Scot McCloughan does have a spotty draft history but some of his draft day deals he made and the guys he got has made the 49ers what they are today. Let's face it, their are a lot of GM's they hit or miss in the draft process. Their is noway you can be flawless during the draft. What some people don't realize is that the 49ers had a good team before Jim Harbaugh. They just didn't have any sense of direction coaching wise. good points It looks like we have a sensible fella helping ole' Jerry I'd be fine with any of these three Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In the wake of "scandals" involving Jonah Lehrer and Fareed Zakaria, plagiarism has earned a moment in the spotlight. I use the word "scandal" in ironic quotes because a real scandal is like bankers in London fixing interest rates in a manner similar to a criminal cartel. Making up a Bob Dylan quote doesn't really touch that.
Nevertheless, these missteps can be serious but are often painted with too broad a brush. It's very important to distinguish. Guys like Stephen Glass and Jayson Blair made up stories out of whole cloth—fabulism. This is obviously wrong. What Jonah Lehrer did in making up quotes from Dylan is a much lesser offense. Stupid, wrong, and very weird considering how many Dylanologists are out there pouring over every word that strange, awesome motherf***er ever uttered, but in the end, not even approaching the level of a Glass or Blair. It's the difference between homicide and aggravated assault.
Self-plagiarism, in my humble opinion, should barely be considered a faux pas. It's like jaywalking Obviously, if you're copying huge swaths of an article you wrote at the Wall Street Journal and handing them in to the New Yorker, your editor should be like, "Hey, Jonah, you douche, I'm paying you for new material." But as a writer who hands out most of his work for free (or virtually free) here at RedEye, you can bet that I'll re-appropriate certain ideas or phrases that I concocted in other formats. At worst, you're just kind of lazy.
When it comes to Zakaria, let's call that first offense larceny. The bits he stole from Jill LePore's essay on gun control (that I totally recommended!) were mostly attributed quotes with similar phrasing bookending the person quoted. There are only so many ways to phrase certain things, especially if you're listing facts or dates.
Also, keep in mind it's not as though a bunch of writers have decided to plagiarize just now. There were simply fewer tools to catch the plagiarists of the past. With the advent of Google and other targeted search technology, it has become significantly easier to catch it. However, if I could be blunt for a moment, it's totally obvious that every single writer EVER is nothing more than a skilled plagiarist. To deny this is to deny the fundamental nature of writing—especially non-fiction writing. The author amalgamates different sources into something new. Pieces of the whole come flying in from every direction: books, film, music, journalism, and the writer's duty is little more than to dress up these new bits into the semblance of something original.
It's so ironic that Lehrer got in trouble for making up Dylan quotes because Bob Dylan himself is a notorious plagiarist and fabulist. He's made up so many stories about himself, you lose count, and it seems like every five years the guy has a plagiarism scandal. Of course, it's different when you're writing a song than when you're writing an essay about gun control, but my point is that we often give ourselves too much credit for being original.
Additionally, in our modern hyper-connected information age, it's becoming harder and harder not to plagiarize.
I think about this often because I turn out these blog posts four times a week, and I'm usually citing sources that are obviously not my original journalism, and, no offense to RedEye, but this blog is about my fourth priority behind new book projects, editing, and other writing minutiae. I often grow terribly paranoid that I've inadvertently lifted something. I spend half my day reading, either books or articles or columns or blogs from around the web, and it's incredible the way certain facts or key turns of phrase can latch in your brain and then pop to the surface weeks, or months later. In fact, I fully admit I've caught myself at this on more than one occasion. I'll be staring at something I've written, thinking, "Damnit, I think I heard that somewhere."
I tell you that only to be totally honest, because, believe me, it's an affront to my own ego that I could be less than original (I wrote about how much "The Daily Show" annoyed me for this reason). Just last week I wrote the Stupidest Column Ever, wherein I talked about the Fox News-Gabby Douglas-Jingoism bit. Later that day I was catching up on some "Colbert Report" episodes and watched the story come up. Yet I know most of the points Stephen Colbert made in that clip had already been disseminated and multiplied across the blogosphere because I'd read so many of them in preparation for my piece. The way media disseminates now, it's getting incredibly difficult to discern who among us are having the original thoughts and who are just figuring out a way to switch the words around.
Anyway, here's an experiment no writer will ever let you do but would prove totally instructive:
Take a writer you admire—let's say for this random example, Slate's movie critic Dana Stevens (because I really like Dana Stevens's movie reviews). Follow Stevens around for a year recording every piece of media she ingests. Write down every book she reads, film she watches, song she listens to, article or blog or Facebook post or tweet she inhales. Then correlate it with the writing she does over that period. I'd bet any amount of money that you'd see, littered throughout her work, many of those influences reproduced with what amounted to shameless, bald-faced theft.
And I think you could do this with virtually any writer, but especially high-volume columnists, bloggers and non-fiction writers. Don't count this as a defense of Zakaria, who deserves a little time-out for some laziness and certainly don't count it as a defense of Lehrer, who proved himself a bit of a weirdo.
But there's only one quote you really need to understand about so-called creative people:
"Mediocre artists borrow, great ones steal outright."
-Stephen Markley


text: Quality, low-cost, bipolar fabrication with innovative design concepts are employed for the TL3474, TL3474A operational amplifiers. These devices offer 4 MHz of gain-bandwidth product, 13-V/µs slew rate, and fast settling time without the use of JFET device technology. Although the TL3474 and TL3474A can be operated from split supplies, they are particularly suited for single-supply operation because the common-mode input voltage range includes ground potential (VCC). With a Darlington transistor input stage, these devices exhibit high input resistance, low input offset voltage, and high gain. The all-npn output stage, characterized by no dead-band crossover distortion and large output voltage swing, provides high-capacitance drive capability, excellent phase and gain margins, low open-loop high-frequency output impedance, and symmetrical source/sink ac frequency response. These low-cost amplifiers are an alternative to the MC34074/A and MC33074/A operational amplifiers.

LOS ANGELES (AP) — Two Southern California bank robbers who threw the loot out a car window during a police chase have been sentenced to long prison terms.
Twenty-four-year-old Lavelle Mosley got 33 years on Friday and 27-year-old Terion Collins was sentenced to 45 years and eight months.
They were convicted of robbery in January.
Prosecutors say the gang members robbed a Bank of America branch in Canyon Country in September 2012 and fled in a stolen Volvo SUV.
During an hour-long chase by Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies, the crooks threw fistfuls of cash out the window, prompting bystanders to scramble for the money.
The pursuit ended on a street where authorities arrested the two men as throngs of people moved in and tried to take any remaining cash from the SUV.

Use this guide to replace fatigue damaged antenna cables routed inside the display.
No parts required.
Remove the eight 4 mm Phillips screws securing the lower case to the MacBook.
According to this page http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1651?viewl..., the 8 screws are not identical.
Can anybody tell me where each kind of screw is supposed to go?
They are all 100% Identical. You were probably looking at a different model, or Apple has entered the wrong information... Hey, It happens...
A1342 macbook does not have the right controller to support sata III
hi, i just got back from the apple store and they are really keen for me to upgrade to a new laptop since my battery is old and the screen is cracked, so glad i found ifixit i would love to upgrade this puppy! gonna make it a real sleeper! styler hall wrote about sticking 16 gb of ram in his a 1342 ? is this a simply mather of ordering 3 4gb sticks ?aslo i currently have 4 gb and would like to upgrade to 8 ( or indeed 16) does that mean i need to buy all new sticks or can i continue to use the old one and stick a new one next to it ?
thanks again mick van aar, perth western aus.
The A1342 will take up to 16 GB of RAM, however, there are only two RAM slots, so use two 8-GB RAM modules. Other World Computing (OWC) is a great reference source for info on exactly which RAM to use with which model; prices are usually much better on EBay though. Add an SSD from OWC and your machine will really scream!
I hope that helps!
Gregoire is right. The 8 screws are absolutely NOT identical, I'm looking at them right now, weeowey weeowey.
Slightly lift the lower case near the vent opening.
Continue running your fingers between the lower and upper cases until the upper case pops off its retaining clips.
Do the retaining clips have to be re-engaged when replacing the lower case?
Answering my own question, the clips re-engage when the lower case is correctly positioned. You can help them by gently pressing the lower case with your thumbs midway along the two short sides. When everything is correctly aligned the eight screw holes line up.
Rather than running your fingernail down the sides to free up the retaining clips, I found that using an old credit card, inserted about 1/4", to run along the left and right side popped those end retaining clips right off with no problem. You may need to twist the card slightly when in the middle area to help pop those off.
Use the flat end of a spudger to lift the battery connector up out of its socket on the logic board.
Be careful of the corner of the battery cable connector when trying to pry it off with the spudge. I knocked the corner of mine. No operational impact but was not very pleasing!
Not necessary, but a good idea, so as to avoid any spurious charges going through the boards...
@Svenaustx - What could happen if not removing this battery? Worst case? Not a geek on this but did change RAM on my Macbook Pro "15. Can't remember disconneting the battery back then. Shouldn't it be sufficient shutting the Mac off and ensure it has been used for an hour or so before replacing RAM?
Remove the following screws from the optical drive side of the rear vent:
Two 10 mm T8 Torx
Two 5.2 mm Phillips
Remove the following screws from the port side of rear vent:
Two 10 mm T8 Torx
Two 5.2 mm Phillips
Carefully lift the rear vent out of the upper case.
you can actually stop disassembling now and try to replace it now. after removing two t6 screws it came off pretty easily
Good tip, thanks! I skipped ahead to step 17 and had no problem getting the magsafe board out from under the logic board and the new one installed. Saves a lot of work disconnecting connectors indicated as Fragile!
matt15 -
Thank You! Saved me an hour or so of work and a lot of stress!
I also did Step 6, then skipped to Step 17 & 18. Once I had the display data cable off, I could remove the 2 T6 Torx screws holding the MagSafe board on and remove it. You can reach under the logic board with the point of the spudger to work the cable out of the socket. Note how you maneuver the board out of the tight space so you can maneuver it back in. When you put the new MagSafe board in, plug in the cable first. If you bend the wires so the plug approaches the socket at the appropriate angle, you can nudge it in with the pointed end of the spudger.
Thanks a lot for this hint! You saved my macbook, when I failed to unscrew the fan because of one completely destroyed screw. Thanks to your comment I skipped steps 7-16 and went straight to replacing the magsafe board without problems. The spudger and some 3D imagination and done,
Remove the single 3 mm Phillips screw securing the AirPort/Bluetooth antenna ground strap to the rear speaker.
Use the tip of a spudger to pry the AirPort and Bluetooth antenna connectors (3 total) up off the AirPort/Bluetooth card.
De-route the long antenna from its channel in the rear speaker housing.
Grab the plastic pull tab secured to the display data cable lock and rotate it toward the DC-In side of the computer.
There is also a thin metal lock clip under the plastic tab that has to be released ( Use the tip of a spudger ) before you can disconnect the display data cable.
Gently pull the display data cable connector away from its socket on the logic board.
Open your MacBook so the display is perpendicular to the upper case.
Place your opened MacBook on a table as pictured.
While holding the display and upper case together with your left hand, remove the remaining 7.8 mm with lock washer T8 Torx screw from the lower display bracket.
Remove the last remaining T8 Torx screw securing the display to the upper case.
Grab the upper case with your right hand and rotate it slightly toward the top of the display so the upper display bracket clears the edge of the upper case.
Rotate the display slightly away from the upper case.
Lift the display up and away from the upper case, minding any brackets or cables that may get caught.
Insert the flat end of a spudger between the thin rubber strip surrounding the front display bezel and the rear display bezel.
Use the flat end of your spudger to carefully pry the front display bezel away from the adhesive securing it to the rear display bezel.
Continue prying until the front display bezel is free along the right side of the display and behind the right clutch hinge.
Use the flat end of a spudger to pry the front display bezel off the top edge of the display assembly.
Continue separating until the top edge of the front display bezel is free from the display assembly.
Use your spudger to pry the left side of the front display bezel away from the display assembly.
Carefully pry up the area behind the left clutch hinge.
Slowly work your way across the lower edge of the front display bezel until it is free from the display assembly.
When you get about half way across, pry up from the other side of the front display bezel's lower edge to ease the process.
Remove the front display bezel from the display assembly.
Remove the two 3 mm Phillips screws securing the clutch cover to the rear display bezel.
Insert the flat end of a spudger into the open end of the clutch cover and pry up to release it from the rear display bezel.
Remove the clutch cover from the display assembly.
Remove following six screws securing the LCD to the rear display bezel:
Four 3.4 mm Phillips.
Two 3 mm Phillips.
Hold the display vertically and tip it enough to grab the top edge of the LCD and rotate it slightly out of the display assembly, being careful not to break the circuitry off its lower edge.
Peel the piece of tape covering the display data cable connector away from the edge closest to the LCD.
Use the tip of a spudger to flip up the thin steel retaining clip securing the display data cable to its socket on the LCD.
Pull the display data cable straight away from its socket on the LCD.
Lift the LCD out of the display assembly and set it aside.
I've read where some people have struggled with reconnecting this cable during reassembly. I found it easier to wait to route the camera cable to the camera until after reconnecting the display data cable and putting the display in place. That way I could pull a little more of the display data cable through towards the display and it gave me more room to work.
Remove the two small pieces of black tape securing the antenna cables to the rear display bezel.
Remove the four 2.3 mm Phillips screws securing the two antennas to the rear display bezel.
Remove the single 3.3 mm Phillips screw securing the lower antenna ground strap to the rear display bezel.
De-route the antenna cables from the slot cut into the rear display bezel.
Carefully pull the antenna cables out from under the frame attached to the rear display bezel and remove them from the display assembly.
To reassemble your device, follow these instructions in reverse order.

What is the trick to reattaching the antenna cables? They appear to be shaped like a hexagon and not circular, but still not able to press them down.
