Lewis, an offensive lineman with Illinois University played the entire 2013 season with an ACL tear according to reports. |
Offensive tackle, Lewis has torn the ligament four times in his career and when he felt a problem during pre-season training, he just ignored it. |
"I felt that if I could play, there was no reason to MRI it and get shut down if something came out of the MRI," said Lewis. "I just wanted to play my last season." |
After two successful years with the Fighting Illini, during which he was awarded All-Big 10 academic honors, Lewis missed two and a half seasons with his knee problems. |
He went through five surgeries in order to return for this season and help out his teammates. |
Lewis' knee damage could put pay to a professional career, but he will be attending a pro day this year to lift weights and potentially be drafted by an NFL team. |
If he is unsuccessful, Lewis already has a Masters degree and ambitions of being an Athletic Director one day. |
Thank you for your reporting. |

What format does ardour use when recording raw data? |

In other words when I arm a track and hit record, how much storage space is used in the raw recording/tracking. Also is this same data volume summed for each track (ie 2 tracks twice the storage space) |
I assume it depends on the jack sample rate and bit rate, but I know there are different lossless formats so I wanted to check before I over run my Mac's harddrive. |

Ardour uses an uncompressed format to store audio in. You can select which format specifically in the Options menu. Sampe Rate is derived form whatever Ardour(And Jack thusly) is running at. |
And yes obviously for each channel you record you will need to add that to the equation when figuring out disk space. |

ESQUIRE: [To the waitress] You recommend anything along the popover line? |
WAITRESS: You'll automatically get one. It depends on what kind of eggs you have. |
JEFF DANIELS: Oatmeal and that chicken-sausage thing. And coffee. And whole-wheat toast. |
ESQ: I was thinking Eggs Popeye. |
WAITRESS: Good choice. Good choice. |
ESQ: I'm a picky eater. You like oatmeal? |
JD: My heart likes it. |
ESQ: You did the play last night. What time did you get to bed? |
JD: It's a quick show — 90 minutes and you're bowing. We went out. We had a friend here. |
ESQ: Four Tony nominations — unprecedented. |
JD: Four Best Actors in the same play. |
ESQ: Must be tough toting [James] Gandolfini's ass every night. |
JD: He's the most generous guy, works harder than any of us. You know, he's not Tony Soprano. He really isn't. |
ESQ: What a mixed blessing that role turned out to be. |
JD: One of the things we realized after the first or second preview — and I know he felt it — was the genuine love and affection that poured over the footlights, thanking him for eight great years of a character they absolutely loved. It was this kind of "thank you" from that. It was really cool. |
ESQ: You ever get some of that yourself? |
JD: Dumb and Dumber. [They'll say] "Man, I gotta tell you..." "Yeah, tell me." "That toilet scene — sorry, you probably don't want to hear this." And I go, "No, it's all right. It's all right." |
ESQ: You've talked about visiting wounded soldiers at Walter Reed, and they all loved that movie and that made it art. |
JD: If it connects with people, and 25 out of 25 soldiers want to talk about it because it connected with them and made them laugh? The defense rests. |
ESQ: You've said that a director should be able to tell you what he wants in five words or less. |
JD: Five words. Demme's like that. Altman was like that. Woody is like that. Clint. They just say, "Go ahead." Or "Do this." Or "How about that?" Okay, rolling. If I gotta listen to you talk, then you don't need me. I come in, I get it in two takes. You're going to like me. I'm gonna save you a lot of money, and you ca... |
ESQ: Why won't they come out? |
JD: Stars don't want to have flaws. Stars like to be likable. The Squid and the Whale is a perfect example. You get to the end scene, and that's the point where the star turns to Noah Baumbach, the director, and says, "You know what'd be good? If I had a speech, heart-to-heart, a lot of tears. I've actually written som... |
ESQ: You're married to your high school sweetheart. You still live in Michigan. You've had the same agent for decades. For God's sake, where's the dark side? Is it all oatmeal in there? |
JD: I've tried to channel that side of myself into the work. I don't think it serves anyone around me to put them through that just because I'm an artist and temperamental and manic-depressive are requirements. Why not just handle it? When you need to get that shit out of your system, do it onstage or between "action" ... |
ESQ: What kind of father are you? More oatmeal? |
JD: My boys played hockey. We were in hockey for 15 years — travel hockey. Serious shit. And when your dad's in Dumb and Dumber, it's a good thing and it's a bad thing — "You think you're so fuckin' cool, your dad's in the movies, fuck you." "Dad, he said this to me." So I hung a hockey helmet on the nail on the wall, ... |
ESQ: I don't know how much space we'll have in the magazine for all this. |
JD: Five sentences. I've seen that happen. "I'm sorry, I thought you were Jeff Bridges." Five sentences. |
ESQ: He's in the same group as you: great actors who maybe sniffed the A-List at some point. |
JD: I've stood next to it. I've watched it cash its check. |
ESQ: Funny thing, the A-List. |
JD: Yes. Yes, it is. That's why I live in Michigan. |

Chelsea showed barely a flicker of jet lag from their Far East excursions as they vanquished a sorry Leeds United 5-1 in the Capital One Cup quarter-final. |
Leeds actually lead the Champions League winners at half-time after Jerome Thomas capitalised on David Luíz going walkabout again to cross for Luciano Becchio to expertly finish past Petr Čech. |
However the Whites' advantage masked a half dominated by the visitors. Jamie Ashdown repelled several long-range efforts to preserve the slender advantage until he cracked a minute after the pause. Juan Mata didn't connect cleanly yet the ball slithered through the flimsy ex-Portsmouth goalkeeper and Chelsea were level... |
Torres celebrates Chelsea's fifth |
Seventeen minutes later Branislav Ivanović headed the four-times League Cup winners ahead from Frank Lampard's corner for the first of a four-goal 20-minute goal glut. |
Victor Moses doubled the deficit two minutes later before Eden Hazard assured Chelsea's passage through to the last four when one-on-one with Ashdown. Fernando Torres rounded off the scoring with his sixth goal of the Rafael Benítez era against another underwhelming opponent. |
Is Junk Food REALLY Cheaper Than Healthy Food??? |
I enjoy learning about health and nutrition and read lots of books and articles on the subject. It seems I keep coming across this particular comment – “Junk food is cheaper than healthy food…” I just read an article about the latest obesity rankings for different states and this comment was made in the article. So, my... |
For instance, the cheapest food at McDonald’s is probably the dollar menu. You can get a small fry for a dollar (yes, I know this because I partake on a rare occasion). I just bought fresh fruit & veggies the other day and paid 98 cents for a whole cantaloupe, 98 cents for 3 fuji apples, $1 for 4 ears of corn, and $2.4... |
Also, every family dinner I make can be done for under $10 – some as cheap as $5 (except the occasional steak dinner, but when ribeye goes under $4 a pound, we get steak!). If a 4 person family ate out at about $5 per fast food meal, it’d cost $20. How is that cheaper? Is my math wrong…? |
Maybe I’m missing something here. I just don’t get it. I concede that it takes a little effort to buy what’s on sale and know what a good price is. I just don’t understand who decided junk is cheaper. Someone, please enlighten me! It’s driving me CRAZY!! |

I agree with you. I think they say this just so that can tax junk food... would it work in reducing us eating it? I don't know. It could be that they are going by figures such as how many pounds of sugar a person eats in a year, etc., as you are more likely to eat multiple servings of sugary foods than you are healthy ... |

It's true in a way, but also not, depending on how you look at things. Fast food ends up being cheap if it is only for one person, if you have more to feed you're better off cooking it. Grocery stores will have a lot of cheap, sugary things and over processed items that need to have nutrients added, but if you really l... |

Maybe they are comparing fast food restaurants to sit-down restaurants? A $2 box of gummi fruits with 12 servings would be cheaper per serving than 6 fuji apples I guess. I know a loaf of white bread is cheaper than the really good whole grain stuff. I'm stretching here, because really I agree with you. If you plan you... |

Totally agree with you! This particular piece of "common knowledge" has had me scratching my head for years; particularly the part about it being even harder for single people to eat healthy inexpensively. |
My own math works like this. I spend roughly $120 a week on groceries. I eat 21 meals a week and 21 snacks a week....3 of each everyday. $120 divided by 42 "eating events" averages $2.85 per event. |
How, exactly, is that more expensive than going to a burger joint and paying $5-7 per meal? |
I could eat a lot more cheaply. I'm willing and able to pay for salmon and steak, so I do. But, when money gets tight I can cut my bill down to $70 or so and still eat healthy. |
And that's not even considering the long-term costs of being unhealthy. IMHO, this "it's too expensive to eat healthy" myth is just another convenient excuse not to take responsibility for your own health. |

I don't think eating out is cheaper than eating at home. I know where I live fruit is extremely expensive all year so you really have to watch for sales. My sister and I did a comparison I have a family of 4 and she has one of 3. she eats a lot of junk and does get more food. one time it was buy a bag of chips get a ba... |
she got a big box of cheez it's for $3.00 I got 3 apples. |
she was laughing at me that she was getting more for her buck which she was but I was getting better quality food. I was paying 2.99 per lb for chicken breast so my package was something like $11.00 she paid 6 for a big frozen pizza. If they would raise the prices of junk food and lowered more healthy food it would be ... |

I am not here to say junkfood is cheaper persay but go buy and apple, verses the dollar menu. |
What IS going to satisfy the public generally in the moment? |
I'd say that the dollar menu would. |
