Evolving European Discourses of Market Liberalization

« The challenges of territorial representation at the supranational level: The case of French MEPs"
Disponible sur :http://www.palgrave-journals.com/fp/journal/v11/n1/index.html
Résumé :
Even though the territorial dimension of the European representative mandate may be a key element for European Union's legitimization, it remains overlooked in academic literature. This article explores this statement by analysing the EP's French delegation, which includes several interesting features with regard to territorial representation. The article is structured around three research questions: how do French Members of the European Parliament (MEPs) deal with the territorial dimension of their mandate? Why are there some variations regarding focus of representation? To what extent does their focus of representation affect their role orientation? Relying on the results of 37 interviews with French MEPs using both closed and open-ended questions, we demonstrate that the MEPs develop a composite view of representation and display some variations in terms of focus of representation. Those variations are explained mostly through the actor's political orientations and socio-biographic characteristics. We also understand that the focus of representation has some effect on how French MEPs conceive their mandate.

Mr. Smith, who said he heard the uniform order might need to be altered to clarify that employees would not be allowed to purchase their own
cheap polo shirts, had not heard of the order being rescinded. To his understanding, the NFPA-compliant shirts had been modified with a new patch and would be "a one-time issuance."
Denise Tolliver, spokeswoman for D.C. Council member Phil Mendelson, at-large Democrat and chairman of the Judiciary Committee that has oversight of the fire department, confirmed Thursday that Mr. Mendelson's office was told the uniform order came in response to the unused shirts.A special order obtained by The Washington Times does not make specific mention to the
ralph lauren polo shirts the department already owns; rather, it outlines requirements for the shirt to fit department policy.

Please note: This video does not cover how to model the entire "mech" model,
but rather focuses on the detailed modeling of one portion. The entire mech
model is included as content however.
The videos are narrated in English and are an ideal introduction to hard surface
subdivision modeling in modo.

Sample clip from Video 01
QuickTime 4 MB
During this project we assume that you're a modeler in a studio that's just been
passed a series of drawings of an asset that needs to be built. Focusing on just
one element of the design we look at ways of quickly but accurately mapping it
out in three dimensions so the design can be tested. During this process we make
use of mesh presets for quick access to appropriate geometry and also modo's
rigging tools to ensure that the integrity of the geometry can be maintained in
extremes of movement.
Video Part 02 – Hard Surface Subdivision modeling in modo 401
Sample clip from Video 02
QuickTime 2.7 MB
In this video we investigate some fundamental techniques for turning the
stand-in object into a subdivision surface. We start by looking at a number of
techniques for joining geometry to create a clean Subdivision surface and
elaborate on the design to suggest how an object might have been manufactured
and constructed. Finally we detail the object based on how the object works
mechanically. During this process we look at how to utilize mesh presets, how to
control a Subdivision surface, how to judge mesh density and flow, and how to
effectively make holes in a Subdivision surface so that surface continuity is

EAST HARTFORD — Walking into Rentschler Field on a brisk December afternoon, the members of the UConn football team had visions of a glorious celebration in the final home game of 2012.
Little did they realize there would be a coronation, but not one in honor of the Huskies becoming bowl eligible.
It was visiting Cincinnati which got to partake in the joy of a 34-17 victory before an announced crowd of 33,112 Saturday gave the Bearcats a share of the Big East title.
"It sucks," UConn senior tight end Ryan Griffin said. "They are dumping Gatorade on their coach and it sucks."
If UConn had pulled off its second straight upset, it would have been bowl eligible for the fourth time in the last five years. Instead, the Huskies are left to ponder a second consecutive 5-7 season and plenty of rumors about the future of head coach Paul Pasqualoni and his staff.
UConn, which had not scored a touchdown in the second half of its first six Big East games, ended that streak with a much-needed 69-yard drive lasting 7:01. Lyle McCombs slithered into the end zone from 1 yard out to pull the Huskies within 21-17 with 17 seconds left in the third quarter. Johnny McEntee, who came in for an injured Chandler Whitmer for the second week in a row, was 3 of 4 for 41 yards on the drive.
However, it all unraveled from there. After Whitmer was knocked out of the game while attempting the throw the ball away in the third quarter, Griffin joined him on the sideline with a lower-body injury. Senior defensive end Trevardo Williams was limited to a handful of plays because of an ankle injury and kicker Chad Christen did not play after injuring his hip early last week in practice.
Without so many key players, the Huskies simply were not able to finish the deal.
"We were kind of working with a patchwork team," Pasqualoni said. "We were certainly far from healthy. We had guys who were playing who were banged up. They are trying to do the best they can do limping around out there." Continued...
Cincinnati was able to answer, but was forced to settle for a 38-yard field goal by Tony Miliano after Byron Jones knocked away a pass intended for Alex Chisum in the left corner of the end zone.
McEntee, who helped lift the Huskies to an overtime upset of Louisville last week to keep the Huskies' hopes of becoming bowl eligible alive, was intercepted by the Bearcats' Deven Drane on the ensuing drive. George Winn bulled his way in from 4 yards out to push the advantage to 31-17.
Cincinnati scored on its first possession of the first, second and third quarters with quarterback Brendon Kay and tight end Travis Kelce doing all the damage. Kay tossed touchdown passes of 25 and 21 yards to Kelce while Kelce hooked up with Kay for a 39-yard scoring strike.
UConn found itself in an early hole, going three-and-out on the first drive of the game. When Cincinnati got the ball, Kay carved up the Huskies' defense with three completions of more than 20 yards, including the 25-yard TD to Kelce to put the Bearcats up 7-0 less than four minutes into the game.
Cincinnati's defense stepped up when senior defensive end Dan Giordano alertly stopped his pass rush and reached up to deflect Whitmer's pass. Chris Williams made the interception and returned it to the Huskies' 39. On the next play, Kay threw a lateral to Kelce, who threw back across the field to Kay who raced in for a 39-yard touchdown to put the Bearcats ahead 14-0 with 11:20 left in the second quarter.
UConn's stagnant offense suddenly showed signs of life as Michael Smith rumbled 51 yards with a catch-and-run leading to a Bobby Puyol 40-yard field goal with 6:43 remaining in the half. Just 80 seconds later the Huskies struck again when Griffin took a pass from Whitmer at the 35, eluded a tackle at the 40 and raced in for a career-long 74-yard touchdown to pull the Huskies within 14-10.
Cincinnati had a chance to add to the lead late in the half, but after Blidi Wreh-Wilson was called for pass interference, a Sio Moore sack and Cincinnati holding penalty kept the Bearcats from scoring again.

Kanye West is reportedly placing his beautiful Los Angeles home on the market as he prepares to move in with girlfriend Kim Kardashian. Kanye's home in the Hollywood Hills is listed at $3,995,000. And, no — that sale price is not a typo, missing an extra digit.
PHOTOS: HOUSE REAL BIG: Tom Ford's $71 million London Mansion
Kanye's home comes with a modest price tag for a celebrity of his stature. Not to mention, for someone who is notoriously extravagant, this home is quite minimalist. What contrast!
PHOTOS: HOUSE REAL BIG: Amy Winehouse's London Palace Is Up For Grabs
Take a look at the photos of Kanye's home in the gallery above — they are the work of Italian designer Claudio Silvestrin, whose style is described as "… austere but not extreme, contemporary yet timeless, calming but not ascetic, strong but not intimidating, elegant but not ostentatious, simple but not soulless."
Built in 2002, the home has 3 bedrooms, 3.5 baths, built-in computers in every room, a theater, and room for a pool.
Take a look!

CD (Item 469176) Strata East/Heavenly Sweetness (France), 1974 — Condition: New Copy
A beautiful session of spiritual soul jazz – and one of the rarer albums on the legendary Strata East label! The obscure combo is led by drummer/percussionist John Betsch – and instrumentation includes guitar, piano, electric piano, and reeds – all used with plenty of warm touches, and a few sharp edges – all very much in the best Strata East mode of the time! The tracks have a soaring sort of sound – similar to some of the Keno Duke material on the label, but also touched with some trippier edges too – a great blend that really brings a lot of depth to the session, and which has made this one of our favorite Strata sides over the years. Titles include "Song For An Untitled Lady", "Ra", "Get Up & Go", and "Ode To Ethiopia". © 1996-2013, Dusty Groove, Inc. |

Geographical Indications Gateway
A geographical indication (GI) is a sign used on goods that have a specific geographical origin and possess qualities, reputation or characteristics that are essentially attributable to that origin. An appellation of origin (AO) is a special kind of GI.
GIs are protected in accordance with international treaties and national laws under a wide range of concepts, including laws specifically for the protection of GIs or AOs, trademark laws in the form of collective marks or certification marks, laws against unfair competition, consumer protection laws, or specific laws or decrees that recognize individual GIs.
This page provides a gateway to WIPO's activities, services and information in the field of GIs. These include the following:
International norms and standards
WIPO is responsible for the administration of a number of international treaties which deal partly or entirely with the protection of GIs or AOs, notably the Paris Convention for the Protection of Industrial Property (article 10 and 10ter), and the Lisbon Agreement for the Protection of Appellations of Origin and their International Registration.
WIPO works with Member States and interested organizations in the Standing Committee on the Law of Trademarks, Industrial Designs and Geographical Indications (SCT) to develop the international legal framework for GIs.
International registration
WIPO administers the Lisbon System, which was established under the Lisbon Agreement for the Protection of Appellations of Origin and their International Registration in order to facilitate the international protection of AOs. The system offers a means of obtaining protection for an AO in the contracting parties to the Lisbon Agreement through a single registration. Registrations can be searched through the Lisbon Express database.
Information and debate
WIPO runs a range of seminars and workshops, as well as international symposia, which aim to increase understanding of the use of GIs, and to help address the issues currently under debate.

With two important cases on gay rights and marriage equality slated for oral arguments in the Supreme Court next week, Americans of all stripes are participating in a national debate over this emotionally charged issue -- on the Internet, on television, in our leading newspapers and around countless dinner tables.
Despite this interest, only a handful of people will get to see these historic arguments -- those who show up to the courtroom next Tuesday and Wednesday. This is the result of the Supreme Court's longstanding policy prohibiting cameras inside the courtroom.
The court's main reason for banning cameras -- as Justices Stephen Breyer and Anthony Kennedy reminded us recently at a congressional hearing -- is there would be an increased risk the justices' questions and comments would be taken out of context and then played (and replayed) on the news or, worse yet, lampooned on "The Colbert Report."
This would be a completely valid concern if it weren't for the fact that it's happening already. As the justices well know, reporters, columnists, cartoonists and late-night comedians already extract the juiciest sound bites from oral arguments, sometimes taking them out of context and blowing them up into big stories. Indeed, such sound bites often dominate the media's coverage of the Supreme Court.
For evidence of this, look no further than Justice Antonin Scalia's remark from the court's oral argument in the case of Shelby County v. Holder. Scalia suggested the Voting Rights Act of 1965 had survived only because of the self-perpetuating power of "racial entitlements" -- a comment that generated countless news stories, editorials, op-eds and political cartoons, to say nothing of parodies on satirical shows such as "Saturday Night Live" and "The Daily Show."
Or, better yet, consider Justice Clarence Thomas' decision in January to tell a joke during oral argument -- breaking his seven-year streak of silence and, in the process, becoming front-page news. Does anyone, other than the closest court-watcher, even remember the name of that case or the issues it presented?
Or, take the constant plight of Kennedy, who commentators tend to assume is the decisive vote in each of the court's most important cases. His every question, word, sigh and hiccup becomes a key part of how cases are covered in the media, as everyone scrambles for possible clues for how Kennedy might vote. Needless to say -- and as Kennedy well knows -- such predictions are often inaccurate.
Sometimes, the focus on sound bites is entirely appropriate.
Scalia's characterization of the Voting Rights Act was offensive, and it deserved to be national news. Furthermore, it's important to report potentially revealing comments from the court's swing justice.
But more often than not, the media coverage of the court is already focused on sound bites, which sometimes get taken out of context. Therefore, the Supreme Court might as well open up and let all Americans experience the majesty of its hearings -- an experience that can be captured only by attending an argument in person or by watching an argument unfold live in one's living room or on one's laptop.

In Friday's finals, Foster led all scorers with 25 points, but the Falcons were unable to overcome an early deficit against Coldwater.
The Bulldogs prepare for its north half run after finishing in second place in the Region 2-4A tournament last week in Ecru.
Officials of the CREATE Foundation of Tupelo spent time this week updating Union County officials on the latest plans for development of an advanced vocational-technical school near the Toyota manufacturing plant.
Tis the season – the political season, that is. That means it's also the time when we get lots of questions about our policies about candidates, political advertising, letters to the editor, and the like. So here's an attempt to go over our general policies about elections and candidates.
The announcement last week that Baptist Memorial Hospital-Union County plans a major expansion is good news for our community.
It was finally Ingomar's night to shine, and it could not have happened at a better time than in the first round of the division tournament on Tuesday.
Having dropped two of three games to West Union this season, the Lady Falcons overcame a second half deficit, defeating the Lady Eagles, 44-34.
Ingomar celebrated senior night with two wins over Hickory Flat, beginning with a 56-43 victory on the girls' side. Reid Little led the Lady Falcons with 18 points, eight of which came in the first quarter that helped Ingomar build a 19-5 lead. The Lady Falcons maintained the double-digit lead throughout the game, but Brianna Reeves would bring the Lady Rebels within 10 points in the fourth quarter. Megan Roth led the Lady Rebels with 14 points, all scored in the second half, followed by 12 points from Kaitlyn Wilson.
East Union leads Union County back to the state championships in bowling after finishing first during the regional matches last week. The Urchins will travel to Jackson as the top seed after defeating West Union in the Baker's Style finals. The Eagles were in front going into the final, but East Union topped its county rival for the top seed. East Union's top bowlers for the regional match were Bailey Spruill, bowling a high game of 208, Zachary Randall with a game high of 204 and Josh Steele with a 203.

We are proud to share the Parelli horse club testimonials that come to us in the form of letters and emails and videos and comments from Parelli Members all over the world. It's so great to watch our international horse club for natural horsemanship grow into a vibrant, passionate and inspired community of horse lovers.
We invite you to read testimonials from members across the globe as they share their personal journeys and their many horse training successes using Parelli natural horse training methods, education tools and resources.
If you're inspired after what you read, we hope you'll read more about Parelli Membership and the great benefits available.
Here are just a few brief excerpts from the member testimonials we've received:
"I love everything about Parelli membership…I love it all. My membership keeps me connected, motivated and progressive. The Savvy Times is read from cover to cover then saved to read again. The DVDs inspire and teach. Parelli membership is awesome because it is a total package of opportunity."
–Linda Amick Algire – and my Morgan, Melody, South Carolina, USA
"Information and inspiration – they're the biggies I get from my Parelli membership! Thank you for all you have done for me and my horse."
–Claire Spelling and Scoobie, UK
"My Parelli membership gives me an ability to see Pat and Linda (Parelli) and learn from them at a distance, and it feels much like having a lesson with them personally. My Parelli Membership is the only way I have been able to come so far in such a short time."
–Tresie Matthies, California, USA
"Oh my gosh, what GREAT MATERIAL! This is really totally awesome! Since I've began with the Parelli program, I've never been disappointed. And with the new upgrade, my expectations are being completely satisfied way above and beyond… I can't put this material down."
–Margo Barrett, Kings Mountain, NC, USA (Gold Member)
"When people asked me about my experience with horses I used to expel a huge sigh and say, "Bucked rolled, kicked, dragged, bitten, struck, thrown, stomped, run away with and flipped." After watching a YouTube video of Parelli student Honza Blaha I was inspired by the relationship he had with his horses. His horses followed him with bright, curious eyes. They jumped, backed up, and circled him with no halter, no bridle and no saddle. They had adoring, cooperative looks, soft as puppies. All I had ever seen in horses were the looks of slaves. I could not induce my horses to stop, go or turn without food or force. Whatever this guy was doing, I wanted some of it! For the past four weeks I have been at the Parelli Center in Pagosa Springs, Colorado. It has been one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. My horse and I are more unified and connected. The communication is clearer, and the feelings of fear have been transformed to respect and understanding. Stop spinning your hooves and start living your dream. Now every day is fun, safe, exciting, progressive and, of course, natural!"
–Mary Anna Conti, Parelli Member, Illinois, USA

Juarez Dam No Longer a Danger to El Paso
By Marco Grajeda
Las Cruces, NM – During last year's torrential flooding in El Paso, a major concern for area residents was a water dam in the neighboring city of Juarez, which threatened to burst and inundate the city's downtown region. As KRWG's Marco Grajeda reports, according to the U.S. section of the International Boundary and Water Commission residents do not have to worry about the dam any longer.

Antwerp - Pietas by Jan Fabre
25 May - 23 September 2012
The city of Antwerp will present the exhibition PIETAS JAN FABRE. Created by Jan Fabre in 2011, this marble sculptural suite was featured for the first time during the 54th Venice Biennale, where it occupied the prestigious Nuova Scuola Grande di Santa Maria della Misericordia. In the artist's home city of Antwerp, PIETAS will be the first exhibition to be held in the renovated Parkloods in Park Spoor Noord.
In PIETAS, created in 2011, Fabre's five white marble sculptures describe variations on the theme of the Pietà, the iconic image of Mary cradling the dead body of her son Jesus in her arms. Fabre's interpretation presents concepts such as grief and acceptance, death and rebirth as well as man's capacity for imagination, inventiveness and art. As was the case in the 'Anthropology of a Planet' (2007) and 'From the Feet to the Brain' (2008-2009) exhibitions, the brain also plays a key role in this work. 'Pietà I-IV' are large brain sculptures that figure as a base-world-cosmos for a range of naturalist and Christian symbolic systems. In the manner of mile poles or stations of the cross, the four brain-sculptures compel viewers along the path to the exhibition's apotheosis: the 'Merciful Dream (Pietà V)'. In this impressive piece, a challenging interpretation of Michelangelo's iconic work, Fabre puts himself in the place of the Christ figure, and replaces Mary's face with a skull. The four brain sculptures and the reinterpretation of Michelangelo's 'Piëta' are rendered in white Carrara marble and placed in geometrical orientation on a platform covered in 24-carat gold leaf. Hung around them are the 'Cocoon I-X' amulets, covered in shiny green jewel beetle shields.

LOS ANGELES - Mel Gibson's stepmother wants a judge to issue a stay-away order against him, alleging in court papers filed today the actor 22 years her junior has "sunken to new lows over the past year by committing several acts of domestic violence" against her.
Teddy Joye Hicks Gibson, who was married to the actor's father John Hutton Gibson in 2001, filed her petition for a restraining order against the "Braveheart" star in Los Angeles Superior Court.
"Mel's bullying of this soon-to-be octogenarian is deeply disturbing given that she has been a loving and loyal spouse to Mel's father ... for over a decade," the petition states.
Representatives for Gibson could not be reached for immediate comment.
The petition accuses Gibson of screaming at his stepmother after she she spoke up against his preference for ozone treatments for his 93-year-old father's various illnesses.
"Now Mel has sunken to new lows over the last year by committing several acts of domestic violence against his 78-year-old stepmother," the petition states.
In January, she and Gibson were sitting in a hospital room visiting her husband when the actor stood up and began yelling at her, according to the court document.
"I was frozen in terror based on the way that Mel suddenly snapped at me and was flailing his arms around," she said, according to the document.
Gibson's father filed for divorce on June 1 and the petitioner puts part of the blame on her stepson.
"For reasons that Joye
The woman says in a sworn statement that she has "a lot of questions about Hutton's filing of divorce against me and need to speak directly to my husband without Mel's interference so that I can make sure both that he is OK and not being manipulated by Mel or into a course of action he does not wish to take."
A hearing on the woman's petition is scheduled for July 25.

Guys, I bought this expecting a lot. Probably gave more weight to the fact that it was a multi-use shaver. The crux of the matter is it's not at all powerful. I spend more time using this shaver on a stubble for a "far-from-a" perfect shave than I used to spend using my Mach 3 for a "Perfect shave" on a week long beard. The irony is I bough this to save time!!!
I would advice people to go for a more powerful shaver (not necessarily a mulch-purpose one).
For me, it's money down the drain!
Although I was addicted to using Mach's from past 10-12 years, this being my first electric razor I am very happy with its performance. Just recd mine through FlipKart yesterday and used it last night. It gives such a wonderful clean shave. Neck and chin areas you need to devote a minute or two extra but apart from that it is as good a s a mach 3. Just a bit noisy though.
Will definitely recommend this to a friend.
I bought it for Rs 4700 2yrs back.... and i got irritated on the very 4th mnth... trimmer is not efficient at all.... I used to took approx 25 mins. to trim every beard hair properly but still not evenly done... shaving is great here... and on 1yr mark it went off i sent to service center and after they got done with this after 7months again it went wrong... its pathetic experience with this trimmer.. DO NOT BUY THIS... and i now moved on to philips and its great....
i didn't like it all.i could have bought a phillips product at a much lower price doing the same thing.This product feels like a old product in new packaging.remember the 90's phillips shavers, this almost does the same thing.i think braun can be better than this.right now i feel they are somehow disconnected with the demands of the indian costumers

Walt's Best Songs To Get You Out Of A Funk
by Walt Gray
posted May 15 2013 4:25PM
Midnight Confessions; The Grass Roots
. This classic is a fast cure. Makes me think of summertime and friends long ago.
Midnight Blue; Lou Gramm from Foreigner
. I swear I'm not on a "midnight" theme but this is also an upbeat peppy thing.
Beans and Cornbread. Louis Jordan and the Tympany Five
. A battle at the dinner table in the deep south featuring Beans vs. Cornbread. Old school at it's best. If you like this 1949 "jump swing" hit, you'll love "Saturday night fish fry!"
Carolina in my mind; James Taylor
. I've had some great times at my buddy Tom's place in Laurel Springs, NC. So much so that i bought a small piece of ground there. North Carolina is strikingly beautiful....much like California only more lush. Thinking of Carolina is always a cure.
Good Riddance; Green Day.
We play this a fair amount on the Eagle. I've heard it many times and it doesn't get old. "I hope you had the time of your life". This song was matched to video as a going away for the original owners of KCRA when they sold in 2000. It floods me with wonderful emotion about that time in my career.
Is there one song that gets you back on track? What is it?

Walt's Best, no, WORST TV Moms, ever
by Walt Gray
posted May 8 2013 12:30PM
Kate Gosselin; "Jon and Kate Plus 8
". I have to admit, i think she's hot until she starts talking. She has a one-track mind...it's all about her. What are these kids going to end up being like with cameras following them around is all they know? Kate complains all the time. It's grating...but we watch.
Betty Draper; "Mad Men
". She takes her cue from Joan Crawford. She may be the worst Mom ever. Threatening to cut off her daughter's finger? Throwing her son in the closet after he was caught smoking? (she chain smokes).
Wilma Flintstone
Jane Jetson
(tie). Wilma was always leaving Pebbles and Bam Bam alone in the rock house. Dino was the babysitter! Jane Jetson had a robot for a maid! She wasn't in the show much...my suspicion is that she was trying to pleasure Mr. Spacely to give George a raise!
Peg Bundy; "Married...with Children"
She didn't cook or clean and was a bad wife and didn't care. She had no ambition and no job. She raised two brats by her fine example. She was created to be one of the worst TV Moms ever, and was.
Mrs. Estelle Costanza; "Seinfeld"
. My God, she was awful...she just badgered her son George to death. She delivered one of the best lines I've ever heard when she caught George "pleasuring" himself. She told her husband that George "was treating his body like an amusement park!" Awesome.
Those are my top five worst TV Moms of all time. Yours?
Walt's Best, Underrated Rolling Stones Songs
by Walt Gray
posted May 1 2013 2:37PM
*Paint it Black.
1968. "Aftermath" album. The first #1 single to feature a sitar. I was living in India at the time and music there is all about the sitar. Still brings back great memories of that time for me when i hear it.
*Rocks Off.
1972. "Exile on Main Street" album. Pure rock song with a great horn section. It's like listening to a tailgate party on a '45 single.
*Wild Horses.
1971. "Sticky Fingers" album. Only reached #28 on Billboard that year, but Mick's ex-wife Jerry Hall says it's her fave Stones hit.
*Sympathy for the Devil.
1968. "Beggars Banquet" album. The history of mainkind from Lucifer's point of view. It was written right after Robert F Kennedy was shot..which was right after Dr King was shot and four years after JFK was shot. I was wondering myself if the USA was turning into target practice for anyone willing to say anything.
*Time waits for no one.
1974. "It's only rock and roll" album. This song has never been done live, nor should it without Mick Taylor. This was the final album with Taylor as his lack of credit for writing the song was one of the last straws to him leaving.

Walt's Best Sacramento Kings Moments
by Walt Gray
posted Apr 17 2013 4:17PM
. My first week in Sacramento, and covering the team at the first Arco Arena.. I went into the Kings lockerroom and up to Reggie Theus. He said "hey, it's the new face in town". I always remembered that act of kindness. He's always been my favorite Kings for his exploits on...and off the court! Great tennis player too.
Gregg Lukenbill takes me on a sky walking tour of the new Arco arena being built. We end up on a catwalk about 100' up over all the beams and just a shell of the place. I am not good with heights, but Gregg figured i had a hard hat on so what could go wrong? I got to see places of Arco i didn't care too.
*1996 Playoffs.
Game three vs. Seattle. The Kings had won game two in Seattle to even the series at one each. It was the first home playoff game at Arco in ten years. When the Kings came out of the lockerroom for warmups with "the boys are back in town" playing.... the place went crazy. Like crazy crazy. Fans stood and completely screamed their lungs out during pregame. I was in the stands as a fan, and we all looked at each other with "we need to save something for when the game actually starts". Kings lost the game and the series, but that night was my #1 moment.
Jerry Reynolds jumps up to beef a refs call and passes out right in front of me at the scorers table. Blaine Reichelt whistles him for a technical foul for his histrionics, then recinds the call when he realizes Jerry might be dead. Medics ran out and Jerry wakes up. Turns out Jerry had been on a new diet and hadn't eaten...and that was all it was.
*2002 playoffs vs Lakers.
Peja airball. I felt Peja was a better regular season performer than in the hot lights of the playoffs. The biggest shot of his life turned out to be an airball. It came with 11 seconds left to go in game seven against the Lakers with the Kings down 99-98. It's a shot Peja hits in his sleep...in the regular season. The Kings went on to lose game seven in overtime, and their best chance to win an NBA title.

Walt's List Of Most Influential Local Media
by Morning Show Blog
posted Apr 16 2013 8:30PM
*Elliott Troshinsky, General Manager, KCRA-TV
A salesman by trade, Troshinsky runs the most watched television station in the region and has the responsibility to keep a dominant station evolving while not blowing up too much of what's working. It's not as easy guiding a highly watched station as one might think. The Kelly family of Sacramento owned and grew KCRA from the 1950's until the sale to Hearst Company in 2000. Troshinsky has the final say in selecting news management and is ultimately responsible for what we viewers watch on KCRA's local newscasts. KCRA has not lost a 5pm/6pm newscast during ratings since 1998. You must change with the times...but if you're dominant, how much DO you change?
*Cheryl Dell, Publisher, The Sacramento Bee.
If you think "nobody reads the papers anymore" just do something wrong and it ends up in the BEE.....your neighbor will find it. The BEE still has a circulation of 280,000 people, and 325,000 on Sunday. All local TV and radio stations peruse the morning BEE to see what they'll be covering that day. All major newspapers have less readership, but then again, erosion has affected TV News in an alarming way too. The BEE is still the ledger of record in this town...and the fifth largest newspaper in California.
*Marcos Breton, Columnist, The Sacramento Bee.
The wordsmith of the city. Every paper has a go-to guy who speaks either to...or for the city. Breton has evolved into this role as the Bee's soul. He usually speaks up for the downtrodden and those affected by immigration issues. He also doubles as a crisp sports columnist.
If he doesn't like you, you're toast. See Fargo, Heather or the Maloof family for details.
*Jeff VonKaenel, Publisher, Sacramento News&Review.
The anti-Bee weekly paper, the N&R is free and with a weekly circulation of 74,000. Every coffee shop and midtown eatery has copies laying about. The N&R does a nice job with layout and going underground to investigate stories. Block out at least an hour to get through it.... if you don't mind the seemingly endless adds for massage parlors and tattoo houses. They are, in many ways preaching to a liberal choir but it seems their readers wants to read it anyway.
*Doug Elmets, Elmets Communications.
KCRA-TV uses Elmets frequently as a commentator to dissect political situations and elections. All that while Elmets holds down his day job as a communications whiz AND being the advisor to area Indian Casinos. He's got his hands in a lot of pies. You could see him on TV one night defending something done at Thunder Valley casino, and the next morning appearing in the KCRA newsroom talking about Reaganomics or "why Iowa went heavy for Hillary". Are the lines blurred here? It's nice to be that glib and in demand.
He's smart and a great sense of humor.

Walt's Best Ideas To Entertain Kids
by Walt Gray
posted Apr 10 2013 4:11PM
; Land Park Sacramento. Old school mini-amusement park with a log flume ride, roller coaster and flying planes. Can't beat it for the under ten year olds. Plan a picnic before or after because you're right at the park. Next door is the Sacramento Zoo and Fairytale town. You could kill the whole day in one spot. Dad could even get in nine holes while Mom sweats the kids by herself! Or not.
"The California Museum"
, 10th and O Sacramento. There are so many great museums in the city, but this is one i think alot of folks miss. Sure, we take our relatives to Old Sac, The railroad museum and the State Capitol building, but this is a museum with great history about our state. Make this one a stop with the kids the next time you want to try something new. Better suited for kids 8 and up. Other great stops include the Aerospace museum at McClellan Park and the Marshall Gold discovery site in Coloma.
3. Bouncing. Yes, bouncing. Nothing wears the little darlings out better than a trip to one of the many bounce spots in greater Sacramento. Spend 2-3 hours bouncing, and they're sure to pass out on the way home. Our fave spots are the
"Bounce spot"
in West Sac,
"Laguna's awesome party spot"
in Elk Grove and
"Sky High"
in Rancho Cordova (trampolines aplenty). These places are a gold mine in the winter to get out of the rain, and in the summer to escape the heat.
River Cats Baseball.
The area's affordable sports entertainment venue that's family friendly. Of course they have bounce houses for the kids. Lawn seating is available for families that want to set up lawn chairs or throw down a blanket. My kids are good for about 4-5 innings or until i'm broke from buying chicken strips and dinger dogs.
5. Indoor skating. Great to get out of the rain or away from the sun. We've hit
in Roseville for a couple of birthday parties for ice skating. My kids are always trying to get me to take them to
"The Rink"
at Bradshaw and Highway 50 for roller skating and/or to
"Sunrise Roller land"
in Citrus Heights. They fall a hundred times but keep getting up for more!
Have i missed any? Suggestions? Thanks! -Walt

Walt's Best MLB Characters: favorite A's & Giants
by Walt Gray
posted Apr 3 2013 2:50PM
Vida BLUE
; A's and Giants. I met Vida the day he reported to KC in April 1982 after being traded by SF. I remember standing on an empty field interviewing him and thinking "omg..this is Vida Blue". I was working in Ft Myers, Florida where the Royals had spring training...and we hooked up for some beverages that night at Raffles Bar. He told me stories about how A's owner Charlie Finley wanted him to legally change his name to "True Blue" and how Charlie's donkey would crap all over the infield during batting practice. Vida later moved to Sonora, CA and we kept in touch during my sports days at KCRA.
Dennis ECKERSLEY
A's. The classiest interview ever. I had to interview him right after the A's demoted him to the bullpen in Spring Training '88. He wasn't happy about it. He went on to become the most dominant ninth inning guy i've ever seen. His best "stand up guy" moment was in the World Series that same year, right after he gave up the iconic homer to Kirk Gibson. Eck didn't hide in the shower. He stood in front of his stall and calmly addressed us on how that was the "wrong pitch" to throw to a hobbled Gibson and how the loss was totally on him. He owned the moment, and it was a big one. Classy.
Dave HENDERSON
A's. He flashed that gap-toothed grin constantly on and off the field and engaged with fans in between pitches. It was like he was drinking in every moment he had as a player, knowing it wouldn't last. I've never seen a player who had more fun. "Hendu" had a solid MLB career as a player and he made all of us beleive he enjoyed every minute.
Will CLARK
GIANTS. Thrill was a tough interview because he like to use the word that rhymes with "duck" a lot. A total leader on the field and off. He wasn't easy to get on camera unless Kristine Hanson of KCRA did the interview. We understood.
Rickey HENDERSON
A's. Most interviews were a challenge with Rickey, becuase he was hard to understand and he referred to himself as Rickey in the third person. "Rickey will not play for that amount of money because Rickey is worth more" said Rickey. I think that's what he said. He was really from Mars.

Walt's Best Local TV News Anchors
by Walt Gray
posted Mar 21 2013 10:33AM
My Top Five Local TV News Anchors. Criteria includes market longevity and field reporting skills (names interchangable)
*Edie Lambert KCRA 3.
The lead station's most tenured news anchor who knows the value of community work.
A true passion for getting stories right. One of the markets best reporters for years when she was out in the field starting in 1995. She can write/report/anchor/go live in the field. She cares about the product and the people watching.
*Cristina Mendonsa KXTV 10.
Steady star quality and the face of the local ABC station since she started in 1995. Viewers often remark about the twinkle in her eye. Great fashion sense. Is the equal of any on the anchor desk but hasn't worked a regular reporter shift except for special assignments. Would be a star in any city. News10 is lucky she's stuck around.
*Deirdre Fitzpatrick KCRA 3
An Emmy winner as best anchor in the Sacramento AND San Francisco markets. Fitz has a great journalistic background from the U. of Missouri. Can write with the best of any network reporter. She's a mainstay of the station's Olympic coverage from anywhere in the world.
The only downside to her being tethered to the morning anchor desk is we don't see her live reporting on the evening newscasts. She's been at KCRA since '97.
*Sam Shane KOVR 13
A true veteran of broadcast journalism who's probably the most experienced anchor...and reporter in the market.
A standout at KCRA who after a stint at KGO/San Francisco became a daytime fixture as a news anchor on MSNBC.
He has the look and polish (and voice) of what news management calls a "command anchor". I think he's one the best reporters in the country. If he'd chosen that path, I have no doubt he'd be on 60 Minutes.
*Chris Riva KCRA 3. Why? He's the market's "Mr. Versatile". His regular week includes anchoring the weekend evening newscasts AND reporting on breaking news during the weekdays AND anchoring sportscasts when Del Rogers is off AND handling sports field reporting as well. He could be covering a live pot bust in El Dorado County one day AND the local prep baseball playoffs the next. He could probably do a weather forecast too.
Those are my top five and why. Your thoughts?

Walt's Best St. Patty's Day Hangouts
by Walt Gray
posted Mar 13 2013 12:03PM
St. Patty's day falls on a Sunday this year. Bummer for businesses that prefer it on a weekday. Maybe an act of Congress can move the holiday to the third Friday in March so it's guaranteed to stimulate the economy? My top places to go this weekend to celebrate St. Patrick's.
Old Sacramento
. The 17th annual Old Sac St. Patty's parade starts at 1pm on Saturday. 60 marching units and 1000 members. It's free! After the parade, make sure you hit O'Mally's Irish pub for some beverages. The blue cheeseburger with bacon is worth the stop anytime.
Boxing Donkey Irish Pub
, 300 Lincoln in Roseville. They start serving on St Patty's day at 6am! Live music all day. This place has become a destination spot for all of Roseville/Rocklin/Granite Bay. The Schubert family knows how to run a pub.
. Old town Roseville is getting a bunch of pubs together.. check it out!
DeVere's Irish Pub
, 1531 L St Sacramento. What a true Irish pub run by real Irish! This spot has become a true destination for all who haunt downtown. The beer selection is excellent, and the food is authentic irish. Try the beef stew and the lamb sliders. Deelish.
Bonn Lair Pub
, 3651 J St Sacramento. Great neighborhood bar with excellent stouts. Like any St Pat's destination, get your bowl full of corned beef and cabbage.l
Gallagher's Irish Pub
, 1201 K St Sacramento. One of the old time downtown pubs that moved to a new location a few years back. They boast 30 single malt Irish and Scotch whiskeys avail.
Other St. Pat's hot spots;
East Sacramento-Club 2-Me, Chargins and Pine Cove.
Land Park area-Jamie's and Riverside Clubhouse.
Auburn-the Power Club.
Those are my reccomendations for this weekend. Got any hot spots i don't know about yet?

My wife and I have just put in a new paver patio and severely underestimated how high our lawn was. We put the paver stones in level with the sidewalk, but where they go across (4 foot section) and meet with the lawn it is about 4 inches higher in spots (It slopes towards the sidewalk). I am trying to figure out how to make it more of a grade so it's not so much of a tripping hazard. I have attached a couple of photos for reference. | |||
Here is the entire patio area | ||||
I had exactly the same problem two weeks ago. I scraped the lawn back to make it a more gradual bank downward to the pavers. I saved the sod and replanted it. Nothing is easy is it? | ||||
I wasn't able to view your pictures, but, from what you describe it sounds similar to a situation that Mike Holmes encountered on one of his shows. The Holmes scenario was with a new asphalt driveway where the level of the grass was significantly higher than the level of the drive at the edge. Rather than scrape off the top level of the grass, Mike sliced out dirt under the grass roots and pushed the grass down so it sloped to the asphalt. | ||||
That is basically what I did. Removed the sod and sloped the dirt under and replaced the sod. Worked fine. | ||||
it looks nice, you and your wife did good job....thumbs up!!This message has been edited. Last edited by: Magdalene123, | ||||

Review the commentary and live analysis of Sunday's N.F.C. championship game between the San Francisco 49ers and the Atlanta Falcons from the Georgia Dome. The Falcons raced to an early lead for the second week in a row, but for the second straight week let it slip away. This time, there was no escape, and the 49ers rallied to claim a 28-24 victory. Read on for live commentary and analysis as it happened, and share your thoughts in the comments.
6:23 P.M. 49ers Are Headed to New Orleans
6:05 P.M. The Niners Day Has Come
The San Francisco 49ers advanced to the Super Bowl for the first time since the days of Steve Young, Jerry Rice and Deion Sanders on Sunday with a 28-24 victory over the Falcons.
Beaten by the Giants in overtime in the championship game last season, the 49ers appeared headed for the same fate in the first half as the Falcons raced to a 17-0 lead behind two touchdown catches by Julio Jones. But the 49ers, who routed the Packers last week and were not at their best Sunday, found a way back.
Colin Kaepernick, the second-year quarterback who broke a playoff rushing record last week, led the comeback, but not with his legs. He let running backs Frank Gore (two touchdowns) and LaMichael James (one) do the running and repeatedly found tight end Vernon Davis in gaps in the Atlanta defense.
Matt Ryan was dominant for the Falcons in the first half, passing for nearly 300 yards. But Atlanta blew a lead for the second week in a row. Unlike last week, when they let a 20-0 advantage slip away but rallied in the final minute for a winning field goal to eliminate the Seattle Seahawks, the Falcons saw their luck run out. Driving toward a potential winning score in the final minutes, the Falcons got to the 10-yard line before 's fourth-down pass to Roddy White was slapped away.
The 49ers will face the A.F.C. champion, the Baltimore Ravens or the New England Patriots, in Super Bowl XLVII in New Orleans in two weeks.
6:02 P.M. Last Chance
Falcons at their 41. And Ryan trots out with what looks like a separated left shoulder.
He lofts a ball that is caught by Jones about 20 yards downfield, but he goes down and the clock hits zero. That's it!
The 49ers are going to the Super Bowl!!! Final score: 49ers 28, Falcons 24.
6:00 P.M. Or Not. the Falcons Will Get the Ball Back
Gore gets some breathing room for his punter, Andy Lee, but the Falcons have used their timeouts well.
With 13 seconds left, the 49ers call their last timeout. Gotta make sure of protection here. With Lee punting from near the goal line, the Falcons should be coming.
5:55 P.M. Fourth-and-4
Ryan's pass to White at the marker … is BROKEN UP!!!
White was getting manhandled by Bowman, who reached up and knocked the pass down with 1:09 left.it's tough to get the call there, especially when he threw it to the defender's side, not out in front of White where Bowman would have had to go through him more obviously.
The Niners can taste it. Just handoffs and timeouts and it's theirs.
5:54 P.M. Five yards for Snelling, and a thumping for Ryan
Brooks hit Ryan after he threw and then landed on him and his left shoulder. He's wincing.
5:53 P.M. Watch the Plays, and the Clock
Harbaugh has to start using his timeouts after the two minute warning. Atlanta will drain the clock if they can.
5:50 P.M. Two-Minute Warning: Strength on Strength
Falcons facing second-and-9 on the 49ers 15. Remember: a field goal won't do it here. Down by 4, they'll need to score a touchdown.
Isn't this a great day? And there's still Ravens-Patriots left.
5:48 P.M. It's a Catch
Which is great news for the Falcons and sends Harbaugh into a fury. But no one talks about how he fell when he could have taken a free ball a long way.
Still, huge call with less than four minutes left in a 4-point game.
5:45 P.M. Oh What Might Have Been
Ryan, scrambling, finds Harry Douglas behind his man on the right side. But as the pass hangs in the air, Douglas trips over Manti Te'o's girlfriend and falls as he makes the catch. He does this right in front of the 49ers coaches, who scream that the ball hit the turf.
They challenge. Waiting ….
5:35 P.M. Gore — TOUCHDOWN!!! 49ers Lead at Last
What appeared to be confusion before the snap was in fact a great read by Kaepernick, who stuffs the ball into Gore's belly and watches him race untouched — just as James did on the first score — into the end zone over the right side.
That was so easy you'd have thought Gore was a tight end.
49ers 28, Falcons 24. Atlanta's 17-0 lead seems like weeks ago.
5:33 P.M. That Crabtree Fumble May Still Pay Off
A short punt gives the ball to the 49ers in Falcons territory, and they quickly push it inside the 20 behind Gore, Dixon and James. A stepback throw out wide to Crabtree gets 8 more.
First and goal now.
5:29 P.M. Not the Game You Expected?
It's been good. Just not really what everyone expected, especially from the Niners.
Strange game. Through three quarters, the quarterback who rushed for 181 yards last week has one designed run for minus-2 yards.
5:27 P.M. No Harm, No Foul, No Touchdown
The 49ers come agonizingly close to making Ryan pay for his fumble, but Michael Crabtree — leaning for the goal line — has the ball torn out of his hands by Dunta Robinson at the 1.
Dodging a blow, the Falcons now will try to get it out of there.
5:29 P.M. Missed Opportunities
5:24 P.M. Ryan Under Fire
5:16 P.M. FUMBLE! Back to back turnovers for Ryan
Sneaking a peek downfield out of the shotgun, he ls to catch the snap. Instead, he drops it right into the path of Aldon Smith, and while they wrestle for it, there's no way Ryan's winning there. The 49ers take over at their 37 with less than a minute left in the quarter.
Unforced error. And a big one.
5:15 P.M. You'll Notice the Falcons Keep Throwing
Not having Turner is part of that, to be sure, but they also know that the scoring in this game is far from over, so they'll need to keep their foot on the gas.
5:11 P.M. Rodgers for 7 Yards and Snelling for 12. Hmmmm.
And that's notable because there's no Michael Turner. He's hobbling around the sideline on a bad ankle. The Falcons say his return is questionable.
Ruh roh.
5:08 P.M. Akers Tries From 38 ….
DONNNNKKKK!! His kick slams into the left upright so loudly that you can hear it over the crowd. No good. So Ryan's mistake doesn't prove costly, and the 49ers fail to pull even.
Asante Samuel talked smack to Akers from the moment he walked on the field. Then, did a dance that I literally cannot describe after miss.
Samuel talks trash to everyone, Sam noticed the other day.
5:12 P.M. Niners' Davis Becoming a Favorite Target
5:07 P.M. 31-Yard Pass to Davis
That puts him over 100 yards receiving, joining the Falcons' Julio Jones. Guess they don't follow tanier on Twitter.
Here's the Wiklpedia entry on "tight end" so the Falcons can study up at halftime. http://t.co/42KZKLvI
— Michael Tanier (@MikeTanier) 20 Jan 13
5:04 P.M. Interception — Our First Turnover
Just as I was thinking how clean this game has been, Chris Culliver jumps in front of Roddy White to pick off an underthrown Ryan pass with 7:38 left in the third quarter.
Big moment? We'll see soon.
5:01 P.M. Until the Niners Lay a Glove on Ryan …
.. there's absolutely no reason for the Falcons to stop throwing.
4:58 P.M. Watch the Play Calls, but Also the Execution
The Falcons were criticized for playing it safe last week, but did they? If they stop looking for midrange and deep balls, and settle for runs and screens and quick outs, that's a fair complaint. But given the way Ryan played in the first half, and how badly the 49ers struggled to cover White-Jones-Gonzalez, Koetter would have to be a fool to play it safe this early. Unless he somehow taught the defense how to cover Davis and tackle everyone else during halftime.
4:53 P.M. Methodical, Efficient, TOUCHDOWN!!!
A 20-yard ball to Walker and another one to Moss — in front of Atlanta's backpedaling safeties — set up a 5-yard run by Gore. TOUCHDOWN!!
San Francisco's decision to defer and take the ball to start the second half pays off perfect. They're back to 3 behind, at 24-21. But they've got their mojo back, too.
4:46 P.M. 49ers Ball to Start Third Quarter
First play is a 21-yard pass to Randy Moss. Aikman notes he was open "because of how much respect he gets, even at his age."
I'm more inclined to think the Falcons forgot about him.
4:41 P.M. Remember When This Game Was Over Early?
Missed this during first half.
Maybe it's time to warm up Alex Smith.
— Pete Prisco (@PriscoCBS) January 20, 2013
Relax, he was joking.
4:39 P.M. Kaepernick Settles Down
Halftime Falcons 24, 49ers 14
Great half, especially for Matt Ryan, who was 18 of 24 for 271 with 3 touchdowns. But also for Julio Jones (two scores), Vernon Davis and the error-free Kaepernick. But it's Ryan's game to lose right now, and that's all the Falcons can ask for.
Matt Ryan can't get it done in the playoffs except for when he does. In all other instances, he's a bum.
4:28 P.M. There It Is — GONZALEZ, TOUCHDOWN!!
Still no pressure on Ryan, he drops back, looks, looks — and finds Gonzalez down the middle with Patrick Willis trailing a step behind — TOUCHDOWN!!!! Falcons 24, 49ers 14 with 25 seconds left.
Hard to overstate how important that drive — and that score — might be for the Falcons as they head into halftime. After blowing another big early lead, they really needed that. Plus, it takes some of the wind out of the 49ers' sail.
4:26 P.M. Still Moving ….
A catch by White on the sideline, another by Jones on the left, and the Falcons are at the 16.
San Francisco calls time with 37 seconds left to compose itself.
4:29 P.M. Niners Not Dead Yet
4:24 P.M. Good Response by Ryan Here
Running the two-minute drill, he responds to the 49ers' touchdown with two quick completions that push the ball into San Francisco territory.
4:19 P.M. Davis Is the New Jones — TOUCHDOWN!!
A simple roll off the right end of the line leaves him open on the right — TOUCHDOWN!! That 17-0 lead we had one play into this quarter? Yeah, it's gone. Falcons 17, 49ers 14.
Everyone in the Georgia Dome is thinking about the lead the Falcons blew last week. The words Mike Smith chooses at halftime will be very important.
4:15 P.M. Now It's the Falcons Who Need to Pull It Together
Kaepernick scrambles for 21 yards (notable: he slid at the end, rather than take the tackler head on) and then the Falcons get a 15-yard penalty for some shoving after the whistle. Kaepernick finds Davis (3 catches, 71 yards) down the right sideline to the 4, and suddenly that big lead is in danger as we pause for the two-minute warning.
The 49ers really regained their footing with that long scoring drive. They're back to their freewheeling selves and they still have Kaepernick's legs in reserve. His last scramble, his first run of the day, came more than 26 minutes into the game.
Think how awesome the Falcons would be if games were 20 minutes long and tight ends were ineligible receivers.
4:10 P.M. Davis on the Drive
That was a solid series for Vernon Davis. Big catch for 27 yards and important block on James TD run.
— Sam Borden (@SamBorden) 20 Jan 13
Zach Miller last week, Vernon Davis this week — Falcons just don't have anyone who can cover the tight end.
4:07 P.M. Just What the Niners Needed
That last drive was 11 plays, 80 yards, 6 minutes 46 seconds. Exactly what the Niners needed — a chance to rest their defense and build a little confidence.
Now they stop the Falcons on third down and will get the ball back.
4:02 P.M. There Goes the Shutout — TOUCHDOWN!! James!
No matter about Crabtree's catch. LaMichael James takes a handoff, cuts inside behind a great block from Davis on the right edge, and sprints into the end zone. Goodness he looked fast there.
And the 49ers are on the board — Falcons 17, 49ers 7 with 8:08 left in the first half.
3:59 P.M. The Perils of Youth
Kaepernick takes a delay penalty on third-and-2 at the Falcons 37. Bad mistake.
But he makes up for it right away with a 27-yard pass to Vernon Davis, who got himself lost coming off the line. First down at the 18.
Kaepernick finds Crabtree deep in the corner of the end zone, but by throwing it high he doesn't let Crabtree have enough room to come down with it inbounds.
4:02 P.M. Nowhere to Run Early for Niners
3:58 P.M. Keeping the Pistol in the Holster?
Five minutes into the second quarter Kaepernick has not run the ball yet. Hasn't had many chance, true, but still …..
3:51 P.M. Too Hard for the 49ers So Far?
Sure the Falcons lead by 17-0 one play into the second quarter, but there's a growing consensus among our guys on Twitter that this isn't over.
Way too much time and SF offense way too explosive to think this is close to over. ATL off/def plays conservatively with lead, too.
— Chase Stuart (@fbgchase) 20 Jan 13
With 45 mins left and 2 extra possessions, a 17-point lead is not a huge deal.
— Chase Stuart (@fbgchase) 20 Jan 13
Sam Borden saw this show last week. Here's his quick review:
Feel like we've seen this bit before from the Falcons — big question: What happens after the first 30 minutes?
— Sam Borden (@SamBorden) 20 Jan 13
I agree with Sam, and remember: the Falcons nearly kicked away a 20-0 lead and their spot in this game by going conservative last week against the Seahawks. But still, you can't help feeling the 49ers, with a playoff rookie at quarterback, are teetering at the moment.
3:58 P.M. A Little Warning Would've Been Nice
3:45 P.M. Jones AGAIN — TOUCHDOWN!!!!
Ryan lofts a ball deep to the left corner of the end zone for Jones, who — of course — catches it over Tarell Brown. Perfect throw. Perfect catch. 17-0 lead.
Jones on pace for 400 yards, 8 touchdowns today. Sadly, fantasy football season is long over.
3:41 P.M. This Is the Time on Shprockets When We Run
Having softened up the deep middle with Jones, White and Gonzalez, the Falcons open this drive with two runs by Michael Turner — and they gain 14 yards. Falcons offensive coordinator Dirk Koetter also in line for a game ball right now.
love the game dirk koetter is calling. working the middle of the field, exploiting sf's safeties.
Incredible how much better of an OC Dirk Koetter is this year with Matt Ryan and crew vs. last year in Jacksonville.
End of the first quarter: Falcons 10, 49ers 0
3:38 P.M. Ouch!
Jim Harbaugh with the classic "well that's not how that was supposed to work" face.
3:33 P.M. 49ers Have Some Splaining to Do
Outgained by 145-1 so far, the 49ers have a lot to talk about. Having the offense get a first down wouldn't hurt, but the real screaming will be done by the defensive coaches. The front four just isn't getting the job done — no pressure on Ryan at all so far — and the secondary's penchant for trying to make big plays and big hits has led them to guess wrong a couple times.
San Francisco needs to impose its will a bit on the Falcons, and if the defense can't do it soon it could be a long day. Every second this goes on — the Falcons just sacked Kaepernick on third-and-4 — the crowd in the Georgia Dome gets a little louder.
3:30 P.M. Falcons Field Goal Makes It 10-0
A rare mistake by Ryan — throwing behind Rodgers instead of leading him around the linebacker he had beaten — and the drive stalls. Matt Bryant comes on for a 35-yard field goal and makes it 10-0 with 3:20 left in the first quarter.
3:32 P.M. Jones Untouched for the Early Lead
3:28 P.M. Jones Is Killing the Niners
His last catch, behind a leaping Goldson this time, is his fifth, and gives him 100 yards in the first quarter.
Jim Harbaugh isn't really projecting confidence in the camera shots we've seen of him so far.
3:22 P.M. M.V.P. So Far
The game ball of the first 10 minutes goes to the Falcons' offensive line. Queen Elizabeth doesn't get that much space around her.
Delay on the field after Jones, reaching for a ball on the sideline, lowbridges a security guard who (correctly) had his back to the field. Poor guy never saw it coming.
3:18 P.M. Three and Out for 49ers on First Drive
While we looked back at the touchdown the 49ers went three and out on their first possession, gaining only 1 yard. That's an improvement on last week, though, when Kaepernick threw a pick six against the Packers the first time he got the ball.
3:16 P.M. Gonzalez With the Assist
Replays showed the 49ers overreacted to an underneath route by Tony Gonzalez, allowing Jones to break free on a go route outside the left hashmarks. Dashon Goldson screamed at the help that was late to arrive, but he's the one who bit on Gonzalez.
3:11 P.M. Jones Over the Top: TOUCHDOWN!!!
The 49ers inexplicably allow Julio Jones to run right past them, and right under a deep ball from Ryan. He hauls it in around the 10 — five yards behind the two defenders frantically trying to recover — and walks in with a 46-yard TOUCHDOWN!!!
Ryan was 3 for 4 for 75 yards that drive. Wow.
3:10 P.M. Positive Signs for Both Sides?
As Roddy White leaps for a catch across midfield, we note that the Fifth Down's Chase Stuart is making a good case for a 49ers victory.
SF is the 5th road team to be a 3.5-point favorite on Championship Sunday since 1978. Road teams are 3-1 http://t.co/Z7jgO6Ba
I'm going San Francisco 30, Atlanta 24, but only due to a late Falcons score http://t.co/PfPOoMtE
One final reason to back SF: When it comes to in-game decisions, trust Harbaugh, not Mike Smith.
3:07 P.M. Falcons Ball to Start
Ryan hands off on first down and then finds Julio Jones across the middle for a first down. Matty Ice can be devastatingly accurate, so connecting early is a good.
So is Atlanta's ability to run the ball against the tough 49ers' front. That mix will be important today.
2:16 P.M. Some Pregame Reading
Greg Bishop had a couple of interesting 49ers-related stories this week in the runup to the game. Today's was on Nevada's Chris Ault, who created the Pistol Offense that made Kaepernick a college star and a defensive coordinator's nightmare. But on Saturday he wrote about the 49ers' offensive coordinator, Greg Roman, whom we dubbed the Quarterback Whisperer in a headline for his recent work getting the most out of Andrew Luck, Alex Smith and now Kaepernick.
Sam Borden has been our man in Atlanta so much recently that he now signs off on emails to the copy desk with "thanks y'all." But he did provide this week's musical interlude when he looked back at the Dirty Bird, the celebratory dance that became the signature of the Falcons' only Super Bowl team. Like the Super Bowl Shuffle, it made the hometown fans smile and the rest of us cringe. For a more football-centric read, try Mike Tierney's look at Jacquizz Rodgers, who could be a key difference between last year's playoff failures and this year's Super Bowl hopefuls.
Then fold some laundry or empty the diswhwasher. Because six hours from now, when your wife or husband or significant other says, "You're still watching football?", you can point out that you did get some chores done early.
2:05 P.M. Crabtree is active for the 49ers
Receiver Michael Crabtree, the favorite target of 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick, will play in today's game. His status briefly became something of a question mark when he was interviewed by the police in relation to a reported sexual assault.
