Utah Football: Ranking the top-10 Utes players of all-time
Utah, especially in the last three decades, has produced a bevy of NFL draft picks and talented college players. Current Utah alumni in the NFL have led their teams to the playoffs (Alex Smith), looked like future defensive stalwarts (Star Lotuleilei, Paul Kruger) and anchor defensive secondaries (Eric Weddle, Sean Smith). With that in mind, here's our ranking of the 10 best Utes of all-time, based on longevity and impact at the collegiate level, not necessarily play in the NFL:
10. Kevin Dyson, Wide Receiver, 1994-1997
Dyson was a consistent and explosive weapon for the Utah offense for four seasons, playing at least 11 games in each. After his freshman year, he racked up at least 700 yards receiving per season and averaged at least 13.5 yards per catch per season in his time as a Ute. The Utes had winning seasons in three of his four years at the school, with his best coming in 1996, when he caught 53 balls for 812 yards and eight touchdowns. Dyson went on to become the 16th pick in the 1998 NFL Draft, among the highest picks in school history and was the protagonist in one of the best game-ending plays in NFL history.
9. Harold Lusk, Defensive Back, 1993-1996
Lusk was incredibly versatile and athletic with the Utes, with the skills to play quarterback, running back, wide receiver, kick returner and defensive back, where he starred for Utah. Lusk was a ball hawk, intercepting 16 passes in his three seasons as a starter, returning one for a touchdown. He remains the career interception leader at Utah with 19.
8. Jordan Gross, Offensive Tackle, 1999-2002
Gross redshirted his first season and played a limited role the following year, but went on to become arguably the best lineman in school history the following three seasons. In 2000 and 2001, he started all 23 games and played at left guard, right tackle and left tackle, showing the quickness and versatility to fill out several positions on the line. As a junior anchor of the offensive line, the Utes collectively surrendered only five sacks the entire season. However, his best and last season came in 2002, when Gross stood as an impenetrable wall at left tackle, not allowing a single sack and earning recognition as a first-team All-American. He went on to be the eighth overall pick in the 2003 draft, earning three Pro Bowl selections before retiring this off-season.
7. Brian Johnson, Quarterback, 2004-2008
Johnson was Alex Smith's backup in the undefeated season of 2004 and took the reigns the following season for Utah. Besides redshirting the 2006 season for a knee injury, Johnson started the 2005, 2007 and 2008 seasons, becoming the winningest quarterback in Utah history with a 26-7 record. He steadily improved with each season, finishing the 2006 season as the 2007 Poinsettia Bowl MVP. However, his true mark on the Utes program came in his final season in 2008, when he racked up nearly 3,000 yards passing and 27 touchdown passes. He also showed up big in arguably the most important game in Utah history, rolling for 336 yards and three touchdowns in the upset of Alabama in the 2009 Sugar Bowl.
6. Bryan Rowley, Wide Receiver, 1989-1993
Rowley is the top receiver in program history for the Utes, producing in each season at Utah and leading the team in receiving yards in three different seasons. He led the nation in receiving yards per catch in 1990, racking up a whopping 27.2 yards per reception with five touchdowns. His best year came in 1991, however, when Rowley rolled for 1,011 yards on 60 receptions and 12 touchdowns, averaging 17.5 yards per catch as a big play threat whenever he touched the ball. He's the all-time leader in receiving yards for the Utes with 3,141, ahead of Dyson by 400 yards.
5. Eddie Johnson, RB, 1984-1988
Several talented runners have come through Utah, but none come close to Johnson's 3,219 yards for the Utes. He was a centerpiece of the offense instantaneously, rushing for 1,021 uards and seven touchdowns in his first season with a huge 6.5 yards per carry. He was dominant again in his junior season, rolling for 1,046 yards and three touchdowns on the ground, with three more receiving touchdowns and a total of 1,246 yards from scrimmage. He closed out his career with 748 yards rushing and a huge 12 rushing touchdowns in 1988, adding three more passing touchdowns for a total of 15 and 1,067 yards from scrimmage. Johnson was a dual threat out of the backfield and a bellcow for the Utes offense.
4. Scott Mitchell, QB, 1987-1989
Mitchell is somewhat of a forgotten man in Utes history compared with Brian Johnson and Alex Smith, but it's Mitchell who holds the all-time record for passing yards at Utah with 8,981. Mitchell was dominant in his final two seasons, tossing 60 touchdowns to 34 interceptions with a combined 7,533 passing yards. The Utes didn't have much team success in those few years despite the presence of Mitchell and Rowley in 1989, but Mitchell was a difference maker all on his own.
3. Luther Elliss, DT, 1991-1994
Elliss may be the most consistently dominant defensive lineman in Utah history among a bevy of historical talent. He made an immediate impact, collecting 24 tackles, three sacks and one tackle for loss in 1991 and continued to get better every season. In 1992, he had 87 tackles, 16 tackles for loss and two sacks, with 50 tackles, 10 sacks and three tackles for loss in 1993. However, 1994 was his best overall season, as he racked up 78 tackles, nine tackles for loss and four sacks to help the Utes to the program's best season to date. Overall, he had 239 tackles, 29 tackles for loss and 19 sacks at Utah, earning him a first-team All American and WAC Defensive Player of the Year award in 1994.
2. Alex Smith, QB, 2002-2004
Smith's career at Utah started off slowly in 2002 with game action against only San Diego State and New Mexico, but he'd go on to have the best career under center in Utes history. Although he's only fifth all-time in passing yardage, he executed Urban Meyer's offense to near perfection, leading Utah to a 21-1 record as a starter. Smith finished his last season at Utah with 2,952 yards passing and 32 touchdowns to only four interceptions, while also rushing for 10 touchdowns. He led the Utes to an undefeated season in 2004, carrying the program into a new era of prominence and respectability.
1. Eric Weddle, DB, 2003-2006
No one, offensively or defensively, has had as much of an impact on the field as Eric Weddle. Before the end of his collegiate career, he saw time at safety, cornerback, kick returner, punt returner, punter, running back and even quarterback. Weddle started immediately as a freshman, forcing four fumbles, grabbing three interceptions and collecting four sacks, 60 tackles and 4.5 tackles for loss. The following season, he started 11 games, racking up 75 tackles, four interceptions and returned 20 punts for 210 yards to help the Utes to an undefeated season. In 2005, He earned his first Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Year award, starting 12 games and grabbing four interceptions, 11 tackles for loss, 78 tackles and three forced fumbles. He also returned 24 punts, rushed for 35 yards and a touchdown and punted twice. However, 2006 was his best performance yet. He was named a consensus All-American and Mountain West Conference Defensive Player of the Year for the second time after making 64 tackles, seven interceptions, two interception returns for touchdowns, a fumble recovery for a touchdown, a sack and 2.5 tackles for loss. On offense, he rushed for 203 yards and five touchdowns, while adding a passing touchdown and 43 yards through the air. Weddle is one of the most versatile players in college football history and helped the Utes win games in every conceivable fashion. He's earned the top spot on this list and runs away with the best Utah player of all-time distinction.

October 10, 2015
10-3-05 - A major accident happened early Sunday morning on Highway 82 involving a Sherman Police car and a driver following an ambulance.
It happened shortly after 6 a.m. Sunday morning. The officer had responded to a car on fire and had parked his patrol car on the road with his lights flashing to divert traffic into the inside lane.
Melton Ramsey, 78, was driving East on Highway 82 following an ambulance that was transporting his wife to Wilson N. Jones Medical Center.
Ramsey crashed into the officer's squad car. The officer jumped out of the way and only suffered minor injuries. Ramsey was not injured.
Ramsey told authorities he thought the flashing lights from the squad car were from the ambulance he was following. No charges have been filed, and the accident is still being investigated.

"Before incorporating this AT&T solution, our storage technology was aging and we had no centralized access to cardiology images for our cardiologists," said Kevin Yee , Administrator, Cardiology, Henry Ford Health System. "We've been using AT&T's cloud-based medical imaging service for more than a year. And now, our doctors can now easily view patients' images and files for specialized consults."
Mobilizing and Connecting Physicians
In Birmingham, Alabama, Baptist Health System is using AT&T Medical Imaging and Information Management with an FDA-cleared mobile diagnostic viewer. With access to medical images in the AT&T cloud, referring physicians can easily review patients' images stored in a vendor-neutral format.
Doctors in this hospital system can also use their tablet or smartphone to access and diagnose patients the moment radiology images, such as MRI or CT scans, are available – all without outlaying any capital expense.
"We knew we needed to replace our onsite long-term archive to take full advantage of the benefits of the latest innovative technology," says Richard Shirey , Chief Information Officer, Baptist Health System. "Speed and accuracy are critical. That's why we're working with AT&T. Our physicians will be able to access a patient's images faster and with less overhead through the cloud-based repository."

A Look at... Vania ZouravliovJuxtapoz // Tuesday, July 09, 2013
Featured in our August 2013 issue, Russia-born, UK-based artist Vania Zouravliov. Straight from the magazine: "Vania Zouravliov is an enigma, a paradox, and a Catch-22; he doesn't want to have his picture taken, creates elegant art that appears to be in the process of a magically disappearing, and references 19th Century European and American storytellers as inspiration. In the legacy of previous eras, where prodigious talent was nurtured in the arts like young math and science geniuses are cultivated today, Vania became an internationally known illustrator at the age of 13.
Kaun Nikita and the OccultIllustration // Tuesday, July 09, 2013
Kaun Nikita's work is torrid and forceful, using mazes of dark line-and-dot-work to create images of the occult. Astronaut skeletons, goats, skulls, five-eyed cats and thorny hearts find their homes in Nikita's work; imagery of a boldly mysterious world. Nikita's work is perfectly fit for those with an urge for a darker edge.
Julee Yoon's Cross-Cultural DesignsIllustration // Tuesday, July 09, 2013
Julee Yoo was born and raised in Seoul, South Korea. After studying illustration at Parsons the New School of Design in New York City, Julee now works as a full-time illustrator. Her artwork is fraught with the symbolic language of clashing cultures; the pastoral linework of french textiles meet Korean characters in a landscape of tentative pencil-work. These pieces are lovely, lyrical and challenging.
Ash Mackenzie IllustrationIllustration // Tuesday, July 09, 2013
Ash Mackenzie is an artist and illustrator based in Toronto, Ontario. She is currently attending OCADU and pursuing a degree in illustration. Ash's work is sensitive, nuanced and very mature for someone her age. She creates with a seasoned hand, combining traditional and digital mediums with seamless ease. We expect big things from this young artist.
Emma Webster ArtIllustration // Tuesday, July 09, 2013
Emma Webster's emotive, massive paintings explore a hypothetical dreamscape fraught with nostalgia, memory and anxiety. The Oakland-based artist has just completed a permanent mural near Classic Cars West where she will also host a solo show from August 2nd to September 21st. The mural is a dynamic, arresting example of Webster's aesthetic--fragmented, boldly colored sheaves of imagery that evoke childhood memory in its most vivid incarnation; a wide-eyed tiger looks on. By creating layered landscapes populated by abstract and remembered characters--Webster herself, her sister, her dog--the artist explores the distorted surface of these impressions. The opening will take place from 6-9pm on August 2nd at 411 26th Street, Oakland, CA.
Daniel Martin Diaz and The Soul of ScienceIllustration // Monday, July 08, 2013
Based in Tucson, Arizona, Daniel Martin Diaz is a fine artist with an insatiable curiosity to explore the mysteries of life and science through creative production. In his forthcoming collection of art and essays, "Soul of Science," Diaz tackles the elusive properties of consciousness and time through a personal visual language that draws inspiration from the old Flemish masters as well as from modern scientific theories. Intespersed among Diaz's exquisitely rendered pieces are several illuminating writings contributed by mathematicians, physicists, and art historians, each examining the same universal questions from their unique academic and individual perspectives.
Nature's Bounty by Kate MacdowellIllustration // Monday, July 08, 2013
Kate Macdowell is a ceramic sculptor whose delicately carved pieces entwine the beauty and universal order of the natural world with aspects of humanity's deleterious impact on the environment, responding to issues of climate change, toxic pollution, and GM crops. Her work also borrows its symbolic content from myth, art history, figures of speech, and other cultural formulas. A master craftswoman, Macdowell sculpts each piece out of porcelain, with smaller forms built petal by petal, branch by branch, allowing the artist to immerse herself in intensive, up-close study of nature's fundamental structures and most individual specimens.
Martin Wittfooth's Tooth and ClawIllustration // Monday, July 08, 2013
Born in 1981 in Toronto and spending most of his childhood in Finland, Martin Wittfooth is a New York City-based artist with an MFA from the School of Visual Arts. His luminous yet foreboding oil paintings portray scenes of nature fighting against the destructive hand of man, whether it's the toxic industries he's created or the evolutionary havoc he is wreaking on the animal kingdom. Humanity's footprint is forever etched into the landscapes of the earth, and through a powerful visual narrative Wittfooth explores its lasting effects through representations of animals interacting with man's industrial and societal creations, a sort of cautionary tale of what's potentially to come.
Angela Palmer's Life LinesIllustration // Monday, July 08, 2013
Angela Palmer is an Oxford-based sculptor and installation artist who uses CT and MRI scans of heads and bodies to create three dimensional works on engraved sheets of glass. Depicting mesmerizing networks of veins and sinewy brain matter, Palmer's ambitious work conveys a dual sense of grotesque vigor and innate frailty, illustrating the robust nature of the human body as well as its organic fragility. From certain angles the clusters of lines appear jumbled and random, but when when viewed just-so, they acquire their proper shape, whether of a horse's brain or a mummy's body or the head of the artist herself.
Impossible Architectural Illustrations by Toby Melville-BrownJuxtapoz // Monday, July 08, 2013
Toby Melville-Brown's The Tower Series explores various fantastical architectural scenarios in the form of skyscrapers. Toby explains, "I'm not commenting on environmental issues, nor condemning our excessive nature; I'm merely fascinated with the synthetic landscape we have constructed around ourselves."

The International Energy Agency (IEA) issued their annual World Energy Outlook, and despite a drop in 2009 demand due to the global recession, the numbers look grim. As Nobuo Tanaka, Executive Director of the IEA put it;
"…a continuation of current trends in energy use puts the world on track for a rise in temperature of up to 6°C and poses serious threats to global energy security."
The IEA is to consuming countries what OPEC is to producing ones, advising members on energy supply and policy.Their activities include estimating how much oil is available and what future energy consumption will look like, and things may be even grimmer than they have been letting on.
Oil supplies in flux
According to a report in the Guardian, the Agency may have deliberately overstated world oil supplies, in order to avoid a worldwide buying panic. An unnamed (and therefore unverified) sources claim that the US has played an influential role in encouraging the organization to "underplay the rate of decline from existing oil fields while overplaying the chances of finding new reserves." Another (also unnamed) source was quoted as saying "We have [already] entered the 'peak oil' zone. I think that the situation is really bad."
"Peak oil" refers to the point at which the rate of production of oil, which has generally marched steadily upwards, begins to decline. If we continue our current energy habits and assume no change in government policies (called the 'Reference Scenario'), we will need to produce an additional 20 million barrels a day by 2030. It is not clear where that oil supply would come from, and is projected as "crude oil fields yet to be found."
Is even '450′ a stretch?
In the 'Reference Scenario', the world's primary energy demand in 2030 is estimated to grow by a staggering 40% over the current figures. Much of this increase would be in coal use, which would grow by 50% and have a severe impact on climate change.
The IEA also looked at the alternative scenario needed to hold greenhouse gasses to 450 ppm, which is generally considered the maximum upper limit to avoid irreversible and possibly cataclysmic change (we are currently at 385.) What would need to happen? By 2030, a third of the world's power needs to come from renewables and/or nuclear, 60% of cars need to be plug in or hybrid, and we need to invest nearly $10 Trillion globally in energy efficiency. These are all what I would call 'stretch goals', and is partially why others have described staying below 450 ppm as pursuing "the greatest achievement in the history of the human race."
The IEA didn't even bother figuring out what it would take to reduce total ghg back to 350 ppm, a 'do no harm' target which seems to be completely out of reach.
Pay now or pay later
Conspiracy theorists claim that global warming is a hoax designed to create new 'green' profits via cap-and-trade and clean technology. While some concerns about Wall Street are always warranted, here is the simple math: The IEA estimates that carbon should eventually carry a cost of around $50 per ton, which translates to $20 per barrel of oil. If we continue on our current path, however, demand will likely drive up oil prices by at least $50 per barrel, sending over $4 trillion dollars to OPEC members in the next 20 years, just for the oil And the cost of climate change? The NRDC estimates that in the US alone, it will be $300 Billion a year by 2030. Many put the global figure in the Trillions.
So whether for the planet or the pocketbook, it's time to wake up. Things simply will not stay the way they are. We can either start spending on clean energy and efficiency now, or pay even more for the privilege of using up more fossil fuel and polluting the planet, with dire consequences. Why does this seem like a difficult choice?

Well Citgo isn't running out of oil. Citgo gets their gas from Mexico, who buys it from Venezuela. That's the truth. Besides, government has finally admitted that the U.S. has 200 years worth of oil and gas at Pruedo Bay, AK That oil and gas was discovered in the early 70s and they kept it secret. Lindsey Williams had the written the book, "Energy Non-Crisis" which was a tell all. You can find that info on YouTube and listen to the entire story, from when he was living there as their minister. He was let in on all of the meetings and you can find out the rest listening to the interview.
So, as all the other lies government tells us, this is a huge one. We haven't had to be dependent on foreign oil since the 70s but government and the elite would NOT let the oil come through the pipeline.
There's more to this than meets the eye. I suggest you seek out Lindsey's information on YouTube and find out the truth of what the elites plan for this nation and us. Most especially, on the Alex Jones channel, his interview with Lindsey. He takes awhile to get to the point, because he is older, but he does know these elites.
Hi, all you fellow oil guzzlers. I too wish we could tech-nologize our way out of this mess. Heck, my father was an engineer and I was brought up a good Republican techno-twit. However, the more I leaned, experienced and aged, and saw engineering marvels collapse like the Hood Canal Floating Bridge, Three Mile Island, Mercer Island Floating Bridge, Twin Towers, Soviet Nuclear Reactors, "safe" nuclear waste storage at Hanford (ha!), the Exxon Valdez, levees in New Orleans etc, I have very little faith in engineered solutions to critically important problems. We must prevent the poisons from getting any more concentrated and not think we're going to come up with some alchemist's magic machine that's going to turn it into perfume. Remember when some thought we could shoot nuclear waste into space to get rid of it? I know people are no longer into discipline or self denial. That seems to have gone out with saving metal for WW II and victory gardens. But surely I'm not the only one who cares about my children, grandchildren and the fate of the planet. I would like for them to be able to eat a real wild salmon and grow a vegetable garden with affordable irrigation water. It won't happen for my great grandchildren if things go on the way they have been. Growing food for everybody and having drinkable water will be a bit tricky too. The big climate shift due to our dumping crap into the atmosphere is REALLY happening, fast. Let's take the bags off our heads and fix it now. We can.
Bob E. and Lloyd H. got it right -- a few others are also spot on.
It is "Revelation," as in one, not Revelations -- I could go on, but the point is ignorance is hard to conceal. We can only hope that one day you, too, will have one.
God did not give man dominion over the planet, the world is not here to supply your every want and desire (especially if runs on gasoline or electricity), and technology is not the answer. The anthropocentric view is what got us, and keeps us, in trouble. This is not likely to change in time to avert some really incredible change -- I know, you're incredulous.
If I get nothing else across: NO NUKES. Nuclear waste will last for hundreds of thousands of years. And for those that don't know -- everything from oil, to wind, even nuclear is a form of stored solar energy. Hell, even the molten core and the rocky crust came from the sun, as do all forms of life as we know it.
Everyday we argue about it, the sun emits more energy than we could ever use even if we continue to waste more than we use. Every energy conversion returns 30% (at best) of the energy going in -- so we burn oil (or coal) to make electricity, then waste it in transmission, and use it to cook and even wash our dishes!
So, do what you can to make it better, do what you can to be less a part of the problem, and realize that Gaia doesn't care who is here, as long as it's green.
Apparently, there are two subspecies here, Homo sapiens sapiens and Homo sapiens
Let's use technology to solve problems. We need to listen to both sides of the issues. In example, the below link shows how to turn smoke stack gas into methanol. The ultimate recycle process. Everyone wins. People keep their jobs, and the air is kept clean. No cap and trade needed. People need to work to provide for their families.

InViet Travel: Last Minute Hiking GEAR…
This store has EVERYTHING you'll need if you are caught short and wishing that you had a warmer jacket or want some sturdier footwear for your "trek". The store fronts name is InViet Travel Co. Ltd and you really can't miss it if you're walking on Cau May Street. Going down the hill its on your left side…
I had walked by this store more than once and finally I decided that I was going to take a look inside…the outdoors of the store is packed with back packs, warm North Face jackets, and Daypacks and Im always looking for a good deal.
I stopped near the front of the door and asked about the prices of the fleece lined North Face jackets that she had hanging…She said $ 45.00 but before I really had much of a chance to respond to her reply she QUICKLY DROPPED her price and said $ 40.00.
This is a really GREAT price for this jacket and so I tried it on and then gave it the once over pretty closely looking for flaws in the workmanship. I was suspecting a knock off or imitation North Face but this looks like a pretty legitimate jacket and the workmanship is such that if it is a fake it's a really good one. In any event this store has a GREAT selection of inventory to shop from. I know that North Face as well as MEC manufacture some of they're product lines in Vietnam.
If you've forgotten gear that you'd like….check out this store…she sells hiking shoes, sweaters, fleece jackets, toques, back packs, day packs, and the obligatory souvenirs but I have to confess…I really wasn't looking too hard for souvenirs. I was quite impressed with the variety of stock that she maintained.
For a GREAT DEAL and FRIENDLY service check out this little shop on Cau May Street.
What to buy: I came home with a "Summit Series" North Face jacket that I paid only $ 40.00 for.Knock off or not...its still a decent jacket and the price WAS RIGHT!!!!
GREAT BARGAIN I though!!!

Sa Pa Silver Shop: Hand Crafted Silver Jewelery
This little shop is open concept where you ca actually watch the Silversmith at work. He only sells what he makes. The silversmith's name is Duc Khanh.
It's a small shop down the hill off of Cau May Street…as the road descends the hill [Cau May Street] Muong Hoa Street branches off to the left This is the same road that will take you out of town and eventually to the Muong Hoa Valley if you were to follow it.. The shop is located on Muong Hoa Street and is just on the left side of the road.
There's a short video of the gentleman working attached to this page so take a peek if you like.
His prices were more than fare…I watched him at work for a while than kind of backed off as Kevin and he were working out a deal for some ear rings Kevin was taking home to his girlfriend. Long story short, the ear rings were quite nice and the man was easily willing to haggle over the price, I don't remember what Kevin paid for them but if he bought them it was a good price Im sure!
Check out this mans silver jewelry and watch him at work.

Sapa Ethnic Market: Hilltribes crafts
Located off Cau May street, there is this daily run ethnic market by H'mongs, Red Dzao and Flower H'mong. It is a good place to get good bargain with good selection. The place opens up early in the morning and close at 6pm sharp. Some of the vendors actually go hawking in the street later or display their good along the street in the evening.
What to buy: ethnic crafts especially needle work on batik fabric, ranging from their traditional costumes and accessories; H'mong Blancket ,wall hanging, raw embroidery works, skirts, men blouses, hats, ribbons, silver button and etc.
What to pay: Bargain is a must. Base on the origin of the tourists, they would started with different prices. It is between 30-60% bargain. Best way is for you to judge how much the merchandize would cost, base on the amount of work on it and time consume in producing it. Always give them a chance to make a living and bargain with respect.

Hill-tribe sellers: Tribual textiles & jewellery
You'll see several hill-tribe women selling textiles and tribal jewellery along the main tourist road of P Cau May and around the towns square where the church is located. You'll also find several stalls that are awash with the same items in the upper part of the market.
Giant crispy apples
What to buy: If you come from a tropical country like me, you should buy some apples when in Sapa. They are huge (check out my photo) and very crispy. Cost 15,000 Dong a kg & I got three apples for 1 kg. I am not sure if they are grown locally but they definitely taste delicious!

Instead, the current U.S. government policy of post-release surveillance, prompt containment of victims and vaccination of hospital workers and close contacts would be sufficient to thwart an epidemic, according to lead author Ira M. Longini Jr., Ph.D., a world leader in using mathematical and statistical methods to study the natural course of infectious diseases.
"We found that a well-prepared response of surveillance and containment, if done quickly, within a day or two of detecting the first smallpox case, would contain a large attack if up to 500 people were infected," said Longini, a member of the Public Health Sciences Division at the Hutchinson Center and a professor of biostatistics at the University of Washington School of Public Health and Community Medicine. These results apply to scenarios involving even the most virulent, fatal forms of the virus.
However, Longini emphasizes, failure to quickly isolate known smallpox cases and vaccinate their close contacts could thwart the containment of an epidemic.
These findings emerge from a committee of smallpox experts ?including infectious-disease modelers, epidemiologists, statisticians and clinicians ?who were commissioned by former Secretary of Health and Human Services Tommy Thompson to evaluate a variety of intervention strategies to determine whether the United States could contain a large-scale smallpox bioterrorist attack and, if so, how.
Specifically, the researchers were charged with determining whether surveillance and containment ?isolation of detected smallpox cases and vaccination of their close contacts ?would be sufficient to contain a large attack. They also wanted to find out wheth

A Kansas State University geologist and graduate student are finding that the most important tools in their fieldwork on groundwater arsenic pollution are women and children armed with pamphlets and testing kits.
"When going into a foreign land, you need the common people's help, support and understanding of the work you are doing," said Saugata Datta, a K-State assistant professor of geology.
Datta's research examines arsenic levels in the groundwater in Bangladesh and West Bengal, India. In his quest to understand how and why the naturally occurring arsenic gets into groundwater, Datta is helping Bengalis identify contaminated water sources so they can make more informed decisions about where to dig wells as they look for cleaner water. At K-State, Datta is joined by Andrew Neal, a master's student in geology from Byron, Ga.
"We are targeting the women and children 13 to 15 years old, because they are the most available people, more so than the men of the family," Datta said. "These women are not formally educated, but when it comes to this type of suffering, they have a huge voice and they can really articulate the message very clearly to their neighbors and their own families."
The researchers give women and children information about how sediment traits like color and texture may indicate arsenic contamination. They also arm them with arsenic testing kits to use when wells are being drilled in their communities. If these water testing kits indicate high levels of arsenic, they can send a sample to a laboratory in the city for further testing before more contaminated water is distributed to the community. These tests are being done for both shallow and deep aquifers in those districts.
Although much research and action has been done to mitigate arsenic contamination in Bangladesh, the researchers said the process has been slower in India.
"They are very nice people in West Bengal, but when you talk to th

InfoQ posts about 5 short demos on features you will find in Orcas. Glad to see some buzz being generated about Visual Studio "Orcas" features, but...
The Data team's post (the one that the InfoQ article points to) is a little misleading. The post refers to a recent keynote at VSLive! in San Francisco that showed the idea of conceptual data programming with 5 short demos. The blog post seems to indicate that each of the 5 demos show features you will find only in the next version of Visual Studio (code-named "Orcas"). The fact is that the first two (XML Editor, XSLT Debugging) can be done today using any version of Visual Studio 2005 (including the freely available Visual Web Developer 2005 Express Edition).
They may not be features that you knew were there (I didn't realize they were there when I blogged about these features over a year ago), but they are nice features of Visual Studio 2005 for working with XML!
PingBack from http://blog.brianhunt.net/2007/04/06/those-xml-features-are-in-vs2005-you-dont-have-to-wait-for-orcas/
Well this is quite embarrassing.

text: For me love's journey has been a crooked line, because I have not fully embraced the virtue. My macho humanness is in the way of complete surrender, the one necessary thing that will make me whole. I did not learn love's depth in my youth, but now as Christ's unconditional love approaches me, is it time to let go, time to harden my ability to accept its joy as I reach back, time to give it all away? (Reflection on John 15:9-17)

NFC Seedings:
Philadelphia 11-5

New Orleans 10-6
Chicago 9-7
Dallas 10-6
Carolina 10-6
NFC Wild Card
Carolina Panthers (10-6) at New Orleans Saints (10-6)
As a reference, I have these two teams splitting in the regular season, each winning on the road. Will that trend continue? Maybe. It's a tough game to call, but I have to give an edge to New Orleans. The obvious thing to say is that the Saints will have a raucous crowd behind them. While that's true, I feel their greatest advantage is at the quarterback position.
Jake Delhomme has a great career playoff record, but he looked really shaky in 2006, repeatedly making uncharacteristic errors. Drew Brees, meanwhile, is 1-2 in the postseason. However, look at the numbers he has compiled in those three contests: 916 yards, six touchdowns and two interceptions. Those two losses were a result of Nate Kaeding's missed field goals and his defense's 39-point letdown to Chicago. If Delhomme makes enough mistakes, Carolina won't be able to catch up to the Saints on the scoreboard.
New Orleans Saints 29, Carolina Panthers 26.
Dallas Cowboys (10-6) at Chicago Bears (9-7)
Looks like the Bears won the weak NFC North by default. They have great personnel, but I think Rex Grossman is horrible and the defensive tackle situation is going to be a problem. Furthermore, Chicago may have a liability on the offensive line, as right tackle Fred Miller turned 34 in April.
If Miller regresses a bit this season, the Bears will be in trouble at this juncture. Dallas obtained Anthony Spencer via the draft and will be getting back Greg Ellis from injury. Along with DeMarcus Ware, they'll wreak havoc upon Grossman, forcing the erratic quarterback to throw tons of picks. I could also see Marion Barber having a big game. You can't lose three of your top four defensive tackles and expect to excel against the run.
Dallas Cowboys 20, Chicago Bears 10.
AFC Wild Card
New York Jets (11-5) at Indianapolis Colts (12-4)
Poor Eric Mangini. He reaches the playoffs twice with the Jets and has to play New England and Indianapolis. He has a good team, but it's going to take someone special to knock off the defending champs. This one stays close.
Indianapolis Colts 27, New York Jets 24.
Denver Broncos (12-4) at Baltimore Ravens (11-5)
Notice that every single AFC playoff team has an equal or better record than each squad in the AFC. Conference domination at its finest.
If this game actually takes place, I expect every prognosticator and talking head to predict that Jay Cutler will be eaten alive by Baltimore's defense. I actually think the opposite will happen. Steve McNair played terribly against a sub-par Colts stop unit last year. How in the world is he going to handle Denver's defense, which has improved tremendously this offseason? The Broncos beat the Ravens in 2006, so I think we may see a repeat performance.
Denver Broncos 19, Baltimore Ravens 11.
NFC Divisional Round
Dallas Cowboys (10-6) at Philadelphia Eagles (11-5)
I can't even imagine how absolutely insane the city of Philadelphia will be for this game. Remember the "Terrell O.D." battle of 2006? Multiply that by 10,000. Not only will Owens be back in the town in which he is scorned, the season will be on the line for both squads. A loss to T.O. would essentially be a deathblow to a city that has suffered some of the most devastating defeats in the history of professional sports.
Luckily, the Eagles have a huge edge on the sidelines. Wade Phillips is a good regular-season coach, but he has never won a playoff game in his career. Furthermore, Dallas' defense will not be able to explot a weakness at quarterback because there is none. Donovan McNabb is obviously far superior to Rex Grossman. No crushing defeat for Philadelphia - at least not yet.
Philadelphia Eagles 23, Dallas Cowboys 17.
New Orleans Saints (10-6) at Seattle Seahawks (10-6)
Despite the fact that they're the No. 3 seed in the NFC, I believe the Saints are the best team in the conference. The 10-win campaign is a byproduct of their extremely difficult schedule. Seattle, conversely, was able to secure a first-round bye thanks to a relatively easy slate. I think this is a mismatch.
The squad that knocks New Orleans out of the playoffs will be one that can consistently run the ball against them and rattle Drew Brees enough to force some turnovers. While the Seahawks are capable of the latter, I don't have much confidence in Shaun Alexander. Alexander witnessed his yards-per-carry average drop from 5.1 in 2005 to 3.6 last year. At age 30, I think he's over the hill. He won't be effective versus the Saints.
New Orleans Saints 28, Seattle Seahawks 24.
AFC Divisional Round
Denver Broncos (12-4) at New England Patriots (13-3)
If the Patriots advance to the Super Bowl and claim their fourth Lombardi trophy in this regime, this will be their toughest game. The Broncos always play New England well. I have no idea how he does it, but Mike Shanahan has Bill Belichick's number.
There are, however, two strong edges on New England's side. First, this game is at home. When the Broncos defeated the Patriots in the playoffs two years ago, it was at Mile High II. Second, Denver will be starting a quarterback playing in his first postseason contest. It'll be close, but I'll take the guy with the three rings.
New England Patriots 27, Denver Broncos 23.
Indianapolis Colts (12-4) at San Diego Padres (12-4)
I previously mentioned that it's going to take someone special to knock off the Colts. Here it is. I don't think the Chargers will win the Super Bowl - especially with Norv Turner holding the clipboard - but they're a team that simply has Indianapolis' number.
We've seen San Diego defeat the Colts twice at Indianapolis recently. Peyton Manning gets confused by the Chargers' blitz packages, and his offensive line simply cannot block Shawne Merriman and Shaun Phillips. Joseph Addai will not be a factor on the ground with Jamal Williams, Igor Olshansky and Luis Castillo stuffing the interior. The champs go down, ruining another Brady vs. Manning showdown.
San Diego Chargers 33, Indianapolis Colts 24.
NFC Championship Game
New Orleans Saints (10-6) at Philadelphia Eagles (11-5)
Here we go again... I have the Saints beating the Eagles this regular season - by a score of 27-24, of course - so this is the fourth matchup between these two teams in a span of two years. Will Philadelphia reach the Super Bowl for the third time in franchise history, or will New Orleans take advantage of the Eagles' emotional victory over Dallas and deliver another blow that will send the City of Brotherly Love into a state of perpetual depression?
If you're a Philly fan, you already know that answer. I think the Saints pull the upset despite playing in the frigid environment of the Linc. Sean Payton simply has Andy Reid's number. Think about it: Payton swept Reid in 2006. As offensive coordinator of the Cowboys, he swept Big Red in 2005. When he was the offensive coordinator of the Giants, McNabb and company always lost. Like Jon Gruden, Payton's a guy who gives Reid and defensive coordinator Jim Johnson severe problems. I have a feeling history repeats itself on a cold day in Philadelphia.
New Orleans Saints 27, Philadelphia 24.
AFC Championship Game
San Diego Chargers (12-4) at New England Patriots (13-3)
Hmmm... Let's think about this for a second. Bill Belichick versus Norv Turner. Who do you think is going to win? Not sure? OK, how about three-time champion Tom Brady versus Philip Rivers, who has one career playoff start prior to the 2007 season? Still thinking about the winner of this contest? How about the fact that a warm-weather team will be asked to win at Foxboro, where the Patriots are nearly invincible? If you're still deciding and you're not a Chargers fan, please commit yourself to a mental hospital immediately.
New England Patriots 31, San Diego Chargers 17.
Super Bowl XLII
New Orleans (10-6) vs. New England Patriots (13-3)
Vegas made the Patriots the favorite to win the Super Bowl. Nearly every football publication is predicting New England to claim another Lombardi trophy. If you've been following my NFL picks, you know that I hate going with chalk and following the herd in terms of public perception. However, this is one case where I'll have to deviate from my tactics.
The last time the Patriots went this crazy during an offseason was just prior to the 2003 campaign. After starting 2-2, New England went undefeated the rest of the year, straight to a Super Bowl victory over Carolina. I have a feeling the same thing will happen in 2007. If the Patriots make it by San Diego, Denver, Indianapolis and the rest of the AFC, they won't lose to whomever comes out of the NFC. It could take a game-winning field goal to get the job done, but that's just how Bill Belichick and Tom Brady like to get things done.
New England Patriots 34, New Orleans Saints 32.

In order to take a break from it all, she decides to visit her father in the suburbs. Their discussions involve family stories which include Victoria's grandfather, who used to be a private investigator. This leads Victoria to read one of her grandfather's old case files, a file which reveals an uncomfortably high number of similarities between a 75-year-old case in Europe and the current string of killings in Chicago...

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
Occasionally, I'll send Brandon, the nice young man who helps me out around the house, over to Mama's to do errands or yard work for her.He loves her. "Your mama is the smartest woman in the world," he declared one day after a visit with her. He caught himself immediately. "Except for you, of course. I can tell where you get all your smartness. I just love to talk to her. She gives the best advice." Now, this is just what Mama's been wanting and probably praying for - someone who actually thrives on her advice. "Well, I'll tell you what," I said to Brandon. "You can have my share of her advice." Fine and dandy with him. So the next time Mama started to offer her unsolicited opinion to me, I held up a hand for her to stop. "Don't start," I said. "I gave Brandon my share of your advice, so you need to call him and give it to him. It would be unfair for me to take it after I gave it to him." Another friend is a big fan and supporter of Mama's. One day he stopped by to see me, and Mama just happened to be at my house. He was delighted and rushed right over to hug her. Then, with one arm around her shoulder while casting an evil eye in my direction, he said, "I just wanted to tell you how sorry that I am that you have such a mean daughter. It's terrible how she writes about you." Mama nodded and said, "I thought I had raised her better than that." I shook a finger in his direction. "You just wait. If you stick around long enough, your time will come. Trust me. No one escapes Mama." The other day his time arrived, and I couldn't rush to the phone fast enough to call him and break the news. "I love him like he's one of my own children," she said over lunch. Then she proved it by what she said next. "But I'll tell you that something bad is wrong with him. He's so unhappy in his eyes. It's showing up in age all over his face." She shook her head woefully. Quietness overtook him when I relayed the conversation, and you can be assured that he wasn't singing the praises of Mama. Yet another voice had been silenced. I sniggered. "Welcome to my world." "I still love her," he said. She went with me to a luncheon the other day. When I picked her up, she said, "I've spent all morning getting ready." "I got ready in 30 minutes, including washing my hair," I replied. She glanced at me. "And it looks like it, too." She paused. "You know I liked your hair much better back when you used to actually comb it." Before I gave my share of Mama's advice away to Brandon, I actually gave her brief control over my life. All the decisions I was making on a particular situation weren't working, so I figured I had nothing to lose by following her counsel. "This is the chance you've been dreaming of," I told her. "You just tell me what to do and I'll do exactly what you say." "Really?" She was incredulous, and rightly so. "Absolutely." She hesitated. "Now, I don't know that I want that responsibility." "Oh no, you can't do that. You've wanted to run my life for years. Here's your chance." So, she gave me her advice, I followed it to the letter and it failed worse than when I was running my life. After that, I now say when she starts commentary on the shape of my life, "Don't do that. I let you run my life once and you did worse than I do." She smiles sinisterly. "But I plan to keep trying 'til I get it right." And so it goes. Ronda Rich is the best-selling author of "What Southern Women Know (That Every Woman Should)" and "The Town That Came A-Courtin'."
