WAYNESBORO — Waynesboro Area Senior High School varsity football head coach Scott Shacreaw and assistant coach Chris Petrie were both relieved of their duties on Monday afternoon, just as they were ready to report to the practice field.
Shacreaw was in his fourth season at the position after serving as an assistant coach under former head coach Darwin Seiler for three seasons. Assistant coach Steve Myers was named interim head coach until the end of the regular season.
WASHS athletic director Eric McIlquham confirmed the dismissal on Monday night, saying in a statement, "Waynesboro head football coach Scott Shacreaw has been released from his position effective immediately. I appreciate all the hard work and pride that coach Shacreaw has put into the Indians program over the past four years. Assistant coach Steve Myers has been named interim head football coach for the remainder of the season."
Shacreaw's dismissal comes at midseason. Waynesboro is 0-6 with its next game coming this Friday against Northern York in Dillsburg.
Waynesboro Area School District superintendent Sherian Diller also released a statement, saying, "The district appreciates all the hard work and pride that coach Shacreaw has put into the Indians program over the past four years. Coach Shacreaw's strong moral fiber will have a strong impact on the students that he has coached during his tenure."
Myers, a 1999 graduate of Smithsburg High School, was an assistant football coach at North Hagerstown High School from 2006 to 2012. He was also the head baseball coach at North High the past two seasons.
"It's a tough situation we're presented with, but the game goes on," Myers said this morning. "The primary objective is to come out Friday night and put forth a good effort."
James D'Annibale will assume the role of defensive coordinator, while Myers will coach defensive backs in addition to his role as offensive coordinator. Jye Smith will coach the receivers.
"Everybody is picking up the slack," Myers said. "It's kind of tough in this situation with only four games left. I'm only the interim head coach, but I'd like to be the head coach. I'm going to try to put in my style and structure."
Shacreaw was 1-9 in his first season and followed with a 4-6 record in 2011. Waynesboro was 3-7 in 2012 and returned a roster including just seven seniors.
"We knew we were going to be pretty young this year," Shacreaw said Monday afternoon. "I didn't know what the expectations were going to be. My goal is always to win. Devoting the amount of time you do to something like this, you get a sense if you don't win you are going to be fired."
Page 2 of 2 - Shacreaw, who lives in Waynesboro, is an information security analyst at Letterkenny Army Depot, while Petrie owns Petrie Auto and Truck Sales.
Myers is coordinator of alternative education at WASHS, where D'Annibale teaches social studies.

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO -- Three flight attendants were ejected from Asiana Flight 214 when it crash-landed Saturday at San Francisco International Airport, and two others were pinned by emergency chutes that opened inside the plane, the head of the National Transportation Safety Board said Wednesday.
Deborah Hersman said six of the 12 flight attendants -- including the three ejected from the plane and one pinned by a chute -- are still hospitalized and have not been able to talk to investigators.
Hersman also said when the Boeing 777 came to rest, an evacuation wasn't immediately ordered. It started once a flight attendant saw a fire outside and had the pilots notified.
During a Wednesday afternoon news conference, Hersman said 20 NTSB investigators are working on the crash that killed two 16-year-old Chinese girls, injured dozens and has left 14 still in Bay Area hospitals.
Meanwhile, about the same time as NTSB briefing, at a chaotic news conference at SFO, six Asiana Flight 214 crew members posed for photographs Wednesday, but only one spoke briefly. A translator said the atmosphere of news cameras and camera flashes exacerbated their emotional state.
"This was a very emotional event," said the translator, who refused to give her name.
Some of the crew members covered their faces as they wept.
Lee Yoon Hye, cabin manager, said she hoped all the victims and their families recover.
"We are working as quickly as possible," she said.
Television helicopters recorded a trio of private buses accompanied by police escort at the crash site at SFO around 7 p.m. Wednesday. About 40 to 50 people -- identified as crash survivors -- observed the scene from an outlying road while a line of a dozen dark-clad figures stood off to one side, casting long shadows down the roadway in the setting sun.
The buses reloaded and departed around 7:35 p.m.
Survivor Ben Levy told reporters that he went to connect with other passengers who were on the flight.
He said that some people got emotional and cried, but added that getting to know people who shared an experience that none would ever forget would help the healing process.
Late Tuesday night, San Mateo County Coroner Robert Foucrault identified the Chinese teenager who may have been struck by a rescue vehicle racing to the crash site of Asiana Airlines Flight 214 as Ye Mengyuan. But Foucrault once again said Wednesday morning that it could be a couple of weeks before it's determined how the 16-year-old girl died.
Mengyuan and Wang Linjia, also 16, were the only two of the 307 passengers and crew aboard the Boeing 777 jetliner to perish in Saturday's crash-landing at San Francisco International Airport when the plane clipped the sea wall just in front of the runway.
Linjia's body was located on the runway closer to the sheared-off tail of the aircraft, indicating that she probably was ejected after the initial impact, Foucrault said. But Mengyuan was found near the wrecked plane and San Francisco Fire Department command staff notified police authorities Saturday that a responding fire vehicle might have struck the girl.
Foucrault's office is trying to determine if the teen died in the crash, or survived and was killed after being run over in the chaotic scene immediately after the crash-landing.
"The San Francisco Police Department is treating this as a secondary incident until we can prove otherwise," Foucrault said. "That's why their hit-and-run detail responded to the scene. Their major accident team was involved immediately."
Foucrault said no preliminary findings will be released because investigators want to be confident in their understanding of what happened before making any information public.
"The time is needed for me to consult with my pathologist and go over the findings of our report while investigators continue to look for evidence in the case, like video," he added.
NTSB head Deborah Hersman said earlier this week that SFO surveillance video of the incident scene had proved inconclusive.
The two deceased girls were sitting next to each other in the middle of row 41, the second to last row at the back of the plane, said a teenage survivor who was part of the same summer program as the victims.
In a Tuesday interview at a downtown San Jose hotel where they are staying, the survivor -- who didn't want to be identified -- said that Linjia, wearing black jeans, a white T-shirt and light blue jacket, was sleeping just across the aisle as the plane descended for a landing. Linjia, who held a leadership position in the group called a "monitor," had been watching a movie earlier and told her friend how much she was enjoying it.
The survivor said that as the tail of the plane crashed into the sea wall, she covered her face. When she opened her eyes, everything was a chaotic, jumbled mess.
"When I stood up, I don't see her," the survivor said in broken English, explaining that she didn't see either Linjia or Mengyuan, who had been sitting next to her. "I can't see her. The seat is empty."
While the backs of the victims' seats were upright, she said, the ones in front of them had fallen back onto the girls' seats, the survivor said, explaining through a crude diagram.
"In front of Ye, the seat is down," the survivor said.
Also, the bathrooms behind her were gone.
"Everything in the back disappeared," she said. "Before, two toilets behind. After, no toilets. I see light."
All that was left, said another surviving friend sitting a few rows ahead, "was a very huge hole."
She assumed that maybe the two girls had gotten out safely.
"I think Ye go out before me," she said.
As of Wednesday, 14 passengers and crew members of Flight 214 remain hospitalized.
San Francisco General Hospital reported eight patients from the crash, six adults and two children. Three of them are in critical condition, including one child.
The three critical patients are being treated for spinal cord injury, traumatic brain injury, abdominal injury, internal bleeding, road rash and fractures.
The spokeswoman said one patient, who had been in critical condition, was upgraded overnight to serious condition.
So far, San Francisco General has treated 66 patients -- 35 adults and 31 children. Initially the hospital reported it had treated 62 of them, but a hospital spokeswoman said she learned that on Monday four more children visited the pediatric urgent care clinic with complaints from the crash. They were treated and released.
As of 7 p.m., two people were still at Stanford Hospital, one in critical but stable condition, and one in good condition, according to the hospital. Stanford Hospital saw 55 patients from the flight on Saturday, 11 adults were admitted to the hospital and seven minors were admitted to Lucile Packard Children's Hospital.
As of noon on Wednesday, a Dignity Health Hospitals spokeswoman said two patients -- one at Saint Francis Memorial Hospital and one at St. Mary's Medical Center -- remained hospitalized in stable condition. Saint Francis initially saw seven patients and St. Mary's initially saw five patients.
The NTSB has been releasing an unprecedented amount of detailed information of the final moments of what was occurring inside the Flight 214 cockpit before the crash at daily press briefings. Hersman is scheduled to meet with reporters again at 2 p.m. Wednesday.
In fact, the Air Line Pilots Association, the world's largest pilots union, even criticized the NTSB for making so much information public this quickly, possible leading to incorrect conclusions.
On the other hand, authorities have said little about the circumstances surrounding the death of the one Chinese girl.
First-responders have been hailed for their heroic efforts in helping the crew get passengers off the plane before it became engulfed in flames. But the mystery surrounding Mengyuan remains a cloud hanging over response effort.
The parents of the two girls arrived in the Bay Area Monday night. But Foucrault said identification of the teens was established through fingerprints provided by the FBI.

Anyone surprised?
Good / Bad ?
I was surprised. In this day and age, players tend to go where the most money takes them. It's refreshing to see that the Yankees can't just get their way every time by flashing the biggest offer in someone's face.
Leaving "for money" has been around a long time !!!
I remember when Carlton Fisk first signed with the Red Sox.
A "New England" kid (Bellows Falls, Vt) who said his lifelong dream was to play for the Red Sox.
It was then quite a "shock" to the locals when, in 1980 after 10 or so years with Red Sox, he left to play for the "Other Sox" for more money.
Heck, I remember when Lyman Bostock left the Twins to sign with the Angels for "big money" and then when he started off badly the next season (1978) he tried to give his salary back to the team.
It wasn't allowed so he gave it to charity.
As for the Bankees, it was refreshing to see someone say NO to them.
Lee would have paid 2M a year more in city and state income tax had he chosen to play for the Yankees. Plus the cost of living is lower in Philadelphia than New York. And with today's salaries isn't there a point where enough is enough and the player can chose location over top dollar.
Plus, as we all know, Philly is the city of Brotherly Love.
Who wouldn't give up just a few mill and choose Philly !!! ;o)
Lee chose an organization with a chance to win it all. It turns out Lee initiated contact with the Phillies last week. He liked playing there. His wife liked living there.
"Lee chose an organization with a chance to win it all."
Are you saying the Bankees don't have a chance to win it all - BLASPHAMY !!!
It was all the factors I stated. The Phillies have a better chance than the Yankees. Who are Nova and Mitre anyway? For those who don't know they're the #4 and #5 starters for the Yankees. And Burnett is #3. Look for the Yankees to offer Pettite anything he wants to return along with targeting a few MLB pitchers and offering their teams a lot in a trade. The thing I like is the Yankees are getting old and are forced to fork over top prospects to stay in contention.

Easy 3D Hanging Wall Art
In the past, we leaned a large metal screen above the mantel (vintage Pier 1). In this house the screen landed over a console table, but leaning wasn't going to work. Seems a little too lazy for the room. Some curtain rod hardware, my awesome Ryobi drill and a few minutes is all we needed to hang it up – and away from the wall.

Buried Alive is a good, solid opener. No problems here. Right into a lengthy Wilson. This one is full of teases and a long ending jam. Double shot of Gamehenge material with a really solid reading of Divided Sky. Fee was a little shaky at first, but settles in to be a good one. Ice was also solid, and a lot tighter like most of the Rift material is getting. Uncle Pen was right up there in tightness as well. Stash had a few weak spots, but nothing major. Rift was a little shaky and it seemed like Trey's volume disappeared. Last night's was better. FEFY was pretty good for a new song. IDK featured "Tubbs" who is funny as usual. Page seems to initiate the finger scrape going into a good Bowie to close a good first set.
Suzy had some silly antics making it good, but not great. Mound shows off more solid new Rift material. Bouncing was ok, and included lots of monitor feedback. Llama rocks, as usual. Fluffhead is solid, maybe a few spots, and Fishman rushed the ending a little, cutting Trey off. Chalk Dust included more teases and antics reminiscent of last night's Tweezer jam. Nice to hear the shout out's to the crew from Trey and Page while the piano is being fixed. TMWSIY was great on both ends of a good Avenu. My Sweet One was a little rushed and featured the new Big Ball Jam at the end. Nothing too crazy in the HYHU into Rosie combo tonight. "Tubbs ladies and gentlemen! Hood was ok. It had a few rough spots, but again, nothing major or really noticeable. Cavern is back to its usual spot, and tonight Trey blows the lyrics causing a laugh. Pretty good second set.
The crowd does a reasonable job keeping quiet for a nice Adeline encore. A rocking Rocky Top follows and almost gets way off due to the super fast tempo.
Great show, although not quite the five star performance of last night, it's still a great way to end the tour with two back to back, solid shows. Now two weeks off to prepare for the New Year's run.

Drinking and getting behind the wheel of a vehicle is a dangerous, yet relatively common crime. But what about drinking and getting out from behind the wheel of a vehicle?
A woman in Billings, Mont. was recently charged with felony drunken driving after police say she called 911 and said she was too drunk to get out of her vehicle, reports The Associated Press.
Carol Frances Omeara, 55, called dispatchers, stating that she could not get out of her vehicle. When the dispatcher asked if she was having medical or mechanical issues, she said that she was too drunk.
Prosecutors say Omeara's blood-alcohol level was 0.311 percent. The legal limit in Montana is .08.

Keystone has a full schedule of arts and activities planned for this weekend and beyond, from a performance by Summit Community Orchestra tonight and painting classes with your choice of cocktails or kids Saturday and Sunday to a Mardi Gras cook-off on Tuesday.
Tonight, the Summit Community Orchestra sponsors a free chamber concert featuring the Sagebrush Strings at Warren Station Center for the Arts starting at 7 p.m. (doors at 6:30, donations invited). The program includes a flute duet, quartets of both wind and cello and a quintet for strings as well as clarinet and harp music.
On Saturday, the artistic and the not-so-artistic join for a laid-back, instructor-guided evening of acrylic painting and yes - cocktails to help get those creative juices flowing. Canvas & Cocktails comes to Warren Station from Cherry Creek, where there is a retail location (www.canvasandcocktails.com)."We definitely leave it up to the experts to conduct this class," said Warren Station director of events and marketing Maja Russer, who encouraged locals to come out Saturday since it's just a "jaunt down the road to Keystone," instead of braving Interstate 70 to Denver on another day to do so. The evening is intended to be social and stress-free. Participants will replicate the night's featured painting - a retro-style owl in black, white and red with brown accents - with step-by-step guidance from the instructor. The cocktail party starts at 6 p.m. and painting starts at 7. Aprons are provided but organizers recommend wearing clothes you don't mind getting paint on. Entry is $45 in advance and $50 at the door, and space is limited. For tickets, go to http://bit.ly/X2MqZF.
Try not to get the days mixed up because Sunday's artistic event at Warren Station involves kids, not cocktails. On Sunday, parents can bring their little ones to Cupcakes & Canvases, an instructor-led "mommy and me" class where children create masterpieces and yes - eat cupcakes too. The instructor is "Maria Spots" and the cupcakes are by Keystone's executive pastry chef Ned Archibald. The session runs from 10 a.m. to noon and includes a canvas ($15) and art supplies for the children.
For Fat Tuesday, Keystone Resort and the Keystone Neighbourhood Company bring the annual Mardi Gras gumbo competition back to River Run Village, along with a beignets bake-off, new this year. (For those not in the know, "beignet" is a French term for a kind of deep-fried pastry, often served with powdered sugar on top.)It's just $10 for unlimited tastings and there will be live entertainment from Da Hoodoo Men - a six-piece act covering popular New Orleans music like Dr. John, Professor Longhair, The Neville Brothers and The Meters. The tasting takes place from 2:30-5 p.m. Tuesday, with music going to 5:30. The event is open to all competitors and there's no entry fee; participants receive a tent, two tables, linens and tasting cups and spoons. A panel of judges votes on first, second and third place in each category, and there's also a people's choice contest for the gumbo. Interested parties should contact Allissa LaFave at (970) 423-8992 or firstname.lastname@example.com by Saturday.
Next up, on Feb. 16-17, Keystone hosts a Winter Wine Weekend - two nights of tasting featuring more than 20 varieties of wine. On Feb. 16, wines are paired with hors d'oeuvres catered by Black Diamond Gourmet ($30), and there is entertainment by the jazz musicians, Will Donato Trio. On Feb. 17 there will be a pairing seminar followed by a New Zealand dinner by Chef Christopher Rybak ($55), who joins for the first time this year. Package prices are available too (www.warrenstation.com). "Chef Rybak delivers an amazing product and the New Zealand theme is a new twist this year," Russer said. "Just thinking about the lamb makes my mouth water. ... We partner with fun event industry folks when putting on these events. We figure if we're all having a good time then so are our guests."

Capstone in UK & Ireland: Sustainability Abroad
Come learn about study abroad sustainability program in UK & Ireland during summer 2014
Come learn about study abroad sustainability program in UK & Ireland during summer 2014
Jen Waldron, associate professor, Health, Physical Education & Leisure Services, will present Is Hazing Fun or Is It Violent? A Post-Structuralist Perspective.
Current Research on Women and Gender (CROW) Forums are held on the first Monday of each month Faculty, staff, students and community members are welcome.
The College of Education will offer a free webinar for educators entitled "A Framework for Teaching in Content Areas." This webinar will address how students learn best when they are engaged in their own learning. Students are fully engaged in learning when they are interested and are able to sustain attention to tasks for a period of time to find the learning process rewarding. For long-term learning to occur, students must turn the action of engagement and attention into a process of cognitive processing where new information is knowingly integrated into previous knowledge and experiences, and differences in understanding and knowledge are actively mediated. Effective instructional practice not only acknowledges this, but also purposefully works to facilitate these conditions and cognitive processes. To register, visit www.uni.edu/coe/webinars
The College of Education will offer a free webinar for educators entitled "A Framework for Culturally Responsive Teaching." This webinar will introduce participants to the theory of culturally responsive teaching. Participants will also explore elements for creating a culturally responsive classroom. Special emphasis will be given to the power of caring, culture and communication, cooperation and competition, classroom discipline and connecting home and school. To register, visit www.uni.edu/coe/webinars
The College of Education will offer a free webinar for educators entitled "Exercise and the Brain: New Research on how Exercise Sparks Learning Mood." The webinar will address how we, as the human animal, were designed as a physical creature capable of incredible physical tasks. Due to the modern conveniences afforded to our culture, we have taken on a sedentary lifestyle, with very little physical outlets. We have also seen the increase in mental health problems over the last 40 years, and the decline of youth test scores. New research shows a link to the lack of exercise and chemical imbalances in the brain. Learn how exercise holds keys to our intelligence and mental well-being. To register, visit www.uni.edu/coe/webinars

SILT — Police here are investigating a "suspicious death" of a man found dead in the Cactus Valley ditch at about 2:30 p.m. on Oct. 30.
According to Police Chief Levy Burris, there was no sign of trauma evident on the body.
The body has yet to be identified, and is described as a white male, 20-30 years old with red hair, blue eyes and multiple tattoos.
The police are asking for assistance from the public in identifying the man, and calls can be made to 970-876-2735.
Levy said an autopsy has been performed on the body, but he did not reveal any of the findings other than there were no signs of injury found by the coroner.
The last time a body was found in a local ditch, according to Levy, was "two years ago to the day," when the body of Jon Beck, 57, was found in the same ditch at almost exactly the same time of the day.
Burris did not indicate that police believe the two incidents are connected.

Top ten Irish designers taking the world of fashion by storm – photo gallery
Irish designers have made quite a name for themselves in the fashion world. From having their pieces worn in the Royal Wedding, to dressing some of Hollywood's major A-Listers, Irish designers are becoming some of the most sought out and respected designers in the business. Celebrities like Lady Gaga have called upon these designers for their talents and now the world is taking notice.
Here are the Top Ten Irish fashion designers to look out for on the red carpet:
Philip Treacy was born in 1967 in Ahascragh, in County Galway in the West of Ireland. He has designed hats for various movies including "Harry Potter" films, and designed Sarah Jessica Parker's hat for the premiere of the "Sex and the City" movie. Thirty-six of Treacy's hats were worn at the wedding of Prince William and Kate Middleton on April 29, including the hat worn by Princess Beatrice of York, which was widely discussed in the media. Treacy has also worked with celebrities like Lady Gaga producing her space inspired hat for the 2010 Grammy Awards and he is broadly known for his unorthodox sense of style.
Don O'Neill is a County Kerry-born, New York based fashion designer whose clothes are being snapped up by young and hot musicians so they can look great at award shows, album launches and trendy parties. He was recently featured in the New York Times as the creative director of Theia, a bridal house in Manhattan, as they waited to create a replica of Kate Middleton's wedding dress as soon as it was unveiled. Future brides to be are flocking to O'Neill in hopes that he can make them feel like a princess for a day.
Lainey Keogh is one of the most eccentric fashion designers to come out of Ireland. She was born in 1957 in Old Town and spent her childhood living on a farm. She studied microbiology in Dublin and since 1984 she has been perfecting her unique method of textural intervention. She was discovered while she was knitting in the corner of a coffee house and was then persuaded to present a show of her knitwear. It was unveiled to great approval in 1987 and she has been in the business since. Elizabeth Taylor, Demi Moore, Jodi Foster and Kevin Costner are some of the stars known to wear her designs.
The 26-year-old Irish designer grew up and went to school in Birr. She studied fashion design at Central St. Martins in London. Sorcha recently designed a dress which was worn by international fashion icon, Lady Gaga. Sorcha Ó Raghallaigh reported that she 'didn't sleep for a week' and nearly had a 'mini-heart attack' after learning that Lady Gaga was going to wear one of her creations on the Graham Norton Show on BBC television. Despite her recent accomplishments Sorcha is realistic to the competiveness of the fashion world. She currently operates out of a tiny room in her East End flat, and makes ends meet by working part-time for another Irish designer, established jeweller Merle O'Grady.
Orla Kiely is an Irish fashion designer based in London. Although she started off as hat designer, she has moved into handbags and her designs have been featured on a variety of other items including kitchenware and cars. She received a Master's degree from the Royal College of Art where Harrods department store purchased her exit collection. Through her unique use of color and patterns she has been able to achieve a freshness that was unseen prior to her work.
Jonathan William Anderson was born in Northern Ireland in 1984, in Magherafelt and graduated from the London College of Fashion. He is now known as one of Britain's most prominent male fashion designers. He made his debut in London in 2007 and created quite a buzz when he used real insects in his jewelry during a runway show.
Merle O'Grady is originally from Dublin, Ireland. Her design background started when she began to study Fashion Design (womenswear) at Limerick School of Art & Design, in Ireland. She then went on to study Accessory Design at Cordwainers, at the London College of Fashion. She creates "Statement jewelry that is industrial and futuristic yet luxurious and feminine."

ALAMEDA -- The question isn't so much what position Brandian Ross plays as it is what he doesn't play.
Ross will likely end up at cornerback opposite Michael Huff on Sunday when the Raiders visit the San Diego Chargers in their final regular season game, but he can be found just about anywhere in the secondary.
"He doesn't have a position," said Huff. "He does it all."
Ross, at 6-foot-1, 191 pounds, is capable of playing both safety spots, which is where he began his college career at Youngstown State. He moved to cornerback, where he'll start against San Diego, with Phillip Adams likely out with a groin injury.
Slot corner? No problem. He's also adept at the Raiders "joker" position, a hybrid safety-corner utilized in some packages that can have Ross blitzing, playing in the box or falling deep, depending on the call.
"I'm just trying to stack as much good film as I can going into the offseason at different positions and just help this team win and build for next year," Ross said.
Subbing for Adams against Carolina, Ross was not beaten for any gains of significance, had a tackle for loss and a quarterback hit on a blitz.
As an exclusive rights free agent, the Raiders can keep Ross on the roster by making him a qualifying offer next season. Given the preference of coach Dennis Allen for multiple defenses and versatile defenders, Ross could be a factor next season.
"With some of the injury situations we've faced (in the secondary), we were able to get him in the game," Allen said. "You don't know when opportunities are going to come. When you get one, you take advantage because you don't know when you'll get a second chance. He took advantage of the opportunity."
Ross arrived Sept. 19, signed off the Green Bay practice squad by general manager Reggie McKenzie. He spent the entire 2011 season in Green Bay on the practice squad, turning down a chance to sign with an NFL team on a 53-man roster at the behest of McKenzie, then working for the Packers.
The selling point was the Packers were 13-1 at the time and Ross would get more practice time staying in Green Bay.
Ross used his time with the Packers to closely study Charles Woodson, who plays multiple secondary positions and was generous with his time as a mentor.
"I watched everything he did, from how he covered bigger guys and tight ends and guys who might have been quicker, and how he played safety," Ross said. "I just watched his every move and tried to learn as much as I can from him because he is a hybrid type guy who can play multiple positions.''
Versatility comes naturally to Ross, who played quarterback, wide receiver, cornerback and safety at Meadowbrook High School in Virginia.
In Oakland, Ross has made it a point to sit next to Huff in meeting rooms for film study because of Huff's has experience at both safety positions and cornerback.
Running back Mike Goodson (illness) returned to practice and strong safety Tyvon Branch (ankle) was on the field and looks ready to give it a shot for the third straight week at less than 100 percent.

GYPSUM - Don't look ahead.
Eagle Valley boys basketball passed that test Tuesday night. With a big week ahead - at Palisade Thursday and home for Delta Saturday - the Devils dispatched Glenwood, 50-37, in Gypsum.
"In our scheming and planning, we took into account what we wanted to do with our bench," Devils coach Jim Bair said. "They contributed in a big way. Everyone was a part of this win. We did not look past Glenwood. We did what we needed to do."
Eagle Valley (10-2 overall and 7-1 in the 4A Slope) overcame an early barrage of 3s from the Demons in the first quarter and slammed the door on any upset chances with a 13-2 run in the second period.
The Demons (4-10 and 3-6) rode the hot hands of Jared Gambrel and Grant Fegan to stay close early. They had nine of Glenwood's 13 first-quarter points.
"We got them out of their press and their 2-3 (defense) by shooting them out of it," Demons coach Cory Hitchcock said. "We just couldn't sink a bucket. We shot 22 percent from the field, and it's hard to win games that way. But I'm proud of the guys."
Eagle Valley's Ayren Hart and Travis Edgar answered. The latter had nine points in just the first quarter, as the Devils played to their advantage in the paint.
It was more of the same in the second quarter, as the Devils sliced up Glenwood's defense. Eagle Valley's Noah Ejnes had two consecutive layups. The Devils' Juan Baca ended the half with a 3-ball.
Fegan led the Demons with 12 points, while Hart topped all scorers with 15.
Lady Demons win
GYPSUM - Slow down, you're moving too fast. You've got to make the moment last.
Glenwood Springs girls basketball was definitely "Feeling Groovy" after a 49-33 win over Eagle Valley Tuesday night in Gypsum.
And it was all about being methodical in the second half.
"It's one thing to be quick and another thing to be rushed," Demons coach Jackie Gaddis said. "It's something we've been working on for weeks."
The Demons and Devils went up and down the court, trading baskets in the first half, with Glenwood Springs leading 26-22, after 16 minutes. The Demons' defense clamped down with a particular eye toward the Devils' Madeline Lounsberry, who had dropped 30 points on Glenwood in the first league meeting back in December.
"We had to know where she was," Gaddis said. " That's why we spread out on defense. She's obviously a good player and you don't want to be on the receiving end of that. But you also have to watch (Mariel) Gutierrez. She can drive the lane like no one's business."
The visiting Demons (10-3 overall and 6-3 in the 4A Slope) outscored the Devils, 11-6, in the third quarter and pushed the lead beyond 10 points in the fourth.
The Devils (9-4, 6-2) started the second half promisingly enough with buckets from Taylor Martin and Lounsberry, but Glenwood took over.
The Demons' Maddie Spence and Delaney Gaddis had back-to-back layups for a 34-26 lead with 1:52 to go in the third. Glenwood's Laura McDermott pushed the advantage to 37-28 with a field goal of her own.
"The turnovers were puzzling because we haven't turned over the ball over much," Devils coach Sam Bartlett said. "To be so lackadaisical in our passing was frustrating for me and the team. It was the little things, boxing out. Glenwood crashed the boards really well."
Delaney Gaddis and Kenzie Nelson-Buehler led the Demons with 13 points each. Lounsberry and Gutierrez each had nine for the Devils
Both Glenwood teams host Rifle Thursday, while Eagle Valley's squads are at Palisade on the same day. And if you're going to the Glenwood-Rifle games, bring a can of food, which will go to the Advocate Safehouse Project in Glenwood Springs.

Revolutions never occur in mathematics.
In my experience most mathematicians are intellectually lazy and especially dislike reading experimental papers. He (Rene Thom) seemed to have very strong biological intuitions but unfortunately of negative sign.
Mathematics is written for mathematicians.
[Upon proving that the best betting strategy for "Gambler's Ruin" was to bet all on the first trial.]
It is true that a man who does this is a fool. I have only proved that a man who does anything else is an even bigger fool.
Don't talk to me of your Archimedes' lever. He was an absentminded person with a mathematical imagination. Mathematics commands all my respect, but I have no use for engines. Give me the right word and the right accent and I will move the world.
C'este donc par l'etude des mathematiques, et seulement par elle, que l'on peut se faire une idee juste et approfondie de ce que c'est qu'une science.
[It is through the study of mathematics, and only through it, that one can form a fair and comprehensive idea of what science is.]
The composer opens the cage door for arithmetic, the draftsman gives geometry its freedom.
...from the time of Kepler to that of Newton, and from Newton to Hartley, not only all things in external nature, but the subtlest mysteries of life and organization, and even of the intellect and moral being, were conjured within the magic circle of mathematical formulae.
The measure of our intellectual capacity is the capacity to feel less and less satisfied with our answers to better and better problems.
I had a feeling once about Mathematics - that I saw it all. Depth beyond depth was revealed to me - the Byss and Abyss. I saw - as one might see the transit of Venus or even the Lord Mayor's Show - a quantity passing through infinity and changing its sign from plus to minus. I saw exactly why it happened and why the tergiversation was inevitable but it was after dinner and I let it go.

10.2-18 Extortionate Extension of Credit -- § 53-390
Revised to December 1, 2007
The defendant is charged [in count __] with (making / conspiring to make) an extortionate extension of credit. The statute defining this offense imposes punishment on
any person who makes any extortionate extension of credit, or conspires to do so.
For you to find the defendant guilty of this charge, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant (made /conspired to make) an extortionate extension of credit.
An "extortionate extension of credit" means any extension of credit with respect to which it is the understanding of the creditor and the debtor, at the time such extension of credit is made, that delay in making repayment or failure to make repayment could result in the use of violence or other criminal means to cause harm to the person, reputation or property of any person.
"To extend credit" means to make or renew any loans, or to enter into any agreement, tacit or express, whereby the repayment or satisfaction of any debt or claim, whether acknowledged or disputed, valid or invalid, and however arising, may or will be deferred.
"Credit" is the time that a seller gives the buyer to make the payment that is due.
"Creditor," with reference to any given extension of credit, refers to any person making such extension of credit, or to any person claiming by, under or through such person.
"Debtor," with reference to any given extension of credit, refers to any person to whom such extension of credit is made, or to any person who guarantees the repayment of that extension of credit, or in any manner undertakes to indemnify the creditor against loss resulting from the failure of any person to whom that extension of credit is made to repay the same.
"Repayment" of any extension of credit includes the repayment, satisfaction or discharge, in whole or in part, of any debt or claim, acknowledged or disputed, valid or invalid, resulting from or in connection with such extension of credit.
<If charged with conspiring to make an extortionate extension of credit, see Conspiracy, Instruction 3.3-1.>
In summary, the state must prove beyond a reasonable doubt that the defendant (made / conspired to make) an extortionate extension of credit.
If you unanimously find that the state has proved beyond a reasonable doubt each of the elements of the extortionate extension of credit, then you shall find the defendant guilty. On the other hand, if you unanimously find that the state has failed to prove beyond a reasonable doubt any of the elements, you shall then find the defendant not guilty.
Note the following evidentiary provisions found in General Statutes § 53-390 (b) and (c):
If the state proves beyond a reasonable doubt that all of the following factors were present in connection with the extension of credit in question, there is prima facie evidence that the extension of credit was extortionate; but this subsection is nonexclusive and in no way limits the effect or applicability of subsection (a):
(1) The repayment of the extension of credit, or the performance of any promise given in consideration thereof, would be unenforceable, through civil judicial processes against the debtor (A) in the jurisdiction within which the debtor, if a natural person, resided or (B) in every jurisdiction within which the debtor, if other than a natural person, was incorporated or qualified to do business at the time the extension of credit was made;
(2) The extension of credit was made at a rate of interest in excess of the rate permitted under title 37 calculated according to the actuarial method of allocating payments made on a debt between principal and interest, pursuant to which a payment is applied first to the accumulated interest and the balance is applied to the unpaid principal;
(3) At the time the extension of credit was made, the debtor reasonably believed that either (A) one or more extensions of credit by the creditor had been collected or attempted to be collected by extortionate means, or the non-repayment thereof had been punished by extortionate means; or (B) the creditor had a reputation for the use of extortionate means to collect extensions of credit or to punish the non-repayment thereof; or
(4) Upon the making of the extension of credit, the total of the extensions of credit by the creditor to the debtor then outstanding, including any unpaid interest or similar charges, exceed ten dollars.
(c) In any prosecution under this
section, if evidence has been introduced tending to show the existence of any of
the circumstances described in subdivision (1) or (2) of subsection (b), and
direct evidence of the actual belief of the debtor as to the creditor's
collection practices is not available, then, for the purpose of showing the
understanding of the debtor and the creditor at the time the extension of credit
was made, the court may, in its discretion, allow evidence to be introduced
tending to show the reputation as to collection practices of the creditor in any
community of which the debtor was a member at the time of the extension.

Topic: WOW! That Felt Really GOOD!
I shamefully admit I had not used our E Cards yet. Well I made up for it today. I decided to send out 30 of them to family and friends in the form of a thank-you for helping us through Teddy's battle and announcing that this is our first ever CC Month. A thank-you and a way to float our CC name around. Feels so good!
Any suggestion I offer is intended as friendly advice based solely on my own experience. Please consult your doctor for professional guidance.

GREAT SHOW LAST NIGHT! It went off without a hitch.
Thank you to all the acts and the crowd as well. We were really happy to have a lot of people show up for a basement show that had no local acts billed. This definitely opens up our options for future shows in the same space. In fact, we're working on a new line-up right now which will be announced shortly. Mark down "March 13th at the SFR Basement" on your calendar right now. Here are some photos taken by Swope from last night's show:
Shark Tank
Educated Consumers
Time Crisis
Skobie Won (w/ Erik Lamb)
Thank you again!
Remember to mark March 13th down on your calendar. We'll announce the line-up at the end of this week. It's already booked but I want to get the flyer and pre-sale page situated before announcing.

I'd also like to comment on how proud I am to be able to hold shows like these. Literally and figuratively underground. Not only did we get to have performances by people I've known and worked with for 10 years, but we also got to see people for the first time. Acts that were introduced to use through the SFR remix contests.
The fact that there was a good crowd means we can comfortably build upon the design. The next show will have a bit better sound system and we'll try to get more activities in between sets. Just make it more of a party rather than a showcase of talent. That's the hope anyway. March 13th will be the SFR Basement Show #4. Details soon.

So much fun maaaaaaaaaan. My brother and sisters came up from BK too, which made it really special for me.
The actual show was terrific. I've seen Sage and B do "House of Bees" mad times, and is still exciting to me. Educated killed shit. Love those dudes. I had never heard Skobie or Time Crisis before, but was digging their stuff too. Shark Tank was really fun -- the one guy's a cappella about drowning in cereal milk and going to hell was particularly great.
Sage's poem before our set gave me goosebumps. I don't want to give anything about it away. The room went completely quiet for that one. Special moment.
We were super nervous about our set -- it felt important to really represent, being the new kids on the SFR block, in SFR's hometown. If we did isn't for me to decide, but I haven't had that much fun performing in a while. Jared Paul came up and ripped it (a cappella, no less) on our last song.
The best part of the whole experience for me was just the vibe. We got to hang out with all of these friends that we never really get the time with. After the show we ate pizza and told terrible tour stories at Storm's. Beside the fact that SFR has consistently put out amazing music, it is a collection of some of the funnest, nicest people I know.
Hip-Hop brunch Monday morning yo. I haven't stopped smiling yet.

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
Your doctor may give you a test, such as the Berlin Questionnaire or the Epworth Sleepiness Scale, to gain information about your symptoms. The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends that children are screened for sleep apnea by asking about snoring.

EAST PALO ALTO -- A19-year-old man found shot to death inside a parked car Tuesday night has been identified by the San Mateo County Coroner's Office as Raymond Lewin-Phipps of Fremont.
Officers responded to the 2500 block of Emmett Way at about 10:10 p.m. after receiving an alert from the gunshot detection system ShotSpotter, according to police. When officers arrived they found Lewin-Phipps slumped over in the driver's seat of a parked car with a gunshot wound.
Menlo Park Fire District paramedics treated the teenager at the scene; he was then taken to a hospital, where he died.
A preliminary investigation is underway.
The shooting brings the total number of homicides in East Palo Alto this year to eight, including three in the past five weeks. The city had seven homicides last year, eight in 2011 and four in 2010.
Police Chief Ron Davis said he is concerned about the homicide rate this year, particularly because there's still more than four months left. Two spikes of violence earlier this year were attributed to local gangs.
Law enforcement efforts against crime and violence will be intensified in the coming months, Davis said in a phone interview Wednesday.
"The potential exists that there could be more violence, so we need to push back," Davis said. "It's our goal to finish the year without another homicide."
Davis also said Lewin-Phipps is a former East Palo Alto resident and had recently moved back. An employee from the San Mateo County Coroner's Office said he was from Fremont.
Police are asking that anyone who witnessed the shooting or has any information about it contact Detective Tommy Phengsene at 650-798-5947 or contact the East Palo Alto Police Department by calling 650-321-1112, sending an anonymous email to email@example.com, sending an anonymous text to 650-409-6792 or by leaving an anonymous voice mail at 650-409-6792.

Share your experiences with the 8th Annual Clearwater Halfathon, 5-Miler & 5K Fitness Walk below Back to event details page.
Best, scenic 1/2 marathon in the Tampa Bay area. Great race, great views, challenging course and well run.
Ran the 2013.
- Scenic course, particularly for those who were doing the half or the 5 miler.
- Challenging course. Much of the course website refers to it as flat, but there are numerous bridges and overpasses throughout the course
- Postrace party and spread were well planned, and there was plenty of beer.
- Nice , beautiful Medal
- Plenty of water stops, and as a nice touch they call out your name at the finish line, which feels really good when you're ran that far.
- They need to work on corralling runners by speed groups, especially when starting all the races at once. It was very disorganized at the start, and with a narrow path it made things more hectic than they needed to be.
- There were early parts of the race where they needed more running room, such as the sand key bridge where they didn't block a lane of traffic. This was potentially dangerous.
- Not so much a con, but a reminder to those who enter. Check the weather. We had a beautiful day for running, but I imagine heat and wind can be an issue. Its Florida, so do your homework and prepare.
While this was one of the most challenging race courses I would NEVER recommend this race to anyone in the future for several reasons.
I ran the 5 mile race in just under an hour, at age 52, only to find no timed results listed on the official web page. Why? still haven't gotten an answer from race officials.
The 5 mile runners got no medal as an accomplishment. Why? are 5 miler running considered 2nd class runners? I've run many a 5K were medals are given out.
and lastly, on a 5 mile course there was just 1 water station. i always bring my own water but that's not the point. It's a safety issue IMO.
While I'm proud that I finished the race in under an hour and had to concur the Clearwater Bridge twice doing it I've been treated like I never ran the race in the first place.
Randy P
Scenic course with many challenges (4 bridges) and very well organized. Much kudos go out to the many volunteers and spectators that make this a fun race! Great job as always to Chris Lauber!
Only complaint I have is the need for more port-a-lets prior to the race. A 20 minute wait is too long and I would recommend doubling the number next time. I would gladly pay a few more dollars on the entry fee not to have this stress before a race.

Students to collect food on Halloween
Published: Monday, October 29, 2012 at 7:39 p.m.
Last Modified: Monday, October 29, 2012 at 7:39 p.m.
Keep an eye out for students from South Lafourche High School who will be out on Halloween night collecting canned foods and other household supplies.
The annual Cans for Christ Sister Stanislaus Memorial Food Drive is like trick or treating. But instead of collecting candy and wearing costumes, students from 5 to 8 p.m. will be visiting residents' homes throughout south Lafourche seeking donated canned goods to replenish the food bank at the Catholic Community Center in Galliano.
The food drive is named in memory of Sister Stanislaus Langlinais, who ministered at South Lafourche for 34 years before her death in 2010. South Lafourche High School and Sacred Heart Catholic Church organize the drive.
"We'd like folks to have food available that they could give these students to in turn allow us to pass them out to people who are hungry," said Robert Gorman, executive director of Catholic Charities, Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux. "The food banks are for everybody. It doesn't matter what religion you are or anything else."
The Catholic Community Center, 1220 Aycock St., is a nonprofit clothing-thrift store and food bank.
Gorman said although his church collects the goods, the credit belongs to the students.
"The students are the ones out there collecting the food and organizing," he said. "So the credit goes to them for doing this."
Ashley Archer, the Sacred Heart Catholic Church youth minister, said last year students picked up at least 3,500 items.
"We think it is very important for the community to help and provide this service," Archer said. "There are families out there trying to make ends meet, and we hope this will help."

USA, 2012, 60 Minute Running Time
Genre/Subjects: Art, Documentary
4:30pm June 2, 2013: Inocente
Academy Award® Winner for Best Documentary Short Subject (2013)
Followed by Q & A with Inocente and public reception
In collaboration with RedLine's exhibition Not Exactly: between home and where I find myself.
Intensely personal coming of age feature documentary about a young artist's fierce determination to never surrender to the bleakness of her surroundings. At 15, Inocente refuses to let her dream of becoming an artist be caged by her life as an undocumented immigrant forced to live homeless for the last nine years. Color is her personal revolution and its extraordinary sweep on her canvases creates a world that looks nothing like her own dark past.
Told entirely in her own words, we come to Inocente's story as she realizes her life is at a turning point, and for the first time, she decides to take control of her own destiny. Irreverent, flawed and funny, she's now channeling her irrepressible personality into a future she controls. Her talent has finally been noticed, and if she can create a body of work in time, she has an opportunity to put on her first art show. Meanwhile, her family life is at a tense impasse – – if she legally emancipates herself from her mother to strike out on her own, she'll risk placing her brothers in foster care, but to stay is unbearable. INOCENTE is both a timeless story about the transformative power of art and a timely snapshot of the new face of homelessness in America, children.

The only reason I would take up jogging is so that I could hear heavy breathing again!
Contributed by: Praveer
In analytical psychology, reality is ordered by a paradoxical movement of archetypal polarities. Individuation is the process by which these polarities are integrated. In this process, the ego, the center of awareness, differentiates from the Self -the center of wholeness- and reintegrates with the Self over the course of the life history. Jung maintains that it is in mid-life that we are mature enough to take on the arduous task of integrating the negative and contrasexual opposites of the personality.

Blackboard is a web-based course management system that Lindenwood University uses to deliver content for a variety of courses. Blackboard displays the course(s) in which students are registered. Blackboard is used throughout the course by instructors to provide course material and links to the student.
If a course requires Blackboard use, the course syllabus will direct students to log into Blackboard. Only students enrolled in classes for which a Blackboard shell has been set up are required to log into Blackboard. To log into Blackboard from the Lindenwood website, select BLACKBOARD from the top right menu bar to access your blackboard. You must use your Lionmail username only (not your full Lionmail email address) and your Lionmail password.
Blackboard also allows the student to manage course(s), check grades, create blog entries, create and view discussion board threads, take tests online through blackboard, and contact students and instructors. A student tutorial for further help on Blackboard is located on the University website under Blackboard, and Student-Online Tutorials. If you have any online concerns or need technical support, you may access Blackboard online support on the University website under Blackboard, and Blackboard-Online Support. You may chat live with a support team member, submit a ticket with your issue or concern, or call directly and toll-free at (877)-615-8212. Blackboard online support may also be accessed by clicking here.
The purpose of PC Common is to allow students easy access to some instructors' course materials depending on if the instructor provides materials through PC Common. As PC Common is available to everyone at Lindenwood, information on PC Common is typically limited to common information such as syllabi and instructor office hours.
PC Common may be accessed from any campus computer (from My Computer, P Drive) or from off campus via the Lindenwood website. (Access to PC Common from off campus requires a Lionmail login and password.) Not all faculty members use PC Common to post class materials. Many prefer to use Blackboard.

Gov. Peter Shumlin will be holding a press conference in Burlington on the expansion of an early intervention and treatment program for young adults at risk of alcohol and drug abuse.
The event will be held at 11:15 Friday at the Community Health Center.
On Tuesday, Shumlin and state officials rolled out a new program aimed at rehabilitating drug users in Rutland County. The goal of rapid intervention is to identify offenders with multiple past misdemeanor convictions and integrate them into a pre-court, 90-day drug treatment program.
If participants successfully complete the program, they will not be prosecuted. Only those with nonviolent offenses will be eligible.

Hi, I've recently transitioned to the treadmill for the winter months and I'm concerned about getting the same quality of workout. The treadmill is fun and a nice change, but I've noticed my stride, speed, breathing and pretty much everything else has changed since moving indoors. Does anyone have any advice, or better yet, any cold, hard math for getting the same workout on the treadmill that I would from the roads?
Keep in mind as you run on the treadmill that the incline needs to be set at least 1 because 0 setting is almost like running down hill. Your speed on a treadmill is also different from running outside. 9 minute pace on a treadmill would be about the same as a 9.45 pace outside.
I prefer running outside to a treadmill. But, what I DO like about the treadmill is you can set a pace and keep it. And for races, you're less likely to slow down the second half. I like to slowly creep up mph through my workout which is great for that. Even 1 mph faster than your starting speed over a course of your workout makes a differance.
Hi, how do I know what % my TM is set at? I have an old model with manual feet in the back, so if I want to change the incline it's a matter of selecting a different hole, but I have no clue what % the incline is. I set it once to almost perfectly level (I used my hubby's carpenter level) and although running on it was easier & faster, after the 1st mile I started to feel pain in my knee and tops of my chins....almost like I was running downhill, but it was definately NOT a decline. I changed it back to where it was before. I put a level on it and the rear end was about 2" lower than the front.
Also in the past I have run 5K's on the road mostly flat with some hills, and finished within 33-34 minutes (I'm a return newbie with an old knee injury) and no matter how long I train I can't get myself under 42 minutes in 3 miles on my TM. Is it just easier to run on the road with longer strides than on a TM? Or do you think my ancient TM digital calculations is off?
I'll be running a 5K this Sunday, so only a few more days & I will see if it's me or the treadmill. I am pushing 50 but I feel younger and in better shape than I was at 45 so what gives? Help!
Trinewbies.com has a discussion of treadmill running here: http://www.trinewbies.com/tno_running/tno_runarticle_06.asp
JoAnn, figuring your treadmill belt is about 50" long, and the back is 2" lower than the front works out to a 4% incline, which is fairly steep. So 42 minutes for 3 miles might be expected, because you're running uphill. 1% is considered equivalent to a flat road outdoors. The link above has another link which is supposed to take you to an "effort-based" chart for treadmill running. But the link didn't work when I was there. Here's another link to the same chart: http://www.teambeast.org/training/treadmilleffort.doc
PS: To figure the incline in percent, , measure how much lower the back is than the front, multiply by 100 and divide by the length of the belt. So 2" times 100 equals 200, divided by 50 equals 4%.
Thanks Len. That link did not work for me either...but your calculations helped me a lot. Good to know just because I am getting older doens't mean I am getting slower. Yay! My TM belt is 45" long, so it turns out I have been running at a 4.4% incline. I never minded slight uphill, grades (harder yet no injury) it's the down hills that jack up my knees and cause me shin problems. Probably why set at almost level, my knee started hurting. I guess just another reason I stay indoors even during the summer. I guess any running in is better than no running at all.
Got any suggestions on how to get down the hills in a race without having to walk ? Is there a type of footing or style to get downward without hurting my sensitive knees, like how to land? Do I stay on my toes or ball of my feet, use my hole foot or towards the back of my heels?
Thanks any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.

SANTA CLARA -- When does Jim Harbaugh ever volunteer specific information about acquiring a new player?
Just about never. Harbaugh almost never does, not intentionally.
So it was interesting Monday when Harbaugh gave a detailed answer about replacing fullback Bruce Miller, out with a broken scapula.
"We're bringing in Owen Marecic, hopefully in route, and we'll look at our options," Harbaugh said of his former Stanford fullback/linebacker.
And then ... the 49ers didn't bring in Marecic and instead examined other fullback avenues.
What happened here?
Here's what: Though far from a franchise-turning moment, these machinations partly illuminated the creative tension that fuels Harbaugh's relationship with general manager Trent Baalke.
Harbaugh wanted Marecic, surely with the knowledge that Baalke and the personnel department had reservations in the past.
Though a source stressed Tuesday night that Baalke was on board with re-signing Marecic and that Marecic himself was the one who chose not to come, it was an interesting time for Harbaugh to volunteer a name.
There is a back story, there are discussions, and relationships can evolve. And tension between a strong coach and confident executive, by the way, is not necessarily a bad thing at all.
Sometimes it's the best way for two leaders to coexist -- the New York Giants won Super Bowls with Bill Parcells and George Young alternately clashing and embracing.
Bill Walsh had his moments with Eddie DeBartolo, Jr., and John McVay, and that all turned out relatively well.
So it was notable that Harbaugh offered Marecic's name so easily not long after Marecic's brief, inactive stint with the team this season.
Important point: Harbaugh doesn't have control over who gets signed -- he has a great deal of influence, but he's not in charge of the 49ers' roster.
That contracted power belongs to Baalke, and it's the way CEO Jed York wants it. (And Harbaugh, I'm told, never asked for it during the January 2011 negotiations to join the 49ers.)
And yes, when Harbaugh sits down with York to talk about a new contract this offseason, I would guess that he will ask for more input in such personnel matters.
No doubt, Baalke should and probably does seek Harbaugh's opinion, mostly relating to the 49ers offense and especially the quarterback position.
Baalke and Harbaugh have agreed on many things since January 2011, and they have built this 49ers team into a model franchise that is bristling with talent.
But from what many sources have told me, there certainly have been disagreements, including over ...
Until the front office finally urged Harbaugh to settle it down. Bethel-Thompson is currently on the practice squad.
On Monday, Harbaugh said the same about kicker Phil Dawson and safety Donte Whitner.
"Pay the man," Harbaugh said of Dawson.
Gee, who was Harbaugh talking to?
Then Smith played all 72 defensive snaps in the loss to the Colts before entering a rehab center a few days later.
There's an accumulation. But no, it's not crisis time.
It's just a natural development when you throw two alpha dogs into the same building for three years.
As someone who knows both men described it, their relationship has changed since 2011, but Harbaugh and Baalke still respect each other and believe they are good for each other and for the success of the 49ers.
Of course, when Harbaugh hears overtures from USC or Texas, he might start thinking about bargaining for more power along with more money.
But unless the 49ers win the Super Bowl and Harbaugh threatens to bolt immediately, I can't see York giving Harbaugh control of the roster.
And even if the 49ers win the Super Bowl this February, remember, they'll be doing it with the players Baalke acquired.
Harbaugh can't win big without the talent Baalke has acquired, and Baalke's talent won't win without a superior coach.
There's tension there, but there's understanding and even some compromises, too. It's just fascinating to watch it all go back and forth.
