Smoky start to the week
Posted June 19, 2012
We received quite a few calls and lots of posts to the WeatherCenter Facebook page from folks who smelled a smoky odor Monday morning, as a combination of wind directions and the temperature structure through the lower atmosphere acted to both transport some smoke from a large fire in the Croatan National Forest inland a ways, and concentrate some of it enough to make it noticeable, at least in the early hours of the day.
The Croatan fire is in the lower section of Craven County on the south side of the Neuse river, and some of the smoke from the fire followed a curving path to the south, then the west and finally drifted north in order to arrive here, as the pressure pattern that brought northeast winds to the state for the beginning of the Father's Day weekend shifted and caused the winds to eventually turn more to the south. That process is reflected in the calculated trajectories shown in the first image here. Each of the starred city locations is the end point for air that traveled along the path shown in the preceding 36 hours, with each marker along the path denoting 6 hours of movement.
In addition to being carried into our area, the smoke was made more apparent by being concentrated vertically under a strong temperature inversion early Monday. As seen in the second image here, which is a vertical profile of temperature (red) and dew point (green). Notable here is that early in the morning the temperature is much cooler right at the surface than it is just a few hundred feet up. When the air is warmer above like this, and air that tries to rise finds itself surrounded by warmer air, so it is denser and sinks again, and the opposite is true as well. If some of the warmer air above is pushed downward, it is then warmer than air around it, becomes buoyant by comparison and rises back to where it was. The net result is that there is very little up or down motion, vertical mixing or dilution below a "trapping" inversion like that, and the smoke was able to remain relatively concentrated.
The same profiles a little later in the morning show a very different look once the surface is heated up some by the sun, as seen in the third image. Now the surface is warmer than the air a few hundred to a few thousand feet up, which frees the air in the lowest few thousand feet to mix much more easily. This "ventilation" process brings fresh air, flowing in from the southwest as seen by the direction of the wind barbs along the right side of the sounding, and lofts the smoke from the surface, resulting in a great amount of dilution. The end result (especially when combined with the passage of a narrow line of light showers yesterday morning) was that the smoke was no longer an issue for most of us , becoming undetectable by mid-morning or so.
Today, the general wind flow is more from the south to southwest, and should pin the greatest amounts of smoke closer to the coast. This is reflected in the forecast map (fourth image) from the NC DENR Division of Air Quality, showing Code Red levels of particulate pollution near the fire, and a larger Code Orange area covering surrounding areas. I've included a link to the DAQ forecast page where you can find links to the special fire/smoke forecasts, in case you're traveling that way this week and would like to check for updates.

Editorial: Truth is, ag land hit hard
Minnesota farmers produce a substantial share of the food that feeds nation and the world. Effective in 2014, those farmers also will produce a greater share of the taxes that fill government coffers. This is thanks to the dozen or so new laws the DFL majority passed in 2013. These lawmakers apparently forgot that their party's middle initial stands for farmer.
In addition to a new sales tax on equipment repair and a warehouse for storing farm machinery, Minnesota also has a statewide school levy that hits farm property. The education commissioner now sets a uniform tax rate, resulting in every farmer paying a state-imposed tax — in addition to local taxes — on every acre of land and building.
There's more. County assessors no longer can reduce the value of farm property that has a conservation easement. This means land that shouldn't be farmed and isn't will be taxed as if it should be farmed and is.
Several farmers complained to the Goodhue County Board during this week's Truth-in-Taxation hearing that their property taxes are going up between 49 to 200 percent ... and more.
Compounding the problem here is that ag land sales in 2011-12 increased property values for taxes payable next year: Mining companies paid top dollar for property rich in silica sand.
We advise ag producers to make the truth known to the state lawmakers: Higher taxes may well plow more farmers under and convince others to take oil companies up on their lucrative offers.

TCU's Gary Patterson: Bye week was crucial for game planning
Gary Patterson addressed the media again Tuesday at his weekly press luncheon. After a sixteen day layoff, TCU returns to the field on Saturday at 11 a.m. against SMU.
In addition to game planning for the SMU offense coached by June Jones and Hal Mumme, Patterson has also used the off week to game plan for future conference foes.
"In practice, we've been able to work on things that Kansas and Oklahoma do," Patterson said. "We also worked on Oklahoma State and the things that they do other than just lining up in four wide and throwing the football."
"We worked on their specialty personnel groups, so we aren't wasting our practice in game week. You're getting your kids ready," Patterson said. "Those things are critical. You're talking about a sixty play game. If you can play well, you're taking them out of those kinds of personnel groups. It may only be 12 plays, but if you don't prepare well you may get 30 plays [of a specialty formation]."
Patterson, who enters his 16th year as a coach at TCU, said he was pleased that his team moved past the feeling of feeling sorry for themselves-then again, he said his players did not have a choice.
"Oh yeah that [feeling] was after one day. They don't get a choice in that matter," Patterson joked.
At some point in time, players have to take ownership and decide that they will not allow losing to happen. Patterson said that has been a strength of his program; TCU has missed a bowl game just one time in Patterson's tenure.
"You've got to make sure you understand, [losing] is a disease. It spreads," Patterson said. "If you're not careful, you get to where you tolerate it. Losing cannot be tolerated. Even in 2004 (TCU's only losing season under Patterson) we didn't tolerate it. That's why we were able to turn that thing around quickly in 2005."
Patterson said that the key word that he teaches is "ownership."
"Ownership is the most important word. More than leadership to me. This is my house. This is my team. This is how we do things," Patterson said.
The TCU and SMU game will be televised Saturday on Fox Sports 1.

Insurers shun online scrutiny
A war of words has deepened in the insurance industry over comparison websites which allow people to easily shop around and compare prices for house, contents and car cover.
Last week, the Sunday Star-Times reported that, in a submission to the Commerce Commission, giant Australian insurer Suncorp (which owns Vero and AA Insurance), accused rival giant Australian insurer IAG (which owns State, AMI, and NZI), of refusing to provide pricing data to price comparison websites.
Common in the UK, these sites have led to people shopping around, fierce competition and cuts to insurers' margins.
New Zealand has plenty of sites where people can compare and buy life insurance, but none covers general insurance like house, contents and car cover.
Suncorp's claims emerged because IAG had said price comparison could evolve here to provide competition, something it hoped would help persuade the Commerce Commission to let it take over Lumley and give it a 66 per cent share of the general insurance market.
Now Roger Bell, a former chief executive of Suncorp-owned Vero, claims Suncorp is among insurers refusing to provide pricing information to a comparison website he is trying to launch.
Bell is trying to set up iCompare with British expat Richard Conway from Pure SEO, a search engine optimisation firm, who fixed on the plan after seeing a gap in the market when he came here five years ago.
"The major players are very reluctant," Bell said. "They don't want to see their prices and terms and conditions listed where consumers can make comparisons."
So far none of the local insurers had signed up, despite all being asked. Because of that, Bell said he was "astounded" when he learned Suncorp was blowing the whistle on IAG's alleged refusal to play ball on comparison websites.
To date only overseas insurers had agreed to provide information to iCompare, Bell said, as they saw the website as a potential way to make sales into New Zealand without spending a lot.
Bell and Conway wouldn't name these insurers but Australian comparison websites carry cover from the likes of global group Virgin Money, as well as local Australian insurers, who have no presence here.
"We think the New Zealand insurers are making a mistake here because these overseas players are big, and very experienced in moving into new markets," Bell said. "We will be approaching them again, and indicating that we intend to publish the names of the insurers who don't provide their terms to the aggregation sites. We would think they'd want to avoid that."
A recent Colmar Brunton survey found three-quarters of people would like to be able to buy general insurance policies online.
Tim Grafton, the chief executive of the Insurance Council of New Zealand, said it would be cautious about comparison websites because of the danger of people focusing "solely on price and on the cover they are getting".
Suncorp company Vero said it felt similarly. "Vero is an intermediated insurer. That means we sell our products through brokers and other business partners.
"Vero ensures our brokers and other business partners have all the information they need regarding prices and conditions for the needs of the customers they represent. We do not believe price comparison sites can match that service."
It said: "Comparison sites focus on premium price. That is just one factor a customer needs to take into account when deciding what insurance cover meets their needs. Customers can choose a variety of premium cost and excess options. They can also choose to vary cover depending on changes in the value of the asset they are protecting. That is the key reason general insurers in Australia and New Zealand have not supported comparison sites."
Suzanne Wolton from Suncorp company AA Insurance, said it could not see what a price-comparison website would add, though she didn't entirely rule out participating in one.
"Our participation would depend on a number of things, such as the type of business model the site is proposing, consumer demand, and competitor activity. Above all though, the model cannot simply be all about price. We've learned some lessons since Canterbury that, although price is important, there is a lot more to consider . . . such as financial strength, claims service and ensuring that you have right cover in place for your individual needs."
In a statement, IAG said it did not believe price-comparison sites gave customers enough information to make an informed decision. "They invariably fail to provide adequate insights on other key features that are important . . . such as the scope of insurance cover or claims and service experience - areas that we invest heavily in though our direct insurance brands, and where brokers also play a valued role."
IAG said price-only sites can led to a "race to mediocrity" where policies are stripped of benefits in order to rate more highly, potentially exposing customers to greater risk of loss, rather than policies being based on a combination of benefits that could better meet a customer's actual needs.
But Bell and Conway said iCompare was designed to put information before consumers so they could make informed choices.
Conway said insurers might face a backlash when their reluctance to engage with such a website becomes apparent to customers. "New Zealand insurers often claim to champion consumer choice, but they are hesitant about participating in a forum that will offer exactly that. At a time when other monopolies are under public scrutiny, this doesn't seem wise to us."

Happiness held is the seed; happiness shared is the flower.
In a society where the individual is put on a pedestal and where selfishness is excused in the name of independence, Psychiatrist Karl Menninger's advice about the connection between personal sanity and giving to others may be perplexing.
Once, when someone asked him what to do if a person feels he is about to have a nervous breakdown, Dr. Menninger replied:
Lock up your house, go across the railroad tracks, find someone in need, and do something for them.
But when I'm feeling bad, how will my doing something for someone else help me … what's the connection?
Considered the pre-eminent philosopher of the last century, Paul Ricoeur writes about this at length in his book, Oneself as Another. When we see that others are human like us, we can empathize with their suffering (rather than judge them harshly) and share in their happiness (rather than be envious).
Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow. ~ Swedish proverb
By walking in the shoes of another and taking another's perspective, our incredible mind is able to know what it must be like to be that person, in that predicament, at that time. In everyday conversation, we often hear people say, I know exactly how you feel!
This understanding reflects back upon us personally and we become aware that we are like the other – not the same – but like another. When this happens, perhaps a little of our self-importance and self-centeredness washes away. We are then able to recognize that humility and giving are essential to loving. And as Menninger wrote:
Love cures people – both the ones who give it and the ones who receive it.
So we've come full circle.
Karl Menninger, founder of the Kansas Menninger Clinic, is considered the Dean of American psychiatry. His book, The Human Mind, is a classic in its field.

What are the rates ?
The rates for the collections per reference year (in Euro, excl. VAT):
The rates per borrowing per reference year (in Euro, excl. VAT):
Special measure
If the annual number of borrowings of a certain community does not reach a threshold of 1% of the total number of borrowings in Belgium, a special measure enters into force. The community in case will then pay a lump sum which covers both remunerations for the size of the collection and the number of borrowings. Up to reference year 2012, this lump sum is set at 8,000 EUR. This lump sum, too, will rise each year from (reference year) 2013 till 2017. In practice, this only applies to the German Community.

DO NOT BEEP AT ME and wave your hands just because I'm not making a right on red right away. Are you in THAT much of a rush? It's really not my problem if you left your house too late this morning. I am not risking my life because you're a moron.
I love you and you're a good friend, but please stop trying to make me feel guilty that my family doesn't have money problems and yours does. I'm not spoiled, my mom doesn't hand over money to me when I ask her, I work just as you do. Yes, my mom does pay for my college education...most moms and dads do! You have a good family and they really love you...I think that's more important than anything.
I'm sorry you're so obese. I wish there was something I could do for you, but I'm scared to offend you. You talk about your weight problem all the time, and it doesn't really seem like you're doing anything about it. I wish I could help you, but I don't know what you need.
No, you have NO idea what it was like for me to lose my father because your grandfather/uncle/neighbor died. NOT THE SAME THING AT ALL.

If you're the bookish type of person, hardly anything can compare to reading outside in the fresh air. The tranquility and peace is a great way to relax and unwind in the comfort of your own home. Therefore, creating a garden reading hideout is the perfect was to meld together your appreciation of nature, with your love of literature!
What Makes a Reading Hideout?
You may be wondering, what constitutes a reading hideout? Essentially your space should be composed of only 1 or 2 chairs, placed in the heart of your garden. To this basic layout you can opt to add various features such as water fixtures that shine all year round, small sculptures, rock art or even a pond. Overall the only limits you should have to face are your budget, and your imagination!
Pick the Right Spot
Start off by considering the location. Do you want a smaller, cosier spot? Or would your prefer something more spacious and roomy? Do you want to get comfy in the shade, or would you prefer to bask in the sun? Overall there is no right answer, just go with your heart and select the garden reading hideout that makes you feel the most relaxed and peaceful.
Get Crafty
When you have successfully chosen a spot, move on to selecting plants and complementary artwork. A good tip is that the more greenery, the better. Additionally, opting for fragrant flowers can additionally attract buzzing life into your hideout, such as bees and birds!
When it comes to artwork avoid overly busy and bright pieces, and instead opt for subtle muted designs that wont detract from the tranquility.
Personalise its use
You may want to share your space with your family, so its important to have their needs in mind when you're making your garden reading hideout. Opting for an outdoor fireplace or a sleek, modern fire pit gives your space to additionally act as an outdoor entertaining area.
If you have kids remember to steer clear of materials with toxic properties and any sharp areas. Increase opt for soft padding and grassy spaces.
Lighting sources
Next option. Lighting. This depends on whether you prefer to read from a hardcopy book, or prefer a modern alternative such as a kindle. If you opt for the paper kind you're going to need to install a good light source, that won't be too dim or too bright. Alternatively, its easier to read from an electronic device under low lighting, so choose low wattage LED lights, or even just rely on the sun!
Furniture selection
Commence with searching for simple elements, like deckchairs or benches. Perhaps opt for a snuggly wicker chair, or even something more radical such as a hammock or suspended chair! Always remember that comfort is key, and hence don't forget to adorn with cushions and blankets!
Moreover, if you're seeking to create a truly unique space, investigate into contemporary outdoor furniture. For example a modest, yet elegant table is always a good investment.
By now, you are bound to have noticed the endeavour of creating a garden reading hideout isn't as difficult as it initially might seem! So start planning now so you too can have a quiet place to enjoy books of your own.

One of the cool things about working with NetBase on a series of webinars is that they are a market research tool and send me cool things like the chart below. Scanning the web for conversations around the various advertisers on last night's Super Bowl, the NetBase Passion Index churned out some surprising results.
According to their research that earmarks sentiment (like vs. dislike) and passion (love vs. hate) then plots them on a grid to show correlations, very few ads got the overall thumbs-down. Even Groupon, which anecdotally seemed to be the worst offender of audience tastes was plotted less passionate, but more likable.
GoDaddy's high like and high passion response is inevitably overshadowed by the ignorant men talking about boobs rather than whether or not they like the company, but that is what the research measures — reactions to the commercials rather than the companies.
Perhaps most surprising is that Chrysler's emotional championing of Detroit is kinda middle of the road. People didn't like or dislike, love or hate it. Obviously, the results would be different if you plotted only Michigan-area responses.
More people talked about the Doritos ads than any other. Theirs scored high in my opinion. I just like the humor. I know not everyone does which is probably why their plotted in the middle of the chart. BudLight is surprisingly higher on the like-dislike vertical scale in my opinion. For Budweiser, I thought their ads were a bust last night.
So what surpises you about the plotting here? Should Groupon be way down near the bottom? Why do you suppose it's not? And if you want to question the methodology and searches, I'm certain Netbase is watching. They'll be happy to fill you in.
The comments are yours.

- yet you seem to know exactly what Smith woulda done.
"kaepernick actually got the team to the superbowl"
- Actually Kaepernick AND Smith got the team to the superbowl. As for last year ... did Kaepernick play the 2011/12 NY Giants? And let's remember at mid-season Alex had most people predicting the Niners would WIN the Super Bowl - Kaepernick fell short of that expectation.
"kaepernick made plays both throwing and running that smith could never make."
- Agreed. Flacco couldn't have made those plays either, yet he's a Super Bowl MVP.
"With smith...they never make a comeback"
- Again I agree ... because there's no comeback to make. He completes more balls, keeps the Ravens offense off the field, and doesn't throw a pick leading to a touchdown.
"You all thought harbaugh was a genius until he benched smith"
- It's easy to see what he likes about Kaepernick but he gave people like myself credibility for doubting his decision when his super bowl caliber team came up short.
Duckhunter Highland, UTFeb. 4, 2013 5:13 p.m.
I'm not "bugged" by anything about this. The fact is you have no clue about what smith "woulda, coulda, or shoulda" done in that game. I KNOW this for a fact. kaepernick is a vastly superior talent. harbaugh knows this and benched smith. smith was unable to even get the team to the superbowl and when he had his chance last year he was unable to even get one single 1st down on 6 straight possessions in the 2nd half of that game.
kaepernick actually got the team to the superbowl and kaepernick played a very good game.
Your smith delusions are funny, and fun for me to mock, but they are just that, delusions. He was benched because he isn't as good, plain and simple. Deal with it.
kaepernick made plays both thgrowing and running that smith could never make. With smith in that game SF gets blown out, they never make a comeback they simply get pounded into the turf.
We know this for sure as well, smith got benched, harbaugh deems him insufficient. You all thought harbaugh was a genius until he benched smith when in truth benching smith is what made him a genius.

"How does alex smith improve that poor defensive showing? All you can claim is that he would have moved the ball better than kaepernick and kept the Baltimore offense off the field. Based on what? Your opinion?"
Just to be clear ... yes that is my opinion. However that opinion is based on factual information ... namely, Alex Smith's completion ratio AND turnover ratio. If Alex Smith plays an Alex Smith kind of game, Baltimore has fewer 1st half possessions and isn't given great field position on a TERRIBLE interception leading to a touchdown.
That my friend is exactly what the Niners could have used yesterday, you're just to bugged to admit it.
motorbike Cottonwood Heights, UTFeb. 4, 2013 4:19 p.m.
You're not grasping the fact that where Kaepernick failed yesterday is where Smith typically excels. Many of us warned it would be exactly this that would come back to haunt Harbaugh in a big game.
Yes Kaep has the stronger arm, yet going for the big play equated to stalled drives in the first half. Based on what we all know of Smith, he likely would've been more patient and completed more balls by taking what the defense gave him. That would in turn have led to shorter, more attainable 3rd downs where they could've better utilized the run game to help. In the meantime they'd have kept the ball away from the Ravens, keeping the scoreboard in check. You in turn want to blame SF's defense even though it was Kaepernick's big play mentality and errors that kept SF's defense on the field in the first half.
Put it this way, if the Niners would've won, Kaepernick would've been MVP. If Smith had played and the Niners won, someone like Gore would've been MVP. That said, I'd have liked the Niner's chances more with Smith.
FatMan86 West Jordan, UTFeb. 4, 2013 2:30 p.m.
Silly to just assume that Smith makes all those plays and makes no mistakes himself. Fact is San Francisco has struggled in the red zone for most of the past 2 years no matter who is under center. This game was lost in the 49er secondary and their inability to stop Ravens receivers on 3rd down. It was also lost on special teams. Enough with the BYU and Utah myopia. There were a lot of other people on the field besides the BYU and Utah alums.

"I watched my 49er's all year long earn the right to go to the Super Bowl and poor officiating on the kickoff return, safety and 4th down make me sick to my stomach."
Take off your 49er glasses....give me a break. You know nothing about football. Since when is it bad officiating if a player decides to run out of the endzone for a safety? Get a clue.
Duckhunter Highland, UTFeb. 4, 2013 1:06 p.m.
I also said kaepernick made several throws smith is incapable of making. You realize kaepernick ran for those 1st downs because none of the wr's were open don't you? Are you trying to tell us smith, with a weaker, inferior arm would have been able to complete passes for 1st downs to wr's that were not open?
You also seem to forget, or maybe it's just ignore, the fact that Baltimore was blowing SF out. They were lighting up SF's defense. How does alex smith improve that poor defensive showing? All you can claim is that he would have moved the ball better than kaepernick and kept the Baltimore offense off the field. Based on what? Your opinion?
The truth is kaepernick is better than smith, it really isn't even debateable. kaepernick got them to the superbowl, something smith couldn't do. kaepernick brought them back from a large deficit with his running and passing in the 2nd half. Frankly he played very well.
Your smith love simply has you deluded into thinking his inferior talent could accomplish more than kaepernick's vastly superior abilities. I find it funny.
motorbike Cottonwood Heights, UTFeb. 4, 2013 11:58 a.m.
Your only rebuttal was that I ignored CKaep's running. Yet I point you in the direction of the Super Bowl MVP - Joe Flacco. Flacco had less running yards AND less passing yards than CKaep, yet the Ravens won. There's also no saying that Alex couldn't have extended those same drives by simply completing more passes as he has proven to do in the past.
Secondly, CKaep's running didn't help the Niners in the first half when they had so many stalled 49er drives. Instead it was his inconsistent passing of the ball and a terrible interception that helped dig an ugly hole.
Again I point you to the Super Bowl MVP who is far more similar to Alex Smith than CKaep. Turns out being a game-manager type who makes fewer mistakes is not such a bad thing after all. Alex would have been far less flashy as CKaep yesterday, but I'd have loved the Niner's chances had he played.
Eddie Syracuse, UTFeb. 4, 2013 11:33 a.m.
Smith would not have made a difference other than the 49ers would have lost by more. He does not have the talent. He has shown it in the past and will continue to show it in the future. You can like him all you want because he went to the u, but facts are facts and he is not that good. u tend to look at all the positive things he has done in the past which everyone does, but fail to look at all the negatives. Sorry, but you have to look at both and SF was correct in not starting him or even putting him in. All these armchair coach's make me laugh. The u is full of them.

@One more anonymous voice
They're to busy rising in "righteous indignation" over SF playing the vastly superior kaepernick over the vastly inferior smith to be worried about that. Plus they were all going for the ravens because of their "righteous indignation" over smith's benching so they actually agree with lewis. They all really think God smote harbaugh for his decision. You know the decision that actually lead to SF making it to the Superbowl instead of losing in the playoffs and not being able to make even one 1st down for the last 6 possetions of the NFC championship game. LOL!
Duckhunter Highland, UTFeb. 4, 2013 9:55 a.m.
kaepernick extended several drives by running for 1st downs, at least 3-4 of them that I can think of. smith would not have been able to make any of those runs. kaepernick made several throws for 1st downs that smith could not make either. Your "logic" fails in that all you focus on are the points you think smith would have done better while ignoring the things smith would have done worse or could not have done at all.
In my opinion the BEST smith could have done would be a wash with what kaepernick did, that is at best. That still equates to a loss. Some of you utah "fans" delusional take on smith's abilities are pretty funny though. The truth is if SF did anything less than win the Superbowl you were all going to go on a "smith woulda won it" tirade. None of you made a single comment on the subject for the last 2 months while kaepernick carved up the NFL, but since SF did not win the Superbowl it is now because smith, the far less talented qb, didn't play. LOL!

Your logic is flawed. If Alex plays, chances are great he'd have had a higher completion percentage which means they move the chains more in the first half when Kaepernick was bumbling and stumbling. If that happens (as Alex's stats prove likely) then the Ravens don't get as many possessions which means less points.
And while you talk about the throws Kaepernick completed that Alex supposedly couldn't have, let's talk about the interception Kaepernick threw that Alex most certainly wouldn't have. That gift led to more of those Baltimore points as you may recall.
See how flawed your logic is? That's right, points aren't always 100% the fault of the defense.
Bottom line, Kaep is extremely talented and gifted but Alex is more calm, level-headed and steady. This game would've been less likely to have gotten out of hand had Alex's high completion percentage and low turnover ratio been a factor in the game.
You don't mess with a Super Bowl favorite mid-season, Harbaugh should've finished the year with Alex at the helm. I'd have loved there chances had he done so.
joseywales Park City, UTFeb. 3, 2013 11:31 p.m.
Speculation on both sides. Fact is no one will ever know. I believe that Smith makes a few of the throws that Kap floated. I mentioned on another post that Colin has no touch. Something many others have said as well. He likes to show off his arm strength, which is fine, except sometimes showing off, doesn't do it. The run that Kap had for the TD, I could have made as well, it was wide open, he did nothing extraordinary on that one. As pointed out already Smith isn't exactly a non issue as a running QB. He isn't as fast, but still runs as good as most NFL QB's. Different styles of player for sure, but Smith throws a better ball (not harder, better, more accurate) and is much smarter. Sometimes "game managers" are what you need. It would have come in handy tonight for sure.
Duckhunter Highland, UTFeb. 3, 2013 10:59 p.m.
kaepernick made several throws, completions, that alex smith couldn't have made on his best day. There was one to davis in particular that smith never could have made and the 49ers finished that drive with a score. To think that playing the vastly inferior smith, instead of the vastly superior kaepernick, would have lead to a 49ers win is ridiculous. As I said the 49ers still give up 34 points whjether smith plays or kaepernick and several of the runs and passes kaepe3rnick made simth is completely incapable of making. If smith starts that game it is never even close, ravens win in a blowout.

"Ya, and I can see Alex Smith running one in from 20 yards out." - Apparently you missed a lot of Alex's games the past two years where he has shown that he too can run the football a little. His run for a touchdown against the Saints in last year's playoffs was awesome.
"Unfortunate for the 49ers there was a terrible bad no call at the end of the end that cost the game." - Sorry but just as the announcers said, that was a great no-call. The defender grabbed at the receiver when the receiver started attempting to create space. Had the receiver done nothing then it would've been right to throw the flag ... but that was absolutely not the case and the refs were right to let the players decide the game. GREAT no-call.

No problem...Alex received the same benefit when Brett was injured.
When David failed to get the kicking job done, Jim brought in a person to compete for the kicking job.
Since Jim failed to get the job done for the second consecutive year, Jim should understand and the 9'ers ownership should bring in a Head Coach to compete for Jims' job.
What goes around should come around...
What's good enough for the players should be good enough for the coaches.

32843 PROVO, UTFeb. 3, 2013 9:31 p.m.
Yes, turnovers cost the 9er's. Have you forgotten that one of those turnovers was off a poorly thrown ball which was easily intercepted? That turnover resulted in a score for the Ravens. I tend to agree with John Charity Spring, it's likely the 9er's would have won this game if Smith had been playing. But, only twit like Jim Harbaugh would replace a QB that took them to the championship game last year and had a brilliant season going until he got hurt.
I'm no way a Alex Smith fan. He is, after all, a product of the UoU. But, one thing I hate more than that is the mercenary attitude the 49er's coach displayed and the shabby treatment he laid on Smith. I was against the 49er's only because I didn't want such a jerk like Harbaugh getting a super bowl championship on his resume. People like him, people with a win at all costs attitude, are a horrible example to hold up to our children. I was happy to see Colin K have a mediocre game and contribute to the Ravens winning this years Super Bowl.

The guys calling the game seemed to agree with your opinion as well, as do I. Karma caught up to Jim Harbaugh tonight ... no loyalty whatsoever. My prediction and the same prediction of many others came true today ... Kaepernick is super talented and may end up a super star, but he is young and was prone to mistakes. Those early mistakes and jitters were the most glaring things that cost the 49ers today. I just don't think Alex makes the same mistakes and would've managed a better overall game. We'll never know for sure, but we do know this, Kaepernick didn't get the job done and Harbaugh should be thinking back to whether this was the year to make the switch he made.
Bottom line, congrats to the Ravens ... particularly Paul Kruger, Ma'ake Kemoeatu, David Reed, Haloti Ngata and Dennis Pitta. And I'm glad the better and classier coach won.

Let us be absolutely clear. If Alex Smith had been the quarterback, the 49ers would be celebrating a Super Bowl victory right now. His ability to throw accurate passes was sorely missed. Indeed, the lack of accurate passing in the first half allowed the Ravens to build an insurmountable lead that proved too big to overcome.

"This is the United States government. It's got all the guns, all the surveillance, all the tanks, it has nuclear weapons, and it's worried about some ex-surfer guy making his own money? Give me a break!"
Bernard von NotHaus was clearly outraged when he was found guilty of counterfeiting charges for minting and then distributing his own form of private money outside the government's bounds.
Von NotHaus is the creator of the Liberty
Dollar, a private currency that was issued in minted metal coins made of gold and silver.
He was once referred to as the "Rosa Parks" of the constitutional currency movement, but now he is being accused of "domestic terrorism" by the federal government after getting over $60 million of his precious metal-backed currency into circulation throughout the country.
When he was in his 30s, Von NotHaus knew nothing about economics, yet he had what he considered to be an epiphany. A self-proclaimed gold enthusiast, von NotHaus had began to buy and sell gold. "We were all sitting around thinking, 'Wow, we ought to do something with this gold.' And I said: 'Yeah, we could make coins. People love coins. We could have our own money!'".
He went on to found the Royal Hawaiian Mint – a company that produced collectible coins. In 1998, von NotHaus began to introduce the world to his fledgling currency – The Liberty Dollar. He started small by driving around with hopes of convincing small, local businesses to start to use his coins.
However, in order to make sure that the money was only being used by those who wanted to use it, a toll free number and URL were included on the currency so people could request to receive actual money in return if they wanted.
A problem arose in 2004, when a credit union caught a client trying to pass a fake coin/some of von NotHaus's currency as actual money. An investigation led to von NotHaus and in 2006, the United States Mint alerted him that his currency making the rounds was in fact considered a federal crime. After disregarding the letter, von NotHaus was eventually arrested.
The argument against him during his federal trial was that the money he produced was much too similar to actual American currency. He was found guilty by the jury and is currently awaiting sentencing while working on his book about the gold standard.

LONDON (Jun. 14)
A delegation representing organizations in England interested in assistance to refugees today submitted a memorandum to the Home Office urging modification of regulations regarding refugees and facilitation of international schemes of migration and settlement overseas. in the absence of Home Secretary Sir Samuel Hoare, the deputation was received by Sir Alexander Maxwell, Permanent Undersecretary of State, who promised the Home Secretary's sympathetic consideration for the proposals.
The delegation was headed by the Archbishop of Canterbury and included Lord Cecil, the Bishop of Chichester, Frederick Kenyon, Sir Wyndham Deeds and Otto Schiff, the memorandum urged:
1– Modification of existing practices regarding the conditions under which de facto stateless aliens live in England and British dependencies, and undergo training work and become naturalized;
2 — That the authorities not insist that those intending to immigrate to England as refugees must be able to return to Germany;
3– Application of the Geneva convention regulating refugees' legal status to those deprived of German citizenship after ratification of the convention on Feb. 10. It is agreed that nothing be done to encourage the Reich Government to disenfranchise more subjects and to make life impossible for them, but it is asserted that the constant interference of the Nazi Government with civil and religious liberty has already placed many human beings in such a position that their only chance of a tolerable existence lies in exile.
4– General understanding that the temporary permits of aliens be renewed for persons of good character on recommendation of a responsible organization, and acceptance of the principle that families are to be treated as units and that regulations should not operate to keep wives, husbands, parents and dependent children apart;
5– That the authorities recognize the Coordinating Committee for Refugees as the United Kingdom's advisory body on refugee questions.

2013 Grammys: Gotye's 'Making Mirrors' Wins Best Alternative Album
Gotye's 'Making Mirrors' has won Best Alternative Album at the 2013 Grammys. The Australian multi-instrumentalist's third album was the first to make a dent in the States.
He's up for a few other awards at the 2013 Grammys, including the coveted Record of the Year for his ubiquitous No. 1 song 'Somebody That I Used to Know,' which also won Best Pop Duo/Group Performance with duet partner Kimbra. 'Making Mirrors' is the big win for him, though. He beat Bjork, M83, Tom Waits and Fiona Apple for Best Alternative Album. Congratulations, mate, even though we'd love to have seen Apple's 'The Idler Wheel Is Wiser Than The Driver Of The Screw And Whipping Cords Will Serve You More Than Ropes Will Ever Do' plastered on that golden statue.
Record of the Year is the night's biggie. It will be announced later tonight.

Little Fockers opens at Christmas time and promises to be the most hilarious comedy threequel since Austin Powers: Goldmember. Last night they released the first trailer. Here are the jokes it includes, in chronological order:
- "I can't wait to see those little Fockers," says Greg Focker's mother in law, incorporating the title of the movie in the most realistic manner.
- Ben Stiller tries to carve the turkey, but he's not good at manly things because he's a male nurse, so he cuts himself and squirts blood all over his wife like a bukkake film I once saw. Haha, blood squirting from a wound. Classic.
- "I'm watching you," (*eye point*) Haha, remember that joke? It was really funny, they should repeat it a few more times.

Official Title: Compassionate Use of Catheter Thrombectomy (Aspirex 11F) in Patients With Massive Pulmonary Embolism
Study Population: Patients >/= 18 years of age with massive pulmonary embolism suitable for mechanical thrombectomy with Aspirex 11F.
Treatment: Aspirex 11F assisted thrombectomy
The study was terminated early. After having treated seven (7) patients, it was decided in April 2007 that the handling characteristics of the test device should be upgraded before continuing the trial as planned. Therefore, the study was long-term interrupted and finally terminated early. This decision was made by the sponsor in full accordance with the principal investigator. Further studies shall be conducted to show effectiveness and safety of the Aspirex PE catheter thrombectomy device.
Primary Endpoints:
- Thrombectomy with the Aspirex catheter device is associated with an immediate decrease in mean pulmonary artery pressure (PAP) and pulmonary vascular resistance (PVP).
- The Aspirex thrombectomy catheter does not cause perforation/dissection to treated and untreated cardiovascular structures.
Secondary Endpoints:
- Thrombectomy with the Aspirex catheter device is associated with improved flow in the treated main and lobar pulmonary arteries as assessed by the angiographic Miller index.
- There will be no significant mechanical haemolysis as assessed by plasma free haemoglobin levels.
- In-hospital mortality will not exceed 20%.
Study Design: A prospective international multicenter non-randomized registry assessing the safety and efficacy of the Aspirex 11F mechanical thrombectomy device.
Sample Size: Maximum of 50 patients
Inclusion Criteria:
- Patients with massive pulmonary embolism and cardiogenic shock with failed thrombolysis or at least contraindication for lysis.
Exclusion Criteria:
- Systemic embolism in the presence of an arterial septal defect or patent foramen ovale.
- Free floating right heart thrombi, left heart thrombi.
- Life expectancy, due to underlying disease, less than one month.

HOW many times recently have you put your hand up in order to help make our society a fair and equal one?
If the answer is no then I hope you have at least noticed any unacceptable behaviour that discriminated against disabled people because that is a start.
Only by pecking away in small ways as well as in big ones will we achieve our goal.
In the end it all boils down to two words; you have heard these words before many times but I don't apologise for saying them again because they are the key words to have at the forefront of our minds.
Attitudes and accessibility should be imprinted on our brain but actually attitudes are the key to everything because they are at the heart of equality.
This week I have experienced some really positive attitudes towards ensuring equality and I would like to recount two of them as examples.
The affect of these two cases was to make me feel really positive about the move society was making towards equality.
First was at a vet surgery that I was using for the first time where I found a step preventing me from entering on my scooter. The receptionist was not particularly helpful and gave the impression that I had to cope. Not a good start but the story gets better.
Later the practice manager rang to apologise saying that the receptionist was new that day and didn't appreciate the problem but not to worry she had measured the step and was having a ramp made ready for my visit.
Two positive outcomes; the receptionist has learned about the necessity of access for everyone and the vet has set an example of good practice in that area by providing a ramp.
No high drama, no unpleasantness just a quiet making of a point. Everyone is capable of making this sort of stand.
My second positive and heartening example was from a bus driver, passengers and an inspector on a London bus. The bus was absolutely packed when it drew up at my stop and I decided that there was no way I could get on.
I told the driver I would wait for the next one but he insisted that I got on and proceeded to marshal the passengers to give me room to get on.
This was not the end of the story though as, due to trouble with a passenger, we all had to get off and on to the following bus.
Not a message I wanted to hear but never fear the passengers were making sure that the driver was aware of my needs and ready to help. The positive attitudes raised my spirits above the inconvenience of having to change buses.
The other side of the coin though is for disabled people to ensure that they have positive attitudes too and be ready to challenge bad practice when they encounter it. Every challenge is a bonus point for equality.

JERUSALEM (Jul. 5)
The eighth Zimriya Choral Festival opened here last night under the honorary chairmanship of Knesset Speaker Yisrael Yeshayahu. Fourteen choirs from nine countries sang to a full house which included ministers and public personalities.
The Russian New Immigrants Choir began the concert with the song. "Prisoners of Zion." Eight of the singing groups had non-Jewish members.
Eighteen local choirs will join the visiting choruses in giving seven concerts in army camps, twenty-two in kibbutzim, and three in towns.

According to an article over at the Hollywood Reporter, the upcoming release of The Hobbit will be the catalyst that finally drives movie theaters to upgrade their projection hardware to 48 frames-per-second (fps) or better. The current theater playback technology supports 24fps, a standard that dates back to the 1920s; this, in-turn, was an upgrade from the 16fps that was common for earlier silent films. As video-game enthusiasts are keenly aware, a higher frame-rate reduces jitter and provides much smoother video playback, and that translates to a more immersive and realistic experience overall. And for the trivia buffs among you, the move from 16fps to 24fps was necessitated by the advent of movie audio — the original 16fps film speed moved too slowly to produce quality sound playback. (text revised per notes from our ever-vigilent readers – thanks!)
This article has been reproduced in a new format and may be missing content or contain faulty links. Contact firstname.lastname@example.com to report an issue.
In recent years, theaters have been steadily converting from celluloid-film projectors to digital projection technology, although not without serious objection from such respected industry pundits as Roger Ebert. For those locations that have already gone digital, the upgrade to 48fps will simply involve a software upgrade and modest hardware investment.
Of course, improvements to the playback capabilities also require changes to the original filming. As we saw in a previous posting here at GeekDad, Peter Jackson is using Red EPIC digital cameras to film The Hobbit. The move to high-res, high-framerate in turn creates challenges for the crew that the technically-inclined GeekDad audience will appreciate:
A huge challenge across the board is the volume of data that is required for HFRs. Oatley reported that for The Hobbit production shoots 6-12TB of camera data per day. And the shooting schedule (for both parts of the two-part film) involves 265 days of principal photography.
That amount of data means that modern film-making is a serious IT operation requiring massive data centers and an army of dwarves, er, geeks to run them.
Oh — and as if Peter Jackson and The Hobbit don't provide incentive enough for this projector upgrade, some guy named James Cameron is also pushing for the same thing in preparation for a little project of his called Avatar 2.
Head over to the Hollywood Reporter for the full story.
Just a Little More Trivia:
At the moment, video playback in most theaters is 2048×1080 at 24fps, which is pretty close to Blu-Ray's 24fps for 1920×1080 progressive-scan video. Of course, frame rate is distinctly different from refresh rate, so that "120Hz" number the salesman quoted you has nothing to do with what we're talking about here. Don't worry though — The Hobbit will look great on your home theater in 2013. And if you need to obsess about frame rates, refresh rates, and digital cinema, the Wikipedia articles serve as a good starting point.

The great tradition of West Lincoln High School wrestling added another honor to its trophy case on Sunday.
Coach Butch Ross was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame at a ceremony in Chapel Hill hosted by the Hall's North Carolina chapter on Sunday and was given the annual "Lifetime Service to Wrestling Award" for his dedication to the sport since childhood.
Ross wrestled for the Rebels from 1971-1975 and then went on to wrestle at Appalachian State University from 1975-1978. When he finished his college career he came home and began coaching at the junior high school level at what is now West Lincoln Middle School.
He took over the head coaching position at the high school in 1996, but was around the program since he was a boy.
"There's no other job that I've ever really wanted in my life," Ross said. "My Dad (Gene Ross) took me to watch wrestling at West Lincoln in 1966 when they first started the team there and I got hooked on it. The only job I ever really wanted to do was coach West Lincoln wrestling."
Ross described his father, 82, as both his biggest fan and critic.
"He comes to all of our matches and he also tells me exactly what he thinks about how we wrestle," he said. "He's been around long enough that he knows, and he can tell me if I did the right stuff or I didn't, and he doesn't mind telling me. Which is a good thing, you need that."
Ross's father roomed with Lincolnton's Steve Gabriel while he attended Appalachian State University. Gabriel wrestled and coached for the Mountaineers, and was inducted into the National Wrestling Hall of Fame with the same award Ross received.
"That's a big honor, to know that you followed somebody like that, from Lincolnton," Ross said, "who gave his life to wrestling and that is the one that caused you to get hooked on it."
Ross was also quick to acknowledge the help he's received throughout his career from the West Lincoln community. Ross and the Rebel coaching staff run the Top Dawg youth wrestling program, and said many of the young boys he coached come back to him at the high school level as young men.
"There's a whole community effort here at West Lincoln," he said. "We have great coaches at the middle school and we have the Top Dawg wrestling club that we all work in and I have great assistant coaches. We start our kids out in the Top Dawg program about five or six years old, and we continually try to improve by going to camps. And we have the wrestlers that are willing to come in here and work hard and their parents encourage and support them."
Ross said he gets unparalleled help from his daughters and their families, and his brothers and sisters, when the Rebels run the 2A Western Regional tournament and Top Dawg tournaments that draw young wrestlers from around the country.
Although he's been with the school system long enough to retire, Ross said he'll continue to coach for the foreseeable future.
"I've been blessed; I consider it a blessing that I've been able to be here this long," he said.

A Pennsylvania judge overturned the murder conviction of a man who spent 24 years behind bars.
79 year old Han Tak Lee was convicted back in 1990 for intentionally setting a fire at a Pocono Mountain retreat which killed his mentally ill daughter.
Lee's conviction was overturned this week, because a review found the science used to prove arson is now discredited.
Prosecutors say they'll appeal the decision, saying all evidence still points to Lee's guilt.
