J.A. Happ Rumors
Blue Jays Notes: Reyes, Lyon, Happ
Blue Jays GM Alex Anthopoulos introduced Jose Reyes in Toronto yesterday, explaining that players of Reyes' caliber are difficult to find. "He's electric," Anthopoulos said. "High energy, smile on his face, just so many things. This is a rare guy to find. Leadoff, shortstop, energy, makeup — check off every single box." Here are some more notes on the Blue Jays with Spring Training just a month away…
- Before the Blue Jays acquired Reyes, they had been "really close" to another trade that would have had a similar impact on their 2013 payroll, Anthopoulos said. They discussed the deal toward the end of October, when option decisions were due.
- The Blue Jays continue to seek a 25th man to round out their roster. Anthopoulos said last week that the Blue Jays would like to add a right-handed bench player capable of playing multiple infield positions. That said, the Blue Jays could add such a player in Spring Training.
- Don't expect another deal in the near future. "We're not having any dialogue at all with respect to trades," Anthopoulos said.
- The Blue Jays could add a player or two on minor league deals and under the right circumstances they could add a player to the 40-man roster.
- Anthopoulos hopes the rotation provides enough innings that the team doesn't need to seriously consider an eight-man bullpen. The Blue Jays have a pretty full bullpen, so it doesn't appear as though free agent right-hander Brandon Lyon will return. "I don't want to ever close the door on him, since he did a great job for us," Anthopoulos said.
- The GM stressed the importance of starting pitching depth and explained that players such as Justin Germano, Brad Lincoln and J.A. Happ provide the club with options.
- The Blue Jays are a 'file and trial' team meaning if they exchange filing numbers with players they go to a hearing. Anthopoulos said he's "hopeful" and "optimistic" that the Blue Jays could reach deals with their three remaining eligible players by today's deadline. Emilio Bonifacio, Happ and Josh Thole are Toronto's eligible players, as MLBTR's Arbitration Tracker shows. Assistant GM Jay Sartori is leading the way for the Blue Jays as they negotiate with their players.
- Though the Blue Jays look like an improved team, Anthopoulos cautioned that many of their American League rivals have also added significant pieces. "You can't take anything for granted," he said. "We haven't even played a game yet. We still have to win a game, and we have to win a lot more than one. The whole division is outstanding."

Astros, Blue Jays Complete Ten-Player Trade
The Astros and Blue Jays have completed a ten-player trade, the teams announced. The Astros obtain seven players from Toronto: right-hander Francisco Cordero, outfielder Ben Francisco, minor leaguers Joe Musgrove, Asher Wojciechowski, David Rollins and Carlos Perez, and a player to be named. The Astros send left-hander J.A. Happ (pictured) and right-handed relievers Brandon Lyon and David Carpenter to Toronto in the trade.
"Once again we are adding depth to our minor league system with quality young players," GM Jeff Luhnow said in a team press release. "We really feel this will help us moving forward and are extremely excited about the players we've added to our organization."
Cordero and Francisco don't have assurances of staying with the Astros beyond 2012. Cordero, 37, has a 5.77 ERA with 6.8 K/9 and 3.7 BB/9 in 34 1/3 innings this year. He signed a one-year deal with a base salary of $4.5MM before the season. Francisco, 30, earns $1.54MM this year and will be arbitration eligible again this coming offseason. He posted a .240/.296/.380 batting line in Toronto and battled a hamstring injury, so he could be considered a non-tender candidate.
The Blue Jays selected Wojciechowski in the supplementary first round of the 2010 draft. The 23-year-old has a 4.05 ERA with 7.0 K/9 and 2.2 BB/9 in parts of three minor league seasons. He ranked tenth on Baseball America's offseason list of Toronto's best prospects. Musgrove, 19, was a supplementary first round selection of Toronto's in the 2011 draft. The 6'5" right-hander has a 3.31 ERA with 7.4 K/9 and 1.4 BB/9 in 32 2/3 innings over the course of two pro seasons.
Rollins, 22, has a 2.46 ERA with 8.3 K/9 and 3.1 BB/9 in parts of two pro seasons. The Blue Jays selected the left-hander in the 24th round of the 2011 draft. Perez, 21, has a .275/.358/.447 batting line at Class A Lansing this year. The Venezuelan catcher has a career .777 OPS in parts of five minor league seasons.
Lyon, 32, is also on track to hit free agency this coming offseason. The former Blue Jays reliever has a 3.25 ERA with 8.8 K/9 and 2.8 BB/9 in 36 innings with Houston this year. Lyon, who pitched in Toronto from 2001-02, earns $5.5MM this year in the final season of a three-year, $15MM contract.
This marks the second time in three years that Happ has been involved in a midseason trade. The Astros acquired the left-hander from Philadelphia along with current Blue Jays outfielder Anthony Gose for Roy Oswalt in 2010. Happ, 29, has a 4.83 ERA with 8.5 K/9 and 3.4 BB/9 in 104 1/3 innings so far in 2012. He's earning a salary of $2.35MM this year and will remain under team control through 2014.
Carpenter, 27, has a 6.07 ERA with 8.2 K/9 and 4.2 BB/9 in 29 2/3 innings out of the bullpen this year. The right-hander has a strong minor league record: a 2.97 ERA with 9.6 K/9 and 3.5 BB/9 in five seasons.
The Blue Jays announced that they called up Travis Snider. The 24-year-old had a .335/.423/.598 batting line at Triple-A Las Vegas.

Players Avoiding Arbitration: Tuesday
Dozens of arbitration eligible players have agreed to deals with their respective teams today and we've been tracking all of the developments right here. Several teams, including the Rays, Nationals, Marlins, White Sox, Blue Jays, Braves, and perhaps Astros, are known for committing to going to hearings if they get to the point of filing. Keep track of all the madness with MLBTR's arbitration tracker, which shows settlement amounts, filing figures, and midpoints. Today's players to avoid arbitration on deals worth less than $4MM:
- The Cardinals avoided arbitration with pitcher Kyle McClellan, tweets B.J. Rains of FOX Sports Midwest. Joe Strauss of The St. Louis Post-Dispatch reports (on Twitter) that the one-year deal is worth $2.5MM with incentives based on starts. MLBTR projected a $2.7MM for the Steve Comte client.
- MLBTR's Ben Nicholson-Smith reports (on Twitter) that the Padres and Chase Headley agreed to a one-year deal worth $3.475MM, avoiding arbitration. Earlier this evening, the Padres announced that they avoided arbitration with Luke Gregerson, Edinson Volquez, Carlos Quentin and Will Venable. They also avoided arbitration with lefty reliever Joe Thatcher on a deal worth $700K, tweets Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports. CAA announced catcher John Baker has signed for $750K. Bill Center of the San Diego Union-Tribune first reported that the Padres reached agreements with Hundley, Chase Headley, and Tim Stauffer. Hundley will earn $2MM in 2012, MLB.com's Corey Brock tweets. Dan Hayes of the North County Times tweets the salaries for Volquez ($2.2375MM), Venable ($1.475MM), Gregerson ($1.55MM)
- The Rangers avoided arbitration with Matt Harrison, tweets Evan Grant of The Dallas Morning News. The ACES client gets $2.95MM on a one-year deal. MLBTR had projected a $2.9MM salary.
- The Cubs announced that they have avoided arbitration with Jeff Baker ($1.375MM), Blake DeWitt ($1.1MM), Ian Stewart ($2.237MM) Chris Volstad ($2.655MM), and Randy Wells ($2.705MM). MLB.com's Carrie Muskat tweeted the salary figures.

Phillies Acquire Roy Oswalt
Just one win shy of the Astros' franchise win record, Roy Oswalt is leaving the only team he's ever known. The 32-year-old righty approved a trade to the Phillies, who sent J.A. Happ and low minors prospects Anthony Gose and Jonathan Villar to Houston for Oswalt and $11MM. The Astros then flipped Gose to the Blue Jays. The Phillies will not pick up Oswalt's 2012 option, but will add $1MM to the buyout as compensation. Seven months after trading Cliff Lee to the Mariners for prospects, the Phillies added a different ace to their rotation to support Roy Halladay and Cole Hamels. Oswalt has a 3.42 ERA, 8.4 K/9, and 2.4 BB/9 in 20 starts this year.
Oswalt asked the Astros for a trade in late May, and talks ensued with the Phillies, Cardinals, Rangers, Padres, and Dodgers, among others. Astros owner Drayton McLane dealt directly with Phillies president David Montgomery to complete the complicated trade. As expected, Oswalt's full no-trade clause, his 2012 option, and the $23.46MM guaranteed to him through '11 were significant obstacles.
Happ, 27, finished second in the NL Rookie of the Year voting last year with a 2.93 ERA in 166 innings. However, he's tallied only 53 pro innings in 2010 due to an April forearm injury. Happ won't go to arbitration until after the 2011 season and the Astros control his rights through 2014.
Gose, a speedy center fielder playing at the High A level, was ranked sixth among the team's prospects by Baseball America heading into the season. He rates highly for his speed, defense, and arm tools, but remains a work in progress.
Villar, a shortstop in Low A ball, was ranked 22nd among Phillies prospects heading into the season. The results haven't been there yet but BA says he has "plus tools across the board except for power."
Mark Berman of FOX 26 Houston first reported the agreement late Wednesday night, while Ken Rosenthal, Jayson Stark, Jon Heyman, Matt Gelb, Amy K. Nelson, Jerry Crasnick, and Danny Knobler contributed more information today.

Oswalt Approves Phillies Deal; Option Won't Be Exercised
1:53pm: The deal is done, tweets Rosenthal. Piecing this together, it appears the Astros send Oswalt and $11MM to the Phillies for Happ, Gose, and Villar, with the Phils potentially adding $1MM to Oswalt's buyout but not exercising his option.
A few tweets from Crasnick: the Cardinals and Padres made late runs at Oswalt today.
1:44pm: Rosenthal tweets that Oswalt's option is actually a mutual one. With the trade, his buyout will increase from $1MM to $2MM if the Phillies pick up the option and he declines, and remain at $2MM "if he simply opts out on his own." Rosenthal adds that the third player in the deal will be shortstop prospect Jonathan Villar. Some sources spell it "Villan," including the Baseball America Handbook.
1:34pm: Oswalt has accepted the deal, tweets Matt Gelb of the Philadelphia Inquirer.
12:51pm: Gose and Happ are definitely in the deal, tweets CSN Philly's Jim Salisbury.
12:12pm: Oswalt plans to OK the deal, but it's not official yet, reports Stark. He adds that the Astros will be sending $11MM. Rosenthal tweets that Oswalt's 2012 option will not be exercised; he'll be compensated some other way. ESPN's Amy K. Nelson tweets that Oswalt will get $1MM added by the Phillies to the buyout of his '12 option. She adds that the details are being worked out now regarding Oswalt retaining his no-trade clause.
ESPN's Jerry Crasnick tweets of a rumor that speedy outfield prospect Anthony Gose may be in the deal. AOL FanHouse's Ed Price tweets that he's hearing Gose and Worley could be in the swap.
10:43am: Rosenthal tweets that he hears Singleton is not in the deal.
10:17am: The identities of the other two players going to Houston remain unknown, but ESPN's Jayson Stark says the Astros have pushed hard for minor league first baseman Jonathan Singleton.
9:04am: The Astros will receive three players for Oswalt, tweets Rosenthal, while also paying a "very significant" part of his salary. Happ will be one of the three. Astros owner Drayton McLane has been negotiating directly with Phillies president David Montgomery, reports CBS' Danny Knobler.
7:37am: SI's Jon Heyman hears the Astros and Phillies were discussing Happ, righty Vance Worley, and two younger pitchers (Twitter link). Worley, a 22-year-old righty, spent most of 2010 at Double A, posting a 3.20 ERA, 6.6 K/9, and 2.9 BB/9. Baseball America ranked him 18th among Phillies prospects heading into the season, predicting a future as a back-end starter or middle reliever.
1:08am: The Astros and Phillies have reached an agreement on a Roy Oswalt trade, reports Mark Berman of FOX 26 in Houston. Berman says the Astros are now waiting for Oswalt's approval, having hammered out the players and money with the Phils. Wednesday morning, Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports had reported that the players were "pretty much agreed on." Lefty J.A. Happ has been a rumored part of the deal for a while now.
Oswalt's contract has $5.46MM left from his $15MM salary this year, $16MM in 2011, and a 2012 option for $16MM with a $2MM buyout. It remains to be seen how the Astros and Phillies settled the financials and whether the Phils will pick up Oswalt's option, though SI's Jon Heyman hears that the Astros are sending a lot of money to the Phillies (Twitter link).

Ted Lilly Rumors: Wednesday
Ted Lilly may have made his last start as a Cub last night, tossing five-plus shutout innings in Houston while lowering his ERA to 3.69. The latest on the lefty up top:
- The Dodgers are more focused on Lilly and Paul Maholm than Roy Oswalt, according to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark.
- The market for Lilly has picked up, according to Stark (on Twitter). The Tigers are involved, and so are the Dodgers, Twins and Phillies.
- The Phillies have inquired on Lilly, according to Rosenthal (on Twitter). Ed Price of AOL FanHouse hears rumblings about a possible Lilly-J.A. Happ deal (Twitter link). However, Stark hears that the Phils, who are on the lefty's no-trade list, won't deal Happ for Lilly. The Twins and Dodgers remain involved, but the Mets are waiting to hear "from above" before pursuing Lilly more aggressively, according to Rosenthal.
- The Cubs have indicated a recent willingness to assume some of the $4.43MM owed to Lilly, reports ESPN's Jayson Stark. That'd help the chances of a Dodgers deal. Unfortunately for the Cubs, potential Lilly suitors like the Mets and Tigers may be reassessing their chances.
- The Twins have asked about Lilly, reports Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, but their presence on his no-trade list means he'd require additional compensation to accept a deal.

Roy Oswalt Rumors: Wednesday
The lowdown on Roy Oswalt, with the newest buzz up top…
- The Phils and Astros have a deal in place that would send Oswalt to Philadelphia, according to Mark Berman of FOX 26 Sports in Houston. Oswalt, who is aware of the potential deal, can make it official by waiving his no-trade clause. Ken Rosenthal and Jon Heyman are working to confirm the story on Twitter.
- Talks between the Phillies and Astros have intensified in the last day, according to ESPN.com's Jayson Stark. The clubs have more or less agreed on players – J.A. Happ and prospects would go to Houston – but they can't agree on how much salary the Astros will absorb. Jayson Werth is off the market, so taking on payroll won't be easy for the Phils.
- The Dodgers are now more focused on trying to obtain Ted Lilly or Paul Maholm.
- The Phillies and Astros are now dealing one-on-one, with no other teams involved, according to Olney (via Twitter). Jon Heyman of SI.com says the Phillies are the favorites to acquire Oswalt and notes (on Twitter) that the Yanks inquired once.
- Three or four teams will likely be involved if the Phillies acquire Oswalt, according to ESPN.com's Buster Olney (via Twitter).
- Astros owner Drayton McLane told Zachary Levine of the Houston Chronicle that a trade seems likely. "I'd say it's about 60% that something could be done and 40% that Roy will be here next year," McLane said.
- Oswalt is telling friends that he can't wait to leave Houston, according to Newsday's Ken Davidoff. The righty says he won't necessarily insist that teams pick up his 2012 option.
- Oswalt wants ample time to decide on any trade, reports MLB.com's Brian McTaggart. He doesn't want the Astros coming to him an hour or two before Saturday's deadline.
- The Reds made a cursory call on Oswalt, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports, but no names were exchanged. John Fay of the Cincinnati Enquirer wrote today that Oswalt is too expensive for the Reds.
- The Cardinals are out and the Dodgers are making no progress, reports Rosenthal. The Phillies' front office is still divided about giving up prospects and taking on Oswalt's contract, though the players they'd send to the Astros are "pretty much agreed on." Earlier today, Joel Sherman of the New York Post wrote that the Cardinals remain in contact with the Astros for Oswalt.
- If Oswalt takes the mound Friday night against the Brewers, "the odds of him being traded are down to almost nothing" says Richard Justice of the Houston Chronicle. ESPN's Buster Olney tweets that the Astros are "working very, very hard" to find an acceptable Oswalt deal despite all the obstacles.
- The Phillies "remain top contenders" for Oswalt, writes MLB.com's Todd Zolecki. Zolecki's source thinks Oswalt's 2012 club option "is not the sticking point it has been made to be." On the other hand, ESPN's Jayson Stark feels that if the Phillies retain Jayson Werth as expected they won't have a way to clear 2010 payroll for Oswalt.

Odds & Ends: Rangers, DeJesus, Westbrook, Happ
There's still plenty of news in the baseball world outside of today's surprising deal. Let's dive in..
- Derek Czenczelewski and Gil Bransford of ESPN took a look back at the best and worst trades in Rangers history.
- Ben Davis will take one more shot at the big leagues, this time as a pitcher, writes Tyler Kepner of the New York Times.
- The Red Sox were serious about David DeJesus before his injury, a rival executive tells Jon Paul Morosi of FOX Sports.
- The Indians are drawing only mild interest in pitcher Jake Westbrook, tweets Ken Rosenthal of FOX Sports. Trade bonuses in his contract remain an obstacle, even though Cleveland would be willing to include cash in the deal, Rosenthal adds (via Twitter).
- Mets GM Omar Minaya declined to give his coaching staff a vote of confidence, writes Adam Rubin of ESPNNewYork.com. Hitting coach Howard Johnson appears to be the most vulnerable of the bunch.
- Phillies pitcher J.A. Happ has looked good as scouts have had an eye on him leading up to the deadline, writes Jim Salisbury of CSNPhilly.com. Happ would likely head to Houston in a deal for Roy Oswalt.
- Rangers GM Jon Daniels continues to say that the club will look internally for improvement, writes ESPN.com's Jeff Caplan.

Odds & Ends: Reds, Happ, Edmonds, Rangers, Tigers
Links for Sunday, as Jim Thome cranks his 576th career home run….
- Reds GM Walt Jocketty tells MLB.com's Mark Sheldon that he's actively talking to clubs, but nothing is imminent.
- MLB.com's Corey Brock offers his opinion (via Twitter) of how the Padres should prioritize their needs at the deadline: a starting pitcher and middle infield depth.
- CSN's Jim Salisbury tweets that the Astros, Rays, Giants, and Pirates all have scouts at today's Phillies game. Both J.A. Happ and Jayson Werth are appealing to other teams.
- Jim Edmonds implied that he's leaning toward retiring at season's end, writes Tom Haudricourt of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel.
- A close friend of Josh Byrnes tells Nick Cafardo of the Boston Globe that the former Diamondbacks GM has no shortage of job offers. Within the column, Cafardo also speculates on the availability of players such as Joakim Soria, Livan Hernandez, and Mike Gonzalez.
- Rangers president Nolan Ryan reiterated that a right-handed first baseman was at or near the top of the club's wish list, according to Richard Durrett of ESPNDallas.
- Jim Leyland tells Mark Snyder of the Detroit Free Press that Dave Dombrowski hasn't informed him of any trade targets during the last two weeks. Specifically, Leyland hasn't heard anything about Ted Lilly or Mike Lowell from the Tigers' GM.
- Referring to trade rumors or contract years as a "distraction" is overblown, according to MLB.com's Alyson Footer.
- Frank Fitzpatrick of the Philadelphia Inquirer has six tips for Ruben Amaro Jr. to keep in mind as the trade deadline approaches, while John Tomase of the Boston Herald would like to see Theo Epstein exercise restraint this week.

Phillies Exploring Oswalt, Werth Trades
The Phillies are exploring acquiring Roy Oswalt and moving Jayson Werth in a companion trade, reports ESPN's Jayson Stark. GM Ruben Amaro Jr. says nothing is close, but Ed Price of AOL FanHouse says the Oswalt talks are "heavy." Oswalt has yet to be presented with a deal for his approval. Stark says the Phils have also discussed Dan Haren, Jeremy Guthrie, and Ben Sheets as they leave no rock unturned. As for Werth, Stark believes the Rays "head the list of interested teams." The impending free agent would be moved to save money, stock the farm system, and open up a spot for Domonic Brown. Stark says the Red Sox, Giants, and Padres are also interested in Werth.
The Phillies recently optioned Kyle Kendrick to the minors and lost Jamie Moyer to an elbow strain, so they could use starting pitching depth. GM Ruben Amaro Jr. hinted today that the club could acquire a starter by Saturday. The Phils have already committed $135MM to next year's payroll, so adding an expensive arm like Haren or Oswalt would take some maneuvering.
One candidate to start Saturday, or perhaps be traded, is J.A. Happ. Stark says the Phillies have shopped the lefty, and the Astros scouted him on Tuesday.

7 story ideas for Jewish High Holy Days
In the coming days, Jews around the world will celebrate Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Here are seven story ideas for covering the High Holy Days.
In the coming days, Jews around the world will celebrate Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur. Here are seven story ideas for covering the High Holy Days.
The beginning of September is traditionally when sports — both professional and amateur — heat up. And with sports come stories, often with a faith or ethics angle — whether about the personal faith of players and coaches, the appropriateness of praying for a team win or even the morality of competition itself.
This summer has seen several landmarks for women in the clergy. First, the Anglican Church in England agreed to call women as bishops. And the Episcopal Church marked 40 years […]
With Arizona's execution of convicted murderer Joseph Rudolph Wood III on July 23, 2014, the question of the morality of the death penalty has again come to the fore.
As unaccompanied migrant children continue to stream across the U.S.-Mexican border in what's been called a humanitarian crisis, attention is being drawn again to the global issue of human trafficking. Analysts estimate that as many as 27 million people are trafficked globally each year, many falling prey as they try to escape the same kinds of desperate circumstances the migrant children face in their home countries. People of faith are working to combat trafficking and help its victims.

Dear Sandy:
This is the hardest love letter I have ever had to write, because it is a love letter to break up and the last one I will write to you, my love. I know it might be hard for you to believe, but I truly love you in the deepest and most sincere way, no matter what has happened or will happen. I love you without conditions, without expectations, without reservations, and with all my heart forever. Maybe that makes it all the more painful to write this message, but write it I must. Because I know that you have betrayed me, and I can never recover from the fact of your betrayal.
At first I simply refused to take any stock in the rumors that were floating around. We had been together for so long, and were such an obviously natural and beautiful couple, that when people started whispering about you having an affair I dismissed it quickly, without a second thought. You would never ever do such a thing, I said to myself and to others, and there was simply no way this could be happening. Then I was forced to listen to an old mutual friend of ours, who insisted that I had to consider the possibility that you were cheating on me – and I trusted this person implicitly.
Call it stalking, or call it being prudent and careful about my own self-preservation, but I followed you that one evening to a place on 5th street. You had told me you were not feeling well and that you were planning to go to bed early, in your own apartment. Being recently suspicious, but hoping for the best, I camped outside your door for awhile. Unfortunately, I couldn't believe my eyes when you emerged just at twilight, dressed in one of my favorite outfits, and walking briskly towards the local coffee shop.
I encountered even more disbelieve when I saw you greet a stranger to me, a tall, handsome guy, and kiss him on the cheek. As the two of you sat in a close and very romantic pose at a small table, I felt my heart sinking, and my world crumbling around me. It was clear that there were feelings between you, and the way you caressed his hand as it lay on the table was maddening. I saw the way you looked at him, and I found myself realizing that you had looked at me that same way, many, many times in the past. That's when I made my decision.
Our relationship is over, let that be clear. I know now that you have been unfaithful, and I can never forget the fact of your infidelity. I can forgive you, but that doesn't mean that I can forget the things that have happened, or that you should either. I realize that he gives you something that I can't, and it will never be the same between you and me. So, I am calling it quits, you are free, our affair is history. But please understand that I love you and will love you always, and I will never forget you, no matter who comes along or what happens in my life. I sincerely wish you only the best, for the rest of your life.
Yours Truly,

Xdebug provides all the basic debugging capabilities: breakpoints, stack traces, variable watches, and so on. It also makes special functions available to the executing program. For example, you can display the amount of memory a PHP application is using by calling Xdebug's xdebug_memory_usage() function. Finally, Xdebug can be configured to track an HTTP session. Appending an XDEBUG_SESSION_START parameter to the URL of an HTTP request will cause Xdebug to emit a cookie to the browser, thus enabling a single debug session to span multiple HTTP transactions.
Debugging SQL is different from debugging a procedural language. Testing the correctness of a query is often done simply by building and executing the query in ad hoc fashion -- that is, typing the query into an SQL management console and verifying the results. Many PHP IDEs provide database tools for this very reason. For example, the Database Development Toolkit in Eclipse (and Zend Studio) includes ad hoc query execution, as well as execution statistics. With the proper plug-in (dependent on the database engine), you can also display query plan information.

Janos Skorzeny, "The Night Stalker"
The show: Darren McGavin plays Carl Kolchak, a police detective, in this 1972 sci-fi series. Shot in a half-narrative, half-documentary style, the show follows Kolchak as he investigates a series of murders in the Las Vegas area only to find out that the killer is a vampire. The creators of "The X-Files" often credit this show as inspiration.
The vampire: Janos Skorzeny is a well-educated, refined gentleman who takes the vampire from scary to terrifying as he chooses his victims in much the same way Jack the Ripper did. He's cold, calculating, and he never leaves any evidence. Hands down, he is creepiest of the bunch. No thinly veiled romantic metaphors here.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
My sophmore daughter loves this school. She has health problems,and was falling behind because of make-up work at her assigned high school. (She has always been an A-B student.) Once she started at South Central, she was able to get A & Bs again, and finished the year early! She even got a B in a college level anatomy course!
I graduated way earlier then i would of at bismarck high because all the work is done at your own pace
Hello. I am writing not as a parent but as a former student. Because of this brilliant school I have gained not only knowledge but pride and confidence. Beyond making graduation possible, the teachers as South Central have helped me achieve excellent grades. Only with all the perfect components, the patience, the personalities, the intelligence, the combination of smiles in every classroom, am I able to be as successful as I am today. If there was a single change in staff while I was there, I don't know where I'd be today, for each and every one of them held the flashlight that lit my path. Thank you South Central High School.

A protein shake is quick and easy way to get protein to your muscles. If you drop a feel carb meals you need to do it drastically so its not a shock to your metabolism.
I don't know if that is possible naturally. He would have to prime his whole body to be able to do that.
Looking great.

3 Pro Skin Secrets for Your Sweat Sessions
Written on January 12, 2012 at 10:15 am , by Fitness Magazine
While you're focused on getting your body into top shape— or keeping it that way— it's easy to forget about your skin. Jasmina Aganovic, creator of the anti-aging skincare line Stages of Beauty, has some quick tips for keeping your skin in as good condition as your bod— before, during and after your workouts.
Your face could touch a mat (crawling with bacteria!) during crunches, yoga, Pilates, or push-ups, and bacteria can cause breakouts. Before working out, wipe down the surface with sanitizing wipe. You can also bring a clean towel to lay on top of the mat prior to your sweat session.
While working out, you want your skin to be able to breath to avoid clogged pores. Wearing makeup or cosmetic products that are heavy can cause complexion congestion: Specifically, avoid anything that contains occlusive silicone or petrochemicals, like petrolatum, mineral oil and propylene glycol.
There are three skincare essentials no gym bag should be without: makeup remover wipes or pads for pre-workout, cleanser and toner. If you have time, do a full facial cleanse to get rid of sweat and grime after you exercise. In a hurry, swipe a clarifying or balancing toner over your face to sweep away dirt and freshen your face.

What's The Craziest Beauty Trend You've Tried?
Written on January 11, 2012 at 12:14 pm , by Fitness Magazine
Black lipstick, crimped hair, false lashes, the Snooki "pouf": Most of us are guilty of taking beauty experimentation a little too far. We asked FITNESS staffers to spill the craziest trend or treatment they've tried:
"One of the DIY hair masks recommended in a beauty magazine that involved mashed banana and honey. The instructions didn't mention that you had to mash the banana into a liquid, and I ended up with small pieces of banana in my hair. I had to shower and rinse about five times before it all came out—surely stripping away any of the conditioning power the mask was supposed to have!" —Karla Walsh, editorial assistant
"I've tried it all (lash extensions, neon eyeliner, nail patterns, a four-handed massage– you name it!), but recently I've been obsessed with tinting my brows. Giving extra definition to your brows by temporarily darkening them really makes a difference and helps to frame your face. I go to the Boom Boom Brow Bar or the Benefit Cosmetics Boutique in NYC." — Eleanor Langston, beauty director
"A fish pedicure! My cousin's spa offered the pedicures where you dip your feet in a tank with tiny garra rufa fish. It was ticklish and weird at first, but after a few minutes you got used to feeling the light bites. I think I'll stick to regular pedicures, though." —Marianne Magno, associate web editor
"Putting toothpaste on a pimple overnight as you sleep, and it's supposed to disappear by morning! I have tried this and it actually worked. Unless it was just a fluke!" —Jenna Autuori-Dedić, fitness editor
"Bright, Jersey Shore-esque, press-on acrylic nails. They aren't something I'd typically wear, but they're fun for that week that they last." —Grace Murney, photo intern
"Back in middle school, during the time when funky makeup brands like Urban Decay and Hard Candy had just launched, I thought it was a good idea to wear almost-black lipstick. Every single day. Definitely not the most flattering look on a 13-year-old— or anyone!" —April Franzino, associate beauty editor

Tried-It Tuesday: A Sweet Treat For Your Skin
Written on January 10, 2012 at 10:16 am , by Fitness Magazine
I'm a sucker for anything sweet (who isn't?!), so when I heard about this DIY body scrub that promises to make your skin bright and healthy, I had to try it. The verdict: It works and smells amazing! Best of all, it's made of simple ingredients you're sure to have stashed in your kitchen:
½ cup of brown sugar
3 tbsp of olive oil
1 tbsp of honey
A few drops of water
Mix ingredients in a bowl, rub all over your skin in the shower, then rinse. Store in an airtight container for future use. Pretty sweet!

Favorite Find Friday: FixMySkin Healing Body Balm
Written on January 6, 2012 at 10:46 am , by April Franzino
Brutally cold temperatures and whipping winds in New York City this week have been seriously punishing for our skin. Since our chapped parts require more than a regular moisturizer, we pulled out the big gun: FixMySkin Healing Body Balm, with one percent hydrocortisone in a base of natural oils and butters to not just soothe, but actually repair tough skin issues like cracks, flakes, eczema and rashes. The twist-up tube resembles an oversized lip balm, perfect for stashing in your gym bag or purse to target stubborn spots like heels, cuticles and elbows. And, although we're partial to the Vanilla scent, it comes in an unscented version, too.
Tell us: Do you use an all-purpose balm? If so, what's your favorite?

Staffer Beauty Snoop: Beauty Intern Leah Cayson
Written on January 5, 2012 at 9:34 am , by Fitness Magazine
This week, new Beauty Intern Leah Cayson spills the details on her beauty style and can't-live-without-it product picks.
Describe your beauty style in three words or less: Feminine, classic and polished.
What are the three beauty products you can't live without? Neutrogena Makeup Remover Cleansing Towelettes, Benefit They're Real! Mascara and Clinique Long Last Glosswear SPF 15 in Bamboo Pink
What's your beauty routine in the morning? After showering, I cleanse my face with Clean & Clear Advantage 3-in-1 Exfoliating Cleanser and moisturize with Clean & Clear Dual Action Moisturizer. I comb my hair and apply L'Oréal Professionnel Serie Expert Force Vector Thermo Active Treatment. I love this product because it doesn't feel like I have anything in my hair and it protects my strands while I blow-dry. While I allow my hair to absorb that product and air-dry a little, I apply makeup. I constantly change up products, but always use my three "can't-live-without" products, above. After I apply my make-up, I blow dry my hair and I'm ready for the day!
At night? I take my makeup off with the Neutrogena wipes, above, then apply the same cleanser and moisturizer that I use in the morning.
Post-workout? I haven't mastered the post-workout glow. I usually look like I jumped in a pool when I'm finished working out, so I have to shower!
What beauty product or treatment instantly makes you feel good? My bi-weekly manicures and pedicures always make me feel great! I love playing with color and it just makes me feel good when my fingers and toes are bright and shiny.
What's the best beauty tip you've ever received (or thought of yourself)? I've always thought people are more attractive when they smile, so I love for my teeth to be pearly-white. I floss and brush my teeth twice a day and use whitening strips when I feel like my teeth aren't as gleaming as they could be.

6 Ways to Fight Dry Skin This Winter
Written on January 4, 2012 at 10:38 am , by Fitness Magazine
Since arriving in chilly, arid New York City from Mississippi a few weeks ago, I've been plagued by flaky, parched skin and chapped lips. So I grilled dermatologist Joshua Zeichner, M.D., Director of Cosmetic & Clinical Research at the Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York City, for his best tips on fighting climate-induced dryness:
- Thicken up your skincare routine by choosing a moisturizer that's one level heavier than what you normally use. If you usually go for a gel formula, try a lotion; if you normally use a lotion, try a cream; and if your go-to is a cream, try a balm, salve or oil.
- Even your ears need a little TLC in the winter, because they're often exposed to the elements: Apply the same product you use for your face on your ears as well.
- Don't neglect your lips! Your lips have fewer oil glands than other parts of your body, so they're highly susceptible to cracking and sun damage. Slather on a lip balm with SPF, Nivea A Kiss of Protection Lip Care SPF 30, every day.
- Using antibacterial gels and frequent hand-washing during flu season can cause dry skin. Help your hands by hydrating with a thick cream such as Crabtree & Evelyn Rosewater Ultra-Moisturising Hand Therapy after each wash. For severe dryness, cover your hands and feet with petroleum jelly followed by gloves or socks before bed to help skin heal overnight.
- Skip the soap: It can strip the body of oil and dehydrate skin. Try a moisturizing body wash like Neosporin Moisture Essentials Daily Body Wash that will gently cleanse dry skin.
- Super-hot showers feel great during the winter, but the heat can break down the skin's lipid barrier. Prevent damage by taking cool or lukewarm baths.

Spill the beans! Do you fall asleep with makeup on? Have you been biting your nails since sixth grade? Straighten your hair like you're ironing a shirt? With 2012 finally here, it's prime time for some beauty resolutions. We asked FITNESS staffers to share theirs:
- "I vow to ease up on the hot tools! I'm going to let my hair breathe at least once a week and not fry it with a blow-dryer or flatiron." —Colleen Moody, web editor
- "I'm going to stop pulling at my split ends, which makes them even worse!" —Eleanor Langston, beauty director
- "Seriously, I'm going to stop biting my nails! My two girlfriends and I are reinstating Manicure Mondays: No way am I going to ruin my mani after paying for it!" —Samantha Shelton, freelance editorial assistant
- "I vow to wear sunscreen everyday." —T.K. Brady, editorial intern
- "My beauty resolution is to do more creative things with my hair: I always air-dry it and leave it wavy. It's time to shake things up a bit— especially because it's my job!" —April Franzino, associate beauty editor
- "I vow to put cuticle oil on once a day!" —Juno DeMelo, nutrition editor
- "My beauty resolution is to moisturize my hands before they start to get overly dry. I'm forging a preemptive strike against painful cracked skin this year!" —Karla Walsh, editorial assistant
- "I vow to clean my makeup brushes on a weekly basis." —Lauren Cardarelli, editorial intern
- "My beauty resolution for 2012 is to get more sleep so that it gets rid of the bags under my eyes and makes me look and feel much more refreshed." —Marianne Magno, associate web editor

• $12
• Two Thumbs Way Up
• Lots of floral aromas, but also lots of red berry fruit and a leathery, cinnamon-like note. This unique berry/cinnamon quality follows in the flavor with plenty of small- to medium-sized bubbles. Tartly refreshing but with a decent amount of food-friendly body.
Among my various recommendations from last week's column, I mentioned sparkling wine as a unique and surprising wine choice for Thanksgiving dinner. Even if you don't go whole hog and offer up a variety of bubblies for turkey day, you should have at least a couple bottles on hand. If not for a fun alternative to still wines during the meal, then for a civilized and sincere way to welcome guests.
I'm partial to pink sparklers, which are typically quite food friendly. One should not confuse serious pink bubbly with Champale or Cold Duck, those cheap, sweet, coarsely effervescent libations from a bygone time. A decent pink sparkling wine (referred to as rosé, rosado or rosato depending on the country of origin) typically costs a few dollars more than its paler counterparts.
If you're buying, I'd love a glass of the Taittinger Rosé Comtes de Champagnes. It goes for about $200 to $400 a bottle depending upon the vintage. The merely pedestrian white Comtes de Champagne usually costs about a hundred bucks less.
Since you're not buying, I'll opt for the Freixenet Cordón Brut Rosado from Spain, a great choice for Thanksgiving and this week's Wine Pick.
(Wines are rated on a scale ranging up from thumbs down, one thumb mostly up, one thumb up, two thumbs up, two thumbs way up and Golden Thumb Award. Prices are suggested retail prices as provided by the winery, one of its agents, a local distributor or retailer.)

What is comedy traffic school?
Traffic school is an instructional program in driving and traffic safety that aims at enhancing your knowledge and skill level. Completion of a traffic school course, from one of the approved traffic schools, may keep a violation from showing on your driving record. This can prevent your insurance company from seeing the violation, and subsequently, raising your rates. There are several options for traffic school based on where you live. There are also virtual options, like online traffic by Improv Traffic School. Furthermore, the court may grant a request to attend a licensed traffic school if you have not attended for a previous violation within 18 months of your current violation. Additionally, those that have had a commercial driver's license or were driving a commercial vehicle when cited, are not eligible for traffic school. Many states, such as: Arizona, California, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Missouri, Michigan, Nevada, Texas, New York, New Jersey, Virginia; now offer several options for traffic school to be taken online! For those foregoing online instruction, an on-site traffic school provides a classroom setting for instruction and attendance is mandatory. On the other hand, a home study traffic school program offers an alternative for those who may not wish to attend traffic school in person. If you choose this option, it will still cover similar information. The home study option allows you to study at your own pace, although, both programs must be completed within a specified amount of time and require you to pass an exam.
NOTE: If you are eligible and decide not to attend traffic school, your automobile insurance may increase significantly. Also, if you fail to return your certificate of completion from traffic school, your case will be closed. The DMV will be notified of a conviction instead of a dismissal, and this will result in a violation point on your driving record, and likely increase your auto insurance.
Find Your States Traffic School Course
Traffic school is the term used for driving courses covering safe driving practices and general highway safety. In the U.S., traffic safety courses are provided as a service to moving violation offenders often as a part of pretrial programs. While most traffic schools are seen as boring, long, and laborious, several businesses offer courses with a comedic touch, which are known as "comedy traffic school." In comedy traffic courses the curriculum and instructors are significantly more entertaining, which would theoretically make the class more entertaining and effective.
When offenders receive a ticket or a moving violation, they can elect to take a driving course to decrease or completely negate the fine. At the same time, driving courses usually result in a significant reduction in the number points added to the driver's record. With direct correlation to an insured's insurance premium, the higher the number of points, the higher the insured's insurance premium will be.
In most cases, drivers can only elect traffic school a certain number of times relative to the date of the driving infraction. This safeguard prevents people from simply driving recklessly and disregarding the highway laws without having to suffer the consequences from repeated abandonment. At the same time, the driving course encourages students to implement the driving practices they learned in the course.
No matter where you are in the United States, traffic school has grown to take on a different meaning based on your geographic region. In any case, traffic school can be classified as a training course via internet, classroom curriculum, or online coursework providing some combination of the following:
- Dismissal of traffic violations
- Defensive driving techniques
- Decrease in driver's license points
- Safety driving techniques
- Improvement of driving skills
- Discounted insurance premium
- Aggressive driving techniques
Even though each driving school course objective may seem different, driving improvement courses generally have the following goals:
- Get rid of a driving infraction given by a law enforcement officer
- Dismiss the negative points on one's driving record from a moving violation
- Get educated on a respective state's safe driving techniques
- Learn to become a better driver through the driver improvement program
- Decrease the amount of one's insurance premium or to get a discount
Types of Course Administration
- The classroom method provides the most traditional, face-to-face, instructor led user experience. In this case, the student listens to a live instructor who covers the curriculum. One of the major advantages of this type of driver improvement course is that questions and concerns can be instantly answered.
- The classroom times are set and scheduled based on the perceived most convenient time.
- In this setting, the student sits and listens to the instructor as they cover the driving rules of the state as well as other safe driving techniques.
- The exam in the classroom driver course is given under the instruction of a notary or the instructor. Once the student passes the exam, they are given their certificate.
- After the student is given the certificate, he or she takes the documentation to their respective court to have their driving record corrected or tickets dismissed.
- The student initiates an account with the provider of the traffic school and pays for the class with a debit or credit card
- The student completes the driving school course online. In the curriculum, the student is educated on state laws and safe driving techniques through the following accessibility options:
- Listenable courses instructs through audio with a headphone option
- Multimedia courses provides visuals and animations
- For questions and online technical support, students are able to get help through phone or chat
- In most states, students are required to take a final exam as a condition of completion.
- After the student completes the class, he or she will receive either an unsuccessful or successful completion status. When the student completes the course successfully, the student will receive a course certificate. Some states send the certificate of completion directly to the Court/DMV, but other states mail it to the student's address. In this case, the student must take the certificate to the court to have applicable driving record points or tickets will be dismissed or removed.
- The user must purchase or rent the compact disc or DVD for instruction. On the other hand, the student can request a telecast.
- The student watches and listens to the driving rules of the state and various driving techniques discussed in the presentation.
- After the student completes the presentation material, he or she then takes the test in front of a notary to get their certificate.
- The student then takes the certificate to their respective court to have the points removed off of their driving record or to have the ticket dismissed.
The offering of driver improvement courses isn't confined to the United States. Multiple provinces and states in Canada, Europe, and Australia also provide some form of traffic school. However, the course is administered and taken on a much larger scale in the United States. In most cases, an organization must be certified by either a traffic safety body or the organization's respective state. The providers who offer these courses are usually certified by respective state road/traffic safety bodies, such as the DMV, DOT, DHSMV, etc.
Who Can Attend Traffic School?
Simply put, traffic school offers any driver over the age of 13 significant benefits. In addition to offering drivers insurance discounts and dismissing tickets, driving school specifically provides benefits for the following:
- Teenage and adult Drivers Ed or anyone else who doesn't have a driver's license.
- Fleet services for workers driving fleets of vehicles
- Senior citizen insurance discounts.

By AJC Editorial Board
Nowhere does the concept of public-private partnerships get more controversial or thornier than when it's applied to create a financing package for new sports stadiums.
The Atlanta Falcons organization says it's time to build a new arena, one that reflects the NFL's current fashion regarding amenities — things such as how many suite seats are located where, or even how much of a roof, if any, should cover the turf.
Read the rest of what the editorial board has to say, along with commentary by Richard J. McKay (president and CEO of the Falcons) and Patrick Rishe (director of consulting firm).
Then tell us what you think.

Here is the win-win! IF BLANK AND THE FALCONS WANT A NEW STADIUM BECAUSE THE DOME, ABOUT 20 YEARS OLD IS NOT MODERN ENOUGH OR DOES NOT MEET THE CURRENT TREND OF THE NFL, THEY CAN PAY FOR BUILDING THEIR OWN!!! Why are teams and cities so stupid that they think a stadium HAS TO BE IN THE DOWNTOWN OF ANY CITY??

Such BS I almost updated my phone because of this. Thought it was caused from the jailbreak. I'm even experiencing texts not going through or delaying up to 10 minutes before sending..
Pictures aren't sending for me and iMessage tends to stop working still! The system status page says everything is a-ok. Happening for anyone else too?
Everything is great here on my iPhone 5
iMessage service has been terrible for me this week in my jailbroke 5 and my stock 4s. Sure hope they get this all fixed soon.
My wife's phone had the same thing happening all day. Bummer.
Sometimes if you just toggle "airplane mode" off and back on it will resend the text that isn't going through. May be easier and faster than a respring/reboot sometimes
I can't tell if its apple or Verizon lately. Vzw service has been noticeably slow
Bet it's apple messing with it so that everyone updates and loses there jb lol
But i ill say i read somewhere on another site that it could be from the recent apple lawsuits with VPN and other stuff.
I am having problems with imessage and logging into the game center. I just turned imessage off cause i am not going to lose my jailbreak.

"The Walking Dead" creator, Robert Kirkman, spoke at Image Expo in San Francisco and went off a little on Marvel Comics. According to sciencefiction.com on Jan. 15, Kirkman claimed that he felt Marvel Comics was destroying the comic book industry.
While that seems harsh, Kirkman said that it came from him as a fan who loves Marvel Comics.
According to "The Walking Dead" creator, there are a lot of talented and good people in the company, but his problems are with upper management, who he calls short-sighted. He said this will have a negative effect on the comic book industry and the fanbase Marvel is catering to won't be around for 100 years.
Kirkman, who is one of the creative-owners of Image Comics, a company started by disgruntled writers and artists in 1992 to be a place where the people who created the comics could retain the rights to them. While it seemed a long-shot for success at the time, titles like "Spawn," "Witchblade" and "The Walking Dead" helped it become a huge success.
Kirkman used to write for Marvel Comics, penning stories for "Ultimate X-Men," "Marvel Zombies" and "Irredeemable Ant-Man," so he has insider knowledge of how the company works. He did say that he just wishes Marvel Comics was doing a better job.
The fourth season of Robert Kirkman's "The Walking Dead" returns to television in February on AMC.

About This Show
Among mid-19th-century American romancers (or writers of prose epics), only New Yorker James Fenimore Cooper was as successful as South Carolina author William Gilmore Simms. In those same years, Simms was the South's most influential editor of cultural journals. He also was the region's most prolific cultural journalist and poet, publishing an average of a book review and a poem per week for forty-five years.
As curator of the Simms Initiatives of the University of South Carolina Libraries, Dr. Todd Hagstette guides a project with the ambitious goals of producing a comprehensive bibliographic database and as well as a complete digital edition of the significant writings of Simms. He tells Dr. Edgar about the Initiative, and they talk about some of their favorite works by Simms.

Maine Yankee Power Plant Operation with High-Level Nuclear Waste, Question 1 (1987)
- In favor: 235,069
- Opposed: 162,902
The question on the ballot was, ""Do You Want to Let any Power Plant Like Maine Yankee Operate after July 4, 1988, if it Makes High Level Nuclear Waste?"
Measure 1 was put on the ballot through the citizen initiative process by a group who hoped that Maine's voters would decide to shut down the Maine Yankee, following two previous unsuccessful attempts at the ballot to shut down the Maine Yankee:
Their 1987 effort were triggered by the catastrophic accident in 1986 at the Chernobyl nuclear plant in Ukraine.
About the Maine Yankee
The Maine Yankee Nuclear Power Plant was a nuclear power plant built on Bailey Peninsula of Wiscasset, Maine, United States. It ran from 1972 until 1996, when it was shut for economic reasons. The Maine Yankee Atomic Power Company formed in 1966, when plans for a pressurized water reactor in Wiscasset, Maine were made. The four-year $231 million construction of the plant began in 1968 and ended in 1972 when commercial operation of the plant began. Originally, Maine Yankee Power Co. had a 40-year license to run the plant. Over its 25 years as Maine's sole operating nuclear power plant, the power station produced much of Maine's power. Maine Yankee's most productive year came in 1989 when it produced reached 6,900 gigawatt-hours of electricity. From 1972 through 1996 the 900 megawatt reactor produced about 119,000 gigawatt-hours of electricity.
Initial opposition to constructing the plant was led by Citizens for Safe Power, from 1967 through 1972; the group failed to stop construction but succeeded in persuading the Nuclear Regulatory Commission to impose stricter environmental standards and monitoring. During the 1980s, when nuclear opposition was provoked by the partial meltdown at Three Mile Island, leading to unsuccessful ballot initiatives in 1980 and 1982, and the 1987 measure as well.
Paul Mandabach of Winner & Mandabach Campaigns worked on behalf of the campaign to allow the continued operation of the Maine Yankee. According to a November 5, 1987 article in the Bangor Daily News, "The consultant behind the massive save-Maine Yankee drive, Paul Mandabach of Winner, Wagner & Associates, masterminded a similar nuclear-industry financed campaign last year in Oregon that defeated a referendum to close that state's Trojan reactor. Mandabach has been involved in nearly a half dozen shutdown elections."[1]

Even Oscar the Grouch, form Sesame Street would be appalled at the sanitary conditions in Gulu, Uganda. Trash burning is harmful to both the environment and to our health but with so many waste management problems many people are left with no other choice. The chemicals created and released by trash burning have been scientifically proven to increase your risk of many health problems such as, heart disease, asthma, emphysema, chronic headaches and even cancer. Kids are most vulnerable. Research has proven that kids absorb up to six times more pollution through their lungs than adults breathing the same air. In addition to this Children are more at risk than adults because their immune systems are still developing and may not protect them fully.

The 49ers used to have tactics that favored running plays instead of passing plays under the coaching of Jim Harbaugh but that trend is now facing a downfall. With Colin Kaepernick falling back and Frank Gore in the team, there have been certain adjustments in the strategy.
Spanning over the last two weeks, the team has faced the Indianapolis Colts and the Seattle Seahawks and the passing plays have outnumbered the running plays. It was the same story Versace the Green Bay Packers.
Against the Packers, it was necessary to shift to a strategy which favored passing over rushing because they were determined to stop any running attempt. The win over the Packers made the team study passing strategies more and adapt to them.
The 49ers managed to beat the Packers only because quarterback Colin Kaepernick was able to rise to the occasion and Vernon Davis and Anquan Boldin had a huge role in backing him up. The Packers made the mistake of having a backup cornerback starting and reserve safety.
Now the 49ers strategy is integrating passing more than the rushing tactics. Colin had a total of 28 passing attempt while Gore had only nine carries. It was a long shot for the quarterback to nail his targets against the strong Seahawks defense. When following a 5 point lead after the third quarter, the 49ers opted to stop running the ball altogether.
The 49ers are a tam who is an old school run favoring team. Their main strategies are based on running plays. The 49ers have proven that a passing strategy does have its success. Against the Colts, it was effective especially with Frank Gore. He summed 660 yards on a solo touchdown when the running play was completely halted.
Previously with Alex Smith as quarterback, the 49ers would rely on fast paced rushing attacks and would only start passing when there was no other option. Smith was always lauded as a very intelligent athlete who had an ability to predict the outcomes of plays and could make good attacks happen. This had stamped the 49ers identity as a running play team and Gore as their main runner.
To compare the two quarterbacks is no easy task. Although Smith is highly intelligent and talented, Kaepernick had his experience and brings a whole new set of gameplay to the team. His passing game has so far proven to have its pros but it is still too early to tell.
49ers' running game takes a step back
