If Alex Smith reported his concussion when it occurred during the second quarter of the 49ers' game Sunday against the Dallas Cowboys, he would've been required to leave the game.And rookie Colin Kaepernick would've made his NFL debut.Sooner or later, its bound to happen. Only 12 quarterbacks in the NFL started every game last season. And only Joe Flacco, Matt Schaub, Peyton Manning, Eli Manning and Sam Bradford attempted every quarterback pass from their respective teams a year ago.
The percentages say at some point the 49ers will need Kaepernick to perform. That point was driven home when Smith sustained a concussion and finally reported it to the teams medical staff after the game. Kaepernick remains one snap away from being called upon.And he said hes ready for that chance."The more you practice it, the better you feel with it," Kaepernick said. "I'm very confident in everything we're doing."Kaepernick, whom the 49ers traded up to select with the No. 36 overall pick, has remained on the sideline through the first two games while Smith took every snap. After his record-setting career at Nevada, Kaepernick has found it difficult to adjust to his role as a spectator."It's definitely tough to sit there and watch your team play and not being able to contribute in any way," he said. "Right now, I'm still trying to work hard and make sure I'm ready if my time does come. "Smith beat out Kaepernick for the starting job this summer. Kaepernick completed 24 of 50 passes (48 percent) with no touchdowns and five interceptions in the exhibition season. His passer rating was 23.9.Offensive coordinator Greg Roman said he is confident Kaepernick would play well if he's given a chance in a regular-season game."I think Colin is ready to go," Roman said. "He is on top of his assignments and just like any rookie quarterback, there's going to be a curve there. It's just a fact. He's getting tons of work in practice and really improving all the time. Very much on top of the game plan."Kaepernick is not getting as much practice time with the 49ers' offense as he did in training camp. But he is also taking the bulk of his snaps with the scout team, running the opposition's plays against the 49ers' first-team defense.Meanwhile, the third quarterback is Scott Tolzien, a rookie from Wisconsin the 49ers claimed off waivers from the San Diego Chargers after final cuts.Tolzien completed 25 of 40 attempts (62.5 percent) with one touchdown and one interception in the exhibition season for an 83.5 passer rating. Tolzien has been inactive for the 49ers' first two games. His only practice snaps have been with the scout team. He is still cramming to learn the basics of the offense, he said.And hes spending plenty of time on the job. Tolzien has put off his apartment hunting until after the team returns from their Cincinnati-Youngstown-Philadelphia trip. He is literally living at the 49ers practice facility, as he spends his nights in the players lounge.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
Cynophobia (/ˌsaɪnəˈfoʊbiə/;[1] from the Greek: κύων kýōn "dog" and φόβος phóbos "fear") is the abnormal fear of dogs. Cynophobia is classified as a specific phobia, under the subtype "animal phobias".[2] According to Dr. Timothy O. Rentz of the Laboratory for the Study of Anxiety Disorders at the University of Texas, animal phobias are among the most common of the specific phobias and 36% of patients who seek treatment report being afraid of dogs or cats.[3] Although snakes and spiders are more common animal phobias, cynophobia is especially debilitating because of the high prevalence of dogs (in the United States estimated at over 62 million in 2003)[4] and the general ignorance of dog owners to the phobia. The Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-IV-TR) reports that only 12% to 30% of those suffering from a specific phobia will seek treatment.[5]
The DSM-IV-TR provides the following criteria for the diagnosis of a specific phobia:[6]
The book Phobias defines a panic attack as "a sudden terror lasting at least a few minutes with typical manifestations of intense fear".[7] These manifestations may include palpitations, sweating, trembling, difficulty breathing, the urge to escape, faintness or dizziness, dry mouth, nausea and/or several other symptoms.[8] As with other specific phobias, patients suffering from cynophobia may display a wide range of these reactions when confronted with a live dog or even when thinking about or presented with an image (static or filmed) of a dog.[9] Furthermore, classic avoidance behavior is also common and may include staying away from areas where dogs might be (i.e., a park), crossing the street to avoid a dog, or avoiding the homes of friends and/or family who own a dog.[10]
Drs. Jeanette M. Bruce and William C. Sanderson, in their book Specific Phobias, concluded that the age of onset for animal phobias is usually early childhood, between the ages of five and nine.[11] A study done in South Africa by Drs. Willem A. Hoffmann and Lourens H. Human further confirms this conclusion for patients suffering from cynophobia and additionally found dog phobia developing as late as age 20.[12]
Dr. Bruce and Sanderson also state that animal phobias are more common in females than males.[13] Furthermore, Dr. B.K. Wiederhold, a psychiatrist investigating virtual reality therapy as a possible method of therapy for anxiety disorders, goes on to provide data that although prevalent in both men and women, 75% to 90% of patients reporting specific phobias of the animal subtype are women.[14]
A current theory for fear acquisition presented by Dr. S. Rachman in 1977 maintains that there are three conditions by which fear is developed.[15] These include direct personal experience, observational experience, and informational or instructional experience. For example, direct personal experience consists of having a personal negative encounter with a dog such as being bitten. In contrast, seeing a friend attacked by a dog and thus developing a fear of dogs would be observational experience. Whereas both of these types of experiences involves a live dog, informational or instructional experience simply includes being told directly or indirectly (i.e., information read in a book, film, parental cues such as avoidance or dislike, etc.) that dogs are to be feared.
A study was conducted at the State University of New York by Dr. Peter A. DiNardo, et al., to distinguish the significance of these three conditions upon the development of cynophobia.[16] Thirty-seven women ages 18 to 21 were first screened into two groups: fearful of dogs and non-fearful of dogs.[17] Next, each woman was given a questionnaire which asked if she had ever had a frightening and/or painful confrontation with a dog, what her expectation was upon encountering a dog (pain, fear, etc.), and subjectively, what was the probability of that expectation actually occurring.[18] The results indicated that, while non-fearful subjects had a different expectation of what would happen when encountering a dog, painful experiences with dogs were common among both groups; therefore, the study concluded that other factors must effect whether or not these painful experiences will develop into dog phobia.[19]
Although Rachman's theory is the accepted model of fear acquisition, cases of cynophobia have been cited in which none of these three causes apply to the patient.[20] In a speech given at the 25th Annual Meeting of the Society for Psychophysiological Research, Dr. Arne Öhman proposed that animal fears in particular are likely to be an evolutionary remnant of the necessity "to escape and to avoid becoming the prey of predators".[21] Furthermore, in his book Overcoming Animal/Insect Phobias, Dr. Martin Antony suggests that in the absence of Rachman's three causes, providing that the patient's memory is sound, biological factors may be a fourth cause of fear acquisition—meaning that the fear is inherited or is a throwback to an earlier genetic defense mechanism.[22] In any case, these causes may in actuality be a generalization of a complicated blend of both learning and genetics.[23]
The most common methods for the treatment of specific phobias are systematic desensitization and in vivo or exposure therapy.
Systematic desensitization therapy was introduced by Joseph Wolpe in 1958 and employs relaxation techniques with imagined situations.[24] In a controlled environment, usually the therapist's office, the patient will be instructed to visualize a threatening situation (i.e., being in the same room with a dog). After determining the patient's anxiety level, the therapist then coaches the patient in breathing exercises and relaxation techniques to reduce their anxiety to a normal level. The therapy continues until the imagined situation no longer provokes an anxious response.
This method was use in the above mentioned study done by Drs. Hoffmann and Human whereby twelve female students at the Arcadia campus of Technikon Pretoria College in South Africa were found to possess symptoms of cynophobia.[25] These twelve students were provided with systematic desensitization therapy one hour per week for five to seven weeks; after eight months, the students were contacted again to evaluate the effectiveness of the therapy.[26] Final results indicated the study was fairly successful with 75% of the participants showing significant improvement eight months after the study.[27]
However, in his book, Virtual Reality Therapy for Anxiety Disorders, Dr. Wiederhold questions the effectiveness of systematic desensitization as the intensity of the perceived threat is reliant on the patient's imagination and could therefore produce a false response in regards to the patient's level of anxiety.[28] His research into recent technological developments has made it possible to integrate virtual reality into systematic desensitization therapy in order to accurately recreate the threatening situation.[29] At the time of publication, there had been no studies done to determine its effectiveness.[30]
In vivo or exposure therapy is considered the most effective treatment for cynophobia and involves systematic and prolonged exposure to a dog until the patient is able to experience the situation without an adverse response.[31] This therapy can be conducted over several sessions or, as Dr. Lars-Göran Öst showed in a study done in 1988, can be done in a single multi-hour session.[32] This study utilized 20 female patients suffering from various specific phobias and ranging in age from 16 to 44.[33] Patients were each provided with an individual therapy session in which Dr. Öst combined exposure therapy with modeling (where another person demonstrates how to interact with the feared object) to reduce or completely cure the phobia.[34] As each patient was gradually exposed to the feared stimulus, she was encouraged to approach and finally interact with it as her anxiety decreased, concluding the session when fear had been reduced by 50% or completely eliminated.[35] Once the session was concluded, the patient was then to continue interaction with the feared object on her own to reinforce what had been learned in the therapy session.[36] Dr. Öst's results were collected over a seven-year period and concluded that "90% of the patients were much improved or completely recovered after a mean of 2.1 hours of therapy".[37]
Although most commonly done with the help of a therapist in a professional setting, exposure therapy is also possible as a self-help treatment. First, the patient is advised to enlist the help of an assistant who can help set-up the exposure environment, assist in handling the dog during sessions, and demonstrate modeling behaviors.[38] This should also be someone whom the patient trusts and who has no fear of dogs.[39] Then, the patient compiles a hierarchy of fear provoking situations based on their rating of each situation.[40] For example, on a scale from 0 to 100, a patient may feel that looking at photos of dogs may cause a fear response of only 50, however, petting a dog's head may cause of fear response of 100.[41] This list of situations looking at dog photos) to most fearful (petting a dog's head) and the assistant helps the patient to identify common elements that contribute to the fear (i.e., size of the dog, color, how it moves, noise, whether or not it is restrained, etc.).[42] Next, the assistant helps the patient recreate the least fearful situation in a safe, controlled environment, continuing until the patient has had an opportunity to allow the fear to subside thus reinforcing the realization that the fear is unfounded.[43] Once a situation has been mastered, the next fearful situation is recreated and the process is repeated until all the situations in the hierarchy have been experienced.[44]
Whether utilizing systematic desensitization therapy or exposure therapy, several factors will determine how many sessions will be required to completely remove the phobia; however, some studies (such as a follow-up study done by Dr. Öst in 1996) have shown that those who overcome their phobia are usually able to maintain the improvement over the long-term.[45] As avoidance contributes to the perpetuation of the phobia, constant, yet safe, real world interaction is recommended during and after therapy in order to reinforce positive exposure to the animal.[46]

Respond to Review of CLOSED: India Cuisine
by VeganJon
Review: I ate at India Cuisine for the first time on 12/15/12 and was very pleased. Got there later in the evening and found that they still had a buffet out which still appeared fresh. There were 6 vegan, 1 vegetarian and 2 meat hot options as well as rice, dosa, a chutney bar and a vegetarian dessert offering (I was a little disappointed to see the lamb and chicken dishes as I thought this was a vegetarian restaurant). The vegan foods were great although 4 of the 6 dishes were really spicy, more so than the other area Indian restaurants. I like hot food so it didn't bother me but I would recommend discussing that with your waiter when you order if you are not partial to spicy food. I did not order off the menu but I looked at it and noticed that the offering is a little more varied than the other area Indian restaurants. I am looking forward to eating here again. Recommendation: get the fried spinach. Yum!

Wausau Board Of Directors Responds To Starboard Letters
Wausau Paper (NYSE:WPP) announced today that it was in receipt of the letter sent yesterday by Starboard Value LP ("Starboard"), as well as a letter sent on January 11, 2013, which indicated Starboard's intent to nominate three candidates to the Company's Board of Directors.
The Company announced that its Board of Directors has sent a response to Starboard's letters, the text of which follows:
January 15, 2013
Mr. Jeffrey C. SmithManaging MemberStarboard Value LP830 Third Avenue, 3 rd FloorNew York, NY 10022
Dear Mr. Smith: We were disturbed by your letter and public statements regarding the recent discussions with you about the strategy and governance of Wausau Paper. Your public description of the sequence of private events is inaccurate in many respects. In particular, our announcement on Friday regarding the exploration of alternatives for the Paper Segment and focus on Tissue Business was a unanimous Board decision that resulted from months of discussion and careful consideration by the Board of Directors with the assistance of independent financial advisors. Contrary to your accusation, this important strategic decision was not made in reaction to your letter of Friday morning. The Wausau Paper Board of Directors is comprised of highly professional, experienced and ethical individuals who are committed to serving the best interests of all Wausau Paper shareholders. We, including the two members nominated last year by Starboard, have been pursuing a wide range of actions to better position Wausau Paper for the future and to deliver the highest long-term value to our shareholders. These actions cannot be completed overnight, and, in fact, this Board began evaluating operational strategies to better position Wausau for the future long before Starboard became a shareholder of Wausau Paper. The steps taken, as set forth below, have positioned us to issue the most recent announcement regarding our intent to focus on our Tissue business:- Added four new Board members since 2007
- Closed certain mills in the Northeast in 2009
- Closed Appleton converting facility in 2009
- Announced Tissue Expansion Plan in 2011
- Sold Timberland assets in 2011
- Appointed new Chairman in 2012
- Appointed new CEO and CFO during 2012
- Retained financial advisor in early 2012 to assist with the exploration of strategic alternatives for the Paper segment
- Sold premium Print and Color brands to Neenah Paper in 2012
- Closed Brokaw mill in 2012

Other than the many Corvairs in the Brain Melting Colorado Junkyard, we haven't seen any examples of GM's rear-engined compact so far in this series. As recently as ten years ago, Corvairs were not uncommon sights in self-serve wrecking yards, and trashed ones are worth little more than scrap value today, but it took until a couple of weeks ago and a trip to California for me to find one.

Tag: station wagon
There was a time when wagons roamed the interstates, ferrying families from one National Lampoon vacation to another. With the rise of the crossover, those looking for the original "looks practical but handles like a sedan" mode of transport have few options, and most of them live in the luxury segment. Let's count them before we go too far. We have the soon-to-be-cancelled Acura TSX, the last-generation Cadillac CTS , the Volkswagen Jetta, Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 3-Series and the Toyota Prius V. Even if you expand things to include "off-road wagons"the list only grows by three (Audi Allroad, Subaru Outback and Volvo XC70.) Despite the shrinking market, Volvo's brand has long been associated with practical wagons. It's almost hard to believe it has been three full years since Volvo sold one in America. That's about to change with the 2015 V60.
The Datsun 810 wagon was a fairly common sight on the streets of Northern California during the Middle and Late Malaise Eras, sort of the semi-sporty wagon choice for families who wanted a family hauler with a bit of 280Z in its genes. The Datsun 810 became the Datsun Maxima by the early 1980s and the Nissan Maxima by 1984, and all of the rear-drive members of this family have become rare finds these days. We've seen this '82 Maxima and this '78 810 wagon so far in this series; those two cars and today's 810 were all shot during trips to California wrecking yards. I don't know if they even existed outside of a 50-mile radius from San Francisco. (Read More…)
When I went to Iceland to abuse some Subarus, I managed to visit a couple of Reykjavik junkyards and poke around a bit. In addition to the weird-to-American-eyes French cars and puzzling quantities of 1990s Chrysler products, I found this VAZ-2121 aka Lada Niva 3-door wedged nose-to-tail with a green Megane. (Read More…)
One thing that makes Colorado wrecking yards different from those in the rest of the country is the large numbers of Subarus in every yard. We're talking the history of Subaru North America in every yard here. In fact, you'll see more 1980s and 1990s Leones aka GLs, DLs, and Loyales in a typical Denver-area self-serve yard than you'll see Corollas or Civics. You'll also find lots of more recent Legacies and Imprezas, not to mention XTs, BRATs, SVXs, and even the occasional Justy 4WD. 1970s Subarus, however, are getting pretty rare here; in this series, we've seen just this '79 Leone wagon and this '79 GL sedan so far. Today, we add this very-much-of-its-time '78 wagon. (Read More…)
Plenty of front-wheel-drive Cutlasses go to The Crusher without being photographed for this series, but here's one with an interesting customization job that attracted my attention. Why didn't GM ever make a wagon with a red-glass option? (Read More…)
Starting in January of 2014, consumers will be able to buy a real wagon again from Volvo. The brand will re-introduce the V60 "sports wagon", with a lineup of 4, 5 and 6-cylinder turbocharged engines, with the 4-cylinder motors eventually filtering down to the rest of the lineup.
Chrysler scored big in the North American market with their K-car-based minivan in the early 1980s, and the Japanese automotive manufacturers wanted to cash in on the demand for front-wheel-drive (or four-wheel-drive) small van-like machines. Toyota, Nissan, and Mitsubishi brought over the Master Ace, Vanette, and Delica, respectively, and you could get all sorts of little Japanese wagons as well, but nothing seemed able to pry many sales away from the Caravan. So, Nissan took their top-heavy-looking Prairie, slapped some badges from the unrelated Stanza on it, and shipped a bunch across the Pacific. Few bought the Stanza Wagon, which makes them very rare Junkyard Finds. Here's one I found in Denver a couple weeks back. (Read More…)
The successor to the incredibly successful Dodge Dart/Plymouth Valiant was the Dodge Aspen/Plymouth Volaré. These simple rear-wheel-drive cars sold fairly well, but for every Aspen or Volaré I see in high-turnover wrecking yards today, I find ten Darts and Valiants. Part of that reason is a short production run, part is (arguably) lower build quality, but I'm guessing the main reason is that Americans just didn't love the F-body Chryslers the way they did the A-body. When a Valiant got sick (which wasn't often), it got fixed; when a Volaré came down with some expensive problem, it got crushed. Now these things are almost nonexistent, but here's a very rare Volaré Premier wagon I spotted in a California yard a few months back. (Read More…)
Here are a few books I consider required reading for Transportation Design students: The Reckoning, Rude Awakening, All Corvettes are Red and Car: A Drama of the American Workplace. These show what it takes to make a car…to make a designer's work come to fruition.
Sadly, during my (short) time at the College for Creative Studies, we focused on creativity at all costs: pay no attention to the business behind the curtain. So while the Honda Crosstour is a curious stylistic exercise, does this dog hunt in the real world? (Read More…)

2010 Lexus GX460
Choose Lexus GX Style:
C/D Overview:
Lexus leaves no market seam uncaulked, and the GX460 fills the "full-size SUV sharing a body-on-frame platform with the cheaper Toyota 4Runner" niche. Redesigned for 2010, it offers optional third-row seating, has big-truck towing capacity, and costs way less than the LX570.
Base Price: $52,845 - $57,640
A Lexus above, a Toyota truck below—what could be better for resale (or Toyota's profits)?
Ride is sacrificed to the crude architecture, why not just buy a 4Runner?
What's New
Redesigned for 2010.
Behind The Wheel
A 2010 model wasn't available to drive before deadline, but it will share its rough-and-tumble truck bits with the 4Runner while offering V-8 power and Lexus luxury.
