NVIDIA Confirms It Has No Plans to Support Adaptive Sync
Subject: Graphics Cards | September 27, 2014 - 07:24 PM | Ryan Shrout
Tagged: nvidia, maxwell, gsync, g-sync, freesync, adaptive sync
During an interview that we streamed live with NVIDIA's Tom Petersen this past Thursday, it was confirmed that NVIDIA is not currently working on, or has any current plans to, add support for the VESA-based and AMD-pushed Adaptive Sync portion of the DisplayPort 1.2a specification. To quote directly:
There is no truth [to that rumor of NVIDIA Adaptive Sync support] and we have made no official comments about Adaptive Sync. One thing I can say is that NVIDIA as a company is 100% dedicated to G-Sync. We are going to continue to invest in G-Sync and it is a way we can make the gaming experience better. We have no need for Adaptive Sync. We have no intention of [implementing it]."
Discussion of G-Sync begins at 1:27:14 in our interview.
To be clear, the Adaptive Sync part of DP 1.2a and 1.3+ are optional portions of the VESA spec that is not required for future graphics processors or even future display scalar chips. That means that upcoming graphics cards from NVIDIA could still be DisplayPort 1.3 compliant without implementing support for the Adaptive Sync feature. Based on the comments above, I fully expect that to be the case.
The ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q G-Sync monitor
With that new information, you can basically assume that the future of variable refresh monitors is going to be divided: one set for users of GeForce cards and one set for users with Radeon cards. (Where Intel falls into this is up in the air.) Clearly that isn't ideal for a completely open ecosystem but NVIDIA has made the point, over and over, that what they have developed with G-Sync is difficult and not at all as simple as could be solved with the blunt instrument that Adaptive Sync is. NVIDIA has a history of producing technologies and then keeping them in-house, focusing on development specifically for GeForce owners and fans. The dream of having a VRR monitor that will run on both vendors GPUs appears to be dead.
When asked about the possibility of seeing future monitors that can support both NVIDIA G-Sync technology as well as Adaptive Sync technology, Petersen stated that while not impossible, he "would not expect to see such a device."
The future of G-Sync is still in development. Petersen stated:
"Don't think that were done. G-Sync is not done. Think of G-Sync as the start of NVIDIA solving the problems for gamers that are related to displays...G-Sync is our first technology that makes games look better on displays. But you can start looking at displays and make a lot of things better."

So now we await for the first round of prototype FreeSync / Adaptive Sync monitors to hit our labs. AMD has put a lot of self-inflicted pressure on itself for this release by making claims, numerous times, that FreeSync will be just as good of an experience as G-Sync, and I am eager to see if they can meet that goal. Despite any ill feelings that some users might have about NVIDIA and some of its policies, it typically does a good job of maintaining a high quality user experience with these custom technologies. AMD will have to prove that what it has developed is on the same level. We should know more about that before we get too much further into fall.

EVGA PrecisionX 16 Now Available
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | September 26, 2014 - 02:03 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: steam, precisionx 16, precisionx, overclocking, nvidia, evga
If you were looking to download EVGA Precision X recently, you were likely disappointed. For a few months now, the software was unavailable because of a disagreement between the add-in board (AIB) partner and Guru3D (and the RivaTuner community). EVGA maintains that it was a completely original work, and references to RivaTuner are a documentation error. As a result, they pulled the tool just a few days after launching X 15.
... and they have recently relaunched with PrecisionX 16.
This new version, besides probably cleaning up all of the existing issues mentioned above, adds support for the new GeForce GTX 900-series cards, a new interface, an "OSD" for inside applications, and Steam Achievements (??). You can get a permanent badge on your Steam account for breaking 1200 MHz on your GPU, taking a screenshot, or restoring settings to default. I expect that latter badge is one of shame, like the Purple Heart from Battlefield, that is not actually a bad thing and says nothing less of your overclocking skills by pressing it. Seriously, save yourself some headache and just press default if things just do not seem right.
PrecisionX 16 is free, available now, and doesn't require an EVGA card (just a site sign-up).
HTC Making the Google Nexus 9 with NVIDIA Tegra K1?
Subject: General Tech, Mobile | September 26, 2014 - 01:45 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: tablet, Nexus, google, nexus 9, nvidia, tegra k1
The Nexus line is due for an update, with each product being released for at least a year. They are devices which embody Google's vision... for their own platform. You can fall on either side of that debate, whether it guides OEM partners or if it is simply a shard the fragmentation issue, if you even believe that fragmentation is bad, but they are easy to recommend and a good benchmark for Android.
We are expecting a few new entries in the coming months, one of which being the Nexus 9. Of note, it is expected to mark the return of HTC to the Nexus brand. They were the launch partner with the Nexus One and then promptly exited stage left as LG, Samsung, and ASUS performed the main acts.
We found this out because NVIDIA spilled the beans on their lawsuit filing against Qualcomm and Samsung. Apparently, "the HTC Nexus 9, expected in the third quarter of 2014, is also expected to use the Tegra K1". It has since been revised to remove the reference. While the K1 has a significant GPU to back it up, it will likely be driving a very high resolution display. The Nexus 6 is expected to launch at around the same time, along with Android 5.0 itself, and the 5.2-inch phone is rumored to have a 1440p display. It seems unlikely that a larger, tablet display will be lower resolution than the phone it launches alongside -- and there's not much room above it.
The Google Nexus 9 is expected for "Q3".

Cheap laptops are expected to cut into mobile GPU sales
Subject: General Tech | September 24, 2014 - 12:56 PM | Jeremy Hellstrom
Tagged: amd, nvidia, hp, dell, asus, acer, toshibe, mobile gpu
The growing market of low cost $200 to $400 10" to 15" laptops is expected to cut into the sales of AMD and NVIDIA's mobile GPUs as they are forced to focus more on higher end models. That is a much smaller market and the margins generally favour the laptop vendor as opposed to the company providing the mobile GPU. This will be felt more strongly by NVIDIA as AMD's APU lineup will appear in the smaller and less expensive notebooks but will still have an effect on AMD's bottom line over the coming quarters. DigiTimes also mentioned that AMD's R9 390X is due out in the first half of 2015 and that both companies are currently reducing the price of their GPUs in the hopes of increasing their sales volumes on the desktop.
"Notebook vendors including Hewlett-Packard (HP), Dell, Lenovo, Asustek Computer, Acer and Toshiba, will launch low-cost models with CPUs with integrated graphics in the fourth quarter of 2014 and therefore AMD and Nvidia are expected to see demand for their discrete mobile GPUs decrease, according to Taiwan-based supply chain makers."

Technical Specifications
Here they come - the G-Sync monitors are finally arriving at our doors! A little over a month ago we got to review the ASUS ROG Swift PG278Q, a 2560x1440 144 Hz monitor that was the first retail-ready display to bring NVIDIA's variable refresh technology to consumers. It was a great first option with a high refresh rate along with support for ULMB (ultra low motion blur) technology, giving users a shot at either option.
Today we are taking a look at our second G-Sync monitor that will hit streets sometime in mid-October with an identical $799 price point. The Acer XB280HK is a 28-in 4K monitor with a maximum refresh rate of 60 Hz and of course, support for NVIDIA G-Sync.
The Acer XB280HK, first announced at Computex in June, is the first 4K monitor on the market to be announced with support for variable refresh. It isn't that far behind the first low-cost 4K monitors to hit the market, period: the ASUS PB287Q and the Samsung U28D590D both shipped in May of 2014 with very similar feature sets, minus G-Sync. I discussed much of the general usability benefits (and issues) that arose when using a consumer 4K panel with Windows 8.1 in those reviews, so you'll want to be sure you read up on that in addition to the discussion of 4K + G-Sync we'll have today.
While we dive into the specifics on the Acer XB280HK monitor today, I will skip over most of the discussion about G-Sync, how it works and why we want it. In our ASUS PG278Q review I had a good, concise discussion on the technical background of NVIDIA G-Sync technology and how it improves gaming.
The idea of G-Sync is pretty easy to understand, though the implementation method can get a bit more hairy. G-Sync introduces a variable refresh rate to a monitor, allowing the display to refresh at wide range of rates rather than at fixed intervals. More importantly, rather than the monitor dictating what rate this refresh occurs at to the PC, the graphics now tells the monitor when to refresh in a properly configured G-Sync setup. This allows a monitor to match the refresh rate of the screen to the draw rate of the game being played (frames per second) and that simple change drastically improves the gaming experience for several reasons.

Excuse Me, Your SLI Is Glowing
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | September 24, 2014 - 02:41 AM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: sli, nvidia
SLI Bridges are thrown in with compatible motherboards and there is usually little reason to want anything else. They work. There is no performance advantage for getting a "better" one, unless it does not connect with your specific arrangement of two-to-four cards. Today, NVIDIA gives another reason: a soft, beautiful glow to match the green "GeForce GTX" on the cards themselves.
Mind you, this is not the first glowing SLI Bridge. EVGA even provided us with a few of their own for a giveaway last year.
NVIDIA has three models, depending on the layout of your cards. 3-way SLI will need to be arranged as a series of two-wide with no gaps, using the "3-Way SLI Bridge". 2-way configurations have the choice of two empty slots between the two-wide cards, or no gap; former would purchase the "2-Way Spaced SLI Bridge" and the later, the "2-Way SLI Bridge". They each require GeForce GTX 770 cards, or better, as well as a recent GeForce Experience (1.7+). Certain non-reference designs may be incompatible.
The SLI Bridges are available now. Both 2-Way bridges are $29.99 and the 3-Way is $39.99.
NVIDIA GeForce 344.11 Driver and GeForce Experience 2.1.2 Released Alongside Maxwell-based GTX 980 and GTX 970
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | September 20, 2014 - 12:56 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: nvidia, maxwell, graphics drivers, geforce experience
Update: There is also the 344.16 for the GTX 970 and GTX 980, resolving an issue specific to them.
When they release a new graphics card, especially in a new architecture, NVIDIA will have software ready to support it. First and most obvious, Maxwell comes with the GeForce 344.11 drivers - which is the first to support only Fermi and later GPUs. Mostly, the driver's purpose is supporting the new graphics cards and optimizing to Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, The Evil Within, F1 2014, and Alien: Isolation. It also supports multi-monitor G-Sync, which was previously impossible, even with three single-DisplayPort Kepler cards.
At the same time, NVIDIA launched a new GeForce Experience with more exciting features. First, and I feel least expected, it allows the SHIELD Wireless Controller to be connected to a PC, but only wired with its provided USB cable. This also means that you cannot use the controller without a GeForce graphics card.
If you have a GeForce GTX 900-series add-in board, you will be able to use Dynamic Super Resolution (DSR) and record in 4K video with ShadowPlay. Performance when recording on a PC in SLI mode has been improved also, apparently even for Kepler-based cards.
Both the drivers and GeForce Experience are available now.
Developer's View on DirectX 12 Alongside Maxwell Launch
Subject: General Tech, Graphics Cards | September 20, 2014 - 12:06 PM | Scott Michaud
Tagged: unreal engine 4, nvidia, microsoft, maxwell, DirectX 12, DirectX
Microsoft and NVIDIA has decided to release some information about DirectX 12 (and DirectX 11.3) alongside the launch of the Maxwell-based GeForce GTX 980 and GeForce GTX 970 graphics cards. Mostly, they announced that Microsoft teamed up with Epic Games to bring DirectX 12 to Unreal Engine 4. They currently have two demos, Elemental and Infiltrator, that are up and running with DirectX 12.
Moreover, they have provided a form for developers who are interested in "early access" to apply for it. They continually discuss it in terms of Unreal Engine 4, but they do not explicitly say that other developers cannot apply. UE4 subscribers will get access to the Elemental demo in DX12, but it does not look like Infiltrator will be available.
DirectX 12 is expected to target games for Holiday 2015.

Sydney - Former Australian cricket coach Tim Nielsen signed with a regional development programme on Thursday, fresh from his national resignation following a sweeping review of the sport.
Two days after quitting as Australian coach, Nielsen said he would head South Australian cricket's "Emerging Redbacks" scheme, aimed at developing the state's new cricket talent.
The top job was thrown open after the seven-month Argus Review of Australian cricket recommended the creation of an expanded head coach position, which Nielsen would have had to apply for, despite already being at the helm.
"Four weeks ago the review findings were handed down and I felt that made it quite difficult for me to continue in the role I was doing with Australian cricket," Nielsen told reporters on Thursday.
"I'm not sure in my own mind I was willing to go through the process or put myself back in the mixer after four and half years of doing the job."
He said he "coincidentally" learned of the South Australian role while digesting the Argus review, and talks with his family ultimately sealed his decision.
"A week ago, I got to the stage where my wife actually turned up in Colombo unannounced and brought the three kids over for a chat because she realised we were doing it a bit tough," he said.
"When we had the opportunity to sit down face to face, it probably took a pretty clear turn to say that it's going to be difficult to get the role back."
The sweeping Argus Review was ordered by the Australian cricket board after the Test team's humiliating 3-1 Ashes series defeat at home to England this year.
Nielsen presided over two Ashes series losses against England, and Australia also failed to retain the limited-overs World Cup in April under his watch after winning it on the last three occasions.
Australian cricket is undergoing a transitional period following the retirement of greats like Shane Warne, Mathew Hayden, Glenn McGrath and Adam Gilchrist.
Nielsen, 43, said he "certainly didn't expect to be standing here" a month ago, but refused to make any further comment about stepping down from the national squad after four years, describing it as a "personal decision".
The hunt is now on for a new mentor, with ex-New Zealand coach Steve Rixon emerging as a frontrunner and former Australian Test batsman Justin Langer also in the running, at least as interim replacement while a tour of South Africa looms.
Australian Test captain Michael Clarke earlier said Nielsen had done an "amazing job for Australia", and though he anticipated having some input into the decision, declined to nominate a successor.
"He's been fantastic for me, not only as a captain, but as a player and he's certainly going to be missed.
"But in regards to names I'm not going to get involved in that because to me it's irrelevant."

Report: Iran Dismantles Israel-Linked Spy Network
Tehran, Iran (AP) Iranian state radio says an alleged espionage network with links to Israel's Mossad spy agency has been dismantled.
Monday's radio report featured the chief of Iran's Revolutionary Guards, Gen. Mohammad Ali Jafari. He says the guards' intelligence unit recently discovered the network.
Jafari says the alleged network was trying to collect information on Iran's nuclear program and the guards' military operations as well as details on military and security officials.
He says equipment was confiscated. He didn't specify who belonged to the network or whether arrests were made.
Earlier this month, Iran executed an Iranian electronics salesman convicted of relaying information on the nuclear program to Mossad.

According to a statement from the U.S. Department of Defense, a consortium of 89 manufacturers, universities, industry and non-profits organized by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will form the New Revolutionary Fibers and Textiles Manufacturing Innovation Hub. The consortium operating as Advanced Functional Fabrics of America will be leading the research work, under the management of the U.S. Army.
The U.S. Department of Defense will invest $75 million in the program, which will be combined with nearly $250 million in contributions from non-federal entities to fund the next generation fiber-textile chain research. Leading technology firms such as Bose, Intel and many innovative textile companies are involved in the effort. The new revolutionary fiber institute is the eighth manufacturing innovation hub initiative by President Obama administered through the U.S. Department of Defense. These institutes are aimed at developing high-tech sectors in the U.S. to enable them to be competitive, especially in the manufacturing sector
How BIG is this market? In April we attended US Department of Commerce Smart Textile Conference. Notable results incldued a report by Jeff Rasmussen | Market Research Manager, IFAI | who estimates the market for smart fabrics in 2016 is estimated to be US$2.25 Billion. Contact us for a copy of the report And this number only represents the smart fabrics portion of the conductive fiber/filmmarket, not the portion for conductive wires used for aircraft and space shielding!
Does the conductive fiber industry need standards? Earlier we raided the issue to standards for conductive fibers. Now we are pleased to note that discussions are u8nderway at US Department of Commerce, and IFAI on developing standards. This is a most exciting development, one which we have engaged in discussions.
This web site is brought to you by member conductive yarn and fiber manufactures, researchers, industry vendors, and others in order to increase the awareness of, knowledge about, and utilization of conducitve fibers. We want to eliminate tradeoffs and help you optimize your conductivity choices.
Feel free to contact us with questions, or tell us how this website can better serve your needs.

Where is their safe haven?
This morning I woke up to a news story which has me reeling.
A fellow special needs mom, a brave woman who fought tooth and nail for her daughter's education and placement in a top notch residential facility has been charged with attempted murder and suicide.
When I first read the news story I was speechless. I know this mom. I have spoken with her via private message, on twitter, and we have read and commented on each other's blogs for more than two years.
More importantly…..I want to know how we keep it from happening again?
In most states there is a Safe-Haven Law. Here in Maryland this law reads as follows:
The problem with this law is that it only applies to infants up to ten days old and the law varies from state to state.
We need a nation-wide law that permits a parent or caregiver to relinquish a child (regardless of that child's abilities) at a hospital or with any first responder without fear of civil liability or criminal prosecution. We need a law such as this to save not just the life of the child but quite possibly the life of the one relinquishing them.
I can't help but wonder how many who have murdered their children would have made another choice if an option such as this existed? One? Two? Maybe all of them?
Making the choice to kill your child because caring for them has become too much has to be the most extreme form of selfishness imaginable. With that final violent act the person is saying no one on this entire earth is capable of caring for their child. That no one else could possibly have the solution to a what they as an individual consider insurmountable.
They're wrong.
There is always a better, safer option.
Perhaps this unfortunate event which has hit so close to home for those of us in our community will be a catalyst for major changes ahead? I don't know what the first steps are to changing and/or proposing new laws. But, I know there needs to be one. I'm going to start asking the hard questions and seeking out those who can help me answer them.
I want to see a Safe Surrender Law.
I think you would all agree our community needs this. The children need this. Their caregivers need this.
Issy needed this.
God, please join me in making this happen.

The end of one year and the beginning of another is strange in anyone's language. Enormous energy is expended preparing for a transition time that is, let's be honest, fictional at best.
Nelson Mandela is rightly being eulogized as a great world leader who endured imprisonment and brought about a peaceful end to South Africa's apartheid regime. Mandela's greatness should be seen in contrast with the corruption of Zimbabwe president Robert Mugabe. Their early lives and political situations were similar; the fruits of their political stewardship could not be more different.
In his autobiography, Report to Greco, Nikos Kazantzakis recounts a conversation he once had with an old monk. Kazantzakis, a young man at the time, was visiting a monastery and was very taken by a famed ascetic, Father Makarios, who lived there. But a series of visits with the old monk left him with some ambivalent feelings as well.
The last few days I have not been feeling well. Some sort of winter flu in my chest, causing the usual aches and pains. I am always amazed how our perspective changes when we are not well. We become lethargic, withdrawn and generally miserable with the thoughts looped in our brain. I hope I get better soon.
In reading Church history, I found that Barnabas was the only educated disciple among the early followers of Jesus. Barnabas was well-versed in Hebrew and Aramaic, the languages in which Jesus preached. I find it surprising that little is mentioned of his own account of Jesus' preaching.
Last weekend, I took the time to read Pope Francis' new apostolic letter Evangelii Gaudium. It is a demanding read (85 pages, single spaced). It is a joyful, exciting, surprising and hope-filled text that continually challenges the reader.
Pope Francis has produced a marvellous apostolic exhortation in Evangelii Gaudium (The Joy of Evangelization). There was a time when one might have expected that such a document would be about turning "pagans" into crisp new Catholics. That day is long gone.
People are always impatient, but God is never in a hurry!" Nikos Kazantzakis wrote those words and they highlight an important truth: We need to be patient, infinitely patient, with God. We need to let things unfold in their proper time, God's time.
In the early years of our marriage, I was often frustrated by the differences between my husband and me.
In the First Reading for the Dec. 8 Mass we read from Isaiah 11: "The wolf will live with the lamb, The leopard shall lie down with the kid, The calf and the lion and fatling together, And a little child shall lead them."

Get a sense of what is happening on Boroondara's shared paths and where gaps are being filled.
This project involves the construction of a new bridge across Gardiners Creek east of Glenferrie Road, which will improve the level of safety for cyclists and pedestrians and provide a more direct route for users.
The Gardiners Creek Trail is one of Melbourne's busiest cycling commuter routes, used by up to 2,800 cyclists a day. The Gardiners Creek Trail in Hawthorn is also a popular pedestrian route which is used to access H.A. Smith Reserve, the University of Melbourne Hawthorn Campus, Scotch College, Kooyong Lawn Tennis Club and Kooyong Railway Station.
At present, path users must walk or ride along a narrow section of footpath along the eastern side of Glenferrie Road. On this footpath there are a number of obstacles such as a driveway, tram poles and traffic signal posts that narrow the path. Path users are then required to perform a loop manoeuvre to access the trail on the south side of the creek before proceeding under Glenferrie Road.
During peak times there is a high volume of cyclists and pedestrians from both directions and significant potential for conflict along this section of the path.
The new bridge will address these issues by providing a route for cyclists to cross the creek. The 29m bridge has a width of 4.3m to accommodate the high volume of users. New approach paths and lighting will also be provided.

Hi everyone,
First of all, I've searched the forums and I've noticed people with the same problem, but the solution was never clear or didn't worked, so I've decided to create another topic to see what the problem is.
So, as the title says, I'm making changes in CSS and I save them and everything is there, but when I go to the page itself, nothing changed! I've cleaned my cache, I even tried in two different domains, and it's always the same error.
I even tried different versions of WordPress and different themes, but the only way I could see some changes was when I applied the styles directly in the PHP instead of the CSS. But that isn't pratical...
So, does anyone knows how to solve this? Or what's the problem?
Thank you in advance.

Very important game even though its the first game. We want to set a tone and beat the defending NFC champs in their place.
Things we have to do to win.
-Run the ball with Gore
-Get Vernon Davis involved
-Need good protection from the oline
-Need to create TO's
-Need to be careful with the blitz we send against warner because he is very good at picking up the blitz and getting rid of the ball.
-Need to get a rush up the middle so warner doesn't step up and make throws.
- Against the cards we have to play the bend but don't break defense because they will get their yards but we have to limit them to FG's in the redzone.
Most IMPORTANT, BRING THE PAIN

As 2015 begins, a look at … 2016 opponentsPosted by on July 31, 2015 – 8:46 am
Yes, training camp starts today (hopefully you can check out our redesigned homepage and our training camp page.) But before we get off and running, how about a quick glance at the Cardinals' opponents for the 2016 season — which, as you know, the league has determined 14 of the 16 regular-season games already.
— New Orleans Saints
— Tampa Bay Buccaneers
— New England Patriots
— New York Jets
— NFC East team that finishes in same divisional spot as Cardinals
— Seattle Seahawks
— San Francisco 49ers
— St. Louis Rams (assuming the Rams are still in St. Louis)
— Carolina Panthers
— Atlanta Falcons
— Buffalo Bills
— Miami Dolphins
— NFC North team that finishes in same divisional spot as Cardinals
— Seattle Seahawks
— San Francisco 49ers
— St. Louis Rams (even more important to see if Rams are still in St. Louis)

Cromartie keeping options openPosted by on January 17, 2015 – 9:53 am
Cardinals cornerback Antonio Cromartie has been a natural go-to guy the last few days to talk about Todd Bowles as the new New York Jets coach, since Cromartie just played for Bowles and since he still has a lot of media relationships with New York media after playing so many years with the Jets. He went on NFL Network to talk about Bowles — and also about his future given his impending free agency.
During his Bowles' analysis, Cromartie noted "$50 million in cap space" the Jets have to work with. That probably wasn't a coincidence, especially from a guy who didn't really want to leave the Jets last year in the first place.
"I'm leaving the door open," Cromartie said. "Right now, until the Super Bowl is over, I'm still an Arizona Cardinal. Until they come to me about a conteact, I'm still an Arizona Cardinal. Once March 10 at 4 o'clock hits, March 12 at 9 a.m. hits, and no one's offered me a contract, then I'm free game. And I'm open to anything to go out and try to win a championship and help any organization."
(Free agency does indeed start March 10 at 2 p.m. Arizona time, which will be 4 p.m. Eastern.)
Cromartie made $3.5 million on a one-year contract this season. He had a good season and is a Pro Bowl alternate. But his signing, and his season, has long played out as a parallel to the one linebacker Karlos Dansby had in 2013 for the Cardinals. Dansby, like Cromartie, signed with the Cardinals for one year when the free agent market did not play out the way they wanted. Dansby, like Cromartie, had a good season (Dansby actually had an excellent season, even better than Cro's.) But both are on the wrong side of 30 in a league that values youth. There has always been a good chance Cromartie's situation plays out just like Dansby's did — I expect the Cardinals to make a solid offer, although it may only be for two or three years. And it's easy to see another team swooping in to offer more years/more money. The Browns did that with Dansby, and maybe the Jets — or the Bills, who now have Cro's former coach, Rex Ryan — will do the same with Cromartie.
Cromartie, as he said, is open to everything.

Michael Bidwill on passing of Bills owner Ralph WilsonPosted by on March 25, 2014 – 12:46 pm
Buffalo Bills owner Ralph Wilson, one of the founding members of the American Football League and a Pro Football Hall of Fame member, died today at the age of 95. The Cardinals released a statement from team president Michael Bidwill.
"At a critical juncture in the National Football League's history, Ralph Wilson provided a level of leadership and vision that helped make the NFL what it is today," Bidwill said. "He not only recognized the sport's potential popularity and success but was pivotal in helping to achieve it. Our hearts go out to his wife Mary, the Bills organization and everyone in Western New York on their tremendous loss."

Fitz's comments on changes, and Whiz's futurePosted by on January 1, 2013 – 9:48 am
Wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald put out a statement in regards to the firings Monday of coach Ken Whisenhunt and general manager Rod Graves:
"We all shoulder the blame for a disappointing season which began with such promise. A unique relationship with all of my coaches past and present is a valued life experience. I would like to thank them all, especially Coach Ken Whisenhunt and General Manager Rod Graves who gave me the opportunity to live my dream in the NFL.
"Even in the midst of a tumultuous season, it was still a pleasure to work for the staff we served under, and for that, we remain grateful. Their professionalism will provide for renewed accomplishments in different environs. We all, to a man, thank them and wish them the best."
Fitz hadn't been available in the locker room Monday, but after the game Sunday, he was asked about if he ever would give his input to the team going into offseason.
"Yeah, in opportune times I speak up, but I don't think you should air your dirty laundry either," Fitzgerald said. "This is a close-knit group. We have a great relationship with each other and I think it's best done in house and I've always believed that."
Fitz, however, added — again — it doesn't really come up. "If they ask me any questions I'll be always open to talk and give them my opinion, but it hasn't happened in nine years so I don't expect it to happen any time soon," he said. " I'll be ready when my numbers' called."
There is little question this move has a potential huge impact on Fitz. The offensive issues killed his season. How Fitz would fit with whatever the new offense will look like — and who would be throwing him the ball — will be one of the top storylines.
— It's no surprise Ken Whisenhunt is in search of another head coaching job at this point. Kevin Acee reported Whiz was interested in the Chargers job (although no word that the Chargers were actually interested in him.) Tim Graham said the Bills will probably be interested in Whiz, and interestingly, one of the other two known candidates is Cards' DC Ray Horton. Whiz apparently had contract language with the Cards that means any new job salary he gets comes off the $5.5 million they owe him. That would allow a new team, in theory, to get him cheap in 2013 (since Whiz will get $5.5M regardless) but at the same time, would save the Cards at least some money as opposed to if Whiz just sits out this next season.

Bills aftermathPosted by on October 14, 2012 – 7:28 pm
With everything that happened – and in terms of writing about a game, that's one in which everything before the five-minute-left mark of regulation is virtually immaterial – I can't get past the dropped screen pass to LaRod Stephens-Howling in overtime, the play before John Skelton's interception. Ken Whisenhunt was sure it was set up for significant yardage, and from my spot down on the sideline at that point in the game, that's how it looked to me too. Even if it only picks up eight or nine yards, the Cards are in a totally different spot.
Maybe Skelton still throws a pick on the drive, maybe not. It's just hard to feel, the way the game was playing out (and the way the Bills were calling plays) that the Bills weren't going to drive for a score. Hindsight and all that, I suppose. But Sunday was a gut-wrencher.
It's really classic NFL reaction, I guess. Jay Feely's kick goes through at the end of regulation, or if the Cards find a way to win in OT, and it's all good, relatively speaking. Instead, you fight the feeling that the sky is falling. I do think this – that game in Minnesota next week might be the tipping point for either one of the two upstart teams, whoever loses.
— I guess we're going to be back talking about who is the starting quarterback again. I'm assuming we won't know much more tomorrow about the status of Kevin Kolb's ribs, unless it's some devastating injury that ends his season (which I don't think it will be.) So then we'll see if Skelton is back under center. Skelton looked rusty when he came in, completing just 2-of-10 throws. He'll get more practice time this week. It's the story that just never quite goes away though.
— Larry Fitzgerald had a very good game, when they could get him the ball. There was no cheesy stat-padding today. Every one of his six catches seemed to hold importance (and that one-handed sideline grab that didn't count because it was out of bounds still is highlight-worthy — check out the photo below.) The grab he made to keep the Cards alive on fourth down before Feely's 61-yarder was amazing.
Plus he surpassed the 10,000-yard mark for his career. Not that he cared. "It's been a long time since we've been at home and not won so it still hasn't registered to me, really," Fitz said. "I'm just disappointed we didn't come out and protect home field. That's bothering me right now."
— Speaking of Feely's kick, it was blocked. Not enough to knock it all the way down, but enough to cause problems. Alex Carrington, a Bills defensive lineman got it, and I suppose given all the times the Cards have used a blocked kick to save a game, it's a painful reminder the Cardinals do not have the market cornered on such crucial saves.
— Props to Feely, though, on the 61-yarder. It destroyed his career-high of 55 yards. I didn't think he had it in him. I guess that was foolish.
— The Cards had 182 yards rushing. Yes, 24 of it came on a fake punt and 66 of it was Kolb's on scrambles. Yes, it came against a defense that struggles against the run. But still, 182 yards is 182 yards, easily the best of the season. William Powell looked OK, didn't he? To get 70 yards on 13 carries was impressive. I'm guessing the Cards will be willing to ride this for now.
— If you watched the game on TV, you saw Whiz light into fullback Reagan Maui'a for his post-play spike after a key eight-yard reception. It cost the Cards five of those yards on a delay of game and virtually stopped that drive, which looked good up until that point. Tight end Jeff King false-started after that and everything got backward quickly. "You can't do that," Whiz said. "It's just stupidity." It's also never a good thing for a player who is always on the verge of being released anyway, as starter Anthony Sherman tries to return to health.
— Safety Kerry Rhodes left with a back injury and Rhodes was walking like it in the locker room. Bad backs can be tricky. It also looked like a Bills player hit Rhodes low in the leg (kind of cheap-looking, although I'd like to see another replay) before he was carried off, so let's hope there isn't anything besides the back to complicate things.
— Safety Rashad Johnson, who ran the 24 yards as the up back on the fake punt, actually walked on at the University of Alabama as a running back before he was switched to safety. "I played running back for two years there," Johnson said. "Anytime I can get the opportunity to do that – anything to get the offense an extra possession, maybe get points, I'll lobby for it again."
Bottom line today: These are the games the Cardinals play. It finally bit them back.

Friday before the BillsPosted by on October 12, 2012 – 4:03 pm
There will be many things that people will be waiting to see Sunday when the Cards finally kick off against the Bills – how the Cards' run game looks, whether the Bills have recovered from a couple of historical beat-downs – but from the Cardinals' side of the fence, it'll be Arizona's first few pass plays that will be under the microscope. The Bills won't have (struggling) defensive end Mark Anderson, although they do have (struggling) defensive tackle Marcell Dareus and (struggling) defensive end Mario Williams. There has been plenty of talk not surprisingly, from the Buffalo perspective that their pass rush can get healthy against the Cards. It's vice versa for the Cards, who count on righting the pass-protection ship after surrendering 17 sacks the past two games.
"If you go into the game thinking that you are going to do that just because, you could be in for a rude awakening," Mario Williams said. "If we go out and think, 'Oh well, it's going to be easy because the last two teams did this,' we could be in for a rude awakening."
Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb spoke again this week about how there were many facets in the pas game that need to do better to improve the pass protection. Someone suggested more three-step drops for Kolb, which the quarterback dismissed. "You can't just go to three-step drops," Kolb said. "That's not the way the game is."
You can't just do a lot of anything. Pro teams – and pro coaches – figure that out soon enough. Leave more guys in to block? OK, but that's fewer people in pass routes, and fewer options for which Kolb to pass. Coach Ken Whisenhunt knows he needs better technique from his blockers, better protection schemes and better overall play. There's will have been 10 days to try and iron some of this out.
— There are two banged-up teams going out to play. With cornerbacks Greg Toler and Michael Adams doubtful, it sure sounds like rookie Jamell Fleming will be thrust back into a prominent defensive role. And kind-of-newcomer Crezdon Butler may be active right off the bat after being away from the team since being cut at the end of the preseason. The Bills, meanwhile, are missing a pair of starting offensive linemen themselves.
— Cornerback William Gay, who stands to start across from Patrick Peterson again Sunday, has struggled at times. Defensive coordinator Ray Horton said it is technique issues with Gay, and along those lines, Gay's role was reduced against the Rams. "Obviously, he's capable," Horton said. "He had a good week of practice. We reduced his role and message sent, I believe. Now, whether message was received or not, we'll find out."
— The Bills have allowed 97 points the last two games, to the Patriots and 49ers. That doesn't necessarily mean the Cardinals will suddenly break out, but if the Cards' offense is going to have a chance to improve, this is a matchup you want.
— Quarterback John Skelton is listed as probable for the first time since his ankle injury. I fully expect Kolb to start – who wouldn't? – but Skelton, I would guess, would be the backup. After that, I don't know if we are going to have any big announcement or not. The Cards are going to go through the gauntlet on the schedule after this game, at Minnesota, home against the Niners, at Green Bay and at Atlanta, which will be rough on whoever is playing QB.
— Today is Adrian Wilson's birthday. He turned 33. His biceps don't look a day over 27.
— Yes, I used that on Twitter.
— Speaking of birthdays, analyst and Cardinals Underground compatriot Ron Wolfley turns 50 Sunday, with the Cards playing against his hometown team. How great is that?
— The Cards are wearing black Sunday, as a reminder. And pink. This is the annual Breast Cancer Awareness game, in case you are still putting together your gameday outfit.
— It probably saved an interception return for a touchdown – and it wasn't even flagged at the time – but wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald was dinged for a $7,850 fine from the NFL after grabbing cornerback Janoris Jenkins' facemask on a play against the Rams. The Rams didn't escape fines for their play, though. Two players were nailed for roughing up Kevin Kolb – defensive tackle Jermelle Cudjo was fined $7,875 for roughing the passer when he ripped Kolb's helmet off, while defensive end Robert Quinn was fined $15,750 for hitting Kolb helmet-to-helmet.
— Fitz needs 48 receiving yards to reach 10,000 in his career.
— Fitz, by the way, wasn't about to pop off about the Bills' struggles. "I always remember my grandfather said, you let a sleeping dog lie," he said. "We just don't want to ruffle any feathers and try to sneak out of here with a 'W' without getting anyone upset."
It seems like it's been forever since the Cards last played.

Getting offensive against the BillsPosted by on October 11, 2012 – 10:50 am
The Cardinals have had their offensive issues. The statistics say they could benefit Sunday by playing the Bills.
The Bills have given up more than 1,200 yards the past two games against the Patriots and 49ers. The 49ers became the first team ever to pass for 300 yards and rush for 300 yards in a single game. "It stinks right now," defensive tackle Kyle Williams told the Rochester Democrat and Chronicle. "We stink. We have stunk the past two weeks." The Bills are allowing almost 172 rushing yards a game. The Cardinals are only rushing for 63 yards a game, and will rely on three running backs who won't supposed to be a major part of the equation.
Add into the equation the Bills are playing on the road — in a place where the Cardinals have been very successful against AFC teams — and the Cards have some things in their favor.
Obviously, the Cardinals can't take anything for granted. They have struggled to protect quarterback Kevin Kolb (17 sacks the past two games) but in both the last two games there were openings to win regardless. "I'm sure we'll both play with chips on our shoulder, but for us it's all about winning," Kolb said. "I don't care if it's 6-3 or 60-53. I really don't care. At this point in my career, I want to win football games, regardless of how it looks."
Wherever the Cardinals are mentally — and at 4-1, it sure seems OK to me, despite all the things said about this team following the loss to the Rams — it's a better place than the Bills. It is Buffalo which has a bigger hurdle to clear in that regard, especially after looking at the beatdowns of the last two games and hearing coach Chan Gailey talk about how his team has to overcome the "hurt."
"I mean your soul is hurt," Gailey said. "You hurt in your heart. You hurt in your brain. You hurt everywhere when you do not play well."

The AFC at UoP with WhizPosted by on October 10, 2012 – 10:21 am
Ken Whisenhunt coached in Pittsburgh for six seasons before coming to the Cardinals and knew what he'd be seeing when the AFC teams played his new team in Arizona. That's worked out well.
The Cardinals have been a good home team since Whisenhunt's arrival in 2007, and no place does that show up more than when AFC teams come to visit, like will happen Sunday when the Buffalo Bills will be the opponent. It's the second and final AFC visitor of the season, and of the 11 previous AFC teams to come to town, the Cardinals have beaten nine of them and will be the favorite Sunday against the reeling Bills.
The only two home AFC losses in Whiz's tenure came in 2009, when the powerful Colts beat up the Cards on "Sunday Night Football" and last year, when the Steelers caught the Cardinals at arguably their lowest point in the season in a 32-20 Pittsburgh win. Because of the way the schedule has worked out, the Cards have seen repeat AFC visitors in that time. The Cards have beaten Miami twice, Cleveland twice, along with a then-undefeated Buffalo (when Adrian Wilson knocked QB Trent Edwards out of the game, below), Houston (late goal-line stand), Oakland (Janikowski's shocking missed field goal) and Denver (the Jay Feely score-a-thon.)
Next season, the AFC teams who will visit Arizona are the Texans and Colts again.

Taking the thought process widePosted by on April 7, 2011 – 3:29 pm
Took part in a mock draft (it'll be on Patriots.com sooner rather than later) today and got another version of the top four. I wasn't told who took who, but by the time my "pick" came up, these were the four gone — Cam Newton, Von Miller, Marcell Dareus and Blaine Gabbert.
(That was the order listed too; it'd be interesting to see if that matches the teams. Miller to Denver? Dareus to Buffalo? Gabbert to Cincy?)
I stayed chalk with my thought process in that regard. I stuck with defense and went with cornerback Patrick Peterson. But … obviously, wide receiver A.J. Green remains on the board in that scenario. Anyone reading my stuff knows I think receiver here is highly unlikely. Highly unlikely. The Cards already have a top receiver in Larry Fitzgerald and they clearly want/expect him to be here long-term. Bringing in a second such playmaker at that position — especially when you very well should be able to find a playmaker at another position (like Peterson, for instance) — makes little sense to me. You aren't even sure you have a QB who can get it to Fitz yet, much less to two such guys.
That being said, there are those who'd like to see it (I'm looking at you, Georgiebird) and there are arguments that can be made, as long as you operate under the assumption the Cardinals see Green as an exceptional, off-the-charts talent. (I'm not saying they do, and there are those who don't even think Green is better than fellow draftee-to-be Julio Jones). For the moment, let's make that assumption.
The Cardinals aren't sure if they can keep Fitzgerald, whose contract runs out after the 2011 season, long-term. He needs to sign an extension, and while both he and the team have said many times they want it to happen, Fitz has also made plain his desire to win, and that involves the fluid situation of finding a QB. Even if Fitz is a lifetime Card, the rest of the receiving corps is still in question. Steve Breaston doesn't have a contract. Early Doucet hasn't proven he can stay healthy. Andre Roberts, as well as he finished the season, hasn't proven he will succeed.
Then there is the idea — again, depending on the grades we won't know — that Green would be the best player available, too good to pass up. We've played this game before, back in 2007, when it was Levi over Peterson when Edge was around. Need was above "best player," and maybe this year the need — other than QB — lies on the defense.
(But even then it's not always cut-and-dried even when it works. Cards went BPA in 2004, because Fitz was the BPA. Would the Cards, who already had star-in-the-making Anquan Boldin, been better off with a top three class of Roethlisberger, Dansby and Dockett instead? Sure, Kurt Warner came along a year later, but it's interesting food for thought).
I reiterate, I think the Cards go defense. I think Peterson would be the pick over Green. But there's always room to speculate.

The Top FivePosted by on March 30, 2011 – 1:54 pm
No, we're not talking former Cardinals cornerback Robert "Top Five" Tate, who used to put together top five lists all the time — including football lists, which inevitably included himself. Instead, we're talking about the guys who will be considered for the top five picks in the draft. It sure seems like this is the list:
- QB Cam Newton
- QB Blaine Gabbert
- DT Marcell Dareus
- WR A.J. Green
- DE Da'Quan Bowers
- LB Von Miller
- CB Patrick Peterson
I don't include DT Nick Fairley anymore because it doesn't seem like anyone else is either. It leaves us with seven names, and the all-powerful quarterback situation. In Carolina, my man Darin Gantt believes there are only three legit possibilities for the No. 1 pick, and he has long believed it will end up being Cam Newton. For Denver, the pull has been strong for Dareus, since a) John Fox has always been a guy who likes to build up front; b) the Broncos were so porous and c) they have Elvis Dumervil coming back from injury so Miller might not be as necessary. Although Miller and Peterson have been mentioned (It has to be defense in Denver, right?).
Buffalo could use a QB, but Chan Gailey seems to want defense, so Miller has been a popular possibility for a team that uses the 3-4 and needs a pass rush. If the Cards want Miller, it seems the Bills will be the key. The Bengals figure to go offense, whether a QB or WR. The Cards, who have hinted many times they aren't necessarily looking QB early, still don't seem to make sense with a pick like that. Here's the question, assuming Miller is gone: Could you make Bowers work in your defense? Is Peterson good enough? Do you reach outside the above list of names? By the time we get to the draft, would my list above change?
I wonder what Top Five Tate's list would look like?

So I see the average 2013 EPS is $1.08 on $337mil of sales. Doing the math this translates into a 44% gross margin with $100mil of G&A expenses.
My first reaction was of disappointment when seeing this $1.08 EPS, but I have to admit that's possible. I can't see G&A being any lower than $100, but if margins were at 47%, that moves EPS to $1.30. And of course any extra sales help.
So i understand the skepticism by the market for Skul, but I'm not underestimating the brand and the real possibility that sales are greater than projected, starting with Q4.

The failed attempt to make a proper landing on the toilet seat otherwise known as the landing zone and the bowels are released short of the rim leaving excrement all over the stool and floor. The Louisiana Tail Drop is experienced during explosive diarrhea brought on by too many Cajun style shrimp, oysters and red beans and rice. The condition appears out of nowhere and is accompanied by gut wrenching and imminent sphinctergeddon. In all cases, the onset occurs when one is the furthest from the nearest rest room facility. Due to the intense pressure, simultaneous ass clenching and efforts to remove one's pants and grunders in time, the distance to the bowl is misjudged and the assplosion occurs short of the rim leaving ass gravy.
During a high profile case, attorney Dick Short of the firm Short, Course and Kirley suffered from an unexpected shart attack brought on by his lunch that day at the Rajun Cajun Restaurant. He made a prompt courtroom exit during a five minute recess to relieve his bowels; however he misjudged the distance to the bowl as he was coming in for release and ended up doing Louisiana Tail Drop. While relieved, the mess and the stench caused the court to evacuate and recess for the remainder of the day.
