| To sleep, perchance to ... work?
It can feel like not getting any sleep. You work all day, collapse in your bed and dream that you are still working. Then you wake up to find that you really haven't been working. And now you must get up and work again, even though you're exhausted from working in your dreams. Staples Inc. calls this phenomenon "sleepworking." On Thursday, the office-supply retailer released results of an online survey showing that more than half of small-business professionals are "sleepworkers." "Our customers often tell us there just aren't enough hours in the day, so it's understandable that business activity is invading sleep time," said Staples executive John Giusti. Frank Schultz of the Tavern Hospitality Group says he's constantly dreaming of business — which for him means expanding his chain of tony neighborhood taverns.
Bear with Us
Short kick goes to Garrett Wolfe at the 25 or so and he returns it just across midfield. Shot through a couple of creases and the Bears start with great field position. Bears start with two tight ends and Grossman hits Greg Olsen for seven. Cedric Benson cuts back in the backfield and has no one on that side, then he splits a pair of defenders around the 25 and outruns them to the end zone. I'm not making that up and he is fired up. PAT is good.
Bears 7, Seahawks 0, 14:05 left in the first quarter
Vasgersian says that's the first touchdown the Bears have scored on their opening drive since Opening Day last year. Burleson returns the kick to the 33, and Hasselbeck hits Maurice Morris out of the backfield on the left side and Morris cuts away from a tackle and gets the first down to the Bears' 49.
Football recruiting
VanGorder was introduced as the Gamecocks' new defensive coordinator on Dec. 19. Nearly a month later, VanGorder bolted South Carolina to rejoin the Atlanta Falcons' coaching staff. If VanGorder communicated with any of the incoming defensive recruits during his tenure in Columbia, Simmons wasn't among the group. "I really never met him," said Simmons, who committed to the Gamecocks when Tyrone Nix was in charge of the South Carolina defense. "I didn't know anything about him. "But I'm still committed to South Carolina. Nothing's changed." Simmons seemed puzzled that VanGorder never picked up the phone and dialed his number. "I was surprised because I thought I'd get a call," he said. "But I never got a call." Simmons is confident the Gamecocks are close to being a contender in the SEC, despite the recent turnover at the defensive coordinator position.
