Call sack average on the year a wash, then. We'll focus on the fumbles, which are more important, anyways.
I agree about the fumbles; they're a problem that needs to be fixed, and Wilson definitely fumbles less. Kaepernick is doing what every single QB in history, including Wilson does in their first few games, and that's either fumbling or throwing picks. You're straight up bending statistics to fit your agenda and being dishonest about it though. My point from the beginning is they're both great qb's with bright futures, and Wilson is not on a whole different tier that Kaepernick might never get to like you've been saying.
Couldn't have said it better. Its like they think Wilson is Montana and Kaep is just a fad. Another poster talkes about Wilsons intangibles (which I agree he has) as if Kaep has none. The dude doesn't get nervous. Ever. He destroyed the mighty Chicago Bear D in his first career start. He played very well in his very first road game in the freakin Superdome. He went to Foxborough and calmly threw 4 TDs in December where no visiting team had won since 2002 and where no QB not named Brady or Manning has ever thrown 4 TDs.
He has a QB rating over 100 through his first 5 starts.
Its like people on here give it up for his physical talents and assume he doesn't have the rest. The kid scored in the high 30 on the Wonderlick. He is a model citizen. He is deeply religious (and I am not, but I respect his beliefs). People rip him for his Tats (nobody I have seen on this board), but they are all verses from the bible. The guy works his a$$ off non-stop. He went to college at 175 lbs and is now pushing 235 lbs. After practice, he straps weights to his chest and back and does windsprints. He 's incredibly respectful of the game and other players and just tries to soak up everything he can.
I read one national writer call him Cam Newton without the attitude.
I'm not saying all this because I expect everyone to become Kaepernick fans or because I expect you to think he's the second coming. I say it because your assumptions are way off-base (and I know it ain't all of you).
For years, the NFC West has been ridiculed as the NFC Least. That ain't the deal anymore. Sam Bradford is now probably the 3rde best QB in the division....and it ain't close. (We as a division) for the most part completely obliterated the AFC East including going 3-1 vs the Pats.
Our 2 teams in particular are in for some titanic struggles in the future (starting Sunday Night) and I think some of you need to realize that the 49ers achilles heal (QB) isn't a weakness anymore.
Russell Wilson is having one hell of a rookie year. There is no question, but ya'll need to start realizing that he ain't the only young QB who is making a huge statement in the division.

By Jonathan Blum, Acting Principal Deputy Administrator and Director of the Center for Medicare
In this season of Open Enrollment, people with Medicare have the opportunity to choose the Medicare plan that best serves their unique health needs and provides them with the greatest value. In determining the value of a plan choice, you should look not only at premiums and cost-sharing but also at what benefits and quality of care that money will buy. This year, I am proud to say that while costs, by and large, have remained relatively stable, the benefits that people with Medicare will get for their premiums continues to grow.
For those choosing Original Medicare, the benefit package continues to grow stronger and provide greater value. For example, EVERYONE with Medicare has access to a variety of preventive services and screenings, most at no cost to them when furnished by qualified and participating health care professionals. This includes things like diabetes and cancer screenings, and a yearly "wellness" visit. During the first 9 months of this year, over 20 million people with Original Medicare received at least one preventive service at no cost.
Beneficiaries may also explore their options beyond Original Medicare, as virtually all people with Medicare have access to Medicare Advantage Plans in 2013, and many of these plans offer extra benefits beyond the comprehensive package offered by Original Medicare. Medicare Advantage Plans may offer vision, hearing, or dental coverage, or extend coverage while you travel. And most Medicare Advantage Plans also include prescription drug coverage.
Use this time to decide what benefits are most important in helping you meet your unique health care needs. Use the Medicare Plan Finder to look at all of the health and drug plan options in your area for what will provide you with the greatest value. If you still need help comparing, call 1 800 MEDICARE (1-800-633-4227). TTY users should call 1-877-486-2048.
Only you know what extra benefits and services are most important for you. Just know that no matter how you choose to get your Medicare benefits, you'll be getting more.
Stay up to date on the latest Medicare news and follow us on Twitter @Medicaregov.

Ever since I was a child, I was fascinated by both arts and technology. Throughout my life the two were like helixes tightly wound one around the other. I always wanted to marry the two, but did not know how, in part because through my rather conservative education I was continually discouraged to do so. It was not until I got into College that I discovered "accepted" ways of combining the two.
My greatest influence is my own family. Ever since I learned I was going to become a dad, my life took a dramatic turn and I never looked back. Even in the hardest of times, my family is what fuels my passion and gives me the energy to tackle even the toughest of challenges.
I would like to extend this question to what are the most important qualities of any student. I believe it is a sense of confidence, self-sufficiency, and the ability to self-reflect and question. I believe that is the key to higher education and, ultimately, life-long success.
Arts in this case serve as that "outside the box" kind of creativity, unaffected by pre-existing laws and rules. Whomever can navigate such a nearly infinite space of possibilities will surely have the strength and persistence to tackle just about any obstacle.

Zazen tomorrow at Hill Street Center. Details are in the links to your left. Don't forget to bring a crisp new $5 bill with you. The rent I'm paying to host these things ain't gettin' paid in good vibes!
When I was at the Great Sky Sesshin last month, my friend Greg Fain, from the San Francisco Zen Center, and I got assigned a job during work period to plane off a 1/4 inch of the bottom of a door so it would shut easier. While the two of us were carrying the door down the hill to the workshop, Greg made a mocking show of it being really heavy, which it wasn't. Then he said, "Dogen said we should treat light things as if they're heavy!"
I'm not sure exactly where that quote comes from. But it means to treat everything like it has great value, no matter what it is. When you're carrying a bag of trash out to the dumpster you should treat it like it's full of precious antique china. Don't read the paper while you eat, it's insulting to your food. That attitude. This is Buddhist morality.
I'm working on my book now and I came across the following passage. I don't like quoting myself because that's insufferably pretentious. But since some of you have e-mailed and asked to see previews of the book, I'll offer it for what it's worth:
The Middle Way was not some kind of spiritual path designed to make us all holy with shiny pink haloes on our noggins. It was a way to live a life that wasn't a piece of shit. It was a way to find happiness and stability in an unhappy and unstable world. That's really all any of us are looking for, when it comes down to it. The stability of the Middle Way comes in our practice of zazen, which is the actual physical and mental practice of stability and happiness. A bit of zazen in the morning and a bit in the evening radiates throughout the rest of the day and night and makes everything better. That's all there is to it.
Morality is an important part of finding real happiness because we are all interconnected. I can't be happy if I make the people around me miserable under the mistaken impression that their misery is not intimately connected with mine. So if I don't want to be miserable I need to behave morally toward everyone I encounter. In Buddhism behaving morally doesn't mean following some fixed code of conduct. It means being careful.
But another aspect of Buddhist morality is that you have to do your part. You're not here just for yourself. You're here for everyone and everything you encounter. Your role is to do and say the things that need to be done and said from your unique perspective. God is too far removed from the universe to see himself clearly without splitting himself into a bazillion eyes and ears that watch over all aspects of himself. Whatever perspective you have is the most valuable thing in the universe. You need to be fully yourself. At the same time, you need to completely forget any idea you have about yourself. Or, if you can't forget it, at least ignore it, secure in the knowledge that whatever you think you are isn't what you really are.
Don't really know why but that seemed to resonate this evening.
See you all tomorrow!

Ars Technica is hiring again! Today I am pleased to announce an entirely new position here at Ars: a Senior Reviews Editor. Obviously we have been reviewing products for nearly 14 years, but we never tapped a single person and said: "You, go lock yourself in a room and don't emerge until you have a fully formed Voltronesque attack plan for reviews for the next 6 months!" And this is really disappointing, because all I've wanted for Natalis Invicti these past four years has been a Voltronesque attack plan for reviews.
The official job description is below, but here is the colloquial description. We are looking for someone with a demonstrated obsession with products and the reviewing thereof. We are looking for a natural-born leader, a self-starter, and someone who isn't afraid of building things that haven't been built before. We want somebody who sufferers from a desire to both write and edit, and who will frequently struggle with assigning products to other reviewers out of sheer jealousy. Last but not least, we are looking for someone who feels that the current "product reviews" world is lacking both utility and insight. We want someone who believes that they can help us find a better way. If you can't tell, we think this job is a "big deal."
And now for the official description...
Job description: Senior Reviews Editor
Reporting to the Editor-in-Chief, the Senior Reviews Editor will devise and implement a new product review strategy for Ars Technica. Overseeing a small but growing team of reviewers and coordinating with Section Editors, the Senior Reviews Editor will oversee, assign, edit, and even write consumer product reviews.
This is a new full-time staff position, to be located in San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, or New York City, affording an unparalleled opportunity to help steer a new initiative at Ars Technica. Chief product categories include smartphones, tablets, ultrabooks, e-book readers, laptops, home networking, and other categories where innovation happens. Pay will be commensurable with experience.
All candidates must have professional experience in the reviews space to be considered. The ideal candidate will have the following qualifications:
- Three years of professional experience in product reviews
- Solid reporting skills, either from a journalistic career or other research-oriented background
- Intimate knowledge of personal computers and facility with PC components
- Deep passion for the latest and greatest technology products
Interested candidates should be prepared to provide a résumé, three examples of recent work, and three sample feature story pitches appropriate for Ars Technica.
