What do Apple's (NASDAQ:AAPL) iPad tablet, Microsoft's (NASDAQ:MSFT) Kinect device, and Nintendo's (OTCPK:NTDOY) 3DS console have in common? They each represent heavy new bets on a hardware strategy that gives consumers novel ways to interact with technology. Both the iPad and Kinect devices have been huge hits so far and Nintendo is hoping for similar success with the hand held console it introduced to the U.S. market over the weekend.
Ditch the Stylus
With the iPad, Apple re-launched the tablet industry a year ago. The big idea here was that consumers would find room in their lives for a "third" device; one that was bigger than a cell phone, smaller than a laptop, and controlled by, not a stylus or mouse, but a finger.
It turns out consumers had plenty of room in their lives for it, as Apple sold over 15 million of the devices in 2010, contributing almost $10 billion in revenue in just nine months of sales. "We've never had a product that got off to that fast of a start," Apple CEO Steve Jobs said during the launch of the iPad 2 in early March. And all initial indications are that the next generation iPad has seen an even faster kick-off.
Drop the Controller
For the Kinect add-on to the Xbox video game console, Microsoft caught a bit of lightning itself. The idea here was that people would enjoy interacting with console video games using gestures instead of controllers. People in fact do enjoy the new concept. Microsoft sold 8 million units in just 60 days, what CEO Bill Koefoed described as an "incredible consumer response." Peter Klein, CFO, said he thought those numbers made the device "the fastest-selling consumer electronics device in history." According to the Guinness Book of World Records, he was right.
But records like that may not last long, particularly when consumers are snapping up "immersive" electronics devices at such a torrid pace.
Forget the 3D Glasses
With the launch of the 3DS handheld console, Nintendo is betting that mobile gamers will value 3D entertainment that doesn't require special glasses. Nintendo hopes it is "better late than never" to the technology device boom as it had to slash earnings forecasts last fall when a delay meant that shipments of the 3DS would miss the crucial holiday quarter.
But the company is still expecting a substantial launch. Initial reaction at February's roll out in Japan was decidedly positive, giving Nintendo some reason for optimism despite the delayed timing and somewhat weak library of launch titles. Reggie Fils-Aime, Nintendo President, said the Japanese introduction was the company's "biggest mobile launch [and] what's really impressive is that it was done during a non-holiday time frame."
What a Hit Could Mean for Nintendo, and the Industry
Apple's iPad has contributed to surging revenue and profit for the company but, because of its high cost of production, has put some downward pressure on margins. Microsoft has seen the exact same consequences for Kinect sales. These are problems that any company would love to have. I expect Nintendo's 3DS impact on margins and revenue to be similar. But Nintendo develops its own device software to a much greater degree than either Apple or Microsoft, so the higher software sales should more directly filter into Nintendo's bottom line.
If Nintendo can manage a successful U.S. roll-out for the 3DS device, it could deliver a much-needed boost for a gaming company struggling to convince consumers of the value of its games in a market increasingly flooded with free or near-free downloadable apps and social games. But it could also represent the third consumer electronics hit over just the last year, suggesting consumers are quite willing to pay up for immersive entertainment experiences.

"Please Hold For Mrs. Kunkle."
Sarah Dodd had a good piece last night on KTVT-Channel 11 about "runaway" overtime pay for Dallas County jailers. County Commisiosner John Wiley Price weighed in with some sober-minded concerns about huge cost overrruns at the jail -- a tad surprising, since he and Sheriff Lupe Valdez are both prominent local Democrats.
But here was the big surprise: At the tail end of her story, Dodd said, "And Sheriff Valdez just returned my calls about 10 minutes ago, and she says the overtime is valid and that her staff is looking at ways to reduce it. But she also says the biggest issue is going to be bringing down the population of the jail."
Pardon, but Sheriff Valdez did what??!! She returned Sarah Dodd's calls? The Ghost Sheriff? The sheriff who is rumored to move about the land only when the moon is full?
There are reporters in this city who will swear there is no Sheriff Valdez, that she blew town right after her election and now a select handful of sheriff's deputies have learned how to do her voice on the phone. Only they don't even have to do that, because everybody knows the sheriff never returns her calls anyway.

But she does return calls, apparently, to Sarah Dodd, who recently married Dallas Police Chief David Kunkle.
Got me thinkin'. I know it's probably against the law or something for me to leave phone messages saying my name is Dallas Police Chief David Kunkle. That would be impersonating a law enforcement officer. But what about impersonating a law enforecemnt oifficer's wife?
Could anybody nail me if next time I called the sheriff I spoke in falsetto and said my name was Mrs. David Kunkle? Hmm? Worth a try maybe? --Jim Schutze

Eat More Eagle: Arizona Cardinals Travel to Philly for Thanksgiving Day Showdown
Fallen Eagle: Despite Recent Benching, Donovan McNabb Gets the Start Thursday Against the Cardinals
Oh, City of Brotherly Hate, are things jacked up in your neck of the woods.
In case you haven't heard, do-everything Philadelphia Eagles' (5-5-1) signal-caller Donovan McNabb - a five-time Pro Bowl QB who once led Philly to four straight NFC championship games - got his behind benched Sunday during the second half of the Eagles 36-7 drubbing against the Baltimore Ravens. The Eagles were only down three at halftime, but McNabb has been playing so poopy most of the season (10 picks on the year) that coach Andy Reid decided enough was enough.
This could spell victory for the Arizona Cardinals (7-4), who were shot out of their perch by the defending Super Bowl champion New York Giants this past weekend. However, the Cards still have a stranglehold on first place in the NFC West.

Consensual and judicial separation After separation occurs between spouses do not make this completely end their relationship, but suspended pending the result of a reconciliation or a provision for divorce. The separation can be done in 2 ways or in a legal (consensual or judicial) or simply i.e. resulting from of one spouse by the will of one party, or agreement, but without the intervention of a judge .
Legal separation (consensual or judicial) is the agreement to get a divorce. Consensual separation is done only when one of the spouses is agreed on an agreement 'commitment that will support the personal and property relations and reciprocal relationships with each of their children. If the agreement between the spouses for a consensual separation is not achieved, the separation will inevitably court, that the conditions of separation are agreed by the Court. Nothing stops that an agreement will be reached in the course of proceedings of the cause of separation in which case a separation, started as a court, may qualify as consensual separation.
Consensual separation is definitely faster and usually preferred by the spouses as it reduces the time, cost, and sometimes clash, but this should not be at the expense of a good separation. Divorce: Changes and separations, the date of submission of the spouses before the Court, the separated spouses can apply for divorce. How is the procedure to get a divorce (Law of 12.01.1970 no. 898) is announced the annulment of marriage or termination of the civil effects. With divorce end in a definitive way the effects of marriage on a personal level (use the surname of her husband, the presumption of conception, etc. ...) and on the balance sheet, with nothing to change for the children who are full-fledged children legitimate.
The decision to divorce fruit loss of status of spouse and following the extinction of the rights and duties arising from this status by restricting the obligation to pay the spouse "weak" if a divorcing check of course there are the economic conditions. Only when you get a divorce you will be able to marry again civilians. If you decide not to proceed with a divorce, the inheritance rights of spouses remain unscathed, as only with the divorce that you lose the character of their remaining solely the responsibility of have a check against the legacy of the former spouse if there are the economic conditions.

Just spoke with my best friends mom today, it was great she still has the same sweet voice as she always did. It was great talking to her, We talked about the life and death of her son and my best friend David Brown. I was able to share my issues and strong holds from this dramatic incident that changed of the lives of many. David and I engaged in gang activity a very long time ago. Which ended up costing him his life and costing me the mental memory of the phone conversation several days after. I can't tell you kid enough to quit the violence. the road your heading down has one ending and I know the death part hurts more than being the one to grow old and have to remember it. I know the leaders have code and reasons why they do what they do as far as recruiting, but you have to make that choice is it going to be you. Once you live by the gun you die by it. They don't play that in rap songs. You have to be a witness. Young brothers and sisters I swear I wouldn't tell you anything wrong. The first time I ever went to church, I told the pastor I was about to kill somebody and I didn't know what to do. it was something I felt I had to do but I really didn't want to. That Pastor looked at me and said "why" I said"someone just killed my brother and I have to get revenge." He said " young man you don't have to do nothing, vengeance aint yours." Then he ended our conversation with that. Then kept on walking. I was angered cuz at the time he didn't tell me nothing. I didn't understand it. The night came for me to go handle this business we had just got all the so called information and the where abouts. Once we arrived we picked one of the guys up acting like we were trying to buy weed, dude got in the car. Then I just couldn't do it, I felt David saying "man look at you,you look like a fool. You do that your life is over as well as mine" Dude started telling us about his girlfriend and her being pregnant. I just didn't have it in me, my boys dissed me for not doing it, but oh well it is what it is. Now I'm glad I didn't do it, I never shared this with anyone, in fear of people judging me. But hey forget you if you wanna judge me, I lived my life how I was raised. I am glad I am not like that anymore. When you see me you see one thing I look in the mirror I see a different person. His mom asked me about my music , she said I have a great talent and I was good she was hoping something happened with it. I woke up, the music I've been producing is't me and I'm sorry you guys for giving you half as talent. I am who I am and nobody can change it. I'm a better me and I no longer hold myself at fault for the murder of my best friend because his mother said it's not my fault. but it will be my fault if the world doesn't hear this story, and if you never know who David Wayne Brown ll is. he impacted my life in a major way and he will forever be in my heart. Stop the Violence Please!!
I hate that you scheme to destroy my every move, well enough is enough. It's time I start fighting back, see you don't know me I'll grab a hanger and hang you upside down then beat you like a pinata with my hands until I can't hit no more. You don't know who you attacking, I was trained to trample on weak fragile things like you. Satan I rebuke you and every idea before you think it. in Jesus Holy name!
What you are about to read is based on a true story the character named "I" IS NOT reffering to me: I started out with nothing, not knowing I could've asked for help. So I did it on my own, things worked out I guess. I always had a little money, and I got to meet interesting people along the way. I made good friends, until I turned my back. Then for some reason they always stabbed me in the back. I guess thats how they showed feelings for me. It's cool even tho I almost lost it all, speaking of losing it all I did but when I did lose it all everyone left. I thought it was messed up but I guess they left to give me space so I could get myself back together. Because soon as I climb back on top, they all came back. They allowed my life to be personal so they never asked about my family. I wouldn't mind if they did, I actually would have enjoyed answering them but I understand. They my really good friends, so why bother knowing If I even have a family. We always partied so we never argued. Every time I bought weed, they brought rolling papers to save me money. Since I did spend my money on the weed. "even tho I really wanted to smoke it by myself." the greatest thing of all was when they bought weed I never saw them so you can say they didn't want to encourage me to do drugs. But soon as it was gone, they came back threw to kick it and smoke my weed. One day we were sitting on the couch, talking about stuff you only discuss when your high. I said "I don't wanna smoke this stuff anymore I want to become somebody." They said "who would I become?"( with a slight laugh of there breath.) I said, "I don't know maybe a then I forgot what we were talking about so we rolled up another blunt and laughed so hard about what I said that I never accomplished anything. ~~~~~~To be Continued~~~~ by Dante a.k.a DT

21st Century Schizoid Man

|King Crimson singles chronology
"21st Century Schizoid Man" is a song by the progressive rock band King Crimson from their debut album In the Court of the Crimson King.
Lyrical content[edit]
The lyrics of "21st Century Schizoid Man" were written by Peter Sinfield and consist chiefly of disconnected phrases which present a series of images. All three verses follow a set pattern in presenting these images. The first line of each verse presents two relatively vague images (e.g. "iron claw", "death seed"). The second line is a single image, often more specific than the first two, and the third line approaches an actual sentence. The fourth and last line of each verse is the song's title.
The song makes reference to the Vietnam War with the lyrics "Politicians' funeral pyre/Innocence raped with napalm fire". Before a live performance of the song on 14 December 1969, heard on the live album Epitaph, Robert Fripp remarked that the song was dedicated to "an American political personality whom we all know and love dearly. His name is Spiro Agnew."
Musical structure[edit]
Clocking at nearly seven and a half minutes, the song is notable for its heavily distorted vocals sung by Greg Lake, and its instrumental middle section, called "Mirrors". Most of the song is in either 4/4 or 6/8 time, save for the end of the song, which is in free time. Fripp explained his guitar solo to Guitar Player magazine in 1974: "It's all picked down-up. The basis of the picking technique is to strike down on the on-beat and up on the off-beat. Then one must learn to reverse that. I'll generally use a downstroke on the down-beat except where I wish to accent a phrase in a particular way or create a certain kind of tension by confusing accents, in which case I might begin a run on the upstroke."[1] The atonal solo was rated number 82 in Guitar World's list of the Top 100 Greatest Guitar Solos in 2008.[2] British Prime Minister Tony Blair praised the song and especially the guitar solo.[1] The song encompasses the heavy metal,[3][4] jazz-rock and progressive rock genres.[5]
King Crimson continued to perform it in their live act after Greg Lake left King Crimson in 1970 to form Emerson, Lake & Palmer. It appeared on five live albums from different versions of the band, first sung by Lake on Epitaph, then by Boz Burrell on Earthbound (1972), by John Wetton, on USA (1974), by Adrian Belew on Vrooom Vrooom (2001, recorded in 1996), and by Jakko Jakszyk on 2014 Live EP. In 1993, Emerson, Lake & Palmer recorded a version for their 1993 box set The Return of the Manticore (this version is abridged, finishing before the long instrumental passage featured in the original). Greg Lake performed the song on his 1981 solo tour with Gary Moore on guitar.

The Beauty of the Spring
Spring season is here, and as the days get longer the weather gets warmer the nature comes back to life. Today I wanted to selected some beautiful photos that reflect the nature in the Spring. Enjoy! Spring and "springtime" refer to the season, and also to ideas of rebirth, rejuvenation, renewal, resurrection and regrowth. Subtropical and tropical areas have climates better described in terms of other seasons, e.g. dry or wet, monsoonal or cyclonic.

UNION, S.C. - A Union couple is charged with second degree assault and battery in an incident in which a woman was held down while a dog attacked her.
The Herald-Journal of Spartanburg reports that 58-year-old Donnie Bisco Todd and 51-year-old Tammy Louise Todd were charged in Monday's incident.
A sheriff's report says the victim was visiting her father who lives in the same house as the couple. The victim said when she entered the house she was assaulted and at one point held down while a dog attacked her.
Deputies said the victim suffered cuts on her neck, legs and lips. The couple was taken to the Union County jail. It was not immediately known if they had attorneys.

Psychologist, Author, Speaker & Four-Time Grammy® Nominated Artist
You are one of a kind – a never to be repeated, unique expression of the infinite creativity of the universe!
As a result of childhood trauma, I have lived with a sense of death over my shoulder as if I could be whisked from the earth in the blink of an eye.

This perspective is the unifying thread of my life's work which is awakening compassionate awareness in our lives in the here and now. This profoundly heart-centered approach finds expression in my work as an integrative psychologist, author, speaker and musician.

Sandisk V-Mate
- Record video sources to flash memory, Easy to use
- Low resolution image quality could have been better, no function buttons on the device
Bottom Line
While it is a bit of a niche product, the SanDisk V-Mate is good at what it does
Price$ 129.95 (AUD)
The SanDisk V-Mate is an interesting little device that records video from any composite source directly to a memory card. By hooking up the V-Mate to your VCR or DVD player, you can record movies and television in a number different of formats. These can then be played back either by using the V-Mate or by inserting the card into a compatible portable device.
We tested the device by making videos in each of the supported video formats and checking the image quality, audio integrity and frame rate. Overall, we found that it worked reasonably well but the interface was sluggish at times and the picture could have been better.
The image quality will solely depend on what format you output to. At full resolution, it is of a high quality, but if you need to compress it down to iPod video or one of the many mobile phone video formats, you will lose a lot of quality, frame rate or both. Across all formats, the sound quality was always clear without any problems to report. We did find one thing interesting though. While playback on a DVD player or iPod looked great, we couldn't get it to record from the Xbox360 at standard definition. However, this is understandable since there are a wide range of copy protection protocols in place to prevent Xbox content being copied.
The V-Mate supports recording in MP4, 3GP and 3G2 formats which use both MPEG-4 simple profile and h.263 codecs to a maximum resolution of 640 x 480 at 30fps. However, you don't need to know any of this in order to record to the right device. The on-screen menu does not ask what format you wish to record in but rather which device you are going to use it on. In addition to iPod and PC playback, a wide range of mobile phones are also supported from all the major brands.
If you want to record television, the V-Mate can also work in sync with your VCR via the handy IR transmitter. When a recording is about to start, the transmitter can send a signal to your VCR so it changes to the channel you wish to record in. This makes it useful for people who want to record the late night soccer highlights to watch on the train on the way to work the next day, for example. At full 640 x 480 resolution, the V-Mate can record 3.5 hours of footage for every Gigabyte of memory card space. However, since it ships with a 128MB SD card you may need to look at upgrading. It supports all SD card formats, all MMC formats and the Sony Memory Stick/PRO/Due/PRO Duo.
Setting up the V-Mate is extremely simple; all you need do is connect it to your devices and to a television. The rest of the operations are handled via the on-screen menu using the remote control. Unfortunately, there are no buttons on the device at all, so if you loose the remote, the device becomes inoperable. The on-screen menu is fairly straight forward and gives you options to change the recording format, schedule recordings and play back video from a memory card.
While it is a bit of a niche product, the SanDisk V-Mate is good at what it does. We would have liked the low res video quality to have been a little better and for the on-screen controls to be a little more responsive but apart from that, the device worked well.

Kathy Cassidy
First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
Anthony Grifoni
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
Steph Mundell
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
Andrew Mitsi
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
Simon Harriott
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Casey Anthony investigators overlooked Google search
ORLANDO, Fla. The Florida sheriff's office that investigated the disappearance of Casey Anthony's 2-year-old daughter overlooked evidence that someone in their home did a Google search for "fool-proof" suffocation methods on the day the girl was last seen alive.
Orange County sheriff's Capt. Angelo Nieves said Sunday that the office's computer investigator missed the June 16, 2008, search. The agency's admission was first reported by Orlando television station WKMG. It's not known who performed the search. The station reported it was done on a browser primarily used by the 2-year-old's mother, Casey Anthony, who was acquitted of the girl's murder in 2011.
WKMG reports that sheriff's investigators pulled 17 vague entries only from the computer's Internet Explorer browser, not the Mozilla Firefox browser commonly used by Casey Anthony.
More than 1,200 Firefox entries, including the suffocation search, were overlooked.
Not knowing about the computer search, prosecutors had argued Caylee was poisoned with chloroform and then suffocated by duct tape placed over her mouth and nose. The girl's body was found six months after she disappeared in a field near the family home and was too decomposed for an exact cause of death to be determined.

Car: Recommended
Finding enough time to pack in all the adventures offered around Invermere is a challenge in itself.
Take in a round of golf, or shopping, followed by a relaxing dip in the hot springs. Or saddle up for a horseback ride, hike in the parks, tackle the whitewater on a rafting trip and fish in the Windermere Valley's well-stocked lakes.
Come winter, skiers, heli skiers, snowmobilers and snowshoers take to the slopes.
Land Activities
Play golf at any one of a long list of 18-hole and 9-hole courses in the Windermere Valley, and forget about keeping your head down – there is great scenery to see.
From fine art at the Artym or Effusion galleries to scrumptious treats at Gerry's Gelati, the economic hub of the Windermere Valley has some great shopping. Be sure to include a side trip to Bavin Glassworks, just off Highway 93/95, where you can watch a glassblower at work, and make a few little glass trinkets yourself.
Visit the farmers market downtown on Saturday mornings, from June through September.
Go horseback riding with one of the operators at Panorama Mountain Village Resort, Fairmont Hot Springs or in the Radium Hot Springs area. Other experienced outfitters offer multi-day expeditions into the Purcell Mountain Range.
Water Activities
Take to the water with an exciting river rafting trip on the Kootenay River, Columbia River or Toby Creek. For a less adrenaline-pumping, but completely fascinating experience, take a tour of the Columbia River Wetlands with a naturalist as your guide. The wildlife is diverse and abundant.
Rent a kayak or canoe and spend a few hours paddling on Windermere Lake, or exploring the river between Invermere and Radium Hot Springs. Powerboats are also rentable on the lake from Pete's Marina.
A number of lakes in the area are regularly stocked with fry from a nearby hatchery. Try your hand at fishing on Whiteswan, Alces, Whitetail or Windermere Lakes.
Any time of year is a great time to visit one of the hot springs in and around the valley.
Summer Activities
The extremely warm Windermere Lake or somewhat cooler Columbia Lake boast some of the best beaches and swimming in the Kootenay Rockies, but it doesn't stop there. There's also windsurfing, powerboating, kayaking and canoeing.
Take a flight-seeing tour over the Rockies and the Purcells with Babin Air, based at Invermere's small airport, or take to the air with Canadian Mountain Holidays or RK Heliski for a spectacular heli hiking experience.
Explore the mountains around Panorama on an ATV tour with Toby Creek Adventures Ltd, which offers a range of programs from 90 minute quickies to overnight camping trips.
Head out of town to explore the mountain parks. Go hiking or sightseeing in Kootenay National Park, and the equally spectacular Provincial Parks that surround the valley. Great local hikes include Jumbo Pass, Mount Swansea and Earl Grey Pass.
Winter Activities
In winter, go skiing or snowboarding at Panorama Mountain Resort or Fairmont Hot Springs. Panorama also offers heli skiing, snowmobiling, snowshoeing and real Canadian dogsledding.
Go cross-country skiing at Panorama, Fairmont or at the Nipika Mountain Resort, located in the Rocky Mountains, 30 minutes east of Radium Hot Springs.

About the owner: Greg & I live in small town Okotoks just outside of Calgary, Alberta. We fell in love with Invermere back in 1989 after not having been this way since childhood!

The 49ers know what the market is like for starting quarterbacks. And time and time again Jim Harbaugh has defined Colin Kaepernick's value to the team. That's why they want to get an extension done with the 26-year-old signal caller sooner rather than later.
"We're going to work extremely hard, very diligently in trying to get something done prior to training camp," general manager Trent Baalke said to reporters at the annual NFL owners' meetings in Orlando, Florida this week.
"That's the objective right now, as it stands…We've addressed the generalities, so to speak, and now it's time to enter the next phase."
Kaepernick is entering the final season of his rookie four-year deal and could officially begin negotiations for a new contract once the 2013 season ended. As a second round pick in 2011, his original deal paid him $5.124 million with a signing bonus over $2.2 million. He's slated to count for just $1.63 million against the salary cap in 2014.
Few quarterbacks have done as much as Kaepernick in his first three seasons in the league. He's been the team's starter for just a year and a half and already has an extensive playoff resume, including a 3-1 record in road playoff games. Negotiations on the extension with Kaepernick's camp reportedly began at the NFL Combine in Indianapolis late-February.
"You know he's just going to get better and better. So that's where we are…and he's a very young, gifted player, talented, smart, really got it all," Harbaugh told reporters this week.
But while the market would dictate Kaepernick becoming an $18-million-per-year player, many would point to his failures in both last year's Super Bowl loss to the Ravens and this season's fourth quarter in the NFC Championship Game as cause to not make him one of the league's highest paid quarterbacks.
Team CEO Jed York disagrees with that idea.
"I think there's a lot that he's done that put him in that position where he should be paid like one of the top quarterbacks in the league, whether we get it done now or later," said York, according to Tim Kawakami of the Bay Area News Group.
"We hope we get it done seen. If we don't, I don't think it's going to be acrimonious."
Since Baalke took over personnel decisions in 2010, the 49ers have maneuvered under the salary cap without having a franchise-quarterback-type contract to deal with. But even with Alex Smith at the helm, Baalke and the personnel department knew that they would have to give one out eventually.
That's why the 49ers have maintained a frugal approach when it comes to free agency in recent seasons. Instead of taking expensive players at obvious positions of need, they've waited for cheaper alternatives they could coach up. After making three consecutive trips to the conference title game, it's tough argue with that approach.
San Francisco's highest paid players are still relative bargains, in part due to the timing of their signings. NaVorro Bowman signed his five-year, $45.25 million deal before the end of his third season, midway through his second as a starter. If signed later, that number would have likely gone up. The same could be said for Joe Staley, who inked his six-year extension after his second pro season. Staley has evolved into one of the league's premier left tackles, but still makes less per year than 12 other players at the position.
Kaepernick won't be the same kind of bargain as those two players, but they could be putting themselves in danger of having to pay more later if they don't get a deal done. They could look at the team that beat them in the Super Bowl two years ago as a template to avoid.
The Ravens gave Joe Flacco a massive six-year, $120.6 million deal after beating the 49ers in the Super Bowl in the fifth and final year of his rookie contract. Had Baltimore elected to give him an extension prior to the start of the season, his price wouldn't have been nearly as steep.
If San Francisco and Kaepernick's representatives can't get a deal done before the start of training camp as they hope, they can use the franchise tag next season until they're able to hammer something out. The issue with the franchise tag would be the inability to backload a deal meaning his salary cap number would be sky high.
"So the sooner we can sign him to a contract that's long-term, extended, the better for our organization," Harbaugh said. And to put that into a win-win, where it's a win for Colin, a win for us, the sooner the better, absolutely," Harbaugh said.
After winning the Super Bowl in 2012, the Ravens missed the playoffs last year after trading wideout Anquan Boldin to the 49ers for a sixth-round draft pick. The team had wanted Boldin to take a pay cut following Flacco's extension, but he declined and moved on to San Francisco, had one of his best seasons in years and was voted as the team's MVP by the coaching staff.
But San Francisco still wouldn't have those type of salary cap problems. According to Overthecap.com, the 49ers will have upwards of $33 million in cap space for 2015 assuming the salary cap hits its projection of 143 million. In a long-term deal, Kaepernick's cap number would likely be a fraction of the average amount per season.
Flacco's deal, for example, averages out to over $20 million per season. But in the first year of his extension, his cap number was $6.8 million. But in the final three years of his deal through 2018, his cap number jumps to $28.55, $31.15 and 24.75 million respectively. The 49ers will want to do something similar with Kaepernick by back-loading his deal and allowing them to renegotiate his massive cap number through various channels down the road.
Of course the 49ers have other raises to consider, including some to Michael Crabtree, Aldon Smith and Mike Iupati, all of whom are entering the final years of their rookie deals. But the sooner the team can get the deal done, the sooner they can begin their salary cap planning for years to come.

Nowadays, almost everybody has a blog. Blog can have a
variety of uses, you can write your dairies in personal blog, and manage your
business on corporate blog. Blogging is growing rapidly. However, in the
article Blogging Is Dead Just like the Web is Dead (p57), a New York Times story says
blogging is declined and young people are using other social networks like
Facebook instead.
It seems that today, there is a new blog popping up every 5 seconds. And that the author of that blog believes theirs is the next big hit, and that their topics are semi-precious and more valuable than the rest. With so many blogs available on the internet, there are a few key reasons why some stand above the rest. According to CopyBloggers.com's article on the 7 Deadly Sins of Blogging, there are many reasons to why the numerous blogs out there fail agains the test of time, and others shine.
I didn't realize how much work was actually in a blog until I sat down and started messing with mine the other day. It probably doesn't help that I have a mild form of self-diagnosed OCD. The amount of times I changed my header image and the background image is absurd. I can't even begin to describe how long it took me to come up with a title for it as well.
(Credit: http://www.whatsnextblog.com/2013/04/technorati-2013-digital-influence-report-is-blogging-dead-hell-no/)
Blogging is going to be tough. I do
not use social media to express my opinions. I don't tweet, and I don't post
Facebook statuses. Reading through the assigned readings made me realize that
promoting myself through blogging can be a good asset for my future career.
Never using social media obviously means I have no idea how
to use a blog, so the readings were very helpful. Some of my favorite help was
from page 44, "Becoming a better blogger" in the book Google this.
I recall the early years of information sharing on the
Internet. Many teachers did not accept
online resources as reliable sources of information for school work since
little was known about who was sharing the information. The only validated sources of information
were found at web addresses ending in .org, .edu and .gov. So when blogs gained popularity, I was
skeptical of its legitimacy. Even as
David Merriman Scott states in his most recent edition of "The New
I've never had a blog before, so everything I've read in the Google This book is all-new to me. I love all of the different ways of customization that can be done with blogs to make it totally you. I'm excited to put all of my newly learned skills together and entertain and inspire people with my posts. Who knows, I may have found a new hobby.

Excellent 4.2 /5 from 101 reviews
friendly & helful staff. hotel room is in fact a bedroom + living room and small kitchen. comfortable and clean. neighbourhood is quiet, walk around 5 minutes to shopping center area & public transport. hotel is about 30 minutes by taxi from airport. good place to stay
Will stay again at these hotel. Front desk attitude is excellent.
Location far from town. But situation in a good location in Industrial Park
Excellent front desk with good english. Room size is great and location is excellent. Room should have been cleaner
Nice enough hotel, just across the street from a train station, just one or two stops from Times Square and the lake, but far away enough from all the tourists so is quiet. We had to call the reception because when we arrived the pillows had hairs on them. Room big enough, nice view and nice bathroom. Didn't try the breakfast. Overall pretty good.
