and 5 year estimates, when available.
The American Community Survey is based on sample sizes and the numbers presented in this indicator are just estimates and are not to be taken as accurate counts.
S - Estimates suppressed when the confidence interval around the percentage is greater than or equal to 10 percentage points.
N/A - Data not available
The Census Bureau recommends that you:
DO compare similar period lengths, for example, 3-year to 3-year.
DON'T compare estimates from different period lengths, for example, 1-year to 3-year.
DO compare estimates from non-overlapping periods, for example, compare a 2005-2007 ACS 3-year estimate to a 2008-2010 ACS 3-year estimate.
DON'T compare overlapping periods, for example, the 2005-2007 ACS 3-year estimates to the 2006-2008 ACS 3-year estimates.

EU – US Privacy Shield has been adopted
At last agreement has been reached on the EU – US Privacy Shield agreement which now replaces the Safe Harbor agreement. Safe Harbor was ruled invalid in 2015 by the EU Court of Justice, because they said there were not sufficient safeguards for personal data under the voluntary scheme.
The new agreement is intended to protect the privacy of EU citizens when their personal information is processed in the US.
Companies will be able to sign up to the EU – US Privacy Shield from August 1st once they have implemented any necessary changes to comply with the strict compliance obligations.
The EU – US Privacy Shield is based on a system of self-certification by which US organisations commit to a set of privacy principles entitled the EU – US Privacy Shield Framework Principles.
The new framework was unveiled in February and has been under review since then. Back in June the European Data Protection Supervisor, Giovanni Buttarelli advised that it ‘needed significant improvements’ because it was not ‘robust enough’ and that the Commission should negotiate improvements to the Privacy Shield in three main areas:
limiting exemptions to its provisions;
improving its redress and oversight mechanisms,
integrating all the main EU data protection principles.
For the Privacy Shield to be an effective improvement on Safe Harbour it must provide adequate protection against indiscriminate surveillance as well as obligations on transparency, and data protection rights for people in the EU.
In Brussels on July 12th Věra Jourová, Commissioner for Justice, Consumers and Gender Equality said: “The EU – US Privacy Shield is a robust new system to protect the personal data of Europeans and ensure legal certainty for businesses. It brings stronger data protection standards that are better enforced, safeguards on government access, and easier redress for individuals in case of complaints”
In summary the EU-US Privacy Shield is based on the following principles:
Strong obligations on Companies handling data and robust enforcement
Clear safeguards and transparency obligations on US government access
Effective protection of individual rights
Annual joint review mechanism
Easier and cheaper redress possibilities in case of complaints —directly or with the help of the local Data Protection Authority
The Privacy Shield agreement applies to both data controllers and processors (agents), and specifies that processors must be contractually bound to act only on instructions from the EU controller and assist the latter in responding to individuals exercising their rights under the Principles.
Whilst the UK remains a member of the EU (which it will be for least the next 2 years) UK based companies that process data in the US will be able to use the Privacy Shield where appropriate.

Wireless Networks & Security Protocols
Posted on June 27, 2016 June 27, 2016 by Darril.
If you’re planning on taking the Security+ exam, you should have a basic understanding of primary security protocols available for wireless networks. For example, can you answer this question?
Q. You are assisting a user implement a wireless network in his home. The wireless hardware he has requires the RC4 protocol. What type of security is BEST for this network?
A. WEP
B. WPA-TKIP
C. WPA-AES
D. WPA2 Enterprise
Because wireless networks broadcast over the air, anyone who has a wireless transceiver can intercept the transmissions. You can secure wireless networks with several different steps, but the most important step is to implement a security protocol, such as Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2).
WEP as a Security Protocol
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) was the original security protocol used to secure wireless networks. As the name implies, the goal was to provide the same level of privacy and security within a wireless network as you’d have in a wired network.
Unfortunately, WEP has significant vulnerabilities, and tools are widely available to break into WEP-protected networks. Due to the widely published vulnerabilities of WEP, the IEEE deprecated the use of WEP in 2004. The IEEE identified WPA as an interim replacement, and WPA2 is a permanent replacement.
WPA Replacing WEP
Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) was an interim replacement for WEP. It provided an immediate solution to the weaknesses of WEP without requiring users to upgrade their hardware. Even when WPA replaced WEP, its developers recognized that WPA wasn’t solid enough to last for an extended period. Instead, WPA improved wireless security by giving users an alternative to WEP with existing hardware while the developers worked on creating the stronger WPA2 protocol.
WPA2 Replacing WEP and WPA
Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) is the permanent replacement for WEP and WPA. WPA2 (also known as IEEE 802.11i) uses stronger cryptography than both WEP and WPA. The Wi-Fi Alliance requires all devices carrying its WI-FI CERTIFIED logo to meet WPA2 standards, including the use of the Counter Mode with Cipher Block Chaining Message Authentication Code Protocol (CCMP).
Some security experts have reported cracking WPA2, though their techniques have not been freely available to the public or reviewed by peers. However, they recommend using a preshared key of at least 20 characters using a complex mix of character types to thwart the vulnerabilities they identified.
Although WPA2 provides significant security improvements over previous wireless encryption techniques, some enterprises need stronger security. Another step you can take is to enable authentication with Enterprise mode.
TKIP Versus CCMP
Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) is an older encryption protocol used with WPA, and CCMP is a newer encryption protocol used with WPA2. IEEE has deprecated WPA and TKIP due to various security issues, but many wireless networks are still using these older protocols. IEEE recommends using WPA2 with CCMP because it provides significantly more security.
When first released, WPA used Rivest Cipher 4 (RC4) stream encryption with TKIP. WEP also uses RC4. However, TKIP does a better job of managing the encryption keys than WEP does, making it more secure. Additionally, TKIP encrypts each packet with a new key. Even though TKIP corrects several of WEP’s flaws, it was ultimately cracked.
A benefit of TKIP is that it didn’t require new hardware. WEP users could upgrade software and/or firmware and implement WPA with TKIP without the need to replace the hardware. Newer hardware supports WPA2, so the usage of WPA and TKIP is waning. However, you may still see some legacy hardware using WEP, WPA, and TKIP.
Later implementations of WPA support Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) instead of TKIP. AES is a very strong and efficient encryption algorithm. Many applications beyond WPA/WPA2 use AES to provide secure encryption and ensure confidentiality. Several people have been successful at cracking WPA with TKIP, so whenever possible, it’s best to upgrade WPA to WPA2, or at least upgrade TKIP to use AES.
WPA2 supports CCMP, which is based on AES and is much stronger than WPA using TKIP. WPA2 also employs much more secure methods of managing the encryption keys than either WEP or WPA.
WEP has several weaknesses and should not be used. WPA provided an immediate replacement for WEP and originally used TKIP with RC4, which was compatible with older hardware. Later implementations support the stronger AES encryption algorithm. WPA2 is the permanent replacement for WEP and WPA. WPA2 supports CCMP (based on AES), which is much stronger than the older TKIP protocol.
Answer is B. Temporal Key Integrity Protocol (TKIP) uses RC4 and is compatible with older hardware so Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) with TKIP is the best option for this network.
Wired Equivalent Privacy (WEP) uses RC4, but it is not secure and should not be used.
WPA with Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) is stronger, but it uses AES instead of RC4.
Wi-Fi Protected Access II (WPA2) Enterprise requires an 802.1x server and does not use RC4.

My Mumme Poll ballot, Week 6 →
Where things stand.
I remember when I first realized that Mark Richt was taking the program some place it hadn’t been in a long time. Ironically, that time came during a loss – the ’02 Florida game. But it was at some time during the first half when I saw the defense routinely (key word, there) stuffing an offense that had given it nothing but fits for more than a decade that I knew those guys could play with anybody. There was an attitude, a confidence about the way they went about their business that made me feel like that. And it started with the guy at the top.
So if you’re expecting me to start raving about how it’s time for Richt to go, or how Damon needs to start issuing ultimatums today, by Gawd, then this post is going to be a disappointment. Mark Richt is a good man and a great head coach. He hasn’t stopped being either of those.
But… but. I’ve read Macon Dawg’s reasoned, thoughtful comments about how this isn’t the first time Georgia’s suffered a humiliating loss, and while I agree to a point with his reasoning, I think there’s more going on than that. Mark Richt wakes up this morning as the captain of a very dysfunctional ship. I doubt there’s anyone in the Dawgnation, including the head coach, who feels same way about the program today as I did in Jacksonville seven years ago.
If I had to put my finger on what’s wrong, I’d call it a crisis of faith. I don’t mean that in a religious sense. (By the way, of all the arguments I’ve seen about what’s wrong, blaming Coach Richt’s religious convictions for the slide has to rank as the dumbest.) Rather, it’s a systemic doubt: the coaches lack faith in the players to execute and the players lack faith in the coaches’ ability to deploy them efficiently and effectively.
Speaking of irony, how else can you describe that in Richt’s self-proclaimed year without stars, this team seems more reliant than ever on hoping that it can ride sheer talent to get through a game? That’s why the offense goes through complete games where the winning strategy is little more than throw it to A.J. And that’s why you see dumb decisions on the field every week, like Prince Miller electing to return a punt from his goal line.
I’m certain Miller knows in the aftermath it was a silly thing to do. We’ll probably hear an acknowledgement from him of that some time this week, just like we heard from Brandon Boykin last week about his decision to run back an interception from deep in his end zone. But in the heat of the moment, look for these kids to keep doing things just like that – because that’s what Georgia football boils down to these days, hoping that somebody can pull off a game saving play all by their lonesome. It’s certainly entertaining, but it’s no way to sustain a program over the course of a season. Or seasons, as it’s starting to appear.
And that’s why I have to beg to differ with Macon Dawg, at least a little. What depresses me the most about what I saw yesterday is that none of the bad happened in a vacuum. There were plenty of little instances and bigger things that echo developments we’ve been observing for some time now.
Here are three of those things for you to ponder as much as I have:
Blair Walsh. Here’s a stat that should blow you away – Walsh leads the SEC in touchbacks. Let me say that again. Blair Walsh has had more kickoffs result in touchbacks than any other kicker in the SEC. He’s made all his PATs and he’s 9 of 10 in field goal attempts. 50+ yard field goals are getting to be the norm for him. In short, he’s having an all-SEC season. Yet to hear it from his coaches, you’d think he’s a significant part of Georgia’s special teams problems. The insistence on directional kicking in the face of Walsh’s leg strength has gone from puzzling to frustrating to absurd. Insane is just around the corner, I’m afraid.
Jonathan Crompton had a career day. Willie Martinez’ epitaph? If not his, sad to say, it may wind up as Richt’s. You simply can’t survive as a head coach at Georgia if your teams can’t play defense competently. And at this point, I’d settle quite happily for competence. There’s no other way to say it than that Georgia’s defense is flat out bad right now. The team’s Pavlovian reactions to misdirection and play action are predictable, to the point of being reliable – just ask Kiffin – and are exacerbated by poor fundamentals. The number of quarterbacks (and tight ends) who have enjoyed Georgia’s defensive bounty grows at a consistent and alarming rate. That’s the worst part of Crompton’s performance: nobody was surprised.
Spiking the ball with one second on the clock. I don’t know who made that Reggie-Ball-on-fourth-down-esque decision. But it’s embarrassing that anyone associated with this program did. In fact, I’m hard-pressed to think of another SEC coach that would try something like that.
If it sounds like I’m putting the onus of the situation on the coaches’ shoulders, you’re right. The first responsibility of a good coach isn’t recruiting or scheme or play calling, although they’re all important. It’s motivation. It’s getting your kids to buy into what you’re doing and believing that the program has an identity. It’s why Tennessee smoked Georgia yesterday. It’s why Georgia is going to struggle to win seven games this year.
And there simply isn’t a valid excuse as to why this program, with all of the talent and resources it has at hand, should have to struggle to do that. The rock music critic Greil Marcus had a great line about Rod Stewart – rarely has a singer betrayed his talent so completely – that isn’t on point for Mark Richt, at least not yet. But it concerns me that it still came to mind unbidden after watching yesterday’s loss. Right now, if there’s a bigger underachiever in college football than this Georgia squad, I can’t think of it.
It’s not realistic to expect changes between now and season’s end. And I don’t want Richt rushing off half cocked on big changes, anyway. (Besides, who could he bring in midseason, even if he wanted to make a change in coaching?)
But there’s one change he could and should make now. They need to quit throwing kids under the bus in public. That’s not to say that there aren’t some decisions on the personnel front that are due. But the comments in the press need to stop. In some cases, like Walsh’s, they’re not only disheartening, they’re increasingly stupid in light of the performance on the field. And whatever else Richt has to say to Martinez this week, something needs to be said about behaving like a petulant adolescent during a game when a player makes a mistake. Throwing a clipboard after a penalty may feel good, but it looks bad. There’s a reason Spurrier is mocked for acting like that. There’s also a reason he gets away with it. And Willie doesn’t have that luxury.
It’s apparent from their post game comments that these kids are hurting. Yet they’ve managed to acknowledge how things are falling short without pointing fingers in the press at themselves or their coaches. There’s a dignity in kids like Rennie Curran that deserves our support. And that of the coaches.
One last thing. I hope this is just a sentiment of the moment, and I know it’s hard to resist circling the wagons when things are going badly, but Mark Richt needs to reconsider and reject this kind of thinking:
“If you’re a leader or a player and you are brave enough to be in the arena, there’s going to be people outside the arena that want to throw things at you and say things about you,” Richt said. “But there’s honor in being in the arena, and a lot of people don’t understand it because they’ve never been in there.”
Coach, you’re better than that. We’re not the issue here. The real problems you face are fixable, although the fix won’t be pleasant. It’s time to roll up your sleeves and get to work. After all, it’s not like you haven’t done it before. I’ve no doubt you’re capable of doing it again.

Senator – well said.
Excellent Post.. in some ways it hurts to read, too.. but… the truth hurts.
We have gotten by on individual performances and you can’t do that.
It’s time for the coaches to say, “We (the coaches) need to do a better job, because we aren’t getting it done” and lay off the kids. We know the kids are making mistakes; we can see it. We don’t need the coaches to accentuate it.
BlunderingAmerican
Good post, though I’m not sure Richt has the fire in his belly to do what it takes. It’s not always easy to recapture it once it’s lost.
By the way, are you the same Senator on the DawgVent?
Senator Blutarsky was my handle on the pre-Rivals Vent. When Rivals took it over, it required re-registration and that gentleman beat me to the punch, unfortunately.
So the short answer is no.
Someone else has a “Get the Picture” handle but that person doesn’t strike me as being the same person, but I wonder how much confusion there is.
cjwestbrook
Oh, I just assumed it was the same. I guess I’ll stop making a priority to read that guy’s stuff now. Though he does strike a resemblance.
SilverDawgFrank
I plead on the altar of forgiveness, Senator, for my passions running amuck yesterday and yanking tangential arguments of the air (and elsewhere). Usually a more reasonable man prevails in my old frame. My better spirit was decidedly undercoached.
Great column. Well said. Richt can right the ship.
That I do believe.
Nice commentary.
I have a different opinion of what a coach’s first responsibility is. I think teaching technique is co-equal with motivation. Technique is molecular level football: where do linemen put their hands, how many steps in a pattern, who do I look at to do my reads.
The position coaches are supposed to teach technique, and the coordinators and head coach are the motivators and planners. The head coach and coordinators tell the position coaches what techniques to teach.
The combination of technique and motivation produces confident well trained 20 year olds. The closest analogy is military basic training.
I don’t know enough X’s and O’s to judge where the fault lies here, but I think our coordinators have lost faith in themselves, and players can tell when that happens.
Dead on man, a scene from the movie Patton has been popping through my head since yesterday, the scene where General Patton says: ”You want to know why this army got the hell kicked out of it at Kasserine, a blind man could see it in a minute, they don’t look like soldiers, they don’t act like soldiers, why the hell should they be expected to fight like soldiers”. It is obvious our defense is poorly trained and disciplined, we are not lacking raw talent. One of the reasons I have always thought Richt had a chance to be a great one was that he did not appear to have too much pride to see his own faults, learn and adapt. He appears to have a blind spot when it comes to his friend Willie Martinez though, I have the feeling he would not tolerate that kind of failure out of himself. I know he is a loyal guy and I respect that but as head football coach at UGA his duty to his players and his fans must override his duty to his friend. Willie has got to go and Richt has got to find someone who can light a fire under the defense again (not Muschamp).
The Original Chuck
I think that’s fundamental, and unfortunately, it appears to be the thing Richt least understands. All this talk about execution in very vague terms rather than as a biproduct of process is not good.
Great post Senator.
During the game, I was bothered by what I perceived to be Richt’s lack of emotion, almost looking aloof even. After a night to sleep on it, I’m wondering if what I saw was more like a man who is appalled at what he’s seeing and knows he’s going to have to fire some people that are very close to him. He’s a good man to be sure, so if he’s feeling that way (and I hope he is), then that’s the only rationale I can see for his demeanor yesterday. Any thoughts?
Richt usually doesn’t get too emotional on the sidelines- he has, but usually he doesn’t. It is part of who he is and also was developed while he was an OC, so that instead of venting, he could call the next play. This point was commented on by several writers and announcers back in the good days, stating that while at times some fire would be good, the calm would also help when things got bad, the team wouldn’t panic and would just go to work at rallying.
NebraskaDawg
Will Richt wind up like Fulmer and fall on the sword instead of firing some of his assisstants? I hope not. But if Richt continues with the status quo then he may go that route. How long have we been talking about the same problems under Richt? The team looks poorly coached. We look so predictable on both sides of the ball it is pathetic. They make no adjustments and continue to fall for the same shit on defense (especially play action pass of which you’d think our defense would be good against since it the same exact damn thing we run on our offense). If Richt decides not to make any changes then accountablility lies squarely on his shoulders.
Accountability always lies squarely on the head coach’s shoulders. It’s one of the beautiful things about college football–you can’t blame the meddling owner, the salary cap, or the idiot GM.
Actually there is a “meddling owner” and “idiot GM.” He’s called an AD and his name is Damon Evans. I will not go into everything he has done to facilitate where we are now in this post but, suffice to say, he definitely deserves at least some of the blame.
You sound like prototypical message board guy.
“I’m not gonna say anything, but I know something that you don’t, thereby increasing my anonymous credibility when anything happens, allowing me to point back to me saying I knew something. Granted what I knew wasn’t what happened, but it was something, so I was still right.”
You must be new to this blog. I have made NUMEROUS detailed posts here over the entire course of the season about Damon Evans’ deficiencies as AD. First, the entire season got off to an awful start when he subjected his team to the indignity of opening on the road as cannonfodder for the grand reopening of a top 10 ranked team’s stadium where they got mercilessly home-cooked by the refs. I figure in an honestly reffed game the Dawgs win that one 17-10 or at worst it goes into OT.( I bet you didn’t know that Jerry Jones offered $8.5 Million to move that game to the new Dallas Cowboy Stadium-a neutral site-and Okie State turned it down. I wonder why?) Second, by now it is beyond argument that something rotten has been going on with the Dawgs and SEC referees. What has Damon Evans done about that? Nothing! The theft by the refs of what should have been a win over LSU had as much to do with the TN loss as anything ( I wrote a detailed post on how fragile the confidence of 19 year old kids is) and our AD does nothing. Third, the scheduling miscues that have come to fruition this season are monumental. UGA had at least 4 “trap games” on the schedule this year. We finish the season against KY and GT back to back and both of them have a bye week before playing UGA but UGA does not. This is systematically setting your team up for failure. So, if you don’t know about what is going on, just read and maybe you’ll learn something.
The usual BS.
Conspiracy-laden crap with no actual information, just pure outlandish speculation–“the refs are agin’ us”–come on.
and by the way, the referees didn’t make us give up a huge kickoff return after the TD–for the umpteenth time this year!!!, or make us miss a field goal that would have changed the last LSU series, or allow a running play to go 30+ yards with the game on the line.
Refs didn’t do any of that. Shut your face about the damn referees already.
Excuse me? How do refs have anything to do with scheduling games where the other teams have an extra week to get ready and your team doesn’t? We have THREE of those ( Arkansas was one, too) on the schedule this year.
Ooh, three? In one season in the last 6 or 7, Alabama had 7 such games.
I didn’t know that. What year, and what was ” Bama’s record that year?
You’re the one who brought up not addressing the so-called ref conspiracy.
And as for scheduling, well, f’ing grow a pair. Wasn’t it Richt who whined about Jacksonville, too?
You want to play with the big boys, start freaking being one.
Go check Tennessee’s schedule from last season, Mayor.
the tri guy
Dude, KY doesn’t have a bye before playing us, and even if they did, they are KY. We really shouldn’t need them to be worn out to beat them.
Tri guy, I checked it out and you are right–my bad.
Dawggonepanic
We are a football program in trouble! We can’t block anyone and we can’t tackle anyone. This is the worst secondary I can remember in UGA history. Yet week after week we see the same people make the same mistakes and they still remain starters. It make me wonder what is going on in Athens w/ our coaches. This year has been unbelievable. Are the players really this bad or are the coaches this bad. According to the recruiting rankings it is the coaches. I thought they could turn things around after last year but I was wrong and this is unacceptable. Some changes must be made!
Oh by the way, solid anaylsis Senator.
Section Z alum
i’ve wondered before about richt’s staffing choices (duh). he’s had remarkable stability in terms of low turnover. i thought last season that stability played a role in keeping martinez – take a chance on him improving so that you don’t have turmoil in the ranks with coaches vying for the dc slot and the silver-medalist leaving (i.e. – rodney garner going somewhere else in the conference). but dear lord he’s going to have to do something now. no revelations here, but i wonder how this shakes up beyond the dc level.
bobo is more of a puzzle. does richt resume play calling and keep bobo on? i dunno. but he certainly appears to be the one who is most lost without stafford and moreno.
i completely agree that richt is a great coach and person having one hell of a bad year. but when he has screwed things up before he has taken responsibility (recall the jasper-dive with seconds evaporating against auburn, and richt ‘fessing up to his own fault and addressing it explicitly in the off season).
lastly – i think we now more fully understand just how good of a coach van gorder is…
God I hope not…Bobo does what he can although lately his game calling has been off and I can give no reason why that should be. I think it’s as the great senator said, its a crisis of faith.
I saw Richt try to do things that didnt work until they did way more than bobo ever has. Bobo is good for a few failed plays before he moves onto something else, rather than trying it the whole game. Richt doesn’t always seem to have that going for him.
Athens Avenger
Excellent treatment. Richt has a tough road ahead to get back to where he was, but I believe he will get there.
I am going to write off the “honor in the arena” remark as regrettable words spoken in a moment of personal crisis. In a world where the average fan lives in fear of the next mortgage payment, I know (hope?) that Richt would never intentionally imply that only he and his well-paid staff understand the “honor” inherent in fighting to survive.
I’ve also been perplexed at the lack of confidence in Blair Walsh. The kid has been for the most part fantastic. He is one of only a handful of kickers in the country that is almost automatic from 50+. They bring in yet another scholarship kicker in the off season when Walsh could kick it in the endzone all along. Fabris is a joke.
S.E. Dawg
On-point and well said Senator. If changes are to be made and I doubt that will happen, I hope it’s after signing day. If changes are made mid-stream I’m afraid some of the kids will jump ship. I don’t think re-evaluating is going to cut it this time. That was supposed to have already been done last year. I know Coach Richt knows 100 time more about football than I and I’m sure he knows what the coaches are capable of, but when you have a former player that was a receiver coaching running backs and a former running back coaching receivers there is doubt that they are up to the task. I wish we all knew what the answers are and I guess the coaches do too. It’s sad that we can’t compete against a new coaching staff as in Tenn. and ours have been there for 9 years. I think coach Richt is trying his best to be a head coach without being an actual coach but he may need to be more hands on again and that’s tough row to hoe.
Excellent post, Senator.
I too am very disheartened by Mark Richt’s increasing penchant for blaming the players or the critics. It doesn’t look good, it doesn’t set a good tone, and most of all it won’t work.
from a buddy...
This came from a buddy of mine…
“Check out these stats:
Season Highs (For most Career Highs)
Arkansas Ryan Mallet 408 yards vs UGA (next best game was 309 yards vs Missouri State)
South Carolina Stephen Garcia 313 yards vs UGA (next best game was 222 yards vs Florida Atlantic)
Tennessee Jonathan Crompton 310 yards vs UGA (next best game was 259 yards vs Auburn)
Next Best Game
LSU Jordan Jefferson 212 yards vs UGA (best game was 233 vs Mississippi State)”
Telling.
We just can’t execute, I guess.
Nice post, Senator. I enjoy your work.
When hiring partners or C-level execs, venture capitalists often talk of “pattern recognition.” They’re looking for people who’ve seen enough startup trajectories to see parallels, to ask the right questions and to understand the implications of acting and not acting.
I look at Richt from 2006 on, and I’m unshakably led to Fulmer, 2005-2008; Donnan, 1998-2000, Dooley, 1984-1988; Tuberville, 2006-2008; Majors and Dye, 1990-1992. Each coach saw the competitive landscape around him change, and each was eventually overwhelmed.
Some stood pat, wrongly thinking that football strategy is a carved-in-stone thing: what works, works — always and forever.
Others flailed about, juggling staff. But the new hires were hired by the same guy who hired the last batch. Sometimes they caught lightning in a bottle (Borges, 2004; Garner, 2000). But, in the big picture, it amounted to rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic.
I want to see Richt succeed. I like him as a person. But I don’t see many second acts in this game, and Richt is at the end of his first.
I haven’t felt this grim about Georgia football since my student years (1993-1996). Going forward, we can be occasionally good under Richt, but the longer we accept good, the longer we postpone great.
Problem is too many people here are fine with good. Talk to people at the game, and to a man they’ll tell you how come you’ve got crazy expectations if you’re unhappy with the fact that we win roughly 10 games a year. They tend to ignore the ways we’ve managed to loose the other 3ish games each season, however. The amount of excuses after last years amazingly disappointing 10-3 was completely stunning on so many levels I almost gave up then.
Do you really think the coach is the reason a team shot through with injuries and an OL with no one older than their sophomore year is the reason UGA didn’t beat Florida and win the MNC? How many SECCs or MNCs have had such problems?
Yeah, you do have very irrational expectations if you think firing a head coach who had Georgia (historically, an upper Tier 2 program, by the way), in the top 10 6 of his first 8 seasons including 2 SECC seasons and 2 seasons that have been good enough to make the MNC game for other SEC MNC winners this decade (who simply got a better luck of the draw, which the MNC game requires), is a good idea.
The problem isn’t people settling. The problem is all yours… and it is a very common error made by CFB fans with tunnel vision on their own team.
Um, we finished #2 in the country in 2007, fwiw. Where does that fit in the patterns of the others you mentioned?
Pretty consistently, I’d say. Fulmer rebounded after 2005’s 5-7 season to kick our asses twice in a row and went to Atlanta in 2007. We thought Ray Goff was on to something in ’92. Auburn was ranked #5 coming into Athens in ’07. All were mirages.
I’m glad you brought up 2007, because that’s lynchpin for every status-quo-er in our fanbase. That was a great team that had no business watching the SECC from home. That said, way too much has been made of the strong finish. That ’07 Florida team was a broken one, as was Auburn. Gailey was on the way out at Tech, and Hawai’i, well, come on. We beat those teams like we should have, and we lost to SC and Tennessee like we shouldn’t have.
I don’t know that I’m ready to see Richt fired. But when I ask myself if I believe Richt is going to get us back in Atlanta in early December, I look at what’s brewing in Gainesville and Knoxville and no rational part of me can come up with an argument for why I should say yes.
“Status quo-er.”
That’s cute. (Especially coming from someone who admits he too supports the status quo (keeping Richt).)
Nice downplaying of 2007, fwiw, but it is what it is: a year in which, comparing the full resumes of every CFB program that year, Georgia had the 2nd best performance of all of them.
And the Fulmer comparison is cute… but his 2006 and 2007 teams each lost 4 games. He then had a 2008 that completely melted down. Richt’s 2007-2009 is not even remotely close to that.
I’m not going to get in a pissing match online, especially with someone who appears to be in violent agreement with me.
I’ve acknowledged the possibility that Richt could surprise me by radically overhauling his staff (Mack Brown is a case study of how episodes like this can be overcome), while expressing my skepticism that he’ll do so.
But who knows? Richt has surprised me before. When a 9-year veteran of the league and a full roster of top-10 recruiting classes gets run out of the stadium by a rookie coach with an incomplete roster, it would be hard to see that as anything other than a cataclysmic event. Richt just hasn’t acknowledged it as such, hence my skepticism.
Senator – very well put.
I agree completely that throwing kids under the bus is ludicrous. But I’m amazed at the expectations of many bloggers/posters that the coaches are going to say something really introspective or uplifting in a post-loss press conference. Some act like they want to hear Richt/Willie/Bobo/Fabris throw each other under the bus or bang on the table and act like lunatics to prove they’re angry about losing. That’s a ridiculous expectation that wouldn’t do a damn thing to change anyone’s feelings about the loss. They probably understand that the more they say, the more ammunition they give to their critics. Specific tactics are easier to assail than general remarks.
Frustration is high after such a brutal loss and accountability should be expected in any profession. But it’s not going to be debated publicly by the coaching staff or administrators and no changes are going to be made mid-season. I realize that many feel like changes were due at the end of last season so they’re extrapolating to the end of this year and assuming that the same will hold true (because of Richt’s “loyalty”). I say let it play out before making judgments. Even though the beginnings of the “systemic doubt” may have come last year or earlier, I didn’t really expect that UGA would make changes after finishing #2 in 2007 and starting #1, finishing #10 and winning 10 games in 2008 (that hardly sounds like rock-bottom where change would be a given).
This year, the confusion and lack of productivity on both sides of the ball is, I believe, apparent to everyone – including the coaches. Candidly, I don’t expect or want Richt to start publicly stating that things need to change in the next six games or someone’s getting fired. But I do hold hope that appropriate personnel decisions are made if/when (depending on your perspective) the same problems continue through the remainder of the season.
As self-serving as they may have been, Bobby Bowden’s comments aired during last night’s game were applicable – “a head coach ain’t nothin’ but a dadgum problem solver” (or something very close to that). UGA needs to solve some problems and it’s looking like personnel changes may be warranted at the end of the year. If Richt has truly transformed from position coach to head coach, then he’ll manage change for the good of the program rather than the good of his staff and friends. I’m not going to assume he won’t act in that manner. It appears that this might be the kind of season where it’s a lot easier to make those kind of decisions when the season is done.
The only thing that I’m virtually certain of is that Mark Richt will be UGA’s coach next year. Any speculation about next year should focus on who would be part of Richt’s staff – not who will replace Richt and who will he bring with him. I do wonder about the staff dynamics at UGA versus at other schools. I’m quite sure that the everyday environment at UGA (under Richt) is quite different than at places like Tennessee. The kind of coach that will be attracted to some places won’t be attracted to UGA. And, if they would be offered and accept, the fit might be dysfunctional (see Tony Franklin at Auburn). Could you ever see a guy like Orgeron working with someone like Richt?
It’s likely that coordinator selections would have to come from lower divisions, second-tier BCS conferences or second-rate teams in first-tier BCS conferences. Sometimes, selections work out OK (Fresno State OC to Bama; Malzahn to Auburn – so far) and other times not so well (Richmond coach to UT; Franklin). Unfortunately, many Dawg fans seem to think we should be able to attract Tony Dungy as our D.C. and Bill Walsh (if he wasn’t dead) as our O.C. I very much doubt that UGA’s selections will come from the NFL. And, if they do, they’ll probably be someone we’ve never heard of (no, it won’t be Van Gorder).
Last, Richt will have to concern himself with how his hiring decisions affect current coaches he wants to keep. Will Garner leave if he doesn’t get the D.C. job? Given his recruiting prowess, he may be the one person that is deemed irreplaceable on the staff. What would the reaction be if we hire unknown coordinators and Garner bolts?
Most of the short lists that are thrown out by bloggers and posters focus on head coaches. And most of them are crazy (Gruden, Cowher, D. Dooley). Some are coordinator suggestions but typically “homers” (Muschamp, Smart). I think it would be interesting for more educated fans than me to speculate on who the most interesting coordinators are (i.e., who is this year’s Malzahn? where’s the up and coming Charlie Strong?)
Putting things in perpective (as you have here), I was listening to a national sports call-in show after Southern Cal lost a few weeks ago. Wouldn’t you know it, people were screaming for Carrol’s head, that he’s lost his touch, the game has moved past him, that he can’t recruit anymore, ad nausem.
That crazy talk sure did sound familiar, and all I could do was chuckle at those comments.
Thanks for the perspective. I absolutely agree about all of the coaching stuff; it will be people we’ve not heard of–college coaches, come on no NFL guy wants to step down from college and have to recruit unless they are just run completely out of there or came from it first, like Kiffin–unless we’re lucky enough to score perhaps Tommy Tuberville (which would seem to depend of personalities and how/if TT would want to get back in the game). But it would be nice to have a substantial discussion on this, and even whether CWM would be able to resume as secondary coach.
But I do have to dissent about the coaching comments. No, Richt is not going to blame his coaches or discuss strategy in a detailed way, and he is right to do that.
But what gets people so hopping, including me, is that he seems to want to lay blame everywhere else in subtle ways, i.e. Blair Walsh, Joe Cox’s “regression” non-denial yesterday, the constant execution excuse, the scheduling, being number one pre-season, having “stars,” being the favorite, the travel between games…
It seems that this crap didn’t happen a few years ago.
In that vein, I’d say shoot for Dana Holgoren (Houston OC, former Texas Tech OC but they had a 1,200 yard rusher last year and put up solid #s against every auto-BCS team they faced) for OC and TCU’s Dick Bumpas for DC.
And longshot (maybe) DC? Tuberville. He was DC for wrecking crew Texas A&M and Miami under Jimmy Johnson, and other than against us, his last few Auburn squads weren’t giving up 40 spots (plus he held that record-breaking 2007 Florida team to 17 points.)
His biggest weakness before the Tony Franklin Project fizzled was losing to teams he shouldn’t, but was excellent at beating rivals and Florida.
Also, it doesn’t get said enough, but Jancek should join Willie on the way out–other than Rennie we don’t hear much about our linebackers, and it’s the entire back seven biting on seemingly every play-action fake.
Those are the kind of interesting names (Holgoren, Bumpas) that I ‘m talking about. I agree that Tuberville is a longshot and, probably, a poor fit. But I think fans and players could get excited about coordinators that would put us in a position to win with a combination of scheme and athleticism rather than athleticism alone. (Even then, Richt and Evans will never please everyone – I’m sure you can imagine the reaction of some long-time Dawgs about hiring a Texas Tech coordinator)
Next year, whoever the coordinators are, I’d like to see opposing defenses looking confused and desperate (like our D often looks). And I’d like to see opposing offenses looking confused and timid (like our O often looks).
Another thing I’ve wondered about is what goes on in the offseason amongst a long-tenured staff like Georgia has. I believe one of the reasons that staffs wear out their welcome is because of their tenure and tendency to keep doing the same things year in and year out. Over time, there’s plenty of film to use to see what works and what doesn’t. Rather than solely thinking about how we’re going to scheme for other teams and their tendencies, are our coaches asking “how do other teams scheme for us” and “how can we make changes to make sure our schemes are evolving/unpredictable”? I really haven’t seen much evidence that’s the case.
We’re not going to get that kind of insight from our current SEC competitors but I would think ex-coaches like Tuberville and Croom would be able to provide great insight that would help our coaches to improve scheme. It’s apparent that coaches have learned how to prepare for UGA and there are quite a few game tapes that now act as a handbook for game prep.
I just don’t see Tubberville taking a step back to DC. I think he will wait for another HC job. Maybe at A&M or something like that.
One other thing I wonder about on offense is whether Richt is married to the idea of having QBs read the defense and make adjustments at the line. That’s an area that I think was ripe for evolution this year with a first year – albeit “experienced” – quarterback. Next year will be even more pronounced with a RS sophomore or freshman starting at QB with no game experience.
I recognize that UGA’s pro-style approach with the QB making the reads and running the offense is what attracts guys like Stafford to sign up. And reading comments like Schwartz’s about Stafford’s preparation for the NFL are flattering to UGA’s approach. But isn’t it too much to ask a typical 20 year old kid at ground level to make the necessary adjustments to beat top-notch defenses?
I will one-up your crazy….
We get Monte Kiffin as DC.
DallasDawg
“Georgia Embarrassed” That’s the headline in today’s Dallas Morning News which gives quite a bit of coverage to UGA; the lasting impact of Stafford I guess.
Seriously, as I’ve watched our opponents (even the losers) this season I generally think they’ve come into the game with a plan that plays to their strengths and exploits our (many it seems) weaknesses yet I don’t see that UGA approaches the games with any real plan at all. We seem to trot out the same the same group and tell them (via the play calling and defensive schemes) to do the same things regardless of who we are playing. Maybe a break a the directional kicking thing isn’t an example of this but otherwise I think I’m right. Are we not looking at who’s on the schedule and trying to come up with a plan to beat that specific team?
While we’ve still got time maybe we should start practicing with only one thing in mind: beating Tech. I don’t see us doing much else at this point that would salvage the season any meaningful way.
It is pretty obvious that this is happening. Along with the play-action, Kiffin determined that a. his QB sucks under pressure but can roll out ok; b. our LBs cannot cover any receivers; c. we blitz up the middle this year, for personnel, scheme, or whatever other reasons.
So a and b we can’t much help in-game. But C, we can do something about that. Did we try to bring pressure from the edges? I gave up on the game in the 3rd after it was 31-19 and wasn’t looking for this. Anyone?
There is one simple problem with our team (hint it’s NOT Richt): it’s Van Gorder vs. Willie….that’s almost the only difference here (we run the same offense – I think Bobo is better than Richt was).
Simple fact is, we haven’t had a defense play WEEK IN AND WEEK OUT since 2004. In 2005, we had the Auburn collapse and West Virginia. 2006, Tennessee 2nd half. 2007, Tennessee again. 2008, umm….Bama, Florida, Kentucky, Tech…lol. 2009, we have South Carolina, Arkansas, and Tennessee. These are all absolute utter collapses. I was in Knoxville yesterday, and I was laughing it was so bad. We will never again win consistently with Willie has our defensive coordinator. Yes our offense is horrible this year…..but in the past, that didn’t mean an automatic loss.
There is one thing to do and everyone either knows or SHOULD know what it is by now. Facts don’t lie, and our defense is terrible. They even cracked during the Florida-LSU game about LSU driving late in the game that, “this isn’t any Georgia defense” and laughed and said, “True.” We’re the punch line to jokes about defense in the SEC.
If that isn’t enough to make something happen, I don’t know what will do it. When we’re the national laughingstock for defense, Georgia has fallen hard and fast.
“They even cracked during the Florida-LSU game about LSU driving late in the game that, “this isn’t any Georgia defense” and laughed and said, “True.” We’re the punch line to jokes about defense in the SEC.” -WOW …I did not hear that. Sad.

“…. I had to put my finger on what’s wrong, I’d call it a crisis of faith…….”
Brother you read my mind. All night I was thinking about things and I kept coming back to a phrase of “lack of belief” or “crisis of confidence” in describing this team. But motivation is not all on the coaches. Players have to buy in and motivate themselves, too. And as you pointed out so well, that just is not happening because the players don’t have faith/confidence/belief.
It would really, really, really behoove the coaching staff to stop the passive-aggressive bullsh*t with the fans.
The fans say directional kicking isn’t working. The fans are 106% right. Admit it and move on.
jdawg
The disheartening part is that the team had “faith” in the pre-season and up to the LSU game. That game seems to have broken the players. The offense hasn’t moved the ball effectively in the past 3 games. The Defense must be getting tired of playing all game. Seems as though they are sensing that something isn’t working.
We were unquestionably outcoached AND out played against Tenn. The offense and defense were completely out schemed. They had a plan to exploit what we have been doing: the same plays over and over, the same offensive and defensive formations. I believe that Richt can turn it around, but wish the bye was this week.
The sad part is that being from the NFL they didn’t have to work too hard to scheme us. On both sides of the ball the Pro’s handled the amateurs with great ease.
I see very few people blaming his religion. Instead, I see people pointing out that our fans use his religion as an excuse so as to never put any pressure on the man. I’m thrilled he’s a great human being and a wonderful Christian, but the amount of people who that placates after every loss is ultimately the most frustrating thing about our team. “Well, he’s a good Christian man.” Wonderful, but we’re paying him to be a good coach first. I just wish the fanbase would stop using his faith as a reason behind keeping him as coach.
Tenn_Dawg
My thoughts exactly. Our fans are using his Christiany as a crutch. I am a man of faith and I am glad he is a man of faith as well…..but he is paid for running a clean program and winning football games.
I have realistic expectations. I know we are not going to win every game, win SEC championships every year and NCs every five years. I do however expect the team to compete at a certain level given the resources of our program and the recruiting prowless. Getting blown out by comparable teams and barely beating teams that are not on our level is getting old.
Is it just me or does it rub others the wrong way that Richt has very little interaction with the players during the game. I never see him coaching guys up, calming them down, getting in their face, etc. He seems almost disinterested. I hate to bring the guys names up but Saban and Meyer both do this. They seem like they are involved with every aspect of the game during the game. They are interacting with the position coaches, players and co-ordinators. I know it is probably not Richt’s style but the current approach is not working.
I’ve seen this critisism several times and think it’s just way off base. Mark is very involved with the players coming on and off the field. He just doesn’t nuzzle and kiss like Meyer does to the Chosen One…thank God.
“I hate to bring the guys names up but Saban and Meyer both do this. They seem like they are involved with every aspect of the game during the game.”
So is Richt.
And FWIW, not sure what you’re seeing with Saban. 90% of the time that guy looks like he’s just strolling around.
I heard Loren Smith defend the continued employment of CWM on the grounds that his daughters go to UGA and that they bleed red and black.
BTW, I tuned into radio broadcast. The current broadcast team is great with Butler, Green, Zeier, Dantzer, Howard, Loren Smith, Williamson nd Dowdle.
But it was comical when they went to Loren on the sidelines for a comment in the 2nd half, with the score 24-19, and Loren’s sideline comment is about the good fishing in Donaldsonville, GA, where Bacarri Rambo is from.
Loren is a total douche that is a sycophant and needs to do the world a favor and retire. Did I make my feelings clearly known?
The hardest part about all of this for me is the faith that I’m losing in Richt. Since he came to UGA, I’ve been as big a supporter of Richt as anyone. I just love so many things about the guy. He’s a great man; a wonderful husband; and an outstanding father.
But as of right now, I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t quickly losing faith in his ability to coach, part of which involves making whatever tough decisions are necessary for the good of the program. Surely he realizes what is involved in being a CEO-figure. I mean, … surely.
If you’d told me back in 2007 (the year of the emergence of Evil Richt) that I’d be thinking the sorts of thoughts that I am now, … I’d have said you were crazy. But if some sort of decisive changes are not made between now and Jacksonville, I’m afraid my days of Mark Richt apologia will be numbered.
Do you really think there is any way we beat Florida now? I mean, at this point I’m just hoping to upset Auburn and Georgia Tech. Asking for a victory over Florida with this group, when Richt’s GREATEST teams couldn’t pull that off, seems like asking too much.
Oh, absolutely not. I’m just thinking that, if Richt makes some sort of drastic change between now and Florida, I’d at least take that as a sign that he still recognizes that his job is first-and-foremost about winning games. But if, between now and what is arguably the biggest game of our season each year, Richt makes no observable effort whatsoever to right the ship … then I’ll take that as a sign that he’s simply conceding the rest of the season, which no coach should ever do. (The Vandy game, as far as I’m concerned, is totally irrelevant.)
There is no way that Richt or any other college coach (so no “But Saban…,” witness 2007) would make drastic changes on the order of what you’re wanting at mid-season.
Well, I never specified what sorts of changes I want made, so I find it impossible to understand how you could be so confident that Richt would never make the sorts of changes I want made mid-season.
In agreement here, but food for thought (and perhaps faith) is that CMR has made changes before (2006 and 2007, for example).
This year does seem different, though.
I fully expect to take a huge beat down by Florida, probably the worse loss ever at the hands of the gators and possibly in program history. Tebow will want to do once more just to pay us back for beating him once. I’ll beat Meyey holds all of this time outs to the last minute and calls them then just to relish in the moment.
I’d gladly take the inevitable massive loss one more time if we played Murray or whomever we think the QB of the future is just to give him some PT and put a bad taste in his mouth that I hope would turn into motivation for revenge. If he’s all people have said he is he won’t stay four years anyway so why bother with the redshirt?
To be clear, I absolutely expect us to lose to Florida. But the loss will be much easier for me to swallow if I think that, between now and then, steps have been taken to turn this back into a respected, winning football program.
I have zero hope that any action will be taken during the season. As far as UF bend over and grab your ankles because it’s not going to be pretty.
http://www.firemarkricht.net . It’s the opposite of the eric berry campaign.
If I am an OC and I look at our D I’m a happy man if I have a semi-competent passer and a good TE. We do as we have done for 9 years and I think Lane pointed it out nicely. If an NFL coach (even a bad one)can’t beat a cover 2 then he would have never been in the NFL no matter who his father was.
In defense of the O, Monty was doing back flips and said as much to see a pro type O coming to town. The man did not have to scheme for us he invented the D to stop us and he cut our heart out. Anyone that thinks Mike Bobo could make a Monty Kiffin D break a sweat is just plain nuts. We are lucky we made any 1st downs at all.
All day I watched some really great SEC D’s and what I saw made me sad. We used to have great D’s that rose up and stopped the opponent, now we have Rennie trying to cover the entire field to make saving tackles on D and kickoffs. He is being wasted. Our DC reminds me of Donald Duck as he waves his arms and whistles to get the attention of the players who are looking at him like they don’t know what the heck is going on.
Great D’s like great soldiers perform on instinct honed by training. When things start to go bad you act decisively you don’t stop to think. Lack of training causes hesitation and that causes the kind of play we are getting from our D.
Having followed UGA football for 50+ years and seen plenty of good, bad and ugly teams this is the first time I have just felt sad. I guess it comes with getting old and knowing that there are so few next years to wait and see if the Dawgs can do it.
Couldn’t agree more re: the “Arena” quote, which obviously borrows liberally from Teddy Roosevelt. Very disappointing coming from Richt. I really expect more accountability from him.
Mark really needs to consider the “Pride goeth before a fall” quote. All the great coaches of the past would never ever point fingers at anyone except themselves. Bear, Dooley, Dodd etc. they were not going to lay it off on anyone. CMR lost a lot of points with me when he made the statement about Blair’s KO’s. Just say it’s my fault and leave it at that.
The staff did the “let’s blame the best player” crap with Lumpkin in 2006. Dude whiffed on one (1) block, and he was in the doghouse the rest of the year, despite being the only offensive weapon grounded in sanity (unlike that year’s version of Stafford).
CataulaDawg
The only thing that disappoints me more than the trajectory of the season is the ruthless, irrational reaction of some of the “fans”. I appreciate seeing an articulate assessment like the Senator’s and I agree that radical coaching changes during the middle of a season won’t usually turn the season around (see: Felton, Dennis).
It’s been my observation that in leadership, if your team isn’t producing, it’s your responsibility to do something about it. If you don’t, someone up the food chain will make those decisions for you and you may not agree with the outcome.
Paging Mark Richt: please don’t let this happen.
We’ll have to see this season through, but hopefully at its conclusion we will have a coaching staff that can leverage the abundant talent and resources to maximum potential.
“I agree that radical coaching changes during the middle of a season won’t usually turn the season around (see: Felton, Dennis).”
It’s worth noting that Georgia managed to essentially knock both Florida and Kentucky out of the NCAA tournament field after Felton was fired. No, the team didn’t really get worlds better, but they at least won a few conference games.
I’ll gladly forgive Richt for any quotes considered in bad taste. He’s a very good man and is human like the rest of us. I’m sure it’s a very difficult day for him.
I know from personal experiences that sometimes you have to hit an all-time low for change to occur. That’s even if you knew change was necessary to begin with. I believe great things will come from this.
We all have talked about the problems over and over now. It’s no secret anymore what’s going wrong. There’s really not a whole lot we can do to change how the staff manages the team. IMO, the ONLY thing we can do is to show an unwavering support of our team and help them back onto their feet. No, that’s not looking at the season with rose-colored glasses. It’s called being a fan. Let’s not take our frustrations out on the players by continuing to bitch about the same things. Yeah, it sucks our coaches continue to do things that drive us crazy and I have done my fair share of bitching this year. I just think a strong showing up support will do a lot more for the team at this point. Go Dawgs!!!
MacAttack
As someone said on another forum, the players were NOT running to Richt before the game (on the field) and have not been ALL SEASON LONG
The players did not respect the coaches and it shows
We are poorly coached, under-performing almost all over, and are losing by BLOWOUTS
Major changes do in fact need to be made and if we keep coming up with new excuses….we will go another 4+ years without a single SECCG appearence
Wes G
I was never a “Fire Willie Martinez” guy (out loud anyway), though I wouldn’t have been upset to see him go.
But I guess now I have to be. It’s awful to see great players killing themselves on the field, betrayed by scheme and a lack of practice against certain plays (play action bootleg, anyone?).
So I say he has to go. I think Richt will fire him. Richt is a competitive guy, and he doesn’t want to get fired (which he will be in a few years if he doesn’t let Willie go). So I look forward to that problem getting fixed.
But Richt isn’t the problem. Richt is a great coach. And our players are great players. And out program is a great program. It’s still great to be a Georgia Bulldog, and this ship will right, one way or another.
As of 2:00 pm there were 1,385 comments on one of the AJC stories. That tells me the natives are restless. People certainly do not like what’s going on with this program.
It also goes to show how positively giddy Georgia Tech fans are at this point in the season.
1st win over Georgia in 8 years + turmoil in the Georgia fanbase = the only thing better than a great night of drinkin’ Zimas and playin’ World of Warcraft.
Has Richt ever demoted or fired an assistant? serious question, and I don’t know the answer.
He did fire our first running backs coach, apparently for some indiscretions, but the details were never made public.
Richt needs to realize our player talent deserves the same level of coaching talent.
I don’t think so. I don’t think any have ever reached a point where assistants are normally fired at major programs though. It just doesn’t happen as often as many people think.
Is Richt too loyal? Maybe. But we have no way of knowing at this point given there haven’t been any situations where a coach under Richt has reached a situation that usually results in firing/demotion elsewhere in CFB.
Great post, Senator.
Even great programs occasionally have bad teams. And we have one this year.
And seasons with bad teams are never pretty. They are filled with errors, bad coaching decisions, etc. But you don’t just fire proven coaches with great track records because of one (or even two) bad years. You let them work through it. Not just because they have earned that right, but because it is more often than not going to be the best choice for future results.
Richt was a good enough judge of coaching talent to shock us all by giving the DC job to an obscure defensive coach at Western Illinois. We need another wise pick like back then.
—Enlightening Article from 2001 season.—
VanGorder has defense on upswing at end of season
Charles Odum
DawgPost.com Nov 27, 2001
ATHENS, Ga. — It doesn’t require a great deal of technical football knowledge to see the difference in the Georgia defense in the last few weeks.
Most obviously and simply, Georgia is making the tackles that it missed only a few weeks ago.
In last Saturday night’s 31-17 win at Georgia Tech, the Bulldogs held Tech’s highly ranked offense to only 63 yards rushing and 242 total yards.
The week before against a Mississippi offense that ranked second in the Southeastern Conference in scoring, Georgia’s defense was similarly impressive in a 35-15 win. The Rebels were held to a net of 28 yards rushing and 261 total yards.
Is Georgia tackling better?
“I don’t think there’s any doubt about it,’’ said defensive coordinator Brian VanGorder before Monday’s practice for Saturday’s final regular-season game against Houston.
VanGorder said he and the other defensive assistants discussed the decline in missed tackles in meetings Monday.
“The missed tackles between Florida compared to the last two weeks are dramatically different,’’ said VanGorder, who wouldn’t release any numbers on missed tackles. “Poor tackling is a cancer on defense and we’ve been able to do better in that area.’’
Through most of the season, VanGorder was most proud of his unit’s effort in a 14-9 loss to South Carolina in the second week of the season. The last two weeks were the best efforts in consecutive games and have provided encouragement that the players have become more comfortable with VanGorder’s defense and what he demands of players.
“I think we’re playing better football and I think we’re preparing better, with a better focus,’’ he said. “That obviously has given us the momentum.’’
The key to improved play has been improved practice.
“What you see out there is how we prepare in practice,’’ said senior rover Jermaine Phillips. “I think it’s the way we are practicing that’s made the biggest difference.’’
Now when VanGorder sends in a play, each player on defense has a better grasp of his responsibility.
“I think everybody knows now what to do and what their assignment is,’’ Phillips said.
Said VanGorder: “As coaches, it has definitely been a big part of our mission statement to create a tempo in practice that carries over into the game.’’
Georgia has not allowed as many as 30 points in a game this season, but after allowing big yards in midseason games against Kentucky, Florida and Auburn, there were concerns about the defense under VanGorder.
Now No. 16 Georgia ranks fourth in the Southeastern Conference and 24th in the nation in scoring defense, allowing 20.1 points per game. The Bulldogs rank third in the SEC and 19th in the nation with their average of 115.1 yards rushing allowed per game.
Coach Mark Richt is especially happy with the way VanGorder has devised schemes to combat the opponent’s strength.
“That’s about what I was expecting from Coach VanGorder when I hired him,’’ Richt said. “He’s not a guy who’s gonna put a cookie-cutter defense out there. He does a great job, he along with our staff, of really dissecting what teams will do and taking away what they do best.’’
The defense has stiffened late in the season even after losing starting defensive end Bruce Adrine to a season-ending knee injury and, in a more devastating loss, starting defensive tackle David Jacobs to a stroke.
The defensive line is left with very little depth, but still the plan is to have another week of physical practices.
“That is a tough thing in making that decision,’’ VanGorder said. “That tempo issue is so important, you don’t want to lose that edge.’’
Good lord, I’m not particularly into bashing Willie (or at least I wasn’t), but that article is damning. Considering how we use to speak about our D coordinator, Willie’s tenure has definitely been a disappointment.
Great post, Senator. I woke up on Sunday not sure what I thought about that disaster. I finished your post pretty darn certain about it.
The Richt reaction caught me off guard, primarily because he’s ended the last two seasons with a defining narrative about leadership and team chemistry. In 2007, he says he righted the ship when he realized that the seniors weren’t leading, the team was adrift, and he had to do something to create fun and focus. Hence, the Celebration, the Blackout, and a #2 ranking.
In 2008, we spent the offseason committed to the meme that last year’s team was too complacent, that they waited for one of the future draft picks to bail them out. Richt led us all to believe that this line of thinking wasn’t too far wrong, and that this offseason was mostly about getting back to working hard, playing as a team, and not waiting for someone else to make a play.
Now here we are again – a team in disarray, a locker room in the dumps, and a coaching staff looking for a magic bullet. Richt may very well find a way to pull it together and get us to a bowl game. But even that won’t change the fact that we’ll have had three straight years (and possibly four, if you count the multi-QB, lost half-season of 2006) where our teams are total headcases needing psychological (and strategic) interventions to maintain the level of success Georgia fans have come to expect from the Richt Era.
Like you, Senator, I remember the days when I didn’t worry about whether we were ready to play. Even when things didn’t go well, it was because of good play by the other team, or a known chink in our armor. But beginning with the trend in 2007 of sleepwalking through entire halves, and continuing through yesterday, we’ve completely lost that most important characteristic of a big-time program: reliability. No temporary patch imposed by Richt for this season will restore it — only time, stability, and success can do that. Without it, we’re a program in decline.
I think there’s a bit of revisionism going on with UGA fans thinking UGA was unbeatable the first half of Richt’s tenure. I’ve read some variation of this “I remember when I didn’t worry about…” thing in several places now.
UGA has only had one 7-1 SEC season under Richt. And it came with several very close calls (including a game-ending goalline fumble, a last minute field goal, and a virtual Hail Mary on 4th and a lot). It also came in one of the weakest SECs in the past couple decades, thanks largely to Florida being in the tank.
The other early Richt years were no better than 6-2. And in two UGA got very good breaks (in addition to Florida still being in the tank) to get into the SECC game… breaks it didn’t get in its 6-2 seasons in 2007 and 2008.
Texas_Dawg, I don’t disagree about the revisionism. My concern isn’t that we lose – it’s HOW we’re losing. During the first 5 years of Richt’s tenure, I don’t recall his teams having the problem that has been in evidence of late – that they disappear for entire halves, or in the case of yesterday, entire games. We may not have played our best in every contest, but we didn’t just s**t the bed as we have lately.
For the first three years of Richt’s tenure, we only lost one game by more than one score — Florida in 2001, 24-10. We didn’t lose again by more than one score until we lost to the undefeated 2004 Auburn team 24-6. We didn’t lose by more than one score after that until … 2006, when we lost to Tennessee 51-33. Since then, we’ve lost five games by more than one score: Tennessee 2007, Alabama 2008, Florida 2008, OK State 2009, Tennessee 2009.
That doesn’t even take into account our team’s recent penchant for getting into high-scoring contests. From 2001 to 2006, the Dawgs averaged one game a year where the opponent scored more than 28 points. From 2007 to the present, they are averaging four per season (3 in 2007, 5 in 2008, 3 so far in 2009).
I agree that we weren’t perfect in the early years, but we knew who we were — a team that didn’t beat itself, ran the ball well, and played very-good-to-great defense. When we lost, it was usually in a squeaker. That’s not the case anymore, and things seemed to change in a fundamental way somewhere around 2006-07.
I don’t really get into margin-of-victory.
I look at Ws and Ls over full seasons, and the 2007/2008 teams were 6-2 SEC teams in a stronger SEC than the 2003/2004/2005 6-2 SEC teams played in.
Part of the problem here is that UGA fans got huge expectations after a very fast start by Richt. So the more recent 6-2s feel less impressive and rewarding… even though they were arguably tougher accomplishments (that didn’t get the benefits of Florida going in the tank or the luck of the draw in the division tie (as 2003 did)).
Even if it’s true that the SEC of 2007-09 was stronger than the SEC of 2003-05, I think most people would say that our talent level kept up with that. Aside from the O-line, which was decimated in 2007 due to recruiting issues beyond comprehension, I can’t think of a single position where, on paper, Georgia was supposed to have taken a step back.
So taking your perspective, are you saying that Georgia’s success in the early part of the decade is less-impressive than Florida and LSU’s at the end of it? And should Georgia fans just get used to being 5-3 in the East, going to the Outback Bowl, because everyone else has caught up?
Like you, I’m not in the “fire Richt” camp. But if it’s true that the rest of the league just “caught up,” that catching up seems mostly to have involved other programs hiring new coaches, who then beat our coaches (or at least our teams). If this was basketball, it would mean it was time to get a new coach. This isn’t basketball, and I think the answer is more nuanced. But I don’t think it just comes down to saying that Georgia fans were irrationally exuberant about their program in the early part of this decade.
I think we took advantage of some good breaks and a down time for Florida and others in the SEC.
That said, the 2002 team was good enough to win even in today’s SEC and got a terrible break in having 2 other undefeated BCS conference teams.
Florida has had a run, based mainly off a 2006 class that is done after this year, that is one of the best in CFB history. We just got a bad break that it happened at the same time we had some of our best players come through the program (and additionally had a ridiculous run of injuries gut the best opportunity with that group). But fortunately, such a run isn’t permanently sustainable. Yes, Florida will still be very good as long as Meyer is there… but it will be a little more beatable once Tebow and Spikes are gone (the offense has already taken a big step back with the loss of Harvin… it’s the 11 starters returning defense that is carrying them this year).
I’m not worried about Mark Richt. He is among a select few (out of thousands who have tried) at the top of the list of men who have tried their hand at coaching CFB players over the last 2 decades. And he still badly wants to win, and the recruiting pipeline continues to be as strong as ever.
We came 5 more yards by Kentucky in 2007 (at the end of their game with UT) from playing a very inexperienced Ryan Perrilloux in the Georgia Dome in what would have been the de facto MNC game. Those 5 yards and this year’s rebuilding year is treated for what it is with hopes of more good things to come in the future, with all of this Richt doubting permanently erased.
5 yards may often be the difference in a lot of frustration or not in CFB… but it isn’t the difference in Mark Richt knowing how to coach CFB or not.
Don’t forget about the missed Vandy field goal at the end of the 2007 UT-Vandy game. If that goes through UGA is in the SECC game, too. Plain old bad luck.
TexasDawg are you Mark Richt in disguise?
No. Why?
God forbid anyone point out that a coach who has put UGA in the top 10 6 of his 9 seasons doesn’t completely suck as a coach…
Unreal.
Urban helped ’05 Georgia by epic choking in Columbia…but know what? DJ Shockley got hurt. I say it evens out.
That team still had to win the SECCG. Which they did. By a lot.
I know, but we still got into that game as a 6-2 team. Without the rest of the division being 6-2 or worse, we don’t get the chance.
If the division (i.e. Tennessee) had done the same in 2007 as it did in 2005 (and 2003), we’d have won the MNC and all these conversations about Richt would be permanently ended. (Ask Mack Brown.) Unfortunately it didn’t. But that’s just the luck of the draw in CFB… not some indictment of Richt’s coaching abilities.
Concerning Mack Brown- That 2005 team was the only time he’s ever won the Big 12. Ever.
The problem is the questions about Richt aren’t “when should we fire him?” but “when will he man up and do what needs to be done?”
In other words, unlike Mac Brown who does a good job of getting the top talent at Coordinator positions (specifically D), Richt is willing to sink or float with what he’s got currently. Now, if firing Willie means giving Rodney Garner a shot, fine. I’m alright with that happening, since Garner is so obviously important to our recruiting, but I do not want it to dictate how we’re going to play forever. If Garner can’t get it done in a couple years coordinating, then he’s not worth his salt (look at Coach O at Ole Miss). BUT DO SOMETHING. Don’t play your oboe as the Titanic sinks around you if you can make it into the lifeboats!
Here’s where things stand to me:
To fill air time during the massacre, one of the two announcers made a comment I think after Tennessee got 45 that Tennessee had not scored that many points on Georgia since 2006 when they scored 51 against Georgia.
It’s 2009. Three years ago they scored 51 on us. That year Tennessee lost to Florida, LSU, Arkansas and Penn State.
This is Tennessee. It’s not like it’s Florida who everybody rightfully expects will beat Georgia. Florida is the better program. This is Tennessee, the dysfunctional program that ran off its coach last year.
Then I read a comment from Lane to the effect that he told his players he never wanted Tennessee to lose to Georgia because, among other things, he needed to recruit the state of Georgia. This is Lane. It’s not Knute Rockne. Lane Kiffin.
So not only do we make opposing QB’s look like Heisman candidates, we make Lane look like Mack Brown.
And as someone mentioned above or elsewhere, how can Richt look so calm on the sidelines during the beating. Had I been him, I would have been trying to kill something. But I guess that’s why they don’t let people with explosive temper disorders coach.
That’s you.
Tom Landry, Bill Walsh, Bear Bryant, and a long line of other great football coaches have had similar demeanors on the sideline. Not sure why people are so into this. The coach freaking out and acting like a child doesn’t really do much for me. Certainly doesn’t change the scoreboard.
Totally agree. It’s a comfort that our coach is reliably classy. Not only does it help in recruiting, but it rubs off on players and speaks highly of our program and our school.
Yeah, I don’t give a crap about Richt’s demeanor.
Everyone said Tony Dungy was too nice. They won a super bowl and built a dynasty.
I care about wins and losses, and our team showing up for games being fully competitive and delivering up to their talent.
I also care about coaches being held ACCOUNTABLE for their failures.
And for god sakes, stop throwing players under the bus.

Ugh. How embarassing:
FRONT PAGE of rivals.com:
“Georgia coach Mark Richt should be safe, but that doesn’t mean changes aren’t coming in Athens. The Bulldogs’ struggles continued in a blowout loss to Tennessee, and it could spell trouble for some on Richt’s staff. Get the scoop on that and much more as we find out what our Rivals.com experts learned in Week 6.”
I saw that as well, Muckbeast, but for those who want Martinez (and/or others) gone, that is a good sign.
CFB coaches aren’t usually fired when it’s only the fanbase saying the firings should happen. They are fired when outside, impartial and rational CFB observers are widely suggesting the firings as well.
As bad as the defense was last year, or has been in other games even before that, there have not been outside CFB observers from reputable organizations or publications saying Willie Martinez should be fired. They are starting to say that now though…
That makes Richt’s job somewhat easier should he decide to make a move. And it also raises the possibility that Martinez just makes the move himself.
Martinez, sensing the heat coming down on his good friend and boss, offers to take a demotion back to DBs coach.
UGA brings in Tuberville as DC.
No. Freaking. Chance.
Tubs wants a head coaching job, as he’s said on numerous occasions. No way he coaches D for Richt. Maybe for the Bear if he returned from the Crypt, but not for Richt. Good friend and all, he didn’t go down in flames so bad that he needs a coordinating job to get his name back out in the market. Now, Larry Coker a couple of years ago should have angled for an offensive coordinating job, and he would’ve done better than that D-III team he’s coaching now.
Not likely of course, but does he really want to move to the obscurity of coaching in, say, Arizona? Really? I mean, yeah, sure… we all want to be the boss… but at what cost? Half empty stadiums and 11PM ET kickoffs on Fox Sports Pacific… for years? Fonk that.
Take the DC job, flip the tables on UF and Bama in recruiting and the field, win the SECC/MNC, have a lot of fun for a few years doing it, and then jump to the first major program HC opening available.
This is a sale that could be made.
a former redcoat
that would be absolutely beautiful, wouldn’t it?
honestly if we threw about a million and a half in with that sales pitch (and why not “associate head coach” to go with the DC job), maybe we get tubbs. fire bobo and let coach richt take over QBs and OC again. ya gotta question bobo’s abilities as a QB coach since he’s had cox all to himself for a while (i know richt worked with stafford… but since he wasn’t officially the QB coach any more, maybe he didn’t pay any real attention to cox) and cox makes some pretty bad decisions, can’t look off defenders, etc. honestly, best deal is fire bobo, do ANYTHING for the offense and find a great DC. we definitely have the money, the fans, and the players to attract one. plus we could always point out how many YEARS of poor coaching you can get by with before you have a chance to actually lose your job
Dude, Richt was HORRIBLE as OC. Total revisionist history going on here. Go check out our production against the other “Big 6” in the SEC when Richt was OC. It was as bad as, or worse, than Bobo.
might want to re-read my post there. never said he was a great OC here. he was a great OC at FSU though and it’s hard to say he’d be worse than bobo is right now. but, no revisionist history. maybe you just didn’t read what i wrote in the first place…
but, remember that we managed to score 10 points against florida last year and get shut out in the first half against bama with stafford, moreno, massaquoi, and AJ green all on the roster. that’s gotta fall on bobo.
my point was more that richt would be better than bobo and it would be worth doing that if it made it possible to get an incredible DC.
It’s really tough to be head coach and OC at the same time. very few have been able to pull that off long term and be successful. Richt needs an OC rather than to do it himself.
Tubs is going to be at the top of a lot of team’s lists for HC *this* year. He won’t need a DC job to find it. He’s not Tommy Bowden or anything…
Amazing did no one watch this game ?UGA rushed for nothing that counted(could not gain 1 yd on 3rd and short). Remember when CJD hired the bozo from ut ? Can’t anyone else see CSS is that same guy ? It looks like he talks to players , same as the media. Wake up , you must run the fb in sec or at least appear you can).CMB is not ready for this league as oc.
CMR doesnt need to go…yet..but theres something systemic that needs fixing and if CMR has a flaw it’s loyalty to the point of stupidity (Tereshinski ?)
I’ll also say this. And its not directed at any one individual here or anywhere else but is more directed at the vibe I’m getting from a lot of people I know in many areas of the world, work and friends, people online and off:
If nothing else we’re thinning out the fan heard. Take your fair weather and shove it up your ass. You want a team thats easy to root for? Go buy some jorts…but go on and sell all your early 90s FSU memorabilia on ebay as one wouldnt want to be too much of a hippocrate.
Your reward for loyalty is upgraded season tix.
And remember ye this, the year isnt shot although plenty of people act like it is. As someone who’s been a die hard falcon’s fan his whole life (Suwanee native, so the falcon inn kinda helped things along); I’d like to remind people that it could be much much worse.
Enjoy the rest of the season….
Brady Ackerman of “Talkin’ Football” on CSS made the following comment on this week’s show about what happened to UGA this season: “Georgia really needed to open up with a couple of cupcakes to get into their offense and defense. They couldn’t because the schedule was too tough.” This is why top programs open up at home with a walkover team before they start playing their regular schedule. It gives the new players a chance to get game experience and gives the coaches a chance to evaluate players in a real game to see what they have and make necessary adjustments. It also builds confidence for the young players. Suppose instead of going to Stillwater and being cannonfodder for the grand re-opening of T. Boone Pickens’ $300 Million playground (with his name on it) the Dawgs had opened up between the hedges with a Western Carolina-type team. Maybe they get some of the bugs out. They certainly don’t lose the first game. Maybe they are covering kicks better and tackling better at the end of the LSU game and LSU doesn’t score and they win that game and are 5-0 going to UT. Even if Willie and Bobo do get outschemed and the Dawgs lose they are only 5-1 (or at worst 4-2). Think about it. There is a reason why Florida opened up with 2 walkover teams back to back. That’s why Florida is Florida. Not because they have better athletes. They don’t make bonehead decisions.

The denial is always worse than the cover up. →
Game day thoughts, Georgia-Ole Miss edition
Okay, it’s go time. A few seasonal stats for your perusal:
For Georgia’s defense, it’s déjà vu all over again. Missouri and Mississippi are one and two in the conference in offensive pass yardage. Missouri and Mississippi are the SEC’s twelfth and thirteenth ranked teams in offensive rushing yardage. These are both pass first and ask questions later offenses. Missouri got off to a quick start last week throwing the ball all over creation and it’s reasonable to expect Ole Miss to do the same. How Georgia deploys its safeties in the first half could be a big deal; Lock had a much rougher go of things after Tucker gave Briscoe safety help on his side of the field in the game’s second half.
Yeah, it would be nice indeed if Georgia’s defense racked up a few sacks today. They’re next to last in the SEC in that department. What I’m really curious to see, though, is how the inside linebackers hold up. Between Kelly’s threat to run and Evan Engram, they’ll really be challenged.
One thing’s pretty certain: if either team gets in the red zone, look for a score. The Rebels defense is 14 of 14 there; Georgia isn’t doing much better at nine of ten. (It’s worth noting that Ole Miss’ offense is a little better at converting than Georgia’s.)
For Georgia’s offense, at first glance, things look tougher this week, as Mississippi is fourth in the SEC in defensive passing yards, compared to Missouri at thirteenth. But when you scratch the surface and look at defensive passer rating, it’s a different story: Missouri is fourth and Ole Miss is twelfth. Ole Miss is the only team in the conference without an interception. Neither team’s run defense has been stellar so far, although Mississippi’s has had it tougher. That being said, Missouri did pretty well loading the box last week. It’s not unreasonable to expect Ole Miss to come out the same way. Chaney and Eason have to make them pay for that, or it’s gonna be a long day.
In other words, expect this game to look a lot like last week’s, with one big difference. Ole Miss’ offense has a lot more experience in its offensive system than Missouri’s did. It’s hard to see how Georgia’s defense doesn’t face some of the same struggles it had in the first half in Columbia. If we can expect the Rebels’ defense to sell out against Chubb and Company, is it reasonable to think Georgia’s defense makes a similar decision with regard to Kelly?
You’ll notice one thing I haven’t mentioned is special teams. If I don’t mention them in tomorrow’s Observations post, it will have been a good day. Unfortunately, I expect them to merit a bullet point or two.
I wrote yesterday that I don’t have a good feeling about this game. I don’t think Georgia is going to be able to maintain the time of possession advantage that’s help power it through its three wins and without doing so, I think Ole Miss, with its more dynamic offense, wins and covers. Call it a ten-point difference. Sure hope I’m wrong.
Consider this your game day comment thread home.

I don’t understand all the angst. This is Old Missy. Nothing to see here. Dawgs win, as usual. Let’s look ahead to UT.
Hey, that worked against Nicholls. Barely.
But we did win, amirite?! Look, the staff knows they have to get Chubb going in this one. He’ll have 55 touches if necessary. The upgrade to our coaching staff is on D who know OM well. Take the crowd out early and Eason will be fine. Early stops on D and first score by Dawgs and OM will lay down.
Surprise star of the game…Reggie Davis who has been open deep but underthrown. I expect Chaney sees some misdirection with IMac that will get Davis in single coverage with no safety help for our first TD.
“I’ve got a feeling about this.” /wagging finger.
As my mom used to say, from your lips to Gawd’s ear.
…or we get stomped. Sighhhhhhhhhhh……
Are you watching the game???
From OC to dreadlock Jones in the defensive backfield…we look like ASS
You just pissed off ASS
By the way, reports are that Brice Ramsey didn’t make the trip. PAWWWLLL, who’s the back up punter?
Biggest thing I’m looking for is a general question on offense.
Will we see some significant wrinkles in our offense to throw Ole Miss off and especially to give Chubb some room to work? Or is Smart’s/Cheney’s plan just to show what’s already been done and count on us being more physical and executing better?
Man, Ramsey must be an interesting kid to coach.
He is hurt.
I don’t think Dolly meant it as mean as it sounded. 😉
I took an extra dose of Glucosamine sulphate this morning…I expect to spend a lot of time on my knees.
Because, yes, Aus, it IS ole Missy.
This may be the most important game in the history of Georgia history.
Hang on to yer hats.
Bah. The Ole Miss ship gonna get sunk in the wake of the turning battleship.
It’s too quiet in here.
If CMR was our coach no way we win today….
Sure, and Kirby is gonna make Georgia great again…aight?
RIght on the money. The halftime score is proof we will win a NC soon.
Hunker down!
Pretty good defensive series down there…hard to get to the keyboard from this position.
fooled him.
That was a freshman mistake.
Need to quit the damn false starts.
Going to be long 3.5 hours
Stay calm and Chubb…
we’re starting to move em a little.
We are but that 3rd down call was atrocious.
Again the 3rd down fall is awful.
Dont you dare quit on them Goddammit!!!
I’ll quit when I die. Until then all Dawg!!! 24/7/365.25
I’ll never quit on em’, but what we are seeing today is piss poor management of a top tier program by an administration that was given the benefit of the doubt for far too long.
I hope those that put us here lose every fucking game they ever play,that includes Georgia tech and whatever the Colorado equivalent of that is and fuck you karma Bitchez.
Eason is a gamer, they are out classed and playing with heart. I may drive to Athens tomorrow and buy a Kirby Smart jersey even if I have to have it custom made.
Peace brothers, I’m out.
Lines of scrimmage.
We can not run block. We can not rush the passer. We are toast.
I’m sticking with 8-4. Not changing my mind, no sir.
Just turned the game on and you guys are down 17-0.
Based on what I’ve seen this year, you’ve got ’em right where you want ’em.
I expect UGA to hammer UM in the second half.
You’re very generous..but I ain’t holding my breath.
Totally dominated in 1st qtr. Unable to convert 3rd and short woes continue.
Fire Bobo
Smart called Nicky for advice. “Let’em get a big lead, then they’ll fold.”
Then Nicky laughed after he hung up. “That’s for Maurice, kid”.
Also good to see the D arm flapping again. Sort of missed that.
That’s a pretty good tournament they got going on at East Lake. There’s so many commercials during this game I’m catching a lot of golf..
That, and the game isn’t that good.
Chaney needs to quit trying to be cute. We start leaning on them and we start chucking it again instead. Punch them in the mouth and get back in this.
Cute is all he has. We have no running game.
I saw running game on the last drive. We started moving moving them.
We are 3-8 field goals…jesus How can this fucking be?
3 and 5 with no kicker in scoring territory and we throw? WTF!!!
May as well forget FG’s. Inside opponents 40 is 4 down territory, on the upside Blankenship had good form.
lostdawg3
Gawd do we need a kicker! Lord have mercy on the Dawgs right now!!
I don’t think we ought to attempt another field goal all season.
Glad to see the days of not showing up for important games are gone. And who needs a scholarship kicker anyway.
Eason 3-10
With a pick 6.
Best D he has seen to date and of course no OL
Oh well. Wait until next year…to try a FG.
Eason seems to be overthrowing. Too high and/or too hard.
Off his back foot because rushers are in his face.
a 35 yard punt.
Wasted possession. If we’re gonna chuck n duck throw it long. Please
I wish I could say I am shocked.
Yep want and expect to win but not the least bit shocked
if that’s the kinda day it’s going to be
Welp, I’m outta here. Might as well enjoyed the nice day outside.
This is worse than FSU’s performance st Louisville.
A LOT worse.
Oh boy. This could get ugly. Buckle up.
Could?!
We need new coaches.
That wedding is looking better and better.
Hillbilly Dawg
Ironically, I am at a wedding in Cornelia. Watching this fluster cluck on a 20″ motel room TV and contemplating cracking open this bottle of Buffalo Trace now.
Briscoe gets beat once again and 7 can’t tackle with a wide open chance for a sack. Guess that cost him a cool million on his contract
This has been coming for three games. We have so many problems its almost laughable.
There’s the deep throw I was worried about. So far this is pretty much the definition of us failing in every facet of the game. Let’s see if we can regroup and make a game of it.
Not today I am afraid. Hope I eat those words later but with those big Ole Miss wr’s and getting whipped on both los’s not going to happen.
Athens has a very good Harley dealer. 😀
Punter has the longest completion of the game
D as in Dawg
Here’s where we stand. We are as good as a very good mid major team. Weaker than decent opponents in almost every aspect of the game. Way overachieving at 3-0. Light years from being competitive in big games.
3 perfect throws. 3 drops. Pitiful….
Two of which would have scored.
RedHotChiliDawg
How the fuck do we drop three passes in a row!
Some days are just like this. At halftime, this team will have to ask themselves, “is this who we are?”. Young team. young QB and the roof caving in. The faked punt might help. Oh well, dropped TD pass.
Just dropped 3rd and 8. Just dropped another one. Imac is trying to catch the ball with his body instead of his hands..the ball he caught to beat Mizzo was with his body and he was lucky to hang on to it. A receiver coach should not let a player use his body first to catch the ball. Gotta use those hands.
SONS OF BITCHES! CATCH THE MF FOOTBALL.
I’ve never, ever seen worse receiving.
Nice really nice. We’ll see if we keep fighting here. Show some character guys!
The wide receiver coach sucks.
He needs to tell them to catch it right? Cause coachin’.
Your right the whole receiving corp sucks.
We do miss Ball and BMac.
Ok…here is where we score a quick 21 before the half….
It is imperative that McElroy quit saying “imperative”.
A sack would of been nice instead we start at the 3
Two sweeps, two big gains. This is not rocket science.
Came into today not expecting a win, which is fine. Even imagined it could get ugly, which is has. The only thing worth watching for the rest of the day is what halftime adjustments are made, what type of fire is brought, who asks themselves if they’re going to finish of the 60 minutes. I mean really, what else do we have to look for in the 2H?
Well, we COULD make a field goal.
i thought about that. even texted a friend saying we could work on our kicking game perhaps but..
no. no i don’t think so.
Chubb just tweaked something.
ankle I think
Left ankle or foot
Looks like an ankle for Chubb and looked pretty painful.
My god……. I didn’t expect us to win this game, but this is already looking far worse and far uglier than I feared. 😦
Still don’t understand how Long got the punting job over Ramsey.
Long is more accurate throwing the football.
Read that Ramsey is hurt. Good to see the fake worked without him.
Let’s just work on blocking for the rest of the game. We can’t even seem to get players into blocking lanes.
‘Tis a Charley Foxtrot. We’ve left at least 10 to 17 points on the field, though.
Possibly the worst 1st half of UGA football in history.
counterpoint. bama 08
retracted
Maybe. That one was at home, which hurt..but this looks particularly disturbing.
It was 31-0 at the half that game too. If we can get the same final of 41-30, I would take it.
No way this offense scores 30 in one half
Almost feels like no way they can score 30 in a game … Oh, yeah, they haven’t done it the last 2 games including one against a bad FCS opponent.
I thought Nickels was the worst have seen in 50 years of watching Ga football.
and…they get the ball to start the second half.
Will we able to kick into the the end zone?
the way it’s going, this will likely be our only shot
If CMR were the coach it would be 62-0.
(Sorry. Had to do it.)
You beat me to it.
Nah…I doubt we would be that far ahead. (Sorry. Had to do it.)
Oh well. I have yard work to do.
And I have moonshine to drink
31-0 we got em just where we want em 🙂
Long for QB!!!! He’s 1/1 for 35 or so yards.
Shameful. Just shameful.
At least we expected this
I expected to lose, not be completely uncompetitive
really. I was sure we were done looking like we were totally unprepared for a big game. We look like a bunch of guys who never saw a football before.
Dude, we were closer to ole miss record of 1-2 than 3-0. How could you not see this coming?
Well, most of us did. Pretty sure Derek predicted an upset. Because, apparently, he didn’t see the first three games.
I did….. Dropped passes, shitty 3rd down calls, sprained ankle oh my.
This looks like a pickup game between a college and a high school.
Wayne the
Man! That was a great little princess birthday party! What’d I miss?
Was this the lay an egg look totally unprepared complete no show? It’s the Georgia way!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sad to say, our boys look ready to pack it in.
We actually are this bad.
I think I’ll go play in a tennis tournament. I’m glad I didn’t fork out $95 for this……………….Ugh!
Glad I sold my tickets to my neighbor 🙂
Your neighbor will be blowing his leaves in your yard for a while now.
That’s awesome. We continue to be a laughing stock. Our receivers and db’s are as bad as I’ve ever seen. Ever! I’ve defended Chaney but I’m starting to think he’s an idiot. OL new verse, same as the first. I don’t see how this can be repaired.
Oh it can be repaired just 2-3 years of recruiting the right players and maybe in year 4 we may win the East.
That’s what it would take … unless we went after a mini-Saban and got a Mus°##%#mp. God forbid.
What was that old complaint about not being able to beat a good team. Kirby hasn’t got Bama guys anymore and we won’t have them for at least two more years. Enjoy the 2nd half wish I could still drink.
Now Chubb is probably out for Tennessee
How would you compare this to the Bama ’08 first half? Worse? Better? Same? There’s a lot of variables that are different from one to the next, obviously.
About the same, in my opinion. Except for this one difference: Bama ’08 was a surprise. This is not.
Worse. Bama was a national championship team, not a team that was under .500 after blowing two massive leads. This OM team is decent, not a championship caliber team. Prior to today, couldn’t run the ball. Couldn’t stop the run. Turned it over like crazy. If you saw their first half today, they look like world beaters…but they aren’t. They will be lucky to finish 3rd in the west.
But 3rd in the West would still win the East by a long shot. Ole Miss may not contend for a national title, but they’re a lot better than people are inclined to give them credit for.
Don’t bother explaining that Turd. Its time for all of the shouldn’t have fired Richt guys to beat their chest about how Kirby is such a massive failure after 4 games.
That explanation is irrelevant to whether Alabama was better or worse than Ole Miss 2016.
It’s not who got fired. It’s who we have, and what we were told he would bring to the table. As in: Not this kind of woeful, completely outclassed performance
That wasn’t 81’s point. The comparison was between Ole Miss 2016 and Alabama 2008. Might as well respond by saying the 2015 Golden State Warriors would be second to the 1972 Lakers.
Not worse. You can’t judge the game on what Alabama had and ignore our team. In 2008, we had Stafford, Green, and Moreno. We had way more talent on the OL, as well. So sure, Ole Miss isn’t as good as Alabama ’08, but we had a hell of a lot more talent then than we do now. So yeah, this loss is not worse than the blackout funeral.
About the same, all things considered. We were preseason no. 1 in ’08 and had serious national-championship aspirations going into the Bama game, so the disappointment was greater in that game, especially since we were at home.
However, that Bama team was a lot better than this Ole Miss team, and we look shockingly uncompetitive.
I’d say Bama ’08 was worse. Our team started the year #1, had the #1 overall draft pick in his junior year, played at home in a night game in an intense environment, and Saban Bama wasn’t quite the machine it is today.
That Georgia team was a helluva lot more talented than this Georgia team.
This^^^
I honestly do not understand how anyone thought something different was going to happen today. If you’d paid any attention during the first 3 games, you could see this coming from a mile away.
We’re a good football team … everywhere except where it matters most: at the line of scrimmage. So we’ll eek out wins against mediocre teams, and lose handily to anyone even remotely competent.
And don’t look now, but we may have just lost Chubb for a little while. Hope everyone’s looking forward to basketball season.
Well there is always Douglas because I don’t see Holyfield playing
Holyfield played as well as Herrien. Our RBs were a bright spot today.
We are not good at receiver or DB. Not even close. Otherwise, right on.
In terms of talent, those groups really aren’t that bad. Especially when you throw in this ridiculous group of TEs. We shouldn’t have any trouble passing the ball. But they can’t get any separation, which I attribute more to coaching than anything else. And Eason’s only got about a half-second to throw the ball because of our shit-stain of an OL. With a great OL, I don’t think anyone would be complaining about our receivers. We need more size, sure, but Godwin was a 5-star, and McKenzie and Davis were both highly recruited 4-stars.
And our DB group isn’t bad either. Sanders, Parrish, Davis, and Smith have all played very well. And let’s not forget that Sanders, Parrish, and Davis were all part of the best passing defense in the SEC last year. But here, too, they’ve looked worse than they really are because our DL has yet to get any pressure on an opposing QB. Even the best DB group in the country will look mediocre when they’ve got to defend for 5+ seconds every single play. Lorenzo Carter is one of the biggest disappointments in recent memory.
Good points. But Ole Miss receivers look head and shoulders and another man on his shoulders above ours. Briscoe is getting abused and perhaps that’s skewing my take. Up front is where it all begins and we are late for the party.
There is nothing wrong with our talent–I don’t care what any of the TV talking heads say. It’s bad coaching that is the problem.
I think a lot of people expected our clear shortcomings to get fully exposed today. Personally, i was hoping that one of those shortcomings would have a good day, like the run blocking…
Either way, i think most reasonable fans were waiting for the other shoe to drop. it’s just disappointing that it’s happening in such an exaggerated fashion.
Turd, I disagree. We are bad in the kicking game, we lack separation receivers, in addition to the LOS problems. Plus it is obvious to me we are still dealing with the new staff and new system, etc.
I am hard pressed to say this is a good football team.
I’ll give you that the kicking game is garbage. But on offense and defense, we’re actually a very talented football team.
We’ve got more talent at TE than just about any team in the country. Our receivers aren’t getting any separation (which I attribute more to coaching), and we could use a little more size at that position. But Godwin was a 5-star, and McKenzie and Davis were both highly recruited 4-stars. Of course, we’ve got loads of talent at RB as well. And he may be a freshman, but Eason’s got all the potential in the world. So I’m not saying we’re great, but we are a good team on offense … just not on the offensive line. This offensive line is the worst I’ve seen in a long, long time.
We had one of the best defenses in the SEC last season, and the #1 passing defense in the conference. The secondary is good. Again, not great, but certainly good. But as I explain above, they’ve looked worse than they really are because the DL isn’t putting any pressure whatsoever on opposing QBs.
If we were better on either side of the line, we’d immediately be better everywhere else.
This. No defensive backfield can hold up when there is zero pressure on QB. Do we even have a sack as a team this year? Honest question.
The #1 Pass Defense in the nation is why we have the phrase, “Lies, Damn Lies, and Statistics”. Our pass defense was not great last year. I have written about this several times. Georgia Southern and tech are triple-option teams. Auburn is basically an option team. USCe, Mizzou, Vandy, and Kentucky were horrible offenses. Florida had lost their QB by the time they played us.
The best passing team we played was Bama at #62. Number 2 was Kentucky at #79. We played 5 of the bottom 20 passing teams. Look at our opponents offensive numbers. Last years secondary, like this years, was above average but not great.
Ok, we’re going to play this silly game of “proving our manhood” by shoving Chubb into the line until it works. Had a feeling Davis could be the key WR, but Eason has no time to set and throw. Mental mistakes everywhere, so feel free to blame that on ( insert coach’s name here ). The D looks as lost as ever. Somebody get Briscoe a Southwest Airlines ticket…”Wanna get away?” Rodrigo should give his eyewear to Hamm..maybe that will work.
Please, for f’s sake, treat the 2nd half as a new game. Work on things that need help and don’t get Eason killed or Chubb banged up. Find out who is buying in to the process. Come away with something. No reason at all to let this be our first steps of wandering into the desert.
Where’s the wedding? Open bar??
“Georgia has to get to the 15 to be in field goal range”.
Now the TV guys are getting in on the fun.
thats generous. didn’t we miss a 23 yarder last week?
The frustrating thing is that we had two chances to get into this. On one the play calling on 3rd down was awful. The second 16 and 2 went all butterfingers.
7 needs to finish on Kelly btw.
im not sure any one or two plays really would have changed the outcome of this half. i think it was predestined for us to get beat down, even if we did make some catches or tackles. this was and is going to happen
Ok. I’m going to say that getting to 17-7 changes things but you have whatever reality you want.
we’re getting beat on both lines. burned at corner. zero kicking game. can’t make the open tackles on CK. you get it to 17-7 and those impurities are still there and sink us throughout the rest of the game.
Like I said earlier. I thought at 17-0 we started to open up the running game and then they put Chubb at FB and on another third down tried to throw instead of trying to make it 4th and short.
Then we decided not to catch the ball at 24-0. I think TDs in either spot helps.
agreed. helps. but doesn’t alter this game.
In infinite parallel realities with infinite variations of outcomes on plays this game is getting played out and we’re still losing 99% of them
Calm down Derek. He wasn’t insulting you.
At my bac level I can do whatever I want!!!!
heh. i don’t disagree with that general sentiment of a few plays here and there could alter the game cadence and momentum and who knows from there – i just disagree with that today. i don’t think there’s anything we’re doing right with the sole exceptions of executing a fake punt and that one drive where we got the run game going. so what are we supposed to do? feed the rock down 17? down 24? down 31? down 38?… fake punts on first down?
7 has blown his chances today along with a couple of million on his contract
The first chance we had to be in this game came to an end the first week in December when The J. Reid Parker Director of Athletics refused tomloomfor an experienced head coach.
“to look for”
Carter is turning into a colossal disappointment. I guess he was taking advantage of Floyd and Jenkins.
Nowhere to go but up or out for these coaches and players. Play the second half with class.
TOUCHBACK!!!
They are who we thought they were.
Nice, lol
Talk about o linemen being downfield on a throw….I thought they were going to call it this year.
Second half is on and our colander of a defense is on the field.
Briscoe needs to sit the rest of the game
Whatever we are, we’re clearly not a team yet. Coaches or players.The cupboard wasn’t THIS bare.
Good God he kicked it 46 yards…..
I think its time to get online and buy something. Retail therapy.
Chaney is a terrible OC.
Hard to single out anyone. Everyone seems terrible at the moment. Hard to believe we don’t have a single O-lineman capable of executing a block.
I need to learn to listen when the Senator says he had a bad feeling about a game.
Now it’s just a matter of whether Hugh wants to embarrass us totally. I doubt we score given our kicking.
Hugh is going to get all he can because the lights are going out when the NCAA finishes with them. He’ll want a good resume when he flees Oxford for another school.
More than discouraging, just looks like we were clueless today as to what Miss would do on both sides of ball.
Lemme see, I am sure recruiting is going great….we got how many commits?
Maybe Richt wasn’t the problem, and maybe Kirby isn’t the answer. But that’s far too incendiary for this blog, so let’s be cool and just shift the topic to something that won’t create so much vitriol.
How about “A vote for Trump is worth it just to piss off liberals.”?
would it be fair to say it’s too early to make that call? at what point can we make that call? honest question.
It serves no purpose to look backwards. The question is now whether Kirby can diagnose the problems and be given the resources to correct them. That’s 2 – 3 seasons at a minimum.
Our Bowl team v Penn State looked better and our offense had more creativity
I guess we can safely say now we’re playing for next year. I said two weeks ago was either an aberration or the canary in the coal mine. Today officially gave us the answer. Other than possibly ULL, I don’t see a sure win left on the schedule and that includes USCe, UK and Vandy. The tech game may be a pillow fight for the Governor’s Cup.
12 players on field the second time. Guess that was Mark Richt’s fault.
I’ve never seen people take such pride in being right about how bad we are. The Georgia Way is alive and well
The pride is in your mind…nowhere else.
Remember what you said about FSU and Louisville?…that’s what we are looking at.
Well Hugh has spoken the humiliation will continue.
Hugh needs to make himself look great…He’s gone from OMs when the NCAA finishes with them.
I guess this may be the year to take my young grandkids on their first visit to Athens. Anybody want to sell four home tickets for a good cause and avoid some heartache?
It’s just bad. There is really not much else to be said. Everyone shares in the responsibility. But I must add that Chaney is an idiot. We are screwed with him running the O. I really believe that.
It figures he would get smart and run the ball when I said that. Of course, I doubt it’s Ole Miss 1st team out there.
Your are a fucking dope.
And you’re 13.
We just caught a pass!!! We just caught a pass!! Man-alive!
AND the refs threw their second penalty flag of the day against OM!!
We are to Ole Miss what Kent State is to Alabama, I guess.
Holy moly.
Not in an absolute and irrevocable sense. But this week we are.
Well Hugh let us have one.
WE SCORED! AND WE MADE THE EP!
And kicked the KO into the endzone for a touchback!
TD against 2nd string. We are cookin now
bryanandrewmartin
I mean, we’re pretty good except for offense, defense, and special teams
Good point. If we can just fix those aspects well be pretty good.
We can’t stop their second-team offense either. Defense has problems beyond lack of talent.
Who are we for in the FL/TN game? Aub/LSU?
I’m personally for Fl and LSU..I hate FL but I hate TN more. for personal reasons.
the meteors
I always root for the stadium to wash out into the river
I could care less
Old Miss’s miss on a 55 yard fg attempt was closer than our chip shots.
good lord its just the start of the 4th? will the game not END?
I’ll tune back in Monday for all the stories about our lack of talent.
Poor Eason. This is hard to watch.
Bet he wishes he had gone with Mark to the U. He’s got no line and no receivers.
In a couple of years, Miami’s line will suck just like this one
So much for halftime adjustments.
I thought we had a head coach now that yelled at players and showed emotion and stuff. That didn’t help?
Good thing MR and co. put so much emphasis on recruiting WRs and OL before he left.
So how does a coach like Kirby deal with this type of loss? Sure Alabama lost some games while he was there, but never like this. Does he know how to deal with a team that’s been brutally owned? Did he learn that from Nick?
Stay tuned, story at 11.
Next few minutes are pretty important. See if this new coaching staff can get some life back into the team…long season.
I guess Rocky did show up…
Roterhals
Snitker should manage the Braves next year, he’s earned it.
Did you see where Kevin Garnett retired?
I want to hear him explain why he’s kept the starters in, long after Ole Miss pulled theirs.
I’m sure that will go over well at a CKS press conference
So the assholes on this blog won’t be able to bitch about getting shut out.
Because the starters need as much work as the reserves?
vectordawg
We should nickname the offensive line the “Peter Principal” because they have reached their level of incompetency.
Onside kick, score. Repeat 5 times.
KIRBY’S A QUITTER!!!
Good drive. Glad Holyfield got in game.
Only time I got excited all day! He looked tough too…happy for the kid as he has worked very hard to get on the field.
Now we’ve done it. I fear Ga. Tech.
I’d take one of our shittiest defenders(it would be tough to choose) and have him knock Kelly out of the game with a late hit. Cheating POS. That or just have Carter “accidentally” nail Sleaze on the sideline. Cut of the head of the snake. Unfortunately you’d need a sniper to hit the bagmen up in the skyboxes.
Meds generally don’t work if you don’t take them regularly.
Nick Chubb, you’re the man. You deserve much better than this as a final season.
Reality is a bitch…. Out.
Yep…sho nuff.
ended the game on a 14-0 run. not bad, dawgs. not bad at all
Last year MR was mugging on Hugh Freese. This year Kirby got mugged.
I could not stomach the second half, but if our coach did not send #12 to go sit on the bus and cut his damn hair, I quit…
“cut his damn hair” Must be tough, you an out of work barber?
He didn’t and you won’t.
Point is the kid can’t tackle or look back for a ball in the air on coverage. He shows too much “softness”….needs to be benched for anyone that can fog a mirror…..surely we have someone that can compete
Congratulations fire-Richters. Good job. Your insecurities have manifested to an unproven “process” coach. Put your crayons away, Bobo is the next coach for UGA. Hate to say I told you so, but I told you so.
Hunkering Hank
You are a fucking moron
You are a dipshit
Which is it, a moron or a dipshit?
Thank you for that. Good to laugh.
Thank you, your feedback is invaluable to our institution. Please don’t stop being you.
It’s both!
Go hate somebody else!
Try to get and stay behind GEORGIA no matter the coach!
Hate? You are the one that called me a “fucking moron” and a “dipshit”. I propose you are the one with anger management issues. I assume we both love the Dawgs.
How ’bout em? Nothing sucks like big orange.
Just because I was not sure if you were changing your mind about him being a moron doesn’t mean I don’t support Georgia.
I said back in January that it’d only take one loss for the Richtophiles to pull some shit like this. Right on cue.
Remember the last time Richt went down 45-0?. Me neither.
It’s so good, I can’t even tell if you’re being serious, or if you’re just parodying those folks.
Richt would’ve lost today by 60+.
Congrats on predicting the hypothetical future. You’re so special.
W.T.F… You are literally predicting something as a fact. This is the world we live in…
Go buy some U gear and move on. Most of us have. Richtolytes who needs em. Old news history gone finished what part of that do you not understand.
As for Bobo he cannot win at CSU
I’m def rooting for CMR. If they aren’t playing UGA, I don’t see why any UGA fan wouldn’t.
I would love to see Eason with a CMR/Bobo influence. I think you think thsts an insult? Correct me if so.
Yeah …we’ll wouldn’t take one loss like this for the Richtophobes to start blaming CMC.
…see what I did there? 😉
You mean make yourself sound like a fucking idiot? Then yes, I see what you did there.
It took most of us several years (and in my case, more than a dozen years) to turn on Richt. But Chris here? One loss.
Do you even try to breathe out of your nose? I have a good ear and throat doctor if you want a reference.
Ok, I can say it…with feeling….Gooooooo Gators!!!!!!!
Now we know for sure what we all thought before. We do not have a lot of SEC level competitors. Is Kirby the answer? I hope so. We need big recruits and we need them everywhere… except maybe TE and RB. Let’s make the best of what’s left. Go Dawgs! Beat UT… Chattanooga. 🙊
I have to wonder — how did they all disappear in one year? Weren’t we still having ranked recruiting classes? That what we were hearing in the hinterlands.
Don’t know. I’m just trying to be positive and I’m new at it. We were pretty bad last year, too.
Gotta recruit along the lines. MR was enamored with the shiny, pretty toys.
And averaged 10 wins each season with them!
Yep but really ain’t got shit to show for it but an ongoing argument about whether we should have spiked the ball in the 2012 SECCG.
Sorry, we’ve been out-physicaled plenty in years past, but I can’t remember it like this. Something else is at play. Just not sure what.
I can’t help but read that with the heavy mouth breathing associated with the fire CMR crowd.
I’m one of them. I stuck with Richt for a long time before jumping ship. CKS has his work cut out for him. No doubt about that.
Congrats on jumping from the winningest coach in UGA history to an unproven Sabah disciple. If most people displayed 10% of the expectations they have for “their” football coach, this would be a better world, free of trailer parks and mouth breathing hypocrites.
Richt would’ve started Faton Bauta today, and lost by 60+.
Faton was playing for CSU today.
45-0. Any other anti Richt talking points you want to throw out to address this direct fact?
Final score was 45-14. I remember a 49-10 defeat at the hands of Florida in 2008. And we had Stafford, Moreno, and Green at that point, so the talent gap was a lot closer in that game. I’d say your wait is over.
Good for you. Note to self: Check with Chris before developing expectations. Also, Chris frowns on trailer park people and is intolerant of differing opinions. We would have whipped Ole Miss with CMR. Keep telling yourself that.
TN Dawg
something, something, something…..annual bed-shitting…..can’t win big games….don’t show up ready to play…..something, something, something…
That was a shit show, y’all. Ole Miss should NEVER be that far ahead of UGA in football.
^ :youknowhesrightmorganfreemanmeme:
Did I just walk to Hell with a broke back, or watch another UGA football game……
This may be the (I sure hope) the lowpoint of Kirby’s time at Georgia. It’s certainly an opportune time to turn the corner, because I don’t see how it could get any worse. Georgia will still lose some (maybe a lot) of games this year, but not in this awful fashion.
How “The Most Georgia Thing Ever”, that this team would be this inept in the one year where everyone was pointing to how favorable the schedule is for it. Shit. All we had to do was field a pretty good team to take the East. Now it looks like we could finish 4th or 5th.
When Nicholls pushed us around, we shoulda seen the bad moon rising.
WE may need to stop and remember the old saying….
“Things are never as good as they seem or as bad as they seem”.
They almost couldn’t be.
We fired Mark Richt to get this crud?
I know, right? At least Richt would’ve had the good sense to start Faton Bauta today.
Couldn’t because he was playing for Co St. today.
Wonder if he was prepped for that game or just got tossed in.
Exactly. 10 wins a year in the SEC is a given. Any idiot can do it. Thank God Richt is gone and ruining Miami as we speak. They’ve looked awful this year.
Gosh, why limit that comment to one post when you can use it forever!
Welcome to America 2016. Look at our self elected politicians. FYI, Panama subsidies many ex-pat living expenses and have internet that can handle watch ESPN.
It may get crowded down there soon. Hot’er than hell, though.
Nahhhh…Poas. Costa Rica. This time of year you would be lighting a small fire in the fireplace at night. Tomorrow you’d be catching trout with a hand line and banana slice and eating them with eggs,and black beans.
Get in the mountains and you’ll never need A/C again. I was shocked the b&b we stayed at this year had high speed internet.
Diversify you investmens and never worry about US elections again.
Yea buddy….oh oh oh ok den
The Lord tells me he can get me out of my mess, but he’s pretty sure Bulldog Football is fucked!
I hope you all show up next week ready to back our team. They need their fans behind them. I loved Mark Richt but he is gone and neither those of us whous supported Richt or those wanted him fired know what the score would have been. I know the team will be working on catching the ball this week. Come ready to be loud next week and if you are negative give your tickets to someone who can be positive.
No no, the coaches are morons and the players have ling hair!!!
Great post Debby
Amen, all the bickering between the different coaching factions has gotten motherf@$#%€g ridiculous. Everyone needs to shut the hell up, take a deep breath, and quite being a bunch of whining babies. Was what happened to Richt right? Not Really. Is Kirby the answer? Too early to tell. Are we lacking in talent in a lot of areas? Oh hell yeah. Everyone needs to put their stupid agenda aside, and remember we all started reading this blog because we’re Dawg fans dammit! Remember that and let’s quit being assholes for a little bit huh?
Well there is at least one Richt fan
Who me? Nope, he lost me, for good, after Alabama last year. While I wasn’t screameing “Fire Richt!” all day, every day. I wasn’t sad to see him go. I was more in favor of hiring someone with HC experience though, but I will support Kirby until he’s had time enough to have fully implemented his system, with his players.
Me too. If things are this bad in 2018, then it’ll be time to cut ties. But I believe he deserves a chance to get his own guys in the program.
No not you lol
I agree. I was in favor of getting rid of MR and probably got a little salty about it on here. I didn’t like what I saw today but it’s one game. And Ole Miss is honestly more talented on both lines and at WR. We all know that they pay players so why shouldn’t they be? Add in some questionable coaching decisions and you end up with a shit sandwich like we saw today. Who knows? Maybe we’ll beat the Vowels next week. Stranger things have happened.
I will be there and will loudly cheere for my team to win.
I’m growing a beard
Well. That did not go well.
Next week is another game.
Like I stated yesterday Senator. Kinda silly speculating about the ” intangibles” when you don’t have the tangibles covered.
Late to the party, but my $0.02: Chubb and Trent would have started for Ole Miss today. That’s it. 2 out of 22 players.
I get it, no one wants to hear or believe that it is a talent issue. But the gap between us and Ole Miss was staggering. OL, WR, and DBs are as bad as they’ve been since the 90s.
It’s time to reset expectations. This rebuild is going to be longer than most people thought, and that was going to be the case regardless of who the coach is.
We are on our 3rd OC and 3rd DC in four years, and were going to be no matter who the coach is.
The talent level will be up again, but it’s simply going to take time and require patience.
http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2016/2/4/10914710/college-football-recruiting-improvement-tcu-baylor
Means nothing. Look at the distribution. Look at the 2013 class. Look at the talent that has just left the program. Plus, we were wrong on evaluation on a ton of those players. We have an OL that is atrocious, WR than can’t get separation, can’t block, can’t catch, and undersized, slow DBs that have lucked out by not facing a passing team in 2 years.
You can throw out those rankings, but I know what I saw. Aside from Chubb and Trent, who did you see that was better than their Ole Miss counterpart?
Good point. Bill Connelly is an idiot. Sure, he has his fancy statistics, but we’ve got the eye test. Everybody knows that Richt just used walk-ons for all of his teams. Thank God Smart brought in the greatest lineman in the country in Catalina. If we just had a few more like him, we would be sitting pretty.
Ok, we’ll see, won’t we? We see who all on this roster gets drafted.
Georgia has fared well in putting players in the NFL.
Yes, I’m aware. We’re talking about this particular team.
The DBs are fine. It is the same guys as last year. They are playing as well as they did last year. They are good but not great. When a QB makes a great throw into double coverage and the WR makes a great play, there isn’t much you can expect them to do. We will not see a group of WR like that for the rest of the season.
Yeah, our WRs are WAY too small. They can’t get separation. When they do, they keep dropping the ball. We have 3 commits: 6’2″, 6’3″, and 6’5″. We have probably 2 more slots open. Looking forward to Ridley being healthy. We need Wims to step up.
The OL is where the big problem is. We have an FCS LT, 3 Guards and a 3rd string DT as an OL. Pike is a quality Guard, but is a liability at RT. If we had a natural Center, we could make the line from left to right: Wynn, Kublanow, New Center, Pike, Catalina. That would be better but still less than good. It would be easier to get Catalina some TE help on the right side. We need to find a way to get Sims and Galliard the hell off of the field. Will one of the freshmen step up at Guard? Doesn’t look like it.
“You are never as good as they say you are when you win and never as bad as they say you are when you lose.” That old saying is still true. I am still hopeful that the Dawgs will salvage a respectable season and maybe even win a bowl. That said, I feel the worst I have ever felt about the UGA coaching staff since I started following Georgia football in 1964, This team wasn’t ready to play today–and that falls squarely on the coaching staff. Other than Schotty and CMR I thought our coaching staff last year was pretty damn good. So the powers that be fire CMR after a 10 win season because Kirby Smart (a “son of Georgia”) is about to get hired by South Carolina and we sure as hell don’t want that–the Gamecocks to get our Georgia Boy!! A helluva reason to make a coaching change. I was ready for CMR to be gone, too, but only if the suits hired a coach that would be an improvement. Instead of interviewing Gary Patterson, Tom Herman, or any other proven HC with an excellent track record we hired another Mark Richt–a career coordinator with no HC experience. Well guys, get ready for a couple of years of OJT for our vaunted new HC and his miserable staff of assistants. This staff is terrible. If someone had said to CKS that he can have the HC job but he would have to keep the old staff intact except for Schotty that would have been one thing. But to hire CKS and an entire staff of retreads is a little much to take. Get ready for Johnny Griffith redux. I hope not but it is looking more that way each game. Last season the Senator said that he didn’t want to fire CMR because he was afraid that B-M would f*ck up the hire for his replacement. I felt the same way and said so repeatedly. Boy, those B-M people sure are predictable.
Dude, today’s outcome would have been identical with no coaching change.
The talent difference jumped off the tv from the first 5 minutes. The outcome was inevitable.
Best team $$$ can buy outside of at RB.
Even schotty put Chubb and Sony on the field together. Marinate on that for a sec.
Could UT and Arky fans been right about Chaney?
Chaney is an empty size XXXXL parka.
Lol. +1
Sale was awful but your point is taken
Wow, it took 4 games for the split in the fan base to open back up. We got our @$$3$ handed to us today. I don’t know if it’s talent, coaching, culture or a mixture of all 3 into a witch’s brew of horrific proportions. I had this game as a loss because of home field and an edge at the most important on the field, quarterback. What this game spiraled into was the result of a mixture of coaching and remnants of culture. The coaches appear to be bull-headed about running between the tackles on early downs on offense and refusing to give the line help with rushing the passer (Senator, 3rd and Tucker is coming) in obvious passing situations. The culture of collapsing when things don’t go your way reared its ugly head in the 1st half. I don’t know what the fixes are, but I don’t get paid $3,750,000 a year to figure it out.
I honestly can’t imagine a scenario where the fanbase will be united again.
It’s a bloody mess.
The Richt faction needs to let it go and move on but they just have to say I told you so. Only thing that will shut them up is an SEC title.
I’d like to think so, but I just don’t know. I’m really afraid it’s going to be a split forever. Nothing short of an NC will ever reunite the fanbase.
I thought we had, but it’s as bad as it’s ever been.
Tri, if B-M had hired A first rate HC with experience who could bring a winning staff with him the fan base would be united. B-M choked on the hire. That is what you get when idiots grt to make the decisions. We’ll have to live with this for 2-3 more years then maybe those dopes will hire a real HC next time. What I saw today was Ray Goof all over again.
It is too soon to make those type of calls.
And you’ve determined this 4 games in?
No on BM hired would’ve united the fanbase-I think that’s pretty obvious. We still can’t agree on whether it was necessary or not.
93,000 people didn’t come to G-Day to see Ludicris. They came to watch a scrimmage and excited to see what was going to be different. The fan base including those referred to as Richtophiles or Richtophants wanted to see if this staff was going to move the needle. If you don’t think the fan base had come together, you wouldn’t have seen the dome field advantage we saw on Labor Day weekend.
Many people including the Mayor and myself wanted a true search for an EXPERIENCED head coach. I wasn’t a Tom Herman fan because I hadn’t thought he was at it long enough (I was wrong – the guy can flat coach). I wanted us to make David Shaw turn us and our Brinks trucks down.
I decided to give Kirby a chance when he was hired. He won the opening press conference. He kept together a really good recruiting class and improved it. He’s putting together a wonderful class for this year. He’s trying to instill a toughness into the team that has been lacking in that department for some time. He’s trying to balance winning now with developing a young QB that can be the cornerstone of the future. He has also talked down the talent on this team publicly to the point where I believe he has killed some of these guys’ confidence. He made some changes that I believe are a slap at the tradition here before him (the “dressy” DawgWalk and the elimination of bones as helmet stickers). He doesn’t appear to like interacting with the common folk and seems to take a “I don’t have time for this s—” approach with the Dawg Nation. Some of that works when you come to a place with a record of success. Some of that can blow up in your face if you aren’t successful.
It’s 4 games in. I don’t disagree about preferring an experienced coach, but it is what it is.
Have you seen Shaw and Stanford play? If you think the OL looks bad now, imagine what it would look like in Stanford’s offense.
It is what it is. Kirby is going to improve the overall talent level on the roster over the next 3-4 years. I have no doubt about that. Whether he can translate it to wins is going to play out over time.
But I do believe he’s going to have a much more complete, more talented roster going forward.
I know how Stanford plays. They also do it without 4 and 5 star players at every position but with guys who play hard, fundamentally sound, and limit mistakes. You don’t see Stanford’s classes at the top of recruiting rankings.
I agree … It’s 4 games in, and Kirby is going to get his fair shot. Most reasonable people weren’t expecting a championship this year even with Nick Chubb back. I’m willing to wait and see what happens, but if we see more performances like yesterday, Kirby is going to find his honeymoon to be over quickly. Once you’re on the hot seat, you never get off just the temperature changes.
Hey–the honeymoon is already over. The performance in Oxford did that.
Comments like this are exactly what I’m talking about.
I know some of these richtophants, and they are quite bizzare with quixotic at best thinking.
Kirby could win 3 nattys and they would still make excuses….hell they would probably say he did it with CMR’s roster.
Did Richt ever get behind 45-0? If not, then please don’t “compare” UGA factions. Thank you very much.
31-0 at home w preseason #1 team, #1 overall draft 3 first round draft picks.
35-0 USC 2012 with probably his most complete team
So no?
go buy some Miami stuff. That’s clearly where your loyalties are.
So you have no response. Please just articulate that ahead of time.
PS I’ll still donate to the Hartman Fund despite your recommendation
Richt got fired before he had to play with this shitstrom of a roster he created.
Today was an awful loss, I’m not arguing this. But, given the talent on this roster, to suggest it was worse than either of the games I mentioned is a stretch. Not to mention 2008 UF or 2011 LSU.
We’re not going to agree on it, it’s fine.
Go Dawgs! We may disagree on circumstances, but I’ll always buy a round for a fellow Dawg. I think Kirby can turn it around, but as he says, 6’7″ OTs don’t grow on trees.
Yup, Go Dawgs!
I hope things get better, and I think they can. I just don’t know if the fractured fanbase will let it happened. It’s just so divided.
I don’t think the fanbase is as fractured as you may think it is. As a “Richtophile” who associates with my own kind, I can gaurentee you I’ve never met anyone rooting against Smart.
We all want UGA to succeed, just see things in different ways.
God, I sincerely hope you’re right. I just have been completely disheartened the past 3 weeks.
I totally underestimated the amount of people ready to pounce as soon as things got rough.
85 players on scholly, 10 of those recruited by Kirby. U gear cheaper than Dawg gear so go get ya some.
Dude, Richt lost worse two time I can think of 49-10 to the Gators in 2008 and 41-10 to LSU in 2011. Kirby might never be worth a damn, but stop acting like today was the worst loss in program history.
Do you think today was a good day for the program? I’ll hang up and listen.
Did I say it was? Nope. Just pointing out the fact that we’ve gotten blown out worse.
I’d say it was about equal to trying to fight Bama in the tunnel and then losing by 28.
It was an awful day for the program, but guess what. I think UNC and Missouri are both better than a single team we beat last year.
Now it’s the “no championships, no peace” crowd on one side and the “why don’t you go cheer for the U” crowd on the other.
You’re right, gatriguy, it’s a mess, and the problem is there’s no one who is a leader that has time for this $#!+ to fix it. I’m officially worried Kirby is going to be so wedded to the Process that he’s going to waste every bit of goodwill with the fan base.
Truly the only thing that will fix it now is a CFP berth.
Unfortunately, ee, the guy who should be leading all factions is Greg McGarity. He damn sure isn’t the second coming of Joel Eaves.
It’s a mess. I thought we’d be better than this and all row in the same direction. I was wrong.
I can. A national title.
Juwuan Briscoe looks way too much like Bryan Evans. Always getting beat, never targeting the ball, and not even making it a fight when the receiver catches it. Do we not have anyone that will at least win some lose some?
Briscoe/Parrish reminded me of Evans/Miller defensive backfield….awful!
I find it quite ironic that some of you who refused to be critical of CMR after years 5, 10, and 15 suddenly are impugning CKS to no end after a mere 4 games….with CMR’s roster to boot.
CMR utterly castrated this program, yet the Richtophants out there want to cast blame elsewhere in a shameless attempt to salvage the rep of their failed leader.
Want me to list some of CMR’s eggs after many years as HC? Give me a break.
Feel free. Just highlighting the fact that UGA hasn’t been boat raced like today since… before Richt.
Once upon a time, Richt was revered for his road game performance. Oh how that gets forgotten.
That was always a little bit of fool’s gold since he never had to play Florida on the road and they were his white whale.
But yeah, those days were awesome.
Richt certainly made mistakes as the UGa coach.
For the last 5 years I was told I liked mediocrity if I wanted Richt to be our coach. What I saw today in Oxford was not even mediocre.
It’s also ironic that the people who constantly trashed Richt after every loss now say “But you have to get behind Smart.”
Well, 15 years and 4 games are pretty comparable sample sizes.
Right. Funny how people conveniently keep forgetting this. If Smart is losing like this in ’18, I’ll be all for a coaching change wand will admit his time as a failure. But to do it after 4 games with CMR’s roster is so pathetic it’s laughable.
You know if you could just shut up awhile about CMR others wouldn’t be so quick to come to his to his defense.
No one is calling for a coaching change after 4 games and I am not calling his time as HC a failure. I am saying he stunk today, he stunk on his own and he deserves to be criticized for it. That does not mean he cannot learn from his mistakes and I hope he does.
I wish we had hired an experienced head coach. Wish we had tried to get Tom Herman, but we didn’t. That means Smart is the coach of my team and I want him to win every damn game.
Blame someone who spent the week 700 miles away from Butts-Mehre for our lack of preparation if you want, but I am not.
Good point. Richt played the long con. He spent 15 years ruining the team. Now, he could have done it in three, but frankly, the SEC is too easy of a conference for that. Even with awful coaching and recruiting, 10 wins is nearly guaranteed. Instead, Richt bided his time and was finally able to build a team of top ten recruiting classes that sucks so much that not even Smart and McGarity may be capable of winning 10 games. And we all know how easy that is!
Well played. Wish I could insert the Citizen Kane clapping gif.
You are a really smart guy, a business success. You know that it is appropriate to evaluate Smart for what he does, not for what someone else did.
Smart is not entitled to immunity just because you did not like his predecessor. We stunk today. We were not mentally focused and our strategy was odd, considering the match ups. Richt has nothing to do with that.
My perspective wasn’t that we lost. It was the manner in which we lost. We spit the bit, soiled the bed, laid an egg, face planted or any other term you want to use. That’s about being resilient & focused and really is what cost the previous guy his job. If we had fought like mad and lost, hey, you tip your cap to the other guy and tell him good luck the rest of the season. When your team plays like it doesn’t have a pulse, it is the coaching staff’s fault. The roster isn’t where anyone wants it to be especially along the lines of scrimmage, but playing hard, physical and fundamentally sound is a choice. This team decided not to do it today.
That’s fair, and very concerning. I don’t know how you change that.
I had hoped those days were over. I’m just not sure from a mental toughness perspective what is missing.
Sadly, old habits die hard.
Agree 100%
Boy, That Pittman hire as O line coach is really working out well…
One of two things must be the case. Either (a) he really is the “best in the business” OL coach that everyone says he is, or (b) he’s overrated as all hell. For now, I’m inclined to trust his reputation. But think about what that implies. If the best OL coach in the country can’t keep our OL from looking like a bunch of turnstiles, then perhaps the talent (and strength) at that position is even worse than we all suspected. (Maybe the rumors are true, and the last coaching regime couldn’t evaluate OL talent for shit.) Either way, we’re going to have to be patient and let Pittman rebuild this OL from the ground up.
Ramguy
The Mark Richt crowd must have forgotten the loses to Vandy, a very crappy SC a couple of years ago….the trashing by the hands of Fla the past two years, one with Faton as the starter, the bonehead kick off call against Tech. The trashing by Tenn in 2007(?) when the Dawgs had the players for a title run. The I don’t give a crap expressions on his face.
These Richt people make me pull against UM every game.
What does Richt 2006, or Richt 20013 have to do with whether we were well coached today? Why does the 2007 UT game give Smart immunity from criticism for his performance?
A couple years from now I hope we can all look back on this as an aberration.
But if you don’t understand its going to be a long couple years you probably need to renew your symphony tickets, cause for better or worse we changed coaches, and that’s almost a guarantee of a couple of years in the doldrums.
Yes, you can sit back and say, hmmm Mark Richt won 10 games last year with a team that was slightly less talented than this one, but that would be a pointless exercise.
We changed coaches, whether that made you happy or sad, deal with the consequences.
And hope.
Yeah. We’re gonna have to let it play out for a few years.
Remember, Scorpio, hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things, and no good thing ever dies.
The problem is that the Bulldog Nation has been in the hope stage for 36 years now as 5 of our fellow conference members have won crystal footballs (3 of those including our bloodlust rival have won multiple). In some cases, that hope has turned to frustration and now downright anger.
I can’t take credit for that … Tim Robbins as Andy Dufresne in one of my favorite all-time movies 🙂
Today go 💩
This one is over and in the books. Bootch Please is coming to town and will be wearing that shit eating grin of his when he arrives. We’re gonna need a privet specialist when they leave I think they take half the hedges home with them.
Oh and Florida ain’t gonna be in a good mood when we play .
Gus got a new bus.
Does Tech play here this year?
AHD, when you look at the remaining games in light of what happened yesterday every single game remaining on the Dawgs’ schedule is in play–including U La La. I’m not sure the team I saw yesterday in Oxford can beat UK and Vandy, much less Auburn, UT and FU. Tech, too.
I agree. 4 games in and this season is already on the brink. A woodshed loss in Athens this weekend at the hands of a Tennessee team that will be smelling blood in the water would be disastrous. I’m not even talking about winning a division … I’m talking about respectability. Why do I feel like this is potentially 1989-1990 all over again? I lived that as a student … I never want to go back there again.
Man. Just got in and read this thread. Can’t we all just get along?
When I lurk on the UT message boards and still see people, today, arguing over Phil Fulmer. Is that where we want to be years from now, arguing over woulda, coulda, shoulda?
Does getting along mean ignoring the shortfalls of the program in a game that was supposed to be an early measuring stick? I guess we’re all supposed to give the staff credit for all of the wins this year and the previous staff the blame for all of the losses. That’s not the way it works, and I haven’t seen anyone say the previous staff would have won this game. I’ve seen a team that hasn’t played well the last 3 weeks on either side of the ball but especially on offense. It’s not all players and execution, and it’s not all coaching and preparation. There’s a lot of blame to go around.
If we end up wandering in the wilderness like UT did, I guarantee you we’ll still be arguing about the decisions made in November and December 2015.
Except McGarity and the others who made the bad decisions will be long gone and WE will be the ones left holding the bag.
jdjrip
let me give the “Can’t we all just get along crowd” something to chew on. I don’t care if we as dawg fans can or can not agree on a particular “issue”. I care about who is right/correct and who is wrong/incorrect.. If 60%-75% of the fan base is certain that changing Coaches was the right thing to do , the mere fact that they were a majority did not make them correct ….it merely made them whiny trolls who just KNEW that change would be for the better. Those of us who correctly pointed out that all change is NOT good and pointing out that firing the winning-est (% wise ) Coach we ever had would historically(Phil Fulmer and L , Carr) and statistically be unlikely to produce a superior result were dismissed as Richt lovers . What the powers that be at Butts-Mehre need to be is right…. not popular. What most people with a brain intuitively understood was that the B-M crowd already had a significant track record of not being right about damn near anything. I don’t want to be understood,agreed with, respected or even right. What I want is to win. Our brain trust and whiners have in all probability doomed us to wandering in the Michigan/Tenn wilderness for the next decade. Thank you McGarity. I am officially changing my trivia team name from “Micheal Adams must Die” to “Greg McGarity must Die “. How much can I get for my 25 yard line lower level tickets with seat backs and parking pass to the UT game ? I do not need to watch this exercise in futility.
Ten wins are great and all, but really we’ve kind of been wandering in the wilderness since 2005.

This is fine.
College football attendance continues to decline.
Major-college football experienced its largest per-game attendance drop in 34 years and second-largest ever, according to recently released NCAA figures.
Attendance among the 129 Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) teams in 2017 was down an average of 1,409 fans per game from 2016. That marked the largest drop since 1983 when average attendance declined 1,527 fans per game from 1982.
The 2017 FBS average of 42,203 fans per game is the lowest since 1997.
I knew those players taking a damned knee during the National Anthem… oh, wait.
How about this, then? Those liberals just don’t appreciate ‘Murica’s greatness like they used to… um, what’s that you say?
Even the most rabid league in the country saw a dip. In 2017, the SEC experienced its sharpest per-game decline — down an average 2,433 fans — since 1992. That figure led the Power Five in fans lost per game in 2017.
While the SEC led all FBS conferences in average attendance for the 20th consecutive year, its average attendance (75,074) was the lowest since 2005. The SEC has slipped an average of 2,926 fans per game (3.7 percent) since a record 78,630 average in 2015.
Well, dayum, Johnny, what’s the problem?
College sports has long been at odds with how to manage the time/value relationship. In other words, how to make attendance at a live event more valuable than the alternatives, which range from remaining at a tailgate outside the venue to viewing on a smartphone while on the go to watching in the comfort of one’s living room.
“It’s a technology issue,” said Wright Waters, Football Bowl Association executive director and former Sun Belt commissioner. “The public is ahead of us every day in what they can get from technology. We have not been able to keep up.”
One former Power Five athletic director called it a “societal shift” leading the powers that be scrambling to figure out the viewing habits of millennials as well as well-heeled alumni.
“This is not surprising to me,” said Bill Lutzen, a veteran sports TV programmer who is currently the CFO of a web optimization firm. “This issue is with lack of involvement of the college students. They no longer view attending sporting events as part of the university experience.”
Gee, you mean there’s a price to pay for crapping all over your fan base? Who’da thunk it? Certainly not the geniuses who’ve been selling out the sport to whatever broadcast partner they can find with some cash to spend. Well played, everyone.
Ordinarily, I’d say it’s something to bring to the attention a certain someone at Butts-Mehre, but he’ll be long gone by the time this particular poo hits the proverbial fan.

My top 5 reasons. My game-day experience centers on winning even if I have to hold my water for 4 hours.
1.) every game on TV
2.) higher ticket prices
3.) irregular start times
4.) high price of concessions/parking
5.) countless commercial and replay timeouts

“While the SEC led all FBS conferences in average attendance for the 20th consecutive year, its average attendance (75,074) was the lowest since 2005.”
Ironically, the LAST time we won the SEC. Somehow, we’re gonna get blamed for this, aren’t we?
It is all tied together. With the conference, esp. the East, bottom heavy.
Tennessee usually packs in 100K but they are the bottom feeder now. So their attendance would be down..as would UF’s.
The same reason UGA had a cakewalk to the SECE championship. UT and UF suck and even their fans know it.
Maybe Tennessee and Vandy can play at Bristol this year. “Bottom Feeders Bowl”..That would help.
But the raw #’s and avg were up at Vandy, Kentucky and USC.
Senator, didn’t the WWL lose viewers as well? That would signal something other than stadium game experience falling off.
Pretty sure viewership was down. My theory is there are simply way more options than ever before and I think the concussion awareness among Joe Fan is much, much higher than it used to be and it’s having an impact (albeit a small one most likely).
College teams aren’t protesting like the NFL, so we can’t use that a potential reason like it can for the NFL ratings slide. I think we’re seeing people tune out live TV in general.
The EPL (English soccer league) just sold its rights in Great Britain for the same rate is it did in the last negotiation window after the previous two windows jumped significantly. I think globally there’s been a push to consume content when people want as opposed to live.
Concussion awareness was in the forefront of my thoughts as well.
75 inch 4k tv with perfect camera angles, 7 speaker surround, BBQ on the BGE and cooler of beer on deck, perfect weather, no restroom lines or traffic issues, no drunk slob taking up half your seat while cursing explatives at a long departed OC, no cost (other than beer and BBQ), no getting up before dawn for noon games or getting home after midnight for night games, ability to switch to other games during halftime or myriad breaks in action, no worries about drunk driving/drivers…
Hmm…I can’t possibly figure out why attendance is declining.
No live football in 4K as far as I know…YMMV.
You needn’t count the cost of BBQ and beer, as you have to eat and drink beer on Saturday, football or no.
Keep raising prices, keep making tailgating difficult, don’t worry too much about anything except the most spartan stadium improvements for the fans, and keep allowing TV to control the tempo of the game.
This is the formula for getting people to stay at home.
I guess that’s one explanation. Another one might be that the programs most responsible for the dip in 2017 were Arkansas (-6,300), Ole Miss (-6,300), Tennessee (-5,200), Texas A&M (-3,100), and LSU (-2,700). Seeing as all of those coaching situations were tenuous, might I suggest that fan optimism plays a larger role than technology or those damn kids?
There are always programs suffering down years. Don’t see how that explains a trend.
It’s two years following a record high. I don’t think that’s a trend. And the programs who have been both good and stable haven’t dipped (unless you’re fretting over a few hundred at Auburn).
Sorry… I was talking about the general trend in CFB.
But on the SEC, I assume there have always been programs that have suffered through poor seasons, so why are we seeing a dip now and not before?
I think it ebbs and flows, and we saw a peak right before a whole lot of things happened to reduce attendance at a lot of programs all at once. Missouri’s campus problems followed by a coaching change in 2015 killed 2016, and they haven’t recovered. A&M fan expectations were on a decline, so we saw a year to year decline in both 2016 and 2017 there. Florida fans like offense, and the end of the 2015 season was brutal for them, so a decline for them in both 2016 and 2017. Ole Miss went up between 2015 and 2016, then plummeted again with their probation. I can go on, but I think if you analyze each situation individually you don’t get a simple answer about the state of modern college football. There’s no obvious reason for attendance not to rebound everywhere but maybe Missouri.
The SEC as a whole had a bit of down year. Look at how terrible Florida and Tennessee were when was the last time both UT and UT didn’t make a bowl?
I would also argue the playoff has devalued the regular season resulting lower attendance.
Yes, the playoff [sic] has devalued the regular season.
In case you’re wondering about the dip from 2015 to 2016, the major dips belonged to Missouri (nearly -13,000!), Kentucky (-7,600, which I don’t understand. Am I missing something about 2015 Kentucky?) and Florida (-2,200).
I forgot MSU who fell over 3,400 per game from 2015 to 2016, which makes sense.

Schools regularly report student tickets as sold out even when the students don’t show up. How does BM convince the kids to wake up early for the likes of Austin Peay? Intimidation of course! The school can track if you do (or don’t) use your student tickets because they are 100% electronic and tied to the student’s personal ID card. If you don’t show up for games you can lose the rest of the season. This has the added benefit of allowing all resales to flow through BM, because most students are not keen on just giving their student ID to a stranger.
So now you get the students walk over to the game when the gates open, scan their tickets and then walk back out to go back home/downtown. Those seats remain empty, even if there was another student that maybe would have gone (Particularly for games like that when students likely would just give them away).
This obviously applies to students and not the rest of us, but just one example of how It’s not just technology.
How to fix this.
All un-scanned student tickets go on sale for 10 bucks apiece five minutes after kickoff.
A standby buyer gets if for ten bucks.
If the student shows up in say 15 minutes, he gets another no-show’s ticket if there are any left.
After 20 minutes, the tardy student has to get in the stand by line and pay 10 bucks like the other standbys.
None of this effects the student’s future ticket status.
But it will piss off scalpers.
Amazing stuff can be accomplished with technology.
Would this work?
That last quote basically reads like “It’s those damned kids!” to me.

The college student drop-off is pretty concerning . I simply don’t understand how you could live in Athens, have access to season tickets for apx $50 and still not attend the games.
For others, a lot of the problem is the total cost to do it “right.” Nobody wants to tailgate 1.5miles from a stadium. (so you pay out the — for parking). People would love to recreate the college weekend experience but not at $400+ per night for a room. So the all-in cost for a good experience becomes expensive and the “do-it-on-the-cheap” option ends up being kind of a pain in the rear that isn’t all that cheap.
Bogart Double Dawg
As a many year financial supporter of the “Dawg House” by Joe Purcell in Athens, that distance isn’t bad. We have a bus (a short bus…no comments there please) that takes us to the stadium and picks us up. Best tailgating there is, tvs bathrooms and a kitchen. Look it up and you’ll probably get an invite. That’s the fun you can have here..,
Yeah – that rubbed me the wrong way. Rather than figuring out how to engage your customers, let’s just blame the kids because they and adults our own age don’t consume content the exact way we believe they should.
To me TV is a poor substitute for being in the stadium but if they keep upping the prices we will end up watching at home too.
“This issue is with lack of involvement of the college students. They no longer view attending sporting events as part of the university experience.”
I remember a few years ago there was a heated discussion on this blog about whether all the students who want tickets should get tickets and if the student section should be close to the field. Now, we are seeing the results of not engaging the students.
The results of not engaging the students, along with dropping TV viewers leading to less TV revenue, will change the sport. Add CTE and it doesn’t bode well for the long term future.
The students are not just not interested in College, it goes back to High School. I went to see my Nephew’s school play my Mother’s and Grandfather’s High School in the playoffs. It was the 1st time for my Nephew’s school to make the playoffs in their ~20 year history. Attendance was about the same a a typical home game from my time in school and my school never stood a chance of making the playoffs back in the 90s when I was there.
The model for College is going to have to change in the coming decades. I also believe fantasy leagues are keeping the NFL rating up which will eventually change.
*interested in College football
Yep, I agree Otto. It’s just not “must see” like it was when we were in college. It happened to baseball, and it will happen to football.
High school football has nothing to do with college football viewership, IMO. I couldn’t give a shit about HS ball when I was there (I didn’t choose the school), but I was a RABID CFB fan when I arrived in Athens (I grew up a UGA fan).

If you don’t see the effect of the players protesting idiots getting themselves shot by cops during the anthem, you are living in a bubble. It’s not just stats. I know multiple people who won’t nothing to do with the NFL and refused to watch the Super Bowl. I’ve never seen anything like this
Maybe you missed it, but the post is about college football attendance.
Isn’t that the same savant who missed the whole idea on a post yesterday?
My favorite part was a vague reference to stats immediately followed up with anecdotal evidence as irrefutable.
Right-wing dude with right-wing friends discover evidence that totally is in line with their world view… gee, now there’s a shocker.
Goes both ways.
You could fit all the left wing dudes in the west end zone at Sanford.
And there would still be room left over in the west end zone.
You used this quote to discredit the population decline. Taking a shot at the “protest protesters?” that’s a bit talking out of both sides.
Good Lord, man, it was a joke. And I wasn’t discrediting the attendance decline. I was kidding about the rationale some have suggested for the NFL.
I get your joke. Im just saying you cant rag the guy for bringing up something you already did imo. YMMV
Raleigh St. Claire
You know multiple people who “won’t nothing to do with the NFL?”
How interesting.
That of course has nothing to do with attendance at college football games, but thanks so much for that particularly insightful contribution.

The Masters has a pretty good model that the conferences should replicate.

The decline of football started a few years back.
I feel sorry for people who think their Hartman Fund points are going to be worth a shit in 20-30 years.
As my Hartman Fund points go up and up the out of town and postseason games I qualify for go down and down. The only value of my Hartman points right now is I keep the seats I like and a free media guide. You could say your 20 year projection is closer than you think.
Yes – we hit peak football right around 2010/2011. It had nowhere to go but down. It will be a long slow slide but something could speed it up. Concussion and health issues most prominently.
College football programs having to rethink and retrench to woo back live attendance. Whoda thunk it?
I don’t know about that. It seems they’ve noticed the dip and responded with the same ole same ole. MOAR WIFI!!!1!1
Oh I definitely think it’ll be the better part of a decade before we see seats being widened, cushioned, and/or removed, or any other sea change attempting to draw fans back. But it has happened. See Trade School, North Avenue, circa early 80’s.
SlawDawg
Could this have anything to do with the rising number of neutral site games rather than strictly on-campus match ups? The Benz – for example – (and the Dome before it) has a smaller seating capacity than quite a few SEC stadiums. Alabama/FSU opening this year in Atlanta missed out on a few thousand attendees in Tallahassee (~80,000 capacity) and tens of thousands in Tuscaloosa (~100,000 capacity). The $$$ must be better than the crowd.
Even with the recent price hike for disney tickets I can still get in the gate of the magic kingdom for less than the price of a decent UGA ticket. At disney there will be no shortage of people to help make my experience great. At a UGA game I will be explaining to my son why the young man leaving the bathroom only has one shirt sleeve and there is shit all over the bathroom wall.
That is odd. Your price comment indicates you have the best seat in the stadium but your bathroom comment indicates you are in the student section.
I told’em that people would buy Disney tickets instead if they didn’t put a urinal trough off the top back of the North stands that flows sideways and down to the two bathrooms there. Think of the view of downtown Athens while relieving yourself. Or maybe just a small shelter built onto the side of the Skyboxes that flows into their bathroom.
Hell, no one listens to anyone suggesting the pleasures of outdoor peeing.
What was your explanation – careless shitter who had to use his shirtsleeve to wipe?
Austin Peay, Middle Tennessee, UMass, Vandy, Tennessee, Auburn, Ga Tech. Not sure much more needs be said. And our schedule is similar to most others…unfortunately.
So let’s go ahead and raise the price on those attend, make em crap in porta pots, stand in long lines for overpriced concessions and make em park on Mars so they don’t mess up campus for 6-7 days a year. Of course we aren’t surprised we we treat em like hamburger.
Georgia’s attendance hasn’t budged in at least the last four years by the official numbers. It’s sellouts all the way down.
I know the tickets get sold and that’s all that counts…for now. I’d like to see the numbers on actual butts in seats. To me, that seems to be the leading indicator of future ticket sales problems. People will pay those Hartman and ticket fees for a few years, even if they aren’t going as much. But at some point it becomes too big of a pain and they drop tickets all together. With less students turning into money-spending young alumni, that’s going to eventually catch up.
Unfortunately, that’s when the big schools go to the NFL model with fewer, more expensive seats, PSLs, and the rest. Then it becomes a social/business expense rather than a football game.
Tickets sold is what pays the bills…they can’t make folks attend…
I’ve opined on this topic for years………the likes of BM can’t see anything but TV revenue and increasing donations. They have no clue that their continued focus on seemingly making it less fun to actually attend a game, will eventually lead to a decline.
My children are 25 and 23. They were brought up coming to football, basketball, baseball in Athens. I was able to coax them into coming to the National Championship game with me. No other games.
And the “fan” experience at the Natty was…………….well you know. And that had nothing to do with the outcome.
That upper deck will be tented over sooner than they expect. I’m much closer to all TV and the younger generation isn’t going to replace us.
Some what on the subject but I was watching the start of Speed Week at Daytona and noticed that as part of their new renovation they had put in seat backs of varying colors mixed it looked like at random so that it was very hard to tell if people were in the seats or they were just empty. If you are going to just have a television production I can see ESPN/The Mouse using special effects to make the fans look real for TV. The fan ticket prices are just chump change now compared with the TV money.
Stegman has new black seats so you can’t see they are empty…………
If someone can bring robofans to market, they’ll make a fortune.
Talledega has been this way for quite a few years, look over there from I-20 and you’d swear there was something going on.
Yeah somehow the fact that I couldn’t get a full season’s worth of student tickets while I was attending coupled with the university trying to get me to start paying into the Hartman fund before even graduating didn’t really sit well with me.
Maybe in the future treat your future alumni base like they’re valued by you, not just a resource to be drained.
Have had disagreements with you in the past, if unexpressed, but you are right here. Absolutely right.
Didn’t realize you were so young though, unless I’m wrong I thought the no season tickets was less than a decade or so old. Of course I could be wrong, wouldn’t be the first or last time.
Class of ’09. They were doing full and half-season packages depending on the number of requests. You know, rather than just fulfilling the student requests for tickets because, hey, we were the students. Nope. Too much money to be made off of others.
By the way thanks for referring to me as “so young.” LOL
For me, it came down to $$$$. Not going to spend the money to watch crappy teams play, spend way too much time getting there and back, and last but not least, I got tired of the crowds. Call me an old curmudgeon, it would fit, but stay home and spend those $$$ on travel. It is all ones priorities.
As an aside: years ago I bought Seahawks season ticket. Then they made you pay for the “pre season” games as part of the ticket. Kinda like watching Austin Peay or UW vs Portland State.
The Georgia Way
Rest assured, this is not a problem at Georgia.
All is well.
#COMMITTOTHEG
McDoofus and the rubber stamp board do not care that the current students are the folks who would have to replace ticket buyers such as me. If McDoofus cannot get the students interested in football when it is cheap and convenient then he damn sure won’t get them interested in 10 years when it is a big time and money commitment.
He does not care because television money will replace ticket money, you say.
If he doesn’t get them interested in football now they aren’t going to watch it later, and the broadcast value will go down.
Of course, McDoofus and the current board members will be gone and it will be someone else’s problem.

Bum’s rush
I don’t get the backpatting here.
On Wednesday, Clemson quarterback Kelly Bryant announced that he would be redshirting for the rest of the year and transferring, essentially removing himself from the Clemson team. This comes after Clemson coach Dabo Swinney announced that freshman quarterback Trevor Lawerence would be starting against Syracuse on Monday.
Bryant called the decision by Swinney a slap in the face, as Bryant posted a 16-2 mark as a starter and led Clemson to a College Football Playoff a year ago. But Lawerence is a generational type talent, as he was the No. 1 overall recruit in the 2018 class. And Swinney’s faced a decision like this before. In 2014, Swinney went with a veteran, Cole Stoudt, over a hyped freshman, Deshaun Watson, to start the season. That Clemson team lost to Georgia, but had Watson, who led Clemson to the 2016 national title, started maybe the game ends differently.
We’ve laid all of that out to say that juggling a quarterback room is no easy task. And yet, Georgia coach Kirby Smart has done a pretty great job of it so far. In his first year, he turned to the generational talent in Jacob Eason. While the team went 8-5, no one would say that was the wrong move. Last season he again turned to a freshman in Jake Fromm, even through Eason had more raw talent. But again, the results can’t be questioned as Georgia was a handful of plays from a national title.
As for this year, Smart is sticking with experience—and also it’s not like Fromm is a bum.
He’s not a bum. Cool, man.
Does anybody really think things would be different in Athens than they are at Clemson had Fromm been benched in favor of Fields? I sure don’t.
Kirby’s doing a great job — dare I say he’s not a bum? — but let’s not act like he’s got some unique skill here.

Bingo. And in the long run, Kirby’s job is tougher than Dabo’s. There are three separation between the two at Clemson. There is but one in Athens, which means this has the potential to be dragged out for some time. Nice problem to have, but hardly to the point of back slapping.
Showing no mercy on Tennessee will go a long way toward getting Fields the passing game experience he needs.
I would like to see Fields play a full qtr or more in the next two games. Neither QB will lose you the game so we don’t have to be afraid of playing them both. Defense will have to game plan for both and it would be building real (even equal) depth at the position. If all goes well, there won’t be a game we would not feel comfortable in playing either one.
Uglydawg.
Good idea. But the defenses are already having to prepare for them both. If Fields doesn’t get much time, it may lull future teams into the belief that they don’t have to worry about preparing for him…then, wham! There he is and better than they’d ever imagined.
Who knows what evil lurks in the minds of CKS?
Dabo has acted like he wanted to name Lawrence the starter since the beginning, but he had to know Bryant would leave as soon as it happened. I’m surprised he chose the 5th game to do it. The cynic in me thinks he probably wanted to wait until game 6, so Bryant would have no alternative.
Dabo better hope this whole episode doesn’t split his team. Maybe he did it now, so Bryant can leave with his eligibility still intact for the sake of the team going forward.
If he named Lawrence as the starter at the beginning of the season, he loses in College Station.
Dawg Vegas
I believe he said that was the case
Dabo is down to a true freshman starter, a raw rs freshman back up, and Renfrow running 3rd string. Who is running their scout team? I am guessing Dabo hoped Bryant would stick it out. But starting a guy 5 games and then benching him is going to make the sort of waves that wash away recruits.
Well Bryant will prob run the scout team to keep up football skills, as he is still on the team.
He sounds pissed off though, and he should be. Taking a kid like that and telling him to run the scout team is a bridge too far. I bet we see him in the SEC before it’s over.
When you announce your decision to move on, you move on. Clemson would be foolish to keep him around.
Isn’t Stidham a senior? Auburn, baby, Auburn.
According to the article, it sounds like Bryant has left the team and doesn’t plan to return. I don’t know what to think about that, but it’s seems he has made the decision not to be part of Clemson’s team going forward. Dabo offered not to play him the rest of the year if he would stay. I wonder if that would have held up if something happened to Lawrence or he was ineffective in a game. I don’t think Bryant wanted to be put in a position to be requested to enter a game and to tell Dabo no.
Agree, if you’re going to leave, do it. No need to put Coach/Player in an awkward position going forward.
The Ncaa and this 4 game rule created this.
Every decision has unintended consequences. I think the 4-game rule is a good step toward what the process should be … 5 years of eligibility to play. With 5 years of eligibility, I bet Bryant stays to help Lawrence and play in a pinch. He walks out of Death Valley after his last home game with his held high.
Agree totally about the unintended consequences…..5 years sounds fair to me too…
Then you’re going to have a hell of a lot of players playing 5 years. Do you want that? Do the players want that? Won’t the coaches expect that, at least of some position players? All the guys who are possible NFL players but who aren’t going to be high draft picks will be expected to play 5 years in order to improve their draft position. What does that do to the recruiting cap of 85 players? Will the NCAA have to raise the cap to 100 or maybe more?
According to a friend that is tight with his parents he isn’t with the team and wants to withdraw from school.
I would, too. I have to imagine it’s awkward as anything to walk into class and have people whisper or not to be able to go to the athletic building. His whole support system at Clemson has likely disappeared overnight.
Agreed. He’s only been lucky.
First he was lucky that Fromm was able to handle the job last year. Had he or the team had issues in the middle of the season without Eason healthy, there would have been issues. I still say a guy should t lose his job just because he got hurt. Once healthy they both should have played. (This does not discount the possibility that things were going on befmhjnd the scenes that I’m ignorant of. Like partying, not caring, not doing the the job, quietly announcing he was out. Who knows?)
Second, Kirby is lucky because Fromm continues to play really, really well. If he were struggling a little things would get harder. I still say 1 needs more snaps when it matters. Don’t play scared, play them both.
I still can’t figure out how Hurts hasn’t done the same as Bryant. He should. If he plays in game 5 he’s a fool.
JCDawg83
Fromm is a better qb than Eason and was from day one. Eason didn’t lose the starting job because he got hurt, he lost it because Fromm is a better qb than he is. I don’t think anyone really believes Eason would have gotten us to the playoff or the SEC championship last season.
Kirby is going to play whoever gives him the best chance of winning and that’s exactly what he should do.
california_dawg
Humbly disagree. Eason’s ceiling is way higher than Fromm’s. Eason had an oline held together by duct tape and a first year head coach. You can’t say definitively the result wouldn’t have been the same with Eason behind center last season, after the team started to gel. I feel we did the kid wrong.
I love Fromm and I’m ecstatic with what he did, but I think we’re seeing this season with our inconsistency on offense and inability to grind Mizzou with our running game that he benefitted greatly from two team leaders and once-in-a-generation RBs in Chubb and Sony. I feel he’s a more talented Hutson Mason and not in the elite passer camp like Eason, Stafford, and Murray.
William (the other one)
Allow me to disagree with you. Eason had the talent, yes. However, his decision making was lacking and he was slow to pull the trigger on his throws (even though he could make all of them). Fromm may not have the same arm talent, but he is smart, savvy, and not afraid to fire off. I think he feels very much like a Murray, but that’s just my opinion. he checks into plays and knows where to go with the ball. Yeah he makes mistakes (and does seem to take a bit to get settled), but he is easily on par with some of our best passers. I don’t feel Eason was wronged. He just gave way to someone equally prepared to take over. It was unfortunate, but it happens.
I feel like I had seen enough in Eason’s last spring game and those few series against App State to figure he had not progressed much, if at all. I believe that had he not gotten hurt, we lose at Notre Dame last year and maybe lose more. Just my opinion. Also, the jury is still out on whether he will be an elite passer. There is more to it than being tall with a strong arm.
Everybody is certainly going to find out next year at U Dub. I’m one who thinks Eason takes U Dub to a PAC 12 Championship and the 4 team playoff and is a high NFL draft pick in either ’20 or ’21. I wish I could be his lawyer.
Mayor, here is one subject that we agree upon! I think Eason has a huge upside and will do great things as a Huskie. I would have loved to see what that kid could have done behind our o-line last year.
Always fun to wonder what? My strong guess is it would have cost us an SEC title we would not have won, maybe not even played for, with Eason at QB. Hope he does get it together at UW, Peterson deserves good things, as does Eason.
If the goal was to have a player who could throw the ball harder and/or farther, Eason would have definitely been the better choice. If the goal is to have a qb who can read the defense, manage the game, make catchable throws to all parts of the field, make the team around him better and win games, Fromm is the better choice. The “elite passer camp” qbs you cite combined for exactly 0 championships of any kind in 8 seasons at Georgia. I want to see a great college qb playing for Georgia and winning championships for the Georgia Bulldogs. If he also turns out to be a great NFL qb, that’s great but I don’t really care as much about that. Having a great future NFL qb playing at Georgia and not winning any college championships holds no interest to me at all.
Eason may have the bigger upside as far as an NFL career but I think Fromm will go down as a much better college qb. If Eason had truly been the better college qb he would have regained the starting job after he recovered from his injury. As to Fromm being a more talented Hutson Mason, I take that as a compliment of the highest order. Mason was an excellent college qb and I can’t think of a single game he caused Georgia to lose. If Fromm is a more talented Hutson Mason, great things are ahead for Georgia in the next few years.
Excellent rant JC and I agree totally. I like Eason but I also think Fromm is the better QB for the system Kirby is running at Georgia. I also think we may run up against Eason in the future though.
But still, the Dawgs expanded and then maintained upon a 2-score lead in the 2nd Half on the strength of Fromm’s arm. 3 TDs.
and Eason started because????
and Eason didn’t start after his knee healed because???
I dunno? Because of the way Fromm was playing? Just a guess.
I humbly disagree also. Part of my disagreement is that it is really an apples/oranges comparison. Fromm has done great, is a student of the game and a leader. But raw talent (basically, his arm)? That edge goes to Eason, imo. Both Fromm and Eason can run a little, but neither is going to be a Fields type.
Conventional wisdom says that if you have 2 quarterbacks you don’t have a quarterback. I’ve bought into that in the past, but more and more I would like to see Fields get more live action especially in games that we have well in hand.
I was worried my comment would trigger a needless message board war. Glad we can all debate civilly!
And I definitely agree in wanting Fields to see meaningful playing time. No more of this bring him in for 1 play crap.
No Axe to Grind
Eason had the physical gifts but Fromm has the brain for the game. The brain always proves to be the decisive factor.
He had two advantages physically: he was taller, and he could win the long drive contest. Period. Neither of those make you a really good QB in and of themselves. I really liked Eason, but he was never the QB at Georgia that Fromm has been. I hope he studied Fromm last year, gets coached up, and becomes a great QB, but when he left UGA as the 2nd team QB, he was there for a reason. I also appreciated the way he handled the change, he was a team player and feel he paid attention every week in case he was needed. That is special, with all the adoration and winning every matchup since he was 7 or 8, he could have pouted and been disruptive. So #10 will always be a DGD in my book, and I hope he realizes his dreams in football and life.
If Jake Fromm ever loses his job to Fields, I think he will act the same way, but he is still the best we have at the overall position of QB. He may not always be, but he is in 2018. And it will take a damned good QB to beat him down. UGA is blessed to have this as a possibility, although the fans calling for a change should have those conversations at home, or to a buddy in a bar, imo. We don’t have a controversy, and I see no advantage from those who want to create one. And yes, Fields should get more reps to make sure he is ready, and they shouldn’t just be handoffs. I think Fields is underrated as a passer from all I have seen, or heard; his being a good runner is gravy.
Right on, PeatMan! I know it cannot be gauged but I’ve always been conscious of a vibe of grit that Fromm plays with. That has an effect on teammates.
Justa clarification, Macallan is as far from a “peat taste” as you can get. I cannot swallow any single malt with a peaty taste, much less enjoy. Lagavullen is the highly rated peat choice, I could not finish one finger of it and have run from others in that category. Macallan is aged in virgin sherry wood barrels, and that is the secret to their differentiation. Everyone has their own preference, mine is for smoother, milder, and (much) less smokey taste.
Hurts would be a fool to leave Alabama right now. The team is doing historic things. Hurt’s shown improvement from last year. He’s got a proven QB coach and no better model to learn from in Tua. Hurts is getting the sort of media attention and media love he would never see based on his arm at Houston or a similar landing spot, which will serve him well after his playing days are over. And he’s a hit away from once again running an offense with an insane collection of talent around him.
This year at Alabama will do more for Hurts’ future than any alternative in CFB right now.
I’ve come around to this line of thinking as well. If he transfers he ends up on a tram with significantly less talent around him and probably continues to be a running qb. Not helpful to any NFL aspirations he might have
So you think he’s the bench rider that gets drafted? Got it.
I think if he starts two years at another place he has a SLIGHTLY better chance at it, maybe??
Maybe yeah.
But maybe he’d also be a disaster without 10 five stars around him and would more than likely end up with a team that structures its offense around his running ability and won’t develop his passing skills. And he is sitting in 2019
At Alabama at least he has good coaching to improve his passing skills and a chance that because of injury he is the guy again
In either event he is an Undrafted free agent most likely
I usually agree with your comments on this blog but your inability to look at Alabama in an unbiased fashion clouds your judgment sometimes. And comments about being drafted as a bench rider in response to my post make you look like an axxhole
I’m wrong – he won’t sit in 2019
He gets his pick of both systems and depth charts.
Playing at elite football programs isn’t exactly the recipe for NFL success at QB of for being a high draft pick. Its pretty random.
If the kid thinks he can throw it, he should be throwing it, not throwing a year of eligibility away.
I do hate Saban. Not bama. Saban.
I just don’t think many qb back ups either get drafted or get a look in the league. I can think of 1. The guy that played behind Leinert.
I am an asshole, so feel free.
Funny thing Derek, I hate Bama–have for 40+ years–but don’t hate Saban. He’s the best coach in America and taught OUR coach how to be a top notch HC. Maybe all of us ought to love Saban. But I do agree with you about one thing–you are an asshole.
Saban is a lying soulless asshole. I’m sure if your kid was run off and handed an unwarranted medical redshirt to bring in a 5-star you’d still suckle his cock. I won’t. That’s just one example.
Then you’ve got Darius Philon. Jonathan Taylor. You’ve got the kid who led three teammates on a robbery spree 2 days after he was arrested for a illegal gun possession that no one knew about because the press and police conspire to keep shit out of public view.
I could go on. He’s a bag of shit.
Good program builder but a totally evil little bastard that I pull for to lose almost every week, save ND and when Auburn has a chance to do something. He’s 0-3 in those games so fuck him for that too.
Hurts probably will never be a QB in the NFL anyway, but he DEFINITELY will not be if he stays at Alabama. That is 100% certain. If he stays it’s because Nick swindled him into the idea that his prospects are better staying, which is a lie.
He’s an expert at that.
Agree, think he has decided to stay in his current role already. He has a chance to start again if Tua is hurt at any point, get additional coaching, and is on pace to graduate in December and still play another year for someone else. If that doesn’t give him a chance to get a call from the NFL, it doesn’t matter anyway.
Hurts will go to the NFL as soon as possible even if as a free agent.
2 years of eligibility is better than 1.
Pretty easy math for the sentient among us.
He still has five years to play four. Not sure where you’re getting the idea that he’s losing a year of eligibility. He could, for example, transfer as a grad to a new program, red shirt, and then play as a fifth year. It’s effectively what Jake Coker did coming over from FSU.
Maybe Jalen decided playing this year at Alabama was in his best long-term interests. You can make some obvious and compelling arguments that it is, from a QB perspective, from a potential coaching career perspective, and from a potential media career perspective.
I know you hate Saban, and I get it – but your loathing for the man has you locked into the idea that Saban is hoodwinking poor Jalen. It’s patronizing and, given the totality of evidence, pretty myopic.
When he graduates he can transfer and play immediately, so its 2 years left, not 1
Exactly. He still has two years of eligibility left after he plays this year and then graduates in December. He can choose to one or both of those years.
If this is his third year playing, he has only 1 left: 4-3=1
If he doesn’t play past game 4: 4-2=2
Jesus dude!
He can spend 2 years at FSU or wherever. Period.
and play 1 IF he doesn’t shut it down NOW.
If you don’t think there’s a difference between playing 1 year or playing 2 years fine, whatever.
No I think he’s made the decision that playing THIS year is worth more to him in the aggregate than shutting it down now and playing an extra year somewhere else.
You’re making an assumption that playing this year at Alabama has less value to Jalen than playing somewhere else the next 2 years. It’s not even clear that’s necessarily true on the NFL QB front, and it’s pretty obvious that on other front – coaching, media – this year at Alabama would have FAR more value to him than a second year on the field at NC State or FSU or Auburn or wherever.
You called him a fool for playing. We disagree on that. You said he would only have 1 year of eligibility left and could only play 1 year. No, he could play 4 games next year somewhere as a redshirt and then a full year the following.
So, yeah, we disagree. Whatever.
How much is he going to play this year after his RS is burned? I think he’s being played.
ASEF….I hate to say it but Derek’s right. If Hurts stays at Bama through the rest of this season that will be the third year he has played CFB and he will only have one season of college eligibility left. That’s one of the reasons I think he has made the decision to go pro after this season–because he didn’t leave Bama already.
No, Derek’s wrong. Jalen could play 4 games next season – out of the gate, or into the post-season – as a redshirt, and then play a full season after that. Thats two season on the field – one a redshirt, one as a starter.
He has 5 years to play 4 full and 1 redshirt. Jalen has decided that playing full season this year at Alabama and redshirting somewhere else next season is worth more to him than redshirting this season at Alabama and having a full 2 years at some stop TBD. And given the unique situation he and his team occupies, it’s actually pretty clever on his part. He remains a vital part of a potentially historic football season and he can sit down when it’s done – when he has a lot more information than he has now – and make a fully informed decision on how he uses those two years to meet his goals.
Jalen has decided that playing full season this year at Alabama and redshirting somewhere else next season is worth more to him than redshirting this season at Alabama and having a full 2 years at some stop TBD.
This literally makes zero sense.
Jalen has played 2 full seasons. Coming into this year, he had, by NCAA rule, 2 full seasons and 1 redshirt season left.
If he plays a full season this year, he will have two years remaining – one redshirt and one full. Jalen has clearly decided that using a full year this year is worth more to him and his goals than using his redshirt. He’d rather have a full season this year and save his redshirt season for something else.
You and Derek are locked in on the idea that only wise path Jalen can take is using his redshirt THIS season and then using his remaining 2 full seasons somewhere else. That’s the conventional wisdom everyone has been talking about since summer. And somehow, if Jalen does something different, it’s because Evil Saban deluded the poor boy. Jalen is surrounded by engaged, active adults who know football and who have talked in the press about making decisions in Jalen’s best interests.
Jalen was talked up a lot during last night’s UNC Miami game, in glowing terms. He’s rapidly becoming the poster child for Everything Right About College Football. Alabama has literally a global spotlight right now. He graduates in December. He wants to play. He’s making smart decisions for himself. I don’t give a crap about Saban, but it’s insulting as hell for Derek to act like Jalen is too stupid to make good decisions for himself.
Not that simplistic, this isn’t a 1 or 2 year situation. There is enough tape on him. As single year of opportunity, for most every one, will be enough. Only advantage of two for him is if he changes positions, accepting he isn’t going to be an NFL QB. Many, many better passers have failed to make that step, and he wasn’t even an above average passer in college, surrounded by great talent. If you need two years to reach that conclusion, sorry.
I agree about Hurts…see my post a few down.
Hurts is a junior and likely not in position for a graduate transfer. He will also get plenty of live reps against Lafayette, Arkansas, Tennessee, The Citadel, and possibly a couple other teams.
His game will improve and he will have options at the end of the season.
He graduates in December. If he doesn’t play in another game he has two years of eligibility. If he plays one more snap he goes from 2 years of eligibility to 1.
I believe this to be correct.
No, he has five years to play 4 no matter what decision he makes this year. Most grad transfer QBs don’t work out because they don’t have time to pick up the offense in a round of spring ball. Jalen could red shirt at his new home and spend a year learning the new system. Or hell, he could red shirt at Alabama next year and then compete for the starting gig once Tua turns pro.
He has way more options this way, not fewer.
The rumor is that he graduates in December at Bama and could be on campus as early as January. The question on Hurts is whether he will be on his next campus for 1 or 2 years. If he plays in one more game and graduates in December or May, he would only 1 season. If he pulled out now, he would potentially have 2 seasons of eligibility remaining assuming he graduates.
If he plans to change positions to play at the next level, having 2 seasons to hone his craft would probably be best. If he wants to play QB, he probably needs to stay and play as much as he can at Bama to prove to his next coach he can be a viable starter.
Thanks. I forgot Hurts was an early enrollee. And it’s a Bama degree.

Because Hurts will take a pay cut if he leaves Bama
I think we will see a lot more of this sort of thing, just as we will see a lot more players skipping meaningless bowl games. I have mixed emotions about it. On the one hand, I can’t blame the players for protecting themselves or attempting to maximize their earning potential down the road. On the other hand, you committed to a school and a team. As an old fart, that still means something to me and I think it ought to mean something to them as well. So I guess it’s just another indication that the game we’ve grown to know and love is becoming something that’s harder and harder to know and love. Just like the NFL. I quit watching the pros years ago. I guess the day is coming when I will no longer watch college football either. Too bad.
The Ncaa brought this on themselves. I’m guessing at some point you may have changed jobs for what you saw as greener pastures. I know I have. I’m guessing many on this board have. Things change…
I saw it put succinctly on twitter today:
Everyone in college football is out for themselves, but only the players get criticized for it
Everyone gets criticized for it. The NCAA revised redshirt rule was a bad rule and the law of unintended consequences is fully in play now. I think they will change the rule very soon, possibly after this season.
I think allowing players to play in 2 regular season games and any championship, bowl or playoff games without losing a year of eligibility would be a good compromise. Of course they didn’t ask me and probably won’t.
It would be a better plan, I agree. If you are going to let them play 1/3 of a season, why not go all the way and give them 5 years? Between injuries and being beaten out by better competition, not that many guys will play 60 games in college. But it does play havoc with those who want to compare career records. Just like Herschel gets slighted because they didn’t count bowl game yardage and scores when he played. How hard is to add those three games in and talk apples to apples? Perhaps per game numbers is the better measurement anyway.

Anyone else think Bryant is a snowflake? A HC, who’s job is to put his team in the best position to win games, chooses the best QB for the TEAM (in the coaches minds) and this INDIVIDUAL (Bryant) calls it a slap in the face? So is a slap in the face better if its to one player (Bryant) or 85 (Team)?
I think Dabo handled it poorly. And I think Bryant wants to play meaningful football, since he’s kind of dedicated his life to that up to this point. And I think a coach like Dabo, who constantly wants media pats on the back for putting the personal needs of players first, even above results, and who probably sells that during recruiting, is going to risk locker room perceptions of hypocrisy when he’s benching a senior QB who is winning games now for a true freshman QB who might give Clemson a better shot to beat an Alabama team that Clemson might run into in the playoffs.
This was a huge gamble by Dabo on two fronts. He’s already lost the first bet. We’ll see how the second one goes.
And what if Lawerence gets hurt or just has a really off day..This will look like a really bad move.
^This.
QB’s haven’t just started transferring….just that the Ncaa changed the rules…makes it easier mid year to make the call. Saves a year of eligibility.
I don’t get why people keep comparing these situations as if they’re the same. Clemson’s is different from Georgia’s is different from Alabama’s. Next year, Georgia may well find itself in Alabama’s current situation.
I think Swinney has handled his situation okay. He had a senior who was given the opportunity to lock up the job and couldn’t, and he’s made the decision early enough for the senior to transfer if he wants to. A slap in the face would have been stringing Bryant along until he had no option other than to play out the season.
Don’t you think that Bryant had figured the number of games out when Lawrence was recruited? He wasn’t going to be caught in some Freshman Hope Chest while reality stared him, his family and friends in the face. It was figured out that he would do this long before Monday.
It’s exactly the situation that we have with Justin and Jake. If, at this time, we have a great Freshman QB substituted as starter for another QB with almost an exact similar record to Bryant’s, wouldn’t you consider it a slap in the face for Jake? It continues to be a touchy situation with these QBs and the path to fairness for both is narrow and strewn with tire flatteners. The path thus far keeps Jake as the starter and Justin to play at the O Coach’s whim. We all know that both players should play, but who is to say how that is accomplished?
Well, first off, QB record is a terrible metric. Maybe the team went 13-2 because of you or maybe in spite of you, or maybe it falls somewhere in between. In the vast majority of cases, it’s going to be that last option. And no, it’s not a slap in the face. If the other player outperforms you, the team’s record while you were the starter is irrelevant. Why should teams saddle themselves with a worse player at the most important position on the team just because he’s the incumbent?
So, If info coming from the players and coaches that Justin is a better athlete than Fromme, you think that Fromme should be replaced? I don’t, nor do I think that Fields should not get quality time.
There’s more to playing QB than athleticism. I would expect that for now, Fromm has a better understanding of the offense, and he’s clearly able to make the throws they want him to make. I also trust the coaches to make determinations based on what they see in practice. It’s entirely possible that Fromm will continue to outperform Fields even next year, but if he doesn’t, I don’t think he is entitled to the starting job based on what he did as a freshman and sophomore.

I’ll say it… Kelly Bryant sucks. He’ll suck on his next team too.
Trevor Lawrence is the better QB. The other three Clemson QBs that transferred saw that in the spring and bolted.
He doesn’t suck, but he’s not a good enough QB for Clemson to do more than win a shitty ACC.
He’s not even a good game manager.
Based on…?
Border Dawg
The only real team Clemson has played this year, who put pressure on the QBs, was Texas A&M. I saw an experienced college QB outplay a true freshman. Lawrence was throwing everything at his receivers feet. If Bryant hadn’t played in that game, I’m not so sure Clemson would have won. Yes, Trevor Lawrence is a generational talent throwing the ball. Can he handle an aggressive defense? We shall see
I agree, but go look at Clemson’s schedule. They have the opportunity to bring Lawrence along, and have him prepared for the playoffs. They can even lose a regular season game, win the conference, and still make the playoffs.
Bryant won’t beat Bama, but Lawrence might.
“Does anybody really think things would be different in Athens than they are at Clemson had Fromm been benched in favor of Fields?”
I do because I believe Jake Fromm would not leave. I think he’d fight to get his job back. Can’t base it on much besides my gut feeling about Fromm’s makeup and character.
And I say that not as a knock on Bryant’s makeup or character. The circumstances at Clemson are different enough from UGA that I don’t really begrudge Bryant his decision.
This is what I hope would happen if Fields beats Fromm out next year. Hopefully, Jake, being a longtime UGA fan, would want to stay and compete for his spot, rather than bail out. Wouldn’t blame him if he did, but it sure would be nice to be able to have both guys.
I am not so sure on that. Not because of Jake but because of his dad. His younger brothers transferred from Houston County to Warner Robins HS because of a coaching change at HOCO. Jake transferring from UGA wouldn’t even require the Fromm’s to move to a new school district. If Fields beats out Fromm I have a feeling Jake would be advised by his father to transfer.
Bat City Dawg
I mentioned this in the playpen, I just don’t know what Bryant gains here other than playing time. He was setup to succeed last year with a playoff caliber team, yet was merely an above average game manager. What does he expect to show NFL scouts if he wins the starting job at a lesser program? If he stayed we would be a bad hit away from being the man again, what if he came in and won the ACC CG or a playoff game?
And we wonder why schools pay Saban, Kirby, Dabo etc. the big bucks instead of just letting the fans and media decide these QB issues and who has a pulled groin or a broken leg. It was decided before he was a high school junior that Lawrence would be the best QB for whichever school he played for and no coach’s evaluation would be needed. This is all just a sign of the times; excess blather, recruiting news profit and every QB is an NFL prospect (not).
I think Dabo made some promises to Lawrence during recruiting. Dabo could have continued his QB platoon for the rest of the regular season. Bryant seemed ok with it. Lawrence was clearly developing in his back up role.
Maybe Lawrence develops even faster now, but he and his team will now have to do it without a safety net. The fact Dabo felt the need to take that risk is the odd thing here. The cited reason is that Dabo felt morally obligated to give Kelly the option to transfer, but again, Kelly was fine sharing the position, and sharing the position wasn’t holding Lawrence back. He was getting better weekly.
Just a really weird situation all around.
Or maybe Lawrence has demonstrated himself to be a better downfield passer, making their offense more dynamic. There doesn’t have to be a conspiracy when you can merely look at their production and obviously see why the change was made.
Isn’t Justin considered a better downfield passer than Jake?
Based on what?
Reports from players, coaches and observers? Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have answers nor do I promote one over the other. I confess to liking Fromme because he has unforgettable history with us that will give us great memories and hope during any play on the field, no matter the situation spelled out by pundits or outsiders trying to divide us.
My point is that it is not a “settled” situation that is unlike Clemson or, as some like to project, ‘Bama.
I haven’t seen quotes from people stating that Fields is a better downfield passer.
You’re missing my point.
Before Dabo made the change, he had:
Bryant providing leadership and stability. Lawrence developing as a passer. A crap schedule that they could handle with a WR like Renfrow playing QB.
After the change, Dabo has:
No Bryant. Lawrence developing as a passer. And now Dabo reportedly actually is devoting at least a portion of practice time to running Renfrow at QB, just in case.
Lawrence was never going to leave or stop getting better week by week. Dabo already had that. He didn’t gain that with this move.
Dabo lost Bryant. He gained nothing in return. Why?
As I said, weird.
Maybe he thinks Lawrence is fully ready and not “developing”. I just don’t think naming your best QB the official starter is weird. Will he regret it if Lawrence gets hurt? Maybe.
If Kirby made a decision today that sent Fields or Fromm packing immediately, would you say that was a smart thing on his part?
Georgia needs both. Clemson needs both. It’s Dabo’s job to manage that. He didn’t.
Somebody give Dabo Stetson’s phone number.
The new 4 games without losing red-shirt rule will contribute to a coming trend of kids deciding they aren’t going to ride the pine. They will get a taste of the field and may have a great game or two. “Why should I sit” will become a question “He’s better than our starter”, will become a point of discussion on coaching staff meetings.
For Kelly Bryant, the choice was so obvious that he didn’t even need to hesitate. While he shouldn’t have criticized his coach, his fate was sealed barring an injury to Lawerence. (who will be great). And judging from Bryant’s words, he may have now have a bad attitude. Not good for Clemson.
It may become, (and probably should be) more and more difficult for schools to hoard talent.
Should, or will kids look at what they’re facing and decide it’s not in their interest to ride the pine for a couple of years?
I think so. But they should realize it before they sign, not after being in the program for a couple of years.
We might need to realize how fortunate we are at UGA, as the “Death Star” building industry may be in it’s hay-day and soon declining. We may be on the trailing edge, but at least we’re on it right now.
College football will be changed if this becomes a trend.
There will still be programs that get great recruiting classes, but the depth and satisfaction of having more talent than you can even field could be a thing of the past.
“Parity” may become a trendy term again.
Then again, things may just rock on as they are. I can live that as long as Georgia is one of the builders.
Good post and one that appeals to reasoning. I don’t think we are anywhere near being out of the woods for a repeat of this at UGA. I don’t think it’s fair to put Fromme in the position of being a hero to help solve it either. He has a right to an expectant future the same as Fields and traversing this territory is going to create human behavior of resentment among many factions.

So only graduate transfers don’t have to sit out a year AFTER they transfer…So if a sophomore decides to leave who has not graduated he will still have to sit out a year per NCAA rules. Only graduate transfers (typically JR/SR players)would benefit using a redshirt for the 4 games they played and then transfer. They will not have to sit out a year at their next school and saved a year of eligibility. A junior graduate transfer could have two years of eligibility at his next school (5 years to play 4, taking redshirt JR year)
Leaving after the 4th game takes you away from practice or live reps for at least six months, while your future competition at QB continues to improve their game.
The risk is larger than it appears on the surface.
They know they have to keep working out for their future. If they want it, they will do it – whatever it takes. Think of it as an injury that a player has to come back for and the things he has to do to overcome it.
Not sure UGA has dodged this bullet at all, Kirby has handled ti well but this seems the lull before the storm to me. Unlike both Clemson and Alabama, we two excellent QBs, one year apart, who can command the entire offense, and be the offensive leader. Hurts was clearly lacking the passing ability required so that wasn’t a hard choice at all. Bryant was an average passer, and seemed to lack the inspirational skills to be the leader Clemson needed. Not as easy a call as Saban’s but one that could cause disharmony.
Kirby’s decision seems much tougher. Both of his guys have top flight skills, able to run the offense and seem to have the leadership skills required. One has vastly more experience and a proven track record in big games than the other, but Fields has shown up well prepared and not lacking in his limited opportunities. I don’t see a big issue this season, but the off season could get dicey if neither takes a step back. Get your popcorn, but expect high drama by May of 2019.
we may have two qbs that can command the entire offense. Not trying to discredit Fields, and it isn’t his fault he hasn’t been given more opportunities to really run the offense yet, but one read and then scramble is what i have seen, and that isn’t full command of the offense. He is on pace, but more game proof is required, IMO.
I agree, taken in it’s totality, I think UGA’s two QB’s are better, an not by just a little.
Hell, it may get interesting in Red Stick…
We may have two QBs with full command of the office. It is meant as no disrespect to Justin, but I can only judge what I have seen in real games, and one read and then scramble is not full command of the offense. I hope he gets legit time to show he can operate the full playbook, but at this point we have not seen it, though clearly we all believe he has the potential
I think you are exactly right Mac. I think we will have high drama next year, but it might not be fun to watch. A split locker room is the only thing that can stop this team next year.
On the one hand, it’s the sort of problem you want as a coach. But it can blow up in your face.
I agree. My only additional question would be what happens if Fields’ reps dwindle with the schedule ticking up in difficulty and we get to the end of the year without Fields seeing meaningful moments on the field.
Will Kirby play Fields enough to keep him engaged and happy? He’s thrown one pass so far in SEC play. UT and Vandy are probably his last chance this year to get SEC reps, and then he’ll probably be shelved until UMass and GaTech.
So, I think the intrigue starts about two seconds after the SEC Championship Game. If Georgia is playoff bound, it’s going to be in large part because of Fromm. And if Georgia isn’t playoff bound, then the bowl game is basically Spring Practice I.
As you said, high drama.
It is my understanding that CKS has already had to have meetings with both the Fromm & Fields parents. I think this is already a smoking gun. I hope we can hold on to both of these kids for the duration. But I agree with some of the earlier comments that Justin needs to play more meaningful snaps, not just handing the ball off to run out the clock. Glad this isn’t my call, but then I don’t make $7 mil a year either to make the call..
With the new redshirt rule Fields can still be the backup and also redshirt as long as he doesn’t play in too many games. That effectively puts a year between Fromm and Fields. Like what CMR did with Murray and Mason only Fields gets into some games too. It doesn’t look like that is going to happen this season but sure it might next season.
*another year
sorry for the duplicate-ish response
We understand. Sometimes when I post, the post isn’t printed. I have to leave and bring up the conversation again before seeing it posted. Don’t know whether my computer is slowing or if it’s the site.
It’s not your computer Cojo, I have the same experience. It just started happening recently.
This is all speculation but I guess that Bryant believes it a slap in the face because he probably did everything that the coaching staff asked to mentor Lawrence. I would have guessed that during Spring and Fall camp, the coaching staff was in Bryant’s ear telling him that Lawrence was too good to keep off the field but don’t worry about it – you are the starter. We just want to get him reps to make sure he is ready – just in case. So don’t worry and don’t complain, Lawrence is going to play.
However, I anticipate the conversation Swinney had with Bryant after naming Lawrence the starter didn’t commit to giving Bryant playing time unless the situation warranted it – because Lawrence is inexperienced and needs as many reps as possible.
It’s not like Bryant has played poorly or Clemson is stuggling – they are not so Bryant probably wonders why they made the change.
I don’t think Swinney deserves any kudos for the timing of it … he was planning on Bryant staying and disagrees with Bryant’s decision. I think they wanted Lawrence to be the starter and if they waited to after Saturday you always run the risk of Bryant playing lights out against Syracuse and having even more of a controversy.
Nobody here thinks Dabo was hoping Bryant would leave?
And be left with only one QB, somewhat unproven, in the midst of what looks like a cakewalk to the playoffs? He isn’t dumb, and that would be really stupid of him. I think he did it this week to not look like a total dick and leave Bryant hanging. Heard him on an interview today, said he didn’t think Bryant would leave but felt he couldn’t take away that decision from him. Also said Lawrence had been there since January and had made continual progress and had finally passed Bryant, and it was obvious to the staff. He said it happens all the time at other positions and the media doesn’t send satellite trucks and demand interviews and explanations.
I like how the quoted piece says Kirby turned to Fromm over Eason with no mention of Eason’s injury. Yeah, Kirby had to make a tough decision about who to start once Eason got healthy, but for the first several games the decision was made for him. It’s not exactly apples to apples with Dabo’s situation.
Yeah, the article was weak. Kirby has done nothing wrong, but I think he’s also been a little lucky with the changes. Eason to Fromm decision was made for him, and then Fromm showed he was up for the task so Kirby decided to go with the flow. It might get real interesting next season, or the first time the offense really stalls with Fromm at the helm.
Dabo could’ve been a real dick and started Bryant the next game, essentially sealing his fate. But instead, he announced Lawrence was taking over before the 5th game. He had to know Bryant leaving was a possibility, yet he took the risk. Not sure what else he could have done.
Do you think Swinney is concerned if Bryant leaves? Perhaps. Was it wise or whatever for him to announce Lawrence is the starter in a game to an opponent to whom they lost last year on the road? I’ll give Dabo some credit, because he recruits very well, he has a national championship won against Bama [something we did not do], and his record [plus staff and players] if very very good.
So Dabo changes QB, another sports writer makes a comparison to a situation at UGA. Dumb. Hello, please Maria Taylor write a story adding to this one.
Let’s say Lawrence is at UGA rather than Fields, and Fields is at Clemson.
Now how would that story go.
Better get this down. Trevor Lawrence is a player. Look at his skill sets, his high school performance is a very good scheme and coaches, and his field presence and leadership.
Would I start him over Bryant at this time in the season. Why yes. So why did Bryant come to the conclusion to leave, actually, he left the door open. But Dabo is closing it based on 2018 and forward performance. All QBs behind Lawrence are going to be parked there for awhile.
Is he better than Fromm at this point in his first season. They are both very good. Much has been said about his passes to the sideline. They are stellar. But this year his deep ball is there, too.
Fields is a talent, but so are Lawrence and Fromm.
You are not going to see RBs carrying a ball 25+ a game over the course of a season anymore in the SEC. It is a grind against current defenses, the schemes, and the number of plays teams run over 4 quarters
Likewise, the day of a single starting QB could be over, too. Spinning the ball 40, 50 + game over a season is a grind to. Taking hits while dropping back and/or running will take a toll over a season.
So where will he go? Arkansas? Tech? Miami? Vandy?
Can’t blame him. Now he can switch to someplace like Virginia or UCLA and his degree won’t say clemson at the top. That in itself is a really smart move.
He should transfer to Auburn..he will instantly become a Heisman candidate.
Yes, thinks Fromm would at least give it a year and fight for it (job). That is who he is imo, a fighter.

Marsha Zazula, who cofounded Megaforce Records in 1983 with her husband Jon (Jonny Z), died today at age 68, her daughter confirmed. No cause of death was revealed.
“RIP Mom April 21, 1952 -January 10, 2021 Your love, Your strength, Your memory and Your music has changed lives and will continue to FOREVER,” wrote Rikki Zazula in a Facebook post.
Jon and Marsha Zazula were an American success story, rising from humble beginnings at a flea market record store to create a pioneering record label.
Megaforce is credited for launching the career of the multiplatinum band Metallica by releasing its first two albums, 1983’s Kill ‘Em All and 1984’s Ride the Lightning. The label’s storied roster included such important heavy bands as Anthrax, Testament, Overkill, Ministry, King’s X, Stormtroopers of Death and Raven.
The Megaforce story started in a New Jersey flea market record store, Rock N Roll Heaven. Legend has it that the couple received a tape of an unsigned band called Metallica, which led Marsha and Jon to found Megaforce. The label was eventually sold for multiple millions to Island Records.
No details were immediately available on memorial plans.

Why the U.S. accuses Russia and China of space weaponization
dpoint | 03/08/2020 16:04
Washington has made startling accusations that Russia & China “have already turned space into a war-fighting domain,” but what’s really going on is the US is attempting to distract from its own controversial space militarization.
By Finian Cunningham*
There is also a sequence of events reflecting Washington’s increasingly hysterical hostility towards Russia and China in which all events are perceived through an obsessive American lens of “hybrid warfare.” An additional factor is the intensified US demand to include China in arms control talks with Russia, which resumed this week.
The claim made against Russia and China by Christophe Ford, a State Department arms control envoy, comes against the backdrop of President Trump announcing the establishment of a new Space Force Command earlier this year. That move by the Trump administration flies in the face of decades-long advocacy at the United Nations by Russia and China to keep weapons out of space.
The 1967 UN Outer Space Treaty forbids weaponization in the outer atmosphere. Thus, America’s renewed efforts through its Space Force Command are arguably illegal. Allegations from Washington that Moscow and Beijing have turned space into a war-fighting domain appear to turn reality on its head.
Karl Grossman, a professor at the State University of New York who has written extensively on the subject, says that Russia and China have consistently advocated for the expansion of the existing UN treaty to ban not only the placement of weapons of mass destruction but also for a prohibition on any weaponization in outer space.
“The United States has repeatedly voted against this effort, essentially casting a veto at the UN,” Grossman said. It would seem therefore that America’s claims are motivated by a need to obscure its own controversial militarization of the “final frontier.”
On July 15, the US and Britain accused Russia of testing an anti-satellite weapon in space. Moscow denied this, saying it was carrying out an in-orbit satellite “inspection” by another one of its own satellites. The US Space Force Command acknowledges it was a “non-destructive event” but nevertheless alleged it was an attempt by Russia to deploy a “bullet” in space.
“Inspection of satellites” could of course be a euphemism for gaining the capacity to spy on other nations’ space vehicles. The US is reportedly involved in developing the same kind of surveillance activity against foreign satellites. But for the Americans to accuse Russia of testing a space-based “anti-satellite weapon” seems to be a provocative stretch.
Notably, the report of the alleged Russian weapon test was followed immediately by sonorous statements hailing the establishment last year of the US Space Force “to deter aggression and defend the nation.”
Grossman says: “The new US Space Force is, I’d say desperately, trying to justify itself and thus its announcement that Russia conducted an anti-satellite weapons test needs to be considered in this context.”
But there is more to the sequence of events. Last week, on July 23, China launched its first rover to explore Mars. If the mission succeeds in landing on the Red Planet in seven months, it will be seen as a breakthrough achievement by China, putting the country on par with the US in space exploration. The Chinese launch came a week before NASA blasted off its new rover to Mars which is due to reach the planet in February around the same time as China’s.
It seems significant that Christophe Ford, the US arms control envoy, first made his announcement accusing Russia and China of weaponizing space the day after China’s historic Mars mission launch. Given the closely overlapping engineering shared by space rocketry and ballistic missiles, it could, therefore, be loosely argued that a Mars mission by China has military dimensions. (As would all American missions, if using the same tenuous reasoning.)
However, in the present context of rampant accusations against Russia and China of waging “hybrid war,” including everything from “meddling in elections to subvert US democracy” to “unleashing a virus pandemic to destroy American capitalism,” it is not hard to see how in Washington’s mindset events in space could be construed as yet more hybrid warfare. American paranoia is simply going extraterrestrial.
Another important factor in the sequence is the resumption of arms control talks this week in Vienna between the US and Russia. These negotiations are aimed at extending the New START accord limiting strategic weapons. Washington is pushing the Russian side to lever China into joining a new trilateral arms control agreement. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo admitted in a recent keynote speech that Washington was seeking Russia’s help in curbing China’s nuclear arsenal. Moscow has indicated that such a trilateral accord with China, considering its relatively smaller arsenal, is not relevant at this stage in bilateral negotiations between the US and Russia over New START.
The US warned it would bring up the issue of Russia’s alleged anti-satellite weapon at the arms control talks this week in Vienna.
It seems the US is using claims about space weaponization not only to distract from its own illicit program, but also to undermine Russia in arms talks as a way to pressure Moscow into accommodating Washington’s overbearing demands regarding China.
That does not augur well for a successful arms control agreement or for global security. A foreboding case, so to speak, of ‘watch this space’.

1 Comment on MS. DHONI
Mahendra Singh Dhoni, is a former Indian international cricketer who captained the Indian national team in limited-overs formats from 2007 to 2016 and in Test cricket from 2008 to 2014.Born: 7 July 1981 (age 39 years), Ranchi ODI debut (cap 158): 23 December 2004 v Bangladesh debut (cap 251): 2 December 2005 v Sri Lanka Last ODI: 9 July 2019 v New Zealand T20I debut (cap 2): 1 December 2006 v South Africa Last T20I: 27 February 2019 v Australia
MS, Mahi, MSD, Thala, Captain Cool, Mahendra Singh Dhoni! Footballer in school, later Traveling Ticket Examiner, Cricketer, Army man, Businessman! The more things seem clear about Dhoni, the more enigmatic (even Bharat Sundaresan couldn’t unravel much in his book, as he himself accepted in the closing chapters) he remains.
The man has offered us so many moments to cherish both on the field and off it. The most raved of it all has to be the six that won the 2011 World Cup (needless to say Ravi Shastri’s voice served as the most perfect accompaniment one could wish for). It was a gamble they said when he promoted himself up the order, ahead of Yuvraj Singh. But that was characteristic of MS, always prone to the route not taken and stumping (another characteristic feature) us all on almost every occasion. Things did go wrong at times but that never deterred the man from trusting his instincts. He was the same in pleasure and pain, victory or gain, always managing to stay in the present. Cool as a cucumber they say and so was he.
All these qualities kept paying rich dividends for him, the team and the country. The acme of it all – the night of 2nd April 2011 – lifting the World Cup after 28 years.

He is also the present captain of Chennai Super king in the Indian Premier League.
Dhoni is wicket-keeper batsman and bats in the middle order. Dhoni is one of the few cricketers with more than 10,000 runs in ODIs.

The isle of smiles – Cruise Passenger reviews Fiji
Bernadette Chua 2 Oct 2015
The sun is beating down on Port Denarau while 80 passengers board the Reef Endeavour. “Bula,” boom the staff as they hand out colourful cocktails.
I’d heard that bula is the only word you really need to know to communicate with the people of Fiji. And it certainly seems
Captain Cook Cruises’ Reef Endeavour is a beautiful small white ship catering for up to 130 guests, with 43 crew ranging from the bar staff to excursion leaders.
The passengers are a mix of Kiwis, Aussies and a solitary Swiss woman. There are families with young children, older couples and a multigenerational group with parents, children and grandparents.
People have come from far and wide to experience the magic of Fiji, with the option of a four- or seven-day itinerary to explore some of the more remote islands.
Reef Endeavour has three large sundecks and lounges where most of the guests spend time soaking up the Fijian sun. Before dinner, we congregate at the Yasawa Lounge for canapés and return later for a nightcap.
Below deck is the dining area where a buffet breakfast, lunch and dinner are served. Breakfast is free seating and in the evenings, when passengers dine onboard, the hospitality manager will seat you with other guests so you get to know everyone.
The decor is retro chic – tropical-themed carpet, curtains and linen. The cabins range in size with the largest on the top deck. My Tabua Suite has a king bed, dresser and small bathroom filled with Pure Fiji products. It’s not spacious, but there is so much going on,
I don’t spend much time in my cabin.
Each day, the itinerary revolves around island hopping and scuba diving, snorkelling, paddleboarding, kayaking or just relaxing on the beach.
On the first afternoon, we are tendered to Tivua Island. The tiny island, operated by Captain Cook, has white sandy beaches, small huts and crystal clear waters where guests can snorkel before heading to the bar for some Fiji Gold beers. It is a scene straight out of a travel brochure.
As the sun starts to set, it’s back to the Reef Endeavour for the Captain’s Welcome Dinner. I’m seated with two couples from Australia and Clayton, the ship’s American diving instructor, who has been travelling the world for the past 11 years.
Denise and Peter from Canberra tell me it’s their first time on a cruise and, so far, the experience is getting rave reviews. “We’ve seen heaps of kids onboard so it would be a nice idea to bring our children and their children,” Peter says.
While we enjoy a three-course dinner with three options per course, our crew welcomes us with some traditional Fijian dances and songs. The crew is multitalented and can not only shake a cocktail, but also serenade the guests.
Day two and it’s another glorious morning. Unfortunately, for morning snoozers, breakfast is served early so guests can make the most of their day. It’s a hearty meal and the same every day: eggs cooked any way you want, with bacon, sausages, baked beans and potatoes, as well as fruit, cereal, pancakes, toast and Danish pastries.
After breakfast, Clayton hangs out in the Yasawa Lounge to tell guests what they can expect to see if they opt for a scuba diving adventure.
While everyone else is tendered to shore, I opt to stay aboard and head to the Senikai Spa for a full-body massage. The spa is small, about the size of my cabin, with two staff who do everything from couples’ massages to facial therapy. Aggie, my masseuse, hits all the right spots. The Senikai Spa uses its own brand of oils and products from Pure Fiji. Prices range from about $60 for a pedicure to $240 for the works – facial and massage.
After a relaxing massage, it’s time for some scuba diving instruction. Clayton teaches me and other first-time divers how to breathe and equalise our ears as we dive deeper. After half an hour, we’re ready. Dives are scheduled for the morning and the afternoon, depending on where the ship drops anchor and instructors take novices down to explore Fiji’s beautiful reef system.
It is a healthy ecosystem unlike many other reefs in the world that have been ravaged by tourism. Dives cost $180 and it is worth every cent if you’re game to try.
For those who prefer to stay on the surface, one the highlights of the cruise is
a visit to the Gunu village on Naviti Island, where the locals set up shell markets for guests to buy souvenirs.
The most charming part of the village is meeting the children who are thrilled to chat with foreigners. “Hello, what’s your name? Where are you from?” they chant as they show us around.
We are treated to a traditional kava ceremony and welcomed by the village elders. Kava is a local mildly intoxicating drink made from the root of a vegetable and used for ceremonial proceedings. After the ceremony, we are served a traditional Fijian dinner of palusami, a local specialty made with corned beef, coconut milk, spinach and tomatoes, cooked underground. It is surprisingly delicious. We also feast on roast pork, fish, potatoes, cassava and salads, and it’s an excellent chance to meet some of the locals. Captain Cook Cruises encourages guests to buy handicrafts or donate money to help villages develop infrastructure or buy supplies for the schools.
Day three and the Reef Endeavour has made its way to the Blue Lagoon, which the famous Brooke Shields movie was named after. The day’s highlight is a visit to the Ratu Namasi School, where the children’s choir performs traditional Fijian songs. Seven-year-old Elizabeth takes my hand and shows me around her classroom.
The school sits at the foot of Mount Tamasua and the views from the top are worth the climb. It’s the perfect place to get some snaps of the Blue Lagoon.
That evening, I’m seated with Captain Simon Estella, who has been at the helm of the Reef Endeavor for just a month. He tells me he has toured the world with shipping companies and was most recently stationed in Paraguay. He has also finished the Sydney to Hobart yacht race numerous times.
Captain Estella now spends half of his time with his family in Melbourne and the other half on the Reef Endeavour.
“This is a real family ship. I brought my family on board during my second week and my 14-year-old twin boys had an absolute ball. They loved all the water activities and the staff treat everyone like family,” he says.
The entertainment for the evening is a movie on the big screen under the stars.
Day four is sadly our last on the Reef Endeavour. We visit Yaqeta Island to swim and snorkel, while divers have one last chance to visit the reef. It’s a sad day for families whose children have made friends and will soon have to say goodbye. Two Kiwi girls who live three hours apart have already made vows of life-long friendship.
On our last night, we are treated to a Fijian barbecue and gambling local-style – hermit-crab racing. Bidding on the crabs can get into the hundreds. My group’s crab comes second (after a lot of heckling) and we donates the winnings to the villages Captain Cook visits.
The following morning, after some tearful good byes, numbers exchanged and more singing from the staff, we are tendered back to Port Denaru to go our separate ways.
Fiji is a magical destination and for the 80 passengers, it was an experience like none other.

Chinese Gov’t Reiterates Strict Stance On Crypto, Focuses On Illegal Fundraising
The Chinese government China reaffirmed its strict stance on ICOs and crypto in a recent statement claiming to combat illegal fundraising.
The Chinese government has recently reiterated its negative stance towards Initial Coins Offerings (ICOs) and cryptocurrency exchanges at a news conference in Beijing, claiming that financial authorities will continue to monitor private lenders’ interest rates, securities companies, and futures firms to combat illegal fundraising, Reuters reports April 23.
In a joint statement provided by several regulators, the People’s Bank of China (PBoC) stated that it will continue to fight risks from internet financing and highlighted that ICO projects and trading platforms have been closed to the benefit of public safety.
According to the joint statement, the regulations have managed to partly reduce illegal fundraising in China, however, “the situation remains severe.” According to China’s supreme court, illegal fundraising imposes immense harm to the national market and financial security.
By focusing on combating illegal fundraising, Chinese regulators seek to protect the public from falling victim to scams, stressing the that some people have lost their life savings. The Chinese government banned cryptocurrency trading and ICOs in late 2017 as an illegal fundraising method, and reaffirmed its negative stance towards the market this year.
On April 11, Chinese online shopping website Taobao, a subsidiary of retail giant Alibaba, announced it will be banning stores on the platform from providing services related to ICOs, citing risks of illegal fundraising and easy speculation.
In the Chinese special administrative region of Macau, the Monetary Authority recently warned the public about the possibility of “fraud and criminal activities” in cryptocurrencies. The warning followed revelations that Macua Dragon Group employed Cambridge Analytica to promote Dragon Coin, a new virtual currency for gamblers to transfer money to Macau casinos.

Once Upon a Time in Hollywood: Bruce Lee’s daughter blocks Chinese release of Quentin Tarantino film – The Independent, Independent
The Chinese release ofQuentin Tarantino‘sOnce Upon a Time in Hollywoodhas been abruptly cancelled, following an appeal byBruce Lee‘s daughter over the film’s controversial depiction of her father.
According to theHollywood Reporter,Shannon Leedirectly appealed to China’s National Film Administration to pull the film’s release and demand that Tarantino edit the film to depict her father in a more positive light.
As a result of Lee’s appeal, the 25 October release of the film has been indefinitely put on hold, with the film’s Chinese backers Bona Film Group “frantically working with Tarantino ”to alter the film.
We’ll tell you what’s true. You can form your own view.
From 15 P € 0. 18 $ 0. 18 USD 0. 27 a day, more exclusives, analysis and extras.
The work is described as “a last-minute scramble” that has seen Tarantino and Bona editing the film in a rush in order to get release approval from the National Film Administration. If they sign off on the changes, the 25 October release date may stick.
Shannon Leepublicly condemned Tarantino in July, when she said that she felt the film depicted her father as a “caricature” and an “arrogant a ** hole who was full of hot air”.
leftCreated with Sketch. rightCreated with Sketch.
She also said that it was a shame that he wasn’t depicted as “someone who had to fight triple as hard as any of those people did to accomplish what was naturally given to so many others ”.
She added that her experience of watching the film was “uncomfortable”, as she had to listen to people “laugh at my father”.
In the film, Bruce Lee is played by actor Mike Moh and depicted as an arrogant Hollywood newcomer who challengesBrad Pitt‘s stuntman character to a fight, only to be thrown into a parked car.
Tarantino himselfclaimed that the depiction was fair, calling Lee “kind of an arrogant guy ”, based on the research he conducted in advance of writing the scene.
Prior to its cancellation,Once Upon a Time in Hollywood‘s Chinese release would have marked the first time a Tarantino movie had been widely released in cinemas in the country.

Home K-nine news Scotland misses the mark with new dog welfare legislation
Scotland misses the mark with new dog welfare legislation
Victoria Heywood
Scotland led the way when it came to ending the practice of tail docking, when the nation was the first and only one in the UK to ban any breed outright from undergoing this painful, unnecessary, and wholly cosmetic procedure.
Yesterday, that decision was sadly revised. The Scottish Government announced new provisions would make docking legal for working dogs deemed to be at risk of injury, such as spaniels and other gun dog types.
Paula Boyden, Dogs Trust Veterinary Director, said, “Dogs Trust is deeply concerned about the announcement that the Scottish Government will allow certain breeds of dogs to be docked. Amputating a puppy’s tail is a painful procedure but it is also unnecessary. Research by the Royal Veterinary College suggests that 500 dogs would need to have their tails docked to prevent one tail injury.
“Tail docking takes place when puppies are just a few days old and so we also question how it can be ensured that only puppies that will go on to be working dogs will have their tails docked.”
Tails are also considered a vital element of canine expression – one that is robbed by the practice of docking.
The Scottish Government’s new welfare legislation also made no provision for an outright ban of electronic collars – shock and spray -something that had been widely expected in yesterday’s announcement.
Instead, electronic collars will face greater regulation.
Environment Secretary, Roseanna Cunningham,“We have consulted extensively on a number of issues and we will now improve our legislation by regulating the use of electronic training collars. There is evidence that these devices can cause suffering so they will only be permitted for use as a last resort and under the guidance of an approved trainer or vet.”
It was hoped that Scotland would follow Wales – the Welsh Assembly prohibited the use of shock collars in 2010 – but it wasn’t be so. Electric shock collars are a form of aversive training, deemed in modern times to be a cruel and outdated line of thought. A 2014 study by the University of Lincoln demonstrated that shock collars are no better at improving or eliminating behaviours than positive methods, and can actually cause a great deal of stress and fear to a dog. Putting these devices in the hands of trainers instead of owners (hint: no good dog trainer uses shock collars) won’t change this.

China dubs Pompeo as ‘Mr. Liar’; dismisses US charge against Wuhan’s bio-lab as ‘conspiracy’
Top Israel court hears bids to bar Netanyahu from forming new govt
JERUSALEM: Israel‘s top court on Sunday started hearing arguments to bar Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu from forming a new government as he faces a criminal trial on corruption charges.
The Supreme Court will also hear petitions challenging a coalition deal with his rival-turned-partner Benny Gantz, who is currently speaker of the Knesset, Israel’s parliament.
Either case carries with it the danger of forcing another election, after three polls in less than a year failed to produce a government and left the country in a grinding political deadlock.
“Today we shall hear arguments on the question of bestowing the duty of forming a government on a Knesset member against whom an indictment has been filed,” Chief justice Esther Hayut said as she opened proceedings.
“Tomorrow there will be a hearing on the second issue, regarding the coalition agreement,” she said, sitting at the head of a panel of 11 judges, all wearing face masks in line with Covid-19 precautions.
The hearing was broadcast live on the court website.
Neither Netanyahu, the right-wing premier in power since 2009, nor the centrist ex-military chief Gantz, was able after a March election to form a viable governing coalition in the deeply divided 120-seat Knesset.
They agreed to a power-sharing deal last month, aiming to avert a fourth poll that is opposed across the political spectrum.
Under the three-year coalition deal, the government’s first six months will be dedicated primarily to combatting the novel coronavirus that has infected more than 16,000 Israelis and ravaged the economy.
But eight separate petitions to the Supreme Court seek to declare the deal illegal, including one from former Gantz ally Yair Lapid, head of the opposition Yesh Atid.
Lapid broke with Gantz last month when the ex-military commander was elected parliament speaker and decided to pursue a deal with Netanyahu.
As a long list of lawyers representing the eight petitioners and the dozens of respondents filed in front of the judges on Sunday, Israelis in protective masks protested near the courtroom and outside Netanyahu’s official Jerusalem residence.
Demonstrator Tmira Stareck said that his unsuitability for another term was so blatant that there should be no need for a court hearing.
“The very fact that we even need to discuss the obvious issue – a criminally-charged man forming a government is already a failure, it’s already abnormal,” she told AFP in Hebrew.
“Would you hire someone who is criminally charged? No. You wouldn’t even let him be the school janitor.
Sunday’s court session deals with indictments filed against Netanyahu in January.
The veteran premier has been charged with accepting improper gifts and illegally trading favours in exchange for favourable media coverage. He denies wrongdoing and his trial is set to start May 24.
Israeli law bars an indicted person from serving as an ordinary cabinet minister, but does not compel a criminally-charged prime minister to leave office.
The complication regarding Netanyahu is that he is not currently an ordinary prime minister. He has been serving as the caretaker head of a transitional government through Israel’s period of political deadlock.
According to some interpretations of Israeli law, that makes Netanyahu merely a candidate to become prime minister.
Interviewed on public radio on Saturday, energy minister and Netanyahu ally Yuval Steinitz said that if the court rules Netanyahu cannot serve, it would amount to “an unprecedented attack on Israeli democracy”.
The Gantz-Netanyahu agreement, Steinitz said, is “a necessity, the result of three election campaigns and a desire among Israelis to avoid a fourth election”.
The main argument against the coalition deal concerns specific provisions opponents say violate the law.
The agreement sees Netanyahu serving as prime minister for 18 months, with Gantz as his “alternate”, a new title in Israeli governance.
They will swap roles midway through the deal before likely taking voters back to the polls in 36 months.
But Israeli law traditionally endows governments with four-year mandates, an issue pounced on by the deal’s opponents.
There is also a provision freezing certain public appointments during the government’s initial six-month pandemic emergency phase, which critics also say is illegal.
An opinion delivered to the Supreme Court this week by Attorney General Avichai Mandelblit, who indicted Netanyahu, said that while “certain arrangements in the coalition agreement raise major difficulties… at this time there are no grounds to disqualify (it).”
He advised that problematic provisions be reviewed “at the implementation stage”.

Inaugural DEI Community Read Takes Up Racism, Slavery and Higher Education
By Tom Durso
As she planned the Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Community Read she will lead in the winter and spring terms, Amelia Hoover Green, PhD, sought to foster conversations between people of different backgrounds – to “put people in the metaphorical room,” as she says.
In choosing Ebony & Ivy, Craig Steven Wilder’s well-regarded examination of the historical role of race and slavery in American higher education, Hoover Green and the College of Arts and Sciences (CoAS) DEI Advisory Group are directing that conversation inward, to the university system of which Drexel is a part.
“The book doesn’t talk about Drexel directly, because it ends before we were founded, but the themes are just so present,” says Hoover Green, CoAS’ associate dean for diversity, equity and inclusion. “I think it’ll be a good conversation starter.”
The Community Read is being offered as a 1-credit special-topics course in politics in the winter and spring, open to all Drexel students. Community members and faculty, staff and alumni from the entire University are also invited to participate, at no cost. Meetings are from 6 to 6:50 p.m. on Thursdays and will be conducted via Zoom. Hoover Green will stick around afterward to facilitate information conversation.
With readings from Ebony & Ivy providing the backdrop, the course will examine and discuss the intersection of American colleges and universities with slavery, displacement and colonization. Guest lecturers from the University of Virginia, Swarthmore College, Michigan State University and Yale University, along with Drexel’s Linda Kim, PhD, associate professor of art history, and local speakers, will offer their perspectives and speak with Community Read participants. Drexel’s Writers Room, Lindy Center for Civic Engagement, Dornsife School of Public Health, and Libraries are assisting in outreach to community members.
“I am really hoping that people can come together and talk to one another about their experiences,” Hoover Green says. “I want to build some substantive bridges between the community and the University, and talk about the experiences of racially minoritized people in the University and in Philadelphia.”

Dating and fertility apps siphon data to advertisers
Published Wednesday, January 15, 2020
The Norwegian Consumer Council has found that 10 extremely popular Android apps are sharing user data, including details about sexual preferences, with at least 135 advertising companies.
A report by the council, 'Out of Control: How consumers are exploited by the online advertising industry' [PDF], found that the apps were not just gathering highly sensitive data, but passing it on to many advertising and marketing companies without full user knowledge and consent in what could be violations of European data protection law.
Finn Myrstad, director of digital policy for the Norwegian Consumer Council, told Reuters: “These practices are out of control and in breach of European data protection legislation. It is impossible for users to control this because the terms and conditions are really long and impossible to understand.”
The popular apps investigated for the report are: period-tracking apps Clue and My Days; dating apps Grindr, Happn, OkCupid, and Tinder; prayer aid Muslim-Qibla Finder; free children’s mobile game My Talking Tom 2; makeover app Perfect365; and keyboard app Wave Keyboard. Most of the apps transmit data to unexpected third parties, do not provide meaningful options for reducing data sharing, and have long, complex privacy policies that users are unlikely to read and understand.
Data collected by the apps were often unspecified, but includes sexual orientation, religious affiliation, ovulation, and sexual activity. The investigation saw data transmissions from the apps to 216 different domains, and at least 135 advertising companies.
The study found that dating apps were sharing uncomfortable quantities of personal data; for instance, OkCupid shares information related to sexuality, drug use, and political views with an analytics company.
The report singled out Grindr, the world’s most popular gay dating app, for sharing data with 18 third parties – including Google Crashlytics, Google Firebase, Tencent, Facebook, and Twitter’s MoPub – many of which reserve the right to pass this data on to many others in a “cascading data sharing” process. However, Grindr only lists MoPub as an advertising partner and advises users to read MoPub’s own privacy policy to understand how their data is used. MoPub has more than 160 partners, making it extremely difficult for Grindr users to understand which companies could acquire their personal data.
“Sharing location data for gay people can be risky in certain extreme circumstances,” Norwegian data protection commissioner Bjorn Erik Thon said, in a statement. “There are still some who do not want to be open about their orientation, and there are many countries in the world where being gay carries great risks.”
Grindr attracted controversy in 2018 when it was caught sharing users’ HIV status with third parties. It put an end to sharing health and ‘tribe’ information (e.g.: twink, bear, daddy, leather) following a GDPR complaint from the Norwegian Consumer Council to the Norwegian Data Protection Authority.
The council has filed a complaint against Grindr and the companies receiving data from it with the Norwegian data authority; the authority has stated that it is investigating whether data rules have been violated. The EU’s General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), which gives Europeans control over their own data, requires companies to disclose data collection, storage, sharing and processing.
According to the Norwegian Consumer Council’s report, the vagueness in Grindr’s privacy policy makes it “impossible” for users to know exactly what they are consenting to, and that by telling users to read the privacy policies of any third parties that receive data, Grindr is offloading accountability in a manner which violates GDPR.
Grindr challenged some details of the report and said that its privacy policy is shared with all users, who have control over what information they include in their profiles. A spokesperson said: “As the data protection landscape continues to change, our commitment to user privacy remains steadfast.”
The council’s report concludes that none of the apps and third parties investigated appear to fulfil the legal conditions for collecting valid consent from users: “Data subjects are not informed of how their personal data is shared and used in a clear and understandable way, and there are no granular choices regarding use of data that is not necessary for the functionality of the consumer-facing services.”
Concerns about how personal data is collected and shared without the knowledge and consent of the individuals have intensified since the Cambridge Analytica scandal, in which it emerged that the personal data of 87 million Facebook users had been collected and used to create political ad targeting tools based on psychological profiles.
“On a lot of social media apps that are not charging users for their service, the users are undoubtedly the product,” said James McQuiggan, a security awareness advocate at KnowBe4. “Their information is collected and sold off to third-party organisations for revenue […] only in recent years are governments finally taking action.”
In response to the report, a group of US civil rights and consumer groups (including Public Citizen, the Center for Digital Democracy, and the ACLU) have called for state and federal regulators to investigate the apps over their data sharing practices.

A Thriving American Jewish Garden
October 13, 2020 By eJP

By Rabbi Sara Luria
My maiden name is Pflantzer, which means planter in German. On my father’s side, we have a running joke that the reason we all get sea-sick is because we were meant to be firmly planted on dry land, as our name suggests. These days, I am leaning into my paternal ancestry and realizing that my work, as a rabbi and a founder, is to help plant the seeds (yearnings, desires, curiosities, and dreams) of the people I hope to serve. Together, we cultivate the soil. We do our best to take the gifts of God’s grace – sunlight and water, love and connection – and transform them into plants and trees, rituals and communities.
In Vayikra Rabbah (a midrash on Leviticus), we read, “The Holy One, from the very beginning of the creation of the world, only occupied Godself with planting first. Hence it is written in Genesis 2:8, ‘And God planted a garden in Eden.’ You also, when you enter into the land, only occupy yourselves with planting first.”
2020 has tossed us, unwittingly, into a different world. As we enter this new land, let us heed our midrash’s Divine advice and become planters. Perhaps, in this shift – when our past ways of doing business may no longer apply – we have just the opening we need to cultivate the patience, presence, loving attentiveness, long-term thinking, and flexibility of gardeners.
I haven’t always understood myself as a gardener; I have mostly been, what you might call, a ‘Jewish entrepreneur.’ I founded ImmerseNYC, a community mikveh project, in late 2012 with the hopes of building a robust, successful Jewish nonprofit organization. A few years later, when ImmerseNYC was lovingly absorbed by Rabbi Abby Treu as a project of the Marlene Meyerson JCC Manhattan, I co-founded Beloved Brooklyn, with similar hopes. These organizations have been incubated, accelerated, and generously supported by many foundations and major donors.
In strictly nonprofit organizational terms – scalability, growth of the budget, staff, and board, number of unique visitors – neither ImmerseNYC nor Beloved Brooklyn has been particularly successful. Yet, our work has blossomed in countless ways and, more importantly, I did not become a spiritual leader to speak in strictly nonprofit organizational terms. I often wonder about this conundrum – we are, by so many measures, thriving and yet, how do we communicate that when the traditional metrics of ‘budgets, butts, and buildings’ ring hollow? I speak often to leaders of flowering Jewish communities and organizations all over the country who are struggling with the same challenge.
Our Jewish communal institutions can meet this moment of collective transformation by shifting the way we conceptualize, communicate, and evaluate who we are and what we do. Calling myself a gardener is not just a sweet turn of phrase, it describes the actual work I’m doing better than ‘executive director’ or ‘entrepreneur.’ We are overdue for new metaphors, new shared language, new kinds of questions.
We might ask:
Are we helping to build a delicious, irresistible Jewish life for those who are dragged by their friend through our doors after leaving Judaism behind at their bat mitzvah?
Does a person feel beloved and cared for during their first 10 minutes in our orbit?
Are we creating conditions for tentative volunteers to transform into committed leaders?
Are we cultivating spaces where people can feel the contours of what a loving, inclusive world could be so they can, from a place of strength and generosity, go out and build a better world outside of our walls?
And then, once we have centered different language and new sets of questions, we can try to learn more about what is happening in the places where the answers are yes. Who are the planters growing fruit in mostly arid conditions? What have they learned; what can they teach? What language resonates with them? How do they understand what their job is? How might we resource their work?
In Small is Beautiful: Economics as if People Mattered, published in 1973, economist E.F. Schumacher, looked around at the western world of scaling, never-ending growth, and obsession with capital, and responded by advising, “Wisdom demands a new orientation… towards the organic, the gentle, the non-violent, the elegant and beautiful… Therefore, we must learn to think in terms of an articulated structure that can cope with a multiplicity of small-scale units.”
Perhaps, we can finally heed Schumacher’s advice and cultivate our Jewish garden, a multiplicity of small-scale units that are resilient, productive, and weather change effectively.
To cultivate a garden, we must grow fertile ground so that our seeds can blossom to their own, unique potential. Our larger organizations, foundations, and communities will need to offer deep, long-term support for a variety of new ideas and visions.
To cultivate a garden, we can recognize that some flowers bloom on their own every year and some will not make it through the winter and need to be replanted every spring. Some of our organizations will become self-sustaining and last 100 years; others will need ongoing investment.
To cultivate a garden, we will need to learn from gardeners who have come before us about how to orient ourselves towards ‘the organic, the gentle, and the beautiful.’ How can we allow for the ebb and flow of organizations based on what is best for the communities they are serving?
Many of us have been trying to plant seeds in nutrient-deprived soil. Yet, I am a perennial optimist! We already have the resources we need for a thriving American Jewish garden – visionary leaders, enough money, enlivening tradition/rituals/texts, so many people hungry for depth and community. What we need now is the will to transform our language and our priorities. We can start, as our midrash teaches, by “occupying ourselves with planting first.”
With gratitude to Rabbi Elan Babchuck, Tobin Belzer, and Isaac Luria for their incredibly generous and wise edits to this essay.
Sara Luria is a rabbi, founder, and, as you now know, planter of ideas and dreams. Right now, you can find her spending most of her time worrying about her kids and our democracy. She is also the spiritual leader of Beloved Brooklyn and a co-founder of the Beloved Network. Sara just moved to Northampton, MA with her family and their new puppy.

Our Story – Pure, PRemiUm Canadian nAtUral And Raw Honey
The story of Elias Honey all began with a small pot of creamed honey, sent in a care package from Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to a young Dietrich Elias in Western Europe in the late 1940s.
Displaced by the ravages of the Second World War, this sweet treat from Canada helped ease the daily hardship for young Dietrich and the Elias family.
A decade later, Dietrich and his family resettled in Canada, where he became a high school teacher in Prince George, British Columbia. With that first pot of Canadian honey still on his mind, he was introduced to beekeeping in 1970 and it quickly became a dear passion of his.
Dietrich started Elias Apiaries in 1972 and launched Elias Honey’s first flagship product shortly thereafter: a sweet, balanced honey made from fireweed and other blossoms native to the Prince George area. After many rounds of free sampling and rigorous taste-testing with family and friends, Elias Honey had its retail debut on the Food Floor of the then prestigious Woodwards Store in Prince George. Once word spread about Elias Honey, the store simply couldn’t keep up with the demand!
Full of energy, passion and on a mission to bring 100% pure Canadian honey to every household nationwide, Dietrich’s son, Torben, later joined his father in the business and started fulfilling orders from all around the province. Now you can find Elias and Elias Gourmet everywhere in Canada from Prince Rupert, British Columbia to Halifax, Nova Scotia.
Today we continue Elias’ tradition of bringing high-quality, apiary-fresh honey to Canadians everywhere — because honey is our passion and we love what we do.
Imagine a world without bees. There would be no fruit, veggies, and certainly no honey! In fact, with most of the food we eat we can pretty much guarantee a bee had something to do with it. That’s why we work closely with our farmers and beekeepers to ensure good beekeeping practices are followed. We want to see our hives not just survive—but thrive.

Resistance to thyroid hormone-beta co-existing with partially empty sella in a Jordanian male

Volume 2018: Issue 1
Resistance to thyroid hormone-beta (RTHbeta) is a rare inherited syndrome characterized by variable reduced tissue responsiveness to the intracellular action of triiodothyronine (T3), the active form of the thyroid hormone. The presentation of RTHbeta is quite variable and mutations in the thyroid hormone receptor beta (THR-B) gene have been detected in up to 90% of patients. The proband was a 34-year-old Jordanian male who presented with intermittent palpitations. His thyroid function tests (TFTs) showed a discordant profile with high free T4 (FT4) at 45.7 pmol/L (normal: 12–22), high free T3 (FT3) at 11.8 pmol/L (normal: 3.1–6.8) and inappropriately normal TSH at 3.19 mIU/L (normal: 0.27–4.2). Work up has confirmed normal alpha subunit of TSH of 0.1 ng/mL (normal <0.5) and pituitary MRI showed no evidence of a pituitary adenoma; however, there was an interesting coincidental finding of partially empty sella. RTHbeta was suspected and genetic testing confirmed a known mutation in the THR-B gene, where a heterozygous A to G base change substitutes valine for methionine at codon 310. Screening the immediate family revealed that the eldest son (5 years old) also has discordant thyroid function profile consistent with RTHbeta and genetic testing confirmed the same M310V mutation that his father harbored. Moreover, the 5-year-old son had hyperactivity, impulsivity and aggressive behavior consistent with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This case demonstrates an unusual co-existence of RTHbeta and partially empty sella in the same patient which, to our knowledge, has not been reported before.
We report the coincidental occurrence of RTHbeta and a partially empty sella in the same patient that has not been previously reported.
TFTs should be done in all children who present with symptoms suggestive of ADHD as RTHbeta is a common finding in these children.
The management of children with ADHD and RTHbeta could be challenging for both pediatricians and parents and the administration of T3 with close monitoring may be helpful in some cases.
Incidental pituitary abnormalities do exist in patients with RTHbeta, although extremely rare, and should be evaluated thoroughly and separately.

This is the first report of an individual (the proband) with RTHbeta associated with an incidentally diagnosed partially empty sella on pituitary MRI. We acknowledge that there is no direct etiological or pathological link between the two conditions. The association between RTHbeta and ADHD constitutes a diagnostic and management dilemma. It would be interesting to assess the energy expenditure level in cases of RTHbeta and ADHD (such as in our second case) and compare that to cases of RTHbeta without ADHD, to verify the findings of Weiss et al. (1) who described a large case series of RTHbeta in children who were shown to have increased energy expenditure levels.
The proband was a 34-year-old Jordanian male who complained of intermittent palpitations for 5 months prior to his presentation to the cardiology clinic. He was prescribed bisoprolol 2.5 mg once daily and was then referred to our endocrine clinic for further assessment. Apart from his presenting complaint, he had no other symptoms of hyperthyroidism, such as excessive sweating, tremors, weight loss or disturbed sleep. He was unaware of any family history of thyroid dysfunction. He had good energy levels, normal libido and physical examination revealed a slightly overweight male with weight 82 kg, height 172 cm and BMI 27.4 kg/m2, with a regular pulse (72 beats per minute) and blood pressure of 120/82 mmHg; he had no palpable goiter and no evidence of thyroid eye disease. He had normal body physique, muscle mass and body hair. Physical examination of the other systems was unremarkable. The proband has two sons who were 5 and 3 years old. Further history from the parents revealed that the 5-year-old son had symptoms of hyperactivity, impulsivity, restlessness and aggressive behavior for the past 2 years. His growth rate has been satisfactory with a body weight of 22 kg (between 75th and 90th centiles) and height of 110 cm (between 50th and 75th centiles), as shown in the growth chart in Fig. 1. This child was a product of full term pregnancy and a normal vaginal delivery. He had no dysmorphic features; however, initial psychiatric evaluation suggested the diagnosis of ADHD. The parents reported no complaints or concerns about the 3-year-old son.

The proband underwent assessment at the cardiology clinic with electrocardiogram or ECG which was normal and TFTs, which showed a discordant profile with high free T4 (FT4) at 45.7 pmol/L (normal range: 12–22), high free T3 (FT3) at 11.8 pmol/L (normal range: 3.1–6.8) and a TSH 3.19 mIU/L (normal range: 0.27–4.2). Further work up of the proband confirmed a normal alpha subunit level of 0.1 ng/mL (normal <0.5) and normal SHBG of 20.4 nmol/L (normal reference range: 10–60), thereby excluding hepatic sensitivity to high thyroid hormone levels. Thyroid auto-antibody screen was negative. MRI of the pituitary did not show a pituitary adenoma; however, there was an incidental finding of a partially empty sella (Fig. 2). Further biochemical evaluation of the proband in a mid-morning serum sample revealed normal levels of other anterior pituitary hormones as follows: cortisol 406 nmol/L (08:00 h reference >500), prolactin: 123 mIU/L (normal range: 86–324), IGF-1: 26 nmol/L (normal range: 14.2–36.9), total testosterone: 9.3 nmol/L (normal range: 8.6–29), LH: 2.4 IU/L, FSH 1.6 IU/L. DNA sequence analysis of the proband’s thyroid hormone receptor beta gene (THR-B) confirmed a known missense mutation in Exon 7, where a heterozygous A to G base change substitutes valine for methionine at codon 310 (Fig. 3).

The proband’s eldest son (5 years old) also had discordant TFTs with a very high FT4 at 46.4 pmol/L (normal range: 12–22), high FT3 at 16.5 pmol/L (normal range: 2.8–7.1) and inappropriately normal TSH of 4.3 mIU/L (normal range: 0.85–6.5), consistent with RTHbeta. DNA sequencing of the THR-B gene, confirmed the presence of the same mutation as his father.
The proband’s 3-year-old son had no clinical or biochemical phenotype to suggest RTHbeta and has tested negative for this mutation.
The proband was prescribed bisoprolol 2.5 mg, which he initially took on daily basis for several months but then was less compliant with this treatment and took it on intermittent basis.
The 5-year child with RTHbeta and ADHD was referred to the pediatric endocrinology and childhood psychiatry departments as he is out of our scope of service. There is some evidence presented by Weiss et al. in a small study that supraphysiological doses of liothyronine (L-T3) in patients with ADHD and RTHbeta may improve hyperactivity and impulsivity in some of the patients compared to those with ADHD alone; however, the number of patients in that study was very small and further larger studies in larger number of patients are needed.
Outcome and follow-up
The proband took his treatment on an intermittent basis although he still complains of palpitations. The 5-year-old child was referred to pediatric endocrinology; however, his father opted for observation without pharmacological treatment as he was concerned about side effects of medications.
We present a Jordanian family with RTHbeta due to a missense mutation (M310V) in the THR-B gene, which has been previously reported in very few cases, by Mitchell et al. and Amor et al. Our two cases represent a significant addition to the literature on this mutation (2, 3).
Sakurai et al. described the first mutation causing RTHbeta in 1989 (4). According to recent reports (5), there are approximately 170 mutations that are listed in the Human Gene Mutation Database, to date. For logistic reasons, we could not carry out functional studies, however, this mutation is a well-recognized pathological mutation as previously reported (2, 3). Furthermore, missense variant functionality programs (such as Sorting Intolerant Form Tolerant and Polyphon) indicate that this is a highly conserved amino acid suggesting a change would be deleterious. This is further supported by the clinical phenotype of RTH in the proband and the affected son. Interestingly, the four cases of M310V previously described by Mitchell and colleagues were part of a large group of RTHbeta cases that included 54 adults and 13 children from 13 unrelated families with 25 different mutations in THR-B and the authors clearly showed markedly increased energy expenditure and food intake in both adults and children (2). However, the number of RTHbeta cases due to M310V mutation was too small in that cohort.
The proband presented at the age of 34 years with intermittent palpitations, which responded well to Bisoprolol for a few months; however, the patient became less compliant with his treatment despite the occurrence of occasional symptoms. The proband had no palpable goiter (which occurs in 55–65% of patients of RTHbeta) and no other physical abnormalities on examination.
The presence of a partially empty sella together with RTH is probably an incidental finding; however, to our knowledge, this finding has not been described previously in cases of RTHbeta. Furthermore, the patient did not complain of headaches or visual symptoms. He had no history of a head injury and there was no clinical suspicion of raised intracranial hypertension. Reassuringly, levels of all anterior pituitary hormones including prolactin, IGF-1 and cortisol were normal, especially as it is recognized that up to 10% of patients with primary empty sella may have endocrinopathies, the commonest abnormalities being hyperprolactinemia and hypopituitarism (6). Although serum testosterone level was on the lower end of the normal range; nonetheless, the patient denied any symptoms of hypogonadism and was clinically eugonadal. Radiological and biochemical follow-up would be a reasonable approach in this patient as progression from partial to complete empty sella has been documented with hormonal abnormalities such as hypopituitarism in some cases. The association between RTHbeta and pituitary abnormalities is extremely rare with only one reported case of RTHbeta and coincidental pituitary incidentaloma (7).
The 5-year-old affected son presented from early childhood with an extreme phenotype of hyperactivity, restlessness, aggressive behavior, interrupted sleep, hyper-impulsivity and difficulty at school. These features are quite suggestive of ADHD and this patient was referred for evaluation by a child psychiatrist to confirm this disorder, which is a well-recognized presentation of RTH in childhood (1, 8, 9, 10). The feedback from initial childhood psychiatric evaluation was supportive of the diagnosis of ADHD. Weiss and colleagues reported in a small study that some children with both ADHD and RTHbeta may respond to supraphysiological doses of liothyronine (L-T3), which has been shown to reduce both the hyperactivity and impulsivity in some but not all of these children, compared to those without RTHbeta. However, the number of children who were studied was extremely small making it difficult to draw any clear cut conclusions and larger studies are needed to confirm these findings (1). The growth of this child, as shown in Fig. 3, looks normal; however, it may be affected in future. Therefore, this patient was referred to the pediatric endocrine department for further evaluation and possible treatment as deemed necessary and his response to treatment may be presented at a later stage as it may take some time. Moran et al. recently reported a case of a 9-year-old Saudi child with RTHbeta due to a homozygous THR-B mutation resulting in cardiac dysfunction that was successfully treated with the combination of triiodothyroacetic acid (TRIAC) and carbimazole (11). The authors suggested that if the beneficial effects of the combination of TRIAC and carbimazole persisted long term, this combination can be used in heterozygous cases of RTHbeta as well.
The extreme variability in clinical phenotype despite having the same mutation is well known in cases of RTHbeta and has been well documented in the literature across families and within the same family; however, the etiology of this variation remains unknown. The proband has five brothers and two sisters, some of whom had children, however, we were unable to screen the full family due to logistic and geographical reasons as they reside outside Saudi Arabia; however, we strongly advised family screening, especially for children whose growth and development may be negatively affected by their functional thyroid status.
In conclusion, we describe an interesting family with RTHbeta due to a known M310V mutation in which the proband presented with palpitations yet coincidentally had a partially empty sella. To our knowledge, this has not been previously reported. The proband’s 5-year-old son had RTHbeta due to the same mutation that his father harbored and had a phenotype of ADHD, which is a challenging association with RTHbeta in children.

December 22, 2020 Information
US Considers Requiring Travelers from Britain to Prove They Tested Negative for COVID-19
U.S. officials are considering a requirement for all travelers from Britain to offer proof they have tested negative for COVID-19.
News outlets say the White House coronavirus task force met Monday and discussed crafting a rule that passengers prove they have taken a negative test within 48 or 72 hours before leaving Britain.
The proposed rule comes as more than 40 countries have suspended travelers from Britain in response to a dramatic rise of infections because of a new strain of COVID-19 sweeping across southern Britain.
The U.S. has not restricted flights from Britain, however, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo said he has asked airlines flying into the state from Britain to make all passengers take a COVID-19 test before they get on the plane. Three airlines, Virgin Atlantic, British Airways and Delta Airlines, have agreed to Gov. Cuomo’s request.
In the western U.S., Gov. Jay Inslee of Washington state Monday ordered a 14-day quarantine for all travelers entering the state from Britain and South Africa, where a similar mutation of COVID-19 has been identified.
Dr. Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, said Monday it is possible the new variant of the novel coronavirus is already in the United States.
The head of German-based pharmaceutical company BioNTech says the COVID-19 vaccine it developed with U.S.-based counterpart Pfizer is “highly likely” to work against the new strain. But Ugur Sahin told reporters in Berlin if necessary, the vaccine could be modified and distributed within six weeks. The European Union authorized use of the Pfizer-BioNTech cross the 27-nation bloc vaccine on Monday, with the first inoculations to begin on December 27.
Hans Kluge, the European chief of the World Health Organization, says the agency will convene a meeting of members to discuss strategies to counter the new COVID-19 variant, but did not give a date. WHO cautioned Monday against raising a major alarm over the new strain, saying there is no evidence it is more lethal than any known existing strains, and that such mutations are a normal part of a pandemic’s evolution.
Meanwhile, the world’s longest streak without a local coronavirus infection has been broken. Taiwanese health authorities say a woman in her thirties has tested positive after coming into contact earlier this month with a New Zealand-born pilot who was infected while traveling overseas.
The woman is Taiwan’s first locally transmitted COVID-19 case since April 12 — a stretch of 253 days. Taiwan has been pointed to as a success story in how to respond to the pandemic, with just 766 total cases and just seven deaths, according to the Johns Hopkins Coronavirus Resource Center. The island began checking on passengers on flights from Wuhan, the Chinese city where the pandemic began, in the early days of the outbreak for fever and pneumonia symptoms.
And Antarctica has lost its designation as the last continent on Earth without a COVID-19 infection. At least 36 people stationed at a Chilean research base in the icy continent recently tested positive for the novel coronavirus, including 26 members of the Chilean army and 10 civilian contractors.
The Vatican says it is “morally acceptable” for Roman Catholics to receive vaccines developed using tissue from aborted fetuses.
The Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, the Church’s doctrinal oversight office, issued a statement Monday granting permission for Catholics to take such vaccines because it does not “constitute formal cooperation” with the means in which the tissue was obtained. The office also said it is not always possible to obtain vaccines that do not pose an ethical dilemma.

Learn to Earn through Freelancing – A participant’s story
When Sajid, one of the two speakers of LEF-03, asked my brother and me to write articles for their upcoming newsletter, my brother replied in affirmative instantly as there would have been no big fools than us to decline such a valuable offer. On my way back I started recalling everything from the beginning and it started to move like a film in front of my eyes.
Sajid – LEF 03: Introductory Seminar | IMSciences
The first perception
So let’s begin! The first session which I attended was an introductory session by Empower Pakistan, sponsored by The World Bank Group. Sajid stepped up and started speaking. No doubt the crowd was large and extended, but most of it didn’t have a slightest idea of what online work is. He started with the definition. I didn’t pay much attention to it as I already knew. Frankly, I lost my interest and messaged my brother,
“KYA THANDA BANDA HE! YEH HUMEN FREELANCING KESE SIKHAYEGA?” (What a sluggish person. I can’t imagine him teaching us Freelancing).
But who knew he was going to be one of the best mentors I would ever have. Later on, Sajid started showing the statistics of income generated which was indeed a jaw-dropper! And the best part of it was that the income was generated without any investment of capital. At that very moment I said to myself, “Man, I definitely have to attend this whole workshop!”
Only half an hour was left when Farhan, the second speaker, came forward and started briefing about the workshop LEF-03. He was so active, enthusiastic and full of energy that many among the crowd could be easily seen setting to do something.
Farhan Shah | Introductory Seminar: LEF 03 | IMSciences
Start with identifying your skills
Time flies and it did, I was short-listed and then selected for the workshop. The workshop began. The first session was on Sunday and it started around 12:30 in the noon. Farhan was the speaker and the topic covered in the first session was about identifying ones’ skills. I guess that was the most difficult part because it involved discovering oneself and knowing what to excel at. Farhan spoke continuously for hours. Even he once said, “Man I am tired now” but still he didn’t stop. He was trying his level best to clarify all the confusions generating in our minds. This was a very interactive session and both of the speakers were answering all the questions patiently and in great detail.
Create a profile around your skills
Second session was to make a profile. Sajid was the speaker in the second session and he gave a detailed description of each and every step. One thing both of them were emphasizing on was to keep everything genuine. In the whole workshop, this is what I have perceived as the best thing so far, keep everything genuine. I remember Sajid saying, “Honesty always stands out” and that is true indeed. Second thing they had their focus on was creativity and uniqueness in a freelancer’s overview and cover-letter. According to them, creativity was the key element to gain a client’s attention. Later on, it proved to be exactly the same.
The bliss of getting your first freelance work
We made our profiles and started bidding exactly following their steps. None of us were expecting that we will get a response the same day. Haris was the first to get a response. I, Aamir and Marium Malik also received a response that very day. Haris was called on stage to share something as he was very happy and had already started working on the job. He said, “I had been bidding on jobs for months and had received no reply from a single client. Before the session, it was a total disaster!” and he said that he had received a response just because of his cover letter which he wrote by following exactly the same steps taught in the session. Amir said, “My work has rocked the client’s mind!!” Marium and I felt like dancing.
We were so happy but more than us were our mentors, it could be seen by just looking at their faces. For most of us, it was our first achievement and I felt as if I have found a direction to move towards. The workshop would be this effective, nobody knew. Outcomes would be this astonishing, nobody knew. We will be this happy and satisfied, nobody knew. Everything was mind-blowing. Maryam Noor, who was also an attendee, said, “I felt this workshop will be more of something flummery and mummery but now when I look around, I look at you people (referring to Farhan and Sajid), when I look at Ismail (who was part of Empower Pakistan’s team and at the time is one of the most successful bloggers in the country) and everyone in the team I feel very motivated and can feel this is real!”
Remember the first step, identify your skills
I remember Farhan saying in the introductory session, “There are many writers here. That I can sense, but you just don’t know it”. It turned out to be true when we discovered our skills. Haris didn’t know he is talented enough to get 3 jobs in just 3 days. Marium didn’t know what to do with the job yet she took home her first 10 dollars. Even we siblings didn’t know how good of a writers we are, it was just before the workshop. But now, we know what we are and what we can become.
Creating your profile – LEF 03
After the last session, on my way back it all again started moving in front of my eyes. That was the time when I felt sad, because next day there would be no session, there would be no workshop.
Our mentors indeed were one gem of a person. Let me say this. They were not mentors, they were our leaders and the workshop was a direction-finder. Now, I have an established platform to aim and strive to achieve my aim!

Synonyms and Keywords: Tendinosis; tendonitis
Tendinitis (also with the nonmedical spelling tendonitis) is a painful disorder of a tendon. Generally tendinitis is referred to by the body part involved, such as Achilles tendinitis (affecting the Achilles tendon), or patellar tendinitis (jumper's knee, affecting the patellar tendon). It was believed that tendinitis was due to inflammation of a tendon, although this is coming into doubt. Chronic overuse of tendons leads to microscopic tears within the collagen matrix, which gradually weakens the tissue.
Common areas of tendinitis
Tendinous injuries are common in the upper and lower limbs (including the rotator cuff attachments), and are less common in the hips and torso. Individual variation in frequency and severity of tendinitis will vary depending on the type, frequency and severity of exercise or use; for example, rock climbers tend to develop tendinitis in their fingers, swimmers in their shoulders. Achilles tendinitis is a common injury, particularly in sports that involve lunging and jumping while patellar tendinitis is a common among basketball and volleyball players owing to the amount of jumping and landing.[1]

Swelling in a region of micro damage or partial tear can be detected visually or by touch. Increased water content and disorganized collagen matrix in tendon lesions may be detected by ultrasonography or magnetic resonance imaging.
Symptoms can vary from an ache or pain and stiffness to the local area of the tendon, or a burning that surrounds the whole joint around the inflamed tendon. With this condition, the pain is usually worse during and after activity, and the tendon and joint area can become stiffer the following day as swelling impinges on the movement of the tendon. Many patients report stressful situations in their life in correlation with the beginnings of pain which may contribute to the symptoms.
Due to their highly specialized ultra-structure, low level of vascularization and slow collagen turnover, tendons and ligaments are very slow to heal if injured, and rarely regain their original strength. Partial tears heal by the rapid production of disorganized type-III collagen, which is weaker than normal tendon. Recurrence of injury in the damaged region of tendon is common.
Standard treatment of tendon injuries is largely palliative. Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs combined with rest and gradual return to exercise is a common therapy, although there is evidence to suggest that tendinitis is not an inflammatory disorder, and that anti-inflammatory drugs are not an effective treatment[2] and that inflammation does not cause tendon dysfunction.[3]
On-going research
Both eccentric loading and extracorporeal shockwave therapy are currently being researched as possible treatments for tendinitis. One study found both modalities to be equally effective in treating tendinosis of the Achilles tendon and more effective than a 'wait and see' approach.[4] Other treatments for which research is on-going includes vitamin E, nitric oxide and stem cell injections.
Eccentric loading
Perhaps the most promising avenue of therapy is indicated in a line of research finding dramatic rates of recovery including complete remodeling of chronically damaged tendon tissue with eccentric loading,[5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12] though eccentric loading may be less effective among non-athletes.[13] However, a 2007 meta-analysis suggested that there is insufficient research to support the use of eccentric loading for the treatment of damage to tendons.[14]
Inflatable brace
The use of an inflatable brace (AirHeel) was shown to be as effective as eccentric loading in the treatment of chronic Achilles tendinopathy. Both modalities produced significant reduction in pain scores, but their combination was no more effective than either treatment alone.[15]
Shock-wave therapy
Shock-wave therapy (SWT) may be effective in treating calcific tendinitis in both humans[16] and rats.[17] In rat subjects, SWT increased levels of healing hormones and proteins leading to increased cell proliferation and tissue regeneration in tendons. Another study found no evidence that SWT was useful in treating chronic pain in the Achilles tendon.[18]
Vitamin E has been found to increase the activity of fibroblasts, leading to increased collagen fibrils and synthesis, which seems to speed up the regeneration and increase the regenerative capacity of tendons.[19][20]
Nitric oxide (NO) also appears to play a role in tendon healing[21] and inhibition of NO synthesis impairs tendon healing.[22] Supplementing with arginine, the amino acid that the body uses to form NO, may be useful in tendon healing.[23] The use of a NO delivery system (glyceryl trinitrate patches) applied over the area of maximal tenderness was tested in three clinical trials for the treatment of tendinopathies and was found to significantly reduce pain and increase range of motion and strength.[24]

The Offbeat Journey of Vijaya Pais, the Firebrand Founder of Offbeat Goa
Vijaya Josephine Pais' passion to serve led her to create a huge community of Good Samaritans in Goa.
by eShe
By Maya Lalchandani
Keen to highlight interesting things to do in her adopted city Goa during the offseason, Vijaya Josephine Pais founded the Facebook group Offbeat Goa in 2014. What started as a mere social-media page has grown today into 21,000 warriors and activists interested in beach clean-ups, meditation workshops, garage sales, a helpline for senior citizens, and even pet adoption camps. All you need is one person interested in giving back to society.
Vijaya, who will turn 40 this year, has had an interesting life. A Catholic by birth, she was the youngest of five kids, and was brought up in Dubai. When she was six, the family moved to Bandra, Mumbai. Her father was a self-taught musician so the entire family sang a lot, including Vijaya. A nerd with no real ambitions, she did dream of travel journalism and felt deeply for animals, turning vegetarian when she was 12.
With her batchmates fresh out of Emirates training college in 2003
At 23, she moved back to Dubai to fly for Emirates Airlines, sharing an apartment with her sister and living the life of freedom. Five years later, she quit her job to marry her partner of nine years, and returned to Mumbai. But life had different plans as the marriage lasted all of one month and there she was: jobless, hit by the global recession, with everything looking particularly bleak.
The 29-year-old moved back with her parents. “Divorce did not really bring me down, as I felt an immense sense of liberation that offered me opportunities to reinvent myself,” she shares.
Over time, Vijaya met someone with similar views on portraiture and experimental photography, and the duo decided to run a studio together. Launched in 2010, her Studio Third Eye in Lower Parel kept her going for three years. It was a creatively satisfying job, and the studio tackled a lot of commercials working with brands and magazines.

But the chaos and stress that follows one in a metro like Mumbai is not for everyone. Vijaya felt it tug at her soul. She shut shop soon enough, making the decision to move, lock stock and barrel, with her ageing parents in tow, to Candolim, Goa.
Taking on all responsibilities, she single-handedly relocated the family. She started writing for a few magazines and since she culturally identified with Goa, she felt right at home.
“Goa is a magical place that absolutely changes you, considering that a lot of people that move here have been either fried after city life, broken-hearted after divorces, or are just basically looking for Utopia,” she remarks. Goa helped Vijaya get rid of her inhibitions, and to understand life so much better.

Her Facebook page started gaining momentum and she started taking on more social-media assignments as time went by. Her content helped new businesses take off successfully. But even though money was coming in, Vijaya felt a sense of dissatisfaction. “I started seeing a virtual life coach Azalea in Mumbai, and that’s how I realised that what really made me happy was not service to myself but to others.”
Vipassana meditation in Kolhapur was next as she felt a major shift happening. Back in Goa, she happened to work with Darryl D’Souza, the Goa-based author of the book Become Healthy or Extinct. She applied some of his advice to help her father who was suffering from an autoimmune disease, but he passed away in 2018.
Vijaya with her mother in Goa
Vijaya realised that alternative healing was the way she wanted to go. She found a yoga space called Shala 142 in Assagao, which encouraged yoga and music workshops. Here she launched her New Earth Gathering, a healthy, holistic, vegan community market that made people aware of their consumerist choices and helped them transition to a healthier way of life.
Somebody who believes in sustainable living, Vijaya wanted to encourage eco-friendly and locally produced goods, thus reducing waste. To take her vision forward, she created the Good Karma Treasure Shop in 2017 to retail second-hand goods under the same roof where likeminded people could congregate to buy, swap and perhaps donate for a worthy cause.

“The whole idea was to help build community by helping people in the community. It helps the reuse-and-recycling policy, plus it helps the environment,” she says. One thing led to another, and something that started simply from some serious closet cleaning ended up funding various charities, orphanages, animal shelters and old-age homes.
Next, she and three likeminded friends launched the Goa Humanitarian Helpline on day one of India’s nationwide lockdown to distribute food and support to senior citizens. Within five hours, they got over 40,000 calls. Swamped, they called for more volunteers, and the helpline became a movement.
It has since grown to a very diverse group of over a hundred volunteers, who have helped put food on many a table.

Offbeat Goa became an umbrella for all these activities and is now one of the most sought-after platforms in Goa for curated information. “I mainly promote small, local, sustainable businesses, offbeat experiences and events,” says Vijaya, adding, “The platform basically supports the local community and responsible tourism. We also collaborate with clean-up drives organised by other groups.” Clearly all this is what happens when people connect people.

Three pathways for rancidification are recognized: [5]. Hydrolytic rancidity refers to the odor that develops when triglycerides are hydrolyzed and free fatty acids are released.
This reaction of lipid with water may require a catalyst , leading to the formation of free fatty acids and glycerol. In particular, short-chain fatty acids , such as butyric acid , are malodorous.
Oxidative rancidity is associated with the degradation by oxygen in the air. The double bonds of an unsaturated fatty acid can be cleaved by free-radical reactions involving molecular oxygen.
This reaction causes the release of malodorous and highly volatile aldehydes and ketones. Because of the nature of free-radical reactions, the reaction is catalyzed by sunlight.
For example, even though meat is held under refrigeration or in a frozen state, the poly-unsaturated fat will continue to oxidize and slowly become rancid.
The fat oxidation process, potentially resulting in rancidity, begins immediately after the animal is slaughtered and the muscle, intra-muscular, inter-muscular and surface fat becomes exposed to oxygen of the air.
This chemical process continues during frozen storage, though more slowly at lower temperature.
Oxidative rancidity can be prevented by light-proof packaging, oxygen-free atmosphere air-tight containers and by the addition of antioxidants.
Microbial rancidity refers to a water-dependent process in which microorganisms, such as bacteria or molds , use their enzymes such as lipases to break down fat.
Using fish oil as an example of a food or dietary supplement susceptible to rancidification over various periods of storage, two reviews found effects only on flavor and odor, with no evidence as of that rancidity causes harm if a spoiled product is consumed.
Antioxidants are often used as preservatives in fat-containing foods to delay the onset or slow the development of rancidity due to oxidation.
Natural antioxidants include ascorbic acid vitamin C and tocopherols vitamin E. The natural antioxidants tend to be short-lived, [10] so synthetic antioxidants are used when a longer shelf-life is preferred.
The effectiveness of water-soluble antioxidants is limited in preventing direct oxidation within fats, but is valuable in intercepting free radicals that travel through the aqueous parts of foods.

We almost got a spectacular Red Dead Redemption map mod for GTA 5
We all know how active and creative the modding community can be, particularly Grand Theft Auto 5‘s modding community.
We’ve seen the likes of Vice City being modded into the game, as we have GTA IV‘s Liberty City, while graphical mods continue to make an already fantastic-looking game even better.
Perhaps one of the most intriguing and anticipated mods for the game was that of a Red Dead Redemption mod being made by the dot white team.
Called Red Dead Redemption V, it was to bring the full map from the open-world classic into GTA 5, alongside some “additional content”.
The framework was there and it appeared ready to be unleashed as recently as last month, with the mod team “constantly fine tuning” the map.
At the time, the team thought their biggest challenge was bringing over RDR‘s version of the Rockstar Advanced Game Engine (RAGE) into a more advanced GTA V.
As it turns out, however, they were to face far bigger challenges in bringing their vision to the GTA 5 faithful.
Unfortunately, despite the mod looking promising and being deep into development, Rockstar Games’ parent company, Take-Two, has asked that the content be taken down.
“I know this is hard pill to swallow, but as you may have noticed we did get contacted, and we sadly have to say we are stopping this project,” the mod team said. “So thanks guys, but it isn’t going to happen, sorry.”
It’s clear why Take-Two has opted to take this mod down, but not the many other mods that are based on past Rockstar games, like the ones listed above.
Red Dead Redemption 2 is said to be destined for a late 2017 release, and Red Dead Redemption V was also looking at a release at that time.
While it’s a “hard pill to swallow”, as the dot white team says, it’s understandable that Take-Two would act this way with this specific mod. Mods are rarely if ever taken down by the publisher for Rockstar titles, and the community remains active and thriving.
It’s been six years since the release of the first Redemption entry, which of course was a kind-of continuation of the original game, Red Dead Revolver, from 2004.
Redemption was a critical and commercial success, and eventually saw support on Xbox One’s backwards compatibility service in 2016.
Many assumed it was a hint from Rockstar that a new Red Dead was on the way, or perhaps a remake/remaster of Redemption. Thankfully, it’s a new game, and hopefully it’s just as good if not better than the original.
Rockstar says the game is slated for a Fall 2017 release date. For Australia, that’s Spring 2017, so a year from now.
Whether or not the game actually hits that release date is another matter: Rockstar is not one to hit its initial release windows, so be prepared for a delay into 2018.
There are murmurs that Red Dead Redemption 2 will be set to the “east” of the original game. The first entry was set around virtual interpretations of California, Mexico (called Nuevo Paraíso), and spread towards the east coast. Keeping with its Wild West setting, it appears likely to offer a similar setting, but of course much bigger than what the original game world was.

NYCC 2017 Interview: Lindsay Farris & Arielle Carver-O’Neill Of ‘Ash vs Evil Dead’
By Dr. Zaius | @ | October 10th, 2017 at 5:00 pm
This past weekend Ash vs Evil Dead took over New York Comic-Con. The Starz series, which will be heading into its third season in February, had a fan experience that was set up outside the Javits Center the entire 4 days, allowing fans to walk through a replica set and create GIFs of themselves fighting deadites. On Saturday, the show’s stars Bruce Campbell, Dana DeLorenzo, Ray Santiago, Arielle Carver-O’Neill, and Lindsay Farris treated fans to a special sneak peek of the season 3 premiere, and conducted a panel discussion and Q&A, before heading back to the main convention center to sign autographs and taking photos with fans. During the convention, I got to speak to the cast members of the series about their experiences on the upcoming season.
Arielle Carver-O’Neill and Lindsay Farris are the two “newbies†on the show. Both native Aussies, Carver-O’Neill plays Brandy Barr, daughter of Candy Barr (Yep) and Ash (yes, she’s Ash’s daughter!), while Farris is Dalton, a descendant of the Knights of Sumeria who joins the Ghost Beaters and holds Ash in hero-worship. Check out what they had to say during the press event.

NYCC 2017: ‘Ash vs Evil Dead’ Season 3 Screening and Panel With Cast
By Dr. Zaius | @ | October 8th, 2017 at 11:29 am
Saturday marked Day 3 for New York Comic-Con and was the dead I had circled. It was Ash vs Evil Dead Day! Having attended this panel the previous two years, I knew I was in for a treat with this crew. I arrived to the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC at 9:15am for the Ash vs Evil Dead panel, which was to start at 12:30pm, and the streets were already packed with fans, many in cosplay as Ash and others showing off their Evil Dead tattoos. The place had fans overflowing and by the time 12:30pm rolled around, the theater on 34th and 8th Avenue in Manhattan was near capacity. There had been much tension amongst fans of the Starz series, as the network at that point had failed to announce a premiere date for the third season, especially since seasons 1 & 2 both debuted around Halloween. Thankfully, crisis was averted, and right in time for NYCC, Starz announced a February 2018 airdate.
Star Bruce Campbell came out onto the stage first, dressed in a typically spiffy smoking jacket and thanked the fans for putting his kids through college. As a reward, we were given a full screening of the Season 3 premiere (see info about the episode at the end of this post).

Details of Ask the Animals
Bruce R. Coston D.V.M.
Reminiscent of James Herriot's wonderful books, Coston's memoir offers zany, sad, and touching stories about a medical practice where the patients cannot speak, yet communicate deeplyBruce R. Coston's first book is a warm, funny, and amazingly fulfilling celebration of the wonderful world of animals as seen through the eyes of a small-town veterinarian. The patients are an eclectic and surprising cast of characters who display incredible bravery and nobility at times, and unbelievable goofiness at others.
There's Sandy, the dog who resurrected herself from death. There's Daphne, the transvestite cat who taught Bruce to be a cat person. And the owners are no less engaging, ranging from the angelic to the squeamish, teaching Bruce what it really means to be an animal doctor.
Readers will gain insight into the pathos and passion, the mundane and extraordinary, the thigh-slapping humor and the crushing sadness of a vet's life as he seeks to mend and restore people's treasured companions. Written with great warmth, this book imparts a deeper understanding of the pets who daily enrich our lives.
R. Coston received his Doctorate of Veterinary Medicine from the University of Minnesota. In 1986, he received the Department of Small Animal Clinical Sciences Service Award and in 1992, he founded a veterinary practice that he still owns and operates.
He lives with his family in Virginia.

Pot proposals, waiting on bail reform, and other stories
Here are a few odds and ends which merit Grits readers attention:
Juvenile justice agenda detailed
Following up on the Texas Appleseed/Texans Care for Children report on school discipline, the Dallas News editorial board suggested this agenda for juvenile justice reform in 2017 at the Texas Lege: "Find funds to help schools hire more counselors and mental health professionals; eliminate the use of tasers and pepper spray on students if a weapon is not involved; improve data collection on police activities in schools to better understand the complexities of the school-to-prison pipeline."
Waco DA: We don't need no stinking evidence
The first trial of a biker charged after the 2015 Twin Peaks shootings will occur in April, nearly two years after the event. These are weird cases. In the overwhelming majority there is no individualized evidence against the defendants. A prosecutor in the story said the trials would take about two weeks, but that presumes there's evidence to present that these individuals participated in a conspiracy. By all accounts, for most of them there's not. Here's a Grits prediction: When all is said and done, when trials are all over and appellate courts are through with it, I don't believe the number of people convicted of any crime related to the shootings, out of the 155 who've been charged, will ever reach double digits. The McLennan DA long ago entered witch hunt territory regarding these cases, and so far the judiciary has declined to rein him in. But even in Waco, Texas, you can't convict dozens of people with no accusatory evidence at all. And in the main, that's the Kafkaesque situation in which the overwhelming majority of these 155 defendants seemingly find themselves.
Bail reform poster-child
This Dallas News story offers up a poster-child case for bail reform: "Why Dallas County can set $150,000 bail for a $105 shoplifting charge, and how taxpayers lose." We still haven't seen legislative proposals yet implementing the Judicial Council's bail reform recommendations. But in the meantime, New Jersey is implementing a risk-assessment based system which assumes most defendants will be released while awaiting trial. Grits hopes the Texas bill follows suit.
Pot proposals
Here's a Fort Worth Star Telegram article detailing the various bills softening penalties for low-level marijuana possession being filed at the Texas Lege. The new Houston police chief, Art Acevedo, is predicting Texas will shift policies on pot. Also, in the Bryan College Station Eagle, retired District Judge John Delaney supported "decriminalization" of marijuna - a term which one discovers upon entering the debate means different things to different people. In Texas' context, "decriminalization" means backing HB 81/SB 170 creating a new civil penalty for pot possession instead of making it a criminal charge like a traffic ticket. Wrote Delaney:
Supporters of "decriminalization" argue it's a better approach because it doesn't result in the numerous collateral consequences of a normal conviction. One of those is an automatic 180-day driver's license suspension, regardless of whether the offense was connected to driving a vehicle. And license reinstatement isn't automatic, unlike release from jail after serving a sentence. To get a license back one has to file an application, pay a $100 fee, buy expensive "SR-22" insurance, and complete a 15-hour drug education course.
Another consequence is a permanent criminal record of the conviction. It can affect employment opportunities for a lifetime. Just ask any small business owner about how hard it is to hire an employee with any drug conviction on his or her record, even if it happened more than a decade earlier.
Another advantage to "decriminalization" is that it begins with a citation instead of an arrest. That avoids the two hours of police time it takes to process someone who's arrested, leaving officers free to respond to calls such as burglary or domestic violence.
Cornyn key for D.C. justice reform
Grits fails to see why criminal-justice reform legislation couldn't pass under a Republican Congress. We've won reform measures in Texas with an all-R government. Maybe Texas Sen. John Cornyn can pass his sentencing reform bill now that there's no risk that a Democratic president might claim credit for the success.
Prison Policy Initiative 2016 retrospectives
Our friends at the Prison Policy Initiative ended the year with roundups of 2016's best criminal-justice commentary (including a couple of Grits items), the year's best research, and their own wish list for "winnable" reforms in 2017. Lots of good stuff amidst those links for those with a little reading time on your hands.

Duino Castles
The Castle of the Princes of the Tower and Taxis and the ruins of the fortress of Duino
Between Monfalcone and Trieste there is a spectacular castle overlooking the sea: it is the Castle of Duino that the Princes of the Tower and Tasso, current owners, have recently decided to open to the public.
The castle, which dominates the Gulf of Trieste, stands on the ruins of a Roman outpost and was built in 1300; this elegant residence will not fail to amaze you with rich and important masterpieces of art and refined historical relics.
The tour takes about an hour and a half and allows you to admire the rich variety of Mediterranean flora of the park, the precious furnishings of the eighteen rooms that can be visited, numerous historical documents, original letters and family photos.
Over the centuries, many important guests have stayed in this romantic castle: Elizabeth of Austria (known as Sissi), the Counts of Chambord, Archduke Maximilian of Habsburg and his wife Charlotte of Belgium, Archduke Franz Ferdinand, Johann Strauss, Franz Listz, Paul Valery, Gabriele d'Annunzio and especially the poet Rainer Maria Rilke who composed the first two of the famous Duino Elegies here.
Among the various peculiarities that testify the long history of the family of the Tower and Taxis there are the piano played by Liszt, the staircase Palladio (masterpiece of architecture), the 360 ° panorama that you can enjoy from the viewpoints, the ramparts overlooking the sea and the bunker built in 1943 by the German Kriegsmarine.
The old castle:
The ruins of the fortress of Duino, dated 1139 by the Patriarchate of Aquileia, provide a glimpse of a rock overlooking the sea, also known as the rock of the White Lady, which creates a magical and refined atmosphere...

Grassley Works
Chuck Grassley for Senate
Meet our 99 County Chairs
Meet our 99 County Farm Coalition Leaders
Tax Reform is Making a Difference
Government should work for the people it serves, not the other way around. Since its passage, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act has proven it’s working for the people of Iowa and the entire country.
RELEASE: Chuck Grassley Narrates Closing Ad: “We’ve Done It Together, But We’re Not Done Yet”
DES MOINES— The Grassley Committee today announced its coalition of Iowa mayors. The coalition is made up of current and former mayors from 101 of Iowa’s cities.
RELEASE: Grassley Campaign Calls on Patty Judge to Address Questions Surrounding Toxic Strip Mine
DES MOINES— More than two weeks after a national news report broke detailing land owned by Patty Judge that contains a “plot that was ‘left in an unreclaimed condition’ after it was strip mined in the 1960s,” she has failed to address unanswered questions surrounding the toxic site.
Editorial: Return Grassley, Young and King to Washington
In the Senate race, economic policy provides a central distinction between the candidates. Republican Sen. Chuck Grassley emphasized that the private sector is the engine of job creation and growth, while his Democratic opponent repeatedly framed economic policy in terms of what politicians in Washington can do.
In praise of Sen. Grassley
Sen. Grassley cut through the bureaucratic red tape and, as of April 1 of this year, we became a Passport Acceptance Facility. As of Oct. 27, we have processed more than 900 applications and generated over $33,000 in more than revenue.
Endorsement: Grassley’s next six years should reflect bipartisanship of last 36
During his 36 years in Senate, and six years in the U.S. House of Representatives, Grassley has been a consistently strong advocate for Iowans and, nationally, for the taxpayers. He was one of the first in Congress to champion the False Claims Act, which encourages federal employees to blow the whistle on fraud and wasteful spending. He led Senate investigations into defense spending, publicly funded health care consultants and shady nonprofits that benefit from tax-exempt status.
Our opinion: Despite concerns, re-elect Grassley
Grassley has a long record of working hard on many issues, especially those supporting Iowa, public access to government, consumers and whistleblowers. He has a reputation for being a pain in the behind to presidents, Cabinet secretaries and government bureaucrats — regardless of party affiliation — when he gets a whiff of government waste, fraud and mismanagement, or where the citizen is being shortchanged.
Republicans and Democrats have felt Grassley’s heat. We couldn’t expect the same from Judge. There is a learning curve to the ins and outs of Washington, and she would lack the seniority, rank and wherewithal of Grassley.
RELEASE: What Iowa Newspapers are Saying About Chuck Grassley
“Throughout his long tenure, he has been a consistently effective watchdog on behalf of taxpayers and whistleblowers. Grassley’s commitment to constituent service is well known. Even after six Senate terms, Grassley’s team still sweats the small stuff on behalf of Iowans who need help.”
OUR OPINION: Grassley represents best choice in Iowa’s U.S. Senate race
Sending Republican U.S. Sen. Chuck Grassley back to Washington every six years has become something of an Iowa tradition. Rarely do his political opponents put much of a dent in his re-election bandwagon. He harvests votes like corn, by the bushel.
ENDORSEMENT: Grassley remains best choice for Senate

‘Hepatitis B, C infections, leading causes of death in Ghana’

Coronavirus: Nurse dies in Bolgatanga
COVID infections in Ghana alarming, dire – GMA
The Ghana Health Service (GHS) has identified the country as having prevalence of chronic hepatitis B and C virus infections, which are leading causes of death from infectious diseases globally.
A statement released by the GHS in Accra yesterday, said about 421 people died out of 117, 095 viral hepatitis cases between 2014 and 2018 in various health facilities across the country.
“Ghana belongs to areas where the prevalence of chronic hepatitis B infection is high (? 8 per cent) and that of hepatitis C virus is also high (5–10 per cent),” a statement, signed by the acting Director General of the GHS, Dr Patrick Aboagye, and issued ahead of this year’s commemoration of World Hepatitis Day, on July 28, said
It raised concerns over low public awareness and inaction on the part of duty bearers in the subject area.
The statement said “Viral Hepatitis B and C are leading infectious disease killers, yet the majority of global leaders and the public remain unaware. Viral Hepatitis B and C affect 325 million people worldwide leading to about 1.4 million deaths a year.”
It indicated that “Chronic hepatitis B and C virus infection is the second major killer infectious disease after tuberculosis and nine times more people are infected with Hepatitis than HIV. Deaths from hepatitis have been increasing over the past two decades, which points to a lack of global awareness and action among top decision makers.”
In line with achieving universal health coverage by 2030, the GHS called for increased funding in the prevention, testing and treatment of Hepatitis to ensure elimination.
“Government needs to ensure that national Hepatitis testing, vaccination and treatment plans include dedicated funding and investments. Government should seek most accessible, affordable and quality medicines and diagnostics for viral hepatitis,” the statement urged.
It, however, entreated the general public to test for the infection to know their status and get vaccinated should they test negative for Hepatitis B.
“Seek treatment at the nearest health facility if you test positive, vaccinate your child, avoid sharing sharp objects, use sterile or single-use syringes, practice safe sex with condoms and avoid multiple sexual partners,” the GHS advised.
Viral hepatitis — a group of infectious diseases known as hepatitis A, B, C, D, and E — affects millions of people worldwide, causing both acute (short-term) and chronic (long-term) liver disease.
Hepatitis B signs and symptoms may include abdominal pain, dark urine, fever, joint pain, loss of appetite, nausea and vomiting, weakness and fatigue, yellowing of skin and jaundice.
Hepatitis B infection is caused by the hepatitis B virus (HBV) and the virus is passed from person to person through blood, semen or other body fluids. It does not spread by sneezing or coughing.
The disease can spread through: sexual contact, sharing of needles, accidental needle sticks and mother to child.
Pregnant women infected with HBV can pass the virus to their babies during childbirth, but the newborn can be vaccinated to avoid getting infected in almost all cases.
The World Health Organisation (WHO) data show an estimated 257 million people living with chronic hepatitis B and 71 million people living with chronic hepatitis C worldwide.
Viral hepatitis causes more than one million deaths each year. While deaths from tuberculosis and HIV have been declining, deaths from hepatitis are increasing.
World Hepatitis Day is an opportunity to learn the global burden of this disease, and efforts to combat viral hepatitis around the world, and actions individuals can take.

Video Premiere: Gloom Balloon, “Tru Love Waits”
For fans of Patrick Tape Fleming, they will hear all of what he does on “Tru Love Waits”. Self-described as “multi-dimensional,” “positively celestial,” and “a shape-shifting pastiche of blissful melodies, heavenly harmonies, female background vocals, and orchestral flourishes,” the Des Moines, Iowa native goes above and beyond these descriptions to the fullest with his most recent release. “Tru Love Waits” comes off Fleming’s project Gloom Balloon’s upcoming release Bergman Uses Bach To Get His Point Across, I Feel Like I Have Chosen Rock But At What A Cost, and today, Gloom Balloon has dropped the lyric video for the song.
“Tru Love Waits” features what feels like a church choir preaching its only lines, “Don’t you ever say goodbye. Don’t you make your baby cry. True love waits, it never dies.”
Tape Fleming lists no less than 32 instruments attributed to himself (including Static Electricity, Box of Bulbs, and of course, Balloons) in the album’s liner notes, before going on to rattle off another 22 participants in this recording. At a time when we as a people are isolated, and artists are making recordings that reflect isolation, Gloom Balloon’s latest sounds communal, and that’s needed.
Bergman, the follow-up to 2017’s Drying the Eyes of the Goddess of Gloom, Underneath the Stars and the Moon, arrives unexpectedly for Tape Fleming. At the time of that album’s release, he told the Des Moines Register that he would likely be stepping away from music to concentrate on family life.
Bergman Uses Bach To Get His Point Across, I Feel Like I Have Chosen Rock But At What A Cost, the third album by Gloom Balloon, is out Sept. 25th, 2020 on Grand Phony.

Coco Before Chanel – Audrey Tautou
Judy Sloane
Coco Chanel (Audrey Tautou) © Warner Bros
As a little girl Gabrielle ‘Coco’ Chanel was sent with her sister to an orphanage in the heart of France. As a cabaret singer she performed for an audience of drunken soldiers. As a young courtesan to Etienne Balsan (Benoit Poelvoorde) she lived among the idle and decadent. She was a woman who knew she would never be anyone’s wife, refusing marriage even to Boy Capel (Alessandro Nivola), the love of her life. A rebel who dressed in her loves’ clothes, she went on to become the legendary couturier who embodied the modern woman. Actress Audrey Tautou admits that the character of Coco Chanel has been ‘hovering around’ her for several years. Finally, when director/writer Anne Fontaine approached her about doing her movie, the opportunity was too irresistible to turn down.
Were you apprehensive at all about playing a character that had really existed?
I wanted to give my own interpretation of this character, keeping in mind that the spectator had to recognize in it the mythical image of Chanel. Even if likeness on screen is very productive, the hardest thing was to avoid being satisfied with a mimetic performance, and to try to express her true nature. Her character and temperament that we perceived through photographs have not changed with time.
So much has been said about Coco Chanel, how did you imagine her yourself?
Audrey Tautou and Alessandra Nivola © Warner Bros
The problem is that it is impossible to imagine her precisely as Chanel always disguised the reality. In preparing myself for the part, I read Paul Morand, then the biography by Edmonde Charles-Roux, L’Irreguliere; the portrait by Colette, and of course, all the biographies Chanel had validated. I did notice that she misguided people, maybe out of modesty, a characteristic of rural people. Anyway, it takes some cunning to know who Chanel really was. And I’m not sure, without offending anyone, that everything that has been said and written about her, some of it contradictory, is close to her true self. I ended up being confused with all this material and the videos of her. So, I decided to look only at the photographs and give free rein to my imagination
We see Coco Chanel change as the formative years go by. How did you wish to mark this evolution of her character?
Watching the photographs, I noticed how Chanel held her head haughtily, standing very straight, as if a string pulled her head up. It was impossible to detect her provincial origins in the elegance of her gait, or in her graceful gestures, the way she held her cigarette, for example. Her purely physical transformation is not so obvious during those years, but she acquires deportment and authority the more she grows confident in herself.
Your two male partners are very different actors. How was it to work with them?
Benoit Poelvoorde and Audrey Tautou © Warner Bros
I was very happy to work with Benoit Poelvoorde. I admire this actor, and it is no sycophancy, I think his talent verges on genius. In the film, Benolt is extremely serious and available. Once I got rid of the intimidation he provoked in me during the first scenes, a great complicity grew between us. Alessandra Nivola has been exemplary. He’s American, and I know how difficult it is to be at ease acting in a language other than yours. He staggered me with his capacity of adaptation and the sincerity of his acting. Moreover, he is a great professional and the man is adorable.
What was it like working with Anne Fontaine?
Anne has allowed me to develop the nature of Chanel by searching different aspects to this role, by shading the emotions, being fragile and sweet and at the same time authoritarian and proud. The fact that a woman directed this movie is already a great advantage in expressing how difficult it was to be of ‘the weaker sex’ at that time. The intelligence of Anne Fontaine, her finesse, her global vision of the character and the story has been of utmost importance in her direction of the film.

EU pitches new post-Trump alliance with US in face of China challenge
Home Financial news EU pitches new post-Trump alliance with US in face of China challenge
The EU will call on the US to seize a “once-in-a-generation” opportunity to forge a new global alliance, in a detailed pitch to bury the tensions of the Trump era and meet the “strategic challenge” posed by China.
A draft EU plan for revitalising the transatlantic partnership, seen by the Financial Times, proposes new co-operation on everything from digital regulation and tackling the Covid-19 pandemic to fighting deforestation.
The paper, prepared by the European Commission, says that the EU-US partnership needs “maintenance and renewal” if the democratic world is to assert its interests against “authoritarian powers” and “closed economies [that] exploit the openness our own societies depend on”.
The 11-page set of draft policy proposals, entitled “a new EU-US agenda for global change”, includes an appeal for the EU and US to bury the hatchet on persistent sources of transatlantic tension, such as Europe’s push for greater taxation of US tech giants.
As open democratic societies and market economies, the EU and the US agree on the strategic challenge presented by China’s growing international assertiveness, even if we do not always agree on the best way to address this
It proposes that the EU and US join forces to shape the digital regulatory environment, including by adopting common approaches to antitrust enforcement and data protection, co-operating on screening of sensitive foreign investments, and working together to fight threats such as cyber-hacking.
Other parts of the paper call for co-operation on the development and dissemination of Covid-19 vaccines and joint work to reform the World Health Organization.

The blueprint reflects the optimism and sheer relief in Brussels about the prospect of working with the incoming US administration, but also concern that years of scratchy transatlantic relations have given the geopolitical initiative to Beijing. The document backs president-elect Joe Biden’s idea for a summit of democracies, and says that the new transatlantic agenda should be “the linchpin of a new global alliance of like-minded partners”.
The paper, produced jointly by the commission and the EU’s high representative for foreign policy, is expected to be submitted for endorsement by national leaders at a meeting on December 10-11. It suggests a EU-US Summit in the first half of 2021 as the moment to launch the new transatlantic agenda.
One of the acute frustrations in Brussels during the Trump years has been the US administration’s reluctance to co-ordinate the two powers’ responses to China, with the White House opting to pursue unilateral trade measures not only against Beijing but also the EU.
The paper says: “As open democratic societies and market economies, the EU and the US agree on the strategic challenge presented by China’s growing international assertiveness, even if we do not always agree on the best way to address this.”
Coming up with more of a common line will hinge significantly on the two economies’ ability to bridge existing divides over tech policy — one of the main focuses of the paper. Brussels sees the potential to work together to address issues varying from Chinese investment in innovative EU and US companies to the potential threat posed by the country’s edge in 5G technologies.

“Using our combined influence, a transatlantic technology space should form the backbone of a wider coalition of like-minded democracies,” the paper says.
Some of the proposals in the paper would require a clear shift in US policy. Brussels, for example, urges a joint effort to restore the World Trade Organization’s dispute-settlement system to full operation, something that would require Washington to stop blocking judicial appointments.
The paper also highlights the potential obstacles to closer EU-US co-operation posed by disagreements both between the transatlantic powers and within the European bloc. Big Tech remains a possible flashpoint in EU and US relations and a complicating factor in any joint stance against Beijing.
Brussels’ vision of data protection rights, increased competition in the sector and reform of taxation of it will require action against the big American companies that dominate the industry.
The draft paper’s remark that the EU and the US “do not always agree” on how to deal with China is an acknowledgment of how the European bloc’s official three-pronged strategy of co-operation, competition and rivalry with Beijing is less hawkish than bipartisan policy in Washington.
While European institutions and member states have generally grown more sceptical about China, especially as Beijing’s “wolf warrior” diplomacy has become more aggressive during the pandemic, there is still reluctance for across-the-board confrontation.
Some member states, such as Hungary, have individually strong ties with Beijing, while the “17+1” co-operation group set up by China with mainly central and eastern European countries includes 12 EU member states.

NCAA Refuses Waiver for UNC/USC Florence Charity Game
RALEIGH – If you needed another reason to dislike the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), this ought to do it.
“North Carolina basketball coach Roy Williams said he thought he had a good idea.
After the coasts of North Carolina and South Carolina were hit by Hurricane Florence, Williams said he wanted to help.
So Williams said he reached out to South Carolina basketball coach Frank Martin to see if he would be interested in having a preseason charity game with the two teams.
All the money, Williams said, would go to relief efforts and families who were displaced.
“When you see the scenes of people’s stuff out on the streets, you want to do something,” Williams said, his voice stern. “And that’s sadly what we saw. We saw so many situations, people losing everything they have.””
This idea is in keeping with the spirit exhibited by communities across the Carolinas after Hurricane Florence ravaged the sister states. According to the report, Michael Jordan, who owns the Charlotte Hornets, agreed to let the teams use the Spectrum Center in Charlotte for the charity game. All the parts were there to contribute to recovery efforts and provide some fun entertainment after a trying several weeks.
All the parts, except one: a waiver from the NCAA. Teams are limited to two pre-season exhibition games and the UNC/USC charity game would need special permission to tip off with out violating league rules. So, UNC reached out to the NCAA a couple weeks ago to float their plan for the game and intentions on applying for a waiver.
The NCAA shut them down, essentially saying, ‘Don’t bother,’ because the waiver would not be accepted.
“Williams said he was stunned that the NCAA would not allow the game. The schools had the option to alter one of its two preseason games, but declined. Kirschner said UNC had already established its preseason games.
“Guys if you can convince me how that was going to help North Carolina’s basketball team or South Carolina’s basketball team over somebody else, then I’ll listen to it,” Williams said. “But that was not the intent.” Clemson and UNC-Wilmington are among schools hosting a hurricane relief game. UNC will host Mt. Olive on Nov. 2 at the Dean Smith Center. “I still don’t understand why we didn’t get it,” Williams said.”
Trending: Leader of Trump-hating, BLM Loving, Leftist ‘Boogaloo Bois’: ‘We Infiltrated MAGA, Breached Capitol’
The NCAA apparently decided in June to not grant extra waivers and weren’t making any exceptions. Leave it to a bloated and self-important bureaucracy to create arbitrary barriers to charity.

Scientists patent synthetic life - promise for 'endless' biofuels
Scientists at the J. Craig Venter Institute have applied for a U.S. patent on the techniques and biological building blocks needed to create the world's first synthetic life-form, a minimal bacterial genome. According to the patent application, this is "a minimal set of protein-coding genes which provides the information required for replication of a free-living organism in a rich bacterial culture medium."
Dr Craig Venter himself is not named in the patent, but he is the brain behind the synthetic form of life. The man who led the private sector effort to sequence the human genome, has been working in the field of synthetic biology for years to create a man-made organism. The J. Craig Venter Institute's U.S. patent application now claims exclusive ownership of a set of essential genes and a synthetic "free-living organism that can grow and replicate" made using those genes.
Interestingly, defending the patent application, Dr Venter immediately pointed out these artificial life forms could be designed to make 'endless' biofuels and absorb carbon dioxide to mitigate climate change. The effort could result in "designer microbes" that produce biofuels by converting biomass in a highly efficient way into ethanol, biogas and biohydrogen. They could also be engineered to remove carbon dioxide (CO2) and other greenhouse gases from the atmosphere.
'Microbesoft'
The publication of the patent application has angered some environmentalists. The Canada-based ETC group, which monitors developments in biotechnology, called on patent offices to reject applications on synthetic life forms. Its press release sounds alarmist, using terms like "Microbesoft," evoking Dolly the cloned sheep and naming the organism Synthia.
Jim Thomas, of ETC Group: "These monopoly claims signal the start of a high-stakes commercial race to synthesise and privatise synthetic life forms."
"For the first time, God has competition. Venter and his colleagues have breached a societal boundary, and the public hasn't even had a chance to debate the far-reaching social, ethical and environmental implications of synthetic life." - Pat Mooney of the ETC Group.
The J. Craig Venter Institute's has filed an international application at the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) which names more than 100 countries where the institute may seek monopoly patents.
Second life, Synthetic life
Dr Venter's team intends to construct an organism with a "minimal genome" that can then be inserted into the shell of a bacterium. By removing genes, one by one, from a bacterium called Mycoplasma genitalium they identified the minimum number of genes required for this particular organism to replicate, or reproduce, in its controlled environment.
They have been able to remove 101 of its 482 genes without killing the bacterium, meaning that 381 were required for replication. But generating a man-made living organism from the bottom up requires much more than just its minimal genome. For example, in order to get the genes to do something, there have to be chemicals to translate the genes into messenger RNA and proteins:
bioenergy :: biofuels :: energy :: sustainability :: biogas :: biohydrogen :: ethanol :: artificial life :: genetics :: genome :: bacteria :: synthetic biology ::
Scientists around the world have been wrestling with the task of generating a so-called free-living synthetic organism for years.
In order to push the effort forward, Dr Craig Venter founded Synthetic Genomics, Inc., a company developing the new scientific processes to enable industry to design and test desired genetic modifications. The synthetically produced organisms with reduced or reoriented metabolic needs under development will enable new, powerful, and more direct methods of bio-engineered industrial production - so Venter thinks.
But designing an entirely new synthetic organism aimed at performing specific tasks is something else. When asked whether the world's first synthetic bug was thriving in a test tube, Dr Venter said: "We are getting close."
Earlier this year, scientists from Virginia Tech, Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL), and the University of Georgia announced they had successfully used techniques from synthetic biology to create a combination of 13 enzymes never found together in nature and that can completely convert polysaccharides (C6H10O5) and water into biohydrogen when and where that form of energy is needed (earlier post).

International research effort underway to sequence cassava genome, which may result in increased starch yields - USDA Agricultural Research Service - Aug. 30, 2006
Cassava has one of the highest rates of CO2 fixation and sucrose synthesis for any C3 plant. With this in mind, researchers from Ohio State University develop transgenic cassava with starch yields up 2.6 times higher than normal plants by increasing the sink strength for carbohydrate in the crop.

Nurse reveals dramatic muscle loss after 6-week fight with COVID-19
Canadian Cases
Hand Washing Guide
By Josh K. Elliott Global News

A California nurse and bodybuilding enthusiast has revealed the shocking toll that the coronavirus took on his body after he spent six weeks in the hospital with complications from COVID-19.
Mike Schultz, 43, says he weighed about 190 pounds and had no underlying health conditions before he contracted the coronavirus in early March. He ended up spending 57 days in hospital with the virus and came out weighing only 140 pounds, he wrote in an Instagram post. The post also included before and after photos documenting the dramatic change that his body went through during the ordeal.
“Took this selfie last week to show how much hospital deconditioning affected my body after being sedated for six weeks, intubated and on a ventilator,” Schultz wrote. “I hope it opens some eyes to those who think they’re not at risk. I had no prior medical issues.”

Schultz calls himself the “bearded nurse” on Instagram, but COVID-19 also cost him that, too, as hospital staff had to shave his face for the ventilator.
He says he first came down with the virus in early March after attending the Winter Party Festival in Miami, Fla., with his partner, Josh Hebblethwaite. Several cases have since been linked to that festival.
Schultz says he flew home to San Francisco after the event, then caught another flight to Boston, Mass., to see Hebblethwaite. He was feeling a little under the weather but he had no idea that he’d been infected at the time, he told Buzzfeed News.
“I didn’t think it was as serious as it was until after things started happening,” Schultz told Buzzfeed. “I thought I was young enough for it not to affect me, and I know a lot of people think that.”
He was admitted to hospital two days after he arrived in Boston, and he soon developed pneumonia. Hospital staff put him on a ventilator and moved him to the coronavirus ward, where he fought through the virus until he was strong enough to go into a recovery room on May 2.
“I was so weak,” he said. “I couldn’t hold my cellphone. It was so heavy. I couldn’t type because my hands shook so much.”

He says he took his post-coronavirus photo once he felt strong enough to stand.
Schultz’s friends supported him from afar and launched a GoFundMe page to help cover the costs of his lengthy hospital stay. They asked for US$15,000 and ended up collecting more than $19,000 to help him out.
Schultz and Hebblethwaite celebrated his recovery with some McDonald’s ice cream last week.
“Getting stronger every day and working to increase my lung capacity,” Schultz wrote on Instagram.
“I’ll get back to where I was in healthier ways this time,” he added. “Maybe (I’ll) even do cardio.”
Questions about COVID-19? Here are some things you need to know:
Symptoms can include fever, cough and difficulty breathing — very similar to a cold or flu. Some people can develop a more severe illness. People most at risk of this include older adults and people with severe chronic medical conditions like heart, lung or kidney disease. If you develop symptoms, contact public health authorities.
To prevent the virus from spreading, experts recommend frequent handwashing and coughing into your sleeve. They also recommend minimizing contact with others, staying home as much as possible and maintaining a distance of two metres from other people if you go out.

Among his countless honours, accolades and professional designations, the real estate magnate was a deserving recipient of the Order of Ontario, a member of the Order of Canada and a respected community leader who was a driving force behind the growth of Peel Region and the development of Mississauga as a world-class city for business, culture and recreation. He helped build schools, hospitals and community centres and established the Ignat Kaneff Charitable Foundation in 1986 to support education, health, the arts, and social services of local communities.

“Iggy Kaneff and the Kaneff family have been passionate builders, operators and supporters of the game of golf,” said Golf Canada CEO Laurence Applebaum. “As a young professional in the golf industry in the early 90’s, I had the great fortune of getting to know and playing golf with Iggy at his signature golf courses during a very exciting time of growth for the game he loved. He was kind, entertaining and had an aura of energy that surrounded everything he was involved with.
The Kaneff Golf collection of signature courses have contributed greatly to the golf experience across southern Ontario and those facilities have hosted countless charity tournaments and fundraisers that have supported so many important and worthwhile causes. What is most inspiring about Iggy’s legacy is that he was a philanthropic champion celebrated for his generosity and tireless efforts in giving back to his community. He will be sorely missed.”

What Honey Is Best: The Miraculous Manuka Honey
Written by Savaş Ateş in Recommended Products
The best honey in terms of its healing and nourishing effects is surely Manuka Honey. Manuka honey comes from the nectar of Manuka shrub flowers. The 3 most important ingredients in Manuka honey is as follows: Leptisperin manuka is nectar emerging from the bush, DHA is an omega-3 fatty acid type, and methylglyoxal is an antibacterial component. This shrub grows in wild, cultivated land in New Zealand’s free environment. It also grows in Australia, where similar honey is made. However, real Manuka honey is produced only in New Zealand.
Bacteria have the ability to resist elements that try to destroy them, such as antibiotics. However, manuka honey destroys bacteria in a different way by removing them from water, making it impossible for them to survive. To date, no bacteria have been reported that can develop resistance to manuka honey. Manuka honey has the right amount of ingredients for the maximum damage. The six factors below work together to provide broad-spectrum activity against bacteria:
Methylglyoxal (MGO). The amount of MGO, an antibacterial compound, determines its antibacterial activity. This unique compound is what distinguishes MANUKA from other honey.
Hydrogen peroxide. The honey enzyme called glucose oxidase makes hydrogen peroxide when the honey is diluted with water. This is produced when bee enzymes are added to the nectar.
Sugar. Honey has so much sugar that there is not enough water for bacteria.
Bee defensin 1. A protein found in royal jelly (special food for queen larvae) works as an antibiotic.
Acid. The pH of the diluted honey is around 3.5; Acidic environment slows bacterial growth.
Dehydration. Manuka honey draws water from bacteria and makes it impossible for microbes to survive.
Please do not use rare, expensive Manuka honey in your tea. Hot tea destroys living enzymes in honey, making it less effective. This is healing honey, not a sweetener for tea. It would be better to take a spoonful every day and kill the germs!
Health Benefits of Manuka Honey
Manuka honey has long been popular all over the world with its antibacterial properties. It has also been proven by scientists who have conducted research that it has a strong effect against infections. Besides, according to some recent studies, it has been observed to be beneficial against skincare problems.
The antibacterial properties of Manuka honey are much higher than other honey. It is very effective against stomach ulcers and sore throats. Studies have shown that it heals wounds and is good for skin ulcers. It is also rich in antioxidants that support immunity. It is good for intestinal and stomach problems. It is known to be effective against burns, and to relieve pain and burning. It is enough to drink 1 spoon for sore throats and digestive system.
The low humidity in Manuka honey makes it more popular than other types of honey. But what does it mean to have low humidity? When you pour manuka honey on the wound, it acts faster and the wound absorbs the honey more quickly. When you use this honey, which has received a medical degree award, your body can regain its pH and wrinkles will disappear in a short time.
Robert Graham, an expert in medicine and founder of Fresh Med NYC, says manuka honey can be used in medical situations. “Manuka honey for acute burns, diabetic ulcers and arterial ulcers has successfully passed many research experiments on its use,” he said. Manuka honey helps to improve the following conditions in general:
It improves the overall immune system function by killing harmful bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract (Gastrointestinal tract contains 85% of the immune system).
Colds, flu and sore throat (kills bacteria in your throat)
It has been proven to work well on cough suppressants
Oral infections such as bad breath, dental cavities, plaque, gingivitis, and periodontal disease
Skin injuries and infections such as MRSA, staph, abrasions, mastitis (breast infection), boils, diabetic ulcers, ringworm, rashes, athlete’s foot, nail fungus
Rosacea (Rose disease)
Candida Albicans (“mouth, intestine, vagina” fungus naturally found on the inner surfaces of the body),
Digestive System (Gastrointestinal) infections
Heartburn, Acid Reflux, Gastritis and Indigestion
H. pylori (25-50% of people have this stomach infection)
IBS, Irritable Bowel Syndrome
It removes sleep disorder, helps for Deep Sleep.
It is said that it is seen to be effective in controlling cancer tumor growth and metastasis, and it is followed that scientific researches are continuing in every field.
It can help relieve chemotherapy and radiation symptoms.
How Manuka Honey Heals Wounds?
Manuka honey helps wound healing in many ways. Its antibacterial effect quickly removes bacteria that spread to skin tissues to reach deep infections. The anti-inflammatory effect reduces swelling and pain. Honey also has an osmotic effect, removes dirt and cleanses the wound. The moist healing environment ensures the regeneration of new skin growth and prevents scarring. When a dressing changes, there is no rupture in newly formed tissues because it creates a barrier between the wound of the honey and the dressing. By killing ammonia-producing bacteria, the bad smell of the wound is greatly reduced.
Manuka Honey can be used orally or topically. The following dosages are recommended:
Enhanced immunity: MGS (Molan Gold Standard) or UMF 10+ 1-2 teaspoons daily.
Digestive disorders and infections: MGS or UMF 16+ to 25+ 1-3 teaspoons daily
Topical: Apply honey with MGS 20+ or higher activity every 12 hours and cover with dry sterile gauze and bandage.
Rosacea (Rose Disease), Eczema, Psoriasis (Psoriasis) or Acne: Apply honey to the affected area, cover with dressing and leave for an hour a day.
Manuka Honey Rating Systems
Note that not all manuka honey has a medical-grade. It is difficult to determine the true bioactivity or healing levels of honey. Producers use a wide variety of measures to evaluate their honey. Below are the ratings or words you will see on the manuka honey labels:
A significant number between 1 and 30 with or without a symbol.
Active or Activity words
Bio-active or Bio-activity words
UMF®
MGS (Molan Gold Standard)
MGO (can be measured the amount of MGO, methylglyoxal, manuka honey antibacterial component)
AAH (Antibacterial, Antioxidant Honey)
NPA (Peroxide Free Activity)
TA (Total Activity)
The most obvious element you will see on a manuka honey label is a number between 1 and 30. This grading system is comparable to the percentage of antibacterial activity. The higher the number on the label, the higher the antibacterial strength of manuka honey. The higher the activity, the higher the price. Only 10+ (plus) and higher manuka honey are considered suitable for active and therapeutic use. Medium range certified manuka is good (i.e. 15+). A low-certified manuka degree (ie less than 10) does not have the expected healing properties for manuka honey.
Molan Gold Standard is a guarantee of manuka honey power. Professor Molan is the founder of bioactive honey and authority in manuka honey research. In 2009, manuka, known as the Molan Gold Standard, announced the latest benchmark for excellence. This new certification uses an improved test method that produces a more precise bioactivity measurement for manuka honey. Molan developed the Gold Standard because it is outdated other rating systems and thinks its results are very variable and unreliable.
Manuka Honey Standards
Molan Gold Standard ™ is a government-recognized certification brand that evaluates the natural marker methylglyoxal with Manuka honey and guarantees purity and quality. The Molan Gold Standard has been prepared to give the consumers complete confidence that they have an accurate, scientifically performed measurement of the claimed methylglyoxal content of what they are purchasing.
Molan Gold Standard ™ was developed and named by scientist Dr. Peter Molan, who discovered the special antibacterial properties of Manuka honey when applied topically. Dr. Molan is considered one of the world’s leading honey scientists and has been researching honey on publishing well-known articles in international scientific and medical journals since 1981.
The most common grading system that measures antibacterial potential from 0 to 50 is known as the Unique Manuka Factor (UMF). The UMF trademark states that the supplier has been regulated and must perform laboratory tests on each honey lot to measure its antibacterial effect. There should also be a license number listed somewhere on the label. There is no reassurance that the label is truly medical grade when the label simply refers to a number without the letter “UMF”, that is, 15+, or just “active”. These two standards are the only standard that should be reliable.
If the jar of Manuka Honey does not have UMF or Molan Gold Standard (MGS) on the label, it should be known that a laboratory test has not been performed to measure the antibacterial effect. In fact, many honey producers have a grading system designed to test and label their honey. Non-third party Manuka honey is usually less costly and less effective when not tested with the UMF or Molan Gold standard (MGS). Don’t be fooled by low-cost manuka honey types.
Some honey types are also graded according to the amount of MGO or methylglyoxal they contain and an MGO grade is given on the label. However, this is not considered a true measure of the antibacterial activity of honey. Studies show that MGO levels are not directly related to increased antibacterial activity. For example, honey has a higher MGO value after being heated. Therefore, the MGO level is not considered a reliable rating system. The remaining points you will see in the honey are AAH, NPA, and TA. You will see these scores in cheaper honey. These are unreliable. Original, pure, natural Manuka honey must have UMF rating and Molan Gold Standard.
Understanding how honey is collected, processed and packaged is an important factor in determining the health properties of honey. Only pure, unprocessed raw honey will provide you with optimal health benefits. This is honey that is not heated above 95 degrees, kills healthy enzymes and probiotics, is not micro-filtered, destroys beneficial pollen residues and has added nothing. Organic honey is produced without herbicides or pesticides. This can be accomplished by avoiding contact with the pesticide sprayed vegetation, usually when the bees are fed in intact environments. Certified manuka honey has all these features. Since Manuka honey has medicinal properties, it is a wide range of topical uses such as wound dressings, antibiotic honey ointments, and creams to treat skin conditions.
Warnings About Manuka Honey Use
There are a few warnings about manuka honey worth mentioning! Because every health condition and person is different, manuka honey may not work for you or for any specified condition. Manuka honey is very sweet. The carbohydrate content of a teaspoon of honey is equivalent to a cup of chopped apples or roughly a third of 5.5 grams of carbohydrates.
Manuka honey is contraindicated in people with diabetes or other blood sugar problems. Individuals with diabetes with poor ability to metabolize sugar may experience increased cellular damage due to increased methylglyoxal levels. Indeed, metformin, a drug prescribed for diabetics, is designed to improve the methylglyoxal effects in the tissues of diabetic patients. Topical use is perfectly safe for diabetics. (Topical treatment is the direct application of the drugs to the skin with different methods. For example, for wound treatments of Diabetes patients.)
Honey should not be given to children under one year in case of rare botulism contamination. People with severe pollen allergies should consult their doctor. Pregnant and lactating women should consult their doctor.
Although there are many claims that eating manuka honey can treat side effects while receiving cancer treatment such as radiation and chemotherapy, the sugar content of honey is contraindicated (it is inconvenient) because the sugar cell feeds cancer cells. If the benefits of honey outweigh the potential to catch and promote cancer, you should consult with your doctor. Topical use, as with diabetes patients, is good for cancer patients.

Pastor Chris Oyakhilome speaks on the main reason for the protest in US
The President of Love World Incorporated, also known as Christ Embassy, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, says the protests and riots that have engulfed the United States in the wake of the murder of a black man, George Floyd, are not about black lives.
Oyakhilome said the protests are part of a grand scheme to get rid of the police and implant microchips into Americans and other citizens of the world with a view to controlling them.
The cleric said this in a televised sermon on Sunday.
He said once the police have been taken off the streets, microchips would be implanted into citizens which would give the government all the needed information, thereby reducing crime.
Oyakhilome said, “There are many who don’t know what is going on in the United States with the riots. It’s not about the guy that died, it is not about black folks, and it’s not about black lives matter. I will tell you what it is about. From protests to riots and then more people have died since then and the call for disbanding, abrogation, cancellation, defunding of the police.
“Why is that? (Do) you think it is limited to the United States? No, it is not. Why are they doing it? It is part of the game. It is simply because they want to come in with the alternative method for security. What is that alternative method? It is total control- RFID microchip. That is what it’s about.
“And so, you are going to find people getting rid of their police and you will see cities experimenting one after the other. The cities say no police, everyone must get the microchip. And with that, you are going to know everybody. They will know everyone and crime will be controlled and they have got the media to hype it and in spite of its failure, they will praise it like the best thing in the world. That is what it’s about.”
READ Buhari adds Mr. Ademola Seriki, Jonathan’s minister, to the list of the newly appointed nominees
Oyakhilome had in April claimed the COVID-19 pandemic and the government-ordered lockdown in Nigeria were part of a ploy to introduce 5G technology in the country.
The pastor had alleged that when people are indoors, the government would begin laying fibre optic cables for the 5G.

The new album from Charley Crockett is perhaps even more potent proof of his literal heartbreak than the scar on his chest. After undergoing open heart surgery that saved his life, Charley says he considered calming down for “just a minute” but once he recovered he did just the opposite. He states boldly with one eyebrow raised, “I wanted to make an album that would change the entire conversation about country music.”
That album is Welcome to Hard Times , an aptly-named collection that perfectly fits these troubled days even though it was made just before the pandemic hit. The music was shaped by his heart issues and producer Mark Neill’s desire to make “a dark gothic country record.” Charley certainly knew how to deliver that. “I think you can hear that deep, dark sadness in this record,” he says, “but I think it’s the kind of darkness that will uplift others.”

Cat is sure that Tree didn’t use to be that colour
Good grief.
I’m being blinded by the light reflecting off my own skin. Thanks to last year’s wholly ineffective summer, I haven’t been struck by the cancer-particle for an age. What melanin I ever possessed is long gone, chopped up for firewood or something. I am now little more than a collection of human organs in a see-through bag.
But le soleil tapait dur, as they say in French lessons. I received more dangerous photons to my surfaces yesterday than I have in the last two years, and I include X-rays in that. So while some areas of me are transparent, others are luminous. First I was at a funeral, and so got basted in sunspit before I was even ready to contemplate the idea. Very few people pause at the graveside to apply sunscreen. Then driving home I had the windows down. Only a 100kph wind was sufficient to refresh me, and it was amazingly relaxing to be basking and buffeted at the same time. A thrillingly sensual experience, like bathing in a hot air jacuzzi. I arrived home scorched.
And now I lie on a lawn, hoping to make my other parts match. I am supposed to be composing my blog here but, though I try to write in a personal way, nearly everything that has happened in the last few days has been so intensely personal, either for me or for someone close to me, that there is little on my mind that I can fairly write about. I am emotionally drained and of little use today. And so I make myself useful.
Inside, ladies of the superior generation are discussing whatever it is they discuss when I’m not there. My mother and one of her sisters, visiting another sister at the house of a cousin who… You know I’m not even sure where I am. I just drive. I am the ferry of aunts. And happily so. In the sun, the world is made of simple things.

Trying To Split The Murdochs
No Comments on Trying To Split The Murdochs
But perhaps the weak questioning is a clever tactic. Once he’s off the back foot and feeling confident again, James Murdoch sounds like a supervillain.
Now the questioner is thanking Rupert for being more helpful than James, which is surely going to make Rupert less helpful again. But it does appear that Rupert knows quite a deal about the workings of News International, making it seem like his vagueness on detail earlier was really reticence.
But now James has the helm again, and has another opening to explain how sorry they are, and how nice they will be to their former employees who didn’t get caught.
Hmm. They’ve actually gotten a commitment out of Rupert to cease paying the legal fees of Mulcaire (the investigator they paid to hack) – if they’re not obliged to do so by contract. It will be interesting to see where that goes.

Now That’s More Like Hacking
1 Comment on Now That’s More Like Hacking
The Sun - Not Famous For Truth
Funny how it doesn’t seem to be in the news this morning, but last night all the websites of Murdoch’s UK newspapers were brought down. The Sun’s by LulzSec, the fun-loving hacker network – they switched it to a fake version that announced Rupert Murdoch’s death – the rest probably pulled by News International itself in a somewhat desperate effort to protect them.
I like the humorous anarchy of LulzSec and their ilk, but I fear an organisation as media-canny as News Corporation will be able to turn this to their own advantage. You want to make Rupert Murdoch look like a victim, you attack him with something even more feared and poorly-understood than himself. Interweb hackers, that can do all sorts of mysterious and dangerous things. Things that are – sharp intake of breath – bad for business. Bring down a Murdoch website, and you give him a chance to portray himself as a champion of free speech. Which would be ironic in any number of ways, not least because most of Murdoch’s websites were not free.
Meanwhile, rumours fly that Murdoch is about to be deposed as head of News Corporation.
Meanwhile, perhaps even as you’re reading this (video feed), Murdoch and other heads of News International will be giving evidence before an investigating committee of the UK parliament. They didn’t want to much.
Meanwhile, the next domino in the Metropolitan Police has fallen: Assistant commissioner John Yates, the UK’s leading terrorism officer.
Meanwhile, the whistleblower who originally broke the phone hacking story has been found dead. The police say it’s not suspicious, but… The police say it’s not suspicious.
So thanks for the lulz, LulzSec. But it looks like things are already way beyond that.
LulzSec returns, this time aimed at Rupert Murdoch (zdnet.com)
Murdoch’s Sun newspaper is hacked by LulzSec, which at first redirected folks to fake article saying he killed himself, then to LulzSec Twitter page (guardian.co.uk)

Rebekah Gone. Rupert Going?
3 Comments on Rebekah Gone. Rupert Going?
In an inadvertent blasphemy this morning, a BBC news anchor described the leadership of the Murdoch empire as “The father, son, and Rebekah Brooks”. The unholy trinity has been broken now it seems.
I am not surprised that Brooks resigned, but I am surprised she went today. This morning the Guardian was forced to apologise for saying that the Sun had gained illegal access to medical records. There was a chance then to make it look as if all the allegations relating to Murdoch’s other UK titles, the Sun, Times, and Sunday Times, were nothing but the personal vitriol of failed PM Gordon Brown, and that therefore the problem was confined to – and died with – the News Of The World.
Today would have been the day to fight back, but instead she surrenders. It leads one to speculate that scapegoating the NOTW is a tactic they know is going to fail, that it will soon become obvious that the rot spreads further through News International.
And into its parent News Corp, owner of Fox and Dow Jones? What we need to know now is whether her journalistic methods were condoned by the father himself – and it’s hard to imagine it being otherwise. Even if he somehow managed to remain carefully uninformed about the details of practices at News International, it beggars belief to think that someone with his experience couldn’t tell.
It will be made out that he was too busy with his American and other enterprises to pay any real attention to his UK holdings. But just as questions of illegal actions by other UK Murdoch titles make it look like Brooks was the rogue element, comparable practices in the US or Australia would make it inescapable that Murdoch himself is the common factor.
We await the conclusions of the FBI with interest.

As a kid, I always liked comedy and would listen to albums by George Carlin, Bob Newhart, Bill Cosby, and Lenny Bruce. Despite my enjoyment of these great talents, I decided to pursue an unfunny career and left Los Angeles for San Francisco State College to be a lawyer. When that did not hold my attention, I switched majors and ended up getting a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Communications.

At about 1009 on 31 August 2013, passenger train 7MA8, known as ‘The Overland’, was travelling from Melbourne to Adelaide when it collided with a Holden Rodeo dual cab utility on the Mahers Road level crossing at Inverleigh, Victoria.
The sole occupant of the utility was seriously injured and transferred to Royal Melbourne Hospital. The locomotive crew suffered from shock, but none of the train’s 103 passengers were injured.
What the ATSB found
The ATSB’s investigation found that the driver of the utility was travelling along a maintenance access track adjacent to the railway before he turned into Mahers Road. As a result, he was provided with no warning of the approaching train.
The investigation also found that, at some time in the past, the railway property boundary fence had been removed, thereby providing local vehicle access along the railway maintenance track. As a result, over time and with regular use, the false perception that the maintenance track was part of Gallagher Road was created and reinforced.
Since the maintenance access track was not a public road, neither the ARTC nor the Golden Plains Shire had identified a need to provide traffic control.
What's been done as a result
The Australian Rail Track Corporation and the Golden Plains Shire have advised that they will work together to permanently isolate the rail corridor from Gallagher Road.
This incident highlights the need for road and rail authorities to work together in maintaining the integrity of fences and structures used to exclude public access to the railway corridor.
The occurrence also highlights the need for drivers of motor vehicles to be vigilant at railway level crossings.

At 08081 on 31 August 2013, passenger train 7MA8 departed Southern Cross Station Melbourne, Victoria, bound for Adelaide, South Australia. The train travelled southward passing through North Geelong at 0946, before heading west.
At 1008:38, as the train approached the Mahers Road level crossing at Inverleigh (about 27 km west of North Geelong ), the level crossing flashing lights and bells began to operate. Seven seconds later, the boom barriers also began to operate.
At 1008:46, when the train was about 455 m from the level crossing, the driver sounded the train’s horn. The train was travelling at a speed of 78 km/h and its headlight was illuminated.
As the train approached the level crossing, the train crew observed a Holden Rodeo dual cab utility (utility) travelling west along the unsealed maintenance access track adjacent to the railway (Figure ).

At 1009:01, when the train was about 116 m from the level crossing and travelling at a speed of 84 km/h, the train driver again sounded the horn. While the section of track permitted a line speed of 115 km/h, the train had just traversed a temporary speed restriction and its speed was gradually being increased.
The train crew observed the utility continue along the access track, it then entered Mahers Road and turned into the lowered level crossing boom barrier, striking the end of the boom. The utility then came to a stand fouling the railway line.
At 1009:06, the train driver made an emergency brake application, but the train could not be stopped in time and collided with the front of the utility. The utility was spun around and it came to a rest on the side of the track. The train stopped about 370 m beyond the level crossing.
The train crew notified the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC) network control centre in Adelaide and the message was passed on to emergency services who attended shortly after.
The sole occupant of the utility was seriously injured and transferred to Royal Melbourne Hospital. The locomotive crew suffered from shock, but none of the train’s passengers were injured.
The locomotive was damaged, but it was temporarily repaired and the train was allowed to advance to Barwon Park (about 5 km west of Inverleigh) where the locomotive was exchanged.
At 1426, the train departed Barwon Park. It resumed its journey to Adelaide and was running about 4 hours behind schedule.
By 1837, the Mahers Road level crossing equipment had been repaired and the crossing reopened.
Train 7MA8
The train, known as ‘The Overland’, was a passenger service operated by Great Southern Rail (GSR) that ran twice a week between Melbourne and Adelaide. 2 The train consisted of one locomotive (NR70) hauling eight carriages with a total length of 215 m and a mass of 535 t. There were 103 passengers and 7 staff on board.
Train handling
Based on an analysis of the available evidence, the handling of the train is considered to have been appropriate and within operational requirements. Therefore, train handling is not considered to be a factor in the collision.
Gallagher Road is a local unsealed road located about 140 m east of, and running parallel to, Mahers Road. According to the Department of Planning and Community Development Victoria map of land titles, the road terminates at the railway property boundary. There was provision for a nearby road right-of-way between Gallagher Road and Mahers Road to the south of the railway corridor boundary (Figure ). However, a road had not been constructed on the right-of-way.
The council responsible for the local roads, Golden Plains Shire, listed the right-of-way as an unmade road, meaning that it was not a public road under the provisions of the council’s Road Management Plan 2013.
The road used by the utility, known locally as the ‘Gallagher Road Extension’ (Figure ) was, in fact, a railway maintenance access track located entirely within the railway corridor on land leased by the Australian Rail Track Corporation (ARTC). Nevertheless, many commercial mapping providers, including VicRoads, had incorrectly identified the maintenance access track as a road.
Examination of the site after the collision established that although the maintenance access track was not a public road it was regularly used by local traffic to gain access between Gallagher Road and Mahers Road (Error: Reference source not found and Error: Reference source not found).
There were also coils of fencing wire and remnants of concrete posts found near the junction of Gallagher Road and the railway property boundary (Error: Reference source not found). This indicates that the railway corridor had at some point in time been fenced off to prevent access to the railway corridor and the maintenance access track. The investigation could not determine when the boundary fence was removed.

Figure : View looking along the access track towards Mahers Road
Figure : Discarded fencing
The level crossing traffic control devices installed at Mahers Road were consistent with the requirements of Australian Standard AS1742.7 Manual of uniform traffic control devices, Part 7: Railway crossings. The installation included flashing signals and boom barrier assemblies, road markings and advance warning signs on Mahers Road, and audible warning devices intended for pedestrians.
Since the maintenance access track was not a public road, there were no level crossing traffic control devices (flashing lights or road signage) provided.
The available data confirms that the equipment operated as designed.
ALCAM survey data
The Australian Level Crossing Assessment Model (ALCAM) is a computer based risk assessment model used as a basis for determining level crossing risk. While ALCAM takes into account over 70 factors for each level crossing, including local characteristics and controls, the risks associated with vehicles entering the crossing from the maintenance access track would not have been a factor considered as part of an ALCAM survey.
Railway corridor access
Examination of the site after the collision established that, at some time in the past, the fence at the Gallagher Road/railway property boundary had been removed, thereby providing vehicle access along the railway maintenance track. As a result, over time and with regular use, the false perception that the maintenance track was part of Gallagher Road was created and reinforced.
Since the maintenance access track was not a public road, neither the ARTC nor the Golden Plains Shire had identified a need to provide traffic control devices for what was a private railway maintenance access track.
Utility driver actions
The driver was travelling along the maintenance access track with the intention of turning right onto Mahers Road and then traversing the crossing. As a result, it is likely that his attention would have been primarily directed towards observing any road traffic approaching from either the left or the right.
As the driver was approaching the intersection, the flashing signal and boom barrier assembly were at 90 degrees to his direction of travel and almost directly in front of the vehicle (Figure ). Consequently, the boom barrier (when lowered) would have been pointing almost directly at the driver rather than being orientated across the driver’s intended path. Similarly, the flashing lights were directed along Mahers Road rather than the maintenance track.
With the orientation of the traffic control devices set for Mahers Road, it is likely that the driver did not detect the lights or barrier and was unaware of the train approaching from behind. As the vehicle was turned onto Mahers Road and struck the tip of the boom barrier, the driver stopped. However, the vehicle was fouling the railway line and did not clear it in time to avoid the collision.
Figure : Approaching level crossing from access track
From the evidence available, the following findings are made with respect to the collision between train 7MA8 and a dual cab utility at Inverleigh, Victoria, on 31 August 2013. These findings should not be read as apportioning blame or liability to any particular organisation or individual.
Safety issues, or system problems, are highlighted in bold to emphasise their importance. A safety issue is an event or condition that increases safety risk and (a) can reasonably be regarded as having the potential to adversely affect the safety of future operations, and (b) is a characteristic of an organisation or a system, rather than a characteristic of a specific individual, or characteristic of an operating environment at a specific point in time.
Contributing factors
The driver of the dual cab utility used the maintenance access track adjacent to the railway to travel between Gallagher Road and Mahers Road. He was travelling in the same direction as the train and was not aware it was approaching when he turned into Mahers road and the level crossing.
The boundary fence between the railway maintenance access track and Gallagher Road had been removed. As a result, over time and with regular use, the false perception that the maintenance access track was part of Gallagher Road was created and reinforced. [Safety issue]
The safety issues identified during this investigation are listed in the Findings and Safety issues and actions sections of this report. The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) expects that all safety issues identified by the investigation should be addressed by the relevant organisations. In addressing those issues, the ATSB prefers to encourage relevant organisations to proactively initiate safety action, rather than to issue formal safety recommendations or safety advisory notices.
All of the directly involved parties were provided with a draft report and invited to provide submissions. As part of that process, each organisation was asked to communicate what safety actions, if any, they had carried out or were planning to carry out in relation to each safety issue relevant to their organisation.

All local councils and track managers.
Safety issue description:
The boundary fence between the railway maintenance access track and Gallagher Road had been removed. As a result, over time and with regular use, the false perception that the maintenance access track was part of Gallagher Road was created and reinforced.
As a result of this occurrence, the ARTC has advised that they are taking the following safety actions:
The Australian Rail Track Corporation will commit to work with the Golden Plains Shire Council, as the relevant road authority and adjoining land owner to achieve the permanent closure of the section of Gallagher Road, which is located on the rail corridor. The safe and permanent closure of the roadway at the surveyed boundary requires signage to be installed on the main part of Gallagher Road; hence the safe and effective permanent closure is seen to be a joint project.
Action number: RO-2013-023-NSA-25
ATSB comment in response:
The ATSB is satisfied that the actions proposed by the Australian Rail Track Corporation, in combination with Golden Plains Shire, will adequately address this safety issue.
The Golden Plains Shire council has advised that:
The Golden Plains Shire Council has recently updated its Road Management Plan and intends to revise its Register of Public Roads for the purpose of clarifying the status of roads currently classed as Unmade Roads. The revision will result in roads currently included on the register as a public road and classed as an unmade road, being removed from the register. The council will jointly work with the ARTC to isolate the rail reserve from the road reservation.
The ATSB is satisfied that the actions taken and proposed by Golden Plains Shire, in combination with the Australian Rail Track Corporation, will adequately address this safety issue.
Current status of the safety issue:
Issue status: Adequately addressed

Under Part 4, Division 2 (Investigation Reports), Section 26 of the Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003, the ATSB may provide a draft report, on a confidential basis, to any person whom the ATSB considers appropriate. Section 26 (1) (a) of the Act allows a person receiving a draft report to make submissions to the ATSB about the draft report.
A draft of this report was provided to Golden Plains Shire, the Australian Rail Track Corporation, Great Southern Rail, Victoria Police, Pacific National, and the utility driver.
Submissions were received from Golden Plains Shire, the Australian Rail Track Corporation, Great Southern Rail, Pacific National, and the utility driver. The submissions were reviewed and where considered appropriate, the text of the report was amended accordingly.
The Australian Transport Safety Bureau (ATSB) is an independent Commonwealth Government statutory agency. The ATSB is governed by a Commission and is entirely separate from transport regulators, policy makers and service providers. The ATSB’s function is to improve safety and public confidence in the aviation, marine and rail modes of transport through excellence in: independent investigation of transport accidents and other safety occurrences; safety data recording, analysis and research; fostering safety awareness, knowledge and action.
The ATSB is responsible for investigating accidents and other transport safety matters involving civil aviation, marine and rail operations in Australia that fall within Commonwealth jurisdiction, as well as participating in overseas investigations involving Australian registered aircraft and ships. A primary concern is the safety of commercial transport, with particular regard to fare-paying passenger operations.
The ATSB performs its functions in accordance with the provisions of the Transport Safety Investigation Act 2003 and Regulations and, where applicable, relevant international agreements.
The object of a safety investigation is to identify and reduce safety-related risk. ATSB investigations determine and communicate the factors related to the transport safety matter being investigated.
It is not a function of the ATSB to apportion blame or determine liability. At the same time, an investigation report must include factual material of sufficient weight to support the analysis and findings. At all times the ATSB endeavours to balance the use of material that could imply adverse comment with the need to properly explain what happened, and why, in a fair and unbiased manner.
Central to the ATSB’s investigation of transport safety matters is the early identification of safety issues in the transport environment. The ATSB prefers to encourage the relevant organisation(s) to initiate proactive safety action that addresses safety issues. Nevertheless, the ATSB may use its power to make a formal safety recommendation either during or at the end of an investigation, depending on the level of risk associated with a safety issue and the extent of corrective action undertaken by the relevant organisation.
When safety recommendations are issued, they focus on clearly describing the safety issue of concern, rather than providing instructions or opinions on a preferred method of corrective action. As with equivalent overseas organisations, the ATSB has no power to enforce the implementation of its recommendations. It is a matter for the body to which an ATSB recommendation is directed to assess the costs and benefits of any particular means of addressing a safety issue.
When the ATSB issues a safety recommendation to a person, organisation or agency, they must provide a written response within 90 days. That response must indicate whether they accept the recommendation, any reasons for not accepting part or all of the recommendation, and details of any proposed safety action to give effect to the recommendation.
The ATSB can also issue safety advisory notices suggesting that an organisation or an industry sector consider a safety issue and take action where it believes it appropriate. There is no requirement for a formal response to an advisory notice, although the ATSB will publish any response it receives.

Is MSNBC Starting to Edge out Joy Reid? Her Sunday Schedule Pushed Back for a Soccer Game? UPDATE: 10/23/2017 …Happily, Joy is busier than ever!!!
Posted on May 21, 2017 by insightanalytical
Update: Joy is subbing for practically everyone and in an interview she stated that she really enjoys seeing how all the shows work. She is appearing on Meet the Press occasionally, and recently went to the Virgin Islands to report on the hurricane disaster there. She continues to report on the Puerto Rico and the Virgin Islands.
GO JOY!!!
By InsightAnalytical-GRL
OK, maybe I’m just being hypersensitive about how MSNBC is shoving out a lot of people who are deemed as being “too far left” for the taste of Andrew Lack. (very interesting Lack bio at Comcast.com corporate: Andrew Lack.) We are in the dark about the fate of Lawrence O’Donnell but the purge started a long while back when Melissa Harris Perry blew the whistle on the network. God forbid that a show is devoted to a serious round table dealing with current issues involving the issue of Black America. Rev. Al’s Politics Nation has been reduced to early A.M. on Sunday. And the list goes on
Joy Reid had her own show during the afternoons that was axed around the time that Alex Wagner’s NOW , the Cycle, Ronan Farrow Daily and The Ed Show were cancelled in February 2015. The Reid Report was struggling with low ratings as was the whole lineup.
Reid stayed on with the network, filling in and covering the 2016 campaign and became more visible and a real stalwart. She was rewarded with her weekend AM Joy program which is a top destination for thinking people. (Of course, she COULD have been given the slot have Greta Van Susteren was given but…) Her show is delivering great ratings and Joy has been writing books and as well as essays at sites like the Daily Beast…so, she’s blossoming as a media star. See her outdated MSNBC bio here: Joy Reid outdated biography MSNBC.
So, why is MSNBC shoving Joy’s show around as the Trump scandals heat up? Joy has been a leader in questioning the whole lot of GOP lackeys, and has been ahead of the pack in questioning the role of VP Mike Pence and his knowledge of Gen. Mike Flynn’s lies. She has been steadily calling out the entire bunch over at the Daily Beast, Her latest scathing salvo dated May 20, 2017 is entitled Donald Trump Knows Just How Bad the Russia Investigation Can Get
My favorite quotation from this piece is classic Joy:
“(We are asked to believe Mike Pence, the head of the transition team, heard this confession and the warnings about Flynn from the then-acting attorney general with his index fingers stuck firmly in his little lamb ears.)”
BUT…as Joy Reid’s audience grows, could this be a bit too much for MSNBC?
Today, Joy’s show is being pushed back 2 hours because there is a Premier League soccer match that MUST be shown in her regular Sunday time slot. ?????
Now, checking the NBCSN schedule, I can see that, yes, other games are being dropped onto other NBC outlets. CNBC, Esquire, USA, Bravo, SyFy, E!, Oxygen, Telemundo and NBC Universo are ALL showing games at the same time, 10 AM ET. NBCSport.com/tv-lisings
Now, I’m a huge soccer fan…was one before it became more popular. I had season tickets for the Cosmos at the midfield line just behind the players’ family section at the old Giants Stadium, where I saw all the greats. Back in the late 70’s/early 80’s I was writing letters and calling Don Imus to lobby for coverage because the media was blacking out most coverage. For example, while 34,000 of us were watching a game in the rain, the only news was that baseball had been rained out. I can say that my letter to the New York Times was published and Imus reported the score of that game! So, my sports activism worked!
So, now, as someone more devoted to political activism, I have to call into question what’s going on at MSNBC…and today, specifically, the decision to push Joy Reid back 2 hours so a Hull-Tottenham match is aired instead of the best discussion of current politics.
Really, MSNBC????
I’ll be revisiting the Lack influence at some point since his bio discusses his former life at Bloomberg…..

The Maison Chopard announced that it will be an official partner of No Time To Die, the 25th James Bond film. The Maison Chopard is delighted to announce its collaboration with EON Productions, on the creation of a unique jewellery collection named Happy Hearts - Golden Hearts. This is limited edition of 7007 fine jewellery creations.
The heart – for which the French equivalent cœur comes from the Latin cor behind the word "courage" – is the emblem of the Maison and synonymous with bravery. Through this new jewellery line, which is inspired by the iconic Chopard Happy Hearts Collection, Co-President and Artistic Director Caroline Scheufele shares her vision of the James Bond Woman: a determined and courageous woman. She decided to reinterpret the Happy Hearts by filling the hearts with ethical rose gold as gold is a leitmotif embedded in the James Bond DNA, for example; Goldfinger (1964), The Man with the Golden Gun (1974) and GoldenEye (1995).
The Happy Hearts - Golden Hearts Collection includes a bracelet, earrings, pendant and sautoir necklace, playfully alternating between a large golden heart with a smaller heart containing the famous dancing diamond, another signature of the Maison and a symbol of freedom and adventure. A second version offers the same design with the large heart delicately set with diamonds. As with all Chopard jewellery and watch creations since 2018, the gold used is ethical, making these talismans as beautiful inside as they are outside, while even more precious: ethical, light, supple and easy-to-wear.
Sustainability is the central theme of Coincasa Spring collection that marks the beginning of a
process of a growing commitment towards research on products made with respect of the
environment and its resources. A new line of research will be born with a specific label that will
represent a continuity with some contents in every collection.
Sustainable theme covers about half of the options of the total Spring collection.
A specific communication project will give evidence to the different contents of the products of this
line: materials, manufacturing and production processes.
ZERO IMPACT – stylistic notes
A wide selection of articles brings with it a story of values related to those who have designed and
produced, the materials they are made of and the processes necessary to achieve them. The look
is informal, authentic. Natural materials are used as possible so that they determine the color and
texture of surfaces.
It only takes a few simple daily gestures to make our life more environmentally friendly and
respectful of the planet. Use energy-saving light bulbs, prefer natural fibers like cotton, silk, linen,

The collection Gourmette from the Jewelry House Roberto Coin is a declaration of love to traditional Italian craftsmanship. Simplicity is often understood as excellence and eternity, both of which are characteristic for this collection. The roots of the Gourmette design date back to the history of jewelry art, but the collection remains a symbol of independent and unusual elegance.
Sauvage Privé is the most vanguard of all works created by Roberto Coin from the date of establishment of the brand in 1996. According to the designer, it is an embodiment of a woman of future years distinguished by two characteristics: passionate and conscious.
In ancient Egypt, the ruby was considered to be the only precious stone with magic properties and fabulous positive energy. As legend has it, kings used to give rubies to their wives as a present and they believed that contact of a ruby with the skin would bring success and happiness to them.
The creative world of the Jewelry House Roberto Coin cannot be imagined without the collection dedicated to the symbol of beauty and grace – a flower. A floral gem is a part of the great creative bunch – Princess Flower collections.
From the date of its establishment in 1830, the House of Christofle has cultivated its unique know-how by streamlining its methods and technique in order to keep up with the times.
The popular French manufacturer of tableware and silver items for table appointments, Christofle presents a new product – a set Concorde, which combines cosmopolitan lines and bold conception of silver cut.
Jack Heuer created the Carrera watch in 1963 in honor of Carrera Panamericana race, famous for being the most dangerous in the world.

A real Persian carpet is not a tribute to fashion; otherwise, these products are out of fashion, not subject to its influence and momentary whims.
The collection is based on the Golden Deco capsule line with fern leaves as the main decorative pattern. Delicate handmade embroidery decorates smooth jacquard fabrics, and the gold reminds of antiquity and classical art.
Despite its massive manufacturing and trade capabilities, Lladro remains an art studio the works of which are exhibited at the most popular museums of the world.

In-depth Analysis of DX11 Crysis Shows Highly Questionable Tessellation Usage
When Crysis 2's DX11 support finally arrived post-launch via several large patches, Crytek CEO Cervat Yerli described the option as a "gift," having apparently forgotten that the game was marketed with DX11 support from day one. The updated visuals and textures may have mollified some PC buyers, but research done by the Tech Report indicates that Crytek's DX11 implementation is highly dubious at best.
Normally a simple slab like this would consist of a handful of huge triangles. The DX11 version could star in its own title, World of Concrete. Image courtesy of Tech Report
Using an AMD tool called GPU PerfStudio, it's possible to see which objects and surfaces have been tessellated and where the GPU is spending the bulk of its rendering time. We recommend reading the entire article, but there's compelling evidence that certain surfaces in Crysis 2--like concrete blocks--are rendered in extremely high detail, even when there's no visual improvement to doing so.
Water is another issue. At present, there are multiple game areas where water is only visible in one small area or isn't visible at all. Despite this, the game is still rendering (and tessellating) an invisible ocean underneath the player's feet.
Not all of the DX11 optimizations in Crysis 2 are wasted, but this isn't the first time we've seen DX11 games or benchmarks create false performance dichotomies by ratcheting up tessellation levels in surfaces where insane polygon counts don't actually create a visible quality increase. Both HAWX 2 and Unigine's tessellation benchmark engage in this type of behavior. Scott notes: "Unnecessary geometric detail slows down all GPUs, of course, but it just so happens to have a much larger effect on DX11-capable AMD Radeons than it does on DX11-capable Nvidia GeForces... The guys at Hardware.fr found that enabling tessellation dropped the frame rates on recent Radeons by 31-38%. The competing GeForces only suffered slowdowns of 17-21%."
There's no reason why Crysis 2 should suffer from some of these issues, particularly since DX11 implementation was delayed to give the team time to get it right. Unigine's 'Extreme' tessellation settings could be written off as a synthetic benchmark's attempt to push one particular aspect of DX11. HAWX 2's use of tessellation was more noteworthy, but was just a single title. Now, with Crysis 2, we again see evidence of DX11 mis-usage that happens to favor Team Green.
It's something we'll be keeping an eye on.

Concert of the Year? Pink gets a gold star for dazzling show: She sings, she soars, she sparkles!

Pink, whose Truth About Love Tour kicked off its U.S. leg in Phoenix last week, with 99 total shows planned worldwide, touched down in Houston’s Toyota Center on Thursday for a sold-out performance. Even those not familiar with Pink through her 2009 Funhouse tour will remember her breathtaking, unforgettable acrobatic performance of “Glitter in the Air” at the 2010 Grammys.
One mark of a good concert is that you may not know every song in the program when you enter, but you walk out wondering how fast you can get home and start downloading. Pink delivered that and more.
How Pink can sing while hanging upside down suspended by three male dancers is a mystery.
The first thing I noticed was the age of the crowd. After going to a Justin Bieber concert last year, where the average age seemed to be about 12, and a Paul McCartney concert that was geared to the baby boomer generation, the Pink fan is harder to peg and includes a slightly older crowd, though clearly not one that had to be coaxed out of their seats. Yep Yanni fans, that would be you.
The Hives, a Swedish garage band, opened for Pink with a short, highly energetic set which, unlike many opening acts, brought enthusiastic applause.
Game show start
Pink’s concert starts as a TV game show, with a slightly annoying emcee scanning the crowd for someone to compete on "The Truth About Love." Surprise! Pink is selected as the contestant and then makes her entrance by being shot into the air on bungee cords as she opens with “Raise Your Glass.”
It is a dramatic and stunning number, and how Pink can sing while hanging upside down suspended by three male dancers is a mystery.
The 21-song setlist uses vignettes about one night stands, rejection, parties and regret as a way to introduce songs from her sixth Grammy nominated album, Truth About Love.
I have always said that Chris Martin, frontman of Coldplay is the hardest working entertainer around, but I’m reconsidering, and now I’m giving Pink the nod.
Pink quickly moved into some of chart topping hits and fan favorites including "Walk of Shame," "Just Like a Pill,” "F***in' Perfect," "So What," “Family Portrait” and her latest singles, “Try” and "Just Give Me A Reason," featuring Nate Ruess.
I have always said that Chris Martin, frontman of Coldplay is the hardest working entertainer around, but I’m reconsidering, and now I’m giving Pink the nod. A Pink concert is a little like a Cirque du Soleil performance. There is so much happening on stage—the songs, the dancing and of course the acrobatics—it is a feast for the senses. Sometimes there were so many dancers on the stage that I had trouble finding Pink.
The stage set was an elaborate production with five screens, one of which was in the shape of a heart, along with dramatic staircases, a wildly talented five piece band, two back-up singers and a high octane crew of dancers.
Pink made numerous costume changes, many of which showed off her phenomenally toned body. I was particularly drawn to her footwear choices. For some numbers she performed barefoot, but she also sported boots, high high heels and sneakers.
Best for last
Pink’s voice sounded strong, especially considering that most of the numbers included strenuous dancing or physically demanding acrobatics. And if she used back-up vocals no one seemed to care.
During one of the few pauses, Pink asked the audience how many people had been to a prior concert of hers. The audience erupted in cheers. Pink acknowledged the fans by reaching out to grasp hands of those near the stage during several numbers and chatted with fans, saying that her daughter was in the audience and appearing to wave to her saying, “She is a better dancer than I.”
With Madonna’s last concert tour playing to mixed reviews and Lady Gaga cancelling her 2013 tour, Pink may prove to be the concert of the year.
Pink saved the best for last. Dressed in a gold bodysuit and strapped into a harness, she flew over the crowd several times, singing “So What,” taking brief stops on perches set up on each side of the arena. She got so close that some in the audience said they could see the detail on her costume.
It was so spectacular and mind-blowing that there was not one person in the crowd who was not trying to capture the moment on their camera. But Pink was not done. Reprising her famed Grammy performance, "Glitter in the Air," she was again in the air for a hauntingly beautiful performance that had her spinning gracefully as she sang.
With Madonna’s last concert tour playing to mixed reviews and Lady Gaga cancelling her 2013 tour, Pink may prove to be the concert of the year. Based on the reactions of fans at the Toyota Center Thursday night, Pink gets a gold star.

Biomanipulation – A Fishy business!
The Broad
Focus on Science
Tracking Bream and Pike
Water Sampling Guide
Using state of the art technology and ground-breaking techniques, this project will transform Hoveton Great Broad from its current brown, mucky, lifeless state to a clear, pristine, species-rich wildlife haven.
What’s wrong with the broad?
Hoveton Great Broad was once a clear plant-rich lake but for many years it’s been in a mucky, brown, lifeless state due to poor-quality polluted water entering it from the River Bure. Without clear water, plants cannot thrive and without the plants, the lake cannot support the wonderful variety of fish, birds and insects that it once did.
Over the last 30 years, thanks to better sewage treatment and improvements in farming practices, river water quality has greatly improved and the time is now right to restore the broad to its former glory.
How do you ‘fix’ a broad?
To restore the broad, we will use two techniques – sediment removal and biomanipulation (temporary fish removal). Together, these techniques should create the perfect conditions for plants to flourish once more. For more information, click here:
Biomanipulation
Water fleas to the rescue!
The aim of this project is to create clear water. This will allow the plants to germinate and grow back. The real key to achieving this is fish removal. By removing the fish, the water fleas (zooplankton) that they feed on, will thrive and feast on the algae that gives the water its horrid brown colour. Once the fish are removed, the water flea feasting should quickly clear the water (almost like magic!).
Over the course of the project, we expect to return the broad to a clear water state. Within 10 years, we expect to see wildlife starting to flourish once more. Dense reedy margins will provide nesting sites for birds, shoals of rudd and perch will dart through a developing underwater jungle and the air above will hum with the wing beats of dragonflies, damselflies and a whole host of other insects. At least that’s what we’re hoping for.
Ahhh, but how do you know it will work!
All the techniques used in the project have been tried and tested in the broads before – but this is the first time they’ve been used all together!

The unwavering optimism of Tim O’Reilly
For better or worse, Tim O’Reilly has become known as something of an oracle for the technology industry in his forty-year career as a technical publisher, author and venture capitalist, credited with coining terms like Open Source and Web 2.0.
Today, O’Reilly finds himself in the interesting position of being both a techno-optimist – for instance, about how artificial intelligence could augment human workers and help solve existential problems like climate change – while also being a fierce critic of the new power centres technology has created, particularly in Silicon Valley.
Finding a new class of problem
“I totally think that there is a massive opportunity for us to augment humans to do things, we need the machines,” O’Reilly told InfoWorld last week, from his home in Oakland, California.
With the world facing a rapidly ageing population, and the pressing need to prevent climate catastrophe, “we’ll be lucky if the AI and the robots arrive in time, quite honestly,” he says.
“There are such enormous challenges facing our society. Inequity and inequality is a huge part of it. But for me, one of the really big ones is climate change,” he says. “We have to solve this problem or we’re all toast. We’re going to need every bit of ingenuity to do that. I think it will become the focus of innovation.”
That change in focus could also lead to an enormous raft of new jobs, he argues – provided the planet shifts away from fossil fuels, and what he describes as the “Ponzi scheme” of startup valuations.
O’Reilly stops short of pushing for the sweeping radicalism of “a new socialism”, but he insists that “we have to design this system for human flourishing.”
The end of the golden age of the programmer
But what does that look like? How do we reskill the workforce to focus on this new class of problems, while ensuring the spoils are spread evenly, and not concentrated in the hands of big tech companies? Or entrepreneurs like Elon Musk, whom O’Reilly admires.
Short of telling people to “learn to code”, O’Reilly sees a new set of literacies being required if the workforce of the future is to take advantage of the oncoming “augmentation” that intelligent systems could enable.
“I think the golden age of the last couple of decades where you can become a programmer and you’ll get a job… is sort of over,” O’Reilly says. “Programming is now more like being able to read and write. You just have to be able to do it to be able to get the most out of the tools and the environments that you’re presented with, whatever they are.”
“Every working scientist today is a programmer,” he adds. “Programming can make a journalist more successful, programming can make a marketer more successful, programming can make a salesperson more successful, programming can make an HR person more successful. Having technical literacy is on the same level as being good at reading, writing, and speaking.”
No silver bullets
O’Reilly isn’t blind to the trade-offs that society has made for the convenience that certain technologies bring. How does he maintain such a sunny disposition when it comes to the potential of technology in the face of growing inequality, the erosion of privacy, and the disinformation crisis that Silicon Valley has wrought?
“It’s quite clear that we’re now really aware of the enormous risks of these technologies, the risks for abuse,” he says, adding that he doesn’t believe government should be singled out to solve all of these issues.
Although O’Reilly recognises that Congress recently announcing that it will legislate to regulate facial recognition technology is a step in the right direction, he notes that it’s not nearly comprehensive enough to truly mitigate the risks. “We’re not really getting to the root of our engagement with the question of what is the governance structure for technologies that are really changing our society,” he says.
Complex problems require complex solutions. Take the recent exodus of advertising revenue from Facebook, where brands such as Unilever and Ben and Jerry’s have pulled their marketing dollars from the social network over its policies surrounding hate speech.
O’Reilly argues that Facebook is only doing what it is designed to do and has been thus far rewarded by the market for doing: attract as many eyeballs as possible and sell ads against that attention using algorithms.
“If you understand how algorithmic systems work, you realise they are curatorial systems, they represent choices,” O’Reilly says. “We need to have a completely different conversation about it. So too with facial recognition, it’s on a continuum with all kinds of other technologies that take away people’s privacy. On that continuum are things that people like and embrace and want, and things that they don’t want.”
There is no silver bullet to solve these issues, but there are some steps that could be taken to realign the priorities of technology companies with those of society at large.
“Until we build ethical principles more broadly into our company governance – which things like the B Corp movement have tried to do – we have to take this as a comprehensive problem, with comprehensive solutions,” O’Reilly says.
What next for open source?
As a long-time exponent of the power of open source, where does this community fit in to O’Reilly’s vision for technology to help solve society’s biggest problems?
“Open source is really challenged in this world, it’s not going to be the same thing that it was in the PC era,” he says.
Tracing open source back to its roots, there have always been a plethora of opinions around what open source truly means, from the Free Software Foundation’s definition, to the computer scientists at UC Berkley, or the MIT X Window System, which O’Reilly is most closely aligned with.
The central idea here is that all code should be openly available to be modified and copied, with the overall aim being to push forward the state of the art.
“If you look at where open source is really thriving it is in areas like science, where there’s not that desire to make a lot of money off of this, they just want other people to be able to use this and benefit from it,” he says.
“That’s why, for example, very early on in the open source discussion, I was saying data is going to be the new source of lock-in, we shouldn’t be so focused on source code,” he adds. “If we had focused a lot more on issues of what it means when somebody controls the data, when somebody controls the algorithms which shape what data people see? That’s where the open source discussion needs to be now.”

Week 34 in review: Galaxy S20 Fan Edition, Zenfone 7/7 Pro leak
on August 24, 2020 at 6:50 am
Another week is over and done, so let's look at the top stories. The US patched its ban on Huawei by adding some 38 third-party companies that Huawei used to circumvent some of the restrictions. Thus Huawei effectively is left without access to US-based chips and chip technology and could end up without a chip supplier for its phones. We spotted renders of what could prove to be the Sony Xperia 5 II. While we're very eager for a successor to the tiny and powerful Xperia of 2019, this likely isn't it as the renders look like a miniaturized version of the Xperia 1 II so were likley...

Top 10 trending phones of week 34
We had no major announcements this week, which allowed the pair of Ultras to retain the top two spots - the Xiaomi Mi 10 Ultra still ahead of the Galaxy Note20 Ultra. The Realme X7 is just around the corner and it appears quite a few a paying attention as it made the top 3 before it made the stage. The Redmi Note 9 Pro leads the vanilla Note 9 in fourth and fifth as another rumored phone, the Zenfone 7 took sixth in the week leading to its announcement. The OnePlus Nord has slipped all the way down to seventh, as the veteran that is the Galaxy A51 is now eight. The Redmi 9... The post Top 10 trending phones of week 34 appeared first on HOW TO MADE.

Queen Victoria and now
Last school holidays we went to Melbourne for a few days. One of the many great places we visited was the Old Melbourne Gaol*. It doesn’t look like much on the outside, but it was my favourite place of all the places we visited. Each cell is set up with information about a particular prisoner or prisoners, general information about the gaol or a re-enactment of conditions faced by prisoners. One of the displays had the following information about female prisoners:
Women criminals were treated quite differently from men. In the century dominated by Queen Victoria, loving wife (and grief stricken widow) of Prince Albert and devoted mother of nine children, women were expected to be nurturning, passive, submissive, self sacrificing, gentle and delicate. Men, on the other hand, were dominating, powerful, authoritative, strong and protective. It was deplorable but inevitable that men should commit crimes but when women did so they were thought unnatural – traitors to their sex.
So really, have things changed that much since Queen Victoria’s day in the way female criminals are seen by society? Are some parts of society more likely to fall victim to this type of thinking than others?
*Old Melbourne Gaol is a sandstone building. Inside the gaol there are three levels of cells, reached by steep iron staircases. Unfortunately there are no lifts inside so anyone not able to climb steep staircases cannot access the whole site and many of the doorways are narrow. You might fit a wheelchair in but a scooter may have difficulty fitting through.

Only about a year ago or so, a report was released on this subject. The research focused on attitudes of magistrates to women and showed a strong tendency toward biases based on gender roles. For example, women who adhered quite closely to prescribed ideals of femininity, in appearance (white), voice tone, attitude etc. were treated with far more lenience by magistrates than were women who were Aboriginal, butch, loud, not demure enough etc. I can’t think of the name of the report off hand but if you really wanted it I could find it.
The attitudes documented in the report can also be found within other areas of criminal justice, for example among law enforcement agents, prison officers, lawyers and social services that target this particular group. You could probably trace these attitudes back to classical understandings of crime, criminality and penology. It’s really just a reflection of gendered expectations in the broader context.
Anecdotally, I can tell you that the personal accounts I have heard from women in the justice system would support the findings of the report.
Good questions, Mindy.
This post is kind of timely in light of this article about a book which seems to raise serious doubts about the medical evidence on the basis of which Kathleen Folbigg was convicted for murdering her children.
Whcih also calls to mind the Sally Clark case, in which an expert gave bad statistical evidence which resulted in her conviction; that conviction was later overturned on appeal.
The two cases are different, and especially given this topic: for example, in Ms Folbigg’s case, much of the evidence was circumstantial and a large amount was from her own diary. However, in both, and particularly in the focus on the mother in relation to SIDS deaths, I see a reflection of the attitude you mention.
And then there is this article with the headline “Addicts aren’t necessarily bad mothers, study finds”. It’s quite a good article. Here’s the first para:
MANY mothers with a history of serious drug use are still capable of caring for their children, given the right support, a new study has found. But most mothers in the state’s methadone programs were not getting the services they needed.
Note the lack of reference to fathers – which may well be because the study itself focused on mothers. But even that might just reveal the social expectation that a mother will be part of a child’s life unless the State steps in, but a father might not be – and all the social expectations that come along with that.

Belgode Narasimha Harish Jawaharlal Institute of Postgraduate Medical Education and Research (JIPMER), Puducherry, India
Keywords: Adenovirus; Keratoconjunctivitis; Multiplex Polymerase Chain Reaction; Immunofluorescence assay; viral culture; Bayesian Latent Class Model
Introduction: Highly contagious adenoviral conjunctivitis represents 15-70% of all conjunctivitis worldwide. Human adenovirus (hAdV) serotypes 3,4,7,8,19 and 37 contributes to 89% of all adenoviral conjunctivitis. Accurate and rapid diagnosis of adenoviral infections at serotype level could prevent misdiagnosis, spread of disease, unnecessary antibiotic use and increased treatment costs.
Methodology: Sixty-two suspected viral conjunctivitis cases were recruited from November2013-January2015. Swabs collected from inferior palpebral conjunctiva and processed for viral culture (Hep2 cell line), immunofluorescence assay (IFA) and polymerase chain reaction (PCR) (targeting hexon gene). Serotype 3,4,7,8,19 and 37 identification was carried out with an optimized multiplex-PCR (based on hypervariable region of hexon gene) and confirmed by sequence analysis. Bayesian Latent Class Model (LCM) analysis was used to compare sensitivity and specificity of three tests.
Results: Adenovirus was detected in 54.8% (34/62) of cases by combination of all three methods. Culture was positive in 23/34 cases (67.6%). PCR and IFA detected adenovirus in 24 (70.5%) and 21 (61.7%) cases respectively. LCM analysis revealed, sensitivity and specificity of PCR, Culture and IFA was 77.8% and 92.4%; 72.2% and 90.8%; 67.6% and 92.9% respectively. Serotyping by multiplex-PCR showed, two cases each were hAdV3 and hAdV4, 18 hAdV8 and two remained unidentified. Results of Multiplex-PCR and sequence analysis showed 100% concordance
Conclusion: LCM analysis revealed, PCR is the most appropriate method for identification. Multiplex-PCR is a simple and rapid method (serotypes identification within two days); owing its short turnaround time and accuracy, it can be used as a diagnostic tool for surveillance of adenoviral keratoconjunctivitis.

← A Scrubber’s Rage
Leaning Left
There has been some wailing and gnashing of teeth by our leaders on the current state of education. Not the usual stuff: terrible standards, grade inflation etc.
No this time it’s content.
Esther McVey and Gavin Williamson are bewailing the apparent left wing bias in education. Esther McVey stated recently:
“I am now hearing that people aren’t teaching you what they need to – they’re overly indoctrinating you. It’s gone political, people are saying it has gone to the left, they’re forcing ideas on you.” The Independent
She says these attitudes are putting off “white working class pupils” who find that Miss or Sir’s beliefs are at odds with their family’s beliefs. Conservative MP for Tatton, David Lidington, suggests that “white working class lads” are turned off, because these beliefs are at odds with family views on Brexit – quite what Brexit has to do with it I’m not sure, it’s perfectly possible to be left wing and pro-Brexit.
Gavin Williamson talks about so-called “no platforming” I’m not quite sure what that means either, unless it means the teacher is not supposed to ask students to treat each other with mutual respect, that they are not supposed to stop them name-calling based on race, religion or orientation.
But Esther McVey is insistent that pupils are being “indoctrinated” and that “it has gone to the left”
Has it though? Has it really? Or was it always there?
Let me introduce you to Ignorance and Want – spoiler alert – left wing warning.
“This boy is Ignorance. This girl is Want. Beware them both,”
Do you know which book Ignorance and Want are characters in? That’s good teaching by the way, try to open by questioning rather than telling, not too pedagogic. That being said you probably do know – you were probably taught it at school, you will be taught it at school now, if you do GCSE English Literature, by most exam boards at least, and you will celebrate it every Christmas.
Ignorance and Want are the less famous children in Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol
“Have they no refuge or resource?” cried Scrooge. “Are there no prisons?” said the Spirit, turning on him for the last time with his own words. “Are there no workhouses?”
Ooh snap Scrooge! The Spirit quoted your own Tweet, damn! Mic drop!
Ignorance and Want Public Domain
My point is this that Michael Gove, aided by Dominic “eye test” Cummings, has revamped the exam system. He took A Levels back to a two year course, minimised AS Levels and revamped the syllabus to be more “traditional” but “ay there’s the rub”- the tradition of English literature is, at the very least, social comment, if not socialist.
Dickens’ London, as explored in Oliver, Bleak House, Little Dorrit, or Great Expectations (which is on the syllabus) and of course A Christmas Carol, explore the poverty, injustice and the conditions of London at the time. Dickens’ exposed those conditions then, precisely to inform a society that wanted to ignore the treatment of its children, some of whom genuinely did not know and were appalled by that treatment. Dickens, like David Copperfield worked in a bottle factory, aged twelve while his father was in debtor’s prison, darn it! There I go again being left wing!
Or there’s this:
“With her two brothers this fair lady dwelt, Enriched from ancestral merchandise, And for them many a weary hand did swelt In torched mines and noisy factories, And many once proud-quiver’d loins did melt”
and a bit later
“For them the Ceylon diver held his breath, And went all naked to the hungry shark; For them his ears gush’d blood; for them in death The seal on the cold ice with piteous bark Lay full of darts;”
“Why in glory’s name were they so proud?”
That’s from Isabella and the Pot of Basil, by that bastion of English poetry John Keats.
Isabella and the Pot of Basil, William Holman Hunt, Public Domain
The whole story is about a woman who marries someone below her social class, for love, thus threatening the inheritance of her two brothers, who murder her husband. I’ll leave you to discover the relevance of the pot of basil. That poem is on the A Level syllabus, hard to teach without slipping into social justice, class system, feminist issues. Then there is Thomas Hardy who was no fan of war Drummer Hodge is on the A Level syllabus as for modern poetry Maya Angelou, Benjamin Zephaniah, Carol Ann Duffy – all and many have social comments to make.
Death of a Drummer Boy Charles Moreau-Vaulthier Public Domain
There’s modern novels such as Never Let Me Go, Kazuo Ishiguro’s vision of a totalitarian capitalist dystopia; Animal Farm, Orwell more totalitarian dystopia; To Kill a Mocking Bird, Harper Lee, racial and social injustice and to be honest Heathcliff (Wuthering Heights, Emily Bronte) is not a great advertisement for capitalism, nor Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte) for a compassionate society. Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen) explores the transactional nature of marriage pre feminism, and back to Dickens the prison hulks of Great Expectations, haunt modern day discussions regarding where to house refugees… and don’t get me started on Film Studies… oh go on then.
Attack the Block (dir Joe Cornish) – poverty in Peckham exposed by aliens. Tsotsi (dir. Gavin Hood) (Oscar Best Foreign Film 2005) poverty in South Africa; Winters Bone, (dir. Debra Granik) Oscar nominated, an early Jennifer Lawrence, poverty in America; Slumdog Millionaire, (dir. Danny Boyle) Oscar Best Film – poverty in India; City of God (dir. Fernando Meirelles, Kátia Lund) – poverty in Rio; Captain Fantastic (dir. Matt Ross) – not poverty actually, but an alternative way of living; Little Miss Sunshine (dir. Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris) an attack on the American Dream. Even when you teach Rear Window or Vertigo (dir. Alfred Hitchcock), contemporary culture and society are explained and compared. You don’t have to know any of those films to know that they deal with life, with issues, yes Toy Story (dir. John Lasseter) is there and it is a little light on social comment but it is still a discussion of justice, mutual respect and cruelty.
These are all texts approved by the OfQual in the government revamp.
It is not necessary to know the texts I am referring to, to know that to teach them needs context – context is all – as Margaret Atwood says in The Handmaid’s Tale (on the A Level syllabus). Literature, the arts, and cultural studies require exposition of our world and teachers do that with an open mind, precisely to open minds. You cannot hide the poverty in Dickens or the rage in Keats or Hardy. You cannot hide the fact that Percy Shelley was sent down from Oxford for distributing an atheist pamphlet, Mary Shelley was the daughter of a feminist or the fact that Byron joined a revolution and died in its service (well okay not in the fight). Even Tennyson recounts England’s most heroic failure in The Charge of the Light Brigade, and Kipling may honour the Empire, but we still have to talk about the Empire.
Finally I’m still not terribly clear why David Lidington thinks all this is connected with Brexit, Brexit was and is a cross party issue, just because a piece of literature teaches compassion or explores issues of injustice does not mean we cannot have Brexit. The link between Brexit and a lack of compassion is in the ear of the beholder, it comes under of the heading “if the cap fits” it is not in the text or the teacher.
Teachers teach what’s on the page.

Three Filipinas Face Deportation for ‘Wild Partying’ in Kuwait
Three Filipinas are to be deported from Kuwait after they have been caught to be part of a group of revellers inside an apartment which have been raided by Kuwaiti authorities, as shared in a report by the Arab Times.
ALSO READ: An Insight into Nightlife in Kuwait
The arrest of the involved Filipinas as well as several cross dressers came after the Operations Room of the Ministry of Interior received a complaint from a tenant of the building who was being inconvenienced by the “wild partying” of the group in their apartment.

Wild-partying Pinays to be Deported from Kuwait
When the Salwa police arrived on the scene, they found six Kuwaitis, three Filipinas, and several cross dressers involved. And while the Filipinas are now faced with deportation as sanctioned by Kuwaiti law, the involved Kuwaitis have been released after they signed a pledge of good conduct and promised not to get involved in such activities in the future.
And while full details of the story have not been revealed as of press time, partying in Kuwait is not exactly illegal but there may have been other factors considered by the police to impose deportation on the Filipinas involved.

Being in a Muslim country where certain laws and customs are observed, it’s important for foreign nationals to always be in their best behaviour. Furthermore, getting in trouble with the law in Kuwait or in any country for that matter does not put an expat in a good position no matter how you look at it.
Furthermore, the involved Filipinas, especially in the company of their Kuwaiti friends should have known better not to cause a ruckus especially in a residential establishment where other people are enjoying their personal space, safety, as well as privacy.
Let this be an important reminder for all expatriates and Filipinos in general to be mindful of their behaviours – always exercising courtesy and respect to everyone whatever the circumstances they’re in.

Charles Harder Files Court Petition to Collect Almost $180,000 in Unpaid Legal Fees from Harvey Weinstein
Alberto LuperonNov 27th, 2020, 10:57 am
Attorney Charles Harder says former client and convicted rapist Harvey Weinstein owes him unpaid legal fees. He filed a petition with a Los Angeles County Superior Court on Wednesday, asking for a judge to confirm an arbitration award of $179,743.67, according to The Hollywood Reporter. The arbitration was awarded back on October 13.
Harder had been representing Weinstein in the lead up to a monumental 2017 story from The New York Times, which revealed that movie mogul Weinstein reached eight settlements with women who alleged misconduct. The attorney, best known for a lawsuit that resulted in the bankruptcy of Gawker and for his representation of President Donald Trump, followed up with a legal threat to the Times.
“The New York Times published today a story that is saturated with false and defamatory statements about Harvey Weinstein,” Harder told Law&Crime at the time. “It relies on mostly hearsay accounts and a faulty report, apparently stolen from an employee personnel file, which has been debunked by 9 different eyewitnesses. We sent the Times the facts and evidence, but they ignored it and rushed to publish. We are preparing the lawsuit now. All proceeds will be donated to women’s organizations.”
That lawsuit never happened (a Law&Crime analysis at the time suggested the hypothetical complaint would have been a losing effort). Harder left Weinstein mere days after the bombshell Times report.
A spokesperson for Weinstein did not immediately respond to a Law&Crime request for comment. The convicted rapist’s money has reportedly been tied up in legal problems, including a somewhat recent divorce.
A lot has changed since the month of October 2017. Dozens of women stepped forward, saying the movie mogul used his influence to engage in sexual misconduct up to and including rape. Weinstein was convicted and sentenced to 23 years in New York for sexual assault of former production assistant Mimi Haleyi, and the rape of former actress Jessica Mann. His defense maintained these were consensual encounters. Weinstein faces similar, pending charges out in Los Angeles.
Rachel Stockman contributed to this report.

Space systems company Maxar sees shares crater on earnings miss
Wide losses so unexpected, almost half the analysts were holding an outperform rating on it

Shares of space systems conglomerate Maxar Technologies Ltd. fell back to Earth Wednesday, losing nearly 45 per cent of their value after the company reported an earnings and guidance that disappointed investors.
Analysts had been predicting that Maxar — the name adopted by B.C.-based MacDonald, Dettwiler and Associates after its takeover of U.S.-based DigitalGlobe in 2017 — would post a profit this quarter, but the company instead reported a $432 million net loss, $383.6 million of which was attributed to impairment losses and inventory obsolescence. Without the impairment — usually a one-time item — Maxar still lost more than $49 million.
Space systems company Maxar sees shares crater on earnings miss Back to video
While its geostationary satellite manufacturing business has been lauded as an industry leader, Maxar’s orders have fallen every year for the past three years. GEO comsat orders declined to eight in 2017 from 15 in 2016. At one point, the company was averaging 20 or more per year.

“The space systems, GEO Comsat business has been a significant drag,” acknowledged Biggs Porter, Maxar’s chief financial officer, in a conference call.
BMO Capital Markets analyst Thanos Moschopoulos said in a note that the GEO business is struggling because of multiple factors from supplier performance issues and lower overhead absorption. In a pinch for cash, Biggs said Maxar can bring in additional funds by selling its struggling satellite business.
Maxar CEO Howard Lance also put much of the blame for the company’s poor showing on the GEO market’s decline. The rest of the company, particularly its imagery section, continues to see “solid revenue growth,” Lance said.
Maxar 'appeared to be overcapitalizing costs by inflating intangible asset purchases'
short seller Spruce Point Management
Maxar’s imagery section, which Lance touted for transitioning a contract to the National Reconnaissance Office, reported $209.2 million in revenue — a 1,673 per cent gain from the $11.8 million it made in the third quarter of 2017. Without accounting for this section of the company, Maxar is actually growing three to four per cent for 2018, Moschopoulos wrote.
The wide losses, however, were so unexpected that going into the earnings report, five out of 11 analysts covering the company for major Canadian banks and investment firms held an outperform rating. An additional four held buy ratings.
Not everyone was taken aback by Maxar’s earnings miss. In August, New York based short-selling research firm Spruce Point Management predicted trouble ahead.
In a report, Spruce Point said it was concerned that Maxar “appeared to be overcapitalizing costs by inflating intangible asset purchases.” Spruce Point predicted Maxar would face significant headwinds in 2018’s fourth quarter and estimated that shares would fall to an intermediate range of $20 to $25. Maxar’s share prices closed at $19.68 on Wednesday.
A Maxar spokesperson said the company would not be available to comment on Spruce Point’s report before deadline.
Maxar’s outlook was also less than reassuring for investors: it expects a 6.5 per cent decline in revenue for the year.

Five years after the death of her beloved husband Garrett (Ed Harris), Nikki (Annette Bening) meets Tom, a man who seems to be Garrett s exact duplicate. Not only does Tom possess the same physical characteristics, but he also shares Garrett's kindness, humor, and passion for art. And yet he is a stranger. As romance blossoms between Nikki and Tom, she finds she can't bring herself to tell him the truth about what drew her to him. But as their relationship progresses, it becomes not a question of if the truth will come out, but when.

Goal is to Get Students Back into the Classroom
Roy Koenig/Townsquare Media
Owatonna schools superintendent Jeff Elstad foresees a time this academic year that all students can be back in the classroom. He is also hopeful for some form of prom and a more in-person graduation in 2021, compared to the parking lot event of 2020. Elstad spoke during his monthly "Coffee and Conversation" session Friday morning.
His hope is that by fourth quarter conditions will permit for fulltime attendance. Part of that equation is vaccination clinics for educators which he said a "best guess" might be early February. Such vaccinations would be voluntary.
Owatonna public schools are currently in a distance learning model with the plan of returning to the previous models on January 11. Students in E-5 would shift back to in-person while 6-12 would return to hybrid. All students have the option of being in distance learning at their family's discretion.
Staff shortages in addition to positive COVID case counts factored into the move to distance learning. Elstad said the district was down about 50 staff at one time due to positive tests or the need to isolate due to exposure. Owatonna's pool of substitutes is considerably more limited this year. Elstad said normal years there is a list of 45 subs. This year it's 11. He said many substitutes are former teachers that may fall into the high-risk category of the pandemic.
A parent who joined the "Coffee and Conversation" said she felt the distance learning was going very well. She said it was working better for her children than last spring and better than some of her friends are experiencing in other districts.
In the December newsletter from the school district, Elstad wrote, "I have been able to sit in on some of the live teaching sessions this past week and have so enjoyed seeing the faces of our students. Even though we would prefer to be in person, our distance learning platform has vastly improved since last spring. I would like to recognize all of the hard work and time that our educators have put into this improvement."
Elstad expressed his desire to get students in grades 6-8 back into everyday class as soon as possible. He said that age group tends to struggle with the self-discipline needed for distance learning, though he added many students are also doing quite well with it.
In their own monitoring Elstad says coronavirus spread is not happening at school, "School is one or safest settings." He indicated many of the positive tests for students came from outside sources or family contacts. He reported the most recent case count at 157 per 10,000 residents which was a decline from the previous week.
Elstad is part of a statewide "Return to School" committee through the Department of Education. The next "Coffee and Conversation" is scheduled for Friday, January 8 at 8:30 am. Further details on requesting a link to the event will come out later.

Tense Political Culture Reveals Black Literature’s Role In White America
WDET’s Book Club is back for a third year, and this summer’s selection is Ralph Ellison’s “Invisible Man,” a formative work of the 20th century and winner of the U.S. National Book Award for Fiction in 1953.
“Blackness exists because it’s a culture, but what does not exist are the mechanisms by which these things get codified and communicated outside our culture.” — Valerie Sweeney Prince, assistant professor
Detroit Today’s Stephen Henderson and readers are discussing the novel weekly on-air and online in the WDET Book Club Facebook community. The novel’s examination of power, systemic racism and inequality has never felt more urgent or pertinent than it does today.
Listen: Wayne State University Assistant Professor of African American Studies Valerie Prince on the role of Black literature
In this installment, Wayne State University assistant professor of African American Studies Valerie Sweeney Prince, author of “Burnin’ Down the House: Home in African American Literature,” discusses the role of African American literature from Ellison’s time to the present, and questions whether Black literature exists in a pure form considering the white lens of the publishing industry.

Discussion Points
On the recent killings in Kenosha, Wis., Prince says the white lens impacts so many aspects of Black life, not just in literature. “When someone is tweeting ‘law and order,’ that is very clearly a frame of reference that allows a 17-year-old white kid with an assault weapon to not be seen as a murderer,” she says.
When it comes to Black literature, Prince says the question is about who ultimately gets to determine what audiences read and internalize about Black life in America. “Blackness exists because it’s a culture. We have music, we have food, we have dance, we have all these things, a way of speaking, a way of just being and seeing and living in the world. But what does not exist are the mechanisms by which these things get codified and communicated outside our culture.”
