CSN: Kelly, Eagles to meet again

January 12, 2013, 11:45 am


It seems as if Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly has emerged as one of the leading candidates to fill the Eagles? head coaching vacancy.

According to several reports, Kelly, who first met with the Eagles on Tuesday night, is meeting again with the Eagles this weekend. Kelly left the country after his initial sit-down with team brass, but ESPN is reporting that Kelly will be back in country Saturday to attend an event in New Haven, Conn.

The Eagles aren?t commenting on any interactions with college coaches. The search committee of owner Jeffrey Lurie, president Don Smolenski and general manager Howie Roseman had already met with Penn State coach Bill O?Brien and Oregon coach Chip Kelly -- each of which opted to return to their schools -- before meeting with Kelly, who is the only known candidate to have a second interview.

Kelly has even started soliciting advice from NFL circles about the jump from college to the professional ranks, a source told the Chicago Tribune.?

The trio is slated to meet tonight with Seahawks defensive coordinator Gus Bradley, according to a source (see story). Bradley is believed to be the top choice of the Eagles, who also plan to interview Bengals offensive coordinator Jay Gruden and Colts offensive coordinator Bruce Arians in the coming days.

Kelly, 51, first spoke to the Eagles one day after his Irish played in its first national championship game since 1988, an embarrassing 42-14 defeat to Alabama in the BCS title game. After the game, Kelly called coaching Notre Dame his dream job and said leaving the school was ?not an option.?

A report from Sports Illustrated said that Kelly, who is 28-11 in his three seasons at Notre Dame, would likely receive a raise and contract extension from the school but neither has yet to materialize.

Kelly has 22 years of coaching experience but has never coached above the college ranks. He spent 13 years at Grand Valley State, where he went 118-35-2 with no losing seasons, and three years at Central Michigan (19-16 record) before moving onto Cincinnati (34-6) and then Notre Dame.

Kelly has had just one losing season, a 4-7 year in his first season at Central Michigan, in 2004. The Eagles have not had a head coach with no NFL experience either coaching or as a player since Bert Bell in 1936.

Before setting out on his search to replace Andy Reid, who was fired after 14 seasons on Dec. 31, Lurie said his list of candidates was ?very defined? and later discussed the advances made by college coaches in their ability to be successful in the NFL.

?I?ve thought a little bit about it. It?s interesting,? Lurie said. ?I think right now the NFL tends to borrow more from college than the other way around. But I think it?s more about leadership. Some of these coaches in college are outstanding leaders and they just go from a younger roster [in college] to a slightly older roster.

?Still, the average age is 26, 27, 25 in the NFL. They?re dealing with 19- and 20-year-olds. It?s not that big of a difference. There is no question I?m not the only that thinks college coaches are well-trained and have experienced tremendous pressure and can handle it and are smart.

?On the other hand, that?s not to diminish that most of the successful coaches come from the coordinator ranks and are NFL coaches as well. Again, as I said in there, no stone unturned. We?ve got our target list. And it?s from all sides.?

Mass. couple's wedding day is also town's ZIP code

(AP) ? Couples often hold weddings on significant dates, but a Massachusetts couple has come up with a new way of remembering their ceremony.

Cheryl Bennett and Steven DeLong, longtime residents of Amesbury, are getting married Wednesday, the same date as the town's ZIP code of 01913.

Forty-five-year-old mechanic DeLong and 31-year-old medical receptionist Bennett will hold a short outdoor ceremony at the town gazebo with their children from previous marriages.

Bennett tells The Daily News of Newburyport (http://bit.ly/13ijO2d ) that she is fascinated by numbers and that the ZIP code wedding idea was hers.

Her favorite numbers are 11 and 22, and her husband-to-be's birthday is Nov. 22.

France chooses Africa intervention carefully

PARIS (AP) -- France has a history of intervention in Africa, where it was a colonial power for decades and still maintains several military sites and has hundreds of troops across the continent, including Senegal, Ivory Coast, Chad and Gabon.

MALI

- January 2013: French helicopter gunships and fighter jets struck at Islamist fighters in Mali at the request of Mali's president, after the rebels began seizing territory well to the south of the strongholds they had held for the previous nine months. It was the first military intervention under French President Francois Hollande.

-January 2011: Two French hostages were killed on the Niger-Mali border by their captors as French rescue forces closed in.

SOMALI

-January 2013: A French commando was killed and another missing after a failed raid to rescue an intelligence agent held hostage in Somalia for more than three years.

-April 2009: French commandos stormed a sailboat off the Somali coast to rescue hostages held by pirates. One hostage was killed and four were freed in the operation, which was part of an EU-led anti-piracy operation.

IVORY COAST

-April 2011: French tanks and helicopters backed Ivory Coast troops trying to oust Laurent Gbagbo, who refused to leave power after disputed elections. A French armored advance in Abidjan allowed troops for Alassane Ouattara to secure the city and take Gbagbo into custody.

-November 2004: French troops fought soldiers from Ivory Coast and French jets all but destroyed the West African country's air force after its warplanes from killed at least nine French peacekeepers and an American civilian.

LIBYA

-March 2011: France was a leading force in the NATO operation against Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi's forces in 2011. Then-President Nicolas Sarkozy sent French jets to target Gadhafi's forces after pressing for a no-fly zone.

CHAD

-April 2006: France provided intelligence to government forces of President Idriss Deby, who himself received military training in France. The intelligence allowed Deby to keep power against a rebel force that threatened to seize control of the nation rich in oil reserves.

Sony: Blu-rays "mastered in 4K"

Sony: Blu-rays "mastered in 4K"

Geschickter Marketing-Trick

Nach 3D ist nun 4K der neue Hype aus aller Hersteller Munde. Dass bei neuen Techniken auch neue Marketing-Strategien gefragt sind, ist dabei nur logisch. Sony geht dabei einen interessanten Weg und m?chte ab sofort ausgew?hlte Blu-rays gezielt als "Mastered in 4K" auf den Markt bringen. Was genau bedeutet das? Nun, es hei?t keinesfalls, dass die Inhalte dann in 4K enthalten sind. Vielmehr meint Sony damit, dass der 1080p-Encode auf der Blu-ray von einem 4K-Master gezogen wurde und in m?glichst hoher Bitrate auf der blauen Scheibe vorliegt.

Die ersten Filme unter dem neuen Banner "Mastered in 4K" sollen "The Amazing Spider-Man", "The Karate Kid" und "Die etwas anderen Cops" sein.
Im Grunde handelt es sich dabei allerdings wirklich nur um einen geschickten Marketing-Schachzug, der den 4K-Boom ausnutzt. Es gibt bereits jetzt etliche Blu-rays diverser Studios auf dem Markt, denen ein neues 4K-Master zugrunde lag. Eines der popul?rsten Beispiele w?re der restaurierte "Blade Runner" aus dem Hause Warner Bros. Sonys neue Reihe "Mastered in 4K" ?hnelt damit einem ?hnlichen Konzept, das der Konzern schon zu DVD-Zeiten anwandte. Damals brachte man bestimmte Titel auf Basis von HD-Mastern mit hohen Bitraten als "Superbit"-DVDs heraus.

Quandrantid meteor shower: The best time to catch it

Quadrantid meteor shower: With a? bright gibbous moon, the best time to view the Quandrantid meteor shower is between 2 a.m. and 7 a.m. EST, before the sun rises.

By Joe Rao,?Space.com / January 2, 2013

One of the best displays of "shooting stars" will peak overnight tonight and early Thursday morning (Jan. 3), but unfortunately will run into some stiff competition this year from a bright moon.?

The celestial fireworks display is the Quadrantid meteor shower (pronounced KWA-dran-tid), which kicks off the annual meteor shower schedule every January. To paraphrase Forrest Gump: The Quadrantids are like opening up a box of chocolates; you never know what you're going to get!? Indeed, the "Quads" are notoriously unpredictable.

This year, the meteor shower is peaking while the moon is in its bright gibbous phase, just days after the recent full moon on Dec. 28, which may interfere with the cosmic light show.

The Quadrantids provides one of the most intense annual meteor showers, with a brief, sharp maximum lasting but a few hours. Adolphe Quetelet of Brussels Observatory discovered the shower in the 1830's, and shortly afterward it was noted by several other astronomers in Europeand America. [Amazing Quadrantid Meteor Shower Photo of 2012]

The meteors are named after the obsolete constellation Quadrans Muralis the Mural or Wall Quadrant (an astronomical instrument), depicted in some 19th-century star atlases roughly midway between the end of the Handle of the Big Dipper and the quadrilateral of stars marking the head of the constellation Draco. (The International Astronomical Union phased out Quadrans Muralis in 1922.)

NASA will provide a live webcast of the 2013 Quadrantid meteor shower each night this week through Friday (Jan. 4). You can follow the meteor shower on SPACE.com here courtesy of the NASA feed.

Difficult to see

Unfortunately, many factors combine to make the peak of this display difficult to observe on a regular basis:?

A brief peak period: The Quadrantids? meteor rates exceed half of their highest value for only about six hours (compared to two days for the Perseid meteor shower in August). This means that the stream of particles that produce this shower is a narrow one ? apparently originating from a small comet within the last 500 years.
