Pros – The pay is usually pretty good. Depending on which position you are in of course.
The benefits are pretty amazing, you receive 3-4 weeks of paid time off in the first year once you become a permanent employee.
You work with brilliant people on a regular basis.
The 401k plan is stellar. You become fully vested in 1 year. Thats right, one year.
Cons – The Old Boys Club mentality is quite prevalent in the company. If you didn't join the company several years ago then your options are some what limited in terms of how you can climb up the career ladder. Those who are in the club seem to have a free pass.
The company is a follower and not a leader. Meaning that we wait for something to become popular and then we adapt to it (IE blogging,hosting,etc) instead of being in the for front of the industry and developing these products initially.
Our marketing is beyond help. Our advertisements; while when they first came out were above and beyond any other companies at the time. Now they are all the same style of commercials, except there are a few new faces in them.
Advice to Senior Management – Cut out the old boys club. Make the culture consistent throughout the entire company. Develop new products and services rather then try to reinvent the wheel.
Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend

The Tribune-Democrat
Pitt-Johnstown will dedicate a memorial park today on the Richland Township campus that is moving and appropriate in both its physical attributes and its enduring message.
UPJ President Jem Spectar calls The Heroes Memorial "a teaching monument."
He hopes it helps inspire UPJ students and other visitors to live lives worthy of the sacrifice the site reflects.
The Heroes Memorial is located between the J. Irving Whalley Memorial Chapel and Blackington Hall. It will be dedicated at 11 a.m.
The site's centerpiece is a 3,500-pound steel I-beam from the World Trade Center.
Visitors will enter between twin panels that offer a message written by Spectar to honor those who have sacrificed their lives for their country, and also to recognize the sacrifice made by their families.
Surrounding the trade center beam are additional panels that have been engraved with the names of U.S. military personnel who have died in the Afghanistan and Iraq conflicts, and the victims of the Sept.11, 2001, terrorist attacks in New York City, near Washington and at Shanksville.
Spectar said he hopes those who visit the place experience "a sober awakening to the obligations of citizenship, a clarion call to us all to be worthy of their sacrifice."
That would include UPJ students, who will realize that many of those who have died in service are their own age.
We applaud Spectar and the university for developing this tribute, which is unlike any other on a college campus.
And we hope his vision is realized as The Heroes Memorial begins to change the lives of those who walk its stone paths and read the names of those honored there.

The six major publishers are not selling e-books to libraries, including and that's giving residents throughout Pierce County a raw deal. The public is demanding e-books from libraries and publishers are locking them out.
"I am confused and frustrated by publishers' unwillingness to allow us to participate in the e-book marketplace," said Neel Parikh, executive director, for the Library System. "Publishers have given no clear reason about their blackballing libraries and the public, and taking on the role of a modern-day Scrooge."
Retailers are projecting Kindles and other e-readers again will be top sellers this holiday season. Last year, after the holidays, people rushed to the libraries to learn how to use their new technology gifts and start downloading e-books for free from Pierce County Library.
Publishers have drawn an arbitrary line and are turning their back on the 122,000 libraries and approximately 169 million public library customers. They are either not selling e-books to libraries or selling them at costs 100-300 percent higher than list prices or with heavy usage restrictions.
Currently, only two of the six major publishers, HarperCollins Publishers and Random House, Inc., are selling to libraries at exorbitant prices or strict restrictions. For example, "Fifty Shades of Grey" costs Pierce County Library $47.85 and sells on Amazon.com for $9.99.
Pierce County Library offers e-books, however because of the publishers' blockade to libraries it is not allowed to offer what is available on the open market. As a result, the Library System is reducing its e-book budget by nearly 50 percent in 2013. The Library System sparingly purchases the over-priced e-books in its commitment to be good stewards of taxpayers' dollars.
"It's quite rare that in a free market a customer—in this case libraries and the American public—is refused the ability to buy a company's product and is told its money is no good." said Parikh.
Every day people ask staff why the Library doesn't offer very many best-seller e-books and why it provides so few e-books. In response the Library is now asking people to take this question directly to the publishers.
It is asking residents to send an email or postcard to publishers and urge them to sell to libraries. People can get a sample email from the Library's website at www.piercecountylibrary.org or postcards at any Pierce County Library.

By LIBBY CLUETT
For the second time in three years Travis Elementary School will send a robotics team to Texas Computer Education Association state competition, helping establish a pattern of success.
The robotics program is just three years old, explained team coach Sandy Cox, who also teaches fifth-grade math and science.
Two Travis teams of fifth- and sixth-grade students competed at regional robotics competition on Jan. 12 in the "Intermediate Inventions" category.
One team, called "Orders Up," created a "drink server bot, to help waitresses serve drinks when they are really busy," Cox said. She added that the bot had different outfits, from a tuxedo to a game jersey.
The second team, called "The Arsonist," designed a "mobile fire alarm bot" that could detect heat sources and send an alert to firemen, providing a safer environment for emergency services personnel.
"It locates fires when they are small still, in an office building or warehouse," Cox explained.
Since the robot would be on the floor, and not up high like smoke detectors, she said it could more easily detect the beginnings of a fire.
The teams not only had to design, build, program and document all the processes for their bot, but also make a formal marketing presentation to judges justifying the viability of their product. Their competition were other Region 11 teams comprised of students in grades five through eight.
Cox said both Travis teams had pretty good projects and they used PowerPoint for their presentations. She noted that no other schools had PowerPoint presentations; instead, she said other schools used folding poster board.
"Our team had PowerPoint with laptops, photos and clip art," she said.
The Arsonist team placed second overall in "Intermediate Inventions" for Region 11 and now qualifies to participate in April at the TCEA state competition in Deer Park, just east of Houston.

The most gifted and skilled students from each institution are invited to Music Festival to expand their melodic horizons. "The festival is a unique opportunity for the talented music students to all come together and create music," Dr. Lynn explained. "I'm excited about working with these talented students and having them experience great music."

Tags: Publications Union welcomes guest pianist for Jan. 15 chamber recital; master classes On Tuesday, Jan. 15 at 7 p.m. Dr. Frank Restesan of the Union College music department will perform a violin and piano concert along with internationally renowned pianist Dr. Kaestner Robertson. The concert will take place in Engel Hall Recital Room (corner of South 48th St. and Bancroft Ave.). The music featured will be from the late Romantic period into the early 20th century (1850-1935). "This concert is essentially a mosaic of the major musical culture during this time in Germany, France and England," Restesan said. "The three pieces that we will perform are probably the most important works written for violin and piano chamber music for the time period." This concert is the first of a winter-spring tour for Restesan and Robertson. Other stops include Atlantic Union College in South Lancaster, Mass., and Andrews University in Berrien Springs, Mich. Restesan, who joined the faculty of Union College in fall 2007, is the director of the Chamber Orchestra, the Golden Cords String Quartet and coordinator of music history. Restesan holds a doctorate in performance and orchestral conducting from the University of Arizona. He has appeared on stages around the world including Romania, Spain, Puerto Rico and Carnegie Hall in New York City. Robertson has gained an international reputation as a pianist and organist. Currently he is a professor of music at Atlantic Union College. Robertson has given solo and collaborative recitals around the world including performances in Barbados, Bermuda, France, England and his native Jamaica. During his Lincoln visit, Robertson will be offering piano master classes that will be open to Union College students as well as the community. The classes will be on Jan. 16 and 17 from 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. For more information about the concert or master classes, please contact the Division of Fine Arts at 486-2553.

Groves also performed at Union College in 2002. The concert will be held at College View Church, located at the corner of 48th and Prescott, at 7:30 p.m. Doors open at 6:30 p.m. "Hearing Sara Groves changed my entire outlook on Christian music," Scott Cushman, an alumnus who attended her 2002 concert at the college. "Relaxed, thoughtful and soulful, I went home feeling closer to God and telling everyone I know to listen to Grove's album." In 1998 Groves transitioned from teaching at a high school in Minnesota to full-time musician. That year also Groves released her first album, Past the Wishing. Since then, she's put out five more albums, been nominated for three Dove Awards, and CCM Magazine named her Christian music artist of the year and gave its "Album of the Year" award to her 2005 release Add to the Beauty. Groves puts a lot of herself into her music. She brings sincere, candidly truthful lyrics to her low-key, acoustic music. In addition to recording, Groves gives over 120 performances each year. Seating is free but limited. College View Church will seat 1,700 on a first come, first serve basis.

Union College senior Josh Morris named each of the 40 pieces on display after rock songs. During the debut, some of the songs played in the background adding to the ambiance. Although unintentional, each gallery section of Morris' senior exhibit reflects a small part of his personality. The fine art pieces display his cheekiness and humor; the photography gives a peek into his calm, easy going manner; and the photo-shopped work shows his edgy and outgoing side.

Tags: ArtsEventsFacultyNewsStaff Local artist celebrates choices in McClelland Art Gallery display LINCOLNâ€â€ÂStarting on Nov. 5, abstract artist Linda Benton's "Metamorphoses" exhibit will be housed in the McClelland Art Gallery through Nov. 25. A Lincoln resident, Benton loves working with mixed media elements. She believes art can be a metaphor for life and the twists and turns that ensue. In her artwork, she takes an idea and makes the decision to redo it, or go in different direction. She described her paintings, as well as life, as a path that comes to many crossroads. You must then make a decision which fork you will take. "Making art is not a straight path; it's like a maze," Benton said. "This phenomenon happens in a lot of different mediums, such as chefs trying to find a new seasoning to remake an old recipe. Making art is a challenge. Relationships are a challenge. I like to celebrate the fact that life is filled with challenges and choices." The McClelland Art Gallery is in the Ortner Center on the Union College campus, 3800 S. 48th Street. Enter the campus from Prescott Avenue. The art gallery is free to the public and open daily from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. For more information, contact the Ortner Center at 402.486.2545.

The performance will follow an extended weekend of clinics designed especially for the visiting athletes. Jesse Leone, an experienced clinician, and Francis Allen, University of Lincoln's men's head gymnastics coach, will provide the students with learning sessions to enhance their skills. The show beings at 7:30 p.m. in the college Gymnasium (also called the "Thunderdome"), and each visiting team will have a five-minute routine culminating with a merged group presentation. "I think the performance is a great opportunity to see the students involved in activities that not only showcase their athletic talents, but also life skills such as leadership and responsibility," said Seth Perkins, Union college gymnastics coach and event director. The Gymnasium is located on the east side of the Union College campus, 3800 S. 48th Street. Enter the campus from Prescott Avenue.

A senior religion major from Ukraine, Horokhovskyy is the first student since 1983 to help Union College cross the 1000 enrollment mark. By the end of the close of registration on Tuesday, Aug. 28, Union College's official enrollment reached 1,015 students with a full time equivalence of 909.5. To celebrate the 1,000-student milestone, Union College is invited all students and employees to a free lunch served on the campus Tribute Terrace. In addition to the meal and ice cream from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 28, festivities included a short program. Remarks and recognition of the Enrollment Services team by Union College President David Smith were followed by a college-wide sing-a-long of the well-loved school song, "Slinga de Ink." State Senator Tony Fulton joined in the festivities and added his congratulations and support. "Students come to Union College for many reasonsâ€â€Âcaring campus family, a Christian atmosphere and for unique programs like international rescue and relief and physician assistant studies," President Smith said. "One thousand is just a number, but the fact that more and more students value Union's campus culture makes me proud of the students, faculty and staff who have invested themselves in Union." Union's campus has become a home-away-from home for a diverse group of students from 49 states and 26 countries. Four out of five Union students are from outside of Nebraska, that's a higher percentage of non-resident students than any other college in the state. "When we recruit new students for the college, we don't just sell Union, we sell Nebraska," said Rob Weaver, vice president for Enrollment and Student Financial Services. "On the coasts we get asked 'Where's Nebraska?' and we take every opportunity to tell them about 'The Good Life.'" Of Union's out-of-state students, more than one fifth choose to stay in Nebraska after graduation, contributing to the state's brain gain. Union College put in place more stringent admissions standards last year and yet has continued its growth. All regularly admitted students must now have a cumulative grade point average of 2.5 and an ACT score of 18. While these are not as high as elite universities, they are higher than most of the schools pulling from the same demographic of high school graduates as Union College. "Continuing to attract new students to our campus while simultaneously raising the admissions bar is really exciting," Weaver said. "While we're delighted to reach this milestone, at Union we've always known that bigger isn't necessarily better," said Smith. "We are grateful for each student here and the opportunities each of them represent for Union and for Christ." View a PDF file (3 megabytes) of the article in the Lincoln Journal-Star here.

The American Heart Association is working to combat this growing crisis with a 10-year strategic goal of reducing coronary heart disease, stroke and risk by 25 percent in 2010. The annual Heart Walk is one small way to help raise funds and show solidarity with the fight against heart disease. For the eighth year, Union College, in participation with the American Heart Association, is hosting Lincoln's Alternate Day American Heart Walk. Walkers may begin the one-mile walk around campus anytime between 11:30 a.m. and 1 p.m., rain or shine. Following the 15-20 minute walk, light snacks will be provided. Special guest Lauren Knoff, a six-year-old kindergarten girl born with a heart birth defect, will be a participant at this year's Heart Walk. Each year, 36,000 babies are born with heart defects, the third most fatal form of birth defect. Knoff has survived to be an ambassador for the American Heart Association. She and her schoolmates from Helen Hyatt elementary will lead the walk. The Heart Walk is just one of several events focusing on wellness for National Employee Health and Fitness day. In the afternoon, Union College employees will team up for games and activities followed by the year-end employee party. Employee health is a priority for the campus; Union College has earned the designation as a Silver Well Workplace Award through WorkWell, the local branch for Wellness Councils of America (WELCOA).

Phoenix Correspondent
Bacone men's basketball coach Alan Foster was looking for a wow win for his team as it comes down the final stretch of the season.
And the Warriors did just that as they avenged a 23-point defeat a month ago, knocking off the Our Lady of The Lake University Saints 104-97 in Red River Athletic Conference action Monday night at the Palmer Center.
"We played with so much more composure tonight than we did down there," said Foster. "We knew we had to limit our turnovers and we had 18 tonight. I think we had over 30 when we played them at their place."
The Saints ran out to a 13-2 lead in the first 3:30 of the game as they hit five shots in a row. But the Warriors steadily worked their way back and the Saints went just 8 of 32 (25 percent) the rest of the half.
Bacone took its first lead of the game, 28-27, with eight minutes to play in the half and then went on an 11-6 run to open up a 39-33 lead with just over a minute to play. The Warriors went into the locker room with a 43-40 advantage.
The Warriors (5-22, 3-17) used the play of 6-foot-6 junior Christian Smith, who scored 20 of his game high 30 points in the second half to open a lead that hung around 10 for most of the half.
The Saints (19-10, 15-6) used a half-court trap to try and force Bacone turnovers and the Warriors repeatedly broke the press resulting in easy baskets or free-throw opportunities for Smith and company.
"We came in here last night (Sunday) and worked for about an hour and made some adjustments to our press break," said Foster. "We felt if we would not make turnovers and break the press, we would have numbers at the other end."
Besides breaking the press, the Warriors also won the game from the charity line as the Saints were whistled for 33 fouls in the game. And it was down the stretch at the free-throw line that Derrick Thomas, who had 22 points for the Warriors, shined. With the Bacone lead down to 92-88, Thomas hit a key basket and six free throws in the final 1:06 of the game to put it away for the Warriors.
Besides Smith and Thomas, Alex Stanley scored 17 for the Warriors and Kwame Bates tallied 14. Lo'Ron Smith was the leading scorer for the Saints with 22.
"It's a huge win for us," said Foster. "They're a quality team. They've been ranked in the top 25 at one point and you tell the kids to keep working and believing and they'll get that "wow" victory."
OLLU 82, Bacone 64
The Lady Warriors, who lost by 24 points last month to the Saints, played a great first half trailing 41-36 at intermission. It was enough to impress OLLU women's coach Chris Minner.
"Bacone outplayed us in the first half," he said. "They were hustling, going after loose balls and they came out played harder than we did."
But turnovers proved to be the undoing of the Lady Warriors. Despite having 16 in the first half, they stayed close by going 12-of-14 from the free-throw line, but that didn't work for them in the second half.
"At half time we talked about not turning the ball over so much," said Bacone coach Robbie Shay. "But then we turned around and had 19 turnovers in the second half."
Bacone was still down just 10 points at 54-44 early in the second half but the Saints blistering up-tempo style and half-court trap took its toll and they went on a 14-0 run in just 3:30 to put the game away.
The Lady Warriors (8-17, 5-14) had just one player, Emily Lovell, in double figures with 10 points while Nikkia Davis led the way for the Saints (26-2, 19-2) with 19 points.
Despite the loss, Bacone still has a chance to make the conference tournament if it can win its final two games, both at home, Saturday against Texas College and next Monday as it hosts Jarvis Christian.

Periodically I will answer the question that I'm surprised I wasn't asked, and feel like weighing in on anyway. Some would call this, in old-fashioned journalism parlance, a "column."
Well, yeah.
Im a little surprised, and almost disappointed, that this weeks mailbag call didnt draw the following query: Why isnt Georgia spending money like Alabama to hire support staff and recruiting staff? It's bound to come up, what with Fridays news that Alabama is hiring Kevin Steele in an off-field support role. Steele joins anyone who has ever coached before but couldn't find an on-field role this year as part of Alabama's support staff.
Theres a perception out there among some fans that UGA, and specifically its outgoing president Michael Adams, havent supported Mark Richt enough financially. Adams spoke to that issue, without being asked, after the athletic board meeting on Tuesday night:
"I think there's confidence in the building blocks that are in place here. Look at the facilities, look at the practice fields, look at the stadium additions, look at what we've done to be competitive with assistant coaches. (We) may not be the top in every little category, but across the board I'm not sure anybody provides any more total support than we do. ... One of the things I'm proud about is you build great programs brick-by-brick and stone-by-stone over a period of time."
But Im pretty sure that wont put the issue to rest for many fans.
Heres what I can tell you: Yes, a full-length indoor practice facility would be nice. And yes, as long as the NCAA isnt going to regulate off-field staff, perhaps it would behoove UGA and Richt to shell out for more.
But I dont get the sense Richt has been demanding it, and been denied it.
Perhaps, once Adams has departed the scene, people around the program will open up a bit more on and off the record. But I can tell you that Im not aware of Richt having made a specific request for something and been turned down for financial reasons, at least since Greg McGarity arrived.
Look, Ive covered an athletics department that had a reputation for doing it on the cheap: South Carolina, under its former athletics director, was often criticized for things like refusing to send a pep band to the NIT championship in New York, or making the soccer team bus to a game rather than fly. Ive never really heard of that type of thing at Georgia under McGarity. And McGarity has made pretty clear in my conversations with him, without coming out and saying it, that finances arent a major issue here. They have a reserve fund of nearly $70 million, after all.
A lot of what I think is actually at work here is a philosophical difference. Nick Saban and Alabama do things one way, relying on squeezing out every possible advantage and every possible dollar. Richt falls more in line with Steve Spurrier, whose philosophy tends to lean towards: Oh, we can survive without that.
That doesnt mean Richt and Spurrier, and others wont adapt. There's a creeping realization that if the NCAA isn't going to regulate non-coaching staff, and that Alabama is succeeding while hiring a bunch of consultants, that it may be necessary to follow Saban's lead. There could very well be a few support staff hires at Georgia in the offseason. But it does bear noting that UGA hired Daryl Jones last year to be its on-campus recruiting coordinator, giving him a significant bump in pay over the man who previously held the job. And there have been other support staff hires. They're just behind-the-scenes types, not former coaches like Steele.
But Alabama is doing it, so as long as it's kosher with the NCAA, the rest of the SEC, including Georgia, won't be far behind.
When will we know more detail concerning the "Young Alumni" ticket package? Is it for a full season? What are the stipulations? - Ben Tucker, via Twitter
And ....
How much info have they given on the tickets for young alumni (when to apply, selection process, etc)?
- Trey Young, via Twitter
Some of the details are yet to be worked out. But the gist of is this: It is for a full season. The cost of the ticket is officially $40 per home game - thus $240 this season. Those eligible include anyone within five years of graduating from the school in any capacity - bachelor's masters, doctoral, professional, etc. As for who gets the tickets, I'm told they'll probably launch the application process during the spring - late March, early April. If they get under 2,000 requests, then presto, anybody who requested a ticket gets one. But if they get over 2,000 requests, then it will probably result in a lottery.
1. While it has been ugly, do you agree that the recent success for mens basketball should quiet the talk about Coach Foxs job status? While recruiting is still a large question, no one questions the coaching ability. The wins havent been over many impressive teams, with the SEC down as a whole, but hes managing to scrape out victories with KCP, three promising (but not-there-yet) freshman, and a cast that couldve been plucked from a pickup game at the Ramsey Student Center gym.
2. Have you and La Profesora been watching The Americans on FX? Very solid first two episodes.
- Wes Jacobs
1. Yours is a very fair summation. When things were at their worst last month, I was on record saying that I still expected Fox to return, unless the administration changed its mind on the direction of the program. The recent run only reinforces that. Of course, the team has two tough road games coming up (at Ole Miss and at Arkansas), so the disgruntled fans could have a chance to voice their concerns again. The problem in todays world is that to some fans every game becomes a referendum on the program.
But talent, as you pointed out, does remain an issue. I dont want to look too far ahead and break down next seasons lineup yet. But its fairly obvious that the team still wont have a reliable presence in the post, unless Marcus Thornton returns to health and becomes that man, or Donte Williams steps up his game a bit more. Problem is, Williams is still a bit on the skinny side to be that guy. I do think that the troika of Gaines-Mann-Morris has potential. But without a decent big man and were talking Jeremy Price, not Shaquille ONeal then it will still be difficult.
2. Ive heard a lot of good things about The Americans, but havent seen it yet. We missed the first couple episodes, but are hoping to stream them and now have it set for our DVR.
With the basketball teams recent surge do you think they will be able to finish over .500 and make the NIT tournament? I like the increased minutes for the freshmen and postseason practice could be very beneficial for them going into next season.
- Bob Sacamano
Making the NIT would still be a stretch, in my opinion. The Bulldogs just dug too big a hole in the non-conference part of the season not to mention the 1-4 start in SEC play, including that horrid home loss to Mississippi State. In order to have an NIT-type resume and dont laugh, it has become a tough bid to get the Bulldogs would probably need to reach 10 or 11 SEC wins, then win a couple games in the SEC tournament. Thats not impossible by any means, but the home loss to Alabama was a step back on that path.
I watched the Bama game, and our shot selection is awful. Played good enough D to win. Does Fox ever talk about shot selection?
- Bert Brantley, via Twitter
Very often. It was a big part of the teams winning streak, and it was a big part of the loss to Alabama. Fox can emphasize it all he wants in practice and timeouts, but the players play, and this group has issues with it outside of Caldwell-Pope, whose field goal percentage is sterling. Nemi Djurisic seems to take a couple ill-advised 3s a game, and also has some drives around the hoop that you know are doomed before he even puts the shot up. But Djurisic scores some of the time, and this team has badly needed help for Caldwell-Pope. So if youre Fox, you dont want the rest of the team afraid to shoot.
1. What is the thinking in Butts-Mehre with Kolton Houston? There's a lot of griping about not signing Tunsil, but Houston was slated to start last year if not for the failed tests. Are UGA coaches planning on being able to use him this year at one of the tackle spots?
2. Every spring, fans get excited about incoming freshman and the impact they may have in the fall, but true freshman usually have very limited roles (this past season notwithstanding). Especially in a complicated defense, should we expect to see familiar/established names over the hyped frosh like Tray Matthews, Shaq Wiggins, and others?
- Will
1. Houston remains on the team, and last I checked theyre going to keep submitting his test results and case to the NCAA. But the thinking around the program is that the NCAA is going to have to see the light, and change its mind. If Houstons testosterone levels havent reached the proper baseline by now, theres no telling when that might happen. By the way, Houston was by no means certain to start at tackle last year; he finished the spring just ahead of Watts Dantzler at right tackle, but John Theus had a pretty good shot at getting that spot all along.
2. Thats a good point. Josh Harvey-Clemons is a prime example of how hard it is for a freshman to see the field under Todd Grantham, who values experience. Thats why Id guess that Connor Norman and Corey Moore have as good a chance to start at safety as Matthews. But the expectation is Matthews is good enough to work his way into the lineup eventually the way Alec Ogletree did as a freshman safety, and Jordan Jenkins did this past year at outside linebacker.
The inside linebacker spot is also one worth watching. Reggie Carter and Ryne Rankin have a decent chance of earning the spot alongside Amarlo Herrera by virtue of enrolling early and going through spring practice.
A lot of these freshmen are going to play this season. But play against Clemson, South Carolina or even week four against LSU? In those all-important games, Grantham is more likely to lean on the guys with experience.
I want to know your opinion on a hypothetical situation that just popped into my head. What if Rodney Garner hadn't taken the job at Auburn, but Grantham had been hired by the Eagles, Saints, or some other NFL team before signing day? Do you think Richt would have promoted Garner to DC? And if so, what effect would that have had on the recruiting class (Ex: Montravious Adams, etc.)? I know Davin Bellamy has made it known that he didn't like Garner, but how else do you think our signing class might have been different?
- Jordan Floyd, Nashville, TN
Bellamy did say that about Garner, due to a botched unofficial visit that supposedly had been lined up. But if Garner had stayed, who knows what would have happened on UGAs end to try to mend the fence. Well never know.
Well also never know about your potential scenario, but I am pretty confident that Garner would not have been the defensive coordinator. After all, he wasnt promoted when Willie Martinez got the axe. And Garner probably saw the lack of a chance at advancement as reason to bolt for Auburn.
I have said, however, that in the short term it appears the loss of Garner has hurt the program. Adams would have been more likely to sign, and perhaps another recruiting battle or two would have ended differently. In the long run, well have to see how the Garner-Chris Wilson trade plays out.
How often was Todd Gurley used on kickoff returns last year? Could that role increase or is he too valuable?
- Trae Marchant, via Twitter
Gurley returned seven kickoffs last year, the second-most on the team after Malcolm Mitchell, who returned 16. (The other seven returns were by players on the second line: Merritt Hall, Richard Samuel and Kyle Karempelis.) But Gurley was indeed taken off most of his kickoff duties as the season went on; thats a bit of a surprise given his spectacular debut there. But obviously the coaches preferred not risking him on special teams, given his importance at tailback. (Not that Mitchell wasnt important at receiver. So who knows.)
The guys I was curious about not getting more of a shot at kickokff were Justin Scott-Wesley, Keith Marshall and Branden Smith. The latter isnt an option anymore, having used up his eligibility. I guess well see about the first two.
Have you heard anything mentioned about Sheldon Dawson returning punts or playing offense occasionally? He played running back in high school and he is very explosive. Go look at his high school tape and you will see he has some very impressive highlights with the ball in his hands. He seems like he has the potential to be like Brandon Boykin if we choose to use him that way. If not, who are the other candidates to return punts?
- Ryan in Roswell GA
If memory serves correctly, Dawsons name was bandied about briefly last year, but nothing came of it, because the coaches wanted him concentrating on learning the defense. What will be interesting to see this season is if Richt again puts more emphasis on punt returners who wont fumble or make stupid decisions thus giving Rhett McGowan another shot or if guys like Malcolm Mitchell, Damian Swann and even Dawson prove dependable enough that Georgia puts them out there.
That said, I shouldnt downplay McGowans abilities too much: His return average (8.3 yards per return) was actually better than Mitchells (5.2) or Swanns (7.4), and McGowan did break one for 23 yards. Mitchells longest was 22, and Swanns was 30. I know everyone automatically assumed that a fair catch was coming when McGowan was out there, a la Logan Gray, but as the season went on McGowan did show more daring.
Andy Staples had a piece on SI.com last week that said that Chris Kiffin sent 400 Facebook messages to Tunsil's girlfriend? Was that a recruiting violation? I looked up the NCAA's contact rules and from my reading it seems that the only permissible contacts are with the recruit, the recruit's family or guardian and the recruit's coach; if my reading is accurate wouldn't contacting the girlfriend be a no-no?
- Jason Woolf, Asheville, N.C.
The short answer is no, its not a violation. The long answer is that its not one because it would just be too hard to regulate contact with someone who doesnt have a formalized relationship with a recruit (parent, relative, coach, guardian, etc.) And while I have no idea whether Tunsil gave his girlfriend a promise ring, or a spiffed-out cummerbund for the junior prom, it still wouldnt qualify as a formal relationship.
That said, I always shake my head when I hear these stories of coaches writing literally hundreds of messages to recruits. What exactly are they saying? How exactly can you come up with something different to say? And the image of an adult man, being paid six figures, writing over and over to a 17-year-old girl just makes me laugh. But if it works, hey, more power to them.
1. At the end of each bowl season games, coaches will complain about the officials from other conferences. Is this just coach whining or is there really an adjustment teams need to make?
2. After reading some blog comments from UGA fans: Any truth to the rumors that the fall of Mali, problems in Libya, etc, are due to Coach Richt, Coach Bobo, and Aaron Murray not spiking the ball in the SEC championship game and the failure of every recruit in Georgia to sign with UGA?
- Rodney Pridgeon, New Market, Ala.
1. I would attribute a lot of the bowl officiating complaints to unfamiliarity. Richt, for instance, knows the tendencies of most SEC officials, and knows how to deal with them. So much of the relationship between a coach and referee, at least during a game, is whether the coach feels he got an adequate explanation. He may not agree, but the amount of visceral that can be spouted is limited if its just a simple disagreement.
2. I thought we were past the to spike or not argument? Well I guess its still out there. As far as Georgias recruiting down the stretch, theres no way to sugarcoat it: They missed on pretty much all their top remaining targets. But if I were a Bulldog fan, Id temper any anger because: a) they still signed a 32-man class, thus increasing the chances of coming up with some impact players, and b) its not like the staff failed to get Rueben Foster, Montravius Adams and Laremy Tunsil for a lack of trying. Everyone who follows the UGA flight plane or the recruiting sites knows that the coaches werent taking any days off. Well, except for hip surgery. But other than that

Players show the Russian language version of the international edition of Poland's popular board game "Kolejka," meaning queue or line at its launch by the state National Remembrance Institute in Warsaw, Poland, on Thursday, June 28, 2012. The game is intended to teach young people about the hardships and frustrations of living under communism, and is now available in English, German, Russian, Japanese and Spanish.
A popular Polish board game based on the hardships of communism is now available in international editions.
Poland's National Remembrance Institute released the Polish version of the game — called "Kolejka"— last year. The goal was to teach youth about frustrations and shortages during the decades of communism, which Poland shed in 1989.
Although referred to as "Communist Monopoly" the game doesn't let players collect rent or buy land. Instead, they often get frustrated because they can't buy anything even after waiting in long lines. "Kolejka" means line, or queue.
Game developer Karol Madaj said Thursday that he chose that theme because standing in lines was a common experience under communism. He also knew he could "transform a queue into a board game, arrange the pawns in lines and make players elbow their way to the shop door."
The game has been a hit.
"I love it. I know it's in memory of sad times but it's wonderful that we can look back on these times with a certain amount of humor," said Barbara Stachowiak-Kowalski, a British-born Warsaw resident whose mother is Irish and father is Polish.
Madaj said word of the game quickly spread abroad, so the institute is launching versions in English, German, Spanish, Japanese and Russian.
The international editions will be sold via various websites for 30 zlotys ($10).

They told me I was special for just as long as it suited them. They poked and prodded me in all the right ways, observing my nerve centers to find the combination of stimuli that would make me dance on command just so. They made me perfect—a perfect little cog in a perfect little wheel that outperformed all their other perfect little cogs and wheels, and that still wasn't good enough for them. Only when I aspired to something more did they name me. Deviant. Individual. Unclean.
But they're worse. I may use my talents in ways they find distasteful, ways they refuse to understand or acknowledge or accept. I may go beyond their ken and remain defiantly unapologetic when they can't keep up. They may see me as something to be ignored, cast out, eliminated, but I see them as something much worse. Because they can't do any of that. They're the Syndicate.
But not really, and maybe that's the problem. Despite a legendary pedigree, this new Syndicate is the picture of banality, a classic example of a kind of "me, too" development born of a combination of litigation, bankruptcy, and good old-fashioned creative stagnation. It's not a game that glamorizes and satirizes corporate overreach; instead, it's for the corporation, by the corporation, and of the corporation.
Way back in 1993, Bullfrog Productions (of "Peter Molyneux before he went off the deep end" fame) hacked together Syndicate, a squad-based tactical shooter set in a dystopian cyberpunk near-future. Syndicate '93 was a great game for a lot of reasons, but one of its most novel elements was its total lack of protagonists. The faceless corporation that your actions represented was really no different from the faceless corporations that your faceless minions infiltrated, reconnoitered, and eventually eliminated.
How fascinatingly ironic, then, that Electronic Arts, the very face of corporate hegemony in the gaming world, would end up owning Syndicate through a series of buyouts and takeovers, and further would reboot the series only after smelling blood in the water due to the recent success of Deus Ex: Human Revolution.
Syndicate is a game dreamed up by corporate edict, built under factory conditions, refined by focus groups, and ingested by a public too accustomed to soylent green to know cannibalism when it tastes it. It's a single-player shooter in the same way that a utensil drawer is a single-person buffet line. The basic tools are there, but no matter how hard you wish otherwise while you lick your fork, there's no meat there whatsoever.
It's a threadbare experience, a series of unintentionally bland, soulless setpieces stocked at painfully obvious intervals with painfully repetitive enemy encounters. It does nothing to hide its own galling modularity, hot-swapping magic keys for key codes and magic spells for technomagic feats while making no attempt to actually differentiate the differences.
But Syndicate's biggest problem, the cortex bomb that ticks so loudly in its head that it keeps the neighbors up at night, is its own baffling need to be liked. It shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the genre that, in the end, is far more fatal than its uninspired gameplay or its garish visuals.
Yes, Syndicate is an overactive puppy's brain in a robot Doberman's body. It thinks it's doing the most and being the best and earning its master's love, but all it's really doing is tearing up the carpet and mauling the mailman and generating sonic booms every time it chases a car. Syndicate blinds and blooms and overwhelms the senses in what could be an intentional attempt to hide its own inner mediocrity, but more likely is just a simplistic attempt to be cool.
But Syndicate '93, showing that it understood the genre, took pains to show that it didn't care whether you liked it or not. A central tenet of cyberpunk is the rapid-onset dehumanization of the hypertech society and the constant low-level despair that it creates. You don't wear a black trenchcoat and fill your head with microchips because you love the world, you do it because you're desperate to hide from it. Syndicate the old embraced that idea; Syndicate the new flees from it, but wants to keep the fashion cues.
That's not how it works. If the artificial lights are too bright or your powers don't work like they should or the storyline is too simplistic or you just generally feel like you'd like to go back to not being more machine than man, the cyberpunk thing to do is to just take a look out the window at the throngs of humanity who would kill to have what meager scraps you've been thrown. You don't matter. No matter how special you want everyone else to think you are, you're just as replaceable as they are. That's the point that this Syndicate doesn't get.

The death of a pedestrian on Interstate 376 in Pulaski Township Friday morning has been ruled a suicide.
State police said David William Nye, 46, of New Brighton was struck by an eastbound truck around 5:30 a.m., approximately a half-mile east of Route 208.
Police said Nye, who was staying at a location on Old Pulaski Road, walked through the woods to I-376, then stood in front of the truck.
The driver, who did not see Nye in time because it was dark, swerved and attempted to miss him, but struck him with the front bumper.
Lawrence County Coroner Russell Noga ruled the death a suicide and pronounced him dead at the scene at 6:25 a.m.
The eastbound side of the highway was closed for a few hours while the investigation was conducted.

Daytime therapist, nighttime filmmaker captures Soviet life
He's a physiotherapist by day and a filmmaker by nights, weekends and everything in between. Semyon Pinkhasov has captured facets of Soviet life that rarely get shared beyond Russia's borders, even after the fall of the Iron Curtain.
(For story, click on http://r.reuters.com/qac34m)
The self-taught, self-financed, award-winning amateur documentary filmmaker has seen his films shown worldwide at festivals and on Russian and English-language television channels. Focused on the arts and the sport of fencing (U.S. Olympic Team Coach in 1984), he tells stories about Grigory Fried, who has run a music appreciation club in Moscow for 45 years without taking a kopeck; Tikhon Khrennikov, the first and last secretary of the Union of Soviet Composers; and Boris Efimov, perhaps Stalin's favorite cartoonist.
One film about German fencing legend Helene Meyer, whose half-Jewish heritage provided Adolf Hitler with political cover to stage the 1936 Olympics, won for best screenplay at the 2009 International Festival of Sports Films in Moscow. But what drives someone with no background in film, journalism or the arts to dive into movie making? Roll the video:
