Uncertainty surrounding Felton bothering Georgia
Players having trouble concentrating with coach’s job status up in the air
The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Athens — As for bleak outlooks, they couldn’t get much more dreary than the one Georgia brings into the Georgia Dome for Thursday’s game against Ole Miss in the first round of the SEC Tournament.
The Bulldogs (13-16, 4-12 SEC) limp in as the last-place team in the East dragging one of the worst records in the league. Losers of 11 of their last 13 games, they’ll be facing an Ole Miss team that just beat them by 14 points on their home court five days ago. They’ll play the last game of the day, one that is scheduled for a 9:45 p.m. start but is more likely to tip around 10:15. A barren arena surely awaits.
In the meantime, a cloud of uncertainty hangs over the entire program. The fate of coach Dennis Felton is being openly debated to the point that he has felt compelled to defend his work, which he did after the regular-season finale last Saturday and again Wednesday at the Georgia Dome.
“As far as I know I’m certain about my future,” Felton told reporters gathered around him after the formal tournament press conference. “I haven’t been told anything about anything I need to do to remain coach at Georgia. I expect to be Georgia’s coach for a long time.”

A trade war isn’t an actual war.

Well what we’d need now would be an economist to tell us how much worker rights the EU can afford to require for foreign products and still retain the positive effects of globalization. I think that answer would basically determine our position on the issue.Don’t you feel like a hypocrite when you remember how much blood is on the things you buy? Because it certainly troubles me.

If Bush declared that he wanted such a thing, would you trust him or would you rather start looking for a pile of bodies somewhere?Heck, I can’t believe that people are falling for this trap. “We americans suck! European politicians are so kind and nice and they really do care about the environment”. Yeah, of course… It has nothing to do with the fact that Sarkozy has nuclear power plants to sell or that he would find an “eco-tax” very useful to put on whatever means more business for his billionaire friends.Seriously. This stuff will hurt the consumers of all the countries involved.

Actually, it is the dollar that is going down.

Yes, well I guess what might happen is that the EU adds a global warming tax to all products imported from countries that don’t care about the Kyoto protocol. This would basically even out the economic incentive for European companies to move production outside of the EU’s influence so as to curb green house taxes.I read that EU companies have a lead in Green technology, so when global warming actually gets serious the EU’s economy will be hit less hard.
