The New York Giant franchise saw a lot of ups and downs between 2000 and 2009. The Giants compiled a record of 80 - 64, excluding this year. They started off the decade with an embarrassing loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl 35. New York had losing seasons in three out of its next four years before turning it around. That included a win over the New England Patriots in Super Bowl 42. Here is my take on who were the best players at each position for the Giants over the past 10 years.
New York Giants All-Decade Team
By Mike Gliddon ,
The New York Giants gave up a lot to get Eli Manning from the San Diego Chargers in the 2004 NFL Draft. And it has payed off. The younger brother of Peyton Manning has already won a Super Bowl and is just entering the prime of his career. In his short career, Manning has thrown for 125 touchdowns and over 18,000 yards. Look forward to Eli leading the G-Men for years to come.
2nd Team - Kerry Collins - If he led the Giants to a Super Bowl victory over the Ravens he may have stuck around and Eli could have never been drafted. That performance alone dropped him to the second best option the Giants had over the past 10 years.
Tiki Barber was the Giants' main punt returner in the early part of the decade. He also started 21 games at running back in 2000-01. Jim Fassel finally decided to relieve Ron Dayne of the lead-back role and make Tiki a full-time back. The result was arguably the best running back in the Giants storied history. Barber holds the all-time rushing record with 10,449 yards. He was also a great receiver out of the backfield. He recorded three straight seasons over 2000 all-purpose yards from 2004-06. He received a lot of heat for retiring at the peak of his career, but with all the injuries running backs get can you blame him?
2nd Team - Brandon Jacobs - Jacobs became the primary goal-line and short-yardage back towards the end of Barber's career. He got the chance to become a feature back and did very well in his first two years, splitting time with Derrick Ward. He has totaled 43 touchdowns in five years and has a career rushing average of 4.4 yards per carry.
Do you remember this guy? Jim Finn was the other guy in the Giants' backfield who led the way for Tiki Barber. Finn was more of a hybrid fullback. He had great hands and in his four years with the Giants averaged over seven yards per catch out of the backfield. But don't let those stats fool you. He was a force to be reckoned with when coming through the offensive line. If not for shoulder problems he could have still been a solid fullback.
2nd Team - Madison Hedgecock - This guy is a house. At 6'3" and 260 lbs. he almost makes Brandon Jacobs look small. Almost. He has led the charge for Giants' backs for the past three seasons and will continue to do so for years to come.
How could the Giants' number one all-time leader in receptions, receiving yards and receiving touchdowns not be the number one receiver of the decade? Amani Toomer has been a model of consistency over his twelve year career with New York. From 2000-03, he had over 1000 yards, at least five touchdowns and over 50 catches a year. His best year as a Giant came in 2002 when he hauled 82 catches for over 1300 yards and eight touchdowns. He slowed down in the later part of the decade, but was still one of Eli Manning's most trusted targets. It was sad to see him not re-signed after 2008, but expect him to retire a Giant whenever that day comes along.
2nd Team - Ike Hilliard - Hilliard was a great option alongside Toomer. He is a great professional football player who always does what is asked of him. From 2000-04 he amassed 22 receiving touchdowns. Injuries slowed him down, however. He missed 16 games in his last five years as a Giant.
One of the heroes from Super Bowl 42, Plaxico Burress was the Giants' big play threat from 2005-08. With a great combination of size and speed, Burress helped a young Eli Manning look exceptional. Totaling 33 touchdowns in four shortened years with New York, Burress could have still been another weapon for a strong offense if he hadn't made some bad choices.
2nd Team - Steve Smith - The wide out from USC has quickly become Eli's favorite target. Smith broke the franchise record for receptions in a season and is only three catches away from breaking the 100 catch barrier. Also has over 1100 yards in his first year as a full-time starter. If he keeps this up he will be a surefire lock as a Pro-Bowler next season.
Shockey is one of those players you love to have on your team. And hate to play against. Shockey was a player the Giants' wanted so bad they moved up in the 2002 NFL Draft to acquire him. He instantly helped a lackluster offense with 74 catches for 894 yards in his rookie season. Shockey struggled with injuries in his career with the Giants that eventually led to his disgruntled departure. But the fiery tight end out of The U was one of the most productive in Giants' history. In six years he totaled 371 catches for 4228 yards and 27 touchdowns.
2nd Team - Kevin Boss - This guy is the complete opposite of Jeremy Shockey. And exactly what the Giants needed. Boss stepped right into Shockey's shoes and performed so well that the Giants traded their Pro Bowl tight end. In three years with New York, Boss has become a dependable receiving and blocking tight end. He has totaled 13 touchdowns, over a thousand yards receiving and has developed a great chemistry with Eli Manning.
This was the first real tough choice. But Petitgout remained at the left tackle position for five years. Longer than any other Giant at the position. And the fact that he only missed 13 games as a Giant in the decade. If not for injury problems he may have still been a New York Giant.
2nd Team - David Diehl - Diehl has played every position along the offense line except for center. You can argue that Lomas Brown could be the choice for second team, but Diehl was a major part of a dominant offensive line for seven years now. He was also named as a first alternate for the Pro Bowl this year.
Seubert has played through a lot of injuries in his nine year career. Even though he had the injuries, management has kept him around. He has been a solid guard when healthy and helped to anchor a strong middle of the offensive line for the Giants over the past three years.
2nd Team - David Diehl - Diehl makes the list twice, this time as second team left guard. One of the most versatile lineman the Giants have ever had. He spent two years playing left guard when Seubert was struggling with injuries.
O'Hara was the easiest pick out of the offensive linemen. O'Hara has anchored this unit for six years now and has two Pro Bowls to show for it, including this year. He calls out all the protections for Eli and has been named a team captain.
2nd Team - Chris Bober - Bober was the only other center for the Giants to spend significant time at center. He played two full years as a starter before the Giants signed O'Hara.
Snee has been a starter for six years now and he is the best lineman the Giants have. He was named a Pro Bowler and first team All-Pro in 2008. The argument can be made that he should have been a pro bowler this year too.
2nd Team - Ron Stone - Stone was great in his years with the Giants. He made back to back Pro Bowls in 2000-01 which led to his departure. The Giants couldn't match an offer San Francisco made and he packed his bags and moved out west. A real shame the G-Men couldn't hold onto him.
It seems that McKenzie is on the decline now entering his fifth year with the Giants. But he has been a great pick up for New York since his arrival in 2005. He had only missed three games coming into 2009, but injuries have slowed him down this year. Still, McKenzie is the best the Giants have had at right tackle in the past 10 years.
2nd Team - Luke Petitgout - Petitgout is the second Giant to be on this list twice. He held down the position for the first two years of the decade until he was moved to left tackle out of necessity.
A surefire Hall of Famer and arguably the best defensive player in Giants history, Michael Strahan was a lock for this pick. Made four Pro Bowls, two All-Pro teams and in 2001 set the single season sack record with 22.5 sacks. An emotional and vocal leader, he was the heart and soul of New York's defense. He could still probably lace up the spikes and outperform a good majority of the defensive ends out there.
2nd Team - Justin Tuck - One of the biggest reasons the Giants upset the Patriots in Super Bowl 42. He handles the run and pass equally well. Already has a Pro Bowl appearance and All-Pro team nomination under his belt. Has totaled 29 sacks and 10 forced fumbles in his five year career.
Osi has amassed 48.5 sacks in his seven year career with the Giants, and that includes missing all of 2008. He has two Pro Bowl appearances and one All-Pro selection. Had six sacks in a game against the rival Eagles and has two seasons with 13-plus sacks. Hopefully he will stick with the Giants and have another decade of success.
2nd Team - Mathias Kiwanuka - Kiwanuka was a hybrid pass rusher coming out of Boston College. He can play both outside linebacker and defensive end. He has done a pretty good job at both, but is now staying at end. Kiwanuka has racked up 19.5 sacks and seven forced fumbles in four years. Also plays the run surprisingly well.
One teams trash is another teams treasure. Fred Robbins never gelled with the Minnesota Vikings and the Giants picked him right up. New York management was rewarded with their best defensive tackle of the decade. Robbins has recorded 161 tackles, 25 sacks and three interceptions in six years with the Giants. That's great numbers for any defensive tackle in the NFL.
2nd Team - Keith Hamilton - Hamilton was a defensive end turned tackle. He was one of the reasons the Giants made the 2000 Super Bowl run. He recorded 10 sacks that year with 43 tackles. Hamilton's production steadily decreased after that, but had a bounce back year in 2003 with 43 tackles.
Griffin was a steady run stopper in the middle for the G-Men. He recorded 139 tackles in his first four years, including 12.5 sacks. The Giants decided to move on with Fred Robbins after his contract ran out. He found continued success with the rival Redskins.
2nd Team - Barry Cofield - Cofield was drafted after other selections failed to impress New York management. He responded by providing the Giants with a suitable tackle to play alongside Robbins. He has not been outstanding, but he has continued to progress as time has gone on.
The outside linebackers were some of the toughest choices for the All-Decade Team. The Giants have not had many good outside linebackers since this guy left. Armstead made the Pro Bowl his final two years in New York before he signed with Washington. He totaled 6.5 sacks and 141 tackles in 2000-01. Armstead re-signed with New York to officially retire a Giant in 2007.
2nd Team - Dhani Jones - Jones spent his first three years in the league with the Giants. From 2001-03 he blossomed into one of the better New York linebackers. He totaled 162 tackles, three sacks and two interceptions in his short lived Giants career.
Brandon Short went through two stints with the Giants throughout the decade. He started off his career with New York from 2000-03 and than rejoined the team in 2006. He became an impact player at the outside linebacker position. He totaled 198 tackles, nine sacks and four forced fumbles.
2nd Team - Carlos Emmons - Emmons was a steady option at linebacker for three years. He struggled with injuries towards the end of his career but still managed 146 tackles and two sacks.
Antonio Pierce has been the signal caller of the New York Giants' defense for the past five years. Pierce has not only been a leader on the field but in the locker room as well. He has been selected to one Pro Bowl and has been one of the leaders in tackles for the G-Men. He suffered a neck injury at the end of this year which may lead to his retirement or release from the team, but his leadership qualities will certainly land him a coaching job somewhere.
2nd Team - Michael Barrow - Barrow became the Giants' middle linebacker in the 2000 season. He instantly became a force for the middle of the defense. Barrow accumulated 348 tackles and 14 sacks over his four year stint with New York.
Jason Sehorn didn't play as much as some of the other corner backs the Giants had, but he played great when he was on the field. He unfortunately lost his job to the Will's (Will Allen and Will Peterson) and ended his career with St. Louis. In his final three years with the Giants (2000-02), Sehorn recorded seven interceptions and recorded 160 tackles. Also defended 16 passes in 2001. One of the most beloved Giants of all time.
2nd Team - Sam Madison - Sam Madison was a former All-Pro selection when the Giants picked him up. His better years were supposed to be behind him and he had lost a step. But Madison could still play and he wanted to prove it. In three years with New York, Madison picked off seven passes and defended 26 passes. He became a mentor to the younger corner backs in his last season with the Giants.
Corey Webster started off his career slowly, and early on he was considered a bust. But the corner out of LSU has become one of the top shut down corners in the NFL today. In five years as a Giant, Webster has picked off six passes, forced six fumbles and accounted for 185 tackles. He has struggled down the stretch this year, but so has the entire team. Expect Webster to continue to grow and succeed as the Giants' number one corner back.
2nd Team - Will Allen - Allen was supposed to come in and be a top corner for the Giants for years to come. He never became that. But Allen was not a terrible player, he just never reached expectations. Allen totaled 264 tackles and eight interceptions in his five years as a Giant.
Gibril Wilson played great from the moment he put on a Giants uniform. Wilson anchored the secondary for four years before money talked and he left for Oakland. In Wilson's years as a Giant, he recorded 296 tackles and picked off 11 passes. He also had six sacks.
2nd Team - Michael Johnson - Michael Johnson is a run stopping safety who has gotten better since his rookie season in 2007. Johnson has totaled 104 tackles, three interceptions and two sacks and is only getting better.
Shaun Williams was one of the better safeties the Giants have had over the past 15 years. Williams played both free and strong safety and had an exceptional knack for being around the ball. He racked up 11 interceptions from 2000-05. He also totaled 4.5 sacks and 280 tackles in that span.
2nd Team - Brent Alexander - Alexander only played two seasons for the Giants, but he played great. He was a slight liability against the run, but covered the pass very well. Alexander picked off seven passes, recorded two sacks and had 102 tackles in two years as the starting free safety.
Jay Feely was a fantastic kicker for the G-Men. He hit 84% of his field goals while kicking in the windy conditions of the Meadowlands. Not an easy feat. New York wanted to hold on to Feely, but could not justify paying a high salary for a kicker. He decided to go to Miami.
2nd Team - John Carney - Carney had a fantastic year in his only season with the Giants. Carney only missed three field goals the entire season and was the oldest player selected to the Pro Bowl at age 44.
Feagles is arguably the best directional punter to ever play in the NFL. Feagles made the Pro Bowl in 2008 as the number one punter in the NFC. He joined the Giants in 2003 and has been pinning opponents inside the 20 with regularity since.
2nd Team - Rodney Wiliams - Williams makes this list simply because of one punt. Williams had a punt of 90 yards in his only year with the Giants. He had a respectable 42.9 yards per punt average.

Before the Competition
A sponsor can be any adult who is responsible for the Registration. Most sponsors will be teachers, though parents, administrators, counselors, media specialists, etc. may also serve as sponsors.
Absolutely. The Individual Registration pathway to participation is designed to allow students to compete in the National History Bee without having to depend on a school to register.
We accept money orders, personal checks, school checks or purchase orders. If you prefer to pay via credit card, please contact us.
Yes. We welcome and encourage both homeschool associations and individual homeschooled children to participate in the National History Bee! For more information, please contact us.
Yes. As long as a student still meets all of the eligibility requirements, he or she is welcome to participate again.
National History Bee questions are roughly split evenly between U.S. History and non-U.S. History. While we don't have a set "curriculum" of material to study, we recommend starting your preparation by perusing our Resources page. That should give you a general idea of what sort of material might be asked. Generally speaking, the more students read about history, the better that they do.
Looking for a more thorough resource? Check out the History Essentials book from Hexco Academics. It provides a good summary of 5,000 years of history.
Intramural Bee
Yes. School sponsors are welcome to score the Intramural Bee - Written Test by whatever method is most convenient.
Each of the Intramural Bee activities also includes tiebreaker questions. The answers to these questions will be a number (In what year was Abraham Lincoln assassinated? (1865) or How old was Victoria when she became Queen of England? (19), for example). Whichever of the tied students is closest to the correct answer wins the tiebreaker.
Each school registration entitles the school to enter ten students for participation in the National History Bee. Ultimately it is up to the school-level sponsor to decide how best to select those ten students. We recommend selecting those students through the use of the Intramural Bee, but some schools choose grade point average or other criteria to select students.
Online Qualifying Exam
Any computer with a high speed internet connection and a modern browser should work fine with our exam system. We strongly suggest running through one of our practice online exams to test your computer.
Our tests support IE7 + , Google Chrome, Firefox, Opera and all other major browsers. To test your browser, please take one of the practice exams found HERE.
You can take one of our practice online exams. If the practice exam works on your computer, the official exam will also.
Regional Finals
Yes. Click here.
The National History Bee uses buzzers from Anderson Enterprises.
During the week of January 25, 2016, Sponsors will receive an email outlining their student(s)' scores and whether or not they have qualified for the Regional Finals.
While we welcome sponsors and other family, friends and well-wishers to attend the Regional Finals to support the students, there is no requirement for sponsors to attend.
Nothing other than an accompanying adult (could be a teacher, parent, or other guardian), and their history knowledge.
Yes. All spectators are welcome. Be aware, however, that viewing space in some of the matches may be limited.
We ask that students dress in business casual or nicer for the Regional Finals and National Finals.
The National History Bee's National Finals will be in Chicago at the Hyatt Regency O'Hare from June 9-12, 2016. More information can be found here.

Growing your own food sounds very overwhelming but you can do it easily with very little space, even in an urban environment. March is also the perfect time to start preparing your own garden to grow plants and herbs for the spring and summer months ahead. As if you need reasons why, it ensures you have fresh produce on hand, is a great way to teach your children about eating healthy, can help you save money, plus studies show that gardening relieves stress! From an environmental standpoint, you can help decrease pollution by growing without the use of pesticides and reduce the need for trucks that transport food all over the country. Finally, what could taste more delicious than a plant that you grow and pluck at its peak of ripeness just steps away from your kitchen door?
Contain your garden
Many people in urban environments do not have a backyard let alone a square foot of land to grow plants. By practicing 'container gardening', basically growing in any sort of container that can hold soil, plants and drain water, you can bring your garden to a patio, or even indoors as long as there is plenty of sunshine. Check out this comprehensive guide to how to get started with container gardening and what fruits, vegetables, and herbs are easiest to grow.

Jane Austen: The Massive Online RPG Game
Yes, an Austen-themed video game. "In the virtual world of Jane Austen, it is not about kill or be killed, but invite and be invited with gossip our weapon of choice."
"Try to win the sympathy of Lizzie Bennet by telling lies about your rival," urges Ever, Jane's Kickstarter page. As you can probably guess, this Jane Austen-themed video game is not about smashing monsters with magic and swords, but about demolishing your enemies with gossip and bolstering your reputation by dancing with the elite.
What we know about the game:
This dude thinks your bodice is rubbish and your sister is a slattern who eats boiled cabbages.
It's set either in Regency England or your worst middle school nightmare. You can spread lies about your enemies, but they can also do detective work to trace the rumors back to you and destroy your reputation.
Think of it as interactive online Austen fan-fiction rather than a linear retelling of "Sense and Sensibility." You can choose your character's traits — if you want to be like Marianne Dashwood, for example, you can prize happiness over duty. But duty-bound characters like Mr. Knightly will find you offensive.

Skip to comments.Palestinians saddened at Fox's killing (Murdered American sat in front of Israeli bulldozers)
Posted on 03/11/2006 6:38:50 AM PST by Hannah Senesh
Palestinians throughout the West Bank expressed sorrow Saturday over the killing of American Tom Fox, 54, who had traveled to the West Bank to protest for their cause before he was taken hostage in Iraq.
Fox's body was found shot in the head and chest Thursday near a Baghdad railway station. He had worked with Christian Peacemaker Teams in the Palestinian areas before he began work with the group in Iraq.
Fox, from Clear Brook, Virginia, had demonstrated in the West Bank town of Jayyus against the construction of the security fence and he helped Palestinians pick olives, local Palestinians said.
"Tom used to sit in front of the (Israeli) bulldozers to block them," said Jayyus' mayor, Shawka Shamha. "Hearing news that he was killed makes me very sad."
Sharif Omar also from Jayyus said that Fox lived at his brother's house for three months while local Palestinians and foreign activists protested against the construction of the barrier.
"I'm very sorry to hear that he has been killed," Omar said.
Palestinians in the West Bank city of Hebron also remembered Fox. Neither Fox nor the Briton and two Canadians taken hostage with him deserved to die, said Hisham Sharabati, a human rights activist who met Fox.
"I'm calling for the kidnappers to release the other hostages," Sharabati said. "This killing harmed the Palestinian and Iraqi causes because the hostages were working for peace."
The two Canadians - James Loney and Harmeet Singh Sooden - also worked in the Palestinian areas.
When the four were taken hostage in November last year, the Palestinians' top Muslim clergyman, Mufti Ikrema Sabri, called for their immediate release.
What a tool!
Its about time these "peace idiots", I mean "activists" get nominations for the Darwin award!!!
Beyond anything else, how anything can be termed a "wall" when between 95% and 97% of the structure is purely fence is utterly beyond me.
Their protests only delay the eventual.
In the eyes of fanatical Muslims no peace activist is a friend.
Useless idiot.
"These fools should know that if they don't get killed now...it's only a matter of time."
They are called "peace activists," but, in reality, they are just supporters of terror. When did a "peace activist" ever sit in a Jerusalem bus or a Tel Aviv cafe to protest suicide bombers?
With friends like these ....
Their definition of peace is surrender to evil.
"With friends like these ...."
Yup, and we Jews have millions more just like him all across the world.
'delusions of grandeur' and 'messianic complex' come to mind. Poor misguided naive man.
Their definition of peace is surrender to evil.
These "peace idiots" deserve what they get. In the end, they are still an infidel, and when they no longer serve as a usefull tool for the Jihadists, They are given Mohammad inspired "justice".
This should be an example that all these leftist idiots should pay attention to. This is the reward they will recieve for all the help they give to the barbaric animals, the son's of Satan, enemy of all mankind.
The idiocy of the pacifists.
From what I've seen with these people....
it's usually over-use of illegal drugs that damage the parts of the brain supporting logic.....
and inevitably......
the loss of a conscience!
Will they do the wallalwallalwallalwallalwallalwalllah Dance and pass out candy?
Gee, somebody forgot to tell the terrorists they were working for peace. Oh, well.
Codswallop. They were working for the insurgents who took them hostage and killed one of their number.
Being an American trumps all, as far as the kidnappers were concerned. It is no accident that only the American was killed.
I agree.
"Being an American trumps all, as far as the kidnappers were concerned."
Being an Infidel - a Christian, a Jew, a non-believer - is what trumps all, not just with these medieval butchers but also with many ordinary followers of Islam.
These peace activists are both stupid and evil. Innocent people die because they have to make spectacles of themselves. It's a big ego trip. I fully expect to see Cindy Sheehan show up in Iraq one of these days. Or maybe Iran, when it's a smoking ruin.
Dyslexic he is.
Object do I to that surl.
By this guys reasoning, if you are against the palistinians, then I suppose you do deserve to die.
I'd like to see them 'walk in Israel's shoes' for six months. There's nothing like a few hard lessons in life to rearrange your priorities.
Hisham Sharabati was deported from the U.S. in 2002:
"Hisham Sharabati, a Palestinian peace activist who was to have spoken at events sponsored by San Francisco Catholics, was denied entry into the United States July 22 [2002], then deported."
These so-called peace activists are largly hard-core leftists. The left has become profoundly anti-semitic. I won't cry crocodile tears over naifs who side with terrorists. Those who do are hypocrites.
Don't these people have jobs?
you gotta give to the palis, they know how to use these useful idiots, they would never kill one because they promote their causes so well,maybe now he be able to see Yassar and continue the good work in hell.I hope and pray not one drop of our military men blood is wasted to rescue these fools when they are captured; so they can return and write a degrading book and appear on the lamestream media to bash our country and it's military
I just find it intersting that what this guy DID NOT SAY was that "no hostage deserves to die". He said only these select few hostages did not deserve to die.
"These so-called peace activists are largly hard-core leftists."
Tom Fox attacks American actions in Fallujah on his blog:
"There are no words. A city that has been demonized by Americans and many Iraqis, using the words the city of terrorists. A city that its residents call the city of mosques. A city that even its residents have to enter at checkpoints, often taking up to an hour to traverse. A city that is being choked to death economically by those same checkpoints."
These so-called peace activists are largly hard-core leftists. The left has become profoundly anti-semitic. I won't cry crocodile tears over naifs who side with terrorists. Those who do are hypocrites.<<
I'll shed a tear for people like Rachel Corrie, she was raised in conditions that simulate a madrasa.
They still side with terrorists, and what must be done, must be done. Hang with terrorists, and don't be surprised when 1000 pounds drops in,
The Presbyterian Church USA is also working against the fence in Isreal. Was Fox a member of the Democrat Presbyterian Church USA?
"For when they shall say, Peace and safety, then sudden destruction cometh upon them" 1st Thessalonians, 5:3
Have we heard the family and friends blame Bush and his "illegal war" for his death yet?
The optimist in me would like to see the terrorist sympathizers (aka "peace" movement) learn that these fanatics want them dead as well. The realist in me (who likes to eat the optimist for breakfast) knows that they will use this to argue that Bush is now responsible for the death of an AMerican civilian.

Now do you liberal socialist wing nuts get it YET?
Make sure to convert to Islam before you go over to Iraq or you will die!( Sarc/)
He flies 12,000 miles to pick olives??!!
To lame to fight for their beliefs, they are neither fish nor foul.
And the world doesn't even notice them as speed bumps!
He is no Christian.
I'll regret any American death to these evil people, but I have to ask if this guy was related to "Grizzly Man"
Have you heard about this movie? This guy loved Grizzly bears so much that he lived near them and chronicled his life living with the bears.
Unfortunately, one day the bears killed and ate him.

Lay down with dogs, get up with a bullet in your head.
Tom Fox-usefull idiot.This should send a clear,unmistakeable message to all so called "peace activists"in the ME;the terrorists don't care if you support them and their cause.In the end,Tom Fox was simply a piece of meat that was kidnapped and then executed simply for propaganda purposes.Oh well:(
Holy crap. That is FLAT OUT the best thread I've seen in a long time!

The BEST. West Point Graduate. Board Certified Orthopedic Surgeon.
If you want the best orthopedic surgeon...see Dr Lambert. He listens to you, has sharp diagnostic acumen, great surgical hands. West Point grad class of '84. Team physician at William and Mary for 10 years.
He repaired my rotator cuff in 2008 and did a Excellent job
Intelligent Expert. Very caring. Diagnosed my problem quickly and cured me. Team physician for William and Mary
Dr. Lambert has helped me with a few ortho problems and also has worked with my children. Very nice man, great bedside manner. Excellent physician, he has helped me with a shoulder, hip, and hand and did a great job with all three.
Be very careful if you choose to use Dr. Lambert for orthopedic surgery. He used what he termed an "aggressive" treatment post-surgery, which included an immobilizing sling rather than one that permitted movement. My husband still has incredible shoulder pain 4 years after surgery.
Dr. Lambert was extremely courteous and profession. He diagnosed my issue fast and then we discussed how to treat it. He spent a great deal of time with me.

Every PHP (or Zend) extension now installs its own .ini file in
/usr/local/etc/php. A PHP extension will be automatically activated
when installed. The order into which extensions are loaded is
automatically guessed. In some very rare cases, the guess will be
wrong, and PHP_MOD_PRIO will need to be set. Refer to the USES=php

Convert ports touching etc/php/extensions.ini manually, or telling the
OP to do it.

Home Game
Make no mistakeheadlining a multi-artist show like Summer Jam is no prize. Just ask the leathery Snoop Dogg, janitor for this year's decidedly untheatrical proceedings, fighting the three-fourths of the crowd who up and left before he hit "Gin & Juice," and the powers that be who cut him off before he could do "Drop It Like It's Hot."
Really, though, the show ended hours earlier, after frantic, unhinged, vibrant early sets from Dip Set and D-Block. With the rest of the bill from out of town, and the other hometown stars besieged, retired, or dead, the ragtag troupes from, respectively, Harlem and Yonkers had the locals' hearts all to themselves. "We don't usually get opportunities like this," Cam'ron saidhumbled, not at all indignant. Whoa.
Maybe he and guest Paul Wall were hitting the syrup backstage with Kanye West, also a click or three off his normal bombast. Or perhaps West realized that he was bound to get trumped by his guestJay-Zso why even bother? Jigga's five minutes were majestic, a lesson on tasteful arrogance to West and a benediction to a crowd thirsting for a time when their town mattered.
Hot 97 Summer Jam
June 5
Giants Stadium
Oddly, though, the person who repped hardest for New York was the one who wasn't quite sure he was welcome. Shielding himself with a David Wright jersey, his son (named Harlem), and the taken-in-vain name of Biggie Smalls, The Game quite eagerly tested the premise that a paying crowd will root for whoever is put onstage before it. "Sing that shit," Game instructed during the 50 Cent-rapped chorus of "How We Do." "That's your man. Help that nigga out."
Last year, Summer Jam was unkind to 50, between the chairs thrown onstage by his Queens foes and the deafening indifference offered up by the rest of the crowd. But is the spurned child any better than the deadbeat dad? In between "G-G-G-G-U-NOT!" taunts (with accompanying T-shirts), Game looked sad, hurt, lonely. By making sure the crowd hated him, he never had to stop long enough to figure out if he could be loved.

"Remember when rock was fun? Well, get ready for some good-time rock-n-roll with The Coloffs. Everyone needs to enjoy a band like this. No gimmicks. No pretense. Just squealing guitars and a pulsing back beat. So if you're looking for the answers to life, love, and the universe…look somewhere else. These boys are here to party! Hailing from the Seattle/Tacoma area, these veterans of such bands as Midnight Thunder Express, The Valentine Killers, and the Kansas City Faggots are here to get the party started. So grab a beer and raise it high and get ready to have yourself a blast! "
"Brian Coloff of The Coloffs is a local rocking legend. If you've never seen him peel out on his guitar like it was a knife through hot butter, you're missing out. Rarely does a guitarist of his caliber actually deliver unprecedented guitar solo's without overplaying them, but that is not Brian's style. He's smooth, mean, and rocking at a level most musicians get pissed at. On top of it he's one of the most personable local talents you'll get a chance to meet, very approachable, very cool. Along with local punkers Waterbed and Black Doubt, this show is awesome for the $5 cover and you'll be contributing to the pockets of some local bad-ass players."

New trial sought for S.C. boy, 14, executed in 1944
COLUMBIA, S.C. -- Supporters of a 14-year-old black boy executed in 1944 for killing two white girls are asking a South Carolina judge to take the unheard-of move of granting him a new trial in hopes he will be cleared of the charges.
George Stinney was convicted on a shaky confession in a segregated society that wanted revenge for the beating deaths of two girls, ages 11 and 7, according to the lawsuit filed in October on Stinney's behalf in Clarendon County.
The request for a new trial has an uphill climb. The judge may refuse to hear it at all, since the punishment was already carried out. Also, South Carolina has strict rules for introducing new evidence after a trial is complete, requiring the information to have been impossible to discover before the trial and likely to change the results, said Kenneth Gaines, a professor at the University of South Carolina's law school.
"I think it's a longshot, but I admire the lawyer for trying it," Gaines said, adding that he's not aware of any other executed inmates in the state being granted a new trial posthumously.
The request for a new trial is largely symbolic, but Stinney's supporters say they would prefer exoneration to a pardon.
Stinney's case intersects some long-running disputes in the American legal system -- the death penalty and race. At 14, he's the youngest person executed in the United States in the past 100 years. He was electrocuted just 84 days after the girls were killed in March 1944.
The request for a new trial includes sworn statements from two of Stinney's siblings who say he was with them the entire day the girls were killed. Notes from Stinney's confession and most other information deputies and prosecutors used to convict Stinney in a one-day trial have disappeared along with any transcript of the proceedings. Only a few pages of cryptic, hand-written notes remain, according to the motion.
"Why was George Stinney electrocuted? The state can't produce any paperwork to justify why he was," said George Frierson, a local school board member who grew up in Stinney's hometown hearing stories about the case and decided six years ago to start studying it and pushing for exoneration.
The South Carolina Attorney General's Office will likely argue the other side of the case before the Clarendon County judge. A spokesman said their lawyers had not seen the motion and do not comment on pending cases. A hearing has not been set.
The girls were last seen looking for wildflowers in the town of Alcolu. They didn't return home, and their bodies were found the next day.

Do you want to become a millionaire?
That's obviously a rhetorical question... the majority of us would love it. But what's your plan for achieving that goal?
If your plan is to make that sort of wealth in the stock market, then what's your strategy? Blue-chip stocks, index funds, or do you want to watch your "daily paychecks," as my colleague Amy Calistri would say, roll in by the truck load?
All of these strategies are great. There's nothing wrong with them and they'll probably make you money in the long run.
But while investing in just steady-eddy, mature companies may keep the income flowing in, it isn't going to make you a millionaire anytime soon.
They're not going to give you those "knocked-out-of-the-park" returns that you've heard about since you first learned of the stock market.
No, I'm convinced that if your goal is to reach a seven-figure bank account, you need to add a "swing for the fences" element to your overall portfolio strategy...
I call it the "10% solution."
The idea behind it is simple. If your goal is to become a millionaire in the market, then you need to dedicate a portion of your portfolio to aggressive growth stocks.
Let me explain...
My daughter is in private school. She will eventually go to college and will need cars, trips and -- someday -- perhaps a wedding.
For her and the rest of my family, I've allocated 90% of my portfolio to safe and reliable assets. The kind of assets I know will allow me to meet my comfort level and feel confident knowing I can adequately provide for my family.
But the other 10%? That's different.
This portion is dedicated to the "Game-Changers." These are the types of stocks that have the potential to move the needle on not only the balance of my account, but on the life I live.
You see, most investors are stuck in the slow lane, passively accepting the market's returns and failing to use equities as the supercharging force they can be.
While it's important to have the bulk (90%) of your portfolio tied to dependable assets, I think a portion -- the other 10% -- needs to go toward investments with the potential to knock the cover off the ball.
You should know that for more aggressive investors, I actually recommend a "20% solution" -- with one-fifth of investor portfolios going toward "swing for the fences" plays -- but for simplicity's sake and for investors who aren't willing to take on that much risk, we'll stick with the "10% solution" today.
Here's how the 10% solution works...
I'll start this example with a modest amount to show you how it works. Assume you start with a $25,000 portfolio that tracks the broader market. The average annual return from 2002 through 2012 for the S&P 500 was a measly 4% (with dividends). That means $25,000 turns into $38,789.29 in 11 years.
But things can change dramatically when you add in the potential for just a few big winners.
Let's say you invest 90% of your $25,000 portfolio, or $22,500, in the broader market to achieve that 4% return. Then you allocate the remaining 10%, or $2,500, to a collection of "game-changing" picks -- stocks with the potential to snag major gains.
If that part of the portfolio averages 30% a year, then the initial $2,500 grows into $65,086.40 after 11 years.
Add in the $22,500 and its market return, which has grown to $34,910.36 and you've got a pretty nice nest egg of $99,996.76 -- nearly triple the other portfolio -- all thanks to where you put just 10% of your money.
(Note: You'll notice that this return isn't $1 million, but the results are fully scalable. You can simply start with more capital to reach your goal.)
I've made the comparison in the chart to the right. Would you rather have Column A, or would you rather end up with Column B, which uses the 10% solution?
I think the answer is obvious.
Now you may be asking, if the 10% solution seems to work so well, why not dedicate 50% or 100% of your portfolio to it?
Simple answer: It's always important to be diversified, so putting all of one's eggs into a single basket is never a good idea, no matter how spectacular the potential for returns.
I can sleep at night knowing that most of my money -- the majority of my equity portfolio -- is invested so as to expose it only to general broad-market risk. Only a small percentage is allocated to game-changing plays with return potential that could move the needle on the overall portfolio.
The fact is, if you pick a few winners over time with a small subset of your portfolio, then it can make an enormous difference. And 10% can do the trick nicely. It's enough to make a difference, but not enough to keep you up at night.
Don't get me wrong though, I'm not guaranteeing my system will make you a millionaire. There are no guarantees when it comes to investing. I also believe that safe and reliable dividend payers are still the backbone of any successful portfolio.
Action to Take --> But if you want to maximize your earning potential, you owe it to yourself to put a portion of your portfolio into investments that "swing for the fences."

Penn State Behrend men win 9th straight
Penn State Behrend executed inside-out ball movement in a critical late stretch, and the Lions won their ninth straight with a 69-57 victory over Pitt-Bradford Thursday at the Junker Center.
The Lions (14-2, 8-1 AMCC), who scorched the Panthers (9-8, 5-5) 90-71 Jan. 8 in Bradford, could not hit from outside (4-17 3-pointers) and were engaged in a tight contest throughout before taking control in the final 31/2 minutes.
Junior guard Nick DeLisio, who had 19 points, and senior center Shane Skelly, who finished with 12 but was playing with four personals, sparked a 16-6 run to the final horn.
"We had to make sure we got the best shot possible, because if we took a bad shot they would go off and running,'' DeLisio said. "We kept the ball moving inside-out, got the ball to Shane, and he would kick it out and we would charge the lane.''
Leading 53-51, Skelly took a pass and was fouled and made two free throws. Sophomore center Zane Hackett blocked a shot, and junior guard Keith Wallace, who had five assists, fed Skelly for a layup. Senior guard Casey Courneen's steal led to a high-low entry pass from Skelly to DeLisio for a 3-point play and 60-51 lead.
After DeLisio's jumper, a parade to the foul line ensued, and Skelly, who had four assists, put an exclamation point on the win with a slam.
DeLisio recalled the team summer trip to Costa Rica that has the Lions heating up on cold winter nights.
"We went to Costa Rica during the summer, and we developed good chemistry and know where each other is going to be, and we run an offense that is a little different and where execution is key,'' DeLisio said.
Tied 25-25 in a cold-shooting first half for both sides, Skelly and sophomore forward Mike Knoll helped the Lions take a 40-33 lead. But the Panthers, led by the drives of Brandon McClester (13 points) and Eric Matheson (10) went hard to the basket, and Skelly drew his fourth foul with 11 minutes left.
"Keith Wallace played some good defense on a team that is very hard to defend,'' Behrend coach Dave Niland said. "Mike Knoll and Zane Hackett had some big baskets when we were struggling, and then our execution with moving the ball for good shots at the end enabled us to get a big win.''

Hello dear helpful people. =)
After reading through other threads to similiar problems, I thought I could fix the problem myself, but it's not working: my "Web Camera Application" has disappeared, and after trying downloading the recommended versions three times, my "Web Camera Application" is still not working.
When I try to start the application, I am getting the error message "Web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer."
I am not sure what that means, as I don't know how to "check" my camera.
And so I downloaded the following files:
tc30049700n.exe (two attempts)
But after downloading them, and then giving the order to run the application "Web Camera Application V220.127.116.11", I click on "start" in the pop-up window, the file seems to extract, closes after the extraction, and then it just disappears, and the installation never starts.
I'd really appreciate your help, guys.
My laptop is a Toshiba L645-S4102.
Model # PSK0GU-OCT022.
I am running Windows 7.
Toshiba Web Camera Application
the file seems to extract, closes after the extraction, and then it just disappears, and the installation never starts.
Try it this way, Sabine. When you execute the self-extracting file tc30049700n.exe, set the first screen like this, so that the files simply extract to a folder of your choosing.
Then run the file Setup.exe from that folder and tell us what happens.

Dear Jerry,
first of all, thank you so much for taking the time and answering.
I lived under the impression that I'd get an email notification once an answer was posted here, but I was wrong. =)
And so: sorry about the delay.
I followed your instruction.
When I started the setup.exe, InstallShield Wizard popped up and let me know that it's installing Toshiba Web Camera Application.
When it was done, another small window popped up, telling me to "Please wait while Windows configures MS Visual C++ 2005 Redistributable".
When it was done, I was asked to restart the computer. I did.
After restarting the computer, I clicked on "Web Camera Application" in the START menu, and I got the same error message that started all of this:
"Web camera initialization failed. Please check your camera device and restart application or computer.".
That's it.
Oh, and I did subscribe to this topic (which I thought was automatically done after my first posting), and so there won't be anymore delays. =)
Open Device Manager (devmgmt.msc) and expand Imaging devices. Do you see the camera there?
I don't know how to insert a screenshot in here, but I am attaching one.
Where in the Device Manager would I find the camera?
Looks like Device Manager doesn't see the camera. You should have Imaging devices, like in this picture (where there is a scanner instead of a camera).
Most likely there is a hardware malfunction. The only way to tell for sure is to restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
I feared that it might be necessary to do that. =(
I am going to spend some time securing my data, and then I"ll do what you said.
How annoying. I had never even used my webcam, even though I bought the laptop back in February this year.
Thank you, Jerry,
Good luck, Sabine.

Hart Crane is among the most radically inventive of High Modernist poets, experimenting with language and poetic scale in ways that extended the scope of Modernism and influenced several generations of American poets who followed him. Born in Garrettsville, Ohio in 1899, the only child of the successful businessman C.A. Crane and the flamboyant, expressive, and at times dominating Grace Hart, Crane endured what he described in letters as a difficult childhood. The marriage of C.A. and Grace was not a happy one, and young Harold would break with his father and choose his middle name, also his mother's maiden name, as a symbolic gesture. While he saw his mother as more sympathetic to his artistic endeavors, his father would continue to i…
