I'm deep into writing my latest book. For now, the title is "Startup Communities: Creating A Great Entrepreneurial Ecosystem In Your City." I'm open to different titles – if you've got ideas just put them in the comments.
Following is the current table of contents. It's still pretty dynamic as I'm adding stuff while I'm writing. I've also got a bunch of guest sections coming from all over the US (I've got a dozen so far) so as they come in, I'm trying to fit them in (which often generates a new, or different section). If you are a leader in your entrepreneurial community and have something you want to add, email me 500 – 1000 words.
I'm looking for feedback on this table of contents. If anything jumps out at you as wrong, unclear, in the wrong place, or missing, please leave me your thoughts in the comments.
My current goal is to have a first draft ready for circulation finished by 12/31/11. I plan to have the book published and available by 2/29/12. I'm self-publishing this one so there will be no delay in getting it out. I also plan to price it low so it has the potential for broad distribution.
Comments of any sort are welcome and encouraged! The table of contents, as of today, follows.

I've talked a lot on this blog about the great things about the Boulder entrepreneurial ecosystem. Over the past five years it's been awesome to see things really blossom. But there are always problems of some sort. And we have a few here in Boulder which – in the spirit of helping understand how entrepreneur ecosystems work over time – are worth pointing out and talking about.
The most visible problem her is that Boulder's booming businesses are running out of room. Downtown Boulder is not large – maybe 10 blocks by 5 blocks – and very few of the buildings are more than three stories tall. Once you get outside the downtown Boulder core, you get some larger buildings and some office parks, but you are no longer in the core of downtown. If you get in your car and drive to the next towns over, such as Broomfield and Westminster, there is plenty of office space and some larger buildings.
But many companies that start in downtown Boulder want to stay in downtown Boulder. The companies build their culture around being downtown, benefit from the extremely high entrepreneurial density of Boulder, and the dynamics of being in a downtown core rather than in a suburban office park.
Ironically, the Boulder politicians have always seemed to have a bias against "business in Boulder." I've heard about it for the 16 years I've been here and experience it periodically. The zoning here is extremely restrictive and the decisions around zoning seem arbitrary. The division between retail, tourism, business, and residential seems in continual conflict. A few real estate developers own and control much of the existing office buildings in town and as a result end up having a zero sum approach to leasing space – specifically they jack rents up as high as possible when the market is tight, only to have them collapse when the market loosens up.
As I've watched local Boulder companies grow to be in the 100 to 300 employee range, I've watched them struggle with office space. If the trajectory of several of the local companies continues, this struggle will get more severe over the next 24 months. Inevitably, several of the larger companies will have to move outside of Boulder, even though they don't want to. When this happens, our real estate owner friends will once again have a lot of empty space on their hands which will fill up more slowly with smaller firms as they grow into what's available.
I'm not sure if this is a solvable problem given all of the different constituents involved. The contraints on Boulder's growth have many advantages and are part of what makes Boulder as great as it is. But it's also a weakness – one that is front and center right now as a number of companies who look like they could be long term, self-sustaining anchors of the Boulder entrepreneurial community have to figure out where to house 300 people going on 1,000.
I spent yesterday at University of Michigan with my partner Jason Mendelson (he's a two time grad – economics undergrad and then law school.) This was my first trip to Ann Arbor and I had a great time. It was fun to have Jason show me his old haunts, our new friend Wes took good care of us throughout the day, and we met a ton of interesting people including a bunch of entrepreneurs.
In one of our early meetings I heard a great line from one of the members of the UM Tech Transfer Mentor-in-Residence program.
The line was "College is like a sandbox if you are an entrepreneur. Falling down doesn't hurt much."
This made me think of a brilliant phrase from Alex White, the CEO of Next Big Sound, in his TechStars Demo Day pitch. I can't remember where in the presentation it was but Jason reminded me that one of Alex's great moments was when he said something like "We don't need to raise much money because we are cheap to keep alive."
Throughout the day we met with a bunch of college students – law school students, undergrads, MBAs, and a few PhD's. All of them were really lit up about entrepreneurship, were trying lots of stuff, had tons of questions, and challenged us to give them our views and feedback on what Ann Arbor needed to do to create a great entrepreneurial community.
At the end of the day we met with all the members in TechArb. This is the student accelerator – I was blown away by what they were doing. At some point I said to Jason "why doesn't CU Boulder have a thing like this." He had an answer that I'm still pondering, but effectively reinforced the initiative that the students and entrepreneurial leadership around the UMich were taking. During this session, I kept thinking "college is like a sandbox – it doesn't hurt much when you fall down."
Days like today are incredibly energizing for me. The level of enthusiasm and optimism among the people we met with was phenomenal. Their willingness and interest in learning and trying new stuff was apparent. And their understanding that plenty of things wouldn't work, but they wouldn't learn if they didn't try, was front and center.
To all the folks I met with today, thanks for making my first trip to Ann Arbor really fun and interesting. And, even though I couldn't care less about college football, good luck against Nebraska this weekend.
We launched Startup Colorado last week as part of the Startup America Partnership. I'm co-chairing this effort with Phil Weiser (Dean of CU Boulder Law School) and Jan Horsfall (CEO of Gelazzi). Dave Mangum (Silicon Flatirons Research Fellow) is the Executive Director and the effort is being sponsored by Silicon Flatirons at CU Boulder.
We've got a bunch of great entrepreneurs from Boulder, Denver, and Colorado Springs involved at this point and are reaching out to entrepreneurs in Fort Collins to help us get things up and running there. We're taking a 20 year view to this effort so rather than create some grand conceptual plans, we've chosen six initiatives to go after in the first year. We are building off of the incredible entrepreneurial community that has been created in Boulder and starting by exporting several of the concepts that we know work, while trying some new things in Boulder. The six initiatives are:
- Export the magic of the Boulder tech community to Fort Collins, Denver, and Colorado Springs by expanding New Tech Meetups, Open Coffee Clubs, and Community Office Hours to these cities.
- Create an Entrepreneurial Summer Camp in Boulder for talented college students from throughout Colorado. These students will be housed at CU Boulder and work as paid interns for Boulder startups.
- Support entrepreneurial education in the Front Range by developing a New Venture Challenge business competition for Boulder-area high schools with the goal of seeding the other Front Range cities with leaders to expand the competition throughout Colorado.
- Evaluate current barriers that entrepreneurs face, including an assessment of what best practices are in place at entrepreneurial communities around the US and world. We'll start by measuring in detail what's going on in Boulder and try to create a framework for any city.
- Engage larger companies in the entrepreneurial ecosystem through commitments to help entrepreneurs.
- Build the Startup Colorado website to be a thorough database for information and connections.
We are very aware that there are plenty of other cities in Colorado, especially on the western slope, and hope to include them in Startup Colorado in year two. We know that some of the ideas above won't work and we intend to make mistakes, kill things off quickly, and keep iterating on new ideas. Our goal is to do stuff, rather than just talk about stuff.
If you are an entrepreneur and want to get involved in helping lead the Startup Colorado effort, email me.
On November 9th, I'll be helping launch Startup Colorado. We'll be having a kickoff event at CU Boulder from 6:30pm – 8:35pm.
Startup Colorado will be one of the regional initiatives under the umbrella of the Startup America Partnership. Startup Colorado is an initiative to make a meaningful impact on entrepreneurship and new company creation in the Front Range. We want to expand the breadth and depth of entrepreneurial networks from Fort Collins to Boulder to Denver to Colorado Springs and lower barriers for people who want to build high-growth businesses.
At the launch event, our agenda will include talking specifically about what our plans and goals are for 2012. We'll be operating under my first principle of entrepreneurial communities – that an entrepreneurial community must be lead by entrepreneurs. We have a panel discussing what has happened in Boulder over the past decade and one about the power of mentorship.
We'll also be joined by several special guests, including Scott Case (Startup America Partnership CEO) and Aneesh Chopra (United States Chief Technology Officer).
If you are an entrepreneur in Colorado, we'd love to have you join us. Please register at the Silicon Flatirons site. The event will be at the Wittemyer Courtroom, Wolf Law Building, University of Colorado on Wednesday, November 9, 2011; 6:30 – 8:35 PM.

Can ranch dressing conquer the table?
Hidden Valley wants its thick, creamy dipping sauce waiting for you wherever you sit down to eat. Should Heinz be worried?
Condiments are big business -- worth $5.6 billion a year in the U.S., according to Bloomberg Businessweek -- and Hidden Valley wants its flagship ranch dressing, now available in a thicker formula called "Hidden Valley for Everything," to have a more prominent spot at the table.
How prominent? With the "Everything" campaign, the company wants ranch to be "as ubiquitous as ketchup on restaurant tables and in consumers' kitchens," Jon Balousek, head of the food, charcoal, and cat-litter division of Hidden Valley owner Clorox (CLX), tells The Wall Street Journal. The labels on the new "retro-style" bottle even call the product "the new 'ketchup'." Is this initiative anything more than hype?
Here's what you should know:
Where did ranch dressing come from?
Supposedly, the mixture of buttermilk, sour cream, yogurt, minced onion, and garlic powder was first concocted at Hidden Valley Ranch, an actual dude ranch in 1950s California. Clorox bought the brand and recipe in 1972. And now, with Hidden Valley for Everything, the company can talk up another "noble creation myth," says Hamilton Nolan at Gawker: Clorox executive Grant LaMontagne apparently formed the idea after watching "his college-age daughter 'bathe her entire salmon in ranch dressing.'"
What is Hidden Valley's game plan?
Hidden Valley for Everything -- a thicker, creamier ranch "topping and dip" -- and its new bottle are supposed to offer consumers the convenience of ketchup and the taste of ranch. "You can dollop it on a burger and it'll stick to a French fry better than the dressing would," Clorox spokesman David Kargas tells Britain's Daily Mail.
Don't Americans already put ranch on everything?
Ranch is the nation's most popular salad dressing, used twice as often as other flavors, according to market research firm NPD Group. And plenty of Americans use ranch on chicken, french fries, pizza, sandwiches, and chips. In fact, Hidden Valley says 15% of ranch is used on items other than salad and vegetables. That's a number they want to increase.
Is ketchup really the condiment to beat?
Ketchup is versatile and ubiquitous, but it isn't the best-selling condiment in the U.S. That would be mayonnaise, with 400 million containers sold each year, according to market-research firm SymphonyIRI Group. Next is salsa (271 million jars), and then ketchup (256 million bottles). Heinz (HNZ) Ketchup makes a tempting target for Hidden Valley, with sales of $278 million a year, but Unilever's (UN) Hellmann's sells $401 million worth of mayo and even sales of Frito-Lay's Tostito's salsa beats the revenue from Heinz ketchup by $6 million a year.
Is aiming for ranch domination a good idea?
Maybe for Hidden Valley, but not for Americans, says Gawker's Nolan. "There's no easier way to add thousands of calories of pure fat to your diet every day, with no added vitamins, while successfully causing the rest of the world to retch in disgust at our collective resignation to a life of riding motorized scooters through the grocery store." There is an opportunity here, says JT at So Good, but, for ranch to become ubiquitous in restaurants, Clorox will have to come up with a non-refrigerated version, with a list of ingredients that will force me to dig out my high school chemistry textbook.

The Winnipeg Blue Bombers will have to do without one of their top draft picks this season as defensive back Kris Robertson is out for the season with a torn ACL.
"Our organization was very much looking forward to Kris coming to camp this year but unfortunately he has suffered a serious knee injury after the draft that will force him to miss the entire season," said Blue Bombers general manager Joe Mack in a statement. "We wish him well in his recovery and anticipate him joining our team next year."
"It sucks to say but unfortunately I will not be going to camp with the blue bombers this year. I tore my ACL. I will recover from this," Robertson (@KROB23) said on Twitter. "Stay positive no time for negative thoughts or energy."
The Concordia product was drafted in the second round, 11th overall at this year's CFL Draft.
In other news, the Blue Bombers signed non-import receiver Michael DiCroce, the team's fourth round pick.

Get vaccinated to keep your family safe from the flu this winter season
Published on Tue, Dec 31, 2013
Read More
The holidays are synonymous with travel, parties and get-togethers and that creates opportunities for people to spread illnesses like the flu. The state department of health recommends getting a flu vaccine to protect yourself and your family and avoid falling under the weather this holiday season.
The flu is more serious than the common cold, and it can cause complications that lead to hospitalization and death. A Tri-
Cities woman in her 50s was recently reported as the state's first laboratory-confirmed flu-related death this season. The virus can spread before a person knows they're sick. Many people with flu have a fever, cough, sore throat, runny nose, body aches and fatigue.
You can do something about it – get vaccinated and use good health manners to avoid getting or giving flu this season. Cover your cough, wash your hands, and stay home and away from others when you're sick. It takes two weeks after vaccination to be protected.
"Getting a yearly flu vaccine is the first and most important thing you can do to protect yourself and avoid spreading the flu to others, especially people who may be more vulnerable," said state health officer Dr. Maxine Hayes. "There are a number of options of the flu vaccine this year. Ask your health care provider about which one is best for you and your family."
The flu is highly contagious and can make even healthy people very sick. Flu vaccines are recommended for everyone six months and older. It's especially important for people at high risk – such as young kids; people 65 and older; pregnant women and people with chronic conditions, including asthma, diabetes, heart disease and neurological conditions. Babies under six months are too young to get vaccinated. People in close contact with babies should get vaccinated to protect the infants.
Some kids under nine may need two doses about a month apart. All recommended immunizations, including flu vaccines, are given at no cost for all kids in our state through age 18. Most health plans cover flu vaccinations for adults. For more resources call the Family Health Hotline at 800/322-2588.
Flu vaccines are available at many locations including health care professional offices, pharmacies and some local health agencies. Check the flu vaccine finder at flushot.healthfinder.org to find out where to get flu vaccine in Blaine and Birch Bay.
Don't let the flu spoil your holiday plans. Get vaccinated now to help protect you, your loved ones and your community through the holidays and the rest of flu season.

Yet again...3 Reviews
and another love note.
I don't really want to do this.
I don't really feel like I'm really getting much feedback. At all. Feedback is good. It helps me see what you're thinking and if I should just quit writing. Because I'm not a mind reader. I can't even read my own mind sometimes.
And so I'm forced to do something that I really don't want to do.
In order to keep the story going, I need opinions from all of you. In the form of reviews. Because some of you who do review are good at telling me if you liked the chapter and/or if it was confusing, etc. So (this is the part I don't like) I have decided that I'm not going to update unless I get reviews. I'm sorry and I don't like it, but it needs to be done.
So it starts now and it goes on until I feel better about myself.

For those of you who enjoy Georgia Bulldog-related collectibles, a new action figure coming from McFarlane Toys and Clarktoys.com in September is available for pre-order: Matthew Stafford in his Detroit Lions uniform.
Here's the company's spiel for Stafford: "The former Georgia Bulldog QB, drafted #1 overall in 2009 by the Detroit Lions, had been plagued by injuries in his first two NFL seasons, only playing 13 total games over the course of two years. In 2011, with the injuries behind him, Stafford put together the greatest quarterback performance in the history of the Detroit Lions. The 2011 season was the official 'I have arrived' party. Stafford threw for more than 5,000 yards (only the 4th QB in NFL history to do so), with 41 touchdowns, and led the Lions to the playoffs for the first time since 1999. He currently holds the Lions franchise record for passing yards, passing touchdowns, passing attempts, and completion percentage for a single season."
Pretty impressive.
Unlike most of the McFarlane NFL line, the Stafford figure will only be available via Clarktoys.com and won't be sold at retail.
Pre-orders of the $17.99 limited-edition figure, which will ship in July, can be made online. And for $27.99 you can get a combo of the Stafford figure with one of Lions receiver (and North Avenue Trade School alum) Calvin Johnson that ships in September. (Some of you Tech fans that spend so much time on the Blawg might at least want to jump on the latter.)
Now, let's get to some Junkyard Mail. …
Matt Cafaro writes: Bill, With this new reality of playoffs in 2014, will we FINALLY see the end of McGarity's Florida-esque scheduling of boring cupcakes? The committee that will be choosing the four playoff participants will give some weight to winning a conference and maybe margin of victory, but it seems, most importantly, to strength of schedule. I'm sure the S.O.S. component will be important because it's the only way Notre Dame could ever gain access into the playoff if they actually become relevant again (hard to say that with a straight face, haha), but also because of the upcoming Big 10 and PAC 12 scheduled games. McGarity's way of scheduling just won't fly with the BCS finally dying. So will Georgia again embrace competitive scheduling? … McGarity's way is cowardly, let's just come out and say that. It's cowardly and boring and beneath UGA. Better to be beaten by Oklahoma State than win another yawner versus Jacksonville State. Go Dawgs!
You make a valid point, but I don't think the mere prospect of a strength-of-schedule component in the selection of teams for the playoff is going to be enough to prompt immediate changes at UGA or any of the other SEC schools that tend to go with two or three cupcake games each season. (Georgia, Florida and South Carolina, of course, each have BCS-level nonconference rivals on their schedule every year.) As McGarity told the Chattanooga Times-Free Press on the subject of adding a ninth conference game in the SEC, "We are locked into nonconference games with very high liquidated damages for both parties in some games through 2016. … I fully expect to play every one of our nonconference opponents on the Saturdays we have fully executed contracts with." UGA has a dozen contracts for nonconference games, with the buyouts ranging from $1.2 million to $450,000. It also should be noted that, in addition to playing Georgia Tech every year, UGA "periodically" (McGarity's word) likes to schedule a second major nonconference opponent, and the Bulldogs have Clemson coming on the schedule for their twice-a-decade appearances in 2013 and 2014. Georgia was supposed to play Ohio State in 2020-2021, but the Buckeyes canceled that deal because of Big 10 teams adding a PAC 12 opponent each year. As you made reference to, McGarity brought the cupcake-heavy philosophy from the University of Florida, where it helped secure a couple of BCS titles. Still, there's no getting around how weak and downright unattractive this year's UGA nonconference schedule is. The Oklahoman recently ranked the nonference schedules of the 68 schools in the six major conferences and UGA, playing Buffalo, Florida Atlantic, Georgia Southern and Tech this year, came in 47th, falling far short of Michigan, which topped the list by scheduling Alabama, Notre Dame and Air Force. Of course, most of the schedules looked more like Georgia's than Michigan's, as cupcakes have become the preferred dish in college athletic offices. And the Oklahoman ranked the conferences in terms of schedules, and the SEC lagged behind the Big 12, PAC 12, ACC and Big 10, but ahead of the Big East. Whether the playoff selection committee (assuming that's what we end up with) giving weight to strength of schedule will be enough to reverse the cupcake trend remains to be seen. A bigger factor might be ticket sales. UGA is still offering single season tickets and multiple single-game tickets to the Buffalo, Florida Atlantic and Vanderbilt games. If the number of unsold seats starts to grow for the weaker opponents coming to Athens, Georgia might indeed rethink its scheduling philosophy.
In another schedule-related question, Josh Floyd writes: Are you as tired as I am of the demeaning of UGA football accomplishments last year due to the reasoning of weak scheduling, and this year that any titles should have an asterisk because of the "weak" schedule? I'm so appalled at the lack of truthfulness by the media, and other SEC head ball, er, coaches, that don't seem to realize it's on a rotation. There is no bias or conspiracy to give UGA an "easy" schedule. I'm with Coach Mark Richt: Tell me the rules, and who we're playing, and let's go do the best we can.
You're right, it's been ridiculous how many supposedly knowledgeable folks who should know better (including at ESPN) have been implying that Georgia pulled a fast one or got away with something in the conference schedules for 2011 and 2012. It was just the Dogs' turn in the rotation for the easier cross-division schedule. (In 2008, for example, Georgia played both Alabama and LSU from the SEC West.) If the SEC honchos at conference headquarters in Birmingham give special consideration to any program, it's certainly not UGA's!
Commenting on a couple of issues recently discussed here, Harry Charbonneau writes: Bill, The University of Georgia substance abuse policy is superb. Drug use is antithetical to athletics and all Georgia fans should be proud of our tough and uncompromising policy on drugs. I agree entirely with Greg McGarity's and Coach Richt's stance on this issue. I am proud to be an alumnus of a university that leads the way in setting these standards. [Also] the black jerseys should definitely be revived and used this year. The black jerseys with red helmets and silver pants is a great look. I think they should be used in several home games and would like to have the players select the games. I agree Auburn at home would be an excellent time for black and I suspect the players might agree. I greatly enjoy your blog.
Thanks, Harry. I can't disagree with you on the drug policy, though it would be nice if the standards were higher throughout the conference or nationwide, so the Dogs weren't put at a competitive disadvantage. As for the black jerseys, I agree it's a terrific look, but I believe once per season would be sufficient.
Switching sports, James Gates writes: Bill, I am a regular reader of your Blawg — keep up the great work! One of my best friends from college, Brent Paten, and I are UGA alumni and supporters of the basketball program. While attending the UGA-Bama basketball game a few years ago (Mark Fox's and Anthony Grant's first seasons, respectively) we were discussing what simple things we could we do to help our program reach its potential. Brent suggested that we should swap court directions so that we force our opponent to shoot at the student section goal in the second half. … Brent noted that it is rather idiotic we do not do this. Let's be honest: Stegeman Coliseum is not packed for every game. However, our fans (particularly the students) show up for the really big games. The weeknight and Saturday SEC contests are well attended and supported by the student body. It would be not only a savvy move but also an easy fix to involve them more in the game. Forcing the visitor to shoot into our student section in the second half would provide a true home court advantage. The section is elevated and the band is adjacent to the students. If you think I am overemphasizing this element of the college game please review footage of our games at the O'Connell Center or Rupp Arena and then look at our games in Stegeman. Observe our opponent's focus as they shoot critical second half free throws totally undisturbed into Stegeman's crowd of older folks seated in folding chairs. (Of course, these programs have combined to win 3 of the past 7 national championships in basketball so they might not know what they are doing). It's not just free throws either. Our students get loud and more importantly can disrupt the opponent's ability to operate its half-court offense. I would appreciate you mentioning this in your Blawg to see what others might think. GO DAWGS!
It does seem like a simple change that might help the second-half atmosphere at the Steg. Georgia roundball fans, what do you think?

I totally agree with the notion of switching court directions for basketball games. As a recent graduate of the University of Georgia, and having attended the majority of the basketball games over the past couple of years, I'd have to say that the student section is considerably louder than the "old folks" section of Stegeman.
And bring back the black!
Go Dawgs!

Matt Cafaro needs to look at ND's SOS. Phil Steele has it rated the hardest in the country for 2012. ND has never played a FCS school. It plays a very intriguing schedule virtually every year. The service academies might be the only things close to a cupcake and yet I do not see SEC schools reaching out to play Navy or Air Force. I think as long as the SEC is held at the current level of respective, going undefeated in the conference regardless of the OOC schedules is not going to matter. I think for other conferences it might however.

Black jerseys are stupid. It was a nice gimmick, but it is played out. Just stick with the regular jerseys and focus on the dadgum gameplan.
Typical UGA stuff on the court direction. Basketball is just so irrellevant to the athletic department that they have never thought about it. They probably do not want to upset the 50 season ticket holders whose total contributions probably don't add up to more than a couple hundred thousand dollars. Basketball could be a money maker if the AD would realize that the "donors" are wastes of space and a winning program would provide a huge infusion of new money.
It's so painful that Calvin Johnson chose to waste his college career. I have no doubt that UGA would have won the national title in 2005 with the Shockley to Johnson connection.

I love the fact that UGA and richt have made a stand when it comes to drug use, and I only wish that it would be made more public how harsh UGA's standards are versus everyone else. It really makes UGA look bad when they have all these suspensions, but it should really be more publicised that this is because UGA has higher standards then everyone else.
I love the black uniforms, bring them back.

If these performances do not get better, then it will be time for another episode of a Willie Martinez exodus; see what happens when you put a more qualified, more energetic, more knowledgeable Coach in a position like that!!

There are an infinite number of possible solutions to my Special Theory of Relativity. One solution recently found by a supercomputer actually suggests the possibility of a UGA national championship under Mark Richt. In order to be mathematically correct, however, the solution requires that the sun rise in the west, the moon is made of green cheese, and dinosaurs still roam the earth.

James, I totally agree with you on switching court directions for bball! It just makes sense & I can tell you that students would actually be more into the games if they were closer to the action as opposed to sitting in the upper level (though Stegeman isn't that big of an arena). I wish McGarity would open up the whole lower level to students (maybe the first 10 rows or so) like most other schools. At the very least, McGarity should open up the section opposite to the current student section under the jumbotron to students–which would create a true home court advantage.
June 23rd, 2012

We may have a softer than usual schedule but we still have to complete full games. We have lost to lesser talent in the recent past. The lack of finishing games, is my primary concern. Can we be focused for a full four quarters. Nothing new under the sun, but seems to be difficult for the offensive coaches and players of to do against quality opponents.

June 24th, 2012
10:33 am
Cupcakes may not be the most exciting games, BUT I believe they are necessary. Starting off the season against a top ten opponent and then moving into the SEC schedule is goofy. Especially since ALL the rest of the SEC teams are going to have at least two, and usually three lesser opponents. Not having the cupcakes is like going to a foot race and strapping on ankle weights when no one else is wearing them. Playing eight SEC conference games every year is more than enough to prove yourself.
I could go forever without seeing another gimmick uniform. It was great the first time but it seems lame after that. A different color jersey is not what is going to win games. Talent, preparation, attitude, focus, and execution are what wins games. Having your mind right is much more important than wardrobe.
Now GATA DAWGS!!!

Recently saw on ESPN an episode on Herschel. Him running over Bates and those other UT guys that night in Knoxville. The white jersey, red helmet and red pants looked pretty good in that game, maybe use that uni again sometime? Oh yeah, Dooley sold those red pants to Lincoln County High. The best alternate uni the Dogs wore was against Wisconsin in one of those Florida bowls. White jersey, black pants, red helmets. I think that was under Donnan, and we wore Wis. out that day. Bring that look back, and forget the black jerseys. I think Bama wore us out in that so called blackout game. Better yet, stick to what we got. No gimmicks, just "man up" and beat somebody!!

Georgia plays four of the twenty teams with most all time (Division 1) wins every year. If we make it to to the SECCG and play Bama or LSU, that will be 5 of the top twenty teams of all time. Throw in trips to Columbia MO. & S.C. along with a game against Ole Miss (# 29 all time) and it is amusing to think Georgia has to apologize for anything.
As a matter of fact College Football Warehouse puts Georgia at #2 all time in strength of schedule, behind only Michigan……
The problem is not that Georgia has a weak schedule but that Tennessee, Auburn, Florida, and Georgia Tech are all under performing currently.
Just win baby.

"the $17.99 limited-edition figure"
No, I don't think so. But hey, if he was outfitted in the Power Ranger uniforms that UGA wore last year vs. BSU, it would probably be a big seller.

Florida has Bowling Green, Louisiana Rajun Cajuns, and Jacksonville State on their schedule this year. The reason their schedule is rated so high is that their SEC schedule includes LSU, and their "regular" OOC BCS school is Florida State, who is rated higher than ours ( Tech ).

UGA is the Red & Black but we only see that combo occasionally!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I would love to see that combo FREQUENTLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Bowling Green went 9-4 last year and won their bowl game. Jacksonville State almost beat the Semis a few years ago. MUCH tougher OOC schedule than UGA. Spin it however you'd like. I just take offense with the folks that always say UF plays nothing but cupcakes while our schedule is rated in the top 20 toughest year after year.

Beast, I didn't mean to demean the Gators schedule. Rather, I think that those who play in the SEC shouldn't be crtitcized for scheduling as much as they are. We have people complaining about UGA's games this year and don't want to go to the games. When we don't sell out these opponents often enough, then better teams will be scheduled. If the Swamp doesn't sell out then UF will change who they schedule. I think it is absurd to think that an SEC team needs to fill out it's schedule with Michigans and USC's, etc. Of course, all SEC teams schedules may be affected by the new playoff system which supposedly will use "strength of schedule". I personally think that the SEC got screwed in the new playoff system.

Here's where the SEC schools stand in Phil Steele's Top 50 toughest schedules for 2012:
2. Ole Miss
5. Florida
8. Texas A&M
13. S. Carolina
17. Auburn
18. Arkansas
19. Missouri
28. Bama
38. Miss St
47. Vandy
Georgia is the only SEC school not listed in the Top 50. Dawg fans certainly have a legitimate gripe about the home schedule this season.

Would everyone quit whining about the schedule…In 2008 the schedule bit us squarely in the backside. For example, the trip to Arizona was followed by the disaster against Alabama. How exactly did out trips to Oklahoma State or Colorado help our program? The Florida way of scheduling has produced two national championships in the last ten years while our has produced none. As far as the weak conference schedule, since Arkansas joined the SEC we would rather have played them every year instead of Auburn. Teams have up years and down years and we are simply catching a break in having some teams with what looks to be down years coming up on our schedule. Bill, your constant negativity is not helpful to a program you claim to support.

In my wine appreciation class, I always try to pull out an older wine to demonstrate that "older" is "better" applies only to epeeists, but not to wine. Well...sure blew this one:
1. HopKiln RussianRiverVlly PetiteSirah (12.5%; http://www.hopkilnwinery.com) 1978: Very dark/near black color w/ very little bricking; very strong peppery/old vine/dusty perfumed slight floral/violets/dried rose petal complex beautiful aromatic nose; soft/round/velvety/very smooth spicy/peppery/floral slight licorice/pungent bit cedary quite complex/old vine flavor; very long/lingering smooth/polished/velvety spicy/peppery/cedary/dusty finish w/ whisps of tannins; incredibly young & alive and come together amazingly well w/ no signs of drying out whatsoever; a real treasure. $7.09 (back when gas was a whopping $.69/gallon)
Ruminations from the BloodyPulpit:
1. There was a fair amout of leakage and the wine was ullaged halfway down the shoulder. The label was stained from leakage of the '63 Smoot-Hawley White Zin that was on top of it. Lots of gunk on the lip. Cork was a bit fragile but came out whole.
The first thing that got my attention when I poured it was the color...very dark/near black. I'm certain Marty musta blended in a small amount of PetiteSirah to make it darker.
The next thing I noticed was the incredible legs that just kept on rivulting down the side of the glass. 12.5% alcohol?? Don't think so!!
I had little hope for this wine when I pulled it out, pretty certain it was dead. Whatta surprise. It was one of the few PetiteSirahs that has come together well and into a harmonious balance on the palate. Amazing seldom that a 28 yr old wine does that. Not quite up there w/ the '71 Ridge YorkCreek, but awfully darned close.
2. Back in the late '70's, Marty Griffin was making some incredible wines at HopKiln. His Zin, Primitivo (one of the first to use that term on his label) from very old vines, PetiteSirah, and...tada...Marty Griffin's Big Red was a steal. Huge/powerful wines at attractive wines. Not sure what happened to Marty or if he's even alive anymore. And it was a great/funky place to visit. And I seem to recall some botrytis/dessert wines that were pretty terrific. Haven't tried the HopKiln's in a number of yrs, but my last impressions were that they were no longer in the same league of those early one.
TomHill (waxing nostalgic about $.21/gallon gasoline a great HopKilns)

Since photos emerged of Heidi Klum looking cosy with her bodyguard on a beach, everyone assumed the two were romantically involved.
Then when her soon-to-be ex-husband Seal lashed out at her for "fornicating" with her staff member, Heidi still remained schtum about the nature of the two's relationship.
Now the model has confirmed what everyone pretty much already knew, that she's doing it with her bodyguard. Well she didn't quite phrase it like that, however during an interview on a US TV show she did say:
"I don't know if I can call it [a relationship]. It just started. I don't know."
She then went onto concede that the two were "seeing" each other and that, over the four years they've known each other, they've become very close.
Meanwhile Seal is probably somewhere seething right now.

Hormones are special chemicals your body makes to help it do certain things - like grow up! Hormones are important when you start to go through puberty, which is when you begin developing into an adult. During this time, you're loaded with hormones that tell your body that it's time to start changing.
Insulin is an important hormone. It regulates the amount of sugar in your blood. That sugar, called glucose, is the body's main source of fuel.

2009 Player Previews - Ryan Dempster
Quick Links:
- 2008 Recap: Ryan Dempster
- The case against Ryan Dempster
- The case FOR Ryan Dempster
- I almost take it back - this deal is alright, aka the I'm a Genius thread
Many of you know that I predicted a World Series Championship last season during Spring Training. Wait a minute that was Ryan Dempster. Well, I really predicted that Dempster would be an All-Star and rack a 17-6 record with a 2.96 ERA, not to mention a 1.20 WHIP in 206 innings. Who am I kidding, nobody thought Dempster would or could do that in any amount of innings.
Before last season, his best season as a starter came back in 200 with the Marlins. He posed a 3.36 ERA with 1.356 WHIP. During the spring, I was actually rooting for Jon Lieber to win a rotation spot. I really didn't think Dempster was going to be able to hold up as a starter, but in reality was our best pitcher last season.
So, where does that leave us? Of course the Cubs went out and resigned Dempster to a 4-year 52 million dollar deal before the market crumbled. Will this hurt the Cubs? That truly is the question.
A few things alarm me about Dempster:
- He was in a contract year.
- It was first season starting since his surgery.
- He walked a gazillion people in Game 1 of the NLDS.
- He was in a contract year, oh wait I said that before. Still he was in a contract year.
Does this mean that Dempster can't repeat his numbers? No, but I'm very worried that he is going to regress at least a lot. I hope he proves me wrong, but I can't see a way he puts up those Cy Young type numbers this season. The guys at Baseball Prospectus seem to agree with me.
They have Dempster's line at 11-9 with a 4.10 ERA in 168 innings to go along with his 1.38 WHIP.
I hope these numbers are wrong, but I would have thought his line would've been closer to this last season. The Cubs success will rest in large part on the shoulders of Dempster. Honestly, you have to think that Carlos Zambrano might be a little better (if healthy), and Ted Lilly (who I will talk about Thursday) will be about the same. The Cubs are putting a lot of faith into one year, and I hope the Canadian is up to the challenge, because he was a joy to watch last season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What age group is this system for?
A: We aimed this for kids between approximately 5 and 12 years old. In our focus groups we had children as old as 16 excited about using it. This system won't cover directly many of the things an older child will need but the principles are the same.
Q: How long should I take to get through the workbook?
A: It is completely up to you. You may want to split it up and do different sections on different days. Or sit down once a week with your child and go as far as you feel is prudent.
Q: Is this something my child can do on their own?
A: Sure they could. The system is designed to make it a fun learning experience for your child. However, it might be wise to spend time with them doing this. They need to hear what your values towards money are. Most children will have many questions about money as they progress through the book. It is important you help them.
Q: Should I pay my child an allowance so they can learn money management skills?
A: This of course, is an individual choice. We definitely advocate providing as many opportunities as possible for your child to learn lifelong money management skills. You will need to weigh this with earning money beliefs and such.
Q: How long should my child use the system?
A: As long as they want. The principles are ageless. That's the point. Obviously older children will need to learn about and use financial institutions and many of the financial instruments we use in today's society. But the principles from this system will be used for the rest of their life.
Q: Can I just buy the workbook?
A: Yes, of course. However, please keep in mind that the workbook is highly integrated with the rest of the system components. The other components are referred to quite often in the workbook
Q: Is there anything else I should do?
A: We recommend simply making time to talk with your child about what they're learning. Your input and attitude and time will go a long way on teaching them smart money principles.
Q: What if my child makes a mistake and doesn't follow the system?
A: Actually this is welcomed as this provides teaching moments for the parent. There is close to no way anyone will be 100% compliant. But it is much better for them to make mistakes now instead of later in life when mistakes could be quite devastating. Patience and understanding is key to helping them get back on track.
Q: If my child has a pouch designated for a certain goal and have been saving for a while, can they change that goal and use it for something else?
A: Flexibility is part of life. This is actually a prime teaching opportunity for a child to learn about tradeoffs. If you're okay with it of course. Simply rename the pouch or use a different one.
Q: Do I have to use the pouches for the areas the system specifies?
A: Nope. We've tried to identify 4 common areas where money goes and teach kids about each one. If you would rather call them something else or have different areas, go for it.
Q: Do I have to use all 4 pouches?
A :You can use however many pouches you like, less or more. If you need more, they can be purchased from our website.

Research interests and activities:
I currently work as Teaching Fellow in Norwegian at the Department of Scandinavian Studies, UCL, and as Editorial Assistant for Norvik Press Ltd, UCL.
I completed my PhD in Scandinavian Studies at UCL in February 2011. My thesis, Nordic Italies examines representations of Italy in Nordic Literatures written between the 1830s and the 1910s. I also hold an MA in Comparative Literature and a BA in Scandinavian Studies with Management Studies, both from UCL.
In the course of the past two years, I worked as a postdoc fellow (Knowledge Transfer Associate) for UCL Advances (the UCL Centre for Entrepreneurship and Business Interaction), examining the challenges faced by small publishing companies specialised in the Humanities and exploring new potential ways of cooperation between small publishing companies like Norvik Press and the higher education sector. I have also published a number of academic articles related to the topic of my PhD thesis and taught on various aspects of Scandinavian literature and culture at UCL.

WASHINGTON (AP) - Scientists have found a compelling clue in the quest to learn what causes age-related memory problems, and to one day be able to tell if those misplaced car keys are just a senior moment or an early warning of something worse.
Wednesday's report offers evidence that age-related memory loss really is a distinct condition from pre-Alzheimer's - and offers a hint that what we now consider the normal forgetfulness of old age might eventually be treatable.
Researchers at Columbia University Medical Center examined brains, young and old ones, donated from people who died without signs of neurologic disease. They discovered that a certain gene in a specific part of the hippocampus, the brain's memory center, quits working properly in older people. It produces less of a key protein.
That section of the brain, called the dentate gyrus, has long been suspected of being especially vulnerable to aging. Importantly, it's a different neural neighborhood than where Alzheimer's begins to form.
But it's circumstantial evidence that having less of that protein, named RbAp48, affects memory loss in older adults. So the researchers took a closer look at mice, which become forgetful as they age in much the same way that people do.
Sure enough, cutting levels of the protein made healthy young rodents lose their way in mazes and perform worse on other memory tasks just like old mice naturally do.
More intriguing, the memory loss was reversible: Boosting the protein made forgetful old mice as sharp as the youngsters again, the researchers reported in the journal Science Translational Medicine.
"It's the best evidence so far" that age-related memory loss isn't the same as early Alzheimer's, said Nobel laureate Dr. Eric Kandel, who led the Columbia University team.
And since some people make it to 100 without showing much of a cognitive slowdown, the work begs another question: "Is that normal aging, or is it a deterioration that we're allowing to occur?" Kandel said.
"As we want to live longer and stay engaged in a cognitively complex world, I think even mild age-related memory decline is meaningful," added Columbia neurologist Dr. Scott Small, a senior author of the study. "It opens up a whole avenue of investigation to now try to identify interventions."
This is early-stage research that will require years of additional work to confirm, cautioned Dr. Molly Wagster of the National Institute on Aging, who wasn't involved with the report.
But Wagster said the findings add to a growing body of evidence suggesting "that we're not all on the road to Alzheimer's disease" after we pass a certain age.
For example, other researchers have found that connections between neurons in other parts of the brain weaken with normal aging, making it harder but not impossible to retrieve memories. In contrast, Alzheimer's kills neurons.
How does Wednesday's research fit? Many pathways make up a smoothly functioning memory, and that protein plays a role in turning a short-term memory - like where you left those car keys - into a longer-term one, Kandel explained.
Some good news: Scientists already know that exercise makes the dentate gyrus - that age-targeted spot in the hippocampus - function better, Small said. He's also studying if nutrition might make a difference.

Not just the uneducated rustic but children of the cultural elite are now regularly seen yawning openly in public (not so much brazenly or forgetfully as indifferently and "naturally"), unaware that it is an embarrassment to human self-command to be caught in the grip of involuntary bodily movements (like sneezing, belching, and hiccuping and even the involuntary bodily display of embarrassment itself, blushing).But at least he makes it perfectly clear which anxieties are at the root of his hate.
A less depressing conversation, especially after the Marie Claire / Mike & Molly thread.I watched a number of people in that thread condemn all overweight people for their lifestyle choices, when I know damned well that at least three MeFite friends of mine reading that thread have medical issues (NOT lifestyle ones) that make weight gain incredibly easy and weight loss extremely difficult. I hoped this thread might help folks who were participating there be a little more empathetic to one other.
Perhaps it would change things if commenters were more aware that they are discussing a topic with other thread participants who probably don't look like Kate Moss?

See What Lady Gaga Looks Like Without Makeup!
June 05, 2014 Celebs on Social Media
Lady Gaga is known for her wild outfits, so we were shocked to see this selfie of Mother Monster with no makeup!
The musician, real name Stefani Germanotta, snapped the pic while curled up in bed and included the caption, "Day off sleepy girl."
Lady Gaga must have been a little tired after ArtPop Ball tour stops in San Diego and San Jose. Now, she's on a little break. Next stop? Milwaukee's Summerfest on June 26.
