Engaging Today's Militant Atheist Arguments
In this paper, MIT professor Ian Hutchinson addresses the question of how to engage arguments put forward by the New Atheists. In doing so, he offers a critique of scientism, the assumption that scientific knowledge is all the real knowledge there is.
Seeking a Signature
In this article, Venema offers his review of Stephen Meyer's book Signature in the Cell.
Creation, Evolution, and Christian Laypeople
In this paper, Keller considers three main clusters of questions lay people raise when they learn of anyone teaching that biological evolution and biblical orthodoxy can be compatible. Keller offers some ideas on how to provide responses that take these concerns seriously.
Scientific Fundamentalism and its Cultural Impact
Giberson's essay makes the case that scientific fundamentalists are not merely arguing for the supremacy of science but also presenting science as a quasi-religious replacement. The agenda of the "New Atheists" is not merely to refute mainstream religion but to replace it. Unfortunately, the scientific community is poorly represented by these aggressive public figures.
Saturday Sermon: The Failure of Religion
In the last verses of Romans 2, the Apostle Paul relates the "failure of religion because of the terrible beauty of the Law" to the need for a regenerate heart.
Evolution and the Origin of Biological Information
In this paper, Venema explores several examples in biology where random mutation and natural selection have indeed led to substantial increases in biological information. The question of how new specified information arises in DNA, far from being an "enigma", is one of great interest to biologists.
Saturday Sermon: John Piper on Genesis 1:26-28
In this message, John Piper, one of America's most loved pastors explores the sense in which creation "begs for completeness."
Saturday Sermon: Heart of Darkness
In the Garden of Eden, Eve is tempted to put her own desires ahead of God's call for her life. The serpent tells her that if she eats of the fruit she can become like God: she, in essence, can become the master of her own fate.
Saturday Sermon: The First Wedding Day
The ordained and blessed tradition of marriage is established in Genesis 2: 18-25. This passage communicates important ideas, Dr. Keller affirms, about both marriage seeking and marriage executing. When considered, these concepts will allow one to be successful in both areas.
Saturday Sermons: The Garden of God
Genesis 2:2-17 places an interesting emphasis on work—not only does God work to bring about all creation, but also, man is called to the task of caring for God's world.
Saturday Sermons: In the Image of God
Dr. Keller explains several crucial implications that result from the radical idea that humans have been made in the image of God.

Welcome Linda! I have been considering getting involved with fostering for a rescue group that pulls many of their dogs from a high volume, crowded animal control in our local area. I've heard that it's important to do a home quarantine in this type of situation? I was wondering if you had any advice on home quarantine? I want to help out and presently have two dogs of my own and while they are current on all vaccinations, I've still been a little nervous about it… If the foster receives vaccinations once it's pulled, am I just worrying too much?
Linda's Answer:
Great question! I think it's very important to protecting the health of your own animals by housing a new foster animal separately for 7-10 days, especially one coming from an animal shelter such as you are describing.
Even if the shelter is vaccinating their dogs when they arrive, some dogs will have been exposed to and are incubating a contagious disease before being vaccinated, and just not showing symptoms yet. These may break with the disease in your home. Most common diseases of dogs show up within a 10 day window. Also, some dogs have suppressed immune systems and will not respond to a vaccination with good immunity. In addition, the development of immunity from a vaccination takes a little time, so encouraging a shelter to vaccinate when the animals arrive, versus when they leave, will help ensure the health of the animals when you get them.
Also remember that disease transmission during the "quarantine" period in the foster home may be related to "fomites" (objects such as your clothing or shoes which carry disease particles). Having a spare shirt and pants in the room to pull over yourself when handling/interacting with the new foster is ideal. The clothes can be left in the room so as not to carry potential disease back to your own animals. Feces and urine can also carry disease, so potty area for a new dog should ideally be in a place not used by your own pets.
Quarantine periods make the initial fostering a little awkward, but they are critical to avoiding the spread of disease. Your own dogs should of course be vaccinated as well, including against Bordatella. Be sure to let your veterinarian know you will be fostering, and to follow their specific recommendations for a vaccination schedule for your pets.

I have been foster home for several dogs in the past and I'm now getting ready to take my first foster kitty. While the shelter always does a good job of promoting their pets, I like to help out as much as I can too. In the past with the pups I would do things like take them on walks through town with "adopt me" bandannas on. Are there things I can do to help my foster cat get adopted?
Linda's Answer:
Promoting foster kitties:
· Take a photo and email it far and wide, asking those who receive it to email to others to help find an adopter. Include details as to how to adopt. You can include the animal's picture and write-up under your signature as a more subtle marketing method.
· Place a photo with description on the counter of your local coffee shop. Use an acrylic frame that you can re-use.
· Post photo of kitty on social networking sites. Get neighborhood teens to take up the cause as community service—they are savvy online!
· Flyers of adoptable kitty on community bulletin boards—grocery stores, vets offices, libraries, etc.
· Invite people over for a "Meet the New Kitty" party.
· Petfinder is critical for finding cat homes! MHS uses the events calendar for our offsite adoption events and posts the photos of our adoptable pets online in advance to build traffic at the event.

My husband and I started fostering "last chance" dogs about a year ago. We currently have three of our own dogs and do not seem to be doing very well with keeping our foster dog seperate from our family pets (we always want to make them feel at home, even if it's only temporary.) Some of the dogs that come into are home are already vaccinated and believed to be healthly, others we know very little about them medically speaking. Are we putting our animals at a health risk by allowing the foster dogs to interact with the family dogs? In a situation where we know little about them medically, what would be the best quarentine procedure to put them through? We do have a partially-finished basement that can be bleached down where we are able to do a quarentine.
Linda's Answer:
I would recommend a 7-10 day quarantine (use that great room downstairs) for all incoming dogs. Only allow them to interact with resident pets once that period is over AND the foster is symptom-free. At the same time, your own pets should be fully vaccinated. Check with your vet, as you may need to booster Bordatella and Leptospirosis a little more frequently than for dogs not exposed to foster animals. Remember that a foster dog is usually coming from a caged-living situation, and your basement room is much bigger and less stressful than a cage. In other words, don't feel guilty for restricting their space somewhat for a week or so in order to protect your own dogs.

I fostered a two year old dog last year that I fell in love with and adopted. He had issues such as severe separation anxiety, shyness and was poorly socialized. He has made terrific progress. He is now a wonderful family pet good with people and most other dogs. I would like to foster another dog. What is the best way to introduce our dog to a foster and what behavior issues should we look out for that might indicate the foster is not a good fit? Thanks for your help.
Linda's Answer:
At MHS we encourage our foster families who have dogs to bring their pet to meet the potential foster dog. The meeting is done on leash (held loosely so as not to incite aggression) in a neutral room with an MHS staff person watching. Dogs should sniff each other, circle, maybe growl a little or even wag and seem interested. Some dogs are simply not interested in each other, and that is okay too. The problems like one dog trying to dominate or attack the other dog can be viewed, and the foster situation avoided.
I am not a dog behavior expert, so you might want to check with someone who specializes in that area for more specific information.

If I decided to foster, am I required to keep the dog until it is adopted? I know that sometimes it can take a while to find the right home and I have friend who has had a foster cat for over a year now. Is it possible to foster for a specific period of time? say six or nine months?
Linda's Answer:
Depending on the specific agency for which you foster, you may need to hold onto the pet until adopted, or you may be bringing the animal back when an opening is available in either the shelter or an offsite adoption event. At MHS, we try to give our foster families an estimate of the length of time they will be fostering, and the most common length of time is 3-4 weeks. It could be shorter if the animal is already sterilized or being held short-term for an adoption event. It could be longer if the animal does not progress as expected with either weight gain, illness recovery, or injury recovery. After 2 months, we contact our foster families still holding animals to expedite the adoption process, but that is the minority of cases--most are in and out in about a month. One exception would be when an animal is not suitable for housing in a shelter or offsite setting, so the foster promotes the animal on Petfinder and our website and waits until interested adopters contact them. So six to nine months sounds like a long period of time to me, but I can see it happening when an agency has limited adoption spaces available.

I volunteer at a shelter where we have a relatively small, but extremely wonderful and dedicated foster program. How do we know which of our dogs are best suited for a foster home and which are more appropriate to keep in our shelter?
Linda's Answer:
We choose animals for fostering at MHS based on their conditions. Animals who are not tolerating the shelter setting well are prime candidates. Others might be those with mild upper respiratory infections, which are generally easy to treat in a home setting and add significant virus load to the air supply in a shelter--get these into foster! Also, immature kittens and puppies with nursing moms usually do better in the lower stress environment of a good foster care home rather than the shelter. We limit sending kittens and puppies without moms to 4 weeks and older to foster care, due to the difficulty of raising these by foster parents, although many groups do this. Others to consider for fostering include dogs with generally simple behavior issues such as housetraining or household manners. Elderly animals and shy animals may also be good candidates with proper temperament screening for agtgressive tendencies for the latter. Hope that helps--bravo for your good program!

About Me Bargain Hunter, High-End Shopper, Practical, Stylish
The product arrived in perfect shape and looks fabulous in our room. We have received many compliments on the furniture piece and it has helped us organize with the spacious side cabinets. The tv stand fits our 46 inch tv perfectly and is a great corner unit. We had read that it was cumbersome to put together. However, it was not all that difficult. Two or three of the steps were not clear, but could be figured out best by looking ahead to the next step. We are extremely happy with our purchase! The unit is heavy, so not easily able to be moved, but very sturdy and sound.

A great TV stand. Assembly was easy enough but definitely was a 2+hour job that required two people at times. We had all the pieces and did not have any broken or dented pieces.The delivered package is very heavy and bulky. It was a chore to get it upstairs into our family room.Overall, we are very pleased with the stand.

Meets Expectations
By MJH
from Durham, NC
About Me Bargain Hunter, High-End Shopper
I like the simple, timeless style and the convenience of a corner unit. The hinges are a bit tricky to adjust properly, but I find that's true for most hinge hardware. My 46" LCD fits perfectly in terms of width. It definitely has room for all my components and some DVDs and stuff, but having all that room means the middle of the TV is a few inches higher than normal eye level when I'm sitting on my couch. -Time to get a new couch, I guess...
Excellent Quality Piece
By RAC Networks
from Hoouston, TX
We needed an entertainment center that would fit in a corner under the space our flat screen is mounted and that would hold a bunch of components. This piece is perfect! It is very sturdy, very roomy and yet fits in a relatively small space without breaking our bank account. Locally we would have paid[$]for a similar item. I am more than pleased.
Well-constructed product!

Took a while to put together, but instructions were decent. Very sturdy, and the packaging was very thorough. While still in the box, I could have thrown this off the roof (if I could lift it myself) with little damage.

|During the past several years, the scientific community has been subjected to a campaign to improve communications with the external public. The drumbeat for enhanced engagement emanated from a range of interests.

I've been kicking this idea around for at least a year so many of you already know about it, but by the end of this month I will be launching an all new version of NerdWealth.com.
I am switching to vbDrupal, which I'm really excited about. Not only will we be able to have fun with all kinds of drupal modules on top of the blog (wiki, perhaps ) but it is also tightly integrated with vbulletin. People will be able to use the same account to comment on the blog, interact with other aspects of the site, and use the forum.
Yes, the forum. No, it's not going to be more of whywork. The forum is going to require paid memberships, so every person in there will be serious about making money online. I will be inviting a few get money allstars to help get the forum moving, but it will quickly expand to people from far wider circles on the internet than the same old dg crowd. I will be personally contributing ideas, tips, and code that I would never drop on a public forum.
Here is the planned structure for the forums:
I am posting this now to find out what you guys think and see if you have any other suggestions for the site. I know I've been really infrequent on my NerdWealth updates to date, but with the new launch I will be updating much more regularly and possibly bringing on an additional blogger or two.
I plan on offering the first 50 memberships at $19.95/mo then raising prices after that. I'm excited to hear what you guys think.

Wayne van Zwoll: The Science of Recoil
Categories:: The Technical Rifleman
Wayne van Zwoll | Mar 21, 2012 | Comments 1
Launching a bullet sends a surge of energy in the opposite direction. We feel it as recoil. Boost bullet speed or weight, and recoil increases. Adding weight to a rifle reduces felt recoil because the mass absorbs the thrust. But shooting position also affects what you feel. If your body is free to "give" under recoil, it will hurt less. Stock dimensions matter too. A low, sharp comb can bang you mercilessly. A short length of pull gives the rifle a running start. A grip and forend that afford your hands little purchase let the rifle come back fast. A small, hard buttplate focuses and accentuates the thrust.
Uncomfortable recoil makes you flinch. Flinching makes you miss. No matter how big and tough you are, lively recoil gets your attention. If you're thinking about recoil or anticipating the rifle's kick, how can you focus on smooth execution of a shot? You can't.
Muzzle brakes mitigate recoil by bleeding gas through ports to the side as the bullet exits. But the noise and blast of a braked rifle can affect you as severely as the recoil. Without adequate ear protection, you'll sacrifice your hearing to muzzle brakes. At the range, ear-plugs and muffs (I use both) make brakes practical. In the field, you'll want to pick up slight noises. Solution: install a brake for routine practice, then replace it with a cap to cover the muzzle threads when you hunt. You'll probably not notice recoil when firing one shot at game.
Because felt recoil varies from rifle to rifle, and load to load, ranking cartridges by recoil energy is pointless. But you can easily determine the recoil thrust of your pet loads in your rifle:
KE=MV2/GC, where M is the rifle's mass and V is its velocity. GC is a gravitational constant for earth: 64.32. V= bullet weight (grs.)/7000 x bullet velocity (fps) + powder weight (grs.)/7000 x gas velocity (fps)/M.
Powder and gas figure in because as "ejecta" they contribute to recoil. Gas speed varies, but Art Alphin, in his A-Square loading manual, suggests 5200 fps as an average. The "7000" denominators convert grains to pounds so units make sense in the end.
For a 180-grain bullet fired with a 70-grain powder charge at 3000 fps from an 8 ½-pound .300 Magnum, the numbers line up like this:
180/7000 x 3000 + 70/7000 x 5200 = 8.5 x V. Simplified: (77.143 + 52)/8.5 = V = 15.19 fps.
The final formula: 8.5(15.19)2/64.32 = 30.49 ft.-lbs. of recoil.
If math either bores you or triggers high-school nightmares, you can scrounge recoil figures from tables, available from a variety of sources for common rifles and cartridges.
Some loads are unconscionably brutal. The .378 Weatherby hammers you with 90 ft.-lbs. that feel like a whack from a splitting maul. Lightweight rifles can be vicious, even with proper stocking. My 7 ½-pound .458 leaves cheek and clavicle begging for mercy. A 9-pound .30-06 delivers a civil 19 ft.-lbs. of recoil with a 180-grain bullet. A 7-pound '06 hits you with 25 – about as much as a 150-grain load in a 9-pound .300 Winchester.
To shoot well, use a rifle that doesn't beat you up. There's no glory in fighting recoil, or missing because you flinch.

Obama: Gun-control advocates have to listen more
WASHINGTON (AP) — President Barack Obama says gun-control advocates have to do a little more listening than they do sometimes in the debate over firearms in America.
In an interview with The New Republic, Obama says he has "a profound respect" for the tradition of hunting that dates back for generations.
"And I think those who dismiss that out of hand make a big mistake. Part of being able to move this forward is understanding the reality of guns in urban areas are very different from the realities of guns in rural areas," he says.
Obama has called for a ban on military-style assault weapons and high-capacity ammunition magazines and is pushing other policies following the mass shooting last month at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn. In response, gun-rights advocates have accused Obama and others of ignoring the Second Amendment rights of Americans.
The president says it's understandable that people are protective of their family traditions when it comes to hunting.
"So it's trying to bridge those gaps that I think is going to be part of the biggest task over the next several months. And that means that advocates of gun control have to do a little more listening than they do sometimes," he says.
Has Obama himself ever fired a gun?
"Yes," the president says, "in fact, up at Camp David, we do skeet shooting all the time."
His daughters don't shoot skeet at the presidential retreat in Maryland, he adds, "but oftentimes guests of mine go up there."

Dialect Mugs
One of these mugs will acquaint yourself with some good Scottish lingo.
The language we use and our pronunciation are indicators to the outside world of where we come from and the linguistic traits we acquire along the way. Before the Act of Union 1707, Gaelic was the dominant language in the Highlands with Scots spoken in the Lowlands. Standard English, Scots and Scottish Gaelic are the main languages spoken today.Scots has regional dialects characteristic of particular areas of the country.Northern Scots can be heard in Aberdeenshire, Caithness, Easter Ross and Moray. Doric is commonly associated with the north east and is celebrated in its own festival.In Tayside, there are subtle differences in Scots ranging from Dundonian in the city of Dundee and its surrounds to the broad dialect of the Angus Glens. The Central Lowlands and South West are associated with Central Scots. The South West was influenced by people moving from Glasgow and across the Irish Sea while Southern Scots spoken in the Borders and Dumfriesshire is also known as border Scots.

Vermont: the first state to pass a Death with Dignity law through legislation!
Lawmakers in Vermont supported the rights of terminally ill individuals and passed a Vermont law designed on the Oregon and Washington Death with Dignity Acts—the first one to be enacted through a legislative process and first of its kind on the east coast.
With Governor Peter Shumlin's signature today, Vermont took a historic step forward by becoming the first state to pass a law modeled on the groundbreaking Oregon and Washington Death with Dignity Acts through a legislative process.
Australia21 - a non-profit body, committed to an analysis of complex issues, which bear on Australia's future - was approached in 2012 with the suggestion that the issues of voluntary euthanasia and assisted suicide would benefit from Australia21's multidisciplinary approach to the exploration of complex policy issues. As preparation for a roundtable conference
Death with Dignity National Centre (Melissa Barber) reports on April 18, 2013:
Great news from Vermont today! After hearing testimony from various end-of-life care experts, advocates, and some opponents over the last two weeks, the Vermont House Human Services Committee decided to focus on bill language with safeguards modeled on the Oregon Death with Dignity legislation. All of us here at the Death with Dignity National Center
Please find here an analysis by Daniel Carré of ADMD France of the Siccard report (in French only) that integrated important reactions to this work. A debate will take place in the year on a PPL (project of Law) filed by Jean Leonetti. This project provides no notable change compared with the Act of April 22, 2005. The will of the patient is not recognised and the decision of measures to be taken during a stop of treatment
Osmonde is a short fiction film that portrays the last interactions of a young teacher and his eighty-four year old illiterate grandmother who, after spending eleven years of solitude in a care home, makes the decision to resort to assisted suicide. In order to make her change her mind, he undertakes to teach her how to read and write.
SAVE-YA, Syndicated Australian Voluntary Euthanasia Youth Advocates, became the 49th member of the WFRtDS. SAVE-YA supports, and have adopted, the SA Voluntary Euthanasia Society's (SAVES) definition of voluntary euthanasia as being:' A quick and peaceful death brought about under medical supervision at the request of and in the interests of a patient
Because it – even in the Netherlands - is still not possible to realize a dignified self-managed (without assistance) death, the Coöperatie Laatste Wil (Cooperative Last Wish) is established for anyone over the age of 18.The initiative is supported by NVVE.
On 15 April 2013 the Montana Senate defeated bill H.B. 505 , a bill that would have criminalised medically assisted dying and would have mandated prison sentences and fines for physicians who provide aid in dying to terminally ill patients. The vote was 27 to 23 in opposition, after which the Senate also voted to indefinitely table the bill, eliminating the need for a final vote later.
JSDD - Japan's Society for Dying with Dignity - just published its April 2013 Newsletter nr 149.
In the scope of the 30th anniversary of RWS a new documentary by Marc Cosyns and Alexander Decommere had its premiere during a celebration in Antwerpen on January 26, 2013.

After three months of work (after school and at lunchtimes) the Dalek is now complete. In a scene resembling an episode of Dr Who, the Dalek emerged from the DT Department for a quick photo shoot. It was well received by all who saw it.
Mr Stevens is now editing the video that will show how it was made so that it can be used in DT lessons. The video will show how computer aided design and manufacture was used to make it.
He would like to thank all the staff and pupils who helped with its construction including the staff at Nottingham Trent University and invites all staff and pupils to come and have a look at it.
Keep an eye out for future appearances that it may make at school events.
The DT Dalek is now 90% complete.
Only a few minor jobs and some painting are needed in order to complete it. On Monday, the dome (for the head) was delivered by Nottingham Trent University which meant that the final part, the head, could be completed.
The DT Department would like to say a big thank you to them as without use of their huge vacuum forming machine, the dome would have been very hard to make. Keep an eye out for pictures of the finished Dalek, expected in the final week of the term.
The Design Technology Department is making a full size Dalek!
Mr Stevens, who is running the project, hopes to have it completed by the end of the summer term. The aim of the project is to show the students how all the machines in the DT Department can be used to make the various parts.
The project, so far, has used a wide range of equipment such as Computer Aided Manufacturing (CNC Milling and Laser cutting) through to traditional manufacturing techniques such as wood turning and vacuum forming.
The project has also created links with Nottingham Trent University who are helping to form the dome, part of the Dalek's head. Mr Holt is making a voice changer with his Systems class to add to the realism.
Previous | Next
DT Dalek
A video is also being made to show how the Dalek was made which should be a valuable teaching resource when teaching Resistant Materials.
The Dalek is going to be based upon one which featured in the Dr Who series called 'Genesis of the Daleks' where Davros, creator of the Daleks first appeared.
Keep an eye out for further updates as more progress is made or you may be EXTERMINATED!!!

The people you hire to run your team is just as important. If they were guys he hired that did nothing is a fail on his part period.
Alderson has been an epic fail so far.
And "ultimately," Alderson said, "we're judged on whether we win or lose."

Or Hawkins, which ever you want, and TJS is nothing these days, guys come back better, i'd take Giolito over Gavin mediocrity today too.
You can talk by the way your great plan consists of throwing away the only quality LH starter we have developed since we threw the last one down the toilet.
I'm not sure why you're still clinging on to the Alderson myth.
PS The only talents SA has displayed so far is that he can let contracts expire on star players, fail in FA and to make (mostly) garbage trades, and of course he can keep a straight face whilst lying thru his teeth.

MILNEWS.ca News Highlights – 18 Dec 10
- Remember the Toronto 18 terrorists? Some of the cases have wrapped up appeals at the Ontario Court of Appeal, and guess what? MORE TIME FOR YOU (and you with the life sentence, keep it)! More in news releases here and here – more from mainstream media here, here, here and here.
- Also, remember this guy, getting on the plane in Hong Kong looking like an old man and getting off the plane in Vancouver looking like a young Chinese man? It seems participants on jihadi online forums are talking about his stunt. "The young Chinese asylum seeker who boarded a plane for Canada disguised as an elderly white man has drawn the attention of visitors to an extremist Islamist website, who have praised the elaborate plan as a potential tactic. Shumukh al-Islam, an al-Qaida affiliated website meaning Islamic Honour, has an ongoing Arabic-language discussion on the young man's entry into Canada that cites the details of his arrival here. A forum on the site praised the idea as a tool for so-called "holy warriors." "This is a great idea that can benefit the mujahedeen," one member, with the name Attique of the North, wrote shortly after the discussion began on Shumukh al-Islam last Tuesday. "Truly this will benefit the mujahedeen," another anonymous person wrote …."
- Remember the mayor of Kandahar City being underwhelmed about how Western (including Canadian) aid money was being spent? Lots of interesting discussion of that story here at Army.ca – well worth a look.
- Some CF-generated copy of what the troops are up to in Afghanistan (1): "In June 2009, in anticipation of the up-coming Afghan presidential election, Task Force Kandahar (TFK) was tasked to converge on Salavat, a village near Nakhoney in Panjwa'i District, to disrupt a key insurgent staging area. The two-day operation, called CONSTRICTOR, involved the entire 2nd Battalion Royal 22e Régiment Battle Group and close to 200 Afghan soldiers and police. By its end, Salavat had yielded up close to 80 kg of explosives, emplaced IEDs and shell casings, plus night letters, pieces of uniform clothing, and some weapons old enough to be museum pieces — all typical signs of insurgent presence …."
- Some CF-generated copy of what the troops are up to in Afghanistan (2): "By the end of 2010, the Civil-Military Co-operation (CIMIC) Company in Task Force Kandahar is expected to reach a major milestone: the completion of more than 500 development and reconstruction projects that will make an immediate positive impact on local Afghans. "Five hundred completed projects is unprecedented, and a great accomplishment for TFK CIMIC personnel. To be able to accomplish so much in such a short time and within this environment, is something I did not think was possible, but through the hard work of our personnel and our partners, we did it," said Major William Carrie Riddell, the officer commanding TFK CIMIC Company on Roto 9 …."

SANTA CLARA >> The 49ers have the framework for a deal to trade Alex Smith to the Kansas City Chiefs for a second-round draft pick this year and a conditional third-round pick in 2014, multiple NFL sources told the Bay Area News Group on Wednesday.
One source cautioned that no deal can be official until March 12, hinting that the 49ers could wait for someone else to up the ante, but that source didn't deny trade talks are very far along.
With the Chiefs' second-round pick this April (No. 34 overall), the 49ers stand to own a whopping 15 draft picks -- 11 already in hand, another three likely compensatory picks that will be announced later this month, and this year's pick for Smith.
The 2014 pick from the Chiefs is at minimum a third-round choice that could become a second-round selection based on Smith's playing time and Kansas City's success, a source stated. The Chiefs hold the first overall draft pick on April 25 based on last season's 2-14 record, which tied as the league's worst with the Jacksonville Jaguars.
Left tackle Joe Staley, one of Smith's closest friends, tweeted: "Best of luck to Alex in KC. Amazing teammate, friend, and person. I know he will do great things there."
Fox Sports' Jay Glazer first reported Wednesday that the Chiefs would be Smith's destination. A deal was deemed "effectively complete" Sunday according to a report then by CBS Sports' Jason LaConfora.
Kansas City is a familiar landing spot for former 49ers quarterbacks, including most notably Joe Montana's trade there in 1993. Other ex-49ers who went on to start for Kansas City were Steve DeBerg, Steve Bono and Elvis Grbac.
Montana was a 36-year-old, four-time Super Bowl winner when the 49ers packaged him, safety David Whitmore and a 1994 third-round pick to the Chiefs for the 18th overall pick in 1993.
Smith, 28, was drafted first overall in 2005 out of Utah. His departure this spring has been anticipated ever since Colin Kaepernick burst onto the scene in November and helped lead the 49ers to the Super Bowl.
Smith's career was beset early on by poor supporting casts, coaching changes and a 2007 shoulder injury. He morphed into one of the league's most efficient passers the past two seasons under coach Jim Harbaugh. Continued...
Smith has compiled a 38-36-1 regular-season record as a 49ers starter, including a 19-5-1 mark since 2011 before sustaining a Nov. 12 concussion that cost him his starting job.
Safety Donte Whitner tweeted: "Good luck to Mr. Alex Smith. I know you'll do great under Andy Reid in KC. The ultimate pro!"
Dating back to halftime of an Oct. 18 win over Seattle, Smith completed 36 of his final 39 passes for 391 yards with five touchdowns and one interception. He did not play in any of the 49ers' three playoff games.
In his last full outing, Smith completed 18 of 19 passes in a 24-3 win at Arizona on Oct. 29, earning him a first-career NFC Offensive Player of the Week award.
Once Harbaugh stuck with Kaepernick over a medially cleared Smith for a Nov. 25 start at New Orleans, Smith's backup status seemed sealed. "It sucks. I don't know what else to say," Smith said on Nov. 29. "I feel the only thing I did to lose my job was get a concussion."
Smith's status did not become a divisive force inside the 49ers locker room as they went on to win their second straight NFC West title and reach their second straight NFC title game.
Despite leading the 49ers to a playoff-opening win over the New Orleans Saints in the 2011 season, Smith's future was cast in doubt as he became a free agent and the 49ers considered replacing him with Peyton Manning. Once Manning opted to sign with the Denver Broncos, the 49ers re-signed Smith to a three-year, $24 million contract that basically allowed them to escape the deal this offseason. Smith would be guaranteed $8.5 million for this season only if he's on the 49ers' roster April 1.
In the days leading up to the Super Bowl, Smith denied a report that he would request his release, although he didn't mask his desire to start again.
Matt Cassel has been the Chiefs' starting quarterback most of the past four seasons, since they acquired him in a 2009 trade with the New England Patriots. Cassel is expected to be released.
Scott Tolzien is poised to serve as Kaepernick's backup with the 49ers. Another possible option is brining back Josh Johnson, a pending free agent who was cut after last season's exhibition season with the 49ers. Continued...
The 49ers' draft picks would include five of the first 93 selections: No. 31 overall, No. 34 (from the Chiefs), No. 61 (original second-round pick), No. 74 (third-round choice, acquired from the Carolina Panthers last draft) and No. 93 (original third-round pick). They also own two picks in the fifth, sixth and seventh rounds prior to the upcoming compensatory choices they'll be awarded, having accrued those multiple picks via trades with the Indianapolis Colts (fifth round), Miami Dolphins (sixth round) and Cincinnati Bengals (seventh round).

The floral connector is very well made, and I think the illustration of these items used in a bracelet is what sold me. Glad I bought it.

Very nice connector, however, I think it is a bit more gold than Antique Gold. Not sure how I am going to use this...But I will!
