The system and applications that were used to test the performance of the Apogee AA5700U consist of the following:
First-Person Shooters
Third-Person Shooters
Massive Multiplayer Online Role Playing
The Unreal Tournament 2004 demo generated a lengthy discussion in our Games Forum. The retail version has the all-new Assault and Onslaught game modes and the debut of land and air based vehicles. We even ran across the Special Edition selling for almost twice the retail price on eBay.
The following timedemo results are based on 3DCenter's Flyby from the ONS-Torlan map. The Bench'emAll! utility was used to execute the timedemo at various resolutions and levels of antialiasing and anisotropic texture filtering.
NVIDIA continues to work on improving the performance of the GeForce FX in Unreal Tournament 2004, which was mentioned as the cause of the delay of the recent ForceWare Release 55 drivers. The Chaintech 5700 Ultra Apogee provides respectable performance at 1024x768 with 2X antialiasing (AA) and 2X anisotropic filtering (AF) and at 1280x1024 with no AA and no AF. However, keep in mind that the demo does not contain the high-resolution textures that are part of the retail version.

Digestive health issues are a common concern for many Americans, and some of these issues can actually be the sign of larger problems that can get worse over time if left untreated. This is especially true for those suffering from inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), about 1 to 1.3 million Americans suffer from IBD, which can take several forms. The two most common inflammatory bowel diseases are Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis. Read More

We're well aware that many of you have come here under the impression that we'll be offering information on the Virtual Memory System, and you're almost right. While we're preparing our design and resources for the new site that will reside upon this domain, we figured that we'd try to offer some of the resources that might be attractive to visitors. So when you see something about the 'original' VMS website, that's because it probably comes from there!
We've made it a point to preserve all of the original vmsone.com data for those of you who are still using links and bookmarks from several years ago, but we highly recommend that you move forward, as our website is almost ready to 'go live' and become the all-new vmsone.com!
We can't stress enough that we're not claiming any copyright or ownership over (or even much knowledge or familiarity with) the original VMS one content.
Our expertize is about developing e-commerce sites. We have built or consulted on lots of sites, but one of our favorites was not an e commerce site per se, but instead an information site about a doctor whose expertise was in sports medicine. If you have ever suffered from "tennis elbow", a type of tendinitis, medically known as lateral epicondylitis, Dr Bob Donatelli is the man to see. He has been treating tennis elbow, elbow pain, wrist pain and shoulder pain in association with tennis elbow, and golfer's elbow for the past 25 years. He has worked with not only professional athletes but also high school and college age athletes. Such untreated conditions such as medial or lateral epicondylitis that are associated with wrist pain, Tennis elbow and shoulder pain can be career ending resulting in the loss of athletic scholarships, and most importantly in the loss of the individual athlete's dreams of playing his / her favorite sport. Dr Donetelli also sells the three books he has written discussing his assessments, rehab, and exercises to help athletes with a variety of sports related injuries. One reason we were happy to work with Dr. Donatelli and his site is that several of us have suffered at one point or another from both golf and tennis related injuries and we want to exploit Dr Donatelli's expertise. NOTE: He was great and offered several of us sound advice while telling us to set up an appointment to see him the next time we were in Las Vegas, where his offices are located.
Another was an e commerce store that offered supplies for janitors and regular folks as well. They had over two thousand (2000) pages on their site selling janitorial supplies ranging from dozens of different toilet paper and their dispensers, to all sorts of cleaning containers, detergents and soaps, mops, brooms, rubber gloves to recycling containers. They had environmentally aware "green" products, and organic janitorial supplies. Whether you had a large business with a lot of cleaning staff or a small firm with only one janitor, this e-commerce site had what you're looking for. The building manager at our location even ordered their janitorial supplies from them!
And another favorite was a store that created signature gift baskets that were personalized for special occasions.
You name the occasion and they would create these fantastic looking gift baskets deigned to overflow with gourmet treats, fruits, and wine, or filled with cute baby things. They had everything you would need for a spa experience, gift baskets for dog lovers or cat lovers, sympathy gift baskets, get well gift baskets, and wedding gift baskets. They also catered to businesses with unbelievable luxury corporate gift baskets. Although the store promoted gorgeous gift baskets, the gift basket designs would range form actual baskets made from reeds, cork, leather, wood, or metal to box towers, stylish attache cases to a wine tote, among other shapes. Personalization with engraved wine glasses, mugs, pens, bookmarks, notebooks etc. could be added to the gift baskets. The best part of dealing with this gift basket company was that we received one of their luxury gift baskets on a number of the major holidays. The Christmas holiday season was probably the best, but Valentine's Day came in a close second with their gift basket full of chocolates, champagne and roses. So you can see that this site is going to create a steep learning curve for us, but we are up to the challenge.
If you're one of the original authors and you see something of yours here that you want removed, please let us know. On the other hand, if you want to contact one of the original authors, we can't really help you because we have no connection to them whatsoever. Sorry about that!
So anyway, enjoy what they did which you can, and enjoy what we're doing as we do it. Try to enjoy gift baskets. Hopefully, before too long, we'll all be doing stuff together and the world can live happily ever after or something!

Bombers - I am pushing to put Dark Souls behind me a second time (until the Astoria DLC, of course). But, I need a pal to run the Kiln with me so that I can close out my new game plus. My soul level is 160.

Comments, questions and tips
@Cilla: Wikipedia recommends risotto rice as a replacement for pudding rice. As for the golden caster sugar, it can be replaced with any kind of sugar because the nutmeg, cinnamon, orange and sherry would anyway overcome its flavor.
I used ordinary round-grain rice as that's what I had and it turned out very good, apart from the rice not remaining white as pictured (the plum juice bubbled over it).
Had it for breakfast and the serving size was just right for that purpose, but as an after-meal dessert I'd halve the serving size.

The Arizona Diamondbacks will enter the winter meetings assaying their options on additions to the rotation, the left side of the infield and the bench. General manager Kevin Towers has a resume bulging with winter-meetings deals, but that does not mean he expects to be overly active in Nashville. "You have to wheel and deal for the right guys," Towers said. One possible option for the left side appears to be Seibu Lions shortstop Hiroyuki Nakajima, who is a free agent this winter. The D-backs gave Nakajima, 30, a tour of their Chase Field facilities the day before Thanksgiving, a visit that may have simply been an information-gathering session for each side. The player and the team were not believed to have held contract talks. The D-backs got a look at Nakajima during their tour of Japan in early August last year, a trip that included president/CEO Derrick Hall, Towers, special assistant Bob Gebhard and director of Pacific Rim operations Mack Hayashi.

The political nature of Absolutism has long been a subject of controversy within historical materialism. Developing considerations advanced in Passages from Antiquity to Feudalism, this book situates the Absolutist states of the early modern epoch against the prior background of European feudalism. It is divided into two parts. The first discusses the overall structures of Absolutism as a state-system in Western Europe, from the Renaissance onwards. It then looks in turn at the trajectory of each of the specific Absolutist states in the dominant countries of the West-Spain, France, England and Sweden, set off against the case of Italy, where no major indigenous Absolutism developed. The second part of the work sketches a comparative prospect of Absolutism in Eastern Europe. The peculiarities, as well as affinities, of Eastern Absolutism as a distinct type of royal state, are examined. The variegated monarchies of Prussia, Austria and Russia are surveyed, and the lessons asked of the counter-example of Poland. Finally, the structureof the Ottoman Empire in the Balkans is taken as an external gauge by which the singularity of Absolutism as a European phenomenon is assessed. The work ends with some observations on the special position occupied by European development within universal history, which draws themes from both Passages from Antiquity to Feudalism andLineages of the Absolutist State together into a single argument-within their common limits-as materials for debate.

Viewers: in countries Watching now:
Windows 8 was a new direction for Microsoft, offering mobile integration, cloud storage, and security enhancements. But some people were unhappy with its design. Windows 8.1 answers these complaints and takes Windows a step further. In this course, David Rivers shows you all its essential features. Take a tour of the interface, review the new file and folder behaviors, and meet the most useful apps, including Calendar, Photos, Maps, and Music. David also shows how to adjust system settings like default programs and volume, work with external devices, and set up networks. The final chapters show you how to keep your computer even more secure with Access Control and Windows Defender, and how to troubleshoot potential issues, like reversing fatal crashes.
Your default environment here in Windows 8.1 is this Start screen. Many of the apps and tiles that you see on this screen will run in this environment. But there are still many programs that were not designed to run in the new Windows 8 point environment, and they will continue to run in another environment. That's what we're going to talk about now. The old desktop environment. There's a couple of different ways to get there. First of all, here on the Start screen, you will find a tile labelled, Desktop. Mine, as you can see, is a solid blue background.
You may see something different. But give it a click and you'll switch to that environment. Now this should look familiar to Windows 7 users, where you'll see the background on your desktop. You'll find the Recycle Bin in the top left corner, that's where all of the files, folder that you delete go temporarily, you might have the Exercise Files folder like me. Down at the bottom of your screen, as you move your mouse down, automatically hidden is the old task bar. And this is going to look a little bit different than it did in Windows 8.
First of all, in the bottom left hand corner we have the return of the Start button. Just simply clicking this will return us to the Start screen, so let's go ahead and do that. So there we are. Now, the desktop is actually running like any other app in the background. That means if we go to the top left hot corner We'll see a tile representing the desktop, and we can click it to flip back. Let's go back down to our taskbar. When it appears, notice there's also Internet Explorer and File Explorer icons, little shortcuts.
And of course we can customize the taskbar and add additional icons down here if we wanted to. In the bottom right hand corner, we have a keyboard icon for the touch keyboard, which will appear on your screen like a virtual keyboard. And if you have a touch screen, you can start tapping the screen to type. If you're like me, working with a standard hardware keyboard, then you won't need this. Also, the action center, network and speaker icons appear. Here you might also see the date and time. Again, fully customizable.
I'm going to change my speaker volume. I'm going to bring it down a little bit to about 37. There we go. I'll click in the background to turn that off and go back down to my task bar now and let's customize this. Let's right click Where you'll see options like displaying additional toolbars. There's that Touch keyboard. If you don't need it, you can turn it off from here. Let's right click again, and go to Properties this time. One of the properties that I like to turn off is the Auto hide.
I like to see it all the time, so I'm going to deselect that check box, and click Apply. Now it'll appear across the bottom of my screen, no matter what else is running. I don't mind having it locked to the bottom of the screen, so I can't move it, I'll leave that one checked. Other options for navigations, jump list, toolbars, just as we're accustomed to seeing in a Windows 7 environment appear here. Let's click OK, to save any changes we may have made. The other customization of course is to the background itself.
You might be seeing a new pattern. I have this solid color. Let's right click and from here we can change how we view and sort our icons on our desktop. We could also adjust the screen resolution directly from here. Just as we could in Windows 7. We can create new folders and shortcuts, but also, new files. Notice bitmap images, contacts and documents, can all be created and the appropriate accessory or program will launch, when we select one of these. We'll be doing that a little bit later as well.
For now though, let's just go to Personalize to make some changes to your desktop. You're probably looking at the default theme. Which is this gold background and for me, I prefer to go with a solid background. It's not so busy and easier to see my icons. That's why I have this sinked theme under my themes, but of course, you can create your own, save those themes and be able to use them. For example, if we go to the desktop background down below, you can choose from different images, patterns.
Let's go to picture location, click the dropdown and choose Solid colors. Now, from here you can choose a color such as solid blue. Notice it changes in the background. Save those changes and notice we have a new unsaved theme that we can save. I'm going to click Save Theme and call it David's Default and that is a theme I can now go to if I change to something different and want to come back.
Still fully customizable just like we could in Windows 7, that's our desktop environment. Now, let's just press the Windows key on the keyboard. Takes us back to the Start screen. Now press it again. It'll always take you back to the last app you were running. In this case, our Desktop. So we can toggle back and forth at the tap of a single key. The Windows key on your keyboard. Let's go back to the Start screen now, and look at a different way to get to the desktop. We'll move down to where it's the bottom left side of our screen and click the arrow that's pointing down to Display All Apps.
Now many of these have icons that you can tell will run in the new modern style in the new Windows 8.1 environment. But as we scroll over to the right, you're going to see some that looked just as they did in the old Windows 7 environment. The calculator, Notepad, for example. Let's click Notepad. Notice that this is designed to run in the old environment. It was not programmed to run in the new Windows 8.1 environment, and that's why we're sent to the Desktop to use Notepad. So off we go typing our text.
We close this up, and we're left on that old desktop environment. Let's go back to our Start screen and we'll continue from there. Now that we have a, new Start screen, a new work environment, it's good to know many of the programs that we used to use in, older versions of Windows will still work here in Windows 8.1. That will be sent back to that old desktop environment to work with them.

DOJ accused of targeting gun industry with 'Choke Point' program
DOJ accused of targeting gun industry with 'Choke Point' program - The Obama administration, after failing to get gun control passed on Capitol Hill, has resorted to using its executive power to try to put some in the firearms industry out of business, House Republican investigators say. The assertion is included in a report recently released by California GOP Rep. Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee. Citing internal Justice Department documents, the committee concluded that the administration used a program known as Operation Choke Point to target legal companies that it finds "objectionable."
Guns, the talk of the political campaign season
Guns, the talk of the political campaign season - The issue of control was once again front and center as the political campaign season heated up. At the Brunswick fire house, congressmen, senators, assemblymen, county clerks, county executives, and county sheriffs rallied, all of them believing that talking about guns and the Second Amendment will go a long way to fire up the electorate. It won't be the only issue leading up to the November election, but make no mistake, the candidates at the Brunswick fire house are counting on widespread anger that they believe was created by the New York Safe Act to lure voters to the polls.
Poll: Half of NY voters disapprove of Cuomo's handling of gun policy
Poll: Half of NY voters disapprove of Cuomo's handling of gun policy - New Yorkers are split on Gov. Andrew Cuomo's handling of gun policy, according to a poll out this morning from Quinnipiac University. Statewide, 42 percent of voters surveyed said they approve of the Democrat's gun policy, while 41 percent said they disapprove. And when voters were asked to name the main reason they were unhappy with Cuomo, 20 percent said gun control, the highest overall response to the open-ended question.
Remington to move production of two gun lines from New York to Alabama
Remington to move production of two gun lines from New York to Alabama - Two-hundred-and-eight years after Eliphalet Remington II forged his first rifle in Ilion, residents of the small central New York village are getting the bad news they have feared for more than a year: Remington Arms is moving production of two of its gun lines to Alabama. While the company did not announce the outright closing of the facility that has been home to Remington since 1816, gun rights advocates said that day is now likely moving closer and they blame the state's 2013 NY SAFE Act gun control law.
Remington Announces Corporate Consolidation
Remington Announces Corporate Consolidation - The buzz around the industry early yesterday was that Advanced Armament Corp was being closed down and relocated. Before the end of business yesterday, employees at six Remington properties along with two production lines in Ilion, New York, were told their companies- and jobs- were relocating to Huntsville, Alabama. Here's the official company statement from spokesperson Teddy Novin: "Earlier today we announced the consolidation of multiple company plants into our Huntsville, Alabama facility. This was a strategic business decision to concentrate our resources into fewer locations and improve manufacturing efficiency and quality. We are working hard to retain as many from the affected facilities as possible."
Second Amendment Drama at the Supreme Court Has Implications for 2016
Second Amendment Drama at the Supreme Court Has Implications for 2016 - Many gun owners were disappointed when the Supreme Court declined on May 5 to take Drake v. Jerejian, but they shouldn't be. Drake was an important case but also had significant problems, and there are more promising cases elsewhere in the country. The best is Peruta v. County of San Diego in California, which may be before the Supreme Court within a year.
GOP Lieutenant Governor Choice Is SAFE Act Opponent
GOP Lieutenant Governor Choice Is SAFE Act Opponent - GOP candidate for governor Rob Astorino says his choice for a Lieutenant Governor running mate will be the Chemung County Sheriff, Chris Moss, an avid opponent of Governor Andrew Cuomo's gun control laws. Moss, who would be the first African American the state GOP would pick for Lieutenant Governor, is head of the New York State Sheriffs' Association. In an interview with the Elmira Star Gazette, Moss called parts of the gun control laws championed by Cuomo "ludicrous" and a "knee jerk reaction" to the Sandy Hook tragedy.

The title says it all. I knew it would happen sooner or later. She is just the kind of kid who would do this. She found a pair of scissors somewhere (we hide them because of her. She is... ahem... destructive.) and now her once long, thick hair can be best described as a very lopsided mullet.
There is seriously nothing I can do for it. No trimming in the world can make this look okay. Please don't ask me to post pictures. I can't look at it. I told her she is going to have to wear a hat until it starts growing out. That actually made her happy (she loves hats and has a collection of them).
Please just say all the things I already know, but need to hear right now: "It's okay, Michelle. This is NOT a big deal. It will grow back. It's only hair. You'll laugh about this one day..."
Is it too early in the day for a glass of wine?

Securing the intranet with remote access VPN security

point; however, it also poses some challenges. First, it increases network latency (which will be noticeable to users) by forcing all of their traffic through the central office. Second, it creates a single point of failure. If the central office loses network connectivity, the remote office will go down as well. This isn't a great topology, especially if you consider the remote office a potential backup site for the central office.
I'd suggest establishing an Internet connection at both offices and using VPN technology to create a secure tunnel between the two for interoffice communication. Supplement that with similarly configured firewalls and content filtering at both locations. That strategy should adequately secure both sites without the drawbacks identified above.

Syracuse Defense |
2009 Syracuse Depth
2008 Syracuse Preview |
2007 SU Preview
2006 SU Preview
What you need to know:
the problems with the Syracuse defense in recent years is a
simple process. The program just doesn't have enough talent or
depth to slow down even mediocre opponents, and this year's
Orange will be facing the same dilemma. After NT Arthur Jones, a
bona fide next level defender, there's not a single player that
jumps out as a sure-fire all-star or NFL prospect. So when the
program finishes 101st nationally in scoring and total defense,
like last year, no one should be shocked. Plus, offseason
defections have carved deeper into that depth, meaning more
unproven players than usual will be asked to contribute right
away. New coordinator Scott Shafer would love to attack, but
must be careful not to leave an already feeble secondary to fend
for itself. The Orange was especially hideous in pass defense
last fall, yielding 27 touchdown passes, while picking off just
eight balls.
Derrell Smith, 73
Arthur Jones, 3.5
Interceptions: Mike Holmes, 2
Defensive Line
Starters: If there's one player, who looks miscast in
blue and orange, it's 6-4, 291-pound senior
Arthur Jones, one of
the best nose tackles in America. He can play for anyone, and
will be playing this fall for a lucrative NFL contract. First,
he'll need to complete his rehab from a torn pectoral muscle
suffered before spring. A two-time All-Big East selection, he
has the size and strength to stuff the run and the quickness and
technique to live in opposing backfields. Over the last two
seasons, he's accounted for 111 tackles, 30.5 tackles for loss,
and 4.5 sacks.Next to Jones at defensive tackle is 6-3,
282-pound junior Andrew Lewis, who has lettered in each of the last two years, but
hasn't played a significant role of defense. Quicker than he is
powerful, he showed glimpses last season, making 11 tackles and
a pair of tackles for loss.The program's best defensive
end, 6-6, 259-pound junior
Jared Kimmel, like Jones, has spent much of the offseason recovering
from an injury. Although he underwent surgery on the same knee
that required work in 2007, there's hope he'll be fine by the
opener. He's got tremendous size and natural pass rushing
skills, flashing some of that upside last fall with 31 tackles,
two tackles for loss, one sack, and team-high three forced
fumbles.Providing some new blood at defensive end will
be 6-5, 238-pound redshirt freshman
Chandler Jones,
Arthur's baby brother, who rose to the top of the depth chart
with a strong spring. He has a nice burst off the snap and the
long arms to shed blockers, but would benefit by naturally
adding some weight and getting stronger.
Projected Top Reserves:
In juniors Bud Tribbey
and Anthony Perkins,
the Orange boasts some quality veteran depth at tackle. While
the 6-1, 288-pound Tribbey has lettered in each of the last two
seasons, making 13 tackles a year ago, he's yet to fulfill the
potential of one of the nation's top defensive tackle recruits
of 2007. He's quick and uses his hands well, but still needs to
play with more consistency.The 6-4, 268-pound Perkins
has also seen the field quite a bit, impressing the old staff as
a reserve in 2008. When he got a shot to play, he delivered,
making 19 tackles, four tackles for loss, and a sack. Although
he lacks prototypical size for an interior guy, he's able to
overcome with his quick feet and ability to slice through the
Out For… the injury updates. Jones and Kimmel are the
two best linemen at Syracuse, but the latter is coming off his
second knee surgery in two years and the former suffered a scary
pectoral tear before spring. Both need to be healthy before the
start of summer drills or else the entire defense will suffer
the consequences.
Strength: Jones. In a mass of mediocrity, he clearly
stands out for his penchant to bust through opposing lines and
make for minus yards. He's the type of complete defensive
tackle, who requires extra attention, making life a littler
easier for the players around him.
Weakness: The
ends. Kimmel has obvious potential, but he's struggled to remain
healthy and is recovering from knee surgery. Jones showed
flashes in the spring, but has yet to play a down in college.
After them is even more uncertainty and inexperience at a
position that produced a mere three sacks last fall.
Outlook: Jones
is a star, who is going to get gobbled up early by the NFL next
April. After him, however, is mostly uncertainty and mediocrity.
The senior needs more help in order to avoid constant
double-teams and devalued production. Don't bet on it. This unit
isn't much better than the one that had a part in last year's
101st-ranked run defense and was No. 100 in sacks.
Rating: 6
Starters: How bad is the situation at linebacker? Two
players, who've never played a snap for Syracuse at the position
are likely to be the starters on the outside. First, the good
news. At middle linebacker, the Orange has a fringe all-star in
6-1, 224-pound junior
Derrell Smith. A former running back, he's settled in nicely
on defense, finishing second on the team with 73 tackles, five
tackles for loss, and a sack. An explosive athlete, who takes
good angles, he plays with the nasty attitude and intensity to
continue to get better. Here's where things get
interesting. Apparently using Smith as a successful blueprint,
the staff has decided to move former running back
Doug Hogue to
strongside, where he's projected to start right away. The 6-2,
216-pound junior has the necessary athleticism and experience to
excel, but still has a lot to learn about the new position.
Of even greater concern is at weakside, where 6-1, 217-pound
junior Derek Hines
earned the nod before even stepping foot on campus. His
promotion came in the wake projected starter Parker Cantey's
desire to transfer. Hines did his two-year apprenticeship at
Santa Ana (Calif.) Community College, where was a safety.
Projected Top
Reserves: Providing a veteran presence on the B team
will be 6-0, 229-pound senior
Mike Stenclik, a
letterwinner in each of the last two seasons. More steady than
spectacular, he won't wow anyone with his skill set, but is a
program guy, who'll bring it whenever he gets off the sidelines.
If Hogue isn't ready for the new assignment, 6-2, 221-pound
redshirt freshman Dan
Vaughan could get the call at strongside. He rose up the
ladder in the spring, showing the toughness and speed that'll
make him a starter before very long.
Watch Out For…
plenty of missed tackles. Smith is fine, but on the outside,
Hines could take a year to adjust to a raised level of
competition and Hogue might spend a few months adapting to a new
side of the ball. With opposing runners often skirting past the
first line of defense, the linebackers are going to get a steady
diet of opportunities in the open field.
Athletic ability. For all of the knocks on this unit, no one can
say the starters don't move well from sideline-to-sideline.
Smith and Hogue are former running backs and Hines has played
the last two seasons at safety. All three can cover the field
and eventually become assets in pass defense.
Weakness: The
outside guys. Smith is fine on the inside, even inching closer
to a spot on the All-Big East team. Hogue and Hines, however,
are glaring mysteries, who are sure to make a ton of mistakes in
their first seasons in new digs.
Outlook: With
the weaknesses up front, Syracuse is the type of team that
absolutely needs stoppers on the second line of defense.
However, after Smith, there is a precipitous drop-off that'll be
noticeable throughout the 2009 campaign. The outside starters
are, at best, sketchy, and behind them are a slew of untested
Starters: Mostly everyone is back from a year ago, but
unless they start playing a lot tighter coverage, it's not going
to make a difference. The Orange's best hope for a turnaround
comes from 5-11, 185-pound junior FS
Mike Holmes, a third-year starter and one of the best all-around
athletes in the secondary. An active defender, with the hips to
hold up in pass coverage, he was fourth on the team with 68
tackles, adding two picks, five pass breakups, and a team-high
four fumble recoveries.After starting four games a year
ago, 5-11, 190-pound junior
Max Suter is set to
take over at strong safety on a full-time basis. Like Holmes,
he's shown off his athleticism on defense and special teams over
the past two seasons. A year ago, he frequently showed off his
range and strength, making 32 tackles, four stops behind the
line, and a couple of sacks.Of the cornerbacks, 5-10,
180-pound junior Nico
Scott returns to the secondary with the most amount of
experience, having lettered the last two years and started eight
times in 2008. He had
22 tackles, but broke up a single pass and didn't have an
interception, needing to make a quantum leap as a pass defender
in the second half of his career.At the opposite corner
is 5-11, 197-pound sophomore
Kevyn Scott, who had a building-block debut in 2008, starting the
final five games after beginning the year at safety. Better
suited to handle the bigger receivers, he'll jam at the line of
scrimmage and battle when the ball is in the air. Laying the
groundwork for his career, he had 32 tackles as a redshirt
Projected Top Reserves:
Lining up behind Suter at strong safety is 5-10, 198-pound
junior Randy McKinnon, who has played in 21 games over the last two years,
starting three in 2008. Much stronger in the upper body than his
size might indicate, he can take on bigger receivers and deliver
the payload like a linebacker. Last season, he delivered a
career-high 13 tackles, a number he hopes to improve on this
fall.Although 5-11, 185-pound sophomore
Dorian Graham isn't
going to beat out Holmes at free safety, he has earned a spot in
the rotation. As a true freshman, he played in every game,
making 19 tackles and impressing the staff with his quick
retention of his assignments.
Watch Out For…
Suter to become a fan favorite. He plays the game with reckless
abandon, flying all over the field and always sticking his nose
into the action. While he may not have ideal size for the
position, he has the right mix of size and strength to be a
disruptive playmaker.
Strength: The safeties. From Holmes and Suter on the
first unit to the two backups, the Orange is in much better
shape at safety than at cornerback. They're all physical and,
largely out of necessity, skilled at making tackles in the open
Defending the pass. Did Syracuse emigrate to the Big 12 without
telling anyone? In a passer-deficient league like the Big East,
the Orange has no business allowing a 63% completion percentage
and 27 touchdown passes, while picking off just eight.
Outlook: After
finishing no higher than 100th nationally in pass
efficiency defense in either of the last two years, Syracuse is
poised to make it three straight years of futility. Everyone had
their way with this secondary in 2008, and until a lockdown
corner or two can be developed, similar results are going to be
the norm.Rating:
Special Teams
Starters: In a microcosm for the entire program, the
special teams unit has issues that need to be addressed. The
exception is junior Rob
Long, one of the nation's better punters and an All-Big East
second team selection for the second straight year. He put
together a second solid season, averaging just under 44 yards
and giving much-needed lift to the defense.Long's
partner at placekicker is far less secure. Redshirt freshman
Austin Wallis appeared to be the heir-apparent to Patrick Shadle
before leaving the program. There's little choice now but to had
the job to true freshman
Shane Raupers, who'll arrive with no safety net beneath him.
Accurate throughout his high school career, he's about to
experience a baptism under fire. The one-two punch of
juniors Max Suter and
Mike Holmes is back
to help spark the return game. While both have shown some life
as kick returners in the past, someone needs to rise up and
boost a punt return team that ranked 114th nationally
last fall.
Watch Out For…
Raupers' reaction to being the unexpected starter. He knew he'd
have a shot to play as a rookie when he signed with the Orange,
but he couldn't possibly have imagined he'd run unopposed. The
staff better hope he's self-motivated because this program needs
all the help it can get scoring points.
Strength: Long.
As bad as the defense has been the last two years, it would've
been much worse without the powerful right leg of No. 47. He's
helped bail out the D numerous, and as often as the offense
stalls, this is the type of school that can ill-afford follies
on the punt team. Just halfway through his college career, he'll
have a chance to make an NFL team in two years.
Coverage units. Sure, it's precarious having a true freshman
placekicker, but how does the Orange really need a clutch kick
over the course of a season? Twice? The bigger concern revolves
around coverage teams that were 83rd on punts a year
ago and 108th on kickoffs.
Outlook: It'll
be a mixed bag for the Syracuse special teams this fall. On the
plus side, it has Long and a pair of decent kick returns. Of
concern, however, is the young kicker and the coverage units
that got routinely pierced last fall. All things considered, the
punter makes this group about as formidable as any other on the
