Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Larry Fitzgerald has the talent and work ethic to become the most prolific player at his position since Jerry Rice. During Arizona's memorable run to last February's Super Bowl, Fitzgerald made 30 catches for 546 yards, scoring seven touchdowns in the process - all postseason records. His encore starts on Sunday, Sept. 13, when the Cardinals, who suffered a heart-breaking Super Bowl loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers, host the San Francisco 49ers in their 2009 opener. On the eve of the NFL season, Fitzgerald talked to TIME about Michael Vick, his fantasy football past...
Some of your wide receiver colleagues-guys like Terrell Owens and Chad Ochocinco-have a reputation for being divas or attention-seekers. What is it about the position that causes so much drama? I can only speak for myself. I'm always a pretty quiet guy. But I just think the wide receiver position gets glorified.

The LRC had been willing to pay full price for the second year of subscription for student access, but because of the 15 percent FAS-wide budget cut, the service had to be terminated. Of the 50 discounted subscriptions purchased so far, three have been purchased by students. Doyle said that if too few memberships are purchased, the program will have to be canceled because the LRC cannot afford to lose money. According to a survey...
...music, catchy melodies and lush harmonies are always rewarding. What makes Sondre Lerche’s work—including “Heartbeat Radio”— stand out amongst other immediately enjoyable pop music, is its deceptive simplicity. Lerche is very much fascinated by a wide variety of genres, including jazz and rock, and with childlike absorption, incorporates them to his own sound. As a result, even his choice of acoustic guitar as the basis for many of his songs—fairly typical for singer-songwriters—becomes distinctive through his unusually syncopated rhythms...
