Debussy: Trio for Violin, Cello and Piano in G
Stefan Jackiw, violin
Robert DeMaine, cello
Andrew Armstrong, piano
Andrew is Jimmy Ehnes favorite accompanist. This is a fine piece.
Kulesha: Quartet for Piano and Strings
Amy Schwartz Moretti, violin
Marcus Thompson, viola
Efe Baltacigil, cello
Orion Weiss, piano
The Seattle Chamber Music Society has a commissioning club, of which I was once a member, that commissions new pieces of music. Some were quite good, and some were dogs. You never know what youre going to get with new music. Gary Kulesha was hired to write this piece, and well see just how good it is.
Violist Marcus Thompson had appeared with the festival since the early days in the Eighties. He was missing in action for the past few years, but hes back.
Dvorak: Trio for Violin, Cello and Piano in F minor, Op. 65
James Ehnes, violin
Julie Albers, cello
Adam Neiman, piano
This is the big trio written under the influence of Brahms. Some like this piece, but Ive never been a fan.
Star Spangled Banner for all and Amazing Grace for the Colorado victims.

Rick Reilly's latest column lists a few items worth lifting from Yankee Stadium before it gets knocked down. So we decided to ask Leila Dunbar, Director of Collectibles at Sotheby's New York for the last nine years, an appraiser on Antiques Roadshow and an overseer of some of baseball memorabilia's most expensive sales, to give estimates* for some of The Stadium's most coveted ephemera. But beware (this means you Jeter), because Leila says that while a secure history and provenance increases value, "objects that are considered stolen certainly do not."
1. The Babe Ruth Monument
Price Range: $250,000 - $2,000,000
"Ruth is still the most collected athlete today. He is credited with putting baseball back on the 'National Pastime' pedestal after the 1919 Black Sox scandal. The Yanks won their first World Championship in 1923, guided by Babe, during the opening year of Yankee Stadium. Since 1949, his monument has watched over and served as inspiration to generations of Yankee Hall of Famers, past and future. Really, its value is priceless. The bat that Ruth used to hit the first home run ever at Yankee Stadium sold for $1.25 million and the contract selling Ruth from the Red Sox to Yankees sold for $996,000, so it's possible that Ruth's monument could go for somewhere between a year's salary of a middle-of-the-road manager (think Ron Gardenhire) and a young All-Star (think Josh Hamilton). I'm sure that whatever it brought, the Babe wouldn't think it would be enough."
2. The bronzed Lou Gehrig bat atop the flag pole in center field (Legend has it that Gherig's wife gave it to the stadium after he passed.
Price Range: $150,00 - $300,000
"Gehrig's game bats have routinely sold from $50,000-$175,000. If it's a true Gehrig gamer, it would probably sell for at least the high end, maybe double. Don Larsen's bronzed glove, hat and cleats from his 1956 World Series perfect game sold for $105,000."
3. The "I'd like to thank the good lord for making me a Yankee" Joe DiMaggio sign in the clubhouse.
Price Range: $5,000 - $25,000
"Not many people remember that in 1935, after Ruth retired, the Yankees finished in second place behind the World Champion Detroit Tigers. In 1936, at just 21, DiMaggio rejuvenated New York, leading the Bombers into their second dynasty, with an amazing four straight World Championships, nine in all. Many say he redefined the Yankees as a team of grace and grit. And Ruth never married the world's all-time No. 1 sex symbol! This sign could sell well into the four to five figure range."
4. Home plate
Price Range: $10,000 - $20,000
"When I was at Sotheby's, in 2004 we sold the original home plate, pre-1973 renovation, for $115,000. As this one has seen its own share of championships, historic moments and Billy Martin, I would place an auction estimate of $10,000-$20,000."
5. The "Lead, Follow, or get out of the way!" sign that sits up on Steinbrenner's desk.
Price Range: $3,000 - $20,000
"As an 18th century advocate of American freedom against the Brits and lived in Greenwich Village, Thomas Paine could be considered one of the earliest Yankees. It's no wonder, then, that George Steinbrenner would have adapted one of Paine's quotes to use as his own declaration of independence. The sign, if still intact, could easily bring several thousand dollars to either a Yankees fan to display or a Red Sox fan to destroy."
6. The Eddie Layton Hammond organ
Price Range: $5,000 - $15,000
"For 31 years, through his Hammond B-3, organist Eddie Layton led millions of Yankees fans in rounds of 'Charge' and 'You've Cotta Have Heart', rallying them through bad seasons (think Billy Martin and Horace Clark) and world championships (think Billy Martin and Marian Rivera). This past April at Sotheby's we sold Lay ton's 1978, 1996 and 1999 World Series Championship rings for $12,500, $20,000 and $28,000 respectively. While he didn't know baseball, fans adored his style. Assuming his original Hammond B-3 is still on premises (it was replaced with a new one in 2005) it could easily sell in the four-figure, maybe five-figure range to a Yankee fan who needs their regular shot of B-3."
7. The scale used in the locker room to weigh Yankees as far back as the 50's.
Price Range: $2,000 - $10,000
"If it were just a rusty scale, it would be worth scrap. But what is going to attract buyers is the thought of all those generations of Yankee physiques (think Mantle, Jackson and Winfield) hopping on and off in their towels. No one is going to be thinking of Stengel and Sparky Lyle. It could sell in the low to high-four figures or low five-figures."
8. A stadium seat
Price Range: $300 - $2,500
"When Yankee Stadium was renovated in the early 1970's you could buy the seats through JC Penney. In fact, my grandfather, who in the 1950's had clergy passes to the Polo Grounds, Ebbets Field and Yankee Stadium, bought a double seat for his porch. Over the years, those seats have been re-sold routinely at auction. Singles usually sell between $1,000-$1,500; doubles $1,500-$3,000; and triples $3000-$5000. This April at Sotheby's we sold a double seat recently taken from Yankee Stadium and signed by the 2006 team, as well as a Yankee engraved presentation shovel commemorating the ground breaking for the new stadium. These items had originally been donated to Joe Torre's "Safe At Home" Foundation. They sold at our auction for $8,750, halfway in the $7,000-$10,000 estimate. My guess is that these seats will sell anywhere between $300-$2500, depending on whether their singles, doubles or triples. With a little padding though, they could go for more."
9. A piece of that famous white façade
Price Range: $100 - $ 2,000
"Bunting isn't nearly as exotic as some of these other items, but it's easy to display. Pieces will probably sell in the hundreds to low thousands."
10. Dirt from the field
Price Range: $200 - $500
"If you are going to collect dirt, this is the place to get it. My opinion is that the batter's box dirt is the most valuable because that's the area that has seen the most players and most great moments. But, if you could computerize the sod and pick out, for example, the spot where Paul O'Neill who got the caught the ball for the last out in the 1996 World Series [Ed.'s Note: It was actually Charlie Hayes who got the last out in the 1996 World Series. Paul O'Neill caught the final out in David Wells perfect game in 1998.], then that piece of grass would probably be worth more than others. Several years ago at Sotheby's we sold pieces of the Boston Garden, including the piece where John Havlicek stole the ball in the 1965 Eastern Conference Finals. While other pieces sold for $64 and up, that particular chunk, signed by Hondo, brought in $42,000. I'd start with "nickel" bags of the dirt in the $200 range and work up from there."
* Note from Leila: "Auctions are notoriously fickle arenas for sale. It is difficult to predict on any given day, what two or more people are going to want —emotion is hard to quantify in cold hard cash. If someone wants something and they have the wherewithal and they have competition, that is when prices soar. Add in rarity and the importance of the player, team, moment and/or stadium increase it can be an explosive mix. Most of these items are one-of-a-kind and they all have a strong connection with Yankee fans. Therefore, it's nearly impossible to actually what any of these historic objects would bring at auction. These are only educated guesses based on past sales."

A Next-Generation Split Hook Prehensor with Enhanced Grasp Functionality

AbstractDESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Owing to certain intrinsic advantages, a surprisingly large number of upper-extremity amputees prefer simple cable operated prostheses and split hook terminal devices for many activities. For disadvantaged amputees in the United States and in developing countries, such systems often present the only viable restorative option. ADA Technologies and its supporting network of amputees and prosthetists believe a powerful way to help these users is to create a lightweight, robust, and corrosion resistant new split hook offering two refreshing functional improvements: 1) a means to readily adjust pinch force to match task need and to minimize the muscular energy expended effecting grasp; and 2) more visually appealing gripping contours that deliver stable, quality grasp without damaging the user's possessions. Consistent with ADA's mission to develop innovative new conventional prosthetic technologies that benefit users worldwide, the Primary Objective of this SBIR program is to create a versatile next-generation split hook terminal device that delights upper-extremity amputees in the United States and abroad and that can be manufactured for low cost to facilitate global distribution. In Phase I, functional grasping contours developed through previous research were combined with an innovative pinch force adjustment mechanism in a visually appealing design. Collaboration with outside fabricators ensured this design fully leverages materials and processes to minimize manufacturing cost. Field trials of the prototype device verify it delivers excellent grasp functionality, and evaluators enthusiastically praised its adjustable pinch force capability. Because ADA's split hook is lightweight and requires on average 53% less energy to operate than benchmark units, the company's expert advisors believe the device will significantly benefit transhumeral and at-risk amputees plagued by cumulative trauma injuries and trapezius muscle pathologies arising from prosthesis usage. Moreover, the device's low manufacturing cost, robustness, and immunity to galvanic corrosion make it ideal for disadvantaged amputees in developing countries, over 82% of whom survive by agrarian occupations. Phase II comprises establishing manufacturing infrastructure and validating the performance of production hardware under strenuous conditions representative of subsistence farming and ranching. Clinical testing with transhumeral amputee subjects will examine potential benefits of the device for these users. The company will also complete tasks required by law to launch its split hook as a commercial product into the worldwide marketplace. Phase III encompasses manufacturing and supplying the split hook to clinicians and humanitarian agencies in the United States and in developing countries. In keeping with the spirit and intent of the SBIR program, this approach maximally leverages NIH funding to directly benefit men and women who must cope daily with the limitations and consequences of upper-limb deficiencies. PUBLIC HEALTH RELEVANCE: In the United States and developing countries, affordable upper-extremity prosthetic components are much needed as escalating costs and increasing technological sophistication have for many amputees placed most existing products out of reach. The split hook technology described here incorporates key functional innovations while leveraging new materials and manufacturing processes to benefit amputees who prefer conventional prostheses and those for whom few or no other options exist. The device is designed to delight users, improving their quality of life by helping them become or remain productive members of society through renewed self-sufficiency, sense of purpose, and personal dignity.

Lady Knights put away Lady Bearcats
Published: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 11:24 p.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, January 13, 2010 at 11:24 p.m.
After falling behind early in Wednesday night's home game against Hendersonville, North Henderson's Lady Knights turned to their defense, namely Jessica Hartley, who ended the night with 12 blocks.
She turned those blocks into long outlet passes to create easy fast-break buckets as North pulled away down the stretch to win 49-41.
"That was the key to the game, our strong outlet passes. We've been working on that a lot in practice," Lady Knight coach Kevin Rhodes said.
North had four in double figures: Jodi Edwards with 13, Hartley with 13, Ashley Brown with 11 and Meredith Israel with 10.
The Lady Bearcats fall to 3-9 and will travel to Polk County on Friday. North improves to 8-4 and has an Appalachian Athletic Conference showdown at Smoky Mountain on Friday.
"At a 45-second stretch at the end of the first period, we pulled away. Then, with about 30 seconds left in the second period, they fought back. It was a pretty close game," HHS coach Mike Norman said.
After leading 14-9 at the end of the first, his Lady Bearcats hit just 20 percent (2-of-10) in the second period, allowing North to take a 24-21 lead after an Edwards' fast-break layup.
With just 20 seconds left in the half, Brooks Walz, who led all scorers with 21 points, knocked down a 3 to tie it at 24 at halftime.
Hendersonville's shooting woes continued in the third as it went just 2-for-16 from the field.
"There was a stretch there where they blocked our shot and got easy layups. It kind of just snowballed from there," Norman said.
Still, North held only a slim four-point lead at 33-29 heading into the fourth. Briana Denton found Walz in the lane for a short jumper to cut it to two, but North answered with a quick 6-0 run, including two fast-break buckets that consisted of a Hartley block and long outlet pass to Edwards.
With 2:14 to go, Walz hit back-to-back jumpers that got the Lady Bearcats within four at 41-37.
"They made it interesting in the end. They played a great game, and it was too tight for us," Rhodes said.
The Lady Knights went on an 8-2 run to close things out. Walz drove the length of the court on the final play as the North defense backed off.
Dominique Thompson led HHS with 11 rebounds, and Aaliyah Waddel, who suffered a busted lip in the first half, finished with four steals.
North's Brown had nine rebounds, and Hartley and Catie Byrd also pulled down seven rebounds apiece.
HHS (41) — Ward 2, Walz 21, Sheiry 6, Kraus 1, Aubrey 4, Thompson 5, Pryor 2.
NORTH (49) — Edwards 13, Brown 11, Hartley 13, Byrd 2, Israel 10.
JV game: North won.

Pushing to renew act makes no sense
Published: Wednesday, February 1, 2006 at 4:30 a.m.
Last Modified: Wednesday, February 1, 2006 at 12:00 a.m.
To The Editor: I am amused by our president's calling for the urgent renewal of the Patriot Act, while at the same time telling us he is not bound by the law when it comes to protecting the nation. He has said he is not bound by the recent anti-torture legislation, nor by FISA, the Foreign Intelligence Security Act, so why in the world would he need the so-called "Patriot" Act?

24 reviews | 4.3 out of 5
This is by far the best road bike i have ever ridden for $250. I have owned the infamous GMC denali bike, and this schwinn blows it out of the water. I swear this bicycle feels like its under 20 lbs. Its SO light weight next to the other road bikes walmart carries. The shifters shift fine after adjustment. You WILL have to adjust the high and low screws before you hop on for a long ride. The back brake came PERFECTLY adjusted, the front break just needed a squeeze with a tightening of cable tension and its good. If you want a perfectly adjusted derailleur you may need to take it to a shop, which im debating to do or not. I'm 5'11, 200+ pounds and it fits my legs fine with proper raising of the saddle. If 6 you're any taller than 6 feet, you may feel slightly uncomfortable. I like these style shifters VS the twisty shifters on the GMC denali. I actually Love the saddle, it feels perfectly padded without going overboard. The front wheel is a quick release, which is very convient for transporting in my car. This bike comes with pedal cages, reflectors, but not a water bottle cage. You can order a schwinn water bottle+ cage and it will fit perfectly. Its a sharp looking bike. VERY impressed with it, especially how light it is for being under $300. If you're around 6 feet tall and looking for a legit road bike, get this. Pay the extra 90 bucks over the GMC denali.
i bought this bike a month ago because it said Aluminum and it looks nice,but thats where it ends,the bike feels light enough but when i ride it it feels like it weighs a ton.As soon as i stop pedaling the bike slows down considerably unlike other schwinn bikes ive had in the past,i bought a used schwinn after i purchased this one and its ten times better,nice and smooth and feels light and does not slow down when i stop pedaling.i have checked everything on this bike and its just not worth the money they charge for it,im thinking about selling it and buying a used bike.I would recommend that if you are thinking about getting into bike riding dont buy this bike,go online and buy a used one that has been tweeked in a bike shop,it will feel better than this one,if its just for casual riding then this one is ok.i hope this review helps those of you thinking about getting into bike riding.
My husband saw a gentleman riding this bike. He liked it so much he had to stop and ask questions. He Liked the fact that the bike was light weight. When he inquired about the price and where it was purchased, he was surprised as well as shocked at the price and that it came from Walmart. He immediately headed to the local Walmart store. He was a bit disappointed when he found out that the bike was sold only at one store in the area, and that quantities were limited. Of course the store was out of stock and though he was offered an alternative, he have had to refuse. I went online and found exactly what he wanted. We opted for the site to store offer and received the bike in about eight to nine days. Assembly was not as bad as he expected, make sure you have an Allen wrench. He showed it to his brother who in turn purchased one also. I recommend this bike. It makes for a great Christmas, Birthday, or Father's day gift.
I ordered mine online shipped to my door so the assembly and initial tune-up was up to me. I own a bike repair stand and tool set which makes the set-up feasible so I adjusted the brakes and derailleurs plus pumped up the tires before I rode it. The factory settings (out of the box) may not be "road ready" so I'd suggest properly adjusting the bike or taking it to your LBS for help if unable to do it yourself. I also stripped the factory handlebar wrap and re-wrapped with a red and black camouflage cork wrap to trick it out a little and added the Schwinn frame accessory bag. I am 5'11", 200# and find the bike to be a perfect fit. This bike is light, smooth to ride and looks awesome. The seat is comfortable, very attractive and has great stitching. If you're looking for a drop-down bar road bike for under $300 this is the best bike I've seen for the money. Happy riding!
I am a beginner to the cycling world. I've been biking long distances (20+ miles) with a mountain bike that I outfitted with hybrid tires. I upgraded to the schwinn varsity road bike and my rides have been great. I've ridden road bikes of the past but this is certainly a much smoother ride. I am now easily able to ride (50+ miles) a day with no difficulty. The bike is a mans bike but I've been facing difficulty as a young woman finding a bike that fit me well... I'm only 5'5 but I have a 32' inch inseam... so I'm all leg. This bike is a comfortable ride for me, but if your inseam is less than 32' you will not be able to straddle the bar...
Well, It's a really good bike! I got it for about 300 dollars, including a warranty. The only problem that I have with it is with the rear derailleur. It will not shift to 7th gear. It all works fine, I just need to take it to the shop to tune the shimano's correctly. Walmart assembly isn't the best. Overall a great bike.
I bought this bike with no prior experience in road cycling. Did a little research before hand, so I knew I wasn't buying anything special. After a quick youtube session, I had the bike fitted to me (other than I'm way too short for the frame) and I was on my way. Having nothing to compare it to, I thought the ride was nice and I was able to maintain a fair amount of speed at ~19-20mph. I now know that isn't impressive at all lol. After that first ride, I did some more youtubing and got my derailleurs set up right and my brakes to where they'd stop me in a reasonable distance. Now that I have more than 150 miles on it, I'm looking for a new bike. The bike was great for someone who doesn't know if they will keep with cycling and doesn't want to spend $1000 on an "entry level" bike, but if this is something they'll do for a while, I'd suggest skipping this step and just get a real bike.
As good as hopefully expected but...
Bike came w/ defective tire tube (near stem). Called warranty and 2 new two tubes were shipped/arrived in two days. Everything OK now
This is a great bike for the budget tinkerer/engineer. I have an older (2009, "natural" aluminum with yellow and black) version of this bike. It had languished outside the store until the price was $160. I used this bike to learn how to build and rebuild a bike by using better quality but inexpensive parts. The only original parts are the frame, headset, and fork--but the fork and headset will be changed this year. I used a microSHIFT Centos groupset (which is available here on Walmart.com) to upgrade from the Shimano A050 shifters to brake/shift levers and low-end Shimano front and rear derailleurs. This also allowed me to go from a 7- to 9-speed casette, which meant that I needed a new rear hub, as these 7-speed hubs are older-style freewheels, not freehubs--so I learnt how to build a rear wheel. Again, a good bike for a tinkerer.
Best road bike option! I will say just buy this one don't waist time trying something else!
I've had my bike for a month already and there more i ride it the more i love it. at the beginning was a little disappointed because some parts are not as good as i thought they'd be, but after take it for a couple of rides i realize it just do the job. besides, it's great price compare what you get elsewhere. I would definitely recommend it to a beginner rider that is just looking to be fit and recreational use (a professional rider might consider it a piece of junk). It's easy to put together, however some adjustment has to be done in order to ride, the chain keeps falling off until you fix it, but after you tune it, it just runs smoothly and comfortably. I read some bad reviews that it is not worht it, but I'm very satisfied with my purchase.
I bought this bike a couple of weeks ago and have about 100 miles on it. I completed a tri with a 14 mile ride last weekend on this bike and it performed great in race conditions. The course was very hilly (much different that I am used to). Shifting was easy during the race with the Shimano components (I think I used every gear going up and down the hills). I did get it up to 34.7 miles/hour at one downhill part of the race.
I would recommend this bike to anyone wanting to get into a road bike without spending $700. Schwinn makes a quality product. The bike is light and easy to ride. The assembly was easy and I had very little issues (I had to adjust the front derailleur, but it was easy with a twist of a screwdriver). To make it feel like more of a racing bike, I removed the reflectors from the tires, front and back and the plastic protector from the rear wheel hub (I read that someone else did this from another review).
• Schwinn water bottle that I bought from Target (sorry Walmart).
• Cateye Micro Wireless (CC-MC200W) (bought from Amazon (sorry Walmart)).
• I also bought a Schwinn tire pump off of Amazon (sorry Walmart). The tires require 100 psi and I would recommend checking it each time you take off for a ride.
The bike is absolutely beautiful until you start ridding it. I was wandering around looking from store to store for a new bike I could afford. I just about gave up till I ran into this bike. I thought no way too good to be true. The bike weighs 25-30 pounds. Sounds light, right? I rode another expensive bike and these two bikes arent even in the same league. The wheels stop as soon as you stop pedaling. If your serious about getting into the Road bike world, I would recommend saving for a little longer and buy yourself a better bike that performs good. If your a casual bike ridder this bike is perfect for you, but if your serious about ridding through the city dont do it.
After ridding my mountain bike for a while I decided to upgraded to a Road Bike. I started asking a couple of friends about road bikes and its amazing how they would all say to get an entry level road bike that would cost me aprox $600.00 USD. I went through several websites and found the same answer, they recommend a beginners road bike of USD$600.00.
To me that was insane because all I wanted to do was exercise and not compete in the Olympics. So, if you are looking for a good road bike for exercise no need to go any further this bike is just fine. At the end of the day you still have to pedal in order to go around the block.
I hadn't ridden a bicycle in 30 years and wanted to get back into it as a form of exercise. This is a great starter road bike for someone who doesn't want pay a lot of money. The bike is very light weight. I purchased at the store so it was preassembled. A Walmart employee tuned the brakes for me. Other than that it was ready to go. I removed the foot traps because I wasn't very comfortable with getting my feet out of them when I needed to stop. All in all I am very happy with this product.
Love this bike. Pros: sleek, slim, light, fast, looks cool, and great for the price. Some places wanted $3000 and up for a bike I felt that was just as good, yeah right maybe if i was lance armstrong. Psh Cons: bike assembly was difficult due to vague instructions, bike was missing one front brake pad upon delivery, and the bike does not handle bumpy roads very well I had a flat tire within the first week of urban riding.
It´s a very nice bike, not too heavy, it´s a good value for money deal.
The only thing I disliked is the shifts are very old fashioned, you can´t see them online, they are simple plastic, big and attach to the top of the maneuver, which makes it difficult to reach.
If that isn´t an issue, I would recommend this bike.
Great bike,very light weight....loving it.

I'm new to WP... I have a current site, http://www.msrphotographs.com, that is a flash site. Currently, I use WP for the blog portion of my site. However, I want to use a second WP templete for my main site, how do I change templates (from flash to WP) and still use WP to control both my main site & blog using two different templates.
Thanks in advance.

It's an honor just to play in the NFL, considering there are just 32 teams with 53-man active rosters to fill. But when a player distinguishes himself as one of the best of his generation, he often finds himself immortalized in the Pro Football Hall of Fame once his career is over.
However, for every legend who gets in, there's another talented player who won't ever have a bust in Canton.
Take San Diego Chargers quarterback Philip Rivers, for example. He's long been one of the more elite quarterbacks to play the position, but he's not likely to reach the Hall of Fame without at least one Super Bowl victory to his name.
Super Bowl rings are the quickest way for a quarterback to enter the Hall, and while there are a number of quarterbacks to end their careers with stat lines worse than Rivers', the fact they were part of championship teams while Rivers has yet to be, doesn't bode well for his chances to get the nod.
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has been one of the most explosive players at his position and has even been to a Super Bowl. However, it's very difficult for a wide receiver to make it into the Hall of Fame, even ones with better overall resumes than Fitzgerald.
Though he's had just two seasons with fewer than 1,000 receiving yards, without championships to back it up, he's a long shot to make it to Canton.
Philadelphia Eagles quarterback Michael Vick returned to the game in 2009 and had an eye-popping 2010 season that saw him throw for over 3,000 yards for 21 touchdowns to just six interceptions and run for 676 more yards and nine additional scores.
However, that production took a dip in 2011. He had more passing yards, but threw 18 touchdowns to 14 interceptions and had just a single rushing score.
If Vick would have continued to play at the level he did in 2010, his chances to reach the Hall would be much higher. He'd have to return to that level and perhaps even lead the Eagles to a Super Bowl victory before he will deserve serious Hall of Fame consideration.
Another Eagle, cornerback Nnamdi Asomugha, was considered one of the all-time greats at his position, but since leaving the Oakland Raiders for Philadelphia, he's all but disappeared.
His 2011 season was solid but not spectacular, which was caused in part by him being a member of an Eagles secondary populated by a glut of big-name talent.
His 35 solo tackles and three interceptions were good, to be sure. But if he's a Hall of Fame corner, his numbers need to return to his 2006 level, in which he had 50 tackles, one forced fumble and eight interceptions.
Running backs are darlings of Canton, and just two years ago it seemed as though the Tennessee Titans' Chris Johnson was destined to get there, with 2,006 rushing yards on 358 carries, resulting in 14 touchdowns, and 50 catches for 503 yards and two more scores.
His production has since dropped off, with 1,364 rushing yards and 11 scores in 2010 and 1,047 rushing yards and just four touchdowns in 2011. If Johnson is to be a Hall of Fame running back, he will need to have consecutive years with a high level of production.

When messing around with a beta version of 1.2 a few days ago I'm sure I saw an option to change the default page in the admin interface to edit.php instead of post.php. I've just upgraded my main blog to 1.2 Mingus and can't find it anywhere. Of course now I look back at the beta it's not in there either so I must have imagined it.
I have seen something posted in here ages ago saying this feature would exist though and it's one I would really like. When I've finished posting or editing posts in my blog I want to be sent to the edit page rather than the post page. It just makes sense, I edit posts much more often than I post them. I remember others wanting it at the time so I'm sure I'm not alone.
I have no idea how to put this functionality in though, dont' even know where to start. And I would prefer it to either be put into wordpress proper (as I thought it was going to be) or (more likely) made into a plugin so that it's not lost when I upgrade. Can someone help me with this?

Campus Housing:
I live in West Campus, so although it's pretty far from most of my classes, I love it. It's pretty close to FitRec, which is a good incentive to go there all the time. I would say that the social atmosphere is better in Warren because of their common rooms on each floor, but West houses all the partiers and athletes. It kind of depends on your preference when it comes to choosing a dorm.
Health & Safety:
BU is really concerned with the health of its students. The medical facilities are pretty good and the people really want to help you. BUPD and the EMTs are instantly called if a student might have alcohol poisoning. Safety is the first priority, and it's comforting knowing that they will take car of you.
I'm a part of a club team and it's great. The varsity sports are a little more important, but we still get a lot of support. The facilities are great; FitRec is so amazing.
Overall Experience:
The courses are hard work, and grade deflation doesn't help that. The professors and TAs are there during office hours if you need to talk to them, and BU provides so many different tutoring services that you should take advantage of. The lectures can be pretty big, but they get smaller as your courses get more specific.
Local Area:
It's Boston, how can you not love it? Not only do you have the city at your fingertips, but there's so many more colleges to find people your age to interact with. Newbury is close by, so you can go shopping right after class if you want to. Hockey games are a must to go to; even if you're not into sports it's still a great way to have fun with friends.
COM is the best. If you ask for help, help will be given. Even though the classes are hard, they are definitely worth it.
Off-Campus Housing:
I've never looked into off campus housing, but it seems pretty chill. There's a website run by BU that gives apartment listings near campus, so I guess that's helpful.
Off-Campus Dining:
This is Boston, so finding a different place to eat every night isn't hard. The best places near campus are Sunset Cantina and T Anthony's. Sunset has the best nachos ever and T Anthony's is open pretty late. If you're looking for something fancier, the North End is where it's at.
Greek Life:
Greek life isn't very prevalent on campus, only about 5% of the student body join a sorority or fraternity. However, the parties they throw are awesome.
Party Scene:
There's always somewhere to go on the weekends and you definitely won't get bored. Allston is where all the BU frats are and is a haven for freshmen. Bay State Road has all the MIT frats and they are a blast. There's so many other colleges around that parties won't be hard to find.
Campus Food:
Boston University has a great food selection. It's easy to get used to and think it isn't all that great, but as far as campus food goes, it's pretty excellent. The best place to eat is Bay State because it has the largest variety of options. Every dining hall has gluten-free and vegetarian options, so there is something for everyone. I believe if you are gluten-free they have a selection of snacks t grab in the dining hall exclusive to gluten-free students. you just have to call the dining services and have them allow your card to swipe into the room.
Boston University has some great sports teams. We are a Division 1 school, but there are also a great deal of intramural and club sports that students can participate in. There's something for everyone.
I am going to be majoring in Commnuications. It is a great program, but in applying to the school I decided to apply for the College of General studies which is a 2-year program of pre-requisite courses. I did this because I wasn't sure which specific school I wanted to attend. This way I am able to complete my required courses all together then move on to studying my major.
I am quite upset with Boston University's Financial Aid System. I don't understand how a university with so much money has very limited options for financial aid. They don't have much money to help students attend and cover the high costs.
Health & Safety:
It is not the best system. There are support groups or counselors to talk to if you have been a victim, but there is not a whole lot done by the school in terms of prevention. As for safety in getting home at night, there are services to call who can safely walk or drive you back to your dorm if you don't feel safe.
Local Area:
Being in the city of Boston is amazing. There is so much to do. There is shopping, museums, exhibits, historical places to visit, etc. I would definitely live here if I found a good job. It is the city so it is very expensive.
Party Scene:
It is great and not too hard to find a party, but nightlife can be difficult when you are under 21 and don't enjoy fraternity parties. It's not your typical college campus because it in the middle of the city. There is something fro everyone, even if you don't enjoy parties.
Campus Housing:
It depends where on campus you live. The best thing to do as a freshman is to live in West campus. It's the easiest to make friends and it's a very close knit environment. There are other areas of housing that are more distant, which may be nice once you're older, but at the beginning of your college experience I would recommend West or Warren Towers. Housing is very expensive and in my opinion not worth what you are given. Other universities have much nicer housing and probably for a more affordable price.
Greek Life:
I do not know much about the Greek life at Boston University. I am not involved. But I would say it's half and half. Some people are involved and some are not, but your involvement doesn't make much of a difference here.
Greek Life:
I have attended a few events with Greek life. It was enjoyable. I have no interest in joining at this time.
I have never had any issues at B.U.
Local Area:
Boston has everything from Fenway Park to the Boston Commons. The shopping is amazing, the food is the best you will find. I have lived in Boston for three years now, and I am still finding new places and new things to do.
I was excepted to work on a satellite project. It has definitely been the best experience of my life. I have grown from this challenge. I believe I would never have had this chance to do something so rewarding and challenging if I had attended any other University.
Campus Housing:
I have had great experiences in all housing thus far.
Off-Campus Dining:
I have experienced the best dining options since I have lived in Boston. Boston has something for everyone!

Sorry, there are no reviews.
While BU certainly has its downfalls, most of which are due to the sheer size of the University, there are plenty of opportunities to take full advantage of all that it has to offer. For the resourceful and motivated, a little effort will go a long way. The most important thing is to utilize your professors to your advantage. It is their job to be available to their students, and while some are certainly more attentive than others, students are not turned away by a professor when they have gone looking for opportunities or support.
Keeping busy, being well-organized, and choosing a course of study that truly stimulates your intellectual interests will all be really helpful in having a successful experience at BU. Many students dread graduation day, and therefore, leaving Boston is not something they look forward to. On the flip-side, countless others would argue the opposite perspective. Accept your environment and work with it, as well as against it. Do not stay inside for too long, and do not drink away your college years. Make school a priority, and hang out with your professors (they are the best resource you have). Boston is a huge city with a really large population of young people. If you are looking for a taste of city life, and think that you would be able to establish yourself at a big university in a high-paced atmosphere, it is definitely possible to find your niche here.

Singapore – June 26, 2007 – Symantec Corp. (Nasdaq: SYMC) today announced it will offer Symantec Mobile Security Suite 5.0, a solution designed to provide customers with the same security and data protection capabilities on their Windows Mobile smartphones and PDAs as what has become standard for laptops and other computing devices. Symantec Mobile Security Suite 5.0 will include antivirus, firewall, anti-SMS spam, and data encryption technologies that are easy to deploy, manage and maintain. This kind of layered security can not only mitigate the unique security risks of mobile devices, but can also enable companies to more easily and cost-effectively comply with internal security policies and external regulations.
"The global workforce is becoming increasingly mobile – using a wide range of mobile devices to access personal applications and corporate data over insecure public WiFi and home networks," said Sandra Palumbo, senior analyst at the Yankee Group. "The IT departments tasked with managing and protecting these devices are having a tough time wading through the wide spectrum of individual security products to determine what is needed and what is not. The vendor that can unify these technologies, ensure they interoperate and provide a high level of support and manageability will likely find a significant market with corporate IT buyers."
Yankee Group research indicates that the number of enterprise mobile data users will increase to over 269 million by 2010, representing a 19.8 percent Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR). With the increasing number of users connecting their mobile devices to company networks, it is no surprise that malware writers and criminals are looking to take advantage of this unprotected path to sensitive data. Research from Symantec's Global Intelligence Network shows that the number of mobile viruses has almost doubled every six months from 2004 to 2006.
Symantec Mobile Security Suite 5.0 will provide several integrated security technologies for mobile devices, including:
"Many Symantec customers - IT departments and consumers alike - understand that mobile phones represent the new computing platform," said Paul Miller, managing director of Symantec's mobile security group. "Now that the dual-mode Windows Mobile devices permit users to communicate over both cellular and wireless local networks, more and more users are relying on their phones for their personal and business transactions. These 'pro-sumers' are looking to security leaders like Symantec to help them protect their information and interactions no matter where they reside – whether that's on phones, laptops, or PCs."
The Symantec Mobile Security Suite 5.0 is an integrated solution that addresses the expanding ecosystem of both known and unknown security threats. It also provides added protection for the common problem of lost phones.
Symantec is scheduled to release Norton Mobile Security, a consumer version of its enterprise Mobile Security Suite in the same timeframe. Norton Mobile Security will specifically feature firewall, antivirus, anti-SMS spam, password protection and data encryption technologies to address consumers' needs for security and protection of their personal, financial, and other confidential information held on smartphones.
Symantec Mobile Security Suite 5.0 and Symantec Mobile VPN 2.6, important components of Symantec's Endpoint Security product family and the company's Security 2.0 strategy, are scheduled to be released in APAC by end of June 2007. These products are expected to be available through Symantec's direct sales force, enterprise VAR channel, system integrators and select OEM partners.

I would totally play football with him.
I though Nick Lachey only made it as far north as Tacoma? :P
Damn! I went to bed too early. I'd let him pelt me.
...that didn't stop folks in the neighborhood from pulling out cardboard covered with garbage bags and sledding down the street. I love that!
Not to diminish the hottie's creative selection of winter-wear, but those are quite decidedly not "wee panties." Not even close. See, e.g., GoSoftWear, which are the briefest of briefs.
Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening
by Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village, though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound's the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark, and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.
