I am building a script to fully automate a VPS setup, and I need to change the root password. I would like to avoid typing it as the script is running through SSH.
Is there a way to redirect an arbitrary value to the input of
passwd command?
I know for
passwd < passwd_file.txt containing the password twice... I would like to know if there is a more elegant way as it seems a little bit clumsy to use a temp file for this purpose.

DURHAM � After Duke wrapped up last week�s victory against Elon University to head into an eight-day break from games, coach Mike Krzyzewski offered an atypical insight for what the Blue Devils can improve on.
�The main thing we can do better is get refreshed,� he said. �It is a long year and when you are ranked as high as you are now, there is more.�
The degree to which Duke�s batteries have recharged should be on display today against Santa Clara, as the Blue Devils seek their 101st consecutive victory at home against non-conference opponents.
Duke, a winner of 19 straight games in the month of December, is one of four unbeaten teams remaining in college basketball.
�We can get better everywhere, especially rebounding and just staying sharp for 40 minutes,� point guard Quinn Cook said. �There are always ways to improve, and Coach will definitely find ways to help us get better.�
Cook, a sophomore, grabbed a career-high eight rebounds against Elon, forming one of the notable subplots that developed in Duke�s 76-54 victory.
In addition to the balanced scoring (four players in double figures and two more with eight points apiece) and seven straight successful 3-pointers in the second half (the Blue Devils went 11-for-19 from beyond the arc for the game), Duke grabbed 11 more rebounds than Elon (43-32).
�We haven�t been good on the boards, and that was one thing we did better,� said forward Mason Plumlee, who collected 21 points and 15 rebounds against the Phoenix. �That can�t be just one game. We�ve got to make a habit of it.�
Who: Santa Clara (11-2) at No. 1 Duke (11-0)
When: Noon today (ESPN2)
Where: Cameron Indoor Stadium, Durham
Series: First meeting
Tip-in: Duke can open a season with 12 straight victories for the 10th time under Mike Krzyzewski

True Confessions of Gardeners
And other true confessions of why you tend a garden
Well if you need a boost to get yourself out into the garden this year, just read what we have here. Planning, tending, picking, preserving, giving it away and getting help—for some reason it's all good. If only we had the space to publish more of these, we could brighten your day for months. We did add more to our Web site.
Surrounding our home is one of the most beautiful flower gardens in Person County.
In the middle of the backyard stands a huge black walnut tree, the largest of its kind in North Carolina. It is estimated to be centuries old. Around the base of the tree, like a color- ful wreath, are seasonal flowers, such as impatiens in the summer and colorful shades of pansies in the spring—all planted by my wife, Mabel.
Other colorful and fragrant flowering plants grown and cultivated by my wife during the growing season attract interesting wildlife, such as birds that sing praises to their beauty. Plus hummingbirds, butterflies, bees and wasps enjoy their nectar.
The pleasure we enjoy from this surrounding beauty dur- ing our later years is due to my wife's determination to learn how to enrich the soil to cultivate healthy plants.
Gardening brings beauty and happiness. It's good for the soul. This is my mom and some of her dear friends in the zinnias.
Gardening is a leap of faith. You sow seeds with a positive attitude not knowing the outcome. You tend the garden faithfully even before you see results. Then, one day, two lit- tle leaves show their colors, and then there are four leaves. You feel a sense of accomplishment as the season moves along and you reap the rewards of your labor in the harvest.
When all is done, you tend to the garden beds to put them to rest. What I learned from gardening is everything there is to know about life: faith, patience, hard work, rewards and the universal cycle of life.
Gardening puts everything in perspective for growing up and becoming a fine person. It shows how everything and everyone cannot go it alone. We all need to work together to reap the rewards of life. At the end of our harvest, we rest like the garden, only to see the future in the generations and the past in our memories.
I'm a gardener because it fills my soul with happiness and accomplishment. When having a bad day, I just go to my garden and work it to feel right again.
Thanks to everyone who contributed. Next month we'll publish your reports of the perfect place for a picnic. [Deadline was Feb. 15.] For other themes and rules of our "Nothing Could Be Finer" series, see page 24.
Growing up in rural North Carolina, gardening was a means of providing food for the family. My grandfather taught me how and when to plant in order to gain the best harvest. My mother and grandmother patiently taught me the fine art of canning, freezing and preserving. During the years of raising my own family, I continued that heritage. Canned goods, jellies and jams lined the pantry shelves to prove I had learned the lesson well.
However the love of being a gardener took on an entirely new meaning three years ago. Our oldest son died, his life unexpectedly over, a beautiful flower plucked right from the garden of our hearts. In an attempt to focus on living, we decided to plant a weeping willow tree in our yard in his memory. With this effort "Stephen's Garden" began. We planted all the flowers from his funeral. We built a gazebo as a place for quiet reflection. On Stephen's birthday or Father's Day or any other day that we feel the need, his chil- dren and I make garden stones. We tenderly place them in the garden and watch our memories grow. The harvest has been one of acceptance and appreciation. Acceptance of growing a different garden and appreciation for precious memories that thrive there.
At the time, my son was 5 years old and a finicky eater. He just did not like any kind of vegetable. So I made a plan. I told him that we would go to the seed store in the spring and he could pick out as many packets of seeds as he wanted as long as we ate everything that we grew. Of all the colorful packets in the displays, we came home with a bundle. That year he worked with me planting, waiting for the seeds to sprout, watering and weeding. We had an enormous crop.
Ever since that year he is the one who makes sure we have our potatoes started on time, that we have a healthy mixture of summer vegetables for the table, and that we have enough extra so that we can enjoy our preserved food through the winter. He enjoys everything from our first peas to our last turnips and cabbage. Sometimes it pays to be tricky.
I have been gardening since I was 15 years old. I am now 93 and still raise most of my vegetables and share them with friends, relatives and neighbors. I like to see things grow. I raise turnips, green peas, field peas, white potatoes, sweet potatoes, cabbage, cauliflower, corn, tomatoes, yellow squash, zucchini, peppers, pears, grapes and blackberries. All work is done with a tiller, rake and hoe.
I thank God for the strength and ability at my age.
My mom and dad have been the real reason I enjoy garden- ing. My parents always seemed to have flowers and vegeta- bles growing around the farm. Dad's mom had a real green thumb, and he seemed to have inherited it from her. Although Mom was busy raising two young'ns and Dad farmed and then worked off the farm for years, we put something in the ground each spring. He retired from Lowe's Home Improvement in 2003 at age 82 because of health problems, but with a lot of help from Mom he put in his garden in 2004. He said that garden was his "physical and mental therapy" and would keep him going.
They filled up any available piece of ground and pot with flowers and vegetables. Many times when he was too sick to be outside or had to spend a few days in the hospital, we would talk for hours about the next garden he would put in, or what I should try in my garden here in the mountains.
Dad died in October 2005. This picture was made in 2004 in his last garden. He and Mom had a bumper crop of green beans that year. Mom and I canned, and Dad gave away more beans that I can ever remember in the years past. I think the look on their faces shows just how much they enjoyed what they were doing.
We're planning another garden this year, one on the farm and one up here at my house. I 'spect Dad will have a good seat helping us tend these gardens and watching them grow.
Growing up on a farm, at age 9 I was given a small plot of land next to the family garden where I could grow flowers. I have continued for over 80 years. I enjoy the entire process of gardening: looking at the seed and flower catalogs in the win- ter, deciding what and where to plant, keeping the weeds out, then gathering in the items as they mature and sharing and selling the results. I have a small farmer's market at my home.
For me, gardening is pleasure and not work. I tell people that a little dust in the house does not bother me, but the weeds in the garden do. I am closer to my Lord while "play- ing" in the garden than anywhere else on earth.
I love to till the soil and watch seeds sprout into plants and then grow to vegetables. I also love to watch my blueberries, grapes and pears produce fruit. We are able to freeze, can and preserve our fruits and vegetables so we can enjoy them all year.
I especially enjoy my grandsons helping me prepare the soil for planting. This is a picture of my 2-year-old grandson, Ashton Rasberry, helping me prepare the soil for planting.
He is "my little dirt farmer." As you can see he really gets into his work. We had dug our potatoes and were preparing our soil to plant another crop. He and his 5-year-old brother, Luke, help me do everything in the garden from tilling to gathering the vegetables. It is an education for them and a lot of fun for all of us when we are gardening.

Hubble Captures a Grand View of the Birth of "Hefty" Stars
Pictures taken in infrared and visible light by the Hubble telescope recount a vivid story of the turbulent birthing process of massive stars.
The images show that powerful radiation and high-speed material unleashed by "hefty" adult stars residing in the hub of the 30 Doradus Nebula are triggering a new burst of star birth in the surrounding suburbs. Like their adult relatives, the fledgling stars are creating all sorts of havoc in their environment. Nascent stars embedded in columns of gas and dust, for example, are blowing away the tops of their nurseries, like a volcano blasting material into the sky. Jets of material streaming from another developing star are slamming into surrounding dust and gas in opposite directions, causing it to glow in moving patterns. These views [the top panel taken in visible light, the bottom in infrared] represent part of the highly active region of star birth.
Images taken in infrared and visible light by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope recount a vivid story of the turbulent birthing process of massive stars.
The pictures show that powerful radiation and high-speed material unleashed by "hefty" adult stars residing in the hub of the 30 Doradus Nebula are triggering a new burst of star birth in the surrounding suburbs. Like their adult relatives, the fledgling stars are creating all sorts of havoc in their environment. Nascent stars embedded in columns of gas and dust, for example, are blowing away the tops of their nurseries, like a volcano blasting material into the sky. Jets of material streaming from another developing star are slamming into surrounding dust and gas in opposite directions, causing it to glow in moving patterns.
The stellar action is happening relatively nearby, 170,000 light-years from Earth in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way. This backyard nursery is a great laboratory for studying the details of the birth and development of "hefty" stars and multiple-star systems.
"This region is larger and contains more massive stars than any similar object in our galaxy," says astronomer Nolan R. Walborn of the Space Telescope Science Institute in Baltimore, Md. "In fact, it is the largest such nebula in the entire Local Group of galaxies. We're able to clearly see objects in the Large Magellanic Cloud because their light is not blocked by interstellar dust, which impedes our study of objects in the Milky Way. Furthermore, it is near enough that individual stars and gaseous structures within it can be studied in detail with large telescopes.
"Thus, 30 Doradus provides a model for interpreting even larger starbursts in distant galaxies, for which detailed resolution is not possible. The Hubble images of 30 Doradus reveal characteristics of massive star birth never before seen so clearly, and some of them not at all."
The creator of these powerful cosmic forces is R136, a two-million-year-old central cluster of massive stars. These "heavy" stars have temperatures 10 times that of the Sun and masses up to 100 times greater. Such stars emit prodigious amounts of energy through ultraviolet radiation and high-speed gas. They shed bubbles of material at speeds of thousands of miles per second, which collide with surrounding dense clouds composed predominantly of cold, molecular hydrogen. Some of the clouds collapse, igniting a spate of second-generation stars. Most of these new stars are less than a million years old.
Astronomers have not determined how many fledgling stars reside in 30 Doradus, but they estimate the number to be in the thousands, which is a significant fraction of the original generation of stars. All of these stars are packed into a 600-light-year-wide nebula.
Ultraviolet light emitted by the hot stars that make up R136 energizes the clouds of gas, illuminating the surrounding region and showing off the tempestuous activity. The images of this region, taken with the Wide Field and Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) and the Near Infrared Camera and Multi-Object Spectrometer (NICMOS), show immense clouds of dust, several in the form of pillars 5 to 10 light-years tall, giant incubators where young stars and multiple star systems are forming. Resembling the towers of the Eagle Nebula, these columns of dust are oriented toward the luminous central star cluster, suggesting that the cluster's powerful emissions are creating these stellar nurseries.
Radiation emitted by some of the fledgling stars has begun to erode their natal dust columns; their emergence from these columns can be seen in the visible-light images. But others are still completely immersed in their stellar incubators. These newborn stars can be discerned only in the infrared images, and many of them have never before been seen. Astronomers have inferred that many of these new stars, based on their total brightnesses, also have very large masses.
Other new stars are shooting twin jets of material into the surrounding clouds of dust and gas, causing them to glow. These jets suggest that the stars have rotating disks of material surrounding them. The disks shape and aim the jets.
"The observation of bipolar outflows from massive star formation suggests that accretion disks are essential in forming 'heavy' stars, just as they have been established to be a crucial factor in creating low-mass stars in our solar neighborhood," Dr. Walborn explains.
This wave of star birth will continue to migrate farther out in the nebula. In a few million years, 30 Doradus will be a giant shell of hot, glowing hydrogen, with its most massive stars around the periphery. The once-thriving hub of 30 Doradus will be much dimmer: the short-lived massive stars in the central cluster (R136) will have disappeared, and only its lower-mass members will still be present.
The WFPC2 pictures were taken in 1994 by two of the camera's designers, astronomers John Trauger of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and James Westphal of the California Institute of Technology, both in Pasadena, Calif. Walborn and Rodolfo Barba' of the La Plata Observatory in La Plata, Argentina, used the visible-light images, together with lower-resolution infrared images from ground-based observatories, as guides to probe deeper into the dusty cloud nurseries with Hubble's infrared camera, NICMOS. The NICMOS pictures were taken in February and March 1998.
Infrared wavelengths are ideal for investigating the birth processes of stars, which occur within dense dust clouds that absorb, sometimes completely, the visible wavelengths of light. The longer, infrared wavelengths can penetrate the dust much more easily, emerging from the clouds to bring astronomers information about what is occurring in their interiors. The combination of visible and infrared images of the same celestial field is often very useful for these studies because of the striking differences they display.

Incoming Iowa freshman Brennan Cougill gets his first real taste of major college basketball on Monday when he faces Northern Iowa's Jordan Eglseder.
Cougill won't be able to match up physically with Eglseder, that's pretty much obvious. Eglseder stands 7-foot-1 and weighs about 300 pounds and has been played Division I basketball for several years. I'm just interested in how Cougill uses his skills to combat Eglseder's advantages. If Cougill can compete for rebounds, make good passes, hit shots in the paint and the perimeter and play good defense, it will be telling toward his development this year.
Cougill plays for Vinton Merchants, which includes future Iowa teammate Anthony Tucker and UNI's Kerwin Dunham and Jake Koch. Eglseder plays for Mike Gatens Real Estate/McCurrys, which includes incoming Iowa freshman Eric May, Iowa's John Lickliter and UNI's Brian Haak. That game begins at 6 p.m. Monday in the older gym at the North Liberty Recreation Center.

Google can deny it all day long but the fact is that the Android ecosystem is suffering from hardware fragmentation and things aren't looking like they are going to get better any time soon. One of the main hardware difference between Android devices is he GPU which is part of the SoC (System On a Chip / Chipset) powering the handset. There's currently three big players in the market today: Qualcomm's SnapDragon SoC with the Adreno 200 GPU, TI OMAP 3XXX with the Power VR SGX 530/535 and finally Samsung's Hummingbird (S5PC110A01) with a PowerVR SGX540 GPU all three of them feature a CortexA8 CPU core. Android and Me wrapped up a couple of benchmarks comparing them and the final verdict is clear as bottled water. Samsung's Hummingbird is heads and shoulder above the competition thanks to the SGX540 GPU, followed by TI's and Qualcomm's chipsets. This should come as no surprise, the SGX540 is currently the most powerful mobile GPU on the market but one has to take into account the quality of the drivers. Qualcomm has been far behind in this sector ever since its acquisition of AMD/ATI's mobile GPU division nearly 2 years ago. Benchmarks conducted on Windows Mobile devices like the HTC HD2 (SnapDragon with Adreno 200/AMD Z430 GPU) have shown up to a %500 increase in performance in some bechnmarks when homemade/tweaked drivers where used instead of the ones supplied with the retail device. This doesn't mean that it can rival Samsung's SGX540 equipped handsets like the Galaxy S line of Android phones but SnapDragon based devices would have graphics performances more in line with what you should expect from a hing-end smartphone in 2010. It will be interesting to see how things will be like on Microsoft's Windows Phone 7 platform (Only Qualcomm is certified to provide chipset for the first WP7 handsets) now that Microsoft will provide/certify the drivers. From what I have seen the graphics performance of the prototype devices is tons better than what we have now on the market. It has been said by me many times (and others who have played with the Samsung Taylor): the UI of WP7 ( Direct3D fully hardware accelerate by the Adreno GPU) is more responsive than the iPhone. Things will only get better in the future when devices like the HTC Mondrian WP7 handset will supposedly feature the updated Snapdragon core and when Google finally sets minimum performance and hardware requirement in a future version of Android (rumored to come in Android 3.0).

In case you've spent the past day trapped under a fallen tower of newspapers, catch up here: An assistant trying to schedule a meeting with Rep. Jim McDermott (D-Wash.) ran into trouble (crazy, insane, screaming trouble) when s/he accidentally addressed scheduler Elizabeth Becton as "Liz." This launched a series of 19 increasingly bizarre e-mails of our buddy Liz demanding to know WHO TOLD THIS PERSON TO CALL HER LIZ, with the assistant apologizing in every single one of the responses, all to no avail.
In the meantime, Wonkette's calling Lizzie-Bo-Bizzie "the meanest person in DC," having also discovered more nasty Beckton e-mails in its archives. At least one Facebook group has popped up in reference and/or reverence to Besty/Bitsy/Bethy/whatever. Look, sex scandals are so last season. How many more affairs can Congressmen have at this rate? But this e-mail scandal just keeps on giving.

My favorite characters are the hen and chicks because they made the bread and they made it homemade. Then hen did the right thing to her friends.
My favorite part was when the bread came out of the oven. It was funny because the smell of the bread took up the whole barn and the hen's friends wanted to eat it. But the hen said, "Cluck, cluck, no". The hen's friends didn't help, so they didn't get to eat.
I have read other versions of the The Little Red Hen, written by other people. In the other Little Red Hen, I have at home, there are four friends instead of three, and they were different animals except for the pig. In both of the books, the little red hen bakes bread, and her chicks get enough to help. Also, like the book I have at home, the hen's friends are lazy and don't help her. In both books they also end the same way.
I recommend this book because it's a good book and it shows you not to be lazy and to help your friends. It also teaches you to help your parents at home. I think toddlers through fourth grade would like this book.

As it so happens, this is 10 minutes from my house. So, I saw a news clip on this issue this morning and grabbed my camera and went out.
Here is the story:
The Tom Riley Park STAIRS brew-ha-ha that has gone INTERNATIONAL. CNN picked it up, the BBC picked it up (so I am told) and the local media is a buzz and all over this story!
What's the story?
There is a parking lot near Bloor and Islington that leads down a treacherous slope to the park below and what looks like, allotments for gardens. Residents have fallen taking this short cut. There is a proper entrance to the area on the other side of the park which is completely inconvenient to those coming in from Bloor.
The answer?
Someone had a ROPE attached to the guard rail and people simple repelled down the slope. One person slipped and broke a wrist doing it.
So, local retired resident Adi Asti build a really nice wooden staircase. Why? Because he approached the City and they said it would cost up to $150,000!!
I love the City of Toronto! Such a fun place to have your tax money spent.
Adi built the stairs for $500! Did a nice job too.
City REMOVED Adi's stairs, Pronto-Quick.
The good news is..... they are putting in a PROPER staircase by next Friday! $15,000. It will be concrete, and safe, of course!
As you might anticipate, I am sure our TAXES SHOULD GO UP BY 10% NEXT YEAR TO COVER THE COST!
Seriously, you think they aren't already thinking about it!!!

For those who have never attended, the Isle of Man TT is truly a special race. I will concede the point that saying that the TT is merely "a special race" is a bit trite, as there is so much that encompasses the full experience one gets during the TT fortnight, that it becomes hard to explain to someone who has never attended the TT, even veteran motorcycle race journalists, what it is that makes the TT so special.
Part of this equation is the racing spectacle itself. Set on a small island in the Irish Sea, the Isle of Man's quaint few towns serve as the venue for tens of thousands of motorsport enthusiasts, while the roads between these villages are connected by the island's lush countryside. It is hard to travel around the Isle without the island's beauty striking you — something that is captured extremely well with the race's many aerial shots via helicopter, but not fully grasped until it is witnessed in person.
The fan experience is truly unique as well. Inside the paddock in Douglas, the atmosphere is campy, an almost carnival affair, and while virtually any other racing venue would sequester the teams and riders from the fans, the TT's paddock is wide-open, with the team garages setup rows, and constructed in an open pavilion layout that encourages passersby to stop, lean on the waist-high barriers that are maybe 10 feet from the mechanics' bike lifts, and strike up a conversation with any team member that doesn't seem to have a task at hand.
The experience is tenfold when one of the riders is present, which they often are, and even the greats of the sport are approachable and genuinely engaged with their fan base. Try getting that same experience at the next MotoGP or WSBK event you attend, and even in the AMA paddock you would be hard-pressed to get so much access and interaction to what goes on behind the scenes.
Then there is of course the racing, which all occurs on city streets and mountain roads. In the Superbike classes, the average speeds of the top riders exceeds 130 mph, with top speeds in the fastest sections cracking past 200 mph with regularity. Again I reiterate, this is all occurring on city streets, littered full of telephone polls, houses, trees, and of course fans. Speaking of fans on the course, imagine watching a race from the side of a hedgerow, at worst only 10 feet from the action, and in some cases only a few inches away. Experiencing motorcycle racing at such propinquity will take your breath away, if not figuratively then literally.
In my short time running Asphalt & Rubber, I have had the opportunity to cover motorcycle racing on four continents, and as I travel to my second Isle of Man TT, I know the next two weeks of racing will be unlike anything I have covered before in MotoGP, World Superbike, or AMA Pro Racing.

*** For background information on my Osmothèque Reviews,
In and amongst the many notes I feverishly tried to make whilst devouring this much-missed divinity were the following words: 'If we still had this, we wouldn't need any other irises.' I could fill paragraph after paragraph with impassioned outpourings about the scent's merits, but they'd all come down to the sentiments expressed in that very straightforward line: Iris Gris is quite simply the most heart-stopping iris perfume I have ever had the pleasure to experience. There have, of course, been several worthy attempts to steal its filigreed crown. Iris Silver Mist gives it a good run for its shiny coins - and it enjoys the honour of being one of the finest iris perfumes currently in production - but it never quite manages to conceal the hauteur behind its inscrutable exterior. Hiris quite rightly has many fans too, but it's arguably a touch too angular and unapproachable. L'Artisan Parfumeur's limited edition Iris Pallida is gorgeous, but it doesn't reach the same profundities as Iris Gris. And Iris Poudre deserves a mention too, but ultimately, it's more concerned with the 'poudre' side of things - and with reinterpreting Chanel's No 5 - than it is with the iris. So, to date, Roubert reigns supreme.

In the midst of the Google I/O annual developer conference this week, Genuitec and Skyway Software have teamed up to announce MyEclipse G, a new IDE focused on Google developer technologies for the cloud.
Its makers say that MyEclipse G can help developers create multiple frameworks for the Google App Engine web applications infrastructure. The product's key features include its 'studio-type' functionality, which automates the provision of project architecture and implementation.
"MyEclipse G gives developers a high-productivity environment to accomplish multiple application development tasks at once; such as simultaneously creating cloud-ready applications for Google Web Toolkit (GWT), Android, Sitebricks, Google Guice, JSF 2.0, and Adobe Flex," said Maher Masri, CEO of Genuitec.
The new product's UI generates complete "create, read, update, and delete" (CRUD) applications for Google App Engine (GAE) and GAE for Business. MyEclipse G then auto-generates all layers from the UI to services and data access, all the while integrated with Google Guice.
Developers can choose whether their application runs on GAE for Business with JPA and Hibernate or on regular GAE using Objectify. MyEclipse G provides Android native client generation that new users should find generally familiar.
"The ability to rapidly develop functioning, cloud-ready applications is no longer just the realm of high-end developers," said Jack Kennedy, vice president of product development for Skyway Software. " MyEclipse G supports Java EE 6 and HTML5 and is built on the latest Eclipse release, Helios."

As a restricted free agent, Stevie Brown had the opportunity to seek offers from other teams that would be interested in his services. Brown had until April 19 to sign an offer sheet with another team. Instead, Brown decided he wanted to return to the New York Giants and signed his restricted free agent tender on Tuesday.
Brown tweeted a picture of himself signing the deal with a message to Giants fans as well.
Brown was given a second-round tender by the Giants that will pay him $2.02 million this season. If another team had signed Brown to an offer sheet, the Giants would have had the opportunity to match the deal. If they chose not to, they would have received a second round pick from the team in compensation.
Brown appeared in all 16 games, with 11 starts, for New York last season. Brown racked up 76 tackles, two forced fumbles and eight interceptions for the Giants last season. His eight picks were tied with Richard Sherman of the Seattle Seahawks for second most in the league with only Tim Jennings of the Chicago Bears having more with nine.
