Baseball Primer Newsblog — The Best News Links from the Baseball Newsstand Friday, September 14, 2012Nationals Manager Davey Johnson: Citi Field 'Like A Morgue'Phantom of the Hu Morgue. Reader Comments and RetortsStatements posted here are those of our readers and do not represent the BaseballThinkFactory. Names are provided by the poster and are not verified.

Davey is feelin' it. No question but that he's having a little fun twisting the knife at this point.
2. Joey B.
Posted: September 14, 2012 at 11:29 AM (#4235732)After sweeping the Mets in Citifield, it's amusing to realize that there's a remote possibility that the Nats' road through the postseason could go directly through all the OTHER teams that Johnson used to manage: the Dodgers for the NLDS, the Reds for the NLCS, and the Orioles (ha!) for the World Series. It's not going to happen, obviously, but man...that would be hilarious.
Eh, it's one thing for us fanboys to talk trash on the net, but if I were Davey I would just let sleeping dogs lie. The repeated on-field ass kickings this year were more than enough of a message. Plus, I imagine that a lot of older Mets fans probably still have positive feelings for him, so I'm not sure why he would risk tampering with that legacy.

Davey Johnson does not strike me as the type to be particularly concerned about politeness or his legacy.
4. Esoteric
Posted: September 14, 2012 at 11:41 AM (#4235755)I snorted at the headline, because I live in DC and my girlfriend and I have been to a few dozen games at Nats Field. We went to one at Citi and she was amazed at how much more energy there was at Citi, to the point of flipping her opinion of the Mets. (I've always been a Mutts fan). But then it was hispanic heritage night, which was awesome, and she hasn't been to any newjack Nats games. But then it was hispanic heritage night, which was awesome, and she hasn't been to any newjack Nats games.Nats park has been pretty hoppin' recently. It's not hard to see what Davey's referring to. The only series I can think of where the energy (and attendance) level was less than electric were the recent Cubs and Marlins series...understandably enough.

Posted: September 14, 2012 at 11:51 AM (#4235769)Since you live here, you obviously know that D.C. just isn't a true baseball town in the way that New York is. But you also know that people here can (and will) jump on board a bandwagon with the best of them anywhere, and that we're just days away from many thousands of new "fans" buying their ticket to hop on board the playoff train.
I don't think he's referring to some intrinsic awfulness of Mets fans, or some intrinsic greatness of Nats fans; I think he's just talking about it being an odd experience for him to have experienced Shea at its best, and now to see Citi at its worst. Meanwhile, Nationals Park hasn't exactly been an amazing atmosphere before this year, but the games this year have really had some great vibes in the air. Sure, there's some bandwagon flavor to it, but there has to be a bandwagon rolling at some point for a fledgling franchise before it turns into a great fanbase. I can tell you that you'll see an awful lot of kids in Nats hats that don't really care about whether their parents are "real fans".
7. Never Give an Inge (Dave)
Posted: September 14, 2012 at 11:59 AM (#4235780)I was at the game Wednesday night and he's right. Seemed like the place was practically empty.
You know, it's weird that we call near-empty stadiums morgues. It's not like you ever hear a jam-packed stadium be called a "Delivery Wing" or something.
9. charityslave is thinking about baseball
Posted: September 14, 2012 at 12:22 PM (#4235811)*ba-dum-dum* a jam-packed stadium be called a "Delivery Wing" or something. I spend a lot of time on OB wards, and I have to say, that analogy is apt. Lots of screaming, crying and cheering. And I guess being sprayed with amniotic fluid (which has happened to me on occasion) is kind of like a Gatorade shower?

Davey was managing the Mets back when I still got bathed by my parents. They used to tell me when they were about to dunk me to get the shampoo out of my hair that I was going to Davey Jones's locker- I always misinterpreted that as going to Davey Johnson's locker. I was cool with that, I loved the Mets! I made them tape all the playoff games from 1986 when I was 4 so that I could watch them the next day! Who wouldn't want to go to the manager's locker?!
18. Flynn
Posted: September 14, 2012 at 03:04 PM (#4236009)
Did you keep those? I still have my dad's tape of Super Bowl XXIV (Niners 55, Broncos 10). Still plays perfectly too.
19. Gamingboy
Posted: September 14, 2012 at 03:29 PM (#4236037)
God, I love BBTF.
If the Nationals can finish 11-8 or better, they will top the 1933 Senators for most wins by a Washington MLB franchise. Most wins ever. Given the Senators (both versions) generally lousy performance, that might be setting a low bar, but it is quite a break from the past. Probably still too soon to start talking about Mike Rizzo's Hall of Fame candidacy?

Posted: September 14, 2012 at 08:19 PM (#4236246)Oh, how the lowly have risen! I believe that there are hedge funds out there that can consistently beat the market, and I don't think it's impossible to identify them. The problem is that there are a lot more hedge funds out there than there should be, and many of them do not offer anything differentiated, and they manage a lot more money than they should.

I worked at CommNet International full-time
ProsSeveral quality IT Technical people within CommNet
For the most part, CommNet was responsive to their client base regarding tech support issues
Training was decent but could have been more consistent and ongoing.ConsFor the most part, communications between Manager and employees working for the Manager were poor. The main reason was that most decisions were made by The President carried out with very little or no discussion with the affected employees.
Key Promises made by management to employees were not always instituted.

- Work/Life Balance
- Senior Management
- Career Opportunities
I have been working at CommNet International
ProsThe working conditions were drastically improved compared to my last job. I worked in a paper mill prior to this position and the noise and heat were unbearable. I did gain some experience in how re-sellers do business and gained some knowledge from a technical standpoint. I was involved in shipping, receiving, return merchandise authorization, sales, customer support and inventory control. I was also involved in reconciliation for any shipping, receiving and sales issues that occured. Dealing with all these aspects of the position allowed me to transfer those skills to future employment opportunities. The compensation and benefits, as well as the salary were all comparable at the time.
ConsThe career opportunities were very limited within the organization. A position would have to be eliminated before any movement would occur. Communication was very one sided as it seemed the focus was on voicing the negatives instead of accentuating the positives. Employee morale was mixed as many of the employees talked about each other, which usually occurs in a small work environment. Although it was a small company of about 15 people, there were cliques throughout. I felt left out or not part of the group during my tenure. As mentioned before the recognition and feedback seemed to be focused on the negative. This is what lead to the other low ratings toward this organizaton.
Advice to ManagementAdviceSenior Management at CommNet and all other types of businesses should realize that they are nowhere without their employees.

Since its opening on the Place Vendome in Paris in 1906, Van Cleef & Arpels has played a leading role in style and design innovation. Its timeless pieces have been worn by style icons, including the Duchess of Windsor, Grace Kelly, and Elizabeth Taylor. This exhibition explores the historical significance of the firm's contributions to jewelry design in the 20th century, including the establishment of Van Cleef & Arpels in New York with the advent of World War II. On view are more than 350 works, including jewels, timepieces, fashion accessories, and objects d'art by Van Cleef & Arpels, many of which were created exclusively for the American market. The exhibition examines the work through the lenses of innovation, transformation, nature as inspiration, exoticism, fashion, and celebrity and includes design drawings from the Van Cleef & Arpels archives.

Motion quotient: IQ predicted by ability to filter visual motion. May 23, 2013 — A brief visual task can predict IQ, according to a new study.
This surprisingly simple exercise measures the brain's unconscious ability to filter out visual movement. The study shows that individuals whose brains are better at automatically suppressing background motion perform better on standard measures of intelligence. The test is the first purely sensory assessment to be strongly correlated with IQ and may provide a non-verbal and culturally unbiased tool for scientists seeking to understand neural processes associated with general intelligence. "Because intelligence is such a broad construct, you can't really track it back to one part of the brain," says Duje Tadin, a senior author on the study and an assistant professor of brain and cognitive sciences at the University of Rochester.
"But since this task is so simple and so closely linked to IQ, it may give us clues about what makes a brain more efficient, and, consequently, more intelligent. " Test yourself: Thinking Cap. Alternatives: An alternative to finding electrodes and doing all the amplification DIY-style, it's now possible to purchase a single channel off-the-shelf headset from Neurosky which sends the raw EEG via bluetooth.
In addition to potentially being easier to set up and using dry electrodes, this system also ensures user safety by removing the user from any possible shock hazards associated with being attached to wall power. The major drawback is that it has only a single channel, but maybe this will improve in the next version.
Emotiv has a headset with many channels, but they are currently not as DIY friendly due to the fact they will not allow users access to raw EEG data, but only to their processed data. Maybe we need some pressure from the DIY community here or someone to reverse engineer their processor. Your Brain. David L.
Goldin, J.D., M.B.A. © 2013 Late in his career, Francis Crick, the Nobel laureate who was one of the co-discoverers of the molecular structure of DNA, announced what he called his "astonishing hypothesis" of the brain and mind: "You, your joys and your sorrows, your memories and your ambitions, your sense of personal identity and free will, are in fact no more than the behavior of a vast assembly of nerve cells and their associated molecules. " Others have since commented on Dr. Crick's hypothesis, some of whom, such as the evolutionary biologist Edwin O.

Complexity and Entropy: Human Creativity vs the Heat Death of the Universe. Complexity and Entropy: (This is Ch 13 of "The Retroactive Universe") Human Creativity vs. the Heat Death of the Universe Entropy, Complexity and Life According to one of the most basic laws of physics, known as "the second law of thermodynamics", the amount of disorder - or "entropy" - in the universe is constantly increasing.
However, this does not mean that order or organization or complexity cannot increase anywhere in the universe - it can, but only at the expense of a yet greater net increase in disorder in the universe as a whole. Thus the net entropy of the universe as a whole always increases, even for processes which cause a local increase of order and complexity. This means that the entropy of the universe was at a minimum at the big bang, and has increased since then. Guided by gravitational attraction, planets are formed from chaotic combinations of gases, so that the resulting planet has a much more complex structure than the material it was formed from. The Human Brain. Fun Facts About Neurons. Here are some interesting statistics* about neurons in humans and other animals (remember that these are averages because there is a lot of variability in the nervous system!)
: Average number of neurons in the human brain = 100 billionAverage number of neurons in the octopus brain = 300 millionRate of neuron growth during fetal development in utero = 250,000 neurons/minuteDiameter of a neuron = 4 to 100 micronsLength of giraffe primary afferent axon (from neck to toe) = 15 feetVelocity of signal transmitted through a neuron = 1.2 to 250 miles/hourThere are as many neurons in the human brain as stars in the Milky WayThe number of ways information travels in the human brain is greater than the number of stars in the universe What if we lined up all the neurons in our body? How long would that line stretch? Let's assume that one neuron is about 10 microns long. 100,000,000,000 neurons x 10 microns = 1,000 km or about 600 miles!

What instrument do they use and how is this calculation done. I have also heard that the amount of brain cells and the amount of stars in the universe are around the same number. Can you shed some light on how this is known. Regards, Sunil H Mahabir Answer: Hello, I'll be basing my answer mostly on the classical book by my professor in the Neuroanatomy class Dr Glezer, "The Human Brain in Figures and Tables. The calculation you are asking about takes into account: Diameter of neuron is 4 to 100 micronsBrain weight is 1,300 – 1,400 gBrain width x length x height = 140x167x93 cmThere are so called glial cells in the brain, the number of which is up to 50 times the number of neurons. Now, about the Universe according to Encyclopedia Britannica, Astronomy (2000) Hope it helps, Tanya Zilberter.
The Amen Clinics. Your brain is involved with everything you do. How you think, how you feel, how you act, and how well you get along with other people has to do with the moment-by-moment functioning of your brain. After looking at thousands and thousands of brain scans I have come to realize that how your brain functions influences the kind of therapist you are, the effectiveness of your mothering skill and how well you do in business. Are you the kind of therapist that is on time, listens, and is generally helpful? Likely, your frontal lobes work right. Or, are you the type of therapist that is often late, interrupts clients, and has trouble completing reports in a timely fashion. When the brain works right, you work right. The brain is the most complicated organ in the universe. If you believe the first three principles, this next one is critical and often the undiagnosed cause of many "psychiatric" problems.
Certain parts of the brain tend to do certain things. THE BRAIN CAN CHANGE. More brain connections than stars in the universe? No, not even close. « The Neural Spark. Our observable universe is huge.
Make that really huge. So if you have ever read that our brain connections outnumber the stars in the universe (perhaps here or from this book), I hope you frowned in skepticism. Cosmic Microwave Background map of the universe Here are the real numbers: Neurons (rough overestimate for adults): 10^11, or 100 billion Synapses (based on 1000 per neuron estimate): 10^14, or 100 trillion Stars (estimate for observable universe): 7 x 10^22; that's 70 sextillion!
For every brain synapse ("connection") we have, there are (at least) 700 million (700,000,000) stars somewhere out there. How could confusion arise on such a whopping difference? The number of synapses in the human brain is larger than the number of galaxies in the observable universe. The core of the Milky Way. Let me clarify that the brain is a magnificent organ no matter how you spin the numbers. Like this: Like Loading... The New York Times > Science > Image > Graphic: Separated at Birth?

Surfdaddy Orca March 30, 2010 The memristor — the so-called "missing link of electronics" memory technology that can change its resistance in varying levels — has been around on paper for nearly 40 years.
However it wasn't until 2010 that a group at the University of Michigan led by Dr. Wei Lu demonstrated that it can be used to build brain-like computers in a paper just published in Nano Letters. New Scientist reports that "memristors can behave uncannily like the junctions between neurons in the brain." The discovery of the memristor derives from the search for a rigorous mathematical foundation for electronics by a young electronics engineer at the University of California, Berkeley, Leon O. In 1976, Chua and Sung-Mo Kang published another paper describing a large class of devices and systems they called "memristive devices and systems."
As flexible chips that retain their memory when turned off, clearly memristors could soon have a big impact on the electronics marketplace. Neuron Connectivity.

For example, a single sensory neuron from your fingertip has an axon that extends the length of your arm, while neurons within the brain may extend only a few millimeters. They also have different shapes depending on their functions. Motor neurons that control muscle contractions have a cell body on one end, a long axon in the middle and dendrites on the other end.
Sensory neurons have dendrites on both ends, connected by a long axon with a cell body in the middle. Interneurons, or associative neurons, carry information between motor and sensory neurons. These fundamental members of the nervous system also vary with respect to their functions. Sensory neurons carry signals from the outer parts of your body (periphery) into the central nervous system.Motor neurons (motoneurons) carry signals from the central nervous system to the outer parts (muscles, skin, glands) of your body.Interneurons connect various neurons within the brain and spinal cord. Neuroplasticity Terms. Illustration of neurons firing Neuron - A neuron is the functioning cell unit in the nervous system that is also known as a nerve cell. Neurons are responsible for sending impulse messages to other neural cells. Impulse messages in a neuron are sent via the release of neurotransmitters.
The neuron's cell body is called the soma. The neuron cell consists of 3 main sections a soma, axon, dendrite. Dendrite - Is the tree branch like structure connected to the nerve cell body (soma) that sends and receives information between cells. Axon - Is the lengthy thin straight structure that is part of the neuron body (soma) that conducts nerve impulses away from the cell body to the neuron's terminal buttons.

BANGKOK (AP) — Oil was little changed near $94 a barrel Friday despite a pickup in China's trade as investors awaited a U.S. jobs report.
Benchmark crude for December delivery was up 20 cents at $94.40 a barrel at early afternoon Bangkok time in electronic trading on the New York Mercantile Exchange. The contract fell 60 cents to $94.20 on Thursday after the dollar rose on an unexpected European Central Bank rate cut and OPEC forecast rising oil supplies in coming years.
A possible sign that demand for oil could increase came from China where October trade data showed growth in overall imports accelerating.
But the broader backdrop of ample supplies and muted demand, which has driven a monthlong slide in the oil price, continues to prevail.
A report on U.S. hiring for October due later Friday is expected to show employment growing a modest pace.
Brent crude, the international benchmark for oil, was down 35 cents at $103.11 a barrel on the ICE exchange in London.

Lavoy Allen Is Better As A Defensive Stopper
Lavoy Allen was a great player in college, but he is barely making noise in the NBA. Part of the problem is his role.
Philadelphia 76ers coach Brett Brown and former coach Doug Collins look at Allen as an interior player on both ends of the floor, however, he's more comfortable being a rebounder and shot-blocker. This is what made Allen such an effective player at Temple University.
Allen's role has been limited. Brown uses Allen more as a last resort on offense, forcing him to settle for jumpers rather than utilize his size in the paint. He can knock down the jumpers occasionally, but his post game is better.
Brown needs to allow Allen to play freely as a center as opposed to a small forward where he is forced to settle for jumpers and as a passer.
At Temple, Allen averaged a double-double his senior season where he averaged 11.5 points, 10.7 rebounds and 1.4 blocks per game. He was never a high scorer, but more of rebounder.
He's averaging 5.1 points and 5.5 rebounds this season, and that includes a 10-rebound game against the Charlotte Bobcats Friday night. While Allen's stats don't seem like much this year, he can produce some big numbers like what he posted against the Bobcats.
The 6-foot-9 forward/center had a couple good games, but the most impressive is in the close loss to the NBA best Indiana Pacers. Allen held his own against the 7-foot-2 oversized center Roy Hibbert. Allen scored four points, but pulled down nine rebounds, had a steal and two blocks while being limited due to foul trouble.
Allen will be a free agent in the summer, so he will need to improve his post game and work on his defensive positioning if he is to remain in the NBA, but his coach could help him out.

Parker leaves with ankle sprain
SAN ANTONIO -- Spurs guard Tony Parker was helped to the locker room in San Antonio's 105-90 win over the Atlanta Hawks after spraining his left ankle Wednesday night.
Parker tumbled to the baseline after a hard drive to the basket in the third quarter, and immediately began writhing on the ground. Television replays showed Parker awkwardly plant his foot during the drive.
The Spurs said X-rays were negative and Parker did not return to the game. They will likely know more Thursday about when Parker will be ready to play.
"We're going to have to adjust to it," said Tim Duncan, who grabbed a career-high 27 rebounds and scored 21 points in the win. "We're trying to get something going here and then we lose Tony. We'll find a way to get it done."
Parker missed several games earlier this season after spraining his left ankle Nov. 6. He has also been struggling with plantar fasciitis in the same foot all season.
Parker is the second-leading scorer for the Spurs, averaging 17.1 points.

It's a sad story, but hopefully now it is over.
Jayson Williams was an NBA All-Star who seemed poised to have a good career post-playing in the broadcast booth. But that all came crashing down hard 10 years ago when a shotgun Williams was holding in his home discharged and killed his driver, Costas "Gus" Christofi.
Williams was sentenced to five years for that crime (serving 18 months) plus more time for a driving under the influence charge, but he was let out of a New Jersey prison Friday, reports the Star-Ledger.
"I am eager to see my daughters, my mother and siblings and make amends for what they've been through," Williams told The Associated Press through his manager. "Start my life over with God being first and in the center of everything I do."
Williams was a standout player at St. John's who was one of the better rebounding big men in the game in the 1990s. He was a 1998 All-Star, but in 1999 a collision with teammate Stephon Marbury left his Williams' leg shattered and he never played in another NBA game.
He went into the broadcast booth and was a rising star there until the incident where his driver was killed. Williams was found guilty by a jury of trying to cover up the shooting but they could not reach agreement on manslaughter charges. Williams reached a plea that had him spend 18 months in jail. When out, the DUI violated his parole and sent him back to prison for 8 months.
Hopefully now he can put everything behind him and move on with his life.

DEFINITION of 'Attornment'
The act of granting authority or jurisdiction to a party even though no legal rights exist. Attornment most commonly relates to laws regulating real property and is designed to acknowledge the relationship between the parties in a transaction.
INVESTOPEDIA EXPLAINS 'Attornment'
For example, attornment may occur when a tenant leases an apartment only to have the owner change during the course of the lease. The attornment agreement does not create a new set of rights for the owner unless it is signed by the tenant. If the tenant refuses to sign, the landlord may be able to use this as grounds for eviction.

His kiss has left her flushed and disconcerted - perhaps men are best avoided after all! The Earl of Tredair has had his fill of balls, routs, and silly misses, and he despairs of finding anyone out of the ordinary - that is, until he meets Miss Fanny Waverley. Most unique and intriguing, she and her two sisters are the adopted daughters of the reclusive bluestocking Madame Waverley. They have been raised as her disciples to spread the word of women's rights and to encourage poor oppressed females to stand up against the iniquities of the male sex. The beautiful Miss Fanny, however, finds it quite hard to think of all men as cruel and lustful beasts - how can she, when now she finds herself longing to kiss one of the most hated of the species!

Bold Twins Predictions for 2012

Jim Bowden recently posted an article at ESPN with his bold predictions for 2012. Among them was that he thought the Twins would trade Justin Morneau. I quite frankly do not see any scenerio in which that would happen (if he is healthy and performing, they need him to compete and could not get equal value in return. If he is hurt, nobody would touch him). But it does create an interesting discussion topic. Here are my bold predictions for the year:
- Scott Baker will make less than 10 starts for the Twins, but they will pick up his option for 2013.
- Matt Capps will save less than 10 games for the Twins.
- Joe Mauer will catch over 135 games and bat .330.
- In spite of an inconsistent rotation and subpar defense, this team will win at least 81 games.
Let's hear what you all think.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 03:28 PM
I can see a scenario where Morneau gets traded this year. If he is healthy and producing he instantly becomes one of the highest value players on the roster. With Parmelee ready to take over @ 1B, Morneau becomes tradeable. We need starting pitching for next year (Blackburn the only one under contract for 2013), and Morneau would be more than a 6th month rental and his $14M salary for 2013 is very reasonable for his production when healthy.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 03:43 PM
Here is a few predictions...
~ Plouffe will surprise some with around 20HR's. Hitting between .250 -.265, while being an effective utility guy jumping between the IF & OF
~ Morneau wins comeback player of the year hitting Upper 20 HR's while batting close to .300
~ Mauer has comparable year to 07, 08 & 10 Season
~ Liriano wins 15 games (11 as a Twin)
Posted 29 March 2012 - 03:58 PM
Twins win the World Series.. More realistically though, Parmelee preforms well, and Pavano gets traded.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 04:02 PM
Much improved, but fighting for second place in July. Revere, Span, Liriano and Hughes have a big first half, and Nishioka and Liam Hendriks tear up AAA. Liriano gets traded for a RF veteran, Span gets traded for a power arm prospect. Plouffe hits big, but can't field well enough to start, and is traded with Butera and a AAA pitcher for a young, fast, high-defense SS. Carroll gets hurt, Nishi gets brought up, Hendricks replaces Liriano in the lineup.
By August, our regular starting lineup is C-Mauer, 1B- Parmalee/Hughes Platoon, 2B Nishi, SS New Guy, 3B Valencia, RF New Guy, CF Revere, LF Willingham, DH Morneau, bench: Casilla, Doumit, Tosoni, Burroughs.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 05:16 PM
The entire team stays healthy throughout the first half. Terry Ryan becomes so frustrated with the fact that he has nothing to say to the media that he decides to trade Denard Span. Twins Territory goes into meltdown because Span, a 2012 all star, is traded for a closer because Matt Capps blows multiple save opportunities and Glenn Perkins is relegated to mopup duty after eating so many twinkies (hey, he's got to find ways to spend all that money) that he gains 50 pounds and loses form on his delivery.
Danny Valencia, our other 2012 all star, becomes officially adopted by Gardenhire and the new official poster boy for, "we just play the game the right way".
Finally, Liriano's first half is SO good and the team has SO much $$$ going forward with other contracts coming off the books that the Twins sign him to a 5 year extension for$80 million.
Edited by silverslugger, 29 March 2012 - 05:25 PM.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 07:40 PM
I'm betting we don't see Dozier at the major league level until September. If the Twins are sucking and Carroll and Casilla go down, it makes more sense to bring Nishi or one of the other "AAAA" guys up, rather than start Dozier's service time on a bottom dwelling team. If they are hot and Carroll and Casilla go down, it would make more sense to swing a trade and bring a solid defender like Punto to plug the gap, rather than trust a rookie with no big league experience to hold down such a critical position.
Basically, I think it hinges on the idea that a hot young kid at SS isn't going to win us many of games by himself, but an overwhelmed rookie who isn't quite ready for The Show could easily lose us a number of games at SS.
Posted 29 March 2012 - 07:56 PM
OK - I'll play - Here's mine:
- Morneau appears in less than 30 games,
- Twins win 80 games,
- Nishi "disappears" and is never again seen in the bigs,
- Perkins start his role as closer in mid May,
- Mauer hits 27 homers, - all of them in the 2012 season!
- Gardy is sidelined by a health issue

Knoxville, TN (Sports Network) - Kentavious Caldwell-Pope scored 20 points to lift the Georgia Bulldogs to a 68-62 win over the Tennessee Volunteers in an SEC tilt at Thompson-Boling Arena.
Kenny Gaines hit 5-of-7 from the floor for 12 points off the bench for Georgia (11-11, 5-4 SEC) which won its fourth straight contest. Vincent Williams added 10 points while not a single Bulldog had more than three rebounds.
Jordan McRae scored 17 points to pace Tennessee (11-10, 3-6) while Jarnell Stokes contributed a double-double with 16 points and 11 boards.
Four different Bulldogs registered baskets during an early 8-2 run to start off the game for Georgia. The visitors made 7-of-13 shots from behind the arc in the first half and after forcing 11 Tennessee turnovers, led 35-26, at intermission.
The Volunteers managed to tie the score on a McRae three-point play with 13:28 left in the game, but they would do no better than that as Georgia responded with momentum-building 9-0 run. Five straight points by Caldwell-Pope late sealed the road win for the Bulldogs.
Georgia shot 55 percent from behind the arc on the way to its third consecutive road win.

New York, Aug 22 (IBNS): The United Nations peacekeeping mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has stepped up patrols and is sending in helicopters to protect civilians in the eastern part of the country following continued clashes between armed groups.
The UN Stabilisation Mission in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (MONUSCO) has also activated its contingency plan in the area, a UN spokesperson told journalists in here.
"Its peacekeepers are providing security to 1,000 civilians in and around its base," the spokesperson said.
Combatants from four armed groups exchanged fire near its base in Pinga, North Kivu province, on Monday, according to MONUSCO. Three mortar bombs landed near the base.
This latest bout of violence came as Martin Kobler visited North Kivu for the first time as the new Special Representative of the Secretary-General in the country during which he pledged to do everything in my power to address the armed groups' issue in the Kivus and in the rest of the eastern DRC.
Over the past year, the M23, along with other armed groups, have clashed repeatedly with the national forces (FARDC) in the eastern DRC. The rebels briefly occupied Goma in November 2012. The fighting resumed in recent weeks, this time dragging in a group of Ugandan-based rebels, and displaced more than 100,000 people, exacerbating the region's ongoing humanitarian crisis, which includes 2.6 million internally displaced people (IDPs) and 6.4 million in need of food and emergency aid.

Reuters brings word that Sony has officially announced the 40GB Playstation 3 for North America, with the new SKU going on sale November 2. The 40GB PS3 will cost $400 USD and, as in Japan and Europe, will no longer feature backwards compatibility.
Also announced is a price drop for the 80GB PS3, bringing it down to $500 USD from $600.
Sony Computer Entertainment of America president Jack Tretton tells Reuters that they hope to continue focusing on the strong PS2 software market with the PS2 alone, and that backwards compatibility is a "secondary consideration" and not a "number-one priority" for the Playstation 3 (at least not anymore).
