Miles wins national coaching award
Published: Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 3:00 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, December 7, 2011 at 3:23 p.m.
BATON ROUGE — LSU coach Les Miles won his first national coach of the year award on Wednesday.
Miles, whose No. 1 Tigers are the only undefeated team at 13-0 and will play No. 2 Alabama (11-1) for the BCS national championship on Jan. 9, won the Home Depot Coach of the Year award on Wednesday and will receive it during tonight's College Football Awards show on ESPN.
Miles won the BCS national title in 2007 with a 12-2 record, but he won no national coach of the year awards. His team reached perfection this season against the toughest schedule in the nation as it has defeated six teams currently ranked in the BCS — No. 2 Alabama, No. 5 Oregon, No. 6 Arkansas, No. 16 Georgia, No. 23 West Virginia and No. 25 Auburn.
The seven-year coach at LSU overcome obstacle upon obstacle before and during this season before winning the Southeastern Conference West and then the SEC overall by beating Georgia 42-10 on Saturday in the SEC Championship Game in Atlanta.
n Miles had to juggle his coaching staff just before August practices when newly hired offensive coordinator Steve Kragthorpe was diagnosed with Parkinson's disease.
n A week before the season opener against No. 3 Oregon in Arlington, Texas, Miles lost starting quarterback Jordan Jefferson to an arrest and indefinite suspension in the aftermath of a bar fight near the LSU campus in which many LSU players were on the scene and several were involved.
n Also a week before the season, Miles lost starting left guard Josh Dworaczyk — one of the Tigers' best offensive lineman — for the season to a knee injury. He also lost starting wide receiver Russell Shepard at this time to an indefinite suspension because Shepard tipped off an LSU teammate before that teammate's interview with an NCAA investigator.
n Throughout the season, seven LSU players in all would be suspended at various times, which was more than Miles suspended in his previous six seasons at LSU.
Yet, LSU proved to have enough depth to withstand all suspensions and injuries throughout the season. The offense turned in its best season since the 2007 national championship season and is currently No. 1 in the SEC in scoring with 38.5 points a game. Quarterback Jarrett Lee filled in for Jefferson until he was reinstated in game four and started the first eight games of the season.
Miles, who will complete a season undefeated or with less than two losses for the first time in his head coaching career, is up for several other national coach of the year awards. He was also named the SEC's top coach by his peers and the Associated Press.
Also on Wednesday, four LSU players were named to the CBSSports.com All-American team. Heisman Trophy finalist cornerback Tyrann Mathieu made the first team in two spots — defensive back and punt returner. Cornerback Morris Claiborne made the first team as a defensive back, and Brad Wing made it as the punter. Offensive guard Will Blackwell made the second team as an offensive lineman.
Claiborne was also named the SEC's top defensive player by the league's coaches.

Recent Florida Central East reviews
"We totally enjoyed our stay at Indian River Plantation. The unit was perfect for my husband and me. I really enjoyed morning coffee and evening cocktails on the porch overlooking the Indian River. The unit was fully stocked with enough towels, sheets and other essentials for our month's stay. Was clean and perfect for two people. The location is very nice too. Not far from food and shopping stores and was not as populated as other areas in Florida. Re-booked already for next Feb."Guest: Kathleen C.

"This was a beautiful, quiet location. It was right up to the canal. The private pool and hot tub were fantastic!! My family (4 adults and a toddler) we so happy with the house. The amenities were perfect for us, including the toddler bed! A few minutes down the road is a park with an amazing viewing area of manatees and dolphins. It was like our free own wildlife park. The only thing I would change is to have enough bath and beach towels for the max number of people in the house. But, that is so minor. The owners were very responsive and helpful. Loved this house!! The listing information was accurate, and the house was clean. Couldn't have asked for anything more!"Guest: Denise Date of Stay: May 2016 Review Submitted: May 15, 2016View listing
"If you are looking for a relaxing get away, if you are looking to wake up with the sound of the ocean outside your window, then this Condo is for you. This was our first trip to Vero Beach and not knowing where to stay my wife and I found Steve's condo on VRBO and could not have asked for anything better. Beginning with contacting the owner who was very kind to deal with and who made our stay an enjoyable two weeks. The codon was very comfortable and included everything that you would need during your stay and was within a few steps to the beach and the pool was very close to your room. You are surrounded by some fantastic restaurants if you wanted to eat out. I would highly recommend this Condo for your stay and can not say enough about Steve the owner, having traveled and rented a number of houses and condos over the years I must say that Steve without a doubt is the best owner I have ever dealt with...."Guest: Fred V.

""By having good memories on every place you just visit, you are building paradise in your own heart and your life." Just wanted to send you a quick note of thanks for sharing your piece of paradise with us. We had the pleasure of staying at your amazing Hacienda del Sol Condo Rental 327113 for seven days recently. It was truly a five star accommodation with everything we needed to experience a perfect, relaxing vacation. It's true when they say location, location, location! You can't get any closer to the ocean than this and it also has an very refreshing, inviting pool. We enjoyed many hours sitting on the balcony just enjoying the sun, ocean sounds and breezes. The owners put a lot of effort into providing all the comforts of home. Craig, the owner, was wonderful to work with. Anytime we e-mailed or texted him with questions, he would reply almost immediately. The response time was awesome and we found the same helpful, welcoming behavior dealing with the property manager who greeted us when we arrived. We also appreciated the tips and recommendations suggested for restaurants and sightseeing. What a beautiful, heavenly place to stay. It was extremely nice to get away from the cold, cloudy, snowy weather and stay in an oceanfront condo with a serene setting, which created the perfect environment for relaxation. There were views of the ocean from the living room, bedrooms and a balcony. It was so pleasant to fall asleep and wake up to the sounds of the ocean crashing on the beach and what astonishing sunrises and sunsets! It was especially nice to be located on a part of the beach where no vehicles are allowed to drive, which made the scene calm and peaceful. Good luck in the future and thanks for allowing us to make such wonderful memories. We will be back in New Smyrna Beach and we will definitely want to stay with you again! How about the first week of April, 2017? Please keep us in mind."Guest: Judy T. Date of Stay: April 2016 Review Submitted: April 17, 2016View listing

Recent reviews
2.7 /5 from 382 reviews
The hotel was fine for a one-night stay before moving on to Mt. Rushmore and other places.
I think the AC unit needed maintenance or repair.
This hotel was a great disappointment.The price was outrageous for what you received. There was no elevator. The room was smelly (mold?). The internet really did not work. The breakfast was a waste of time unless you only wanted coffee. After items ran out they were not replaced. Not enough seating in breakfast room people were standing. The halls had dirty worn carpet and chipped paint. The rooms were small and cramped. There were bugs in the room. After staying I read other reviews ,some from as far back as 2013 said the same thing. It is obvious the hotel management does not care about making any improvements. As long as the tourist are coming to Rapid City and hotel rooms are at a premium this dump will be continued to be booked. Hotel.com should not book this hotel. I could not wait to get out of this place.
It was adequate for what we used it for, a place to sleep to break up a drive. It was easy to get to from the interstate and a fast food restaurant was walking distance. The hotel itself looked rib down, but was decently clean.
Great time to rest and relax as a family. I really liked Bosco.

It is a wonderful place lost in forest. We had a lovely family moment. We hope come back as soon as possible.
Thank u.
I had a very enjoyable time staying in Theresa's house with my friends and my dog. Her home is very cozy and impeccably clean and conveniently located near Whiteface and Lake Placid. The kitchen is well-stocked with tools and some pantry items. Linens and extra pillows were also provided. I especially loved the basement area where we could store all our ski gears, boots and jackets before stepping into the house. This avoids bringing in dirt and mud into the house and dirtying the floors/carpet. Theresa was very communicative. Luckily, we didn't have any problems but if we did she would have been reachable. My only qualm is that we weren't provided with garbage bags (or I did not find it), so we just used plastic bags that we brought (not an issue at all). Thank you Theresa and we will be staying again if we make it back to Lake Placid.
We stayed over a holiday break and had a wonderful time relaxing in the home and exploring all the amazing landscapes in the area. Theresa's home is fully equipped with everything you might need and then some. Most importantly, the beds were extremely comfortable!
We had a fantastic time, such a beautiful location and a well equipped home. The house is perfectly located for visiting lake placid and the surrounding area. The house is welcoming, quiet and comfortable. We look forward to returning and enjoying all the areas we didn't see this time. Thanks for providing such a beautiful home for us to stay in.
This was a beautiful house, very clean and cozy. It offers many modern conveniences (like wi-fi and satellite TV) in a very quiet nook of the Adirondack park. The listing was spot-on, and the owner was extremely communicative and friendly.
The best thing about the house is its location. At night, we were far the bustle and noise of the more popular areas of the Adirondacks. During the day, we were a short car ride away from a ton of great best tourist attractions, like Whiteface Mountain, Ausable Chasm, and Lake Placid. This house is also near the trailheads for many of the best hikes in the popular High Peaks area, and there are obscure and equally beautiful hikes, like Jay Mountain, that are even closer.
I give this property my highest recommendation. It's the perfect balance of modern amenities and quiet solitude, and it is a great home base for exploring the numerous wonders of the northeastern Adirondacks.
We needed to make a reservation without much notice and Theresa was very accommodating and helpful. The home is very clean, well laid out, and in a quiet peaceful area. The town of Ausable Forks is close for gas and groceries and Lake Placid and Keene/Keene Valley can be driven to in under 30 minutes. The kitchen is well equipped and the outdoor gas grill was nice. Clark Moutain is a little mountain 5 minutes drive away and is certainly worth the effort for some unique views of Whiteface Mountain. The Jay covered bridge and swimming holes are less than 10 minutes away and are always fun. We stayed during some unusually hot weather and the air conditioners were very much appreciated. We really enjoyed our stay and would certainly stay again.

Coffee was discovered over eight centuries ago by an Ethiopian sheep herder who noticed his sheep behaving oddly excited one day after having eaten bright red berries off a nearby shrub. After experiencing the energizing effects of these berries for himself, the sheep herder knew that he was on to something special that needed to be shared with urgency.
The legend goes that after revealing this revelation to a nearby monastery, the monks disregarded the beans as nothing more than the work of the devil and discarded them in the fire where they began to roast. It was only the alluring aroma of roasting coffee beans that persuaded the monks to revisit the beans. After brewing these great smelling beans into a warm beverage, the monks realized what a powerful drink they had created.
What started as an innocent discovery has led to one of the world's greatest revolutions in beverages. Nowadays, coffee is the one of the world's most frequently consumed beverages. With so many delicious variations in brewing styles and flavors, it's no surprise that there's a perfect coffee for everyone.
No matter your brewing preference, brewing delicious coffee begins with acquiring quality coffee beans from around the world. This collection of coffee beans and grounds offers you a wide selection of roasts from across the globe so you can indulge your senses in the robust, full-bodied flavors of Ethiopia, Mexico, Guatemala, Sumatra, and more without ever leaving your kitchen. You'll feel like your kitchen has been transformed into the coffee shop of your dreams.

Everyone deals with the pressures of making big decisions differently. Some make pro and con lists, while others seek advice from anyone who will offer it. Some revel in drawing out a choice until the last minute, others still want to make a decision quickly so they no longer have to worry about it.
But whatever timeframe many of today's top recruits have - whether they made a verbal commitment during their junior year or will wait until November's early signing period to make their choice - they all agree that the decision on where to spend their college years comes from one thing: a gut feeling.
"It's mostly how things come and what feels right," said 2009 recruit Cokie Reed. "Choosing your school is one of the most important decisions that you'll make in your life. It's a process and you've just got to go through and make sure that you're sure that you want to go there."
Reed is among 18 members of the ESPN HoopGurlz 100's top 25 who have yet to decide on their future destinations, and although she has a top five, the 6-foot-4 post from Waco, Texas, intends to take the time she needs to pick one.
"I think when I decide it will give me a peace of mind to know that this is where I want to be," Reed said. "When I wake up one day say that this is where I want to go, then that's when it will happen."
Reed's sentiment was echoed by other top players who haven't committed, as well as players who committed before the summer even began, such as top-ranked Brittney Griner and USC-bound Christina Marinacci.
"It just felt right," said Griner, who has verbally committed to Baylor. "My dad didn't even know I was going to commit that day."
Griner, who already grabs attention just for her 6-8 height and impressive abilities that include dunking, added to her unique resume when she gave her verbal to Baylor in June 2007, at the end of her sophomore year.
"I wanted to get it done, that way I could put all my focus onto working on my grades and not stressing over which college am I going to choose, basically just take some of the pressure off me," she said.
More than anything, the pressure felt among top prospects often comes from friends, the media or the college coaches doing the recruiting.
When Christina Marinacci started her unofficial visits after high schools season ended, she hoped to find her school before summer ball kicked into full gear.
"I kind of wanted to (commit early) so I'd have my school picked out," Marinacci said. "They'll tell me what I need to work on for them and it kind of narrows down what I need to work on, even though I need to work on a lot of things."
The forward from Santa Ana, Calif., took her list – armed with the Pacific 10 Conference's four California schools and Arizona State - and started on her visits. After traveling to Tempe, Ariz., and then to UCLA's campus, she went across town to USC.
"It just was a perfect fit," she said. "I love the coaches and I love the atmosphere, just the tradition of the campus that goes on. I really like the coach's style of play."
But one other factor played into her springtime decision: Marinacci knew they had offered another player a scholarship and thought that the girl who committed first would get it.
"I think that added a little bit of pressure," Marinacci said. "But I think, in the end, I still would have chosen USC.
"I'm glad I decided early, but if I wouldn't have known, and if there wasn't that other girl that was going for this scholarship, I probably would have waited it out."
Perhaps with words of wisdom from competitors, and those of her older sister, 2010 prospect Chiney Ogwumike will be well informed when it comes time to make her own college choice. Ogwumike has already experienced one round of recruiting as her sister, Nneka, will start at Stanford this fall.
"Every coach probably wants you to commit as soon as possible to know that their school is favored, so there's pressure, but my mother's a very strong woman and she liked to alleviate that pressure," Chiney Ogwumike said.
Ogwumike, a 6-3 post from Cypress, Texas, said her mother's value of patience is a big part of the sisters' individual recruiting experiences.
"She said to just wait until you believe that it's absolutely the thing you want," Ogwumike said. "We're not going to commit until we see all the schools so that you know this is the best choice for you."
A wise motherly reminder for those who have yet to decide on a college - whether that decision is due this year or next.

Spectrum is Green!
My previous adventures with my Sinclair ZX Spectrum 48K in Canada were not resounding successes. I couldn't get the display to work, and tapes wouldn't load well, so I'd been using Fuse while the hardware sulked in a cupboard.
I'd previously got a proper power supply (9 V DC, ≥ 1.4 A, centre negative) and bypassed the PAL UHF modulator to give composite video. No television, monitor or converter box that I had tried seemed to give a useful display.
Back in May, Walter Miraglia brought a tiny 7″ composite colour monitor to TPUG's Retrocomputing Night. He let me try it with the Spectrum, and it worked very well. Walter said it was an extension monitor for a car DVD player.
I dug around, and found that local surplus clearout store Tech Source Canada had the Philips 7″ portable DVD Player PD7016/37 for $60. This gives you two identical DVD players with composite input. I think my other one will be destined for a Raspberry Pi project somewhere.
To get these monitors running, you'll need:
- a 9–12 V DC power supply able to give ≥ 1 A. I use a regulated supply that gives 9.1 V open circuit and is rated at 2 A. Note that the power connector is slightly smaller than the common 2.1 mm barrel, so you may have to order this one, unless you can solder something up.
- A cable like this 3.5mm Stereo to Composite Video + Audio Cable (3 RCA). These are sometimes just called camcorder cables. They use a 3½ mm TRRS jack, and can also — if you don't mind not quite having the connectors in the right order — work with the composite/audio output of more recent Raspberry Pis. Tech Source had these for under $5.
Connect it up , and — success! Well, slightly qualified success. The screens do not have the greatest resolution, so pixels are slightly smeared together. The screens do have a decently fast refresh, and the whole look is just right. With its colour clash and dot crawl, nobody ever expected great video from the Speccy anyway.
Here are some screen shots taken with my phone, and a couple of pixel-sharp screenshots from Fuse to compare:
So I can now definitely view the screens. Huge thanks to Walter for tipping me off to these DVD players.
[Incidentally, the screens are designed for car use, so don't stand up properly unless you get creative with some supports. I laser-cut these out of 3 mm plywood:
Glue the little sticks on to the flat ends, and they'll fit into the slots in the back of the monitor. Here are the feet with the sticks fitted:
There are better-designed feet than these, but they work, mostly.]
I was still having game loading problems. Try as I might, I couldn't get anything to load reliably. Retrocomputing Stack Exchange came to the rescue, in the shape of mcleod_ideafix's very helpful answer. If your audio player is running from batteries and you can use a stereo cable, you can convert the normal mono loading audio into stereo with one channel inverted. This gives you effectively double the volume, and works quite well with my audio player, an old Edirol R-1*.
This audio will not load into an emulator, or work with a mono cable. Some audio players even render it as silence.
Here's a script to take monophonic loading data and convert it to this faux-differential stereo format using Sox:
#!/bin/bash # wav2differential.sh - convert mono game tape audio to 2× stereo # usage: wav2differential.sh infile.wav # (creates infile-differential.wav) # scruss - 2016-06-07 # method by 'mcleod_ideafix'; many thanks / greetz # — https://retrocomputing.stackexchange.com/a/774/439 base="${1%.wav}" sox -q --norm=-3 "$1" -b 16 "${base}-n.wav" sox -q "${base}-n.wav" "${base}-ni.wav" vol -1.0 sox -q --norm=-0.1 -M -c 1 "${base}-n.wav" -c 1 "${base}-ni.wav" -c 2 -b 8 "${base}-differential.wav" rm -f "${base}-n.wav" "${base}-ni.wav"
If you want to check your audio levels, sox can also create the 800 Hz header tone used by the Spectrum. Run the output of the command below through the script above, load it onto your audio player and fiddle with the volume until the border flickers steadily:
sox -n -b 8 -r 8000 800hz-header.wav synth 30 square 800
I was also looking for the games to load fairly quickly. Tapes used to take over three minutes to load, and while retrogaming all is about the experience, I haven't got time for that. Fuse has some utility programs which will convert a .Z80 game snapshot into an audio file that loads in about 1¼ minutes.
To convert the snapshot to a speed-load TZX tape image:
snap2tzx -o game.tzx -s 3 game.z80
To convert that virtual tape image into audio:
tape2wav -r 16000 game.tzx game.wav
You can then run that WAV file through the stereo/differential script I listed above. Have fun!
No idea which part of my brain this pattern crawled out of, but it's okay in ink

So the Coo~Coo Raspberry Pi Zero case does work with acrylic!
Laser cut template: coo-coo-rpi_zero-acryl.zip
Build notes: The "Coo~Coo" Raspberry Pi Zero Case
Something is Happening and I don't know what It is
Neglected Hemisphere
The "Coo~Coo" Raspberry Pi Zero Case
I'd tried making several Raspberry Pi Zero enclosures, but none of them quite worked. My needs are pretty simple, but I do need to be able to fit a full 40 pin strain-relieved (possibly keyed) header into the device while keeping questing fingers and dropped conductors off the circuit board.
So working from a (scaled) version of the Raspberry Pi Zero Mechanical Drawing, I made a case that meets some very basic requirements:
- Conserves material: The Coo~Coo uses just under 80 × 80 mm of 3 mm ply or acrylic, plus four nylon machine screws, nuts and washers.
- Takes a full-sized GPIO header with a little headroom.
- Provides edge protection for the µSD and connectors.
- Has only a single cut layer, with no time-wasting engraved rasters.
- Needs only simple tools to make: really only needs diagonal cutters to snip off half of the nylon screw heads. Needle-nose pliers might help too, as there are some fiddly small parts.
- Free as in CC0. Yup, since this is derived from the Raspberry Pi Foundation's copyrighted drawing, my modifications didn't really add anything of value. Thus I waive all copyright and related or neighbouring rights on my additions:
To the extent possible under law, Stewart C. Russell has waived all copyright and related or neighbouring rights to the "Coo~Coo" Raspberry Pi Zero Case. This work is published from: Canada.
Why the odd "Coo~Coo" name? Well, look at the pattern of spacer washers and half-spacer washers:
To save material, I arranged these washers inside the GPIO cutout. I realised that I could spell COO~COO. It's even clearer on the cutting document:
Update: here's a revised path that cut well with acrylic and probably will work slightly better on plywood, too: coo-coo-rpi_zero-acryl.zip
(If you do use acrylic, let me introduce you to one of the marvels of backing-paper removal: d-limonene. This fruity solvent — present in products like Goo Gone — causes backing paper to slough off with only a few minutes' soaking.

The cutting path in the PDF could use a little clean up if you want to try this design in acrylic. The base of the design has been flipped so that any laser flare will be hidden inside the case.
You'll need four M2.5 or M3 nylon screws of 20 mm length, plus 8 washers and 4 nuts. M3 screws of this length are easier to get, but the mounting holes in the Raspberry Pi Zero are only 2¾ mm in diameter. You can thin the M3 screws down slightly by lightly twisting them inside a piece of folded fine sandpaper. You'll still have to push them through the Raspberry Pi Zero circuit board with a little force, though.
Cutting & Assembly Instructions
- If you have it, place some fine wire mesh or sacrificial heavy card-stock between the laser cutter honeycomb bed and the plywood. The spacer washers are just the right size to fall through the cutter bed and be lost inside the discard hopper.
- Cut the piece as normal.
- Remove the work from the laser cutter. Masking tape applied over the washers will stop them falling out.
- Take the top piece, and thread the other two screws through the holes by the HDMI and PWR labels.
(It may be easier to do these one at a time)
- Place two of the full spacer washers over each screw.
- Push the screws through the Raspberry Pi Zero board. M2.5 screws won't need any force, but M3 will need some coaxing, possibly even cajoling.
- Place a nylon washer on each of the two screws under the Raspberry Pi Zero board.
- Take the base and flip it horizontally so the screw holes match the top.
- Very loosely attach the nuts to each of the screws.
(You'll need the slack to fit the top two screws and their C-shaped spacers)
- Feed the top two screws through the half-holes by the GPIO cutout in the case and the Raspberry Pi Zero board. Again, coaxing and/or cajoling may be required if you used M3 ones.
- Put nylon washers over the screws between the Raspberry Pi Zero board and the base.
- Very loosely attach the nuts to the top two screws.
- (This is the fiddly bit) Stack two of the half spacers and put them on each screw. You need to get the screws tight enough to just grip the spacers against the case, but not too much or you won't be able to align them to let the GPIO connector fit in the gap. Tightening the screws at the HDMI and PWR ports can help with this, too.
- Nip off half of the heads from two of the nylon screws. This will allow the GPIO connector to fit easily.
- Tighten all the screws (finger tight is fine) and make sure the trimmed heads align with the edge of the GPIO cutout.
The new Raspberry Pi Zero with camera connector should also fit, but I don't have one to test it.

San Francisco 49ers head coach Jim Harbaugh didn't need to raise the expectations for quarterback Colin Kaepernick in a recent meeting with local reporters. The stakes have been raised for Kaepernick ever since he lofted an ill-fated pass in the final seconds of last year's NFC Championship Game defeat, a game-deciding toss that Seattle Seahawks cornerback Richard Sherman tipped into the hands of linebacker Malcolm Smith. That interception both ended the 49ers' hopes of returning to the Super Bowl and reminded us that Kaepernick isn't Superman just yet.
If he really is destined to reach elite status in this league, this is the year when he needs to take a giant leap forward.
Harbaugh set the stage for such expectations by recently saying that this would be Kaepernick's breakout season. It actually seemed like an odd statement, because Kaepernick broke out in his second year -- when he replaced former starter Alex Smith midway through the 2012 season and led San Francisco to Super Bowl XLVII -- but it's easy to see Harbaugh's motive in retrospect. A team that already had two proven wide receivers in Michael Crabtree and Anquan Boldin has added two more veteran targets this offseason (Brandon Lloyd and Stevie Johnson) and drafted another wideout in fourth-round pick Bruce Ellington. Add in Pro Bowl tight end Vernon Davis, and Kaepernick has never been blessed with a better supporting cast.
The 26-year-old Kaepernick basically is at the point in his career when he should be able to carry the 49ers whenever necessary. He never had to do that in 2012. Last season, he proved incapable of doing it without Crabtree, who suffered an Achilles injury in organized team activities, and the 49ers started slowly. At a time when it appeared likely that the 49ers would lean on their rising star quarterback, Harbaugh reverted to a more conservative, run-first approach that saved the season and raised real questions about Kaepernick's growth.
The fact that Kaepernick rebounded in the second half and played well in the postseason helped erase some of those concerns. (In his defense, he was playing with an injury-riddled receiving corps in the first half of the season.)
But he hasn't taken his career to a level where he is above scrutiny. This is a quarterback who reportedly is looking to make around $18 million-20 million per season in his next contract. If he's going to reap such jaw-dropping rewards, he can't expect people to dismiss his shortcomings.
One reason this season is so critical for Kaepernick is that the 49ers now need him like never before.
First, the vaunted defense that has been the backbone of this franchise for the past three years has significant concerns. Pro Bowl outside linebacker Aldon Smith could be facing a lengthy suspension, Pro Bowl safety Donte Whitner signed with Cleveland earlier this offseason and Pro Bowl inside linebacker Navarro Bowman won't be available until the second half of this season after tearing the ACL in his left knee in that NFC title game. That's a lot of weapons to take away from a unit that consistently has ranked among the NFL's best since Harbaugh's arrival in 2011.
This means San Francisco won't always have the luxury of playing for field position, relying on critical takeaways and riding the aging legs of running back Frank Gore. The 49ers will need more big plays from Kaepernick, who has done the bulk of his most memorable damage with his feet. We all remember the way he mystified the Green Bay Packers with 181 rushing yards in a playoff win two years ago and the moves he put on Seahawks defenders in that NFC title game (11 carries for 130 yards). Those were the moments when it was understandable to see why some NFL decision-makers think he has the highest ceiling of any young quarterback in the game.
The problem is that Kaepernick hasn't been as consistent with his arm. The throw that Smith intercepted in Seattle was the result of a quarterback believing too much in his arm and challenging a Pro Bowl cornerback who has picked off 16 passes in the past two years. Kaepernick also has to improve his ability to go through his progressions and involve other receivers. He was a different player when Crabtree returned in the second half of last season, largely because Kaepernick clearly trusts Crabtree more than any other receiver on the roster.
That isn't to say the fourth-year quarterback won't blossom. The 49ers have too many weapons, and he has too much talent to not make a run at being an elite quarterback. But it is fair to say that this year is huge because the 49ers are no longer the hunted. The minute Seattle won last year's Super Bowl -- with its own young star quarterback, Russell Wilson, helping to lead the way -- they sent a serious message to their NFC West rivals. In short, the 49ers need an even stronger sense of urgency if they want to play for Lombardi trophies in the near future.
That may partly explain why Harbaugh felt the need to hype Kaepernick so early in the offseason. Until this week, most of the attention on Kaepernick had hovered around an incident in Miami that police investigated after a woman claimed she had partied with him, 49ers wide receiver Quinton Patton and Seahawks wideout Ricardo Lockette before waking up naked in a bed and going to a local hospital. Kaepernick has maintained his innocence of any wrongdoing, and no charges have been filed against him or the two other men. Still, it's the last thing he needed to be dealing with at this stage of his career.
Today, the narrative is back to what Kaepernick can do when his growth matches his insane talent. Harbaugh went so far as to recall "The Six Million Dollar Man," the 1970s television show, saying Kaepernick looks "bionic." If that is indeed the case, it would be nice to see the 49ers use him as though he's blessed with powers that defy imagination. Kaepernick started 16 games last season but threw for more than 200 yards just six times.
That is a worrisome number, because it speaks to what the 49ers had to do to win games last season. It was all about managing the contests and allowing Kaepernick to play within himself.
From the looks of things, the 49ers won't have nearly as many opportunities to play it so close to the vest this fall. This time, it will be about what their quarterback can do ... and whether he really is ready to take his game to a level his team sorely needs it to reach.

Look at chart. P&F has $41 target.http://stockcharts.com/charts/gallery.html?pbr
Sorry I did not mention South Korea and Taiwan and afcourse Japan which I already mentioned.
$41 is so easy to achieve that I am not even thinking about it.If you look at the cause and results you will conclude like I have done that by December'2009 it will be way way higher than $41. For one, your country will have positive GNP during the third quarter and probably OPEC will decrease production and increase price and india with a 6% growth and china with a 10% (both in whole numbers) and we are beginning to do o.k. too now.Don't forget the other economic super powers like Brazil, Canada, Russia, France, Britain, Italy, Eastern Europe etc. etc. etc.By year end I see PBR at $80
