All memorials I post here on Find-a-Grave is to honor that person and are done with the utmost dignity and respect. I am hoping that I can help families find their family and friends.
If you'd like a headstone or grave marker photo for any of my Find-a-Grave memorials that need a photo please let me know. I have the majority of them. If so I will check to see if I have it on my hard drive and post it. I am very back logged with uploading my photos due to long hours at work but I will try my best to load my photos for any one that may need them.
11/03/15: I took a lot of photos while unemployed years ago at three cemeteries and transcribed the grave stones into memorials. Now being employed I have very limited amount of time to upload the photos and addition I also been off line for a very long time so there is a number of memorials without photos. I am getting the photos in slowly but it will take a lot more time to get them upload. If you want a photo leave me a message, do not make a photo request on the cemeteries' profile page, and I will make it a priority and I will upload the photo for you. Thank you......
If you see any corrections, additional information, or obituaries you would like for me to add to a memorial please use the edit tab and I will be happy to make the correction.
"Please do not leave additions or corrections to the memorials, that I have posted, by use of the virtual flowers. Use the edit tab and I will make the changes for you. Thanks for your help in advance with this."
Anyone may use any of my photos from Find-a-Grave for their own ancestry research..
Note: I am only here to help others find their family and friends and I am always happy to help others with their genealogy research but if you have negative comments which you want to share with me they will go unanswered. It is sad that I have to post this note due to rude individuals.

Photo of Theodore Paul Reichl
I am interested in your memorial for Theodore Paul Reichl (#58745835) and his wife Mary. My maiden name is Reichl, and I have been researching this family for years. I have added some info to this memorial. Would it be possible for me to use the photo you supplied? Do you have others? Thanks, Kitty (Reichl) Pherson

Dorothy Marie (Adams) Byers
Hi, Michael I was wondering if you could take a photo of Dorothy Marie (Adams) Byers gravestone for me. I sent out a photo request, an they are having problems finding the grave. You put a photo for her husband Ernest Edward Byers and made his memorial and are letting me maintain it. Dorothy died on 18 Jan 2016, so the date should be on the gravestone by now. Dorothy and Ernie's grave's are at Olinger Highland Mortuary and Cemetery, Thornton, Adams County, Colorado, the Plot is in Garden of Meditation. Ernie's memorial # is 45188702 and Dorothy's memorial # is 157226878. The photo request is still open, I'm not sure if I have to take it off and reopen the request, if you can take this photo at some later date and I need to reopen the request, please let me know. My contributor's # is (#48198637),

Information architecture (IA) is the structural design of shared information environments; the art and science of organizing and labelling websites, intranets, online communities and software to support usability and findability
The best way to think about information architecture is that it's a blueprint, a way to organize your information so it's easy to find by the right people. And while SharePoint isn't the only platform that is in need of a well defined IA, it is one, that if badly defined, can cause more information silos and frustrated employees than you can even imagine.
The key to getting it right, is to plan it right, from the start. Now we hear some of you smirking because you know that what you have now is in such a state that it seems impossible to fix. Rest assured, it can be done.
Information architecture is a key element of your governance strategy. Governance is a huge topic for SharePoint, everyone talks about it, everyone has their own ideas on how to implement and manage a SharePoint governance strategy and the associated IA, and you know what? It's all really good advice. But there's just so much of it out there, how do you get focused and started?

8 B2B Online Print Store Conversation Starters
It's likely that your print shop has a number of corporate customers with standard business documents and that they reprint these projects a few to several times a year. Often it's a straight reprint; other times it's a minor change — a new name for the business card, an address change, a date change. Each time you manually process these jobs, you are adding cost.
Wouldn't it be nice to have these jobs make it through your shop without any manual touches? It is possible —it's a B2B print-procurement center from Prisme Technologies.
If you think you're not ready to add online print ordering to your shop's services, try these eight conversation starters with your clients. The results may surprise you.

Gr 3-6-This outstanding look at our venture to the Moon combines a generous array of full-color photos with lively, if concise, descriptions of the Apollo Program, its predecessors, and the early history of rocketry. A look at the Moon's face in different phases gives way to portraits of Galileo and Robert Goddard's homemade-looking rocket, followed by shots of astronauts posing in and out of their massive spacesuits. Artists' conceptions of futuristic lunar colonies, a composite look at the other planets on our upcoming itinerary, and, finally, a parting view of a dusty, desolate moonscape round out the presentation. Siy binds the illustrations together with summary accounts of several of those long-ago Apollo missions, adding salient details and humorous comments made by the astronauts. Readers with an interest in these dramatic events will welcome the lists of books and Web sites at the end. A wildly exaggerated claim for the magnifying power of Galileo's telescope aside, this title ably captures both the magnitude of the technological achievement, and, even more strongly than Mary Ann Fraser's One Giant Leap (Holt, 1995), that heady feeling of going where none had gone before.-John Peters, New York Public Library

Okay, beforehand: I'm very ambivalent to lists like this, because they're always VERY biased towards English literature. For example the lack of continental literature is often bothering me. I've never seen Camus or Kundera on Nth Best Book lists. And these seriously lack of Russian, German and French literature. But this is okay :D
(Maybe I'm just butthurt over several of my favourite books ever – for example The Unbearable Lightness of Being by Milan Kundera – is not on these lists XD)
Bold means I've read it. Italics means I wanna read it.

When South Korea plays Greece this weekend in its World Cup soccer opener in Port Elizabeth, South Africa, many fans will follow a live broadcast of the match on their mobile phones.
In South Korea, free-to-air mobile TV is now five years old. According to the country's broadcasters, 27 million people — 56 percent of the population — watch regularly.
While South Koreans are the world leaders in mobile TV viewing, the technology is also catching on in China, Southeast Asia, India, Africa and Latin America, where 80 million people now have mobile phones that can receive free, live TV broadcasts.
At least 40 million people are watching live TV this year on mobile devices, according to Anna Maxbauer, an analyst at IMS Research in Austin, TX. Most live in emerging markets where operators, which prefer to sell TV programming for a fee through their wireless networks, do not control the sale of handsets.
Indeed, free mobile video viewing is fairly common just about everywhere except the United States and Europe, where operator resistance and a variety of conflicting technical standards and program licensing hurdles have kept the technology out of the global mainstream.
In South Korea, people watch free digital terrestrial broadcasts on mobile handsets and 2 million pay to subscribe to satellite programming, according to Korean broadcasters. The typical screen made by Samsung is a 3in diagonal. Batteries support three to six hours of viewing. In Korea, free mobile TV broadcasts are interspersed with ads.
"In the markets where people use this, we have found that viewing tends to be pretty high," said Diana Jovin, a vice president for corporate marketing and business development at Telegent Systems, a mobile TV chipmaker.
Telegent is shipping about 750,000 chips each month to handset makers, most designed for viewing analog broadcasts in markets like Brazil, Peru, Argentina, Russia, Nigeria, Thailand, Egypt and China. Brazil is one of Telegent's biggest markets.
In the United States and Europe, broadcasters and wireless operators have been slow to embrace mobile television technology. Those operators control what technology goes into handsets. A major hurdle to free-to-air broadcasting in the United States is, ironically, that it is free. That offers no incentive to operators focused on raising revenue per customer.
"Ask anybody if they want to watch free TV on their phone. Everybody is going to want to say sure," said Jim Oehlerking, the senior director for mobile TV business development at Motorola. "The challenge is getting the mobile media marketplace to the point where content owners, carriers and broadcasters work out a business model."
In April, at the NAB Show, 12 U.S. broadcasters and television content owners including Fox, NBC, Gannett Broadcasting, Hearst and Cox Media, formed a joint venture to pool their broadcasting spectrum and eventually deliver mobile TV to 150 million people. That effort, however, is in its initial stages and no deadlines have been set for adoption.
Last month, Sprint and nine broadcasters in the Washington, D.C., and Baltimore area began a four-month trial that will broadcast programming to mobile phones, netbook computers and portable DVD players made by Samsung, LG Electronics and Dell.
Last week, Detroit-based digital television stations WDIV (NBC affiliate) and WXYZ (ABC station) went live on the air with a mobile DTV signal, based on the ATSC A/153 standard, to enable automakers to test in-car entertainment systems that can receive the local broadcast signals in moving vehicles.
The Open Mobile Video Coalition, organizer of these U.S.-based events, is hopeful consumers will take to the technology. To date, no major U.S. wireless carrier has said it would carry the broadcasters' signals, although Sprint has supported a few trials, such as the one in Washington, D.C.

• The faculty of the Department of Medicine at the John A. Burns School of Medicine, University of Hawaii, Honolulu, defined MD-level competence as the capability of undertaking the first day of a primary-care internship. To meet this goal, a curriculum was developed that used a written statement of expected competencies and objective measurements of student performance. The duration of the clinical clerkship was made flexible to acknowledge the normal variation in the rate at which students learn. Six weeks of ambulatory patient care were included in the basic third-year clerkship to fulfill objectives otherwise unmet.

Ex-Millennium Global Manager Balboa Indicted in Bond Fraud Case
Ex-Millennium Global Investments Ltd. portfolio manager Michael Balboa was indicted on securities fraud charges following his arrest in December for allegedly participating in a scheme involving Nigerian sovereign debt,
Balboa, who worked at Millennium from December 2006 to October 2008, was named in the four-count indictment unsealed March 1 in federal court in Manhattan. Balboa is charged with conspiracy to commit securities fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud, securities fraud and wire fraud.
Prosecutors said Balboa, who was based in London, and two unnamed co-conspirators participated in a 10-month scheme in 2008 in which he sent "phony mark-to-market quotes" to an independent valuation agent who inflated month-end market prices for Nigerian warrants.
He overstated the value of the fund's illiquid securities and securities positions and as a result, was able to generate "millions of dollars" in illegitimate management and performance fees.
Balboa earned about $6.5 million for his services to the fund, which was based on his fund's performance, prosecutors said. As a result of the scheme, the fund was able to increase its total valuation for the Nigerian warrants from more than $12 million in January 2008 to more than $84 million in August 2008, the U.S. said.
SEC Lawsuit
The Securities and Exchange Commission filed a related lawsuit in December, claiming that Balboa, of Surrey, England, and BCP Securities LLC broker Gilles De Charsonville of Madrid used the overvalued securities positions to "generate millions of dollars in illegitimate management and performance fees."
De Charsonville hasn't been charged in Manhattan with criminal wrongdoing.
Balboa faces as long as 20 years in prison if convicted of the securities fraud, Manhattan U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara said at the time of Balboa's arrest in December.
``I think this case is really one where I'm not sure the government has a full grasp of all the facts, because if they did, they'd be hard pressed to have indicted,'' Joseph Tacopina, a lawyer for Balboa, said in a phone interview. ``We intend to vigorously defend this case.''
Balboa's fund, which bought emerging-market debt, was liquidated by London-based Millennium Global after lenders withdrew credit in the wake of the financial crisis, two people familiar with the situation said in October 2008. His portfolio suffered almost $1 billion in losses, the SEC said in court papers.
The criminal case is U.S. v. Balboa, 12-cr-00196, and the civil case is SEC v. Balboa, 11-cv-08731, U.S. District Court, Southern District of New York (Manhattan).

Torres del Paine is home to glaciers, mile-high granite peaks and beautiful blue lakes. It's remote and getting there isn't quick.
The gateway to Torres del Paine is Puerto Natales, and below we'll explain how to get there. Also check out our tours that visit Paine and our maps of the region.
Getting to Torres del Paine from...
Map showing how to get to Torres del Paine
From Ushuaia
Perhaps the most exciting way of getting from Ushuaia to Torres del Paine is by Adventure Cruise. Land at Cape Horn, sail through the Straits of Magellan and visit penguins and glaciers on the way. It takes 4 days to complete the crossing and each day involves 1 or 2 excursions on Zodiac boats. This is certainly a fantastic way to begin your holiday in Torres del Paine and is a very practical way of getting from Argentinian Patagonia to Chile.
After arriving in Punta Arenas on Day 4, you simply take a bus or private transfer straight to Torres del Paine National Park, or to Puerto Natales if you want to prepare for your trek in town before going into the park the following day. Read our blog post to find out more about travelling to Punta Arenas from Ushuaia.
An alternative might be to take the 4 hour bus trip across Tierra del Fuego.
From Buenos Aires, Santiago & Abroad
To get to Torres del Paine from abroad you either need to fly into Santiago and then on to Punta Arenas in Chile, or into Buenos Aires and take a connecting flight to El Calafate in Argentina.
Here you can see more details about flights to Patagonia.
From Buenos Aires
From Buenos Aires, fly direct to the town of El Calafate in the Santa Cruz Province of Argentina. There are several flights a day and the journey lasts around 3 and a quarter hours. From El Calafate you need to take a bus across the border to Puerto Natales, the gateway to Torres del Paine National Park. This option is good if you plan to visit other parts of Argentina before or after Torres del Paine.
Buenos Aires has two airports, one predominately for international flights and one for domestic flights, and we've put together some advice on how you might travel between the airports.
From Santiago
From Santiago, take a flight to Punta Arenas, the nearest big airport to Torres del Paine and 3 hours from Puerto Natales.
From Punta Arenas
If you fly from Santiago to Punta Arenas (a distance of nearly 2000 miles), you can choose to stay the night in Punta Arenas before heading off to Puerto Natales the next day.
Alternatively, after landing at Punta Arenas airport you can get the bus straight to Puerto Natales (depending on when you land).
- From Punta Arenas to Puerto Natales go with Buses Fernandez. The journey takes 3 hours and tickets cost approx. $4000 Chilean pesos each way (approx. USD $7).
- From Punta Arenas airport we recommend Buses Pacheco, as they can pick you up from the airport.
We recommend that you ask your tour operator to book your transport for you to avoid any confusion or problems with reservations.
However, if you'd like to go directly from Punta Arenas to the park, Buses Pacheco run a service which takes you straight there. This is a daily service and leaves Punta Arenas at 07:30 & 14:30 and returns to Punta Arenas from the Park Administration at 13:00 & 18:15. Bear in mind that this journey takes roughly 5-6 hours to complete.
From El Calafate
You'll most likely come Calafate to reach Torres del Paine if: you want to see the Perito Moreno Glacier or if your long-haul flight takes you into Buenos Aires (rather than Santiago), or you are travelling elsewhere in Argentina.
If you're travelling from Calafate to reach Torres del Paine then there are a few options for crossing the border:
- Bus to Puerto Natales: this is by far the most popular way to do things. The journey takes around 5 hours (or 6 if the border crossing is slow) and is on paved roads all the way. The price is approx $55 USD each way depending on exchange rates. The big limitation of this option is that the buses only run at 7am and 8am. So you'd need to be staying in El Calafate the night before. (Once you're in Puerto Natales it's relatively easy to get to the park, with most guided trips starting from here, and public buses into the park through the day for independent travellers)
- Private Transfer: (either to Puerto Natales or directly into the national park). this normally costs in the region of $750 USD each way depending on the time of year, drop off and pick points and size of vehicle. So it only really makes sense if you're a larger group. The big benefit is that you can set off from Calafate later in the day and, of course get dropped straight to your hotel, take the short route directly into the national park (total journey time around 7 hours).
- Some of the luxury lodges include this transfer as part of their fully inclusive programmes; and other hotels in Torres del Paine might charge around $300 USD per person for the transfer
- Very occasionally it's possible to meet your trekking group and guide at the border / Cerro Castillo to save you going all the way into Puerto Natales and all the way out again.
If you are planning to visit Torres del Paine from Argentina and want some help putting it all together then please do get in touch and we'd be delighted to answer your questions.
From El Chalten
El Chalten is located inside Los Glaciares National Park in Argentinian Patagonia, which is roughly an 8/9 hour bus journey from Torres del Paine National Park itself. Unfortunately there is no direct bus from El Chalten to Torres del Paine, and the trip must be broken up into chunks.
Firstly, the bus from El Chalten to Calafate departs at peak season each morning and afternoon, taking 3 hours. If you catch the bus early in the morning you can catch a late afternoon bus from El Calafate to Puerto Natales which takes 5 hours.
Spend the night in Puerto Natales and take the first bus in the morning into the park, alternatively join your trekking group before taking a private transfer into Paine.
We have some great trips that start in Chalten, some visit the the Perito Moreno glacier and trek to the base of Mount Fitz Roy before proceeding on to Torres del Paine National Park.
Puerto Natales: Gateway to Torres del Paine
Puerto Natales is the nearest town to Torres del Paine and as such is the gateway to the national park.
Operators usually include the journey from Puerto Natales into Torres del Paine in their trip itinerary. This journey takes about 2.5 hours and is primarily along a semi-paved road, so it's a bit bumpy. However, the stunning views of the park on the way in and optional stops for photos make this a spectacular journey.
If you are already in Puerto Natales and just want to get into the park it is possible to take an early morning bus with several companies located in the centre of the town.
If your flights don't coincide with buses, it is possible to take a private transfer (more comfortable and doesn't stop in Cerro Castillo like some buses do), although this option isn't cheap.
For those with a thirst for adventure there's also the option to take a boat from Puerto Natales up the Last Hope Sound and then ride up the Rio Serrano to get into Torres del Paine National Park.
Tailor-made Holidays
Patagonia is a vast and varied region, with a wealth of things to see and do, a range of places to stay and a limited transport network.
Why not let us do the hard work for you? Our team of experts will work with you to design a 2-3 week adventure to your exact requirements, from hiking and horse-riding trips to wine-tasting tours and undiscovered lodges.

Re: Dojo managment software

How important is taking attendance? I guess the real question is what do you get out of it? Is it to find out if people aren't showing up for class? Seems that anything other then an RFID swipe card is going to a lot of extra work. If you've got 20-30 students that's a lot of tracking. If you've got less then that, wouldn't you get a feel for who's not attending?
Do some schools require a specific number of attended classes for a belt? I just don't know what the big payoff is after you collect all that attendance data (I'm not saying there isn't one, I just don't know what it is).
The dojo I where I have been for the last year takes attendance every session. Sensei takes the book home at the end of every month and compiles attendance records (from two dojo in the city).
Each month someone gets an award for the most practices attended. The national federation does gradings based on you having had enough hours of practice to be eligible to test - and this takes the guesswork out (and for those of us who don't record our own training sessions, it takes memory out of the deal, too).
Keeping attendance - the other side of planning - if you keep attendance and someone isn't advancing, you can look at the records, see if they're hardly ever training, and point at that as an issue - if you see that they're training lots and not advancing, you can question your teaching/training method, and look for ways to get through to that person - there are different learning styles (VARK), and the traditional "watch me do it and you imitate" doesn't work for everyone.

BEST BETS: "Jessica Jones," "Big Trouble/Escape from New York" & More October 2016 Highlights
Comic Books
"It's the story of a kid named Tommy Centro, his friends, and one really bad psychopath motherfucker."
Why paraphrase when writer Jakob Free can sum it up like that? That's the story of the webcomic series Tommy Centro, which Free and artists Jon Cairns, J.D. Faith and Daniel Irizarri have been serializing for the past year at TommyCentro.com. The series, now 50 pages into its long-form story, follows Centro on the trail of a murderer known as the Enigma Killer, and the complications that ensue with the involvement of friends, family and a retired vigilante named the Roman.
After making his comics debut in a back-up story in last year's Prophet #32, Puerto Rican artist Daniel Irizarri follows that up with his own rebellious creator-owned strip Renegade Sex Machine that he's releasing online for free.
Irizarri's story mixes the promise of Transmetropolitan and Blade Runner with the visual impact of Invincible's Cory Walker going through a Alphonse Mucha phase. This first 12-page installment, dubbed "Track 1″ by Irizarri, is the first in a series the artist plans to release on a bimonthly schedule.

PREVIEWS: "Daredevil," "Uncanny X-Men," & More Marvel Comics On Sale August 3, 2016
Comic Books
Thank goodness that Everyman is dead. It will force DC writers to put a little more thought into their "twists".
When I read that revelation in GA/BC, my first thought was "Wow, Didio & his editors finally killed off a character that actually deserved to die."
But how can we be sure Everyman is dead? Maybe it was just Everyman posing as Everyman, and . . . um, oh, I see. Never mind.
The twist: It will have been Granny Goodness, posing as Everyman.
Who's Everyman?
Who's Everyman?
Shape-shifting villain introduced in 52 who has shown up in the less than a year since 52 ended as a "twist" in quite literally THREE (perhaps four, I forget if he was used in the Superman titles or not) different comic books!!!
How uncreative is THAT?
I can't wait till we learned that Everyman boffed Black Canary when disguised as Ollie Queen and that now she has… gasp… HIV!
Doesn't he die everytime he appears? Rereading the showdown between him and Steel in 52, it's pretty clear he falls to his death.
Man, that character sucks.
"He's a member of the everyman program."
"Oh? What's his name?"
The fact that he can alter his DNA cheapens every story he appears in.
And it proves that the shock at the end of the wedding special was needless and cheap! Big surprise.
The fact that he can alter his DNA cheapens every story he appears in.
And the amount of times he was used in just this past year makes the mystery of Ollie's death seem really quite silly.
"Oh hey, remember that guy who passed every test as being the real Ted Kord, but wasn't really Ted?"
"Oh yeah, he's the same one who fooled everyone into thinking that Sarge Steel just turned evil out of nowhere!"
"Yep! Good thing those situations aren't at all like this one!"
and he wasn't that interesting to start with…
Those damned Skrull are everywhere!
It makes me laugh that everyone in the company is/was using him.
He sounds like the kind of idea that a writer would introduce early on in a run, and then just put in a drawer in case they write themselves into a hole and have no other way out – not something that the editors tell people to use.
(You would have thought an editor upon receiving that would send it back to the writer with a note asking for something a little better).
He's like a Superboy Prime Continuity Punch wrapped in spandex.
They should have called him 'The Butler', because it's always the butler.
(You would have thought an editor upon receiving that would send it back to the writer with a note asking for something a little better).
I don't think they remember they're allowed to do that.
They're like the cats from that Sandman story.
Smart rabbit. Everyman is one of those comparatively rare characters who *should* have been killed off in his first use.
They should have called him 'The Butler', because it's always the butler.
*Snicker!* Admittedly that's a lot shorter name than calling him The Plot Device That Walks Like A Man.
Geez, I read 52, but I have absolutely no recollection of the Everman character. Even when I read GA/BC #1, I didn't remember him. Am I getting that old & forgetful or was Everyman that unmemeorable?
Yeah, but does DC have any other shapeshifters they can go to? Durlans aren't really the type to be on earth really, and besides them, who's left?
The character was better when called Shapeshifter, in Elementals.

Mental health screening of airline pilots is cursory and ineffective
WASHINGTON — There is little effective, real-world screening of airline pilots for mental problems despite regulations in the U.S., Europe and elsewhere that say mental health should be part of their regular medical exams, pilots and safety experts said.

Four consecutive losing seasons have turned the San Francisco 49ers into an inviting target.
Since 2004, they have a total of 18 victories. New England has that many victories in the past six months.
Their head coach and franchise quarterback have scored most of their points jousting in the media.
In 2007, the 49ers ranked last in points scored and yards gained for the first time since 1963 and the second time in their history, which dates back to 1946.
Alas, three years into the Mike Nolan era, the first NFL franchise to win five Super Bowls finds itself chasing Bill Bidwill's Arizona Cardinals in the NFC West.
And now this: Despite apparent deficiencies on offense, the 49ers watched the first wave of free agency come and go without adding a single long-term starter on that side of the ball. The signings of running back DeShaun Foster, 35-year-old receiver Isaac Bruce and quarterback J.T. O'Sullivan generated little buzz.
What are the 49ers thinking?
The answer lies not only in what they have done in free agency, but in what they have left undone.
By leaving the core offensive talent largely unchanged, Nolan and general manager Scot McCloughan are betting big on new offensive coordinator Mike Martz. There is no other plausible way to explain why a team unlikely to find immediate offensive firepower in the draft -- San Francisco picks 29th -- would take such an approach.
The 49ers opened the free-agent period by watching guard Justin Smiley sign with Miami. They secured no visits with Bernard Berrian or any of the other high-profile offensive free agents.
Instead, the 49ers upgraded their defensive front seven by investing $7.5 million a year in former Cincinnati Bengals defensive end Justin Smith. They also signed linebacker Dontarrious Thomas from Minnesota. Thomas, Patrick Willis and Manny Lawson give the 49ers three young linebackers with speed.
And on offense, the 49ers have ... Martz.
Not that free agency offered a bounty of attractive prospects this year.
Twenty-seven of the first 57 unrestricted free agents to switch teams started at least eight games last season, but only 14 of them played offense. Three of the 14 -- guard Jacob Bell, guard Alan Faneca and receiver Jerry Porter -- changed teams after starting all 16 games last season.
Free agency can be overrated.
San Francisco's slide from 7-9 in 2006 to 5-11 last season affirmed the folly of projecting NFL success based on offseason activity levels.
The 49ers loaded up on free agents in 2007, leaving the impression they would build on a promising finish to the previous season. San Francisco won road games against Seattle and Denver during the final three weeks of the 2006 season. Adding Nate Clements and Michael Lewis in free agency, and receiver Darrell Jackson by trade, was supposed to push the 49ers into the ranks of playoff contenders.
As the 49ers' offense faltered early last season, McCloughan said the talent was there to compete and improve. The season slipped away after Seattle's Rocky Bernard drove quarterback Alex Smith to the ground, damaging Smith's throwing shoulder.
Offensive coordinator Jim Hostler, who lost his job after one season, took the blame as the defeats piled up. But Nolan's mishandling of Smith's injury might have done more lasting damage.
"He came out and said some things to the team," Smith told the San Jose Mercury News last season. "I felt it was trying to undermine me with my teammates."
The 49ers are counting on Martz to handle their quarterbacks more effectively. They also hired Chris Foerster, a former assistant to Brian Billick in Baltimore, to help coach the offensive line, which struggled last season.
Martz will choose between Smith and Shaun Hill at quarterback. Smith, still only 23, won't get the job just because he was the No. 1 overall choice in the 2005 draft. Throwing his first regular-season passes in six NFL seasons, Hill passed for five touchdowns in two-plus games late in the year.
There could be other changes.
Joe Staley, the 49ers' first-round pick in 2007, might move from right to left tackle, switching places with Jonas Jennings. Left guard Larry Allen, 36, is a free agent and might retire. Smiley was the most proven option at right guard, but the 49ers made little effort to keep him after injuries cut short his 2007 season.
The 49ers' receivers underperformed as much as any unit on the team last season. Jackson caught 46 passes. (His career low was 38 in 2005, when he missed 10 games.) The 49ers cut Taylor Jacobs, their third receiver, after the third game, never a good sign.
Enter Martz. The former Rams coach and Detroit Lions playcaller is the 49ers' fourth coordinator in as many seasons, following Mike McCarthy, Norv Turner and Hostler.
Turner's sudden departure 13 months ago set back the offense significantly.
Martz has kept most of the terminology in place from Turner's tenure, which should make the transition easier. But it's fair to question whether the 49ers have the personnel to execute an offense that has traditionally placed great pressure on quarterbacks.
Although the 49ers obviously think they do, a Martz-led offense hasn't produced a winning record since 2003, when the Rams finished 12-4 and Marshall Faulk scored 10 touchdowns for the last time.
"He'll adjust to what our talent level is and what our personnel is," McCloughan said recently.
In Martz they trust.

Compensation for Tracing and Tracking Error
A method of compensation proposed by Professor F. V. Hunt to eliminate tracing distortion in the mastering of stereo disc recordings is shown to be equally effective against tracking distortion. The effectiveness is hardly diminished when used to compensate for the joint effects of both tracing and tracking, since approximately an order of magnitude of improvement seems to be offered, even in cases of severe error. The possibilities of practical application, to cure at one stroke the two major sources of distortion in stereo disc reproduction, are discussed.

Did 'Siege of Mecca' Give Birth to Al-Qaida?
In November 1979, gunmen in Mecca seized Islam's holiest shrine to proclaim the arrival of the Muslim messiah. It took Saudi forces, aided by French commandos, two weeks to flush the rebels out of Mecca. Author Yaroslav Trofimov argues that the way the rebellion was quashed helped spawn the birth of al-Qaida. Trofimov discusses his book with Jacki Lyden.

Tiffany Jumps After Annual Profit Forecast Exceeds Estimates
Tiffany & Co., the world's second-largest luxury jewelry retailer, rose the most in more than six months after forecasting annual profit that beat analysts' estimates, driven by sales growth in the Americas and Asia.
Tiffany advanced 6.7 percent to $73.27 at the close in New York, for the biggest gain since Aug. 26. The shares increased 11 percent this year.
Profit excluding some items will advance to as much as $4.05 a share in the year ending Jan. 31, 2013, the New York-based company said today in a statement. Analysts projected $3.92, the average of 22 estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
Tiffany is benefiting from stock-market gains that have prompted luxury consumers to resume jewelry purchases, a turnabout from January, when the retailer said weak spending from U.S. customers had slowed holiday sales. New designs, such as Paloma Picasso's Venezia collection introduced in the fall, helped boost fourth-quarter sales 7.8 percent to $1.19 billion.
"Their guidance suggests that business has reaccelerated," David Schick, an analyst with Stifel Nicolaus & Co. in Baltimore, said today in an interview. "When the financial markets, economic conditions and consumer sentiment improve, people go shopping."
The company projected annual sales growth of about 10 percent and said most earnings gains will occur in the latter part of 2012. Tiffany plans to add 24 stores this year, including 9 in the Americas and 7 in the Asia-Pacific region. As of Jan. 31, the company operated 247 stores worldwide.
"While it is obviously still quite early in this new fiscal year, we are pleased that worldwide sales growth is tracking in line with our internal expectations," Chief Executive Officer Michael Kowalski said.
Higher Product Costs
Tiffany said profit in the fourth quarter was hampered by higher product costs and expenses to relocate its New York headquarters.
Fourth-quarter net income fell 1.6 percent to $178.4 million, or $1.39 a share, from $181.2 million, or $1.41, a year earlier, Tiffany said. Analysts projected $1.42, the average of 17 estimates compiled by Bloomberg.
