Use the Bash trap Statement to Clean Up Temporary Files
The trap statement in bash causes your script to execute one or more commands when a signal is received. One of the useful things you can use this for is to clean up temporary files when your script exits.
To execute code when your script receives a signal, use the following syntax:
trap arg sigspec...
The "arg" is the command to execute. If the command contains spaces, quote it. You can include multiple commands by separating them with semicolons. For more complex things, put your exit code in a function and just invoke the function. The "sigspec" list is a list of signals to trap and then execute "arg" (if/when they occur). For example, to remove a file on EXIT, do the following:
trap "rm -f afile" EXIT
Note that EXIT is not a real signal (do kill -l to see all signals); it is synthesized by bash.
Be careful using wildcards in "arg", because if they are unquoted or quoted with double quotes, they get expanded when the trap statement is encountered and not when "arg" is executed. For example, if you have a file named "abc.tmp" and the following trap statement is executed:
trap "rm -f *.tmp" EXIT
the command that gets executed when the script exits is "rm -f abc.tmp" and not "rm -f *.tmp". To avoid this problem, use single quotes.
If you create temporary files at various places in your code and you don't use a naming convention that would allow you to use a wild card in your trap statement and you don't want to worry about changing your trap statement as your code evolves, you could write something like this to allow you to add new trap commands that get executed on exit:
declare -a on_exit_items
function on_exit()
for i in "${on_exit_items[@]}"
echo "on_exit: $i"
eval $i
function add_on_exit()
local n=${#on_exit_items[*]}
if [[ $n -eq 0 ]]; then
echo "Setting trap"
trap on_exit EXIT
touch $$-1.tmp
add_on_exit rm -f $$-1.tmp
touch $$-2.tmp
add_on_exit rm -f $$-2.tmp
ls -la
Here the function add_on_exit() adds commands to an array, and the on_exit() function loops through the commands in the array and executes them on exit. The on_exit function gets set as the trap command the first time add_on_exit is called.

Bugs in the article's scripts?
First, a caveat: I rarely use Bourne-shell scripts. Still, I was unable to get
the example cited in the article running, and I believe that is caused by at least
two problems in the illustrative example scripts.
It seems to me that the exit commands have to be quoted when add_on_exit
is invoked; i.e., add_on_exit "rm -f $$-1.tmp" instead of add_on_exit rm -f $$-1.tmp ,
no? Also, shouldn't the command be assigned to a new element of the on_exit_items
array using on_exit_items="([$n]=$*)" ?
Works for me
The example script works for me.
The exit commands could be quoted when calling add_on_exit but they don't have to be. The entire command line (to add_on_exit) is quoted when it is added to the array:
and the commands are added to a new element of the array:
local n=${#on_exit_items[*]} on_exit_items[$n]="$*"
The syntax that you suggest for appending to the array does not preserve the existing elements.

bash script to capture stdin
Hi there, firstly, excellent article!
I am running a script on my ubuntu system to pair my BT mouse with my laptop. I'd like at one to point capture keyboard input to proceed with the pairing. I am running the script graphically by double-clicking the executable, and I do NOT wish to open a terminal.
Is there a way to do this using TRAP? Either to tell the script to wait for a keyboard signal, or maybe call some other program that does so?
Details can be found here:
There's not a "keyboard" trap that you can catch and beyond that since you haven't opened a terminal you don't even have a keyboard "connected" to your script. This is actually an important point: when you run a shell script from a GUI launcher, things aren't as you perhaps expect them to be. If you run ls -la /proc/$$/fd from a terminal window you'll see something like:
lrwx------ 1 user users 64 2009-07-28 09:12 0 -> /dev/pts/1 lrwx------ 1 user users 64 2009-07-28 09:12 1 -> /dev/pts/1 lrwx------ 1 user users 64 2009-07-28 09:12 2 -> /dev/pts/1
showing your stdin/stdout/stderr connected to the terminal.
If however you were to run that same command from a script launced by a GUI launcher you would see something like this:
lr-x------ 1 user users 64 2009-07-28 09:12 0 -> /dev/null l-wx------ 1 user users 64 2009-07-28 09:12 1 -> /home/user/.xsession-errors l-wx------ 1 user users 64 2009-07-28 09:12 2 -> /home/user/.xsession-errors
So all output ends up in your ~/.xsession-errors file and your input (stdin) is not even connected to anything useful. Note that when I said see above, I meant you'd see it in your ~/.xsession-errors file.
That said, seems to me there's a simple solution to this problem: since you don't want to open a terminal why don't you use zenity or something to ask the question in a GUI dialog box, eg:
if zenity --timeout 2 --question --text 'Connect BT mouse? '; then # connect mouse ...
zenity --timeout 2 --question --text 'Connect BT mouse? ' if [ $? -eq 0 ]; then # connect mouse ...

Worked like a charm and had
Worked like a charm and had the added side-effect of making my pairing process more robust. I'm not sure why, but for some reason, I no longer need to physically put the mouse in pairing mode (a real blessing) by pressing connect on the mouse!
Thank you!

Works Similarly On Korn Shell, Too
This also works in ksh (Korn Shell), with one exception: the "declare" keyword has to be replaced with "typeset" (ie. "typeset -a on_exit_items").
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Top tourist spots in Pakistan
As India, Pakistan liberalise visas regime, a look at the must-see places in Pakistan
Katasraj Temple
Dedicated to Lord Shiva, this Hindu temple in the Chakwal district of Punjab takes its name from the village where it stands - Katas. Legend traces its origins back to the Mahabharata era and it is said that it provided refuge to the Pandavas during a good part of their exile.
The temple had been in a sorry state of disrepair till the Pakistan government in 2006-07 decided to step in and take concrete steps to reverse the ravages of time and restore it to old glory. It has even been considered for nomination as a World Heritage Site.
Senior BJP L.K. Advani had visited the temple during his visit to Pakistan in June 2005.

A question of architectural advantages and limitations
by Ramnivas Laddad, Gerardo Pardo-Castellote, Stan Schneider
Smart interactive devices leverage publish-subscribe model.
The publish-subscribe model is the premier method for disseminating information in complex distributed applications. Publish-subscribe middleware takes care of all the network programming and message-passing chores, dramatically simplifying application development for enterprise and Internet applications.
Smart, interactive devices in distributed, real-time applications also benefit from the simple publish-subscribe programming model. However, most commercial middleware targets desktop applications and thus does not meet real-time application requirements for determinism, fault tolerance, robustness, and data delivery control.
Data flow semantics
Developing distributed applications starts with an understanding of the data flow among the smart interactive devices and other, more functional network nodes. The flow can be quite simple, such as when a sensor sends the current temperature regularly to a remote monitor.
It can also be quite complex, such as when hundreds of real-time network nodes exchange sensor and actuator information with controllers to synchronize operation and ensure safety.
When analyzing the flow, the developer must understand the different types of flow and delivery patterns. Important data flow characteristics include timing: how quickly the data must be delivered; reliability: whether or not the data is guaranteed to reach its destination; and bandwidth: how much data must be transferred.
Updates useless
Real-time applications must handle many types of data flow.
Signals: Many real-time applications require measurements from some gauge or parameter (for example, temperature or position). Signals usually change or update continuously. Signal data flow is typically the following:
- Time critical, where updates are useless if old
- Idempotent, where repeated updates are acceptable
- Last is best, where the latest information is more important than retrying missed samples
Signals can require high bandwidth. They often have a short useful life. For most applications, it is more important to get the most recent value quickly than to get every value ever produced.
Commands: Many real-time systems must process sequential instructions, or commands. Command data flow requires that each instruction in the sequence delivers reliably once and only once. The application cannot miss any intermediate instructions or execute an instruction twice. Commands are often not time critical.
Status: Status indicates the current state or a goal. Status data flow requirements are typically less rigorous than commands or signals. Status usually persists for some time. It is not usually critical that it delivers only once, and it may or may not be time critical or require reliable delivery.
Events: Events synchronize execution between concurrent tasks and external operations. For example, a pump control task may not be able to run until the float indicates the level has fallen below a set value. The float sensor will send an event to the pump task to begin operation. Events may or may not have associated data. Event data flow can have both critical timing and reliability requirements.
Requests: Real-time applications occasionally need to issue specific requests for data. Requests imply a two-part communication: A client sends the request to a server, and the server returns the response. In real-time applications, requests may be blocking or asynchronous. Programs issuing requests must specify time-out actions so unfulfilled requests do not excessively repeat.
Once the information properties are clear, attention turns to the distribution patterns.
There are three key questions:
- From where is the information generated?
- Where does it have to go?
- When does it have to get there?
The answers to these questions have profound implications for the application's underlying communication requirements. For example, a client/server system with a centralized shared database is a vastly different system than a distributed control system passing time-critical data directly among distributed nodes.
Data flow semantics are critical to the communication architecture. For example, TCP ensures reliability by retrying dropped packets. However, the number and frequency of retries are global system parameters.
The application thus has little control over the time of delivery. As timing is often a critical parameter, TCP is inappropriate for most real-time applications.
Publish subscribe reduces
Publish-subscribe data distribution is gaining popularity in many distributed applications, such as financial communications, Web-based push technologies, and command and control systems.
Its popularity is justified. Publish subscribe substantially reduces development, deployment, and maintenance effort while delivering better performance for applications with complex data flow. For example, rather than keeping track of each subscriber and sending data to each individually, publish subscribe lets a publisher send each piece of data once anonymously.
Several features characterize publish-subscribe architectures.
Distinct declaration and delivery: Communications occur in three steps:
- Publishers declare intent to publish a publication.
- Subscribers declare interest in a publication.
- Publishers send a publication issue.
Named publications: Publish-subscribe applications distribute data using named publications. Each publication has a topic and a type. The topic is a name used by publishers and subscribers to create a logical data channel. The type describes the data format. Each incremental value of a publication is an issue.
Most publish-subscribe architectures support arbitrary, user-defined types with automatic type conversion among computer architectures.
Many-to-many communications support: Publish subscribe distributes each issue simultaneously from one publisher to many subscribers. The model's flexibility also helps developers implement complex, many-to-many distribution schemes quite easily. For example, different publishers can declare the same topic so those subscribers get issues from multiple sources.
Event-driven transfer: Publish-subscribe communication is naturally event driven. Publishers send each issue when it is ready. When the issue arrives, the subscribers receive notification.
Middleware: Publish-subscribe services are typically made available through middleware that sits on top of the operating system's network interface and presents an application programming interface. The middleware handles three basic programming chores:
- Maintains the database that maps publishers to subscribers. The result is logical data channels for each publication between publishers and subscribers.
- Serializes and deserializes the data on its way to and from the network to reconcile publisher and subscriber platform differences.
- Delivers the published data.
Many-to-many connect
Publish subscribe offers some clear advantages for real-time applications:
- Because its direct peer-to-peer transport is very efficient in both bandwidth and latency, publish subscribe offers the best transport for distributing data quickly.
- Because it provides many-to-many connectivity, publish subscribe is ideal for complex distributed applications.
- Because it requires no configuration, publish subscribe can handle applications that add and remove nodes and data streams dynamically.
This publish-subscribe model works well for desktop and Internet applications. However, real-time applications often require more functionality:
Delivery timing control: Distributed real-time applications must control timing. For example, many subscribers need to receive issues within specific time frames, and publishers need to specify how long an issue remains valid.
Reliability control: Real-time applications must be able to trade off reliable delivery against their own determinism requirements. Moreover, different data channels can have different needs. Within a single application, for example, different subscribers can require different reliability characteristics.
Request-reply semantics: Complex real-time applications often have onetime requests for actions or data. These do not fit well into the publish-subscribe semantics.
Limitations spur answers
Publish subscribe does has some limitations, however.
Flexible delivery bandwidth: Each subscriber's bandwidth requirements even for the same publication can be different. For example, logging subscribers may require all signal data issues, while an end-user workstation can get by with far fewer.
Fault tolerance: Real-time applications often require hot standby publishers and servers.
Thread priority awareness: Real-time communications must often work without affecting publisher or subscriber threads.
Selective degradation: Each real-time logical data channel must be protected from the others. That is, the slowdown or failure of one publisher due to dropouts, network congestion, or CPU overload should not affect a subscriber's receipt of publications from other publishers.
Robustness: The communications layer should not introduce any single-node points of failure to the application.
Dynamic scalability: The lifetime of a real-time distributed application often exceeds the individual lifetime of any one publisher or subscriber. Publishers and subscribers need to be able to join and leave the application at any time.
Efficiency: Real-time systems require efficient data collection and delivery. Only minimal delays should be introduced into the critical data-transfer path.
Industry is working on and successfully addressing these limitations. IT

ADA2 encodes a component of three chromatin modifying histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complexes: SAGA, SLIK, and ADA (5, 6, 7; reviewed in 8). These complexes function in positive and negative transcriptional regulation of numerous RNA polymerase II-transcribed genes; in addition, SLIK plays a role in the retrograde response (7, 9; reviewed in 10). The three complexes each contain the histone acetyltransferase catalytic subunit Gcn5p, which interacts directly with Ada2p and preferentially modifies histones H3 and H2B (11; reviewed in 10). In vitro, Gcn5p acetylates N-terminal lysines on free histones, but acetylation of nucleosomal histone substrates also requires Ada2p and Ngg1p (also called Ada3p), which are found in a complex with Gcn5p (3). Ada2p has been shown to increase the HAT activity of Gcn5p, while Ngg1p plays a role in expanding the range of lysines that undergo acetylation (3).
Independently of its interaction with Gcn5p, Ada2p has also been shown to function in transcriptional silencing at telomeres and ribosomal DNA (12). Ada2p binds telomeric chromatin and Sir2p to prevent the spread of silencing proteins Sir2p and Sir3p into subtelomeric regions (12).
Null mutations in ADA2 confer slow growth in minimal glucose media, resistance to the toxic effect of the chimeric transcriptional activator GAL4-VP16, and silencing defects (1, 12). The null mutant also grows poorly on low phosphate medium, and exhibits increased sensitivity to ethanol or caffeine (13). Microarray analysis indicates that 2.5% of S. cerevisiae open reading frames show a twofold or greater change in expression in the null mutant (13).
The amino terminal region of Ada2p contains a ZZ-type zinc finger and a SANT domain (14), which is found in other proteins involved in chromatin remodeling, such as Swi3p (a component of the SWI/SNF complex) and Rsc8p (a subunit of the RSC complex). Ada2p also contains a conserved central region, and a C-terminal SWIRM domain (15, 13). Mutations in the Ada2p SANT domain confer growth and histone acetylation defects, indicating that this region is essential for the function of the HAT complexes (16, 4). The amino terminal region of Ada2p is required for interaction with Gcn5p, whereas interaction with Ngg1p is mediated by the central region (17). Mutant analysis indicates that the central region is also required for full Gcn5p acetyltransferase activity and substrate specificity; in addition, it has been shown to bind phosphatidylserine (13).
Ada2p is evolutionarily conserved among eukaryotes and orthologs have been described in several organisms, including Arabidopsis (18), Drosophila (19), and humans (20). The human ortholog ADA2b is a component of the SAGA-like complex STAGA and is recruited to p53-dependent promoters (20).

Release courtesy of the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management.
The Department of Environmental Management announces that test results from one mosquito pool, or sample, from a trap set in the southeast area of Charlestown has been confirmed positive for West Nile Virus.
It is the fourth time this year that WNV has been positively identified in Rhode Island. The positive WNV result was from a species of mosquitoes that feeds on both birds and mammals.
In addition, a sample of mosquitoes also collected on Sept. 5 in North Kingstown near Wickford has tested positive for Highlands J virus. The positive result was from a Culiseta species that bites birds.
Highlands J virus is a bird disease that doesn't affect humans, but which is an indicator that environmental conditions are appropriate for the transmission of other mosquito-borne viruses.
The positive findings came from mosquitoes trapped by DEM staff on Sept. 5 and tested at the Rhode Island Department of Health laboratory. The results were confirmed today.
According to Alan Gettman, Ph.D., DEM's mosquito abatement coordinator, the positive results were not unexpected and confirm that there are infected mosquitoes in the environment. Therefore, all Rhode Islanders should take extra care to protect themselves, particularly when mosquito-biting activity is high.
Biting activity depends on several conditions. It generally is greatest from dusk to dawn. During the day it decreases in sunny areas at lower temperatures and increases in shady areas at higher temperatures. Biting activity also generally increases with high humidity and with low wind.
Personal protection is the first line of defense against mosquitoes that can carry diseases such as West Nile Virus and EEE and is by far the most effective way of avoiding infection. People should routinely use mosquito repellent and cover up when mosquito-biting activity is greatest. They should place mosquito netting over playpens and carriages outside, and be sure that screens are in good repair. Mosquito repellent should contain no more than 30 percent DEET, and it should not be used on infants.
Because horses are susceptible to West Nile Virus and EEE, Rhode Island horse owners should consult with their veterinarians to determine if their horses are properly vaccinated against both diseases and take measures to control and prevent mosquito exposure. Those controls should include: removing or covering all areas where standing water can collect; applying mosquito larvicide in appropriate locations; and avoiding turning animals outside at dawn, dusk and during the night when mosquitoes are most active.
Horse owners should insect-proof facilities where possible; use approved repellants frequently; monitor animals for symptoms of fever, in-coordination, stumbling and neurological signs; and report all suspicious cases to a veterinarian immediately.
This year, to date in Rhode Island, four pools of mosquitoes have tested positive for Eastern Equine Encephalitis and four pools have tested positive for West Nile Virus.
Mosquitoes in Rhode Island are trapped every week statewide by DEM staff and tested at the RI Department of Health laboratory. DEM will normally report mosquito test results once a week on a routine basis, with additional reports as necessary.
Routine test results from the remaining 148 pools of mosquitoes trapped on Sept. 5 will be included in next week's announcement.
For online information about mosquito-borne diseases, go to DEM's website, www.dem.ri.gov, and click on "Public Health Updates," or go to the HEALTH website, www.health.ri.gov, and click on "E" (Eastern Equine Encephalitis) or "W" (West Nile Virus) under "Health Topics."

900 MHz wireless Ethernet radios
The RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD is an industrial radio transceiver that brings Ethernet or serial data onto IP-based networks from remote locations, even in high-interference environments. The RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD uses the MOTR-9T radio platform, a 1-watt, frequency-hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) transceiver. It operates in the license-free 902-928 MHz ISM band. With the MOTR-9 radio, the user can configure over-the-air data rates up to 500 kbps. Adjustable packet sizes maximize data speed and minimize latency. The radio also incorporates selectable 128/192/256-bit AES encryption to prevent unwanted intrusion and keep data secure. Multiple wireless communication streams allow simultaneous Ethernet, I/O control, and serial ASCII device communicationsall from a single radio without external gateways or additional serial wireless converters. With the radios simple, IT-friendly embedded software, any network PC with a web browser can configure the devices. The RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD is approved for use in Class I, Division 2 hazardous locations.ISA Partner Spotlight

What's best @ UIS?
Find out!
Meet Marcellus Leonard
Associate Professor,
Interim Director,
Center for Teaching and Learning
- Ph.D. Teaching English Composition: Illinois State University
- Former retail merchandiser who managed The Limited and was soft lines merchandiser and unit buying control manager for Sears, Roebuck, & Co., I have three children, a son and two daughters, and 18 grandchildren. Some of my grandchildren are finishing high school and starting college, so I am focused very sharply on the success of young people. I am married, a native of Chicago, Illinois, and a poet who enjoys teaching creative writing.
Interesting facts:
- I started college very late and finished at 50. My children and I
were in school at the same time. I am an associate minister at Calvary Missionary Baptist Church which accounts for my interests in spiritual matters. The creative writing part of who I am and what I do is my passion, but I have a particular affinity for helping students with a background like mine—inner city kids, minority kids, kids from a socioeconomic background that was challenging when they were younger who need a hand up or someone to understand.
Research interest:
- My own dissertation had to do with teaching in the cultural context. I looked at three African-American males who were severely challenged with regard to writing. I followed them over one semester teaching in the cultural context. This means that I encouraged them to write about things that were significantly involved with their way of being in the world—their culture, their racial identity, the communities they came from, their families, whatever they knew about their reality that was compelling to them became the text that we worked on. After one semester I found that students actually wrote better, wrote more, and were more interested in the writing process and learning to improve when they were allowed to write about things that were meaningful to them.
Center for Teaching and Learning:
- I am the Interim Director for the Center. My job is to help students succeed. We help people with writing at every level—from the freshman level to the doctoral level. We help with math, biology, chemistry, and writing. We have seven graduate teaching assistants who help with composition, five who help with mathematics, one who helps with biology and one who helps with chemistry. We also have five undergraduate tutors who help students with composition, math, and writing. I find that assisting students to be successful is the most important thing in my life.
Students can get academic advice, study, or just hang out in the Center for Teaching and Learning.
Major project underway:
- A sabbatical that will begin August 16, 2008, to write an autobiographical historical novel set in historic Robbins, Illinois, which was founded in the late 19th century as a real estate speculation connected with the Chicago World's Fair and the projected growth of the city into the remote southern suburbs. The speculation did not work out and the land was settled by Black people. My family arrived there in 1953, long after it was established. My book is a coming of age story about my brother and I as we grew up there.
Learning philosophy:
- The word active characterizes my learning philosophy more than anything else. It must be an active class. Students must be involved in the class—in the teaching of the class in the discussions of the class, in activities of the class and small group strategies of the class. To stand up and talk to students for 45 minutes or 3 hours is not the way that students learn best; they learn by doing. I like to have my students write and then present what they wrote. Sometimes they do this by giving a speech, sometimes by reading aloud. I also like to have students talk about what they're going to write before they write it. We do this by having a panel, sometimes set up like a talk show, and the students lose themselves in their ideas and their discussions without realizing that they are collecting information for writing the paper. We sometimes have impromptu plays.
Community connections:
- I am one of the founders of Poets' and Writers' Literary Forum of Springfield.
Advice for prospective students:
- I always say the same thing, I've been saying it for years; it was said to me when I decided to return to school. Read everything you're assigned to read and read it on time. Come to class every day. Turn in every assignment that you're asked to write and turn it in on time. Have a schedule; keep the schedule. That's not very hard to do. Set your priorities on being a student. Make that why you are. We have a lot of excuses for not going to class—doing other things, having a game, having a date, not being able to get up on time—those are all excuses. The main thing is to know what you're about and do it. It's very simple. If you read everything and write every paper and you do it on time, you may not be an A student, that requires a special gift, but you will be successful. Don't go home on weekends. Be a college student one hundred percent.
Best thing about UIS:
- Also, i t's a small campus with a small class size which means that the teacher has more time to spend with you and you can get your questions answered. It's a new campus: the buildings are new, the residence halls are new, nothing is crowded. How wonderful it is to have a townhouse or an apartment with your own room. There's something quiet and sustaining about being here, and I highly recommend it.

"We went very simple with the personalization - no images, just first name and last name. The print quality and design were perfect. Couldn't be more pleased."
"I ordered these note cards for my husband. They are well designed without being overdone for a guy. The pattern on the back is what really makes this design great."
"I ordered these cards to use for Thank yous after my son's birthday party. I think they are perfect for a 2 year old! =) I like the feel of the paper and the design is just cute enough. It is not over done. Looks perfect on the size paper. I can't wait to send them out after his party."
"I actually used this card as an invitation for my son's birthday Party. All the details fit perfectly on the back, and the trucks looked like they are on their way to the party. Beautiful design, and got a great deal on them as well. Only thing is I had to fix the font on the front to include capital letters. Great service, and I got my order much sooner than expected."
"I ordered this card in the blue border with red text version and just received them. I am very happy with these...the colors are well-matched to the screen representation and, as with all TinyPrints items, they are printed on wonderfully high-quality card stock. Can wait to start using them!"

Aaron Rodgers Day: The 12 Best Games of the QB's Career
By Zach Kruse on Dec 12, 2012 with 38 Comments
For most of the living, breathing world, Dec. 12, 2012 represents nothing more than the last repeating-number date of this century. Just a regular day with an interesting happenstance tied in.
Not so in the state of Wisconsin.
Thanks to a resolution passed by the state legislature earlier in the year, 12/12/12 has been dubbed "Aaron Rodgers Day," in recognition of the Green Bay Packers' MVP and Super Bowl winning quarterback.
To help celebrate Aaron Rodgers Day, we've put together a list of Rodgers' 12 best games as the Packers quarterback for your viewing enjoyment:
--at Dallas, Nov. 2007: The Grand Entrance
Rodgers replaces an injured Brett Favre and nearly rallies the Packers back from a 27-10 deficit. He pulls Green Bay to within a score on two different opportunities (27-24, 34-27) but is unable to get the Packers past the Cowboys. Rodgers finishes the game 18 of 26 passing for 201 yards and one score. The breakout performance sets the stage for the events of the next summer.
–Minnesota, Sept. 2008: First Start, First Win
In the first game in Green Bay without Favre as the starting quarterback since Sept. 20, 1992, Rodgers calmly led the Packers to a 24-19 win over the rival Vikings. He hit Greg Jennings on a 56-yard bomb on the third series, which Rodgers later capped off with an acrobatic 1-yard touchdown pass to fullback Korey Hall. With just over six minutes left in the fourth quarter, Rodgers snuck in a 1-yard score that put the final nail in his first ever win as the Packers starting quarterback.
–at Arizona, Jan. 2010: Playoff Shootout
Despite throwing an interception on his first ever playoff attempt, Rodgers rallied to help stage one of the best postseason games in recent NFL history. Trailing 31-10 early in the second half, Rodgers threw four touchdown passes and helped rally the Packers to a 45-45 tie at the end of regulation. On the first series of overtime, Rodgers missed a streaking Jennings that would have ended the game in one throw. Two plays later, the game was over. Arizona scooped up a strip sack and returned it for a touchdown to stun Rodgers and the Packers. Rodgers' 423 passing yards are still a franchise playoff record.
–Minnesota, Oct. 2010: Slaying the Demon, Reviving the Season
Rodgers' stats weren't out of this world (295 yards, two touchdowns, two interceptions), but getting a 28-24 win over the Favre-led Vikings helped exorcise his demon (Favre won both meetings in 2009) and revive the Packers' fading 2010 season (the Packers entered the game 3-3). Green Bay would go on to win 11 of its next 13 games, including the playoffs. Had Favre bested Rodgers that October night, who knows how that season ends up.
–at Minnesota, Nov. 2010: Turning the Page
Over one afternoon's work in Minnesota, Rodgers helped turn the page on an ugly chapter in Packers history. Thanks to a 31-3 beat down of the Vikings, in which Rodgers threw for 301 yards and four touchdowns, Green Bay was able to finish off the former legend playing in rival colors. At 3-7, the Favre era in Minnesota all but ended. Rodgers was just getting started.
–at Atlanta, Nov. 2010: Setting the Stage
The Packers may not have won the first meeting with the Falcons in 2010, but Rodgers' performance—especially late—helped set the stage for what would become his finest hour. Down 17-10 late in the fourth quarter, Rodgers drove the Packers the length of the field. Facing fourth down in the red zone, Rodgers hit Jordy Nelson on what remains one of the quarterback's best-ever throws. Atlanta would later triumph in overtime, but the wheels were already in motion for what the postseason would hold.
–at Atlanta, Jan. 2011: The Assault on Atlanta
Rodgers still calls his slicing and dicing of the Falcons in the NFC Divisional Round the best game of his NFL career. Given the numbers, it'd be hard to argue that suggestion. Escaping the pocket with Houdini-like success, Rodgers completed 31 of 36 passes for 366 yards and three touchdowns, plus another rushing score. By the time triple zeros hit the Georgia Dome clock, Green Bay was celebrating a 48-21 thrashing of the NFC's No. 1 seed. Rodgers will have a hard time topping his performance that January night in Atlanta.
–Super Bowl XLV vs. Pittsburgh, Feb. 2011: MVP Says 'Ring Me'
Facing the NFL's No. 1 defense, Rodgers threw for over 300 yards and three scores to help the Packers win their 13th NFL championship. He was named Super Bowl MVP for his efforts. While his three touchdowns were all big plays, Rodgers' dart to Jennings down the seam in the fourth quarter is probably the best throw of his career. On the biggest stage, Rodgers shined the brightest.
–Denver, Oct. 2011: Start of Something Special
By the time Rodgers was done tormenting the Broncos defense, we knew the 2011 season could be something special for both Rodgers and the Packers offense. In throwing for 408 yards and four scores and running for 36 and two more, Rodgers kept the Packers undefeated with a 49-23 win. Rodgers would finish the 2011 season with 45 touchdowns and just six interceptions, while the Packers would score the most points in franchise history.
–at New York, Dec. 2011: Late Drive Wins Shootout
Rodgers and the eventual Super Bowl champions engaged in one of the 2011 season's best games. Eli Manning and Rodgers combined to throw for over 700 yards and seven touchdowns, but it was the Packers who got the best of the outcome on this day. Given the ball last and with the score tied, Rodgers raced the Packers down the field to set up a game-winning kick. Mason Crosby split the uprights at the New Meadowlands, and Green Bay remained undefeated 12 games in.
–Chicago, Dec. 2011: Raining Down Touchdowns on Christmas Night
Playing on Christmas for the first time in his NFL career, Rodgers put on his best Santa Claus impression with the football. A then career-high five touchdown passes later, including two each to James Jones and Jordy Nelson, Rodgers and the Packers won their 14th regular-season game for the first time in franchise history.
–at Houston, Oct. 2012: Rising from the Ashes, A Career Day Begins
Punched to the canvas a week prior by the Indianapolis Colts, Rodgers and the Packers were back on their feet and ready to throw a haymaker or two of their own during this nationally televised bout. Despite being 5-0 and playing at home, the Texans had no answer for Rodgers. Just 37 attempts for Rodgers resulted in 338 yards and a career-high six touchdown passes. At 3-3, the Packers had cleared the cobwebs and were ready to make a run.

Great memories! Happy Aaron Rodgers day!
I'd hafta put the divisional round game in Atlanta as #1. He was on a different level that night.
+2. Ditka said that performance was as close to perfect as any quarterback's he's ever seen.
i was at that game with a good buddy who is a falcons fan. it was a guys weekend with a quick trip across the country to see our favorite teams battle. falcons fans are great…good sports. i was worried before the game started, but with a quiet confidence. and then the game happened, and it was fantastic. the game ended with mostly packers fans left in the georgia dome chanting "go pack go", and a group gathered to give high fives to the players as they left the field. one of the greatest packer games i've been to (but is quickly overshadowed for me by my attendance at the SuperBowl later that year, which was ridiculously great). Definitely lucky to have #12. Happy 12/12/12.
also, another thing i will never ever forget about that game. sitting next to my group of friends was a guy with a purple number 4 jersey on. the guy looked like a true viking fan…
and i'll never forget what i caught him doing…he had a toothpick that he was using to: a) suck on, b) stick into his ear to scrape ear wax and then c) suck the ear wax off the toothpick.
poor minnesota.
Right when I saw the headline I thought of that 1 yarder to Hall against the Vikes. Hard to believe that short of a pass is so memorable to me.
Happy you mentioned it, Zach.-
That throw to hall was great! he was nearly parallel with the ground when he released that ball.
Yes, the Sept 2008 game against the Queens comes to mind also. I remember watching with a group that included a number of people who felt Brent could never be replaced, that the Packers were scum for getting rid of him and that Brent was the only reason the Packers had success during his time there. Even after ARod had what I thought was an impressive debut in a winning effort, their nonchalant dismissive attitude about him has forever has tarnished any credibility they may have had with me. At least about the Packers.
I know even if ARod wins 10 SB's they'll insist Brent was the greatest NFL player of all time.
I have to say the NFC Championship game against the Bears was pretty great – he didn't have one of his best games ever, but he had that tackle on Urlacher after he threw the INT. That was a pretty great moment – showed the grit that we've almost come to take for granted now.
Also worth mentioning: his second game as a starter, a road win over the Lions in 09/2009. The offense was unconscious in the first half, but needed a few pick-sixes to cover for the defense blowing the lead.
He was very good in our Week 3 loss at Chicago in 2010. Fantastic showcase of taking what the defense gives you against the two-high safety look. Rushing TD to put Packers up late, and may have led a game-winning comeback drive had JJ not fumbled. (That rout of the Cowboys on SNF two weeks after the Vikings game you mention was also pretty friggin' awesome.)
That Week 1 win against the Saints was pretty impressive last year. Trying to think of others…
The game against the Falcons is the best play from a qb I have ever seen (I know these weren't ranked, Zach – just my little addition). That was, without a doubt, the most ridiculous dismantling of a DAMN good Falcons team that I'd ever seen. I watch highlights from that game about once every two months because it is still, and shall forever remain, one of the most entertaining displays of skill, athleticism, and epitomizes being in "the zone" more than anything I've ever seen on a football field. Just amazing.
Meanwhile Tramon was relegating "Matty Ice" to the second tier.
Isn't it great there is only one sub-par playoff performance so far? We could probably do a 12 stinkiest playoff ending QB performances and it borderline that AR is on the list.
That game, like the others is on a DVD. BUT, that game is also still eating up space on my DVR (along with the SB). Just can't get rid of it… I watch it, and I feel… Better.
the SB and the atlanta game are both still on my DVR too. My wife always asks to erase them and I tell her its me or the 2 games on the DVR baby, take or leave it!-
Damn straight 'Stache!
Agreed and have it on tape. Watched it many times. It certainly is a candidate for best performance by any QB ever.
For me the Arizona game was the best performance I have ever seen. The throw to Jennings where he toe tapped on the sideline was incredible.
He was absolutely filthy that game, as was the big fella. Still pissed no FM called in OT… That was a SB team the way they played that day. Aside from the disgraceful defense that is.
i was also at this game…it was freakin' exhilarating and then incredibly defeating. i was working that day, so didn't get in to the stadium until the packers were down two scores (14-0, i believe)…but my buddy and i were like "oh well, we'll at least see our favorite team in a playoff game" – neither of us lived in wisconsin anymore, and i wasn't getting back often then. as the game went on my heart just kept pounding harder and harder cause you could feel like something special was going on – #12 was on fire (unfortunately, so was Warner) – and some of those scores were ridiculous. we were also sitting right by the OT play that ended the game. heart broken. but great game.
Week 1, 2009 CHI @ GB.
After an entire year and offseason of "Aaron Rodgers is a great QB but can't win late"……Rodgers connects deep on 3rd and short (in what is now a signature play call) to come from behind and beat the bears with less than 2 minutes left.
That was when he grew up. that was his real coming out party. He went from Boy to Man in one throw.
Yeah, that was a good one in a really tight, tough game.
It was about the game, not the numbers.
My fav has to be the first playoff win of his career. If only because I was at that game. It was not Ar's best game but he took what the defense gave him and came away with the W. A playoff win is a playoff win no matter how ugly. But he got hit pretty hard in that game and the crowd was as fierce as I have even heard but he just kept it together and made huge throws. The Tramon INT was right in front of my seats and as soon as he caught it my eyes found 12 on the sideline. He looked every bit like a giddy kid. And so was I. If the team had won that cardinals game then it would be #1 in my book. That game was epic.
To me the best game ARod ever played was SB45. After re-watching it a couple of times (this time sober), I couldn't help but notice that the Steelers for the most part outplayed the Packers. Outside of three Steeler turnovers and the play of Jennings and ARod the Pack probably lose. The third and 10 pass to Jennings in the fourth quarter was the stuff of legends.
It may have been the most impressive game played by any QB in the SB if you ask me.
That throw was so precise, and sooo clutch, best throw of his career imo. If he'd of hit that same throw to Jennings in Zona, in OT, well, that wouldn't have sucked… So close.
Yep Fitz, Hit the throw to Greg and end the wild card game and that might have been a SB team too. I have a love hate relationship with that game.
totally forgot about that throw…hot damn…what could have been!
Zach could've put like 10 other games on this list, and nobody would've complained. Hell, we threw them all in the comments. That's how good this guy is — as fans, we're fortunate.
For me it's the 26 December 2010 game vs. the Gints. 45-17. Rodgers: 25 for 37 attempts, 404 yds, 4 TDs 0 INT in a must-win game.
Eli throwing 4 INTs made the game even more enjoyable.
I treated myself and 3 of my old childhood friends to tickets for that game (thanks to Kyle for the tickets!), and it was a horrible football game, but an absolute BLAST for a Packers fan.
I really think the previous week's near-win with Flynn starting vs. the Pats at the almost-impossible-to-win-at Gillette stadium was the catalyst for the Packers Superbowl run (We're nobody's underdog", but that Giants game was a definite statement game. I am very happy to have been in attendance that night.
How about the Game in Pittsburg in '09. I know they lost that game but thats the game when you really saw the gunslinger come out of AR. He got pummelled to open the game but the u see those wild west gunslinger eyes and he smiles at the defense and throws a TD pass to Greg.
I don't ever want to hear anyone romanticize a Packers' QB as a gunslinger ever again.
We Packers fans have seen a gunslinger, and we're now seeing what an intelligent QB does for a team.. I don't ever want to see Rodgers become a "Gunslinger". It's a dirty word in my book, and I think it should be for all Packers fans.
Give me a guy with an arm who knows patience and makes smart decisions over a guy who makes stupid, risky throws for his own glory anyday.
great stuff. I'd add Giants regular season game in '10 after the concussion. Rodgers was an absolute monster in a must-win game.
We were at the Dallas game in 2007. During the warmups, before returning to the sidelines, Rodgers went to the back of the endzone just yards away from us, stood on the Dallas star in the corner, feet together, arms outstretched. Several Dallas fans nearby went a little crazy, and asked me (I had on a Packers shirt and hat) who Rodgers was. I provided his name, and said he was the backup QB. They sneered, "You mean he's not even a starter?!"
This was during the time that Favre hadn't missed a start since 1992. No wonder they were cheering for the Cowboys- clueless and classless. -
If he plays good and beats the Bears on Sunday, it will automatically be one of my favorite A-Rodge performances.
To all of u who get to go to games every year….suck it haha jk. I live in wv and have seen Brent play in one game at home (a loss to the saints in 07). But I have seen Aaron play away twice. Once in Cleveland 3 years ago and once in 2010 against the Eags game 1 of THE season. The game where the Eagles were wearin the throwbacks and clay destroyed Kolb and gave him a concussion and also sacked Vick. Best play was between 12 n 85 though. Decent pass to Greg a little behind him n high and he leaps and makes a sick one handed catch remember? Better than that was when the game was over the players ran off the field to the tunnel (exactly where our seats were) and Cwood threw my ex his gloves…..pretty sweet.
One not mentioned was the 2011 NFC championship game in Chicago when Rodgers came out pitching to Greg Jennings on the first drive and embarrassing the Bores at home.

Balancy and subtle for the first three bolts. Precise and sequential footwork is necessary. The next three bolts are easier climbing on cool flat and occasionally incut edges.

Non-profit: 19 housing units available for every single homeless person in Kent County
A non-profit group in Grand Rapids is re-energizing its effort to get people who are homeless into permanent homes.
Well House has been around since the late 1970s. About a year ago, the non-profit emergency homeless shelter Well House was in danger of closing. That's when its new executive director Tami VandenBerg pushed the group to switch gears and provide permanent homes instead.
"If you're in an emergency shelter, it is unbelievably challenging to get a job, take any medications, or stop using or reduce using substances. It's just virtually impossible," VandenBerg said.
She did some research, and recently discovered there are 19 housing units available for every one homeless person in Kent County; that's based on numbers from the Grand Rapids Association of Realtors and the Grand Rapids Coalition to End Homelessness.
"I was shocked," VandenBerg said of the numbers, "I knew there was a lot of housing but I had no idea that it was that extensive."
On Monday Well House kicks off a campaign to highlight that, and to raise money to buy more vacant houses to renovate.
"It's not an issue of we don't have houses available. We have houses. But for whatever reason, the way we're arranging ourselves as a society, people are not able to access those houses," VandenBerg said.
VandenBerg says Well House has very few restrictions. No sobriety test, no employment requirements. All its tenants pay at least $250 dollars a month in rent. It covers gas, electric, water and some food.
Plus, Well House offer job opportunities to residents. Many are offered jobs helping to renovate more houses for Well House or farm the plots and orchards the organization maintains.
"I call it the triple threat because we're getting people off the street. We're giving them employment opportunities to help fix up houses. And we're also doing neighborhood revitalization because we have these homes. The one we just finished had been vacant for years," VandenBerg said.
Right now the group houses 15 people. There are at least 45 people more on a waiting list.
They own four houses, have purchased a fifth, and have funds to buy and renovate two more by the end of next summer.

Ramadan head-rush: Ferrari versus date tree
A speeding Ferrari driver died when he lost control of his sports car and hit a date tree slicing the vehicle in half.
Prosecutor Salah Bu Farousha Al Felasi, head of Dubai Traffic Prosecution, said the 20-year-old Indian motorist died at the scene at 1am on Sunday in Dubai's Motor City.
"He was driving at high speed and his car slipped into the opposite lane and then skidded onto a grass area for 67m until it hit a tree, according to a witness who saw the accident," Al Felasi said in statement.
The witness pulled the motorist from the wreckage before the vehicle burst into flames, however the driver was already dead.
Police said two people have died on the roads since the start of Ramadan. "The first one was a 21-year-old Emirati man who died on the Hatta Road."
