Schubert, Franz (Seraph Peter) (b Vienna, 1797; d Vienna, 1828). Austrian composer. Son of impoverished schoolmaster, who was his first teacher. In 1808 admitted as boy sop. to imperial chapel, living in the Konvikt. Played vn. in sch. orch., for which he wrote his 1st Sym. (1813). Became pupil of Salieri for theory, 1812. Left Konvikt when v. broke 1813, and worked as ass. schoolmaster to father, but continued to compose prolifically. Frequently attended opera in Vienna and wrote his first opera, Des Teufels Lustschloss in 1814, the first of many stage works, none of which was successful. On 19 Oct. 1814 set Goetheæs Gretchen am Spinnrade, his first masterpiece and the song that, it is inaccurately but understandably said, gave birth to the Lied. This released a flood of inspiration. In 1815 Schubert comp. 144 songs, incl. 8 in one day in Oct. In addition, comp. a sym., 2 Masses, and other works. Altogether wrote over 600 songs, of which about 200 are different settings of poems he had already setŚhe set some poems (particularly those by Goethe and Schiller) up to 6 times.
In 1817 he abandoned teaching and lived in Vienna with one or other of his friends, among whom the poet Mayrhofer was the closest. They talked, drank, discussed the questions of the day, and made mus. in coffee-houses and at their homes. Schubert also met at this time the bar. Michael Vogl, one of the outstanding opera singers of the day, who became the foremost interpreter of his songs, often acc. by the composer. Apart from church mus., the first public concert of Schubertæs mus. was in Mar. 1818, at which were perf. (on 2 pf.) the ovs. he had written in imitation of Rossini, whose operas were all the rage in Vienna from 1816. In 1818 spent summer as teacher to the 2 daughters of Count Johann Esterhßzy at summer estate at Zseliz, where he heard Slav and gipsy folk-mus. On return to Vienna, Schubert lived with Mayrhofer and H³ltenbrenner, latter acting as factotum, assembling Schubertæs MSS. His Singspiel, Die Zwillingsbr³der, received 6 perfs. in Vienna in June 1820, with Vogl singing the roles of the twin brothers; and in Aug. his incidental mus. for Die Zauberharfe was used at the Theater an der Wien. Other works comp. in this period were the æTroutÆ Quintet, written at Steyr, Upper Austria, during holiday in 1819 with Vogl, the oratorio Lazarus, setting of Psalm 23, Wanderer Fantasy, and the Quartettsatz. In 1821 Diabelli pubd. song Erlk÷nig, the first mus. by Schubert to appear in print. Others followed. In 1820-1, the Schubert circle of friends changed as some members left Vienna. Among new associates were painters Leopold Kupelweiser and Moriz von Schwind, and musician Franz Lachner.
In 1821 sketched his 7th Sym., in E major, but left it unorch. (several musicians have æcompletedÆ it, among them J. F. Barnett, 1884, Felix Weingartner, 1935, and Brian Newbould, 1977). The following year, comp. an 8th Sym. in B minor, but completed only 2 movts. in full and 130 bars of a scherzo. However, the æUnfinishedÆ Sym. is a complete work of art in itself as it stands. Schubert heard Weber conduct Der Freisch³tz and Euryanthe in Vienna and himself wrote several stage works between 1821 and 1823, the operas Alfonso und Estrella and Der hõusliche Krieg, and incidental mus. for Rosamunde, F³rstin von Cypern, a play by Helmina von Chķzy (librettist of Euryanthe) which ran for 2 perfs.
Ill-health began to trouble Schubert in 1823; while in hospital that year comp. some of the songs of the song-cycle Die sch÷ne M³llerin. At Zseliz in 1824 with the Esterhßzy family, wrote A minor str. qt. and Grand Duo for pf. duet. In the summer of 1825, joined Vogl for a 5-month tour of Austria, composing all the time. At Gmunden and Gastein said to have comp. a sym. of which no trace has been found, but modern scholarship tends to take the view that this is the æGreatÆ C major Sym. (No.9), usually ascribed to 1828 but now thought to date from 1825. Scholarship is equally divided over what personal contact there was between Schubert and Beethoven, but incontrovertibly Schubert was a torchbearer at Beethovenæs funeral in 1827 and had earlier visited him on his deathbed.
The last 2 years of Schubertæs short life are fully documented in Schubert: The Final Years by John Reed (1972). To them belong the song-cycle Winterreise, the Eb pf. trio, Moments musicaux and 3 pf. sonatas, many songs, and Str. Quintet in C major. All Schubertæs mus., even the happiest, has a tinge of sadness; the works of his last years, when illness increasingly afflicted him, are at an extreme of poignancy. In Mar. 1828 gave a public concert of his works in Vienna. It made a profit for him, but none of the cityæs mus. critics attended. Died on 19 Nov. 1828 and was buried near to Beethoven at Wõhring. Both composers were later exhumed and reburied in the Central Cemetery of Vienna.
Many of the works by Schubert which we hold most dear were not perf. until several years after his death. As a composer of songs he has no equal in fertility of melodic invention, but all his work is so graced with melody of the most seraphic kind that there was at one time a tendency to regard him as an æundisciplinedÆ composer for whom form meant little. How wrong a judgement this was can be realized simply by studying the great chamber works and late pf. sonatas alone. He ranks among the very greatest of composers in all forms except opera, and concs. (of which he wrote none), and the listener has a lifetime of discoveries among his vast output.

Sioux Falls Drops to Third Safest City for Driving in United States
After enjoying a run of five number one rankings in eight years, Sioux Falls has slipped a bit on the list of safest driving cities in the country.
According to the ninth annual Allstate America's Best Drivers Report, South Dakota's largest city is the third safest in the U.S., behind Fort Collins, Colorado and Boise, Idaho. Sioux Falls had been #1 in five of the previous eight years, including last year.
Each year, Allstate does an in-depth analysis of claims to determine the likelihood drivers in America's 200 largest cities will experience an accident compared to the national average.
Drivers in Sioux Falls are nearly 22 percent less likely to be in a collision compared to the national average, going, on average, nearly 13 years between accidents.
The rest of the Top Ten:
4. Brownsville, Texas
5. Madison, Wisconsin
6. Reno, Nevada
7. Huntsville, Alabama
8. Visalia, California
9. Montgomery, Alabama
10. Eugene, Oregon
The worst driving cities are:
1. Washington D.C.
2. Baltimore
3. Providence, Rhode Island
4. Hialeah, Florida
5. Glendale, California
Last year, when Sioux Falls held the top ranking, drivers were 28 percent less likely to be in a collision compared to the national average, going, on average, nearly 14 years between accidents.

One detailed reply talked about street traffic impact in Cambridge due to frequent blocking of Broadway and Mass Ave crossings. Using this point as background and considering downtown Cambridge (ie, MIT/Kendall Square area) as the destination/origin for metrowest suburb commuting (ie, not North Station), why not the operate DMU shuttles (or maybe selected rush hour trains) only as far east as a platform at Vassar St and Mass Ave to avoid crossing any streets at all? This location would be about a quarter of mile from Kendall Square station for Charles/MGH or Harvard Square commuters.

Keolis has been the operating partner for trials of the Navya shuttle in the public transport market both in Europe and North America. 'The USA is not yet ready to go fully autonomous', suggested Maurice Bell, Vice President for Mobility Solutions at Keolis Transit America. Widespread adoption 'could take up to 10 years', he felt, but the economic advantages of the operating model were likely to appeal to many city authorities, especially where on-demand options could replace full-scale bus operations. 'Equally I envisage 10 or 15 of these shuttles operating in tandem — that would mean the end of the streetcar in urban centres', he added.

The Traffic Monitoring System (TMS) Team administers the Maryland State Highway Administration's Traffic Monitoring Program. The program is responsible for the collection, processing, analysis, summarization, and dissemination of Maryland highway traffic data and is supported by a comprehensive, user friendly, management information computer database system.
Traffic Monitoring System Program
This document provides a brief description of our program, the sources, methodologies and procedures used to collect, validate; calculate and apply adjustment, axle-correction, and growth factors; and calculate Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) counts. In addition, the document describes the traffic data reports that culminate from the process, such as the Traffic Trends Report, the Traffic Volume Maps, and the Truck Volume Maps.
Traffic Data Collecting Information
The most recent roadside safety procedures and guidelines required by SHA for traffic counting. It also includes templates for traffic counting data for use by our consultants.
AADT Locator
This is a very simple tool wherein a user can enter a full or partial street address to find AADT's for that address (if one exists) by way of the Address Search option. The tool displays AADT & AAWDT (Annual Average Weekday Traffic) for locations within a search distance of that address. An alternate way to find an AADT is by using the Route Search option wherein the user selects the County, Road Name / Route Number. The AADT locations are plotted in Google Maps and the list is displayed in a results window. The search panels, maps and results are all components of the same window.
Internet Traffic Monitoring System (I-TMS)
The I-TMS provides access to detailed traffic count data. Similar to AADT Locator, I-TMS also has Address Search and Route Search options wherein the user can filter for the required locations. The tool then displays the locations in the results tab. The user can select an individual location to view reports (Class, Volume, etc.).
Traffic Volume Maps
This is a graphical representation of the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) numbers displayed at each location on Maryland's road network. Traffic counts are reported as the number of vehicles expected to pass a given location on an average day of the year for all traffic-counting stations in the state.
Truck Volume Maps
The Truck Volume Maps are graphical representations which depict the average percentages of trucks at various locations on Maryland s roadways by county. Also included at these locations is the current Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT).
Maryland's Traffic Trends
This tabular report summarizes data from the Automatic Traffic Recorders (ATRs) into factors used to convert a short-term count into an AADT number. The factors reflect day of week, monthly, and seasonal variations of traffic flow.
GIS Traffic Count Data
Traffic data, including Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT), Annual Average Weekday Daily Traffic (AAWDT) and Truck Percentages is available for download from our website as shapefile and Keyhole Markup Language (KML) files in NAD 83 Feet Harn.
Traffic Station History 895 KB, 3.4 MB
This tabular report reflects the AADT in Maryland for the last seven years (2012 through 2018). The report lists the county, route number, road name and location, as well as the beginning and ending mile points of the section, or road represented, by the AADT. It also includes the description of the road segment.
AADT, AAWDT & Truck Percentages 980 KB, 3.4 MB
This tabular report reflects the Annual Average Daily Traffic (AADT) , Annual Average Weekday Daily Traffic (AAWDT) & Truck Percentages for 2018 in Maryland. The report lists the county, route number, road name, location, begin mile point, end mile point of the section or road represented by the AADT and the description of the road segment.
Vehicle Classification by Functional Class 417 KB, 172 KB
This report reflects the percent of vehicle classifications by functional class for the years 1998 through 2014.

LANDSLIDE by KC from Casey
The Casey Demons enjoyed the better of their first half against Port Melbourne on Saturday but fell away badly after half time to lose by 43 points. The Borough enjoyed the early break with the game's opening two goals but the Demons took control to go out to an 8 point lead at quarter time, an advantage that it held for most of the second term until a late goal to the visitors clawed the lead back to a point. The Casey ruck of Braydon Preuss and Liam Wale-Buxton were on top for mostDemonland |

SHOULD HAVE ... COULD HAVE by George on the Outer
West Coast finally put the nail in the Demons 2019 season coffin with a 16 point win, but it was a game that Melbourne should have, could have, but didn't win. Once again woeful, truly woeful work in the forward line, both kicking for goal and the lazy, cheap efforts of some let the side down. A solitary goal in the final quarter and only 9 goals from 24+ scoring opportunities was the costly difference in the game. The selectors, once again, made a critical error in not selecting
SCREAM by Whispering Jack
The Norwegian Expressionist artist Edvard Munch painted a number of versions of his famous work "Scream" and, every time my mind goes back to last year's Preliminary Final at Optus Stadium between Melbourne and the West Coast Eagles, each and every one of them reverberates through my mind as if my head is being pummeled by a sledgehammer. When I think of that half time scoreboard from that match showing West Coast at 10.9.69 to Melbourne 0.6.6, I feel like the man standing by the railing,
NOT GAWN IN 60 SECONDS by George on the Outer
You might recall a regular segment that once featured on the MFC website entitled, "Gawn in 60 Seconds", in which Maxy would ask the hard questions of his teammates. However, there was no harder question asked than the one asked collectively of the whole team in the last 60 seconds of Saturday's game against the Gold Coast Suns. It was either follow me and my example or the Demons' season, already hanging flimsily by huuua thread, would be truly "Gorn". It was at that stage when thos
BOILOVER by KC from Casey
The Casey Demons caused the boilover of the season to date when they took on and beat the undefeated ladder leaders Essendon VFL by 41 points at Windy Hill. The stunning result which was achieved with a season low of eight AFL-listed players, will surely kickstart the Demons' ailing season after they lost their last two matches as a result of some poor third quarter fade outs against quality opposition. Casey got off to a great start with a mid-air soccer volley goal from Jimmy Munro
LITTLE RAY OF SUNSHINE by Whispering Jack
There would be very few among us who would have thought realistically at the start of the season that by the time Melbourne's Round 8 trip to the Gold Coast came around, the visitors would not only be languishing in 16th place on the ladder, but also be sitting a game behind their hosts. In fact, had the Suns managed to goal late in their opening game against the Saints which they lost by a mere point, the gap between the two sides would have been even wider. Such has been the humiliation o
UNDERDOGS by KC from Casey
Thanks to the large injury list at Melbourne, the Casey Demons went into their fifth round clash with Footscray VFL as the underdogs and despite a courageous showing up to half time after conceding the game's first four goals, their third quarter fade out saw them fall short against quality opposition for the second time in a week. Casey went into the game with only 9 AFL listers after Declan Keilty was called up to make his debut when Tim Smith was forced to pull out of the Melbourne team
IN THE PINK by George on The Outer
A five point victory against the eternal nemesis in Hawthorn, didn't put the Demons back in the black for the 2019 season ... but rather, it added a touch of pink to their fortunes, now showing some sign of life after an underwhelming start to the year. And pink was the most appropriate colour for the side and the supporters, given this game was the annual "Pink Ladies" match. And none more so than this proud Demon fan who turned up to add his support to the cause and his team at the same
EASIER SAID THAN DONE by The Oracle
There is no way of getting around the fact that Melbourne is the disappointment team of the AFL competition and, because it came into the season as a big top four fancy and now sits stone motherless last with a 1-5 win-loss record, it is fast becoming a laughing stock. The only way in which the Demons can restore any sense of pride, let alone its rapidly diminishing hopes of making the finals is for it to overcome Hawthorn on Saturday in the replay of last year's preliminary final.
POINT CRASH by KC from Casey
The Casey Demons went down by the narrowest of margins to a strong Richmond VFL combination in the Round 4 game at Casey Fields on Saturday after a rushed behind to the Tigers in the game's dying moments broke the deadlock. In a low scoring game, Casey took the early ascendency after conceding the first goal and held their lead for most of the first half going into the sheds at the main break with an 8 point lead. The Demons were led in defence by key position players, Oscar McDonald
THE LAST POST by George on the Outer
The Last Post sounded out in memory of the fallen around a packed MCG at the Anzac Eve match against Richmond. The silence of the crowd assembled was in tribute to those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their country. But the Last Post was also an appropriate symbol of the finals aspirations now gone for the Melbourne Football club, after a mere six rounds of the 2019 Season. How far has this team fallen! From a Preliminary final contestant barely six months ago, to cellar dwelle
THE BRIGHT SIDE by Whispering Jack
I don't often agree with Dermott Brereton but he came close to the mark last week when he labelled Melbourne a "team of downhill skiers" that works much harder offensively than it does defensively. And he was looking at the bright side of the team's game plan. That proposition has been clear since before the season started. It was obvious from the first JLT game against Richmond when the team leaked multiple goals in a short space of time as players gave metres away to opposition forwards.

Gisele Bundchen Is Not Only A Supermodel Mama — She's Now A Superhero, Too!
Gisele Bundchen makes time for family and work! The gorgeous gal just launched a new animated web series about going green!
Gisele Bundchen's main focus has always been on her Brady boys, husband Tom Brady, son Benjamin, 11 months, and stepson Jack, 3 (mom is Bridget Moynahan). "I am surrounded by the three gorgeous men in my life," Gisele exclaims to ParentDish.com. "I love my men!" But recently Gisele, 30, has been making some time for other projects! Aside from being a model mama — she just launched an animated AOL web series, Gisele and the Green Team, a show about saving the environment! "I make time for work, my husband and my kids," Gisele says. "Those three things are on my list every day. Those are the things that my life embraces."
Gisele wants more kids — just not yet!
For now she is promoting Gisele and the Green Team, which strives to get young girls to realize their own super powers! "In addition to teaching people about how we can save our earth, this program will also teach girls about empowerment and self-esteem," Gisele explains. "I grew up in a household with five sisters and having that experience I wanted to teach girls about empowerment, confidence and self-esteem. On this show, no one is better than the next. I want to enforce equality and how everyone who plays on a team is equal."
Bridget Moynahan says Jack is an athlete and a thinker!
It's not all about girls though, Gisele has already started to get Jack and Benjamin to go green! "After spending so much time with Jack I saw how he wanted to play with the stuff I was using instead of the toys we bought him," Gisele says. "I gave him [Benjamin] toys from his older brother Jack as opposed to buying all new toys and creating more waste. In terms of clothes, I bought Jack so many clothes and am now using them for Benjamin. Hand me downs work well in this case. This all goes back to my motto: Reduce, recycle and reuse." Can you believe that the Brady boys wear hand me downs?
Jenny McCarthy's baby products are environmentally friendly!
Wow! Gisele is a superhero mommy! "I try really hard to be the best mom I can be and I also try not to be too hard on myself," she says. "I am very grateful and very happy to have them [her boys]. I am so blessed." With her and footballer Tom's crazy schedules, Gisele and her family are always traveling and have to try and make time for each other. "It is good to have a date night. I love date night and it is a great thing I promote," Gisele says. "We always have date night at least once a week. Benjamin goes to sleep around 7:30 pm, and if Tom is home, we always have dinner together so we have time to talk." But talking isn't the only thing on the agenda. Coming from a family of six girls, Gisele has always wanted a big brood. "We are working on that one," she admits of adding to the Brady bunch.

Today Tumblr announced a new policy against "self-harm" blogs, leading us to a sad, dark side of Tumblr we never wanted to know existed. From now on, Tumblr will moderate blogs that "glorify or promote anorexia, bulimia, and other eating disorders; self-mutilation; or suicide," the company explains on their staff blog. The subtext of a change in Tumblr's Content Policy means there are enough of these types of sites to warrant a big public to-do, and it's true we found many examples of such blogs on Tumblr. Here's just a sampling. It's not pretty -- continue at your own discretion (not all are SFW).
Anorexia and Bulimia: Fatty On the Move; You Have to Eat Less to Lose Weight; Mia-Ana
Glorified starvation:
Glorified sickly bone structure:
Glorified forced vomiting:
Cutting: Killing Butterflies and Making Scars; May be triggering; Descent
Suicide: bitshybitstrangebitmanic; The Diary of a Suicidal Girl; My Own Wonderland
Of course, this type of stuff has existed as far back as the anonymous Internet. (In Time in 2001, Jessica Reaves described the burgeoning trend using retro geocities-esque screengrabs). Tumblr, an easy to use and trendy blog platform, inherits this problem at this particular moment and has chosen a zero-tolerance way of banning it. They write, "Online dialogue about these acts and conditions is incredibly important; this prohibition is intended to reach only those blogs that cross the line into active promotion or glorification."
In addition to its ban, Tumblr will show public service announcements on search results for related keywords -- a link to the National Eating Disorder Helpline, for example.
Tumblr plans on implementing these policies next week: "If you are found to be in violation of any of the below policies, you will receive a notice via email. Unless you explain or correct your behavior within 72 hours, your account will be suspended." Some people do not approve. From one angry Tumblrer:
I just want everyone who supports tumblrs new policy to realize what Tumblr perceives as a "problem" and what they believe is the "proper way to handle it"
Have a legitimate issue and use tumblr as a way to vent and talk about?
Tumblr: WOAH NO! That's disgusting and wrong. We best ban you, cause that SURE WILL help you get better.
Others have joined in, calling the policy censorship and a worthless way to "help" people who use these sites as a way to vent. They may have something of a point. But, sadly, given the lengthy history of such content on the Internet, we imagine these folks will simply migrate to another easy-to-use, trendy forum. Pinterest, perhaps?

Target has Amazon in its crosshairs. Fed up that customers scan the store's aisles with one eye on their smartphones, and often end up making purchases online for less — a practice known as showrooming — the big-box retailer Tuesday promised to match Amazon's prices year round.
"We know that our guests often compare prices online," Gregg Steinhafel, Target's chairman, president and CEO said in a statement. If a customer buys a qualifying item at Target TGT, +0.57% and then finds an identical item for less in the following week's Target circular or within seven days on either Amazon.com AMZN, -0.54% Walmart.com, BestBuy.com and Toysrus.com, Target will match the price. "Price-match guarantees are the only way for big-box retailers to survive the Amazon onslaught," says Odysseas Papadimitriou, CEO of financial website WalletHub.com. See 4 things that will cost less in 2013
Other retailers may follow Target's lead. "This might ultimately spur WalMart to match its own online prices," says Edgar Dworksy, founder of ConsumerWorld.org. Best Buy has price-matching with Amazon.com and other websites until the end of January, but a spokeswoman declined to say if it will continue. Toys 'R' Us only matches online prices on baby gear sold by rival online stores, including Wal-Mart, Target, Sears, Kmart and Amazon. Wal-Mart matches prices in printed ads by local retailers, but this does not extend to online prices; a spokeswoman for the company declined to comment on future plans. (Amazon did not respond to requests for comment.)
Shoppers may be relieved to no longer have to browse the web while they browse the aisles. Price-matching is often regarded as an "assurance policy" by consumers, says Marshal Cohen, chief industry analyst at market research firm NPD Group. "Many people are not going to take the time to comparison price products to that degree," he says. "They feel comfortable that someone is watching out for them." For instance, Target's price-match guarantee states that the price-matched item must be the identical item, brand name, size, weight, color, quantity — and even model number. See Your tech gift: Keep it or return it?
What's more, price is not the only reason shoppers leave the store and go online. Customer service plays a big part too, studies suggest. Among shoppers who say they engage in showrooming, 40% say that they actually never intended to shop online, but did so after experiencing poor customer service and support in stores, according to a recent survey by the Kellogg School of Management. Of the 1,900 shoppers surveyed, 59% say they received poor or average service in stores where they recently shopped.

News editor
St. Luke Hospital and Living Center in Marion has published a cookbook of recipes from employees, living center residents, and their families, titled "Recipes from the Heart: St. Luke Family Favorites 2012."
Activity director Robyn Kukuk said some staff members talked about how long it had been since the previous cookbook was made, and residents decided they wanted to make another. Collecting recipes for the cookbook took five to six months, asking for a different category of recipes every so often.
Resident Ruth Viets said most of the recipes she submitted were ones she learned from relatives, although some of her favorites came from other sources.
"My husband was a pastor, so we would pick up a lot of neat recipes as we went to appointments," Viets said.
One example was "Nickerson chicken casserole," a cheesy casserole she learned at her husband's first appointment, in Nickerson.
"We served it everywhere we served, and they even served it at my husband's funeral," she said.
Another favorite she submitted for the cookbook was oven caramel corn.
"That's something the whole family can munch around on," Viets said. "We would make that, of course, in the winter.
"I enjoyed selecting the recipes, because these are the recipes everyone asked for," she said.
About 300 cookbooks are left of 560 that were printed. Most of the ones already sold were done as pre-orders, but 50 were sold at Art in the Park, Kukuk said. Cookbooks will also be sold at Old Settlers' Day, she said.

Philadelphia Eagles running back Dion Lewis was arrested early Sunday morning in Albany, N.Y., local police confirmed to NFL.com and NFL Network.
|The mug shot of Eagles RB Dion Lewis, who was arrested Sunday morning in Albany, N.Y., on a felony charge of falsely reporting an incident. (Courtesy of Albany Police Department)
Lewis and his older brother, Lamar Lewis, were arrested at 4:40 a.m. Sunday after allegedly banging on the locked glass doors at the Hampton Inn and then pulling the fire alarm.
Both men were charged with falsely reporting an incident, which is classified as a felony, and misdemeanor reckless endangerment of property. Police said Dion Lewis was intoxicated when officers arrived on scene but was cooperative.
Dion Lewis was released following his arraignment, while Lamar Lewis remains in custody.
A 2011 fifth-round draft pick out of Pittsburgh, Lewis appeared in 15 games for the Eagles last season, primarily playing on special teams, averaging 21.6 yards on 31 kick returns. In limited snaps on offense, Lewis carried the ball 23 times for 102 yards and one touchdown. He added one reception for minus three yards.
Lewis is expected to compete with 2012 seventh-round pick Bryce Brown and undrafted rookie Chris Polk for a backup spot behind LeSean McCoy while also vying against undrafted rookie receiver Damaris Johnson for the duties as primary kick returner.
UPDATE: Lewis is scheduled to appear at Albany City Court on Wednesday.
The Eagles released a statement Monday concerning Lewis' arrest.
"We are aware of the incident involving Dion Lewis over the weekend in Albany and have since spoken to Dion and his representatives about it," the statement read. "They have a good understanding of the serious nature of this matter and understand the embarrassment it caused to not only himself, but the entire organization."
Lewis later issued an apology through the team.
"I want to apologize to my family, the Albany community, the Eagles organization and fans, and to the NFL for my involvement in an incident this past weekend," Lewis said. "It was never my intention to cause any public alarm or damage any property. I am sorry for any embarrassment and inconvenience that my actions have caused.
"I am committed to continuing to conduct myself in conformance with the high moral, ethical and professional standards that I have my entire life and of which so many others rightly expect of me. Because the matter is still in the hands of the court system, I cannot comment any further."

Save the date for Gaining Ground: A New Film on Food Justice and Feeding Our Communities Sustainably
The negative impacts of industrial agriculture are everywhere. The increasing threat of genetically engineered food and the destruction of
local communities can make us feel powerless to effect change. Gaining Ground is an intimate view of rural and urban farmers who are embracing this challenge.
On Saturday, June 1, 2013 at 7 p.m., the Media Project presents a screening of a rough cut of the upcoming documentary film Gaining Ground. A benefit to raise finishing funds for the film, the event takes place at the Fifth Avenue Cinema, 510 SW Hall St in downtown Portland.
Gaining Ground tells the stories of farmers who are transforming their farming practices so they can feed their local communities sustainably grown produce and grains. From farms in Oregon's fertile Willamette Valley to the food desert of inner city Richmond, California, Gaining Ground reveals the ingenuity and courage of these diverse urban and rural farmers who are committed to serving and empowering their communities.
About the Filmmakers
Elaine Velazquez and Barbara Bernstein have been creating film and radio documentaries for over thirty-five years. Their award winning work has been broadcast on public television and radio, screened at international film festivals and distributed through broad grassroots networks. Barbara also hosts the environmental show Locus Focus on KBOO-FM.
Gaining Ground is partially funded by the Regional Arts & Culture Council.
More about Gaining Ground: http://mediaprojectonline.org/gainingground.html
Following the screening there will be a discussion with farmers featured in the film: Vicki Hertel, Sun Gold Farm in Verboort, OR; and Willow Coberly and Harry Stalford, Stalford Seed Farms in Tangent, OR.
This screening is co-sponsored by KBOO-FM, West Multnomah Soil & Water Conservation District, Food and Water Watch and the City of Portland Bureau of Planning & Sustainability.

When Carl Jensen was told his brother-in-law, Ken Fox, needed a kidney from an A positive blood donor, he didn�t hesitate to volunteer.
When Carl Jensen was told his brother-in-law, Ken Fox, needed a kidney from an A positive blood donor, he didn�t hesitate to volunteer.
Fox had received a kidney from his sister, Shirley Hummell, but her blood type was different. The transplant team at UCLA has a 97 percent success rate with transplants between incompatible blood types. But Fox fell into the 3 percent, and his body started to reject his sister�s kidney on day six.
While they were talking to Fox�s family, Jensen said, �I think I�m A positive.�
�God said, �Carl give Ken one of my kidneys,�� Jensen said. �I believe everything I have belongs to the Lord.�
He downloaded a donor application form, and the next day he started a running program. He had a T-shirt printed with the words, �Kidney Donor, Run, Don�t Walk.�
�When God asks us to do something we run at it, don�t walk at it. I ran and walked four miles the first day,� he said. �I hadn�t run in 22 years. I never thought I could run again, but I had been swimming.�
Two days later, he was on the phone with the UCLA kidney coordinator to begin the process. The date was Oct. 22, 2012.
�I didn�t ask Carl to be the donor,� his wife, Sheryn Jensen, said. �He asked if he could do that. I couldn�t be happier. I was an original donor, but I couldn�t because of my blood pressure. I know how much Carl wants to do it, and he would do it if it wasn�t my brother. He has a love for people that far exceeds anything I�ve ever seen.�
Jensen continues to run from 2 to 7.6 miles every other day to build his strength.
He appreciates his running partners, Scott Bowman, David Rankin and Phil Hunt, for encouraging and helping him.
�I�ll be 60 years old in two months and my blood pressure is 114 over 68,� Jensen said. �I�m very grateful to the Lord for the good health I have.�
In January, the transplant team put him through two days of rigorous testing.
He passed every test and his doctor at Shelby Family Practice, Chris Madison, wanted to know if he had any blood left. �Shelby Family Practice � Dr. Madison, Larry Smith, Heidi Hamrick � have been fantastic and supportive,� he said.
He was a match and the surgery was set for April 23. He and his wife flew to California for one final test.
�Eleven hours before the surgery, I got a phone call to say the surgery was canceled,� he said. �It was an emotional and tough time. On the second cross match, we were incompatible. It is not uncommon.�
They drove over to the hospital and talked to the transplant supervisor.
�They asked if we wanted to go ahead with a paired exchange,� Jensen said. �They would put our names in the national registry. It could take up to six months to find Ken a donor and me a recipient.�
Their names were put on the registry on April 29. Jensen and his wife were ready to come back home, but when he called the airline to change their tickets, he was told there would be additional fees. With all the expenses from the transplant, Jensen wondered how they would pay the extra.
�I prayed and reminded Him of everything He had done to bring us to his point,� Jensen said. �Ken�s out of work; insurance doesn�t cover everything. I prayed the words of Jehoshaphat from
II Chronicles 20: �We know not what to do, but my eyes are on you.��
He decided to go out for a cup of coffee and ended up at Chuck Swindoll�s former church and its coffee shop called The Well. He was sitting outside drinking his cappuccino and reading when a man walked around the corner and sat down.
�He asked where I was from and why I was here,� Jensen said. �I explained everything that happened and how the airlines wanted more money.�
The man reached into his back pocket and took out a card � with executive privileges and millions of air miles. He called the airlines and asked Jensen when they wanted to fly.
�We were to be at the airport the next morning at 5 a.m.,� Jensen said. �I said, �Why did you do that?� and he said, �I know all about UCLA�s donor program. I understand everything you are going through.� When I was on my knees praying to the Lord, he was sending this man to the church. I was there no more than five or 10 minutes.�
The search for a match has been a process full of faith, prayer and community support.
The first match was not good, but the registry immediately found another recipient for Jensen, and three days later, a surgery was scheduled for July 2.
On Monday of this week, they got a call canceling that match and surgery.
�We�ll start over again to find a recipient and another donor,� Jensen said. �We�ll go back out, they�ll look for a donor for Ken and a recipient for me, and then they�ll reschedule the surgery. It takes a lot of faith to do this. We�re just trusting the Lord that he does this in his timing.�
As of Thursday, Jensen said another donor match had been found and the surgeries are expected to take place next week. Jensen said community support has sustained them.
�It has been encouraging what the community has done,� he said. �Double Springs Baptist Church and Pastor Bill Fryar prayed and shared with us; the YMCA and Crystal Johnson has
helped us; Dish Network; and First Baptist Church in Spartanburg, S.C.�
The couple�s four children also gave them money for the trip to California.
�The four of them got together and put some money for us to fly,� said Sheryn Jensen. �We have three daughters and one son. The youngest is 14 and even she gave money.�
The message printed on the back of his running T-shirt sums up how Jensen feels about what he�s doing to support Fox: �I run for my brother-in-law Ken, his donor, and my recipient ... all for God�s glory.�

In the 1830s, when the temperance movement was flourishing in America, fanatic teetotalers took up axes and flailed away at whole orchards of apple trees. With no thought for the delights of warm apple pie or syrupy baked apples or roast pork with applesauce, they were bent on eliminating the evil of hard cider.
From colonial times, cider had been the most popular drink in New England. Not only was it served at meals and offered to all guests, it was even used as barter. An 1805 diary entry recorded the following transaction: "one-half barrel of cider for Mary's schooling."
Well, let's all be grateful that these overzealous fanatics failed to destroy one of our most valuable, delicious, and nutritious fruits, the Malus pumila.
Apples are one of the first fruits to have been cultivated, and are now the most important fruit in Europe, North America, and temperate regions in both the Northern and Southern hemispheres. There are now close to 8,000 named varieties. The sweet, crunchy fruit we are familiar with is nothing like its ancestor, the tiny, sour crabapple.
From the beginning, we have been enamored of fruit, and apples in particular. Besides milk and honey, fruit is "nature's only pleasure-laden natural food," according to Mitch Lynd of the Midwest Apple Improvement Association. Throughout history, apples have been associated with love, beauty, luck, health, comfort, pleasure, wisdom, temptation, sensuality, virility, and fertility. In Greek mythology, the romantic and sexual connotations of the apple may even be the reason it has become dessert at the end of a meal. Besides aiding digestion, it was believed to be a powerful aphrodisiac for the pleasures to follow.
Taste in apples varies around the world. In England they are divided into two distinct categories, apples for eating and apples for cooking. Harold McGee's "On Food and Cooking: The Science and Lore of the Kitchen" divides apples more specifically into four categories. Cider apples are high-acid fruits rich in astringent tannins, perfect for making that naughty, naughty hard cider. Dessert or eating apples are crisp and juicy and have a pleasing balance between sour and sweet. Cooking apples are distinctly tart when raw, well-balanced when cooked, and have a firm flesh that holds its shape when cooked. Dual purpose apples are good for eating raw or cooking.
One of my favorite activities this time of year is visiting the Milk Pail in Watermill where you can sample different varieties. There are also helpful signs to guide you through the choices between Macoun, Gravensteins, Mutsus, Cortlands, Pippins, and so on. There are also plenty of pick-your-own orchards, a fun activity for small children because it takes approximately three and a half minutes to fill a bushel basket!
Happily, like heirloom tomatoes, there has been a revival of interest in antique and heirloom varieties of apples. We now realize that a beautiful apple does not necessarily mean it tastes best. Some are russet and some are lumpy but still delicious!
Try Cortland apples for fruit salads; their flesh is slow to brown. McIntosh apples have a soft, juicy texture, a nice combination of tart and sweet, and are good for cooking or eating. Granny Smiths, distinctive for their green color, are crisp, juicy, tart, and are my favorite for pies.
Last but not least, apples are the perfect, portable snack, available year round, and good for your heart, digestion, lungs, and bones.
