RAR is a proprietary[3] archive file format that supports data compression, error recovery and file spanning. It was developed by a Russian software engineer, Eugene Roshal (the name RAR stands for Roshal ARchive) and the RAR software is licensed by win.rar GmbH.[4]
File format[edit]
The filename extensions used by RAR are
.rar for the data volume set and
.rev for the recovery volume set. Previous versions of RAR split large archives into several smaller files, creating a "multi-volume archive". Numbers were used in the file extensions of the smaller files to keep them in the proper sequence. The first file used the extension
.rar, then
.r00 for the second, and then
.r02, etc.
RAR compression applications and libraries (including GUI based WinRAR application for Windows, console rar utility for different OSes and others) are proprietary software, to which Alexander L. Roshal,[3] the elder brother of Eugene Roshal, owns the copyright. Version 3 of RAR is based on Lempel-Ziv (LZSS) and prediction by partial matching (PPM) compression, specifically the PPMd implementation of PPMII by Dmitry Shkarin.[5]
The minimum size of a RAR file is 20 bytes. The maximum size of a RAR file is 9,223,372,036,854,775,807 (263-1) bytes, which is 8 exbibytes minus 1 byte.[6]
The RAR file format revision history:
- v1.3 (original, does not have "Rar!" signature)
- v1.5
- v2.0 - released with WinRAR 2.0 and Rar for MS-DOS 2.0 features the following changes:
- Multimedia compression for true color bitmap images and uncompressed audio.
- Up to 1MB compression dictionary.
- Introduces archives data recovery protection record.
- v2.91 - released in WinRAR version 3.00. Feature changes in this version include:
- File extensions is changed from {volume name}.rar, {volume name}.r00, {volume name}.r01, etc. to {volume name}.part001.rar, {volume name}.part002.rar, etc.
- Encryption of both file data and file headers.
- Improves compression algorithm using 4MB dictionary size, Dmitry Shkarin's PPMII algorithm for file data,
- Optional encryption algorithm is changed from cipher block chaining (CBC) mode to 128-bit AES.
- Optional creation of "recovery volumes" (.rev files) with redundancy data, which can be used to reconstruct missing files in a volume set.
- Support for archive files larger than 9 GB.
- Support for Unicode file names stored in UTF-16 little endian format.
- v5.0 - supported by WinRAR 5.0 and later. Changes in this version:
- Maximum compression dictionary size increased to 1 GB. (default on WinRAR v5 is 32 MB and WinRAR v4 is 4 MB)
- Maximum path length for files in RAR and ZIP archives is increased up to 2048 characters.
- Support for Unicode file names stored in UTF-8 format.
- Faster compression and decompression.
- Multicore decompression support.
- Greatly improves recovery.
- Optional AES encryption increased from 128-bit to 256-bit.
- Optional 256-bit BLAKE2 file hash instead of a default 32-bit CRC32 file checksum.
- Optional duplicate file detection.
- Optional NTFS hard and symbolic links.
- Optional Quick Open Record. Rar4 archives had to be parsed before opening as file names were spread throughout the archive, slowing operation particularly with slower devices such as optical drives, and reducing the integrity of damaged archives. Rar5 can optionally create a "quick open record", a special archive block at the end of the file that contains the names of files included, allowing archives to be opened faster.
- Removes specialized text, multimedia, and Itanium executables compression algorithms; consequently some files of these types compress better with WinRAR 4.2 (Rar4) than WinRAR 5.0 (Rar5).
1 WinRAR 5.0 and RAR for Android refer to this format as RAR4.
Creating RAR files[edit]
RAR files can be created only with commercial software WinRAR, RAR, and other software that has written permission from Alexander Roshal or shares copyrighted code under license from Alexander Roshal. The software license agreements forbid reverse engineering.[3] Graphical WinRAR is available for Windows. Console RAR application is available for Mac OS X, Linux, FreeBSD. Only WinRAR for Windows and Rar for Linux are available as native 64-bit applications. There is a native fully functional Android application called "RAR for Android".[7]
Extracting RAR files[edit]
Several programs can unpack the file format. RARLAB distributes the source code and binaries for a freeware command-line "unrar" program,[8] although this code is not under a free software license. This program can decompress/extract, but not create, RAR files.
The Unarchiver is a free software unarchiver for RAR and other formats, licensed under the LGPL. It runs on Mac OS X and the command line version, unar, also runs on Windows and Linux. It supports all versions of the RAR archive format including RAR3.[9][10]
PeaZip is a free software RAR unarchiver for Windows, licensed under the LGPL. PeaZip also runs as RAR extractor on Linux and BSD, with GUI.
An older version of the unrar source was the basis for an obsolete free software unarchiving library called "unrarlib", licensed under the GPL, but it could only decompress archives created by RAR versions prior to 2.9. Archives created by RAR 2.9 and later use a different format that is not supported by this library.
Older Operating Systems support[edit]
As with most software, the latest archive tools no longer support older operating systems. The following historical information is useful for supporting older versions of Windows (including Wine on Linux) and MS-DOS (including FreeDOS).
- WinRAR v5.x (current version) supports Windows XP and later.
- WinRAR v4.11 is the last version that supports Windows 2000.[11]
- WinRAR v3.93 is the last version that supports Windows 95, 98, ME, NT.[11]
- RAR v3.93 is the last version that supports MS-DOS and OS/2 on 32-bit CPU, such as 80386 and later. It supports long file names in a Windows DOS box (except Windows NT), and uses the RSX DPMI extender.[12]
- RAR v2.50 is the last version that supports MS-DOS and OS/2 on 16-bit CPU, such as 8086 and 80286.[12]

text: I've got to agree here. As someone who aspires to be a musician and has absolutely no desire to compose poetry or story it almost seems a bit of a relief to admit to not being a bard by these standards. So many bardic competitions discourage, if not completely exclude, those with no desire to write. I enjoy the music and I love doing a bit of research and performing a period piece but if that is outside the realm of bardic than I'm happier out of the competition. I guess I'm old enough that I give myself permission to avoid things I don't enjoy--mainly performing my own medioucre at best but usually lousey poetry.

- 1Nov 21, '12 by LovetheERI just got off the phone with LAHC's nursing office and was told that e-mails were sent out yesterday for people who are accepted, declined or alternates. I said there's no way, a bunch of us are waiting and haven't received any notification yet. The woman who answers all calls for the nursing department is out until Monday, and I'm wondering if she will send the notifications when she's back. Grrrrr.
Anyway, just keeping you all updated! Happy Thanksgiving!

I recently installed new windows in my FL condo. I had two duck strikes into the picture window in the first week. I then purchased two of the wind spinners and hung the on a bird feed pole in front of the window, and no more bird strikes. Also they look nice in front of the window when the wind causes them to spin.
This little gem is absolutely lovely and adds a beautiful focal point to a yard or garden. I plan to purchase several more.

Evian Water produces viral video of Spider-Man dancing with mini version

Updated On: Apr 02 2014 06:21:42 PM EDT
In a new viral video produced by Evian Water, "The Amazing Spider Man 2" steals the show as Spider Man flips his way through downtown before encountering a mirror mini-image of himself.
Spider Man seems confused at first, but once he's sure it's the real deal he challenges his mini-image to a dance battle.
The video is a sequel to an original "Baby & Me" that was released a year ago. The original video features adults encountering themselves in mirrors, and then dancing with the miniature versions of themselves.

|Brief Summary
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the tolerability and safety of 25 percent human albumin therapy in patients with subarachnoid hemorrhage.
|Detailed Description
An estimated 37,500 people in the United States have subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) every year. SAH is usually secondary to a brain aneurysm that has burst. In SAH the bleeding accumulates around the lining of the brain. SAH is associated with a 51percent mortality rate, and one third of survivors are left functionally dependent. Cerebral vasospasm, which is a delayed narrowing of the cerebral arteries following SAH, has been identified as the most important reason for neurological deterioration and bad outcome in cases of SAH. Cerebral vasospasm may be caused by multiple mechanisms.
Treatment with a neuroprotective agent, such as human albumin (HA), may be beneficial for prevention of cerebral vasospasm and improved clinical outcome in patients with SAH. HA is a major protein found in blood and is responsible for maintaining fluid balance in the vascular system (blood vessels). The purpose of this study is to determine the safety and tolerability of 25 percent HA therapy in patients with SAH. This open-label, dose-escalation study will provide necessary information for a future definitive phase III clinical trial on the efficacy of treatment with HA in patients with SAH.
The study will enroll 80 patients at 5 centers in the US. Patients with eligible SAH will first undergo surgical or endovascular repair, which is considered standard care. Endovascular repair is a repair of the aneurysm from the inside of the blood vessel.
Following neurosurgical or endovascular treatment, participants will be given a daily infusion of HA for 7 days. The HA dose will be allocated as follows: the first tier (20 patients) will receive 0.625 grams (g) of HA per kilogram (kg) of body weight; patients in the second tier will receive 1.25g of HA per kg; patients in the third tier will receive 1.875g of HA per kg; and patients in the fourth tier will receive 2.5g of HA per kg. Safety and tolerability will be evaluated by the Data and Safety Monitoring Board (DSMB) after each tier is completed and before the study advances to the next dose tier. A specific safety threshold for congestive heart failure and other adverse events has been defined based on data from previous studies.
In the follow-up phase, patients will participate in study-related evaluations of their health at 15 days and three months. Duration of the study for participants is 90 days.

One last hurrah!
- a
- aburkavage Jun 18, 2009 09:14 AM
In a few months I'll be leaving DC, and I'm looking for a proper meal to send me and my special lady friend off - preferably at a restaurant we haven't been to yet . Price isn't really an issue, as long as it's a fantastic experience. I just made a reservation at CityZen, but I'm willing to cancel and look elsewhere if ya'll think there's a better option.
In the running are Obelisk, Rasika, Restaurant Eve, 2941, and The Source. Are any of these better options than CityZen?
Places out of the running because I've already been (or couldn't get a reservation - I'm looking at you Minibar) are Central, Citronelle, Minibar, Komi, Proof, Palena, BlackSalt, 1789, Corduroy, Vidalia, and PS7.
Thanks for all your help, gang!
Volt's Table 21 (exactly 21 courses) and Teatro Goldoni's Chef's Table.
At Volt, your table is right next to the kitchen and the kitchen is next to the dining room, so you'll be in the peripheral vision of other diners trying to get a glimpse of the kitchen. At TG, you're next to the kitchen but the kitchen is separately from the dining room, thus giving you much more privacy.
Teatro Goldoni's menu can be seen http://www.donrockwell.com/index.php?...
Volt's menu can be seen http://www.donrockwell.com/index.php?...
re: Ericandblueboy
I'm almost embarrassed to admit that I didn't know a thing about Table 21 at Volt. That looks ridiculous! I think it just made its way onto the shortlist.
I had a pretty miserable meal in Teatro's regular dining room, so I'm a little hesitant to go back, but I'll admit those pictures are tempting me!
In order...
Obelisk: I've given this place three tries. While I've never had a bad meal, I've never eaten anything that remotely qualifies as a last hurrah meal.
Rasika: Love this place, but doesn't qualify for a last hurrah meal.
Restaurant Eve/Tasting Menu: I know others will write to tell you this would be their choice; I don't agree. I was impressed with the technical skill of each dish but I didn't think any dish was worthy of a wow. There was a thread recently about the excessive time and slow pace of the tasting meals. (If you're only talking about The Bistro, that shouldn't even be an option. That's a lovely place to go for an ordinary Saturday night. Not last hurrah caliber.)
2941: I waver on this place. I love the setting, especially the art. I've had excellent-but-predictable meals that make me wish the chef would be more innovative. However, just when I'm ready to put this restaurant into the safe-for-guests-with-timid-palates, I eat a meal that simply blows me away.
The Source: no personal information.
I've had three meals at CityZen and I've adored each one.
The one place I don't seen on your list is Marcel's. I think this place is a French equal to CityZen. If I were in the mood for an Asian-trending meal, I'd go with CityZen. If I were in the mood for a French-trending meal, I'd go with Marcel's. (Incidentally, you'll have total control over your meal at Marcel's. You get to specify how many courses you want and what you want to eat for each course.)
re: Indy 67
Thanks for the input, Indy. Marcel's has made its way into the list!
re: aburkavage
CityZen and Marcel's are two of my absolute favorite restaurants and, based on the food alone, I would have a hard time choosing between them. Both serve outstanding, excellent food. Indy's description of the Asian or French leaning of each is good. Both also have excellent service -- best in the city. Where they differ greatly, however, is in ambiance. Marcel's is very elegant, romantic, quiet, dim lights -- almost like a restaurant from another era. CityZen is loud, trendier -- definitely a restaurant of this era. The decision really comes down to, what appeals to you more?
re: Lauman
That's very helpful, Lauman.
For better or worse, I've always thought of Marcel's as being a place I'd take my grandparents out to dinner. While I'm sure the food is outstanding, I think CityZen may be a little closer to the ambiance we're looking for.
re: Lauman
I read your take on Marcel's and CityZen with interest. I agree with the adjectives "elegant, romantic, quiet, dim lights." However, as I've looked at my fellow diners, I've seen enough younger people in the mix to believe that Marcel's is doing something right to appeal to this generation.
Incidentally, I think the food since Marcel's converted to a tasting menu strategy is more modern. Sure the classics are still offered, but there are lots of lightened, innovative options available now.
I also agree that CityZen is trendier -- a restaurant of this era -- but I strenuously object to the description "loud." I'm old enough to be your parent and possibly old enough to be your grandparent. I love CityZen, but I couldn't love it -- not at the prices they charge -- if the place were truly loud. I eat in plenty of loud restaurants; Oyamel prior to a concert at Verizon Center is a prime example. But these are places I go to eat not places I go to dine. Whenever, I eat at CityZen, I think of Armani trendy. Sleek. Sophisticated. Modern. But not loud!
re: Indy 67
I did not mean to imply that the food at Marcel's was old-fashioned. Not at all. Quite the opposite. The food is up to date, the ambiance is of a different era. Frankly, I love the ambiance, but it may not be for everyone.
Completely agree with your description of CityZen. However, in our several visits there we've been seated next to the kitchen and the noise level was such that we had a hard time hearing the server describe each dish, as well as a hard time talking to each other at our table.
I know that a view of the kitchen is normally considered a good thing. However, at CityZen, I don't think it's all that. You can't really see what they're doing and the lights and noise are intrusive.
I haven't been to CityZen but it would be on my short list for last blowout meals because I hear such great things about it. Same goes for Obelisk.
That being said I think Restaurant Eve is possibly one of the Top 5 restaurants in the area. It's different then the other 2 discussed above. Can you only choose one?
Also maybe it depends on where you are moving to. If you are going some place where Indian is hard to find you might want to try Rasika. But in all honesty I don't think it can compare to Restaurant Eve. It was very good, but in a different category all together.
re: Elyssa
I'm moving to Chicago, and while I don't know specifically about the Indian food scene there, I'm going to assume that there are at least a few good options! I need to get to Rasika before I leave, but I don't know if it's right for this occasion.
How about Inox? Chef Jonathan Krinn was the original chef at 2941. Place has just been open a few months. Great food in a beautiful setting.
I've never been to the Tasting Room at Restaurant Eve, but I prefer the regular menu at Restaurant Eve to Cityzen or most any experience at any of the restaurants you listed. I'm sure you could look it up online.
We went to CityZen for the second time a few weeks ago b/c we received a very generous gift certificate from a friend. The first time we went (about a year ago), we chose the 3-course pre-fixe menu and absolutely loved it. Needless to say, when we received the gift last month, we were ecstatic. This time, we opted for the chef's tasting menu...we were sooooo disappointed. Only one of our courses, the scallops, stood out...everything else was just pretty average. I can't really put my finger on it but nothing was exceptional, which is what I expect for the cost and reputation. I will certainly say that if we didn't have a gift certificate which paid for the majority of our meal, we would have been very upset. Sadly, I don't think we'll be returning...there are just too many other great restaurants that are more affordable.
Of course, I freely admit, that that was one expereince....again, our first experience was incredible and the majority of reviews are overwhelmingly positive. Just thought I'd give my two cents.
I would recommend the tasting room at Eve...we went there in April for my husband's birthday and thoroughly enjoyed it.
I am a huge fan of Rasika...if you go, do the tasting menu. I also LOVE Obelisk. However, I don't know if either are worthy of your last hurrah. They're both great but not quite on the same level as Eve, Citronelle, etc.
I've only been to the Source for lunch and it was fantastic.
We are going to Marcel's for the first time this wknd (very excited). I will definitely be reporting back.
Never been to 2941.
re: joann.hill12
I'm sorry to hear about your experience, joann! I think right now I'm leaning toward sitting at the bar at CityZen ($50 3-course sounds very reasonable), and then doing a big blowout meal elsewhere. I'm tempted by the 21 course meal at Volt, but I think the tasting room at Eve may be the front runner.

Opening Speech at the Africa China Poverty Reduction and Development Seminar "China's SEZs and Poverty Reduction"
Shenzhen, 9 January 2012
By Mr. Christophe Bahuet, Country Director, UNDP China,
Your Excellency Mr. Zheng Wenkai,
Your Excellency Mr. Hailemeskel Tefera
Senior Official, Shenzhen City Government (TBD)
Shenzhen University representative (TBD)
Distinguished delegates,
Dear colleagues,
It is a great pleasure for me on behalf of UNDP to join you today at this important seminar, which brings together China and Africa and aims at sharing the lessons and experiences in developing Special Economic Zones and the impact they can have on development, and particularly on poverty reduction. I would like to extend a warm welcome to our African friends. I wish to thank the International Poverty Reduction Center of China (IPRCC), a long-standing partner of UNDP in South-South cooperation, for co-hosting this seminar and for its central role in designing it. I also want to express my appreciation to the Municipal Government of Shenzhen and Shenzhen University for their hospitality and the excellent organization of this event. It is most meaningful and appropriate that this seminar takes place in Shenzhen, a SEZ which is certainly one of the most powerful examples of China's transformation.
UNDP is very strongly committed to an effective South-South cooperation and in that context we believe that exchange of experience between China and Africa is highly relevant and mutually beneficial. As one of the founding members of IPRCC, UNDP is honoured to co-host such a seminar and greatly appreciates the presence in Shenzhen today of officials, experts and professionals from Africa and China. I am confident that this seminar will provide you with an opportunity to share views and insights, and will generate new and concrete ideas to address development challenges at home.
We all know that China has achieved remarkable progress in development and poverty reduction since its initiated in-depth reform in 1979. Its rapid economic growth in the last three decades is the largest sustained GDP growth in human history. Most importantly, this growth has translated into improved human development and it has lifted hundreds of millions of people out of poverty, allowing China to reach well in advance the first Millennium Development Goal of halving poverty.
It is recognized that the Special Economic Zones have been a key factor in China's successful reform and development process. They have been the experimental field for the new economic system put in place and have succeeded in playing a catalytic role, the results of which can be seen in today's China. Shenzhen as the earliest "window" of China's reform and opening up transformed itself from a fishing village into a metropolis. My last visit to Shenzhen was in 1988, and there is little I can recognize in the city today. You have probably sensed the atmosphere of its fast development in the city tour you made yesterday.
China's Special Economic Zones are not only part of the country's historical transformation. They also offer many valuable experiences and lessons for other developing countries in terms of overall macro-policy, sectoral strategies, specific mechanisms for industrial development and employment creation, as well as responses to the challenges that have emerged. We also realize that China's SEZs have not been a standalone panacea, and that they cannot by themselves fast-track the development process without an enabling environment and appropriate national policies being in place. Clearly there has been a sequence in China's development and it is hoped that both the exchange during the seminar with Chinese experts and the field visits will allow participants to know more of more about the economic and social, the rural and urban reforms, which China undertook and which laid a foundation to make the SEZs in China successful.
For all these reasons, I am delighted that IPRCC and UNDP have included the topic of SEZs in their close and fruitful cooperation. I see this in the context of the agreement that UNDP and the Government of China signed in September 2010 to further strengthen our long-standing partnership in South-South cooperation. As an early outcome under this partnership, the China-Africa Poverty Reduction and Development Conference was held in November 2010 hosted by IPRCC, UNDP and the Government of Ethiopia. This Africa-China Poverty Reduction and Development Seminar is another milestone and the first occasion at which IPRCC and UNDP are working together to invite African participants through the UNDP Regional Bureau for Africa in New York and the network of UNDP Country Offices in Africa. In this sense, this seminar is a pilot project.
We hope that this seminar, which we jointly designed with inputs from our African counterparts, will meet the expectations we all have and we will be very keen to hear your feedback, including on ideas on improvements that can be made in the future. We also hope that this seminar, focusing on concrete and direct exchange of experiences and practices between China and African countries, will lead to follow-up actions and additional valuable exchanges in the future, which UNDP in China and in Africa stands ready to facilitate.
With your presence and insights, UNDP feels fully confident that this seminar will lead to a useful exchange on good practices, opportunities and challenges for Special Economic Zones in developing countries.
I wish you a very successful seminar, and would like to extend to all participants my best wishes for a Happy New Year 2012, and for the approaching Spring festival and Chinese Year of the Dragon!
Thank you.
na's� i��(r�ple. Let us therefore celebrate our successes, but let us make sure that we also use them as motivators in our pursuit of the future we all want to see.
Thank You!
r:#3333�Is-�#�(r�ing:0pt;mso-ansi-language: EN-US'>As stated in the Working Report delivered by Premier Wen Jiabao to the recently concluded National People Congress, China is now entering the "deeper waters" of reforms. Reforms around urbanisation will be crucial for China's long-term prosperity and stability, and UNDP is privileged to have developed cooperation with the China Centre for Urban Development to contribute to China's urbanisation strategies. I am also particularly encouraged by the presence of so many decision makers and practitioners at all levels here, as well as the numerous top Chinese and international scholars providing valuable insights into the challenges of China's urbanisation process, identifying the best strategies to combine harmonious and successful urbanisation and human development for all.
Thank you for your attention, and my best wishes for the success of the forum.

Stress Taste, Not Health When Talking to Toddlers About Food
The more you push healthy food because it's healthy, the less kids want to eat it.
The message is loud and clear: If healthy food were good, we'd talk about how good it was. But we don't, we talk about how healthy it is.
This is what I call the Medicalization of the Meal. Ever give broccoli the Chocolate Cake Look? You know what I mean!
Read Junk Food=Yum, Healthy Food=Yuk,
Here's the theory: We're talking about Experiential Benefits vs Instrumental Benefits.
You can enjoy food because...
- It's a good experience (i.e. it tastes good). This is called an Experiential Benefit.
- It is instrumental in advancing another goal. This is called an instrumental Benefit.
Research shows that when people focus on an activity's instrumental benefit, they enjoy it less.
You might think that you could "sell" healthy food by talking up both its experiential and its instrumental benefits: "Yummmm, this broccoli is so tasty. It's also really good for you!"
But research shows that people believe if something will help them achieve an instrumental benefit, it can't also be effective in achieving a positive experience.
Here's the study.
Three different groups of 4-5 year old preschoolers are told a story during which Tara eats Wheat Thins either because they're healthy, they're tasty, or for no specific reasons.
- In the healthy condition, "Tara felt strong and healthy, and she had all the energy..."
- In the yummy condition, "Tara thought the crackers were yummy, and she was happy..."
The healthy=bad effect happened and we're talking about crackers, not carrots.
After hearing the story, the children were offered a chance to eat Wheat Thins crackers.
- Children in the "healthy" group ate fewer crackers than children in the "yummy" or the "no-story" group.
- There was no difference in consumption between the "yummy" and the "no-story" group
The researchers replicated this study with younger children. They also replaced the "healthy" message with other instrumental messages, such as: These carrots will help you learn to read!
And the results were the same: kids don't want to eat food that is instrumental. They want to eat food that is tasty.
(Don't worry, they told the kids afterwards that eating carrots wouldn't help them read!)
What's the takeaway? You are better off saying nothing than saying "it's good for you."
But there's plenty of research that shows that talking about the sensory properties of food is better than saying nothing.
So make sure you keep talking to your kids about food. Just switch what you talk about from health to taste.
For more on how to talk about food, read Teaching Your Way ouf of a Picky Eating Problem with Sensory Education.
~Changing the conversation from nutrition to habits.~

In the space of three days last week two prominent human rights defenders in Saudi Arabia received harsh prison sentences.

President Museveni may be congratulating himself on the basis that having refused to sign the Anti Homosexuality Bill into law he can somehow position himself as a champion of human rights in Uganda. At the same time we in the international human rights community may be feeling that we have scored some kind of victory.
I am so very sad to hear of the death of Seamus Heaney. This giant of a man had a profound understanding of how human rights were enmeshed in and inseparable from daily living.

Career NFL statistics as of Week 17, 2013
Justin Paul Tucker (born November 21, 1989) is an American football placekicker for the Baltimore Ravens of the National Football League (NFL). He was signed by the Ravens as an undrafted free agent in 2012. He played college football at the University of Texas. He graduated from Westlake High School, near Austin.[1] On January 3, 2014, Tucker was named 1st team All-Pro. [2]
Tucker played college football at the University of Texas. In 2011, concluding a 118 game rivalry with Texas A&M University and The University of Texas, Tucker kicked the game winning field goal as time expired. Texas (then ranked #25) won, 27-25.[3] He played in the 2008 U.S. Army All-American Bowl.
An undrafted free agent in the 2012 NFL Draft, Tucker was not selected by any of the 32 teams. However, the Baltimore Ravens signed him on May 29, 2012 to begin workouts and camp for the Ravens alongside placekicker Billy Cundiff.[4] After impressive showings and accurate field goals during the team's preseason games, Tucker earned the starting job as the Ravens official placekicker upon Cundiff's release from his contract with Baltimore on August 26, 2012.[5]
In his debut season, Tucker proved to be a very accurate kicker, making all 42 of his PAT attempts while missing only 3 out of his 35 Field Goals. During Week 3 against the New England Patriots, Tucker kicked a game winning field goal with 2 seconds left, giving the Ravens a 31-30 victory and their first ever Regular Season victory over the Patriots.
On January 12, 2013, during the divisional playoff round game against the Denver Broncos, Tucker kicked a 47-yard field goal in double-overtime to win the game (later known as the Mile High Miracle) and sent the Ravens to the AFC championship for the second consecutive year.[6] During the 2nd quarter of Super Bowl XLVII against the San Francisco 49ers, Tucker failed in converting the first fake field goal attempt in Super Bowl history, coming up just one yard short of the nine needed for the first down. Nonetheless, the Ravens went on to win the game, giving Tucker his first Super Bowl ring.
The following 2013 season, despite missing two field goals in Week 2 against the Cleveland Browns, Tucker continued his success as an accurate kicker for the Ravens. He kicked the game winning field goal in overtime against the Cincinnati Bengals, letting the Ravens win 20-17. Tucker was then named AFC Special Teams Player of the Month for November. On Thanksgiving, Tucker kicked five field goals en route to the Ravens 22-20 win against the Pittsburgh Steelers. He was also selected as the player of the game along with Jacoby Jones by John Madden. He brought his holder, Sam Koch and long snapper, Morgan Cox, to accept the award on screen with him.
Tucker kicked a franchise record-tying six field goals that were the Ravens' only points in an 18-16 win against the Detroit Lions in a Monday Night Football game at Ford Field in Detroit on December 16, including a personal (and franchise) record 61-yard field goal in the last minute to seal the victory. During the game, Tucker became the first NFL kicker to kick a field goal in the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 60s in the same game. Tucker's 61 yard field goal also set the NFL record for longest field goal in a domed stadium.[7] Tucker was elected to his first Pro Bowl to end the 2013 season. He was also voted 1st team All-Pro by AP voters.[8]
Tucker is a practicing Roman Catholic and makes the sign of the cross before every kick.[9][10] He is currently engaged to girlfriend Amanda.[11]

Tue, Feb 08, 2005
HeliExpo 2005 is turning
out to be a "big money" show.
Bell/Agusta Aerospace Company made a justifiably big deal out of
an agreement with SEACOR Holdings Inc. SEACOR placed an order for
20 AB139 medium-twin helicopters. The ceremony took place at
Bell/Agusta's booth and is reportedly the largest order received
for the AB139 to date. The deal raises the backlog to more than 100
helicopters for over 40 customers worldwide.
"Today's order for 20 Bell/Agusta AB139s represents the
largest order for the aircraft so far," stated Managing
Director Louis Bartolotta. "SEACOR's enthusiasm for and
confidence in the AB139 solidifies its position as the ideal
medium-twin helicopter for offshore applications."
Delivery of SEACOR's 20 AB139s will commence later this year and
be completed by 2009. Initially, the helicopters will be used in
support of offshore oil operations in the Gulf of Mexico, but could
be deployed more widely in the future.
"SEACOR is excited about the acquisition of the
Bell/Agusta AB139 helicopter. We believe that the AB139 will give
our Era Helicopters unit a competitive advantage," said
SEACOR Holdings Vice President Edward Washecka.
"The 139 is faster and has significantly greater
payload/range capability than its competitors. We believe that the
AB139 is the medium twin turbine helicopter for the
SEACOR and its subsidiaries are engaged in the operation of a
diversified fleet of offshore support vessels that service oil and
