They’re back.For the 27th time in 28

years, the Gym Dogs are booked for the NCAA national championship weekend.

No. 8 Georgia placed sec-ond behind No. 6 UCLA Saturday in the Athens region-al qualifier, from which the top two teams advance to nation-als.

“Whew, we made it,” head coach Jay Clark said. “The biggest thing we knew we had to do was qualify — that was the obvious goal.”

Every year from to 1984 to 2009, the Gym Dogs qualified for the championship meet. But the Gym Dogs failed to do so last year when they ended the season on the wrong end of a tie-breaker for second place in the regional qualifier.

“We don’t talk about [last year],” Clark said. “We’ve been operating and doing every-thing we can to build confi-

dence independently of any-thing that happened 12 months ago. They are human, though, and the ones who experienced that had the memory creep into their

minds. But it was not a feeling they wanted to experience again.”

UCLA dominated the meet

After a $5.8 million loss, the

promise of repayment makes the picture somewhat brighter for the University’s Research Foundation.

University President Michael Adams has promised to repay the foundation for its investment in WNEG-TV; however, no details have been given as to when the payment will be made or where the funds will come from.

Regardless, David Lee, vice president for research, said this is good news for the foundation.

“We’re very happy to hear it,” he said. “I’m worried about our ability to keep up with the needs of the research community. We’ve had some blows recently, not unex-pected, but nevertheless we’re not seeing the kind of revenue that we’ve enjoyed in the past.”

Lee also said the foundation does not regret making the invest-ment in the first place.

“I wouldn’t call it a regret,” he said. “The fate of enter-prise couldn’t be foreseen, but I think, really, the outcome turns out to be a good one.”

Lee said having Georgia Public Broadcasting oper-ate the TV station, renamed WUGA-TV, will provide more opportunities for the research foundation to get the word out.

“It’s exactly the kind of pro-gramming the University should be associated with,” he said. “Moreover, having this platform will provide important opportuni-ties to advertise and to educate Georgians about research in the University and why it matters for them.”

Tom Jackson, vice president for public affairs, said any University unit that wants to produce a pro-gram on the TV station has the opportunity to do so.

He cited the College of Public Health as already having a suc-cessful program on the station, and he said the research founda-tion is also working on a pilot pro-gram.

“We can tell stories about Samantha Joye and her research in the Gulf oil disaster or about the cutting edge work in Hepatitis B,” Lee said.

Jackson said the core program-ming for GPB would be a knowl-edge network, a 24/7 programming service, but there will be time in the schedule for University

Smokers will have to take a few extra steps before light-ing up between classes.

But not all students who smoke are upset about the smoking ban.

“I don’t think the ban is really a bother,” said Charlie Stafford, a junior film studies major. “I’m not someone who is attached, so it might even help me quit.”

On March 24, the University Cabinet approved a partial smoking ban for the majority of campus and a full ban on the Health Sciences campus.

The policy prohibits smok-ing within 35 feet of doors on main campus, and also bans smoking from covered walk-ways.

The ban will not be enforced by University Police, but pre-med student Aubrey Mowery said banning smok-ing within a certain number of feet is a step in the right direction for the University.

“I think it’d be impossible to implement a campus-wide smoking ban,” Mowery said. “Banning with a certain num-ber of feet is a good way of beginning to tackle the issue, since not everyone wants to be around it.”

Though the smoking ban does not forbid the habit all together, some students say it might be going a little too far.

“Thirty-five feet is a little ridiculous,” said sophomore Veronica Smillie. “If you’re in-between classes and you need to smoke a cigarette, it’s a bit of a trek.”

The ban on the Health Sciences campus is an entire-ly different issue.

“That makes sense,” Smillie said. “Those students are striving to promote a bet-ter lifestyle, and smoking is against that, so it’s a matter of respect.”

At the same time, howev-er, Smillie said it’s important to remember that the stu-dents on the medical campus are likely under more stress than any other students at the University.

“Maybe respect is also due to the med students who work really hard and some-times need that break,” she said. “If you need to smoke a cigarette to concentrate in

Second baseman Levi Hyams went 1-for-4 with a walk and a run in Georgia’s 4-1 win over Mississippi State at home Sunday.

By ROBBIE OTTLEYTHE RED & BLACK

You’ve got to turn some pages in the record books to find the last time the Diamond Dogs swept a series.

You’ve got to turn even more pages to find the last time it happened at home against an SEC opponent.

That fateful day was March 22, 2009, against Mississippi State.

With the Bulldogs from Starkville coming to town against a hot group of Bulldogs from Athens, there was a chance history would repeat itself.

“It’s big — last week beating LSU and this week getting the sweep,” said starting pitcher Craig Gullickson, whose 5.2 innings of work Sunday led to a 4-1 Georgia win.

“We know what we have to do, and now we just gotta continue doing it and hopefully it’ll all work out.”

The sweep puts Georgia (14-14, 6-3) just one game out of first in the East behind league leaders Florida, Vanderbilt and South Carolina.

“It feels good, but you know we gotta stay humble,” Gullickson said.

“Cause as quick as you can be hot, just as quick you can be cold.”

Power hitting buoyed the Diamond Dogs past Mississippi State.

Designated hitter Brett DeLoach hit a three-run shot just over the left field wall to put Georgia on top in Saturday’s 4-3 win, and followed that performance with a two-run homer in the bottom of the fourth Sunday. This time, though, he left no doubt.

“I knew it was going out of here,” he said. “I wish I could’ve pimped it a little bit, but I just didn’t think about it.”

Multiple-run innings remained rare for the Diamond Dogs, though, and the team left 10 runners on

Student arrested after officers chase him at fraternity house

A University student was charged with underage consumption of alcohol after he attempted to flee from officers Friday night, according to an Athens-Clarke County Police report.

Benjamin Joel Phillips, 18, was at the Alpha Kappa Psi fraternity house on Milledge Avenue when he “fell through the temporary privacy fence” into the side of a police vehicle and then onto the ground, according to the document.

When officers went to speak to Phillips, he ran into the front yard. Phillips was “told to stop but continued and ran away.”

Phillips ran into the fraternity house and was coming out from the side door when officers caught him.

He reportedly smelled of alcohol, was unsteady on his feet and had slurred speech. Phillips told the officers he had been drinking.

Two students and alumnus arrested

Two University students and an alum-nus were charged with DUI, public intoxi-cation, obstructing or hindering officer, unregistered vehicle and failure to obey traffic control device Saturday night, according to an Athens-Clarke County Police report.

John Allen Osborne, 19, drove his vehi-cle through a flashing red light on East Broad Street when officers stopped him.

When an officer asked Osborne if he knew why he was pulled over, Osborne

said he didn’t know. After a conversation about what flashing red lights mean, the officer reportedly noticed the smell of alcohol on Osborne’s breath.

Osborne said he had three beers two hours before. The officer also found out Osborne’s tag was expired.

The other officer conducted field sobri-ety tests on Osborne. While doing this, University alumnus Robert James Beckwith, 24, approached Osborne and “interfered so bad that he had to stop the tests,” according to the document.

The officer began wrestling with Beckwith. The other officer heard the commotion and “jumped out of my car and threw down my ticket book and ran to assist.” He then handcuffed Beckwith and put him in the back of his vehicle.

A few minutes later, the officer who had fought Beckwith was wrestling Dustin Lee Schulz, 23. The other officer detained Schulz.

The officer could reportedly smell the odor of alcohol on the breaths of Beckwith and Schulz. He “could tell by their staggering posture and their insa-tiable yammering that they were extremely intoxicated.”

Beckwith and Schulz said they inter-fered tests because they knew Osborne, according to the report. Osborne said he didn’t know them.

Hearts pound and eyes remain vigi-

lant as students battle each other with Nerf blasters for the fate of the human race.

That’s right — Humans vs. Zombies is back at the University beginning today at sunrise.

“It’s like playing a video game, but it’s real life on campus,” said Tyler Gagat, a sophomore from Marietta and co-presi-dent of Humans vs. Zombies.

In this week-long game — which has been held every semester since fall 2009 — almost every player begins as a human with one zombie for every 100 players, said Adrienne Schwartzman, a sopho-more from Suwanee and co-president of Humans vs. Zombies.

The humans try to stay alive as the zombies feed on humans, also turning them into zombies. In order to fight off the zombies, humans stun them with Nerf guns and rolled-up socks, making the zombies unable to infect humans.

Humans wear a bandanna around

their upper arm; zombies wear a ban-danna around their heads while active and around their necks while stunned.

The battles between the two sides happen between classes.

“It’s not just walking from class to class with nothing to do,” Schwartzman said. “You’re running around.”

She said they expect 500 students to sign up before registration ends, saying a few hundred students register during the last days of registration.

Gagat said in addition to the daytime playing, there are also night missions on Tuesday and Thursday and a final mis-sion to determine the survival of the human race on Friday.

Calls for missions will be broadcast on YouTube, telling players where to meet and what to do.

Gagat said the game allows students to “goof around” and have a good time.

“It gives a lot of people the experience to have fun between classes,” he said.

Schwartzman said she began Humans vs. Zombies at the University because she thought it was an interesting game that helps the campus and motivates people to be more active.

“People meet so many new people that they would have never been able to meet before,” she said. “It also takes a lot of stress off school and brings it back to more recess.”

programming.Still, Lee said the research

foundation learned valuable lessons about investments.

“Should we ever do an experiment like this, we’ll be better informed. A large part of this was the economic meltdown,” he said. “In ret-rospect, we probably should have looked more critically at the business model and per-haps tried to get a better handle on the economy.”

But Lee said it was hard to tell what could have been.

“It’s easy to say these things in hindsight,” he said. “Given what we knew at the time — and we have a very astute board including some successful outside folks who are not currently working at UGA and are successful in the business arena — we all believed that this would be a sound investment based on what we knew at the time.”

For the sixth consecu-tive year, the University’s Traffic Safety Research and Evaluation Group has received a grant renewal to help reduce mortality on Georgia roads.

The group, with a total funding of $2.1 million, pri-marily assesses the effec-tiveness of grants funded by the Governor’s Office of Highway Safety.

“We let the office know what they are getting for their dollars, and what grants may need more time or personnel,” said Carol Cotton, traffic safety research and evaluation group director. “We want these grants to be the best they can be.”

The evaluated grants include initiatives to

improve driver education, the decision-making proce-dures of cops and bicyclist safety. The group will also evaluate a grant held by the Georgia Traffic Injury Prevention Institute.

“A lot of grants are in high schools and colleges,” said group member James Barlament. “They include health fairs and classes and will eventually lead to the increased traffic safety knowledge of the young driver.”

Cotton said there is a need to better educate the University’s young drivers, who often lack knowledge about car maintenance.

She compared driving to a basketball game and strangers on the roadways to a basketball team.

“I see students playing basketball at the Ramsey Center, and I feel like ask-

ing them, ‘If you wouldn’t talk on your cell phone while playing basketball, why would you when you are driving?’” Cotton said.

Barlament had another concern.

“In 2009, Athens-Clarke County ranked in the top 10 for alcohol-related driv-ing fatalities,” he said.

He also pointed out half of all traffic fatalities occur along State Route 10 and the Athens Bypass, both frequented by students.

Cotton stressed these initiatives are more impor-tant than ever now that cars come with so many built-in distractions.

“I am honored to work with people who have a vision,” she said. “Their grants really are bringing great improvements to the safety of Georgia’s road-ways.”

class, the ban could end up being an issue aca-demically.”

Stafford, on the other hand, said that because hospitals are non-smok-ing areas, it makes sense that the Health Sciences campus would be too.

Regardless of student opinions, the ban has already been put into

motion. Now it is only a mat-

ter of how strictly it will be followed.

“The people who have been to UGA for the past four years already might have a little problem remembering and follow-ing it,” Mowery said. “When freshman are entering with the policy, it’ll probably be more strictly followed.”

A DAY IN THE LIFE

Black stereotypes in reality TV, human embry-onic stem cells and the use of Twitter at the University will all be discussed at the Classic Center today.

More than 180 University students will present their research at the Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities Symposium.

The annual event gives students an opportunity to display their research for their colleagues, professors and community.

Students have the opportunity to present in different formats, including oral sessions, thesis round-table sessions, a poster ses-sion or a science as art ses-sion.

Samantha Joye, a pro-fessor in the department of marine sciences, will give the keynote address on conducting science in the midst of a national crisis. Joye has conducted research on the effect of last spring’s Gulf oil spill. She has been heavily quot-ed in media coverage on the spill across the country and across the globe.

CURO students team up with a faculty mentor on campus to conduct research in a wide range of disciplines and topics. The symposium gives under-graduates a chance to be recognized for their efforts, said Matt Jordan of the Honors Program.

“This is about under-graduate academic excel-lence at the University,” he said. “It is not limited by year. It’s not limited by major. It’s not limited by discipline. This is an oppor-tunity for the very best of UGA to be on display for the university community.”

Awards for best student research paper in the arts, humanities, social sciences, civic responsibility focus, international focus and sci-ences will be announced in the general session along with distinctions for excel-lence in undergraduate research mentoring and UGA libraries research.

Jennifer Skinner, a senior art history and his-tory major from Columbus, will receive the best paper in the arts award for her research on “Futurism and Italian Interventionism.”

Although Skinner said she will gain practice pre-senting her research and public speaking because of her oral presentation, she said the honor of winning best paper in the arts means the most.

“Being in the CURO Symposium makes me feel that all the work I put into my paper is being recog-nized,” Skinner said. “That is the best feeling in the world.”

Jordan encourages University students to attend the symposium to support their friends in research endeavors just as they would attend a sport-ing event to support their fellow student-athletes.

“We really want them to be able to talk to their fel-low students, their peers, the people they sit next to in class, the people they live down the hall from, the people they sit next to in the dining hall,” he said. “They are really accom-plished young researchers. This is an opportunity to come and support and really show solidarity with their peers.”

‘Very best’ of Univ. present research

Katherine Phipps, this year’s Miss University of Georgia, hasn’t stopped pushing forward just because she earned her crown.

Since she won the title on Feb. 5, Phipps, a sophomore biology major from Thomaston, continues to excel in her pre-med classes, and is now preparing for the Miss Georgia pag-eant in June.

Miss Georgia is a preliminary pageant for Miss America — the world’s largest scholarship assis-tance program available for young women.

On a typical day, Phipps spends her time going to classes, working out — for the fitness aspect of the pageant — and working with the Young Survival Coalition, an organi-zation dedicated to young women facing breast cancer.

She is working with the group to plan an event on campus this com-ing fall for breast cancer awareness.

Phipps said this event and her platform of breast cancer awareness will draw attention to the disease among young women.

For Phipps, choosing breast can-cer awareness as her platform was not difficult.

Her mother, grandmother and aunt have all experienced breast cancer scares, developing lumps as early as their 20s.

None were cancerous, but their experiences prompted Phipps to spread the message that women should never think they are too young for mammograms. She said she will stress this through the Young Survival Coalition.

On top of this, she is embracing the challenge of choreographing her own dance for the talent portion of the competition, which will be tap-dancing.

With a dance style like that of Fred Astaire and a repertoire of instruction from Broadway and Dallas-based choreographers, Phipps said she will choreograph a dance that represents her personal-ity and communicates her passion for dance.

Dancing has always been an important part of her life. When she entered pageant competitions after seeing her former baby sitter com-pete, it seemed only natural that dance should be her talent.

Phipps joined the University’s Tap Dawgs her freshman year, but took this year off to prepare for Miss UGA and now Miss Georgia.

The 2011 Miss UGA pageant was her first time competing in more than a year.

“It was shock, excitement, a very honored and blessed feeling — the feeling I could win or get nothing at all,” Phipps said.

The moment Phipps won this year’s Miss UGA pageant, she said she was humbled by the realization that on another night the judges might have chosen a different girl as the winner.

“I think that’s what every girl thinks, honestly,” she said. “It’s more a competition of who can present to the audience and judges on that particular night.”

Before this year’s contest, Phipps decided to take a year off from pag-eants “to mature as an individual and balance [her] academic and

social lives.” She focused on spon-soring the Children’s Miracle Network and settling into life as a Panhellenic member and freshman with a difficult course load.

Jerry Anthony, associate director in campus life, said he is scheduling mock interviews and public appear-ances for Phipps to have the oppor-tunity to speak and present her platform to the community.

He said judges for Miss UGA look for a young woman who would best represent the University when she is in the public eye and would also be a role model for young girls.

Whether she’s appearing at pub-lic events, traveling to Atlanta to perfect her dance routine or raising support for local and national phi-lanthropies, Phipps is whole-heart-edly preparing for Miss Georgia. But she’s still trying to keep her feet on the ground.

Mary Catherine Hardage, a soph-omore public relations major and one of Phipps’ Phi Mu sorority sis-ters, said Phipps is the whole pack-age.

“She’s so smart, composed and confident,” she said. “She works hard and has a lot of charisma.”

Internship search a scary endeavor

Living your faith means following newsNearly two months

ago, I was featured in an article in The

Red & Black (“Man on the street: Voices on Egypt,” Feb. 1).

My responses to a question about the tur-moil in Egypt were post-ed under my picture, major and hometown. They were referenced on the opinions page (“Time to grow up: Protestors demand Egypt’s presi-dent resign ... and stu-dents don’t really care,” Feb. 1).

My answers were thus: “There’s some bombings. Only reason I know any-thing is because we prayed about it in church.”

In my answers, I was honest about my overall ignorance on the matter.

Yet, I was sad to see that I was presented in a bad light. This portrayal angered me.

That particular week had been one of the toughest this semester. I am a junior who works a part-time job and takes four 3000-4000 level histo-ry courses and an addi-tional class outside of the University.

I barely have time to breathe.

After I was inadver-tently labeled as someone who did not care and needed to grow up, I was

ticked off. I wanted to write an angry, defensive Letter to the Editor.

But I waited. After taking some

time, I realized a lot of what was implied about me was true. I’ve come to face the hard truth that “growing up” and “caring” mean being willing to face what’s happening in your local county, state, nation and around the world.

Though I would love to give a solid, heart-moving defense of why I didn’t know much about the incidents in Egypt, the truth is I flat out didn’t care to follow the news. The biggest reason for this is I often find the news full of negativity and depressing stories.

Yet that doesn’t give me an excuse to be igno-rant.

I know many people probably inferred from my statement that I am a Christian.

That means a great deal to me in my personal life.

But it matters just the same to me for my public life — this incident included.

Even though I willingly consented to the spot-light, I realized that my statement fit a stereotype that many have about Christians.

Many believe that most Christians are igno-rant, self-righteous, naïve individuals who care more for their own self interests and live under a mask of “Jesus-y,” hypo-critical lingo.

I have to have a cynical laugh after typing that. Not because that claim is funny, but because in my Red & Black debut — that claim was somewhat true.

So I am writing today to make a public apology.

I may believe what I claim to believe about the world, the importance of the person of Jesus Christ, His deity, the exis-tence of Heaven and Hell and the message of man’s need for the redemption and love of Christ.

But if I fail to care about the world outside of my school responsibili-ties and measly pay-checks, then I am living a lie.

I never want to live a lie. I never want to claim all of these things and then live a life that oppos-es them.

I believe wholehearted-ly in Christ and have per-sonally experienced the

effects of such a belief in my life.

The harder truth is that I am still human. And on that day — I messed up.

So, to my fellow stu-dents, University profes-sors and staff — I desire to set the record straight and plead for a second chance to better repre-sent the caring heart I possess, the struggling maturity I am nurturing and the adult shoes I am trying to grow into.

I don’t mind if my rep-utation was damaged on that day, but I cannot allow Christ’s to be taint-ed because of my actions.

So, for those who saw my statement of igno-rance, rolled your eyes and thought to yourself, “There goes another one of those holy-rollers,” here I am asking for your forgiveness, an extended hand of friendship and a second chance.

Though I cannot promise I will not fail again in the future, I do promise this is a commit-ment toward living out my faith.

Even if that includes reading the newspaper on a daily basis.

My email pops up and my eyes start scanning, picking out possi-bilities:

Marketing intern. No.Public relations assistant. No.Part-time tweeter.… Possibly.A cover-letter template appears,

whipped up months ago, and I begin to twist the specific details into place:

Yes, I’d love to work for you. Yes, I have always wanted my career to lead me to your door. Why, yes! I do have many months experience as a professional tweeter.

Facts and figures are worked in on top and in-between — things to make me more attractive, the pro-fessional version of Spanx.

I interviewed Diane Lane!I know my way around

Photoshop!I’m not a complete failure!A few more clicks and I’ve added

in some clips for referential flair. Another packaged application is sent off into the ether.

Finishing my first cup of coffee like clockwork, I see the clock.

It’s 9:37 a.m., and there are still hours in the day and internships to

apply for.I realized a week ago that this

was now my life. In fact, I was not prepping for the next stage, where-in I would be off to bigger and bet-ter things.

There was no bigger. There was no better.

There was only this — the in-be-tween, the possibility.

The collegiate ritual has solidi-fied around my daily routines.

Occasionally, I feel like tacking on a new job title, alongside the others: student, writer, retail asso-ciate — and professional applicant.

Journalism as an industry is in rough shape, and jobs are hard to come by. So I apply — extra hard — and look and scrounge and scram-ble, tweaking my résumé and fluff-ing out my cover letter. (Are there too few glowing adjectives? Too many strenuous adverbs?)

Perhaps that “Ghostbusters” profile isn’t the strongest third piece for my clip package.

Maybe I should send a headshot.Maybe I should just mail them

$20.

Am I crazy? Is the internship searching process really so soul-sucking, so enervating, so exhaust-ing?

I don’t procrastinate too much. I write what needs writing and study when it’s called for.

For the last two years, I’ve even been sidelining in local journalism.

But what’s the point? Succeeding here hasn’t in any way guaranteed me a job out there.

It could be worse: I could be homeless or hopelessly destitute.

Of course, I could also have an internship.

But wait! No time to complain!The clock just struck 9:37 a.m.

It’s another day and my email is full of notices to chase and people to harass politely.

There are packages to send and ethers to fill and people to entreat and entrance into hiring me, free of charge, to do their whatever for however long.

I’ve only six weeks; desperation is no longer verboten.

Summer is coming.Like Meredith Grey of “Grey’s

Anatomy” once said:Pick me. Choose me. Love me.

and film studies and is a variety writer for The Red & Black

ADAM CARLSON

I learned one thing from college breaks: I don’t know how to sit on my

own behind and relax. Many of you piled into

your cars to embark on the yearly University-induced spring break.

Me? I worked twice my normal amount at my job, participated in a day-long interview and caught up on my classes’ readings.

Yes, I have learned much in my years at the University — including that I have already become a workaholic.

And I wonder if those of you who had sand between your toes really don’t know how to take a break either.

The epidemic runs much deeper than our fast-paced college experi-ence.

It’s something our cul-ture learned sometime between the Industrial Revolution and the iPad, a sickness that permits technology to make us work like mad.

Indeed, my observa-tions are that our campus and our culture as a whole does not know how to relax.

We Americans have a long history of over-exert-ing ourselves. And that didn’t begin with profes-sors piling too-heavy workloads on our degree-seeking shoulders.

It began when our country decided there was a “right” amount to accomplish in one day.

If my day does not include an early morning, hours in class, reading in-between and paying my dues at my part-time job, I feel lazy.

I got this from my childhood: I learned in kindergarten good people work hard.

The early bird gets the worm. Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man healthy, wealthy and wise, according to our forefa-ther, Benjamin Franklin.

All this is reinforced daily.

Recently, I applied for a job and was required to state all the things I could handle at one time.

How many jobs have I had at once? How many clubs have I been in? How many people have I helped along the way?

And I had plenty of answers, because I’ve bought into the work it takes to live the American Dream.

We Americans are not alone in this craziness. On average, South Koreans work 34 percent more hours than we do, accord-ing to the Organization for Economic Co-operation and Development.

But some European cultures are decreasing the amount of time they work.

European Union legisla-tion states workers must not put in more than an average of 48 hours per week during a 17-week period.

This legislation recog-

nizes the emotional, physi-cal and psychological toll working too much has on us.

Even our University recognizes we have a limit. We, as students, are not permitted to take more than 18 hours of course work per semester without special permission.

However, I cannot ignore that in many ways we are more economically successful than the EU.

The EU has entered its largest recession since the 1930s, according to the European Commissions Consensus forecast.

Could it be over-work-ing is better?

I still don’t think so.There are more differ-

ences between the two economies than just our work hours.

For one, we are young-er. Our financial and tax systems are different. More of us work.

Though I recognize the difference between our economies, I will not ignore the need for rest in light of these differences.

This hard-work way of life has become habit. Most of us don’t even question it.

When my boss called me Thursday before spring break and asked if I wanted “a lot” of hours, I gladly told her yes.

We must like running like madmen from event to event.

Some of us even get a rush from it.

I am not suggesting we throw out our work ethic.

But we must recognize the role taking breaks can have in our success, and weigh the costs and bene-fits.

Taking breaks makes us more engaged. Nurses who took a short respite came back more excited about their job, according to a 2009 study from the Journal of Occupational and Organizational Psychology.

Also, timing is every-thing. When we work and what we do in-between determines how well we sleep, according to a 2010 study from the Applied Ergonomics Journal. How well we sleep determines how well we work.

I’ve been trying to con-vince myself for years I should work less. I can’t see myself shaving my work time to 48 hours per week, but I can see myself cutting down.

As workaholic Americans we have to trick ourselves into rest-ing.

After all, resting means more effective working.

I can live with that.

‘Source Code’

Words such as “alpha memory strain” and “parabolic calculus” come flying out of “Source Code,” but it doesn’t matter — the film may as well have been made 85 years ago.

For all its leaps of second-crunching faith, Duncan Jones’ quantum thriller is a deeply conventional, almost classical, product of Hollywood storytelling.

Colter Stevens (Jake Gyllenhaal) wakes on a train, surrounded by people he does not know.

A woman (Michelle Monaghan) sits across from him and smiles. People pass by and Colter grows more confused. He fidgets, squirms, jumps up — who’s this fellow now in the mirror, and why doesn’t he have Colter’s face? And then: an explosion, and then something else.

The journey of “Source Code” deserves to be taken for the first time unspoiled, because though the tweaks of this ride are different, the outline is the same; you’ll recognize it, and then enjoy going through the motions: the psychologically-driven hero, the love interest, the deadlines.

The plot is paint-by-numbers that works precisely within the lines. Jones, who directed 2009’s “Moon,” has not lost his feel as a competent storyteller, working off Ben Ripley’s screenplay.

What sparks are the characters: Gyllenhaal — a forcefully emotive actor — is all twitch and nerves, and his per-formance has the feel of show for too much of it, but the end of the film is all mania and panic and get-this-done, underlined by relief.

To that, he rises well. By contrast, Monaghan and Vera Farmiga — as the mysterious army officer directing Colter in his equally mysterious mission — seem all the more vibrant and deft.

The same can’t be said of “Source Code,” whose gear-spinning tricks are stock and trade of the genre it shares space alongside with much better films, such as “Donnie Darko.” Of course, it could be worse.

At least it isn’t “Clockstoppers.”

Q&ADUNCAN JONES,director of ‘Source Code’

Director Duncan Jones met with journalists in Atlanta to discuss the making of his new film starring Jake Gyllenhaal, “Source Code,” which hit theaters April 1.

Topics included the difficulties of time-travel, the perks of a big budget and the eternal struggle of being David Bowie’s son.

— Adam Carlson

“Moon” is a really small film in a lot of ways, and “Source Code” is the typical mid-budget Hollywood film. So transi-tioning from one to the other, did you bring any lessons from your first film? Did you learn anything new working in the studio system?

Well, I brought my producer, which was seriously a massively important thing to do. To come from a small inde-pendent film — especially a foreign inde-pendent film — and to come over to the U.S. and throw yourself into the mix of Hollywood producers and better-known actors and just be there, I think I could have easily been pushed around a lot. But I had three people working in my favor.

You said you would like to explore other genres. What other genres in particular?

Well, I was massively jealous but also excited when Tarantino did “Inglourious Basterds.” I’m a huge “guys on a mis-sion” fan — those kind of movies. “Dirty Dozen,” “Where Equals Dare” or “A Bridge Too Far.” Especially those WWII ones — I used to love those. So by the time I am ready to make one of those films, “Inglourious Basterds” will have been long enough ago that maybe peo-ple will be ready for another kind of film like that. I’d love to do something like that.

When you read the script, did you start thinking through, “OK, I have to keep repeating these sequences,” and what were the challenges in having to think, “OK, I have to keep going through these motions to re-establish the train?”

Exactly what you said. That was the big fear. I read the script and was like, “This is great, it really works, it’s excit-ing. How do I make sure the audience is as excited visually as the read is?” Because sometimes there is a disjoint between what works on the page and what actually works in visual storytell-ing.

So that really became my main objec-tive — to come up with a graph, literally

a system, by which each of the repeti-tions would be visually different but there would be narratively something different each time — new character interactions. So although this is the same eight minutes, essentially you are seeing complexly different things every time. And that was really what I had to do.

After directing “Moon” and then direct-ing a blockbuster like “Source Code,” do you feel like you have a stronger connec-tion to one over the other? Do they evoke equally different emotions?

I want to have the illegitimate child of independent filmmaking and budget to make it. So that’s my aspiration.

With Christina, we never learn anything new about her, but we still have to build a relationship with her. What was it like approaching a story where you have to connect an audience with a world they re-enter every eight minutes?

Well, the most essential thing for that particular relationship was getting the casting right. And that would have just dropped dead if there was no obvious chemistry between Jake and Michelle [Monaghan].

And I think that was the first thing we had to get right. I’d seen Michelle Monaghan in “Kiss Kiss Bang Bang” and the fact that she managed to keep up with Robert Downey Jr. was enough rea-son for me to want to have her come in and see how it worked out, and fortu-nately she’s very smart and she’s obvi-ously very talented. But the most impor-

tant thing is she’s very brave. She’s will-ing to go with her instincts and then if I make a suggestion, she’ll try it, and then if I make a crazy suggestion that might not make sense, she’ll still try it. And both her and Jake were willing to take that kind of direction, and on this film it was really important.

When you made “Moon,” you were the son of David Bowie making a weird indie movie. And now you’re the director of “Moon” who’s made a Jake Gyllenhaal thriller. So are you comfortable now? Do you want to transition into the studio system and keep making these movies or do you want to keep bucking the label?

I really don’t know. In honesty, I don’t really think of it that way. I made “Moon” because I wanted to make fea-ture films and this was the best way I could bring all of the skills and the favors and the friends I had together and make something. Just make a film. And that’s always the hardest step is to get a film made.

“Source Code” was the opportunity to work with some big-name actors, work with Jake — who I was a big fan of — work in the Hollywood system with some more money, more toys to play with.

The next film I’d like to do would be something I’ve written myself with the same kind of money that I did “Source Code” on. And hopefully we’ll take it from there and see how that goes down.

By EDWARD KIMTHE RED & BLACK

The No. 2 Georgia softball team continued its dominance at home winning its 23rd-straight game, including a 6-0 victory over UT Martin on Sunday.

The win over the Skyhawks gave Georgia (32-4) its fourth series sweep in a row.

However, the story of the game came from the catcher,-pitcher duo of junior Ashley Razey and freshmen Morgan Montemayor.

Montemayor (16-2) had a no-hitter broken up with no outs in the fifth off a single by Kate Vanderham.

She went on to blank UT Martin in six innings of work on one hit before handing the ball off to senior Katie Murphy, who worked a perfect seventh

inning. “[Montemayor] looked

great [Sunday], and then to have Murph come in and fin-ish after her was amazing,” Razey said. “We have a great pitching staff of all five pitch-ers.”

Razey provided the offen-sive spark for Georgia, as she finished 3-for-3 with four RBIs.

After having Saturday’s game off, Razey came back with a vengeance at the plate on Sunday.

Her first two RBIs came in the first. A single up the mid-dle scored seniors Megan Wiggins and Brianna Hesson to give the Bulldogs an early

2-0 lead.After another Georgia run

in the second, a double by Razey off the center field wall and a single by Kristyn Sandberg scored two more runs in the third.

A second Razey double in the fifth extended the lead to 6-0.

“I haven’t been hitting well in the past,” Razey said. “I went home [on Saturday] and hit with my dad and really focused on hitting how I can hit, taken what coach says all the time and just seeing the ball and hitting it.

In Sunday’s game, Razey raised her batting average .050 points to .310 on the year.

In two games against UT Martin (20-13), the Bulldogs held the Skyhawks to just one run on five hits.

base Saturday. Still, catcher Brandon Stephens said he believes that with Georgia’s strong perfor-mance on the mound, offensive outbursts won’t be necessary.

“Different teams are different … so will four runs be enough? There’s no way of telling,” said the fresh-man, whose three hits Sunday were the most of his young career. “If we pitch like that, yeah it will.”

Gullickson’s performance capped a weekend in which the Diamond Dogs’ pitching staff allowed only five runs in 27 innings of work. Gullickson’s outing came despite a blister that prevented him from throwing his curveball.

“He located everything real well,” Stephens said. “The change-

up was good enough to make up for the lack of curveball, and his slider was there too, so he had it today.”

Reliever Tyler Maloof posted his 11th save of the year and third of the weekend with a three-up, three-down ninth inning.

But with two mid-week games and a weekend trip to Oxford on deck, head coach David Perno said he’ll give Maloof and reliever Blake Dieterich some rest.

“The good news on that is he shows the durability. The bad news on it, we probably gotta shut both those guys down next couple games,” Perno said.

from beginning to end, scoring a 49.200 or higher on all four events, while the Gym Dogs struggled early on with a 48.800 on beam in the first rotation.

“Most of us were fighting a battle in our own head to stay positive, optimistic and with the moment this year and not think about last year,” junior Kat Ding said. “The only lapse that we had was during the first event because we were very timid, but after that we let it go, and we’ve realized that we can’t approach it that way.”

After a bye during the second rotation, the Gym Dogs caught their footing, posting a 49.200 on floor.

Then besting that score with a 49.325 on the vault followed by their best event of the afternoon — a 49.425 on bars to close out the meet and clinch a spot in nationals with a 195.750, their second-highest team score of the season.

“They started out a little rough,” Clark said. “But we settled in and saw some great things from various people. We weren’t perfect, but we had enough fight and enough in the tank to get it done. Towards the end of the meet it was nice to be in a place where there wasn’t an awful lot of heat on us. We knew we just had to hit bars, and we were able to do that.”

Ding posted the highest individu-al score of the day on bars with a 9.950 and ranks first in the country

in the event heading into nationals.Fellow junior Gina Nuccio fin-

ished second on bars, and senior Cassidy McComb finished third.

“We just couldn’t let up,” Nuccio said. “We just had to do what we were capable of doing on bars, and that’s exactly what we did. We went in and competed fearlessly.”

With a stellar performance on bars, the Gym Dogs’ focus moving forward is to make sure they are just as sharp in every event.

“We need all four events,” Nuccio said. “We’re not a three-event team — we need all four to win.”

Clark said he is excited about being back at nationals, but stressed that the team’s focusing was, and still is, to win everything.

“We wanted to win this meet,” he said. “We are happy that we are going back to nationals, but we still lost the meet. That’s never what a Georgia team sets out to do. What we’ve done at this point is taken a step toward recapturing the momen-tum that we need. Now we can go to nationals and compete aggressively and free.”

The NCAA championship week-end, which includes 12 teams, will be April 15 to 17 in Cleveland, Ohio. Clark said the meet is wide open for any team to win — even the Gym Dogs.

“This is anybody’s meet this year,” he said. “We don’t concede anything at this point in the season. We’re not just happy to qualify, our goals are still in front of us.”
