Though all the attention has been focused on Todd Grantham's new 3-4 front, the secondary has been the biggest symbol of the Georgia defense's precipitous decline over the last few years, going from second in the SEC and fifth nationally in pass defense in 2006 to ninth and 51st, respectively, in '09. Statistically, last year was a big improvement for the Dawgs' secondary under new DBs coach Scott Lakatos -- they finished 17th in the nation, allowing only 181 yards per game -- but a lot of that had to do with a generally lackluster class of quarterbacks in the SEC. A series of coverage breakdowns on third down means that this unit still has some work to do.
1. Bacarri Rambo (6'0", 210), RJr.
2. Jakar Hamilton (6'2", 203), Sr.
3. Corey Moore (6'1", 195), Fr.
1. Alec Ogletree (6'3", 224), Soph.
2. Shawn Williams (6'1", 213), Jr.
3. Chris Sanders (6'1", 176), Fr.
1. Brandon Boykin (5'10", 180), Sr.
2. Branden Smith (5'11", 175), Jr.
3. Damian Swann (6'0", 175), Fr.
1. Sanders Commings (6'2", 210), RJr.
2. Jordan Love (6'0", 185), RSoph.
3. Derek Owens (5'9", 166), Soph.
Who's coming back. Time for some good news: All four starters in the secondary -- safeties Bacarri Rambo and Alec Ogletree and corners Brandon Boykin and Sanders Commings -- are back for 2010. Not only that, but their backups (Jakar Hamilton, Shawn Williams, Branden Smith and Jordan Love, respectively) are returning as well. This is as experienced a two-deep as the Dawgs have had in quite a while.
Who's not. Of the DBs on Georgia's 2010 roster who saw regular playing time on defense (as opposed to being a special-teams role player), only cornerback Vance Cuff will be moving on. Rising senior safety Nick Williams is expected to transfer due to the crowd at his position.
Who's new. Georgia's blockbuster 2011 recruiting class included no fewer than seven DBs, and while one of them (blue-chipper Malcolm Mitchell) is being talked about as a potential WR sleeper, several of the others have a shot at working their way into backup roles over the summer. The ones most frequently mentioned are Corey Moore and Chris Sanders, both of whom could help shore up a so-so depth situation at safety; Nick Marshall, a converted quarterback, could figure into that mix as well. Cornerback Damian Swann will need some time to bulk up a bit when he arrives in Athens, but he was rated the No. 5 prospect in the state by Rivals and was pursued by big-name programs from Florida to Oklahoma to USC, so don't be surprised if you start hearing his name over the summer, too.
Outlook. The Dawgs' pass defense made a big statistical improvement in 2010, and every single player on the two-deep returns. That's about as good a situation as Scott Lakatos could ask for, and yet there are still some big questions that need to be answered. Among them: Can the Dawgs lock down against a good quarterback (and if so, can they do it without incurring a hailstorm of pass-interference penalties)? It's all well and good to handle QBs such as Matt Simms and Larry Smith, but if the Ryan Malletts, Mike Hartlines and Cam Newtons of the world are still carpet-bombing you -- just for comparison's sake, those three combined for 881 yards and a 9-2 TD-INT ratio on 60-for-91 passing against the Dawgs last year -- it's clear there's work left to be done.
Complicating matters is the fact that the player who should be the leader of this unit, junior safety Bacarri Rambo, took a puzzling step back last year after a breakout performance in 2009. It's looking like he may be moved over to strong safety while Alec Ogletree, a blue-chip true freshman who quickly worked his way into a starting role last year, takes the free spot. Rambo probably doesn't have to worry about surrendering his starting status at this point -- his backup, Jakar Hamilton, lived up to his "Hitman" nickname in the opener against Louisiana-Lafayette and effectively disappeared after that -- but it does mean that new recruit Corey Moore, whose speed and athleticism may put him in the "too valuable to redshirt" category, will be afforded plenty of opportunities to state his case for playing time.
Things look a little more settled at the cornerback spot, where Sanders Commings was impressive in his first year as a starter. Backups Jordan Love and Derek Owens saw enough playing time last year that Dawg fans should feel fairly confident about this position's continued progress, but depending on how his summer goes, Damian Swann could be another one of those freshmen who's just too good to leave on the bench. As for the rest of the 2011 recruiting class, Devin Bowman and Quintavious Harrow are likely redshirt candidates at the moment; an intriguing question mark is Nick Marshall, a two-way player who may be tapped for a special-teams role early on but with more opportunities coming available as he beings to prove himself on the field.
Georgia's defensive line struggled in 2010 but looks fairly well-stocked with reinforcements heading into 2011. The linebacking corps finds itself in the opposite situation: They actually had a pretty decent year in 2010, gradually getting comfortable with their new role as the engine behind the defense's QB pressure, but loses a wealth of talent and experience. Other than the RBs, no single corps of players on Georgia's roster is as likely to see contributions from the '11 recruiting class as the linebackers are.
1. Cornelius Washington (6'4", 247), RJr.
2. Reuben Faloughi (6'5", 234), RSoph.
3. Chase Vasser (6'3", 225), RSoph.
1. Jarvis Jones (6'3", 234), RSoph.
2. Richard Samuel (6'2", 234), Sr.
3. Michael Gilliard (6'2", 225), Jr.
1. Christian Robinson (6'2", 217), RJr.
2. Amarlo Herrera (6'1", 224), Fr.
3. Kent Turene (6'3", 230), Fr.
1. Ray Drew (6'5", 248), Fr.
2. T.J. Stripling (6'6", 214), Soph.
3. Dexter Morant (6'7", 240), Soph.
Who's coming back. Christian Robinson and Cornelius Washington had both put hammerlocks on starting positions by the end of last season; they return along with a couple of Washington's backups, Reuben Faloughi and Chase Vasser. Converted running back Richard Samuel and Michael Gilliard are familiar faces at ILB, and both will be in the mix for playing time, if not the starting job. On the outside, T.J. Stripling returns as a sentimental favorite after an ugly knee injury suffered at Colorado ended his 2010 season prematurely.
Who's not. Five of the top six tacklers in the LB corps are gone, headlined by sack impresario Justin Houston, who surprised exactly no one by foregoing his senior season to take a shot at a likely first-round pick in the NFL Draft. Also departed are graduating seniors Akeem Dent, Darryl Gamble and Akeem Hebron, as well as junior Marcus Dowtin, who left the team under dicey circumstances in January.
Who's new. The headliner of the rookie class is certainly Ray Drew, an ordained reverend from Thomasville who put his preaching skills to work urging other recruits to join him on Georgia's "Dream Team" after committing in late January. The Dawgs, however, will be more interested in his tackling skills, particularly since he's been pegged as the heir apparent to Justin Houston. Fellow Dream Teamers Amarlo Herrera and Kent Turene also have a decent shot at playing time thanks to shaky depth on the inside. But don't forget about Jarvis Jones, a Columbus prospect the Dawgs missed out on in 2009, only to get him back when he announced he was transferring from USC. Jones sat out 2010 due to the NCAA's transfer rules, which gave him plenty of time to fully heal up from the neck injury that keyed his departure from the Trojans.
Outlook. Robinson and Washington performed well enough last year that they can expect to maintain their starting positions on the depth chart in 2011. Beyond that, not much is certain, and while there's tons of raw talent on this roster, there's precious little experience. At least at this point, Ray Drew and Jarvis Jones seem to have the inside line on the other two starting positions, though it's fair to say that this is based more on their lofty reputations as recruits than anything they've done on a college field -- Drew, of course, will be a true freshman, whereas Jones had a promising freshman season at USC but only got seven games under his belt before a neck sprain took him out of commission for the rest of the season. There is massive pressure on both players to perform, particularly Drew, who is angling to become the first freshman Mark Richt has ever started at linebacker -- and having to fill Justin Houston's shoes in the process.
Because of a shaky depth situation across the board, though, Drew might not be the only 2011 recruit to make a strong bid for playing time. Either Amarlo Herrera and Kent Turene, the former a four-star prospect, could earn the job of being Robinson's backup by the time the season starts. At the other inside spot, Richard Samuel has reportedly looked good in practice, but it's important to remember he's never played a down of actual game time at this position (he redshirted last year after being moved over from running back).
Of course, the end positions should see a fair bit of rotation, as defensive coordinator Todd Grantham loves to mix in 4-3 alignments with his standard 3-4 set; Drew, who played defensive end in high school, has already indicated he's excited about playing a potential hybrid LB/DE position for the Dawgs, and fellow '11 DE recruit Sterling Bailey may figure into this mix as well. One thing, though, is clear -- with the unit still adapting to its new roles in Grantham's defense, he and new inside linebackers coach Kirk Olivadotti will need as many warm bodies as they can get.
The Georgia defensive line's first year in Todd Grantham's 3-4 alignment was the dictionary definition of "feast or famine." Against teams with poor rushing attacks, they locked down hard, but found themselves shredded by Florida's spread, Georgia Tech's triple-option and, of course, one-man wrecking crews such as Marcus Lattimore and Cam Newton. Last year, of course, Grantham didn't have quite the personnel mix he needed to make it all come together like clockwork; Dawg fans will be watching closely this spring to see if that's changed.
1. DeAngelo Tyson (6'2", 290), Sr.
2. Derrick Lott (6'4", 295), RSoph.
3. Jeremy Longo (6'3", 255), RJr.
1. Johnathon Jenkins (6'4", 340), Jr.
2. Kwame Geathers (6'6", 325), RSoph.
3. Justin Anderson (6'5", 326), Sr.
1. Abry Jones (6'3", 298), Jr.
2. Garrison Smith (6'3", 282), Soph.
3. Sterling Bailey (6'5", 260), Fr.
Who's coming back. DeAngelo Tyson is probably the most experienced returning player on the entire line, but he'll be making a blessed return to defensive end after a sophomore season spent trying to provide a warm (and large) body at nose tackle. His understudies at nose, Kwame Geathers and Justin Anderson, will remain at that position; his counterpart at the opposite end, Abry Jones, is also a returning starter. Behind them, Derrick Lott, Garrison Smith and Jeremy Longo all saw very limited action in 2010.
Who's not. Tyson's return to end is doubly fortunate with the graduation of two-year starter DeMarcus Dobbs. Kiante Tripp, too, has graduated, making the depth situation at end that much dicier.
Who's new. You know that mountain-sized nose tackle that Grantham's defensive system so desperately needed? Well, it looks like they've found him in Johnathon Jenkins, a Connecticut native who arrives at Georgia by way of Mississippi Gulf Coast Junior College. By virtue of his size and agility, Jenkins probably had the starting nose tackle position locked up the minute he declared for the Dawgs. Georgia only signed two other linemen in the 2011 recruiting class, but one of them, four-star prospect Sterling Bailey, has the speed and athleticism to work his way onto the depth chart as a true freshman. The other, tackle Chris Mayes, has the size to eventually work his way into the rotation but looks to be a bit of a longer-term project.
Outlook. There doesn't figure to be a lot of drama on the defensive line depth chart this season, which surely comes as a huge relief to Grantham and Mark Richt. Not only do they have a returning starter to lock down either end of the line, they finally have the gigantic, run-stuffing presence in the center who can attract double-teams and free the linebacking corps to run wild.
Where things get a little shaky is the depth situation. The understudies at each position -- Lott, Geathers and Smith -- were all highly sought-after recruits, but were only used sparingly last season and notched 17 total tackles between them. If they don't rise to the occasion, that could open up opportunities for Sterling Bailey, but beyond him the roster is basically walk-ons. Overall, this year's crop of D-linemen presents Todd Grantham with a skill set more suited to the 3-4 than last year's did, but let's all cross our fingers and hope that Joe Tereshinski's more stringent strength and conditioning program makes them less vulnerable to injuries as well.
Special-teamers don't often get a lot of attention unless they a) play for Frank Beamer or b) screw up. Fortunately, Georgia hasn't had much of the latter problem the last few years despite a couple of underwhelming records. A bevy of senior talent comes back to take one last crack at helping the Dawgs to an SEC title.
1. Blair Walsh (5'10", 183), Sr.
2. Brandon Bogotay (6'3", 206), Sr.
3. Jamie Lindley (5'11", 173), Sr.
1. Drew Butler (6'2", 201), Sr.
2. Blair Walsh (5'10", 183), Sr.
3. Adam Erickson (5'10", 160), Soph.
1. Brandon Boykin (5'10", 183), Sr.
2. Branden Smith (5'11", 169), Sr.
3. Malcolm Mitchell (6'0", 185), Fr.
4. Justin Scott-Wesley (6'0", 202), Fr.
1. Branden Smith (5'11", 169), Sr.
2. Carlton Thomas (5'7", 170), RJr.
3. Malcolm Mitchell (6'0", 185), Fr.
1. Ty Frix (6'0", 211), RJr.
2. Billy Johnson (6'0", 229), RJr.
Who's coming back. Every leading special-teamer from 2010 is back, headlined by kickoff terror Brandon Boykin, who passed on the NFL for a chance at grabbing the all-time SEC record for KO return touchdowns; punt returner and triple threat Branden Smith; and kicker Blair Walsh and punter Drew Butler, both of whom continue the Dawgs' string of accurate, cannon-legged players at their respective positions. It's anyone's guess as to what's going to happen next year, as all of those players are seniors, but for right now the Dawgs have easily the most potent special-teams arsenal in the SEC, perhaps the nation.
Who's not. A.J. Green's departure is a loss that will be felt in more than just the receiving corps, as he provided a worthwhile change of pace in the punt-return game. So did wide receiver Logan Gray, who, despite his reputation as a fair-catch impresario, was actually second on the team with six punt returns last year. Other than Smith, Bacarri Rambo and Derek Owens are the only returning players who had any punt returns at all in 2010.
Who's new. The Dawgs' heralded 2011 recruiting class was chock full of incredibly athletic players with experience at a number of positions, including special-teams duty. The two who appear most likely to see ST playing time this year are Valdosta's Malcolm Mitchell, who played defensive back in high school but is already being talked about as a receiver candidate at Georgia, and Justin Scott-Wesley, a wideout who declared for Georgia back in May from atop a victory podium not long after setting a new state record in the 100-meter dash. Scott-Wesley is considered a bit raw for the Georgia receiving corps, but his speed is the kind of talent that prompts coaches to try and figure out some way to get him on the field.
Outlook. Spring-practice junkies won't find many juicy depth-chart battles in special teams this year, as Walsh, Butler, Boykin and Smith all have their starting jobs pretty well locked up. The interest will be mainly in where Georgia's blue-chip recruits manage to slot in behind Smith and Boykin. Starting expertise aside, there's not a whole lot of depth at either position, and that could present an opportunity for players like Mitchell, Scott-Wesley, or perhaps even WR recruit Sanford Seay -- another actual track star with a 4.4 40 to his credit -- to get some return opportunities. One other factor is whether Mitchell becomes a figure of importance in the receiving corps; if that happens, the amount of attention devoted to Scott-Wesley for kickoff returns could increase. The general consensus seems to be that he needs to fine-tune his route-running a bit more before he can become a factor at WR, but his speed may be too valuable for Mark Richt to redshirt this season.
Well, Dawg fans, you knew this day would come -- it's time to wish A.J. Green the best of luck in the NFL and begin the difficult task of figuring out how to replace the most dynamic Georgia receiver in generations, perhaps of all time. Here are the players who will be trying on A.J.'s substantial shoes as spring practice begins.
1. Marlon Brown (6'5", 219), Jr.
2. Malcolm Mitchell (6'0", 185), Fr.
3. Rantavious Wooten (5'10", 173), Jr.
4. Israel Troupe (6'1", 215), Sr.
5. Chris Conley (6'3", 180), Fr.
1. Tavarres King (6'1"191,), RJr.
2. Michael Bennett (6'3", 202), RFr.
3. Chris Conley (6'3", 180), Fr.
4. Sanford Seay (6'3", 198), Fr.
1. Orson Charles (6'3", 240), Jr.
2. Aron White (6'4", 236), Sr.
3. Arthur Lynch (6'5", 254), RSoph.
4. Jay Rome (6'5", 255), Fr.
Who's coming back. The top two receivers from last year may be gone, but the next four are coming back -- wideouts Tavarres King and Marlon Brown, along with tight ends Orson Charles and Aron White. Rantavious Wooten and Israel Troupe are back as well, but both practically fell off the map in 2010 after showing some signs of promise in '09. One potential sleeper: Michael Bennett, who wore a redshirt last year but has been spoken very highly of by the coaches.
Who's not. A.J. Green, of course, is gone, but the Dawgs also lose the sure hands of Kris Durham, who graduates this spring. QB-turned-receiver Logan Gray is looking for a transfer destination so that he can get his master's degree. And ex-tight end Bruce Figgins is being moved to fullback, though TE is the one position in the receiving corps that the Dawgs won't have to worry about -- the depth there is quite solid.
Who's new. The Dawgs didn't wait long after A.J.'s draft declaration to begin reeling in a formidable class of wide receivers. As of now, the scuttlebutt says that Malcolm Mitchell -- a four-star WR out of Valdosta for whom Georgia managed to beat Alabama's considerable recruiting efforts -- is the most likely of those recruits to see playing time this fall, though early enrollee Chris Conley has been on campus long enough to observe the Dawgs' offensive system and possibly begin contributing as well. The wild cards are wide receivers Justin Scott-Wesley and Sanford Seay and tight end Jay Rome. Scott-Wesley and Seay both feature track-star speed that could make either one the deep-threat heir apparent to Green, but they'll need to add some muscle first. Rome, like Mitchell, is a four-star Valdosta product who turned down Bama for the Dawgs, but with Georgia already well-stocked at TE, Mark Richt may not be in any hurry to burn a potential redshirt just yet.
Outlook. Tavarres King seems pretty solid at one of the starting spots, and Orson Charles and Aron White should share action at tight end all season. Beyond that, almost nothing is certain. Marlon Brown was a widely heralded recruit when he turned down Lane Kiffin's neon clutches and signed with Georgia in 2009, but his Georgia career right now amounts to 13 catches for 148 yards and a TD over two years. With the other two returning flankers (Wooten and Troupe) being virtual nonentities in 2010, there will be ample opportunity for Malcolm Mitchell, who gives up some size to Brown but could otherwise be every but Green's equal in terms of athleticism, to make a quick climb up the depth chart. Chris Conley will also get some looks, but if Richt starts flirting seriously with the idea of making either Justin Scott-Wesley or Sanford Seay the starter, it probably isn't a good sign.
At the split end position, don't be surprised to see Michael Bennett get some opportunities to make plays out of Mike Bobo's multiple-receiver sets. No worries at tight end, where Orson Charles has established himself well but Aron White has made some big plays as well; the depth Georgia enjoyed at the position last year allowed Bobo to employ some two-TE sets where Charles lined up more or less in the slot, and that trend should continue. Even with Bruce Figgins moving to fullback, the Dawgs' TE depth is such that they can afford to redshirt Jay Rome, but Richt seems to be throwing out some of his preconceived notions about seniority and when to redshirt star recruits. If Rome wows the coaches in spring and summer practice, Richt will find a way to put him on the field in the fall.
Overall, this is a class of receivers that's long on potential but short on definite answers. But if Aaron Murray spreads the ball around as well this year as he did in 2010 -- 19 different receivers caught passes last season, and 10 of them caught at least one touchdown -- there will be no shortage of opportunities for each player to show what they can do.
With nearly all of the major statistical contributors from last year coming back, and Georgia's biggest recruiting grab in years being added to the mix in the form of Isaiah Crowell, the offensive backfield might feature the most intriguing -- and hard-fought -- depth-chart battles Georgia fans will see this spring. Coming off a disappointing showing in 2010, though, seniority is no longer a guarantee of playing time.
1. Isaiah Crowell (5'11", 210), Fr.
2. Washaun Ealey (5'11", 215), Jr.
3. Caleb King (5'11", 217), Sr.
4. Ken Malcome (6'0", 218), RFr.
5. Carlton Thomas (5'7", 170), RJr.
1. Bruce Figgins (6'4", 265), Sr.
2. Alexander Ogletree (5'10", 207), Soph.
3. Dustin Royston (5'11", 232), Soph.
4. Josh Sailors (5'9", 229), Sr.
Who's coming back. Led by last year's top three runners -- Washaun Ealey, Caleb King and Carlton Thomas -- the Dawgs return nearly 90 percent of last year's rushing production. Georgia fans will also recognize the name of Bruce Figgins, though not in the position in which they're accustomed to seeing him. Facing a loaded rotation at tight end but a shaky situation at fullback heading into 2011, the coaches are moving ex-TE Figgins over to FB, where his 6'4", 265-pound bulk could be a huge advantage for the tailbacks running behind him.
Who's not. The reason Figgins' move is so important is because the top two fullbacks over the past few years, Shaun Chapas and Fred Munzenmaier, have both graduated. Both Chapas and Munzenmaier were sure-handed pass-catchers in addition to being strong runners and adept blockers; that do-it-all ability leaves big shoes for Figgins to fill, though as a converted tight end he's certainly got the skill set to do it.
Who's new. Even Georgia fans without the slightest interest in recruiting have no doubt heard of Isaiah Crowell, the five-star Columbus, Ga., running back who represents one of the biggest recruiting coups of the Mark Richt era -- and perhaps his biggest coup at RB, period. Richt had to beat out the nigh-unstoppable Nick Saban recruiting machine at Alabama for Crowell's services, so he knows what a good player he's got, and he's already vowed not to repeat the mistake he made by waiting too long to play Knowshon Moreno. In fact, Richt has already made noises about giving Crowell the first carry in the pivotal 2011 season opener against Boise State.
Outlook. Richt hasn't often been the message-sending type, but a clear (if unofficial) message has been sent to Washaun Ealey and Caleb King: Time to step it up, guys. After a season in which both Ealey and King were inconsistent on the field and frequently in trouble off of it, neither could afford anything less than a sterling offseason, yet it's already begun poorly for both players -- King was academically ineligible for the Liberty Bowl, while Ealey is presently under indefinite suspension for violating team rules.
It might seem overly harsh to declare that the two tailbacks have used up all their goodwill with Richt, but, well, they probably have. And it's not as if Richt needed much additional excuse to tilt the playing-time equation in Isaiah Crowell's favor anyway. Basically, Crowell will go as far this offseason as his determination and work ethic will carry him, and it's not an exaggeration to say that playing time is his to lose -- though the ideal situation from Richt's perspective would be for Ealey and King to have a fire lit under them by Crowell's arrival, work their tails off over spring and summer, and give the Dawgs a diabolical three-headed running attack by the time Boise State's team plane lands in Atlanta.
Things are somewhat less clear at fullback, where the Dawgs are filling a somewhat substantial void. Bruce Figgins' size and experience would tend to favor him as the starter, though coaches have been impressed with Alex Ogletree's athleticism; he'll provide a formidable challenge for the starting job if Figgins struggles with the transition into a new position. Expectations for this position are high, though, as the departures of both of last year's leading FBs, combined with some big question marks on the right side of the offensive line, won't allow much time for learning on the job.
It's not exactly a closely guarded state secret that the offensive line was one of the biggest disappointments of the 2010 season, breaking down in pass protection at a couple critical junctures and failing to pave the way for a dominating running game. For that reason, not a lot of the returning guys can exactly be called "entrenched." Still, with plenty of experience returning, a new position coach, and a no-excuses philosophy in the strength and conditioning program, there's reason to hope they'll play up to their full potential in 2011.

3. Brent Benedict (6'5", 278), Soph.
Who's coming back. If Mark Richt and his coaching staff seem remarkably non-panicky about losing three of last year's O-line starters to graduation, it's because they still have Trinton Sturdivant to rely on for blindside protection. After missing all of the 2008 season and all but a few snaps of 2009 due to knee injuries, Sturdivant appeared in 12 games last year, making seven starts; it's safe to say the coaching staff feels pretty comfortable assigning him to fill the substantial shoes of All-SEC first-teamer Clint Boling. Also returning are center Ben Jones and left guard Cordy Glenn, who started 25 of 26 total games in 2010 (Jones was suspended for the first half of the Colorado game after clipping a Mississippi State player the previous week).
Who's not. Clint Boling, of course, is off to certain riches in the NFL; guard Chris Davis and tackle Josh Davis have graduated and will be crossing their fingers to hear their names called in the draft as well. The line lost some depth when redshirt junior Tanner Strickland, who started three games at left guard last year, announced he was calling an end to his unfortunately injury-plagued career.
Who's new. Ben Harden and Kolton Houston appear poised to step up to starting positions on the right side of the line; coaches are particularly excited about Houston, who was a four-star recruit out of Buford High School and enrolled early at UGA. Overall, Georgia doesn't have quite the line depth it enjoyed last year (though A.J. Harmon can play just about anywhere on the line the coaches need him), but that doesn't mean you should expect to see any of the five linemen from the Dawgs' 2011 recruiting class to take the field anytime soon; even the most highly touted of those recruits, Tarpon Springs, Fla., tackle Zach DeBell, will probably take a redshirt this season while learning the system and adding some muscle mass.
Outlook. You could look at Georgia's crop of O-linemen one of two ways. The glass-half-empty set, of course, sees a new line coach coming in and having to deal with the loss of Boling and two other senior starters from a line that didn't do all that great last year to begin with; the glass-half-full crowd, though, sees fresh blood (and an aggressive new training regimen) potentially molding a talented group of linemen back into something special, i.e. what they were in 2007 and '08.
With Sturdivant, Glenn and Jones presumably retaining their starting spots, there's a solid nucleus of talent to build onto; the coaching staff just has to hope they can get one more good injury-free year out of Sturdivant, as the depth behind him at LT is not spectacular. Barring a major disaster in spring practice, though, don't expect 2011's bumper crop of linemen to figure much into this year's depth chart battles, as Richt's ideal scenario involves all of them getting redshirted while they build up the skills (and bulk) they'll need to command the trenches in the SEC.
With the 2011 recruiting class locked in and all the decisions about early NFL departures finalized, it's time to step back and take a look at what Georgia's got heading into spring practice. We'll go position by position, naming each of the likely contributors and trying to get an early idea of how the depth chart will shake out. Let's start with quarterbacks.

2. Hutson Mason (6'3", 191), Soph.
3. Christian LeMay (6'2", 195), Fr.
Who's coming back. It's weird to think how unsettled Georgia's QB roster looked less than a year ago; since then, Aaron Murray has given Georgia fans one of the most spectacular performances ever by a freshman Bulldog QB, and it's not a stretch to call him the top quarterback in the SEC heading into 2011. Behind him, Hutson Mason had a solid season, throwing a touchdown pass to Logan Gray on the very first attempt of his UGA career.
Who's not. Speaking of Logan Gray, he's decided to transfer to another D-IA school where he can take advantage of a fifth year of eligibility while earning a master's degree. Gray, of course, had been moved to wide receiver long before the 2010 season started, but his departure leaves the Dawgs without an emergency option should Murray and Mason go down. Except for . . .
Who's new. Early enrollee Christian LeMay gives Georgia some needed depth at quarterback, not to mention an additional level of athletic talent. He's in a bit of an unusual situation in that he chose to skip his senior year of high school in North Carolina due to some nebulous disciplinary issues, and while he's been training regularly since then, he hasn't seen any actual game time since the fall of '09.
Outlook. For the first time since 2008, the Dawgs have an entrenched, experienced starter returning at QB. Aaron Murray obliterated all expectations by throwing for 3,049 yards, 24 touchdowns and only eight packs last year as a freshman, and while he won't have A.J. Green to throw to, he didn't have Green either for the first four games of 2010 and still managed to put up decent numbers.
Mason seems like a pretty solid lock to remain the No. 2 quarterback despite the arrival of LeMay on campus. LeMay has the raw talent to make a move on the depth chart in a year's time, but his lack of playing time over the past year, not to mention his need to build up some additional bulk before diving headfirst into the SEC, likely means the coaching staff will do everything they can to keep him safely redshirted for the entirety of the 2011 season.

LONDON, ENGLAND --- There was a soapbox deby race in London Sunday, and in London, they do things a bit differently.
Seventy soapboxes powered only by the force of gravity took on the tricky course in front of 20,000 spectators.
You know it's a different kid of soapbox deby when part of the story is that there were "no serious injuries"
This race includes turns...and ramps...designed to test the drivers and provide maximum thrills for the spectators.
Mac's favorite car is the one towing the waterskiing Queen Elizabeth.
Teams were scored on speed, creativity and showmanship in the event.

Aquarium LightingLighting is one of the most important components of a reef aquarium. The proper lighting intensity is required for corals and/or invertebrates to survive. Similar to plants, corals and many invertebrates require light for photosynthesis to generate energy and food. If your corals and invertebrates do not receive enough light for photosynthesis, they will not survive.

It's "case closed" for a Metro Police officer who was fired from the force last year.
Gregory Capers was booked, put on probation and ordered to undergo anger management after Monday's ruling by a Chatham County Court.
The former sergeant was let go last July after a Savannah woman claimed he came into her home, choked her, grabbed and bruised her face.
She also had bruises and scratches from a violent domestic encounter with Capers months earlier.
He was later charged with two counts of Battery and Disorderly Conduct.

Looking back at Beeching's cuts
Our Transport Correspondent Mike Pearse has been looking back at the region's railways, nearly 50 years on from the announcement by Dr Richard Beeching to close railway lines all over the south.
The Government of the day was desperate to reduce heavy losses being made by the railway - as people flocked to the roads. Beeching, who was from Kent, recommended closing over 2,000 stations and 6,000 miles of track - around a third of the network.
The impact on jobs was massive - 67,000 lost. For passengers, it meany fare rises of ten per cent. This is our first special report.

TELFAIR CO., GA (WTOC) - The woman found floating in the Ocumlgee River in Jacksonville, GA, has been identified.
Telfair County investigators identified the woman as 64-year-old Judy Larue Murrow of Tampa. Deputies say she was shot in the head.
Joshua Helton, of Plant City, FL, has been arrested and charged with her murder. A fisherman found her body face down last week. Murrow's son said the suspect is a friend of his.
"I don't understand how you can be so heartless and ruthless. That's a dirty thing he did. That was a brutal murder. I don't know how you could do that to somebody," said Kenneth Murrow, son of the victim.
Deputies said she has no ties to Telfair County. Helton is in jail at the Hillsborough County Sheriff's Office in Tampa.

NCPR News: Nora Flaherty, Reporter/producer
« first « previous 10 171-180 of 186 stories next 6 » last »
Nora Flaherty got into public radio kind of by mistake--the local public radio station was in the same building as the office of the Anthropology department at the University of Michigan, where Nora was studying to be a professor. But after a few weeks as an intern, she was convinced she'd stumbled into the right place.
Nora became a reporter and on-air host at Michigan Radio, where she did stories on environmental issues, housing, the arts, among other things. Nora moved to New York City in 2005, and became a producer at WFUV. At WFUV, Nora hosted a weekly interview program and reported on the long-term issues faced by September 11th survivors, education, and less serious topics like fairy tales, freak shows and pop music.
A serious dog person, Nora loves hanging out with her "pack" (her husband and their dog), cooking, and driving in foreign countries.

I dig travis' serrated one and Darkstar's designs best. Both are quite cool. I like farns' too but it wouldn't work as a byrd.
A general purpose fixed blade with a good price point would sell extremely well, IMO - it would have to be right nice to compete with the Buck fixed blades and the like, but I believe to be in a good position to do this. similar to a bushcraft with less thrills, or like a Mora with a slightly heftier FFG blade. Instant classic.

hi,i would love to see something paramilitary,thats all.thanks
when your back is against the wall sometimes you have to turn around and fight.
A catcherman-style knife called the Kingfisher?
-Fat TonyI don't get mad. I get..Stabby.
Great idea too! defenestrate!
I just want to pile on to all the other requests for a Byrd version of the Caly3. The Tern is a real favorite for me. Something slightly larger in a lockback would be great. I would prefer it in G10.
What type of locks are available from the chinese factory and what kind of blade shapes are available from the chinese factory?
If we can identify these, it might help us figure out some possibilities.
Would we be able to get a compression lock or reverse S blade in a Byrd model?
Some items that are available, and someone correct me if I'm wrong:
Wharnie, Hawkbill, Leaf, Drop Point
Hollow Grind, Flat Grind, Chisel Grind
Liner Lock, Back Lock, Slipjoint
A distinguished lurker. Waiting on a Squeak, Pingo, and Cliptools with a Split Spring!

A bigger hawkbill model would be excellent.
Maybe a medium sized fixed blade (around 3" ). I also like the idea of a "paramilitary-type" byrd knife.
Getting my on!!!!
I'd also love something with a hawkbill that has either frn or g-10 handle scales and a PE blade
Getting my on!!!!
Last year there was a photo posted briefly on another forum(from the Amsterdam meet) it was then taken down so I guess it was a proto . It a cool looking smaller Byrd knife
it wasnt named but was all metal ss or titanium (framelock?) I guess whith a stubby leaf blade and byrd hole the handles had little machined tornado shapes on them.Any news on this model?

MIKE SMITH, INDIAN FIREWATER, WINNER: "Going into this race, we thought we'd let him run away from there and if we made the lead, fine. When I came out to the paddock, they told me Bob (Baffert) had called an audible, and there was a change in strategy--'Put him on the lead.' Down the backside, he was running easily and he was within himself and breathing really good. I wasn't sure if we won it, because the other horse (Tweebster) was out so wide."
RAFAEL BEJARANO, TWEEBSTER, SECOND: "I was pretty happy with the race. I decided to put him right behind the lead and get him to relax a little bit. When I got to the stretch it was pretty clear and I tried to give him an opportunity but the horse on the lead was pretty comfortable."
JIM BARNES, ASSISTANT TO BOB BAFFERT, INDIAN FIREWATER, WINNER, AND TWEEBSTER, SECOND: "I was just happy to see our two horses coming down the stretch together there. You want them both to win, but . . . That was as close to a dead-heat as you could get. At first I thought Indian Firewater won, then watching the replay I thought maybe the outside horse (Tweebster) because it was it was at a different angle, way to the outside. But we'll take it one-two."
Barnes said Baffert "went on vacation. It's his birthday (58 on Jan. 13). He took a few days off."
NOTES: Winning owners are Mike Pegram of Phoenix, and Karl Watson and Paul Weitman of Tucson.

Desert Rain Maxi Dress

Reviewer: Jonvive S Anguiano (Northridge, CA) 4/8/2014
It's been about 14 years since I have worn a dress. I saw this dress on the Lane Bryant website, but I was pleased to find a KIYONNA store in Anaheim. This dress is great for any size; I ordered a 3x and I normally wear size 22. If you get some spanx and wear it with this dress it will smooth out your extra lovin!! I needed this dress the day of my Aunt's retirement party and I felt and looked fabulous!!! It is long in length so be sure to wear some sexy heels!
Reviewer: Joanna (, NY) 4/8/2014
Great Length and Fit for Tall Ladies!
I was looking for a dress for my mother-in-law's funeral. I originally found this dress on LaneBryant.com, but needed this dress within 2 days; however, their site didn't offer shipping any faster than 4-8 business days. My husband suggested that I google this dress, which I did, and I landed on Kiyonna's website. I located the dress and was extremely excited to see the different shipping options. I NEVER buy anything online, ESPECIALLY a dress without trying it on first. However, I was pleased with the feedback I read in the reviews and decided to order the dress, as I felt this was my only option. I had tried on other maxi's at stores in my area, but they were all WAY too short and didn't have sleeves. I ordered the dress and paid the $45 dollars to have it delivered via next day air by noon. I placed the order at 3pm on Monday and it arrived to my home at 9:30 am the next day! I ordered the black, in a size 3x. I am 6ft tall and typically wear a 22/24. I knew as soon as I opened the box that it was long enough! This dress is simply amazing; it's very true to size and has a BEAUTIFUL length and feel. I cannot express how grateful I am to have found this dress and have it delivered on time for the funeral service. Thank you, Kiyonna! This was my first purchase and will NOT be my last!
Reviewer: Justica Turner (Dallas, Texas) 3/4/2014
My Favorite Dress
I have this dress in several colors and I love to wear in the Spring and Summer. I recommend this style to everyone.
Reviewer: Robin Kassner (New York, NY) 12/21/2013
I love the Desert Rain Maxi!
I love this dress so much that I bought it in black, teal and purple! I would buy more of them if they came in more colors I like, such as hot pink, a pink floral print, black lace, gold lamé, gunmetal metalic or bright turquoise. This dress and the Tiers of Joy dress are my go-to dresses for events where I want to look glam. The v-neck is very flattering and enhances the bust-line. THis Maxi also has a-line shaped and goes in at the tummy so it creates a really great shape. It's pretty long, but I usually wear it with Louboutins, so that's ok. Overall, this is a great dress! Please make it in more colors so I can buy more of them!
Reviewer: goingloopy (Oklahoma City, Oklahoma) 10/11/2013
Cute AND comfy.
This dress is incredibly flattering (especially the raspberry wine color, I don't think it's possible for anyone to look bad in it), so soft without being overly clingy and it's like being able to get away with wearing pajamas in public. I'm 5'9", 4x, not very busty and the length is great. My only beef is that the neckline slips a little, but I have this problem with almost everything. I would love to see this in a deep teal or a subtle print with a contrasting waistband.

We just happen to finish up our project a week ago so your email is timely and I just wanted to say you have great product, it made it so easy to upgrade the look of our theater room project without having to go through too much expense. I was able to reuse our old drop ceiling tiles behind each of your panels to provide additional sound deadening. As you will see on our pictures we painted the ceiling tiles to match the wall color and it was very easy to do with a paint sprayer. I have painted regular ceiling tiles before and it is lots of work. I would definitely recommend your product to others and I would use them again if I have a similar project in the future. Here are some pictures of the project, you can pick the one which you think best shows off your product.

Our Wine of Week, Gracianna 2012 Kiwi's Blend Russian River Valley Sauvignon Blanc ($28), is bright, refreshing and a bit edgy, like a lithe young girl dressed for the Handcar Regatta. There's plenty of flouncy fruit, especially citrus, around the edges, with a tight core - think bustier - of mineral and meadow grass at the heart of the wine. Racy little ribbons of lemongrass and citrus zest enliven each sip and as you enjoy the pleasing finish you might notice a suggestion of jalapeño, a favorite quality that sometimes emerges in this varietal. Hello there! I'm tempted to say.
The wine is a natural with all but the richest seafood. It's not the best match with wild Pacific King salmon, lobster, sardines or mackerel but almost any other fish will be enhanced when the wine is offered alongside. It's equally good with chicken and pork, outstanding with yogurt-based sauces and soups and a perfect companion to many of summer's foods, from fresh basil and cucumbers to corn, green beans, tomatoes and zucchini.
For today's recipe, I'm revisiting a favorite way to enjoy shrimp, a light tostada without the traditional schmear of refried beans. The ingredients are light and bright, like sunlight, with just a hint of heat and luscious avocado cream to tie it all together.
Shrimp Tostadas with Avocado Cream and Sungold Tomatoes
Makes 4 servings
— Avocado Cream (see Note below)
1 1/2 cups Sungold cherry tomatoes, quartered
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 serrano, seeded and minced
— Kosher salt
2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
6 to 8 ounces Oregon baby shrimp
— Juice of 1 lime
1 tablespoons minced red onion
4 corn tortillas, preferably handmade-style, fried or baked until crisp
1/3 cup chopped fresh cilantro leaves
— Generous handful of salad mix or small lettuce leaves
1/4 Armenian cucumber, quartered and cut in thin wedges

The genius of George Orwell
For many, the best things George Orwell ever wrote are his "As I Please" columns for Tribune. Of course "Animal Farm" and "Nineteen Eighty-Four" have had far more readers and influence, and it was the second of these books which gave us the useful adjective "Orwellian", so applicable to that branch of the PR industry which still goes by the name of politics. But these columns remain remarkably fresh and interesting – which is remarkable, because they are journalism, and it is generally accepted that journalism which was once alive becomes very quickly dead. Indeed a few years ago Matthew Parris wrote a piece in The Spectator saying that this was not only the case, but properly the case. How splendid, he said, had been columns written by Bernard Levin thirty or forty years ago, and how dead they were now, because the topics he addressed were usually no longer of any significance or interest, and the manner wasn't enough by itself to please readers today. There may of course be two views about that, and it's possible that there are readers who keep copies of Levin's collected journalism by their bedside, and read themselves to sleep chortling happily with an appreciative smile on their face; possible, but, I fear, unlikely.
Be that as it may, Orwell's columns remain a delight, partly because he wrote so clearly and moved so easily from topics which were grave to others which were light, partly because, though at times he was like all of us silly and even stupid, and his political judgment was erratic, one is always aware of a searching intelligence. Take this, for example – it comes from a column written in March 1944:
Western civilisation, unlike some Oriental civilisations, was founded partly on the belief in individual immortality. If one looks at the Christian religion from the outside, this belief appears far more important than the belief in God. The Western conception of good and evil is very difficult to separate from it. There is little doubt that the modern cult of power worship is bound up with the modern man's feeling that life here and now is the only life there is. If death ends everything, it is much harder to believe that you can be in the right even if you are defeated. Statesmen, nations, theories, causes are judged almost inevitably by the test of material success…
And later: "One cannot have any worthwhile picture of the future unless one realises how much we have lost by the decay of Christianity."
Quite so. I have just been reading a biography of that old rogue, Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat, "the last aristocrat in Britain to be beheaded". "I hope to be in heaven by one o'clock," he said, "or I should not be so merry now." Admittedly there were those who thought Lovat might be due a rather long sojourn in Purgatory, or even consignment to Hell, but very evidently his belief that he would soon be in heaven made the prospect of death less awful. How many have the same certainty today? "Our forefathers," Orwell wrote, "did believe in it" – in, that is, "the individual survival of John Smith, still conscious of himself as John Smith". The disappearance of that certainty, he thought, had consequences which "have not really been faced."
A grave matter indeed, no pun intended, but in these columns Orwell would go straight from such reflection to welcoming "the reappearance of the Cornhill Magazine after its four years' absence," and this led him to remark on "the size and wealth of the Victorian reading public, and the vast sums earned by literary men in those days. The first number of the Cornhill sold 120,000 copies. It paid Trollope £2,000 for a serial – he had demanded £3,000 – and commissioned another from George Eliot at £10,000." (Keen feminists, or at least those of them who know that George Eliot was a woman, will deplore Orwell's careless use of the words "literary men" there; but never mind.)
Journalists doubtless read these "As I Please" columns with envy as well as admiration and pleasure, because it is just the sort of column they would love to be asked to write regularly – if only editors had the sense and imagination to commission them. Never mind. Tribune probably paid Orwell very badly – Left-wing newspapers and magazines are rarely generous – and blogging is an agreeable substitute, offering the wayward freedom of Orwell's "As I Please" columns. If only one could happen on topics of the same enduring interest and write as well as he did… if only.

Polibino. The World's First Hyperboloid Lattice Shell structure (2010)
The World's First Hyperboloid Lattice Shell structure. The Russian engineer and architect Vladimir Shukhov was the first in the world to invent and use in construction hyperboloid towers. For the 1896 All-Russia industrial and art exhibition in Nizhniy Novgorod Shukhov built the steel lattice 37-meter tower, which became the first hyperboloid structure in the world. The astonishing hyperboloid lattice structure caused delight of the European specialists ("The Nijni-Novgorod exhibition: Water tower, room under construction, springing of 91 feet span", "The Engineer" magazine, 1897, № 19.3. - P.292-294). After the exhibition had closed, the openwork tower of rare beauty was bought by the well-known Maecenas of that time Yury Nechaev-Maltsov and placed in his estate Polibino, Lipetsk Oblast, where it has preserved until now under the state protection. In the subsequent years, V.G.Shukhov developed numerous structures of various lattice steel hyperboloids and used them in hundreds water towers, sea lighthouses, masts of warships and supports for power transmission lines. The hyperboloid structures appeared in Spain (Gaudi) and USA (battleship masts) only 10 years after the Shukhov's invention.
Just in case you mistakenly heard that it was all ice and snow in Russia, take a peek at the Big Bikini Exposition. This is right on the river Moskva in Moscow!
Moscow has been the capital of Russia for almost its entire history. The exception is during the period of the Russian Empire, which lasted from 1721 until the Russian Revolution 1917. For these two centuries the capital was St. Petersburg. The Russian Empire was the second largest contiguous Empire in world memory; only the Mongol Empire had been greater.

Although you may not have heard of Sochi, on the Black Sea, they're building up quickly and hope to host the 2014 Olympics.
Other periods of Russian history include the Tsardom of Russia, from Ivan IV to Peter the Great, and the Grand Duchy (14th-16th centuries).
The earliest period of Russian history was ruled by the Novgorod Republic and Kievan Rus, which was the first Russian state dating back to 800AD in Kiev.
Modern Russia remains one of the world's superpowers. They launched the earth's second satellite, called Sputnik 1, and were the first country to put a human being into orbit around earth. (The first one is called the Moon.)
After the breakup of the Soviet Union in 1991, Russia became a federal republic of 83 states.

The first matchday of the 2012-13 Bundesliga season is in the books and what a fantastic first round we had. Whether it was the title favorites playing like champions, clubs not performing as well as they should, or big wins by newly promoted sides, the first weekend had something for everyone.
Oh. It had everything except scoreless draws. We don't do that in the Bundesliga.
The new guys sure know how to score
The transfer market has always been away for clubs to strengthen their side, but this summer looks like it was goalfest for the Bundesliga clubs. There were 22 goals scored in the Bundesliga this weekend, and players at new clubs scored 11 of them. Without looking up the stats for Europe's other major leagues, I'm thinking that this percentage is quite high.
The highlight of these goals must be Bas Dost's last minute goal in Wolfsburg's big win over Stuttgart at the Mercedes Benz Arena. Dost made the estimate €9 million move from Heerenveen to Wolfsburg, and it was believed that Magath's side got a steal at that price. If we judge forwards on goals, then Dost looks like he's going to be a great signing. He already has two goals in two matches, and Magath's rebuilt Wolfsburg side looks like they'll be quite good this season.
Nice debut, kid
Dani Schahin has spent his entire career in the lower divisions of German football. The 23 year old began his professional career with the Hamburg reserves before moving on to second division side Greuther Fürth in the 2.Bundesliga (including a six month loan to Dynamo Dresden in the 3.Liga).
While both clubs were promoted, Schahin left Fürth this summer for Fortuna Düsseldorf, and the playoff winners must have seen something that Fürth didn't. Schahin came on as a second half substitute in the 60th minute, and he made every second of those thirty minutes count. Just eight minutes after coming on the pitch, Schahin unleashed a rocket into the far corner that the goalkeeper had no shot at saving. He got his brace in the 79th minute with another great shot into the back of the net.
Fortuna may end up on the relegation heap at the end of the season, but for one day Dani Schahin brought joy to an entire city that has waited fifteen long years to be back in the Bundesliga.
The Marco and Mario is going to be fun to watch
When Borussia Dortmund beat Bayern Munich to the signature of Marco Reus last January, we weren't quite sure at the time what BVB team Reus would be joining. Luckily for those of us that like to be entertained, Shinji Kagawa was the only player to leave the club over the summer.
Reus quickly opened his Bundesliga account with BVB in Friday night's fixture against Werder Bremen. In the moment that separates average players from great palyers, Reus took a shot at the exact perfect moment and watched the ball trickle inside the far post as a helpless Sebastian Mielitz watched.
Mario Götze is still recovering to full fitness after a summer featuring the European Championship and a bout with conjunctivitis. He didn't start on Friday, but he made sure his 12 minutes of time were important. His impact was felt after only two minutes. Götze slipped through the backline behind Werder centerback Sebastian Prödl, received a pass from Jakub Blaszczykowski, muscled his way through Theodor Gebre Selassie, and put his shot past Mielitz for the winner.
As a fan of the Bundesliga and entertainment, I cannot wait until both players are on the pitch from the beginning for BVB. It won't be too long before Marco Reus and Mario Götze are creating some beautiful football together.
Lewis Holtby is pretty good
With Raul's departure to a league in the desert, there were concerns in Gelsenkirchen over what player would fill the role left by the Spanish legend. With Klaas Jan Huntelaar winning the golden boot last year, Schalke were looking for someone to fill the playmaker role that suited Raul so well.
Schalke were goalless after halftime against Hannover on Sunday afternoon, but they soon remembered that this Lewis Holtby guy is pretty good. Assisting on Huntelaar's goal before scoring one of his own (with his head!), Holtby was the central force behind Schalke's second half comeback.
The 21 year old demonstrated that he is willing to take on the role vacated by the Spanish trequartista, and I think he's ready for the responsibilities.
Arjen Robben looked -- and more importantly played -- happy
Last season was a miserable one for Arjen Robben and Bayern Munich. The club finished in second played in the Bundesliga, DFB Pokal, and Champions League. Robben played only half the season due to injury, missed a crucial penalty in what was basically the title decider against Borussia Dortmund, and allegedly refused to take a penalty in the Champions League Final shootout. Then, the Dutch had that catastrophe of a performance at Euro 2012.
The only thing left for Robben to do is put last season behind him and move on to bigger and better things this season. If you're to take anything away from Robben's performance against Greuther Fürth on Saturday, take the fact that Robben was running at the defense and trying to make something happen every time that he received the ball.
Of course, Bayern won't be competing with Fürth for any silverware this season. The club, and Robben, have bigger demons to exorcise that will only be accomplished by winning trophies.
