The wet weather of late gives hope for a stellar wildflower display this spring. Zion Canyon Field Institute is positioned to take advantage of this with numerous classes focusing on botany this spring.
This botanical bonanza all gets started on April 3 & 4 with the increasingly popular "Lytle Preserve" class. Thirty-six miles west of St. George, Utah, across the Beaver Dam Mountains, is a natural oasis known as the Lytle Preserve. Plant and animal diversity offers an ironic contrast in what seems, at first, to be an inhospitable environment. The low elevation course of the entrenched Beaver Dam Creek has provided a pathway for plants, animals, and humans into the Beaver Dam Wash vicinity. A year-round water source on the Lytle Preserve is an unusual feature in the margin of the Mohave Desert, which extends into Utah at this point. The unusual combination of geology, climate, elevation and water supply supports many trees, shrubs, and wildlife, most of which are unique to this part of Utah. Join a ZCFI geologist, botanist, and birder during peak spring migratory bird season for a multi discipline study of this incredible natural resource.
April continues with two wildflower classes; "Zion's Low Desert Wildflowers" on April 10 and "Mojave Wildflowers" on April 25. In between these two classes folks looking to create more desert-friendly landscaping around their homes can sign up for "Native Plants and Xeriscaping" on April 18. If you want to take a stab at drawing your wildflowers there is a "Watercolor Journaling" class also on April 18. And on April 18 Zion Canyon celebrates Earth Day with activities in both the park and neighboring Springdale.
May brings three more classes with botany as a major component. On May 9 & 10 ZCFI is offering their new class entitled "Zion 101" which is the interaction of geology and botany and how each affects the other with regards to desert ecosystems. "Kolob Wildflowers" on May 15 moves our enjoyment of the spring wildflower display up to the higher elevations of the Kolob Finger Canyons in the northwest corner of the park. Moving up higher still on May 30 we offer our naturalist-guided "Rim to Floor" hike on the East Rim.
On June 13 we are offering another new class "The Hanging Gardens of Zion." Zion is renowned for its "hanging gardens" created by the contact line of Navajo sandstone with Kayenta shale. Join us on a Saturday visit to major hanging garden locations in the park where will hopefully see Scarlet Monkeyflower, Zion Shooting Star, and Western and Golden Columbine in their full splendor.
Zion Canyon Field Institute is the educational arm of Zion Natural History Association and all classes are fee-based. Proceeds from class tuition help Zion Natural History Assoication further their mission goals in support of Zion National Park. For more information or to register please call Michael Plyler @ 435-772-3264 OR email: firstname.lastname@example.com. Registration can also be accomplished online @ www.zionpark.org.

Finding Room for Narveson
Heading into spring training, the Brewers knew they would likely have to make a tough decision or two when it came to the starting rotation. After sigining Randy Wolf and Doug Davis, it seemed like one of Dave Bush, Manny Parra, and Jeff Suppan would be left out of the rotation (if not off the roster completely). And that was before Chris Narveson continued the hot streak he was on to close last season.
Narveson hasn't allowed a run in 10 spring innings so far, and has been getting glowing review from Ken Macha. Given the Brewers' problems with pitching depth last season, it would make sense to keep as many starters around as possible. Unfortunately, most of the players involved in this race for the final rotation spots are out of minor league options.
Narveson can't be sent down without clearing waivers, and with the spring he's putting together, it seems doubtful someone wouldn't take a chance on him. Parra is also out of options, and also probably wouldn't make it through waivers -- even though he's struggled, he still has very good stuff and throws left-handed. Dave Bush has enough service time to decline a return trip to the minors, and Jeff Suppan is making too much money to not start the season on the 25-man roster.
So if the Brewers want to keep Narveson, what do they do? As Tom Haudricourt noted a couple days ago, the Brewers could trade another picher to make room for him, but in the end they'll only be subtracting from that depth. As it stands now, the Brewers won't have many viable major league stopgaps in their Triple A rotation outside of Chris Capuano, who may not even be stretched out enough to start. If the team isn't sure they'll be able to sneak Parra or Narveson through waivers, they may be forced to get creative with the big league bullpen to keep everyone.
Out of the original three vying for two rotation spots, whoever is left out of the rotation to start the year is still likely to make the team as the long reliever (for the sake of this argument, let's just assume that guy is Parra). David Riske is likely going to start the year on the DL, and there are a few relievers that could be sent down to make room for "Starter #7," which is probably where Narveson stands at the moment. Of the candidates to get sent down, Carlos Villanueva seems to be the most likely. He's been far from consistent, isn't making all that much, and if the team hasn't completely given up on the idea of him starting, could put him in the Nashville rotation to stretch him out again.
It would be a bit of an unconventional bullpen -- essentially two long men, and three or four total lefties (depending on if Scott Schoeneweis makes it as a second lefty reliever) -- but it would allow the Brewers to keep their starting pitching depth. Considering how bad things got last summer, I don't think many people could argue with keeping that many potential starters. It would be better than throwing Mike Burns out there every five days if someone gets hurt, wouldn't it? Until the Brewers can get some pitching prospects in the high minors, this may be the way to go.

5 Buy-Rated Dividend Stocks: AEP, GRMN, GAS, FE, EPD
Editor's Note: TheStreet ratings do not represent the views of TheStreet's staff or its contributors. Ratings are established by computer based on metrics for performance (which includes growth, stock performance, efficiency and valuation) and risk (volatility and solvency). Companies with poor cash flow or high debt levels tend to earn lower ratings in our model.TheStreet Ratings' stock model projects a stock's total return potential over a 12-month period including both price appreciation and dividends. Our Buy, Hold or Sell ratings designate how we expect these stocks to perform against a general benchmark of the equities market and interest rates.
While plenty of high-yield opportunities exist, investors must always consider the safety of their dividend and the total return potential of their investment. It is not uncommon for a struggling company to suspend high-yielding dividends and subsequently result in precipitous share price declines.
TheStreet Ratings' stock rating model views dividends favorably, but not so much that other factors are disregarded. Our model gauges the relationship between risk and reward in several ways, including: the pricing drawdown as compared to potential profit volatility, i.e. how much one is willing to risk in order to earn profits?; the level of acceptable volatility for highly performing stocks; the current valuation as compared to projected earnings growth; and the financial strength of the underlying company as compared to its stock's valuation as compared to its stock's performance.
These and many more derived observations are then combined, ranked, weighted, and scenario-tested to create a more complete analysis. The result is a systematic and disciplined method of selecting stocks. As always, stock ratings should not be treated as gospel — rather, use them as a starting point for your own research.
The following pages contain our analysis of 5 stocks with substantial yields, that ultimately, we have rated "Buy."
American Electric Power
Dividend Yield: 4.30%American Electric Power (NYSE:AEP) shares currently have a dividend yield of 4.30%. American Electric Power Company, Inc., a public utility holding company, engages in the generation, transmission, and distribution of electric power to retail customers. The company generates electricity using coal and lignite, natural gas, nuclear energy, and hydroelectric energy. The company has a P/E ratio of 18.00.The average volume for American Electric Power has been 3,066,000 shares per day over the past 30 days. American Electric Power has a market cap of $22.3 billion and is part of the utilities industry. Shares are up 4.9% year to date as of the close of trading on Wednesday.TheStreet Ratings rates American Electric Power as a buy. The company's strengths can be seen in multiple areas, such as its revenue growth, increase in stock price during the past year and reasonable valuation levels. We feel these strengths outweigh the fact that the company has had sub par growth in net income.Highlights from the ratings report include:- Despite its growing revenue, the company underperformed as compared with the industry average of 14.0%. Since the same quarter one year prior, revenues slightly increased by 5.5%. This growth in revenue does not appear to have trickled down to the company's bottom line, displayed by a decline in earnings per share.
- Compared to where it was 12 months ago, the stock is up, but it has so far lagged the appreciation in the S&P 500. Turning our attention to the future direction of the stock, it goes without saying that even the best stocks can fall in an overall down market. However, in any other environment, this stock still has good upside potential despite the fact that it has already risen in the past year.
- AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER CO's earnings per share declined by 6.3% in the most recent quarter compared to the same quarter a year ago. The company has suffered a declining pattern of earnings per share over the past year. However, we anticipate this trend reversing over the coming year. During the past fiscal year, AMERICAN ELECTRIC POWER CO reported lower earnings of $2.60 versus $3.24 in the prior year. This year, the market expects an improvement in earnings ($3.15 versus $2.60).
- Even though the current debt-to-equity ratio is 1.22, it is still below the industry average, suggesting that this level of debt is acceptable within the Electric Utilities industry. Even though the debt-to-equity ratio shows mixed results, the company's quick ratio of 0.34 is very low and demonstrates very weak liquidity.

Reports on Recent MeetingsThe Fifth International Conference on Extreme Value Analysis This Conference, held from July 23-27, 2007, was hosted by the Department of Mathematical Statistics and Actuarial Science of the University of Bern, Switzerland. The aim of the Conference was to bring together a wide range of researchers, practitioners and graduate students whose work is related to the analysis of extreme values in a broad sense. More than 120 participants were present from 26 different countries. The scientific programme included 79 talks and a poster session with 20 posters. Among
the topics of the Conference were: One day of the Conference was dedicated to Laurens de Haan on the occasion of his 70th birthday. Social activities offered an excursion to the Bernese Alps and a conference banquet with Swiss music and magic moments with the illusionist Siderato (Peter Mürner, former university rector). Funding was provided by Swiss Mobiliar, Allianz Suisse, Swiss National Science Foundation, Swiss Academy of Science and the Moser Foundation. The Conference was very successful owing to the high quality of the presentations and the posters. The open atmosphere and the smooth organisation also contributed to making this Conference an unforgettable event. Jürg Hüsler, Bern Conference on Lévy Processes: Theory and Applications This Conference was held in Copenhagen, August 13-17, 2007. There were 150 participants, among them many young researchers who had also participated in a satellite summer school at the picturesque Sandbjerg Manor in southern Denmark. The Conference provided the most recent results about the wide spectrum of Lévy process theory. The names of the speakers and the abstracts can be found at http://www.math.ku.dk/english/research/conferences/levy2007/levy.html They show convincingly that the Lévy process theory is very much alive. It has become an exciting field of research on stochastic processes. Applications include meteorology, physics, queuing and branching theory, stochastic networks, bioinformatics, finance, insurance, fractal, and heavy-tailed phenomena. The list of speakers includes old masters such as Ole Barndorff-Nielsen, Michael Markus, Jay Rosen, Ron Doney, Jean Jacod, but also various postdoctoral students and junior researchers. The Lévy Process Conferences have become important European events on the stochastic process theory. Starting in 1999 with the first conference in Aarhus (an initiative of Ole Barndorff-Nielsen), the organisation of these meetings (in Aarhus 2002, Paris 2003 and Manchester 2005) has always been based on informal networks in the stochastic process community. Thanks to an initiative of René Schilling and Alexander Lindner, the sixth conference will be held in Dresden in 2010. The stochastic process community is looking forward to this event.

This annual Berlin SCORUS meeting brings together scientists from universities
and research institutes, statisticians,
selected experts from welfare and public health institutions, firms and unions,
social workers and others in a setting
designed to support discussion and learning. Organized by Prof. Dr. Eckart
Elsner, these conferences speak to the
regional and urban issues concerning young people. By presenting research about
the situation of children and
young people in an international atmosphere, it is hoped that participants can
stimulate comparable investigations
or programs in other places that will help practitioners in providing services
and support for young people in urban
settings. IAOS Biennial Conference Smart Data, Innovative Uses - Reshaping Official Statistics, Shanghai, China, 14-16 October 2008 In 2008, the 26th biennial Conference of SCORUS will be an integral part of the IAOS Conference. The Conference will be hosted by the National Bureau of Statistics of China and will cover relevant topics for reshaping official statistics. The active participation of SCORUS in the IAOS biennial Conference provides a wonderful opportunity to explore the role of regional and urban statistics as providers and users of official statistics. Of particular interest to SCORUS members are discussions of the use and production of administrative data; trends in user demands for official statistics covering regional and small area data; GIS and regional reference systems; use of various types of data; and data policy regarding confidentiality and access. SCORUS Conference in Darmstadt, Germany, 17-19 October 2007 This European SCORUS Conference brought together statisticians, researchers, and
planners of cities and regions

J. Antoch Dear Colleagues, Council Members 2007-2011: The Council of the IASC for 2007-2009 is, aside
from these new members, composed of G. Saporta (France, Past President), Z. Geng
(China), R. Gentleman (USA), G. Kitagawa (Japan), D. Ladiray (France), and M.
Mizuta (Japan). We are entering into a very busy year for the IASC. Preparations for the 4th World Conference on Computational Statistics and Data Analysis of the IASC, a joint meeting with the 6th Conference of the Asian Regional Section of the IASC to be held in Yokohama, Japan, December 5-8, 2008, are continuing on schedule. The same holds for the 18th Symposium of the European Regional Section COMPSTAT 2008, to be held in Porto, Portugal, August 24-29, 2008. All members are cordially invited to take part. Our main challenge, aside from seeing all of you in great numbers, is to ensure that students and young researchers are able to attend. Computational Statistics & Data Analysis is the official journal of IASC. Thanks to the CSDA Editors S. Azen, E.J. Kontoghiorghes and J.C. Lee, the journal has progressed substantially and is an international reference. The impact factor of this journal is increasing. The number of pages published for volume 50 reached 3,700 pages, and 5,500 pages for volume 51, thus 9,200 pages since the 55th Session of the ISI in Sydney. As we agreed on in Lisboa during the 56th ISI Session, our principal mission is to promote the understanding, development and good practice of statistics worldwide. If you have any suggestions, please make them known either to me or to our Scientific Secretary. Report on IASC Activities Statistical Learning Data Mining and Regression Tools, Island of Procida (Naples, Italy), on September 3-7, 2007 The 9th IASC-ERS Summer School on
Statistical Learning Data Mining and Regression Tools was held in September 2007
in the picturesque venue of "ex Convento delle Orfanelle - Terra Murata" of the
University "L'Orientale" on the island of Procida, Italy. Twenty participants came from nine different
countries (Italy, Switzerland, France, Belgium, UK, Germany, Portugal, Poland
and Kuwait). Participants at the 9th IASC-ERS Summer School The Summer School was a success as deduced from the results of the Customer Satisfaction survey. Students very highly scored the organization, the professors and the teaching materials. In the same way, professors were glad to stay with students who were "eager to learn", as commented by Prof. Friedman. Forthcoming Events The next COMPSTAT Symposium, International
Conference on Computational Statistics, will take place in August 2008, in
Porto, Portugal, locally organized by the Faculty of Economics of the University
of Porto. COMPSTAT is an initiative of the European Regional Section of the

International Association for Statistics Education
International Conference on Teaching Statistics ICOTS-8 Data and Context in Statistics Education: Towards an Evidence-Based Society Ljubljana, Slovenia, 11-16 July 2010 Preliminary Notice Invited Papers Contributed Papers Posters General Issues Contributed by John Harraway SERJ - Statistics Education Research Journal The Statistics Education Research Journal (SERJ) is a peer-reviewed research journal of IASE and is published electronically twice a year. It is freely accessible at www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/serj or through the "publications" page of the IASE website: www.stat.auckland.ac.nz/~iase. Contents of Vol. 6, No. 1 (May 2007): Contents of Vol. 6, No. 2 (November 2007): The Journal is currently processing papers submitted for a special on research
on Reasoning about Informal Statistical Inference, planned for November 2008.
Guest Editors will be Dave Pratt (University of London, UK), and Janet Ainley
(University of Leicester, UK). Overall, SERJ aims to advance research-based
knowledge that can help to improve the teaching, learning and understanding of
statistics, probability or related quantitative research methods, at all
educational levels and in both formal (classroom-based) and informal
(out-of-classroom) contexts. SERJ encourages the submission of quality papers,
especially reports of original research (both quantitative and qualitative) and
integrative and critical reviews of research literature. Papers should be
written so as to make a definite contribution to current knowledge and have
implications both for researchers and for practitioners interested in
teaching/learning processes. All papers are reviewed internally by an Associate
Editor or Editor, and are blind-reviewed by at least two external referees. Contributed by Iddo Gal The Fifth International Research Forum on Statistical Reasoning, Thinking, and Literacy SRTL-5 University of Warwick, Coventry, UK, August 11-17, 2007 The Fifth Research Forum in a series of international research forums on
statistical reasoning, thinking and literacy has just drawn to a close at the
Centre for New Technologies Research in Education of the University of Warwick,
England. This particular gathering of researchers has played an important role
in advancing our understanding of the richness and depth of reasoning about
informal inference, a natural development of previous foci on variability and
distribution. Contributed by Dani Ben-Zvi International Congress on Mathematical Education ICME-11: Topic Study Group #13 Research and Development in the Teaching and Learning of Probability Probability and statistics education are relatively new disciplines. Both have
only recently been introduced into mainstream school curricula in many
countries. While application-oriented statistics is undisputed in its relevance,
discussion about probability is more ambivalent. When probability is reduced to
its classical conception, mainly based on combinatorics or its formal treatment
in higher mathematics, it can be seen as irrelevant, and may be abandoned to
leave only the statistical element of the stochastics discipline. However, we
believe that there are some powerful arguments in favour of a strong role for
probability within stochastics curricula. Website: http://tsg.icme11.org/tsg/show/14 Contributed by Manfred Borovcnik International Congress on Mathematical Education ICME-11: Topic Study Group #14 Research and Development in the Teaching and Learning of Statistics We are open to all kinds of relevant research papers, but our specific focus

Gordon Brackstone's presidential term. He directed the activities of our
Association to high standards of excellence, provided a steady leadership and
certainly knew how to get the best from collaborators in the Associations'
Executive Committee, Council and membership. I hope that all members will join
me in giving Gordon due recognition for his services to the IASS and a big THANK
YOU. Pedro Silva Message from the Scientific Secretary This issue of the Survey Statistician follows the biennial transition to new
leadership of the IASS. As the departing Editor of the Survey Statistician and
the newly elected Scientific Secretary, I would like to begin my report by
saying thank you to the IASS members who have assisted me in past activities and
to those who prepared me for my new role. I wish to thank Anders Christianson,
John Kovar, Eric Rancourt, Dennis Trewin, Claude Olivier, Lilli Japec and Gordon
Brackstone for their editorial and production contributions to the Survey
Statistician. A special note of appreciation is due to Gail Arnold who served as
Production Editor for the Survey Statistician and did the lion's share of the
work in assembling and formatting each semi-annual issue since January 2004. As
I move into new duties as Scientific Secretary, I wish to acknowledge the
mentorship and support of Lilli Japec, IASS Scientific Secretary 2005-2007, and
Pedro Silva, IASS President. Call for Proposals for IASS Short Courses, Durban, 2009 The most significant educational activity of the IASS is the programme of short
courses in Survey Statistics and Methodology that are offered immediately prior
to the biennial meetings of the International Statistical Institute (ISI).
Statement of special relevance to statisticians in developing and transitional
countries, in particular junior statisticians from African countries that will
be attending the 2009 ISI Durban Session. Steve Heeringa, IASS Scientific Secretary Report from the 2009 Programme Committee The IASS Programme Committee for the 57th Session of the ISI was formed in the summer of 2006. The Committee includes the following members.
The Committee came up with an initial list of about 80 topics for the 2009
Invited Paper Meetings. In addition, suggestions were solicited from the IASS
membership through announcements in the newsletter. The initial list was first
reduced to about 35 topics by consolidating similar topics, and eliminating
topics that were covered in recent ISI meetings. The Committee then created a
final list of 23 topics that was submitted to John Kovar, the Chair of the 2009
ISI Programme Coordinating Committee, prior to the 2007 ISI meetings.

Description: The San Antonio Express-News is looking for smart, energetic journalism students to intern in our main office in San Antonio and our Austin bureau during fall 2013. We're looking for interns who have a desire to get their stories on the front page, a willingness to work hard and want to learn from some of the best journalists in the state. This is not the kind of internship where students shadow seasoned reporters and make coffee runs. The Express-News' for-credit internship program is the kind of experience where students roll up their sleeves in two of Texas' most vibrant cities and contribute to the newspaper's report while learning their craft in a nurturing environment. Interns are needed in metro, features, sports, business, copy desk, photo and online. Internships are offered to students preparing to graduate. We do not offer post-graduate internships. Spanish-speaking is a plus. To apply, prepare a packet that includes a cover letter, resume and up to 10 of your best clips. E-mail is preferred, but if you choose regular mail, make sure everything is on 8.5x11 sheets of paper. No staples, please. If selected, you will need to get a letter from one of your professors saying you will be eligible to receive academic credit for working on our for-credit internship. E-mail or mail your packet to: If you have questions, call: Dino Chiecchi, (210) 250-3501

In Kenya, it is estimated that there are 1.6 million people living with HIV/AIDS and 1.1 million children who are orphans due to AIDS. As a whole, more than six percent of the population is infected with HIV, but the epidemic has hit specific regions and vulnerable groups much more seriously.
A strong, well-functioning and sustainable health system – capable of efficiently delivering and managing health care services – is vital to improving the health status of Kenyans. Health systems in Kenya are constrained by insufficient financial resources, a shortage and poor distribution of healthcare workers, weaknesses in legislation and information systems and a lack of management and other technical expertise. Accessing quality health services is especially difficult for women and youth.
Kenya has made incredible progress in reducing child deaths, with a 30 percent decline in child and infant mortality recorded between the last two Demographic and Health Surveys conducted in 2003 and 2008. Improvements in antenatal care, vaccinations, and malaria control have helped to drive these trends. At the same time, mothers and babies still face high risks during and around childbirth. The leading killers of children (pneumonia, diarrhea, AIDS, and malaria) are preventable and treatable, but the needed interventions often do not reach the poorest and most vulnerable.
USAID invests in population and health programs to improve the survival, well-being and productivity of the Kenyan population—especially for poor, marginalized and underserved communities. USAID partners with the Government of Kenya at the national and county levels to reduce the burden of major infectious diseases such as HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis, and address the main causes of maternal and child deaths.
Program Overview
The U.S. Agency for international Development (USAID) works closely with Malawi's Ministry of Health to strengthen the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector. Continuing this vital partnership, USAID remains committed to working with the Ministry, development partners and civil society to improve access to and provision of quality WASH services.
Program Overview
The Wellness and Agriculture for Life Advancement (WALA) program is a Title II USAID Food For Peace funded five-year $80.7 million integrated food security program. The program started in July 2009 and will end in June 2014. This initiative aims to reduce food insecurity of 215,000 vulnerable households in 39 traditional authorities in eight most food insecure districts in Southern Malawi.
Tuberculosis (TB) remains a major public health problem in Malawi. In 2011, 20,000 new and relapse cases and 1,900 deaths were reported in Malawi. It is estimated that only 66% of TB cases are diagnosed. Sixty-three percent of people with TB are also HIV positive. The number of TB cases in Malawi increased steadily from 1995 until 2003, when it reached its peak (28,000 cases) and thereafter there has been a downward trend to approximately 20,000 cases notified in 2011.
USAID is supporting the Government of Malawi (GoM) to increase the country's capacity to undertake and sustain uninterrupted supply of life- saving health commodities to the various points of use - at health care facilities up to the community level, through direct procurement of reproductive health and anti-malaria commodities, secured storage and monthly distribution of essential medicines, malarial commodities and family planning commodities to over 600 healthcare facilities.
Malaria remains the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in Malawi with approximately six million episodes of malaria per year. It is endemic in 95% of the country, with 98% of infections due to Plasmodium falciparum. The Ministry of Health estimates that malaria accounts for 34% of all outpatient visits and 40% of all hospital admissions among children under five. Four out of ten hospital deaths are reported to be due to malaria.
USAID, along with other development partners engages the Government of Malawi (GOM) on the Scaling Up Nutrition (SUN) and 1,000 days movements. USAID is a member of various technical working groups on nutrition, and is a key and founding member of the Donor Nutrition Coordination Group (DoNuts). One key outcome of this engagement and coordination with other donors is that there is minimal duplication of effort.

Utah defensive coordinator Kalani Sitake remembers the way former Ute Koa Misi could spin around offensive linemen and get into the backfield before quarterbacks could react.
He remembers and he yearned a bit for that element last year when the Utes were averaging just a little more than two sacks a game in 2011.
A look at Utah's defensive ends
Left end
Nate Fakahafua, 6-3, 250, So. » One of the most athletic players on the team keeps getting bigger and better.
Trevor Reilly, 6-5, 245, Jr. » Will also see a lot of time at linebacker. Can also play right end.
Thretton Palamo, 6-2, 250, Jr. » Hitting people suits this former rugby player
Right end
Joe Kruger, 6-7, 290, Jr. » He's big, he's fast, he's a Kruger; need we say more?

"He was a dynamic, versatile player who could do a lot for us," Sitake said.
Well, the yearning is over. If hunches are correct, the Utes could have not just one, but two and possibly three defensive ends who fit the playing style of Misi.
Defensive ends Trevor Reilly and Nate Fakahafua are known for their quickness while 6-foot-7, 280-pound Joe Kruger might not be the fastest guy on the team, but can cover a lot of ground.
Together they represent one of the most athletic groups the Utes have had at defensive end in years.
"Trevor, Nate, those guys are fast," Sitake said. "They're fast enough to play outside linebacker as well. It's going to let us do a lot of things."
Having quick defensive ends is great, but what adds to Utah's strength is the presence of solid interior linemen in Star Lotulelei and Dave Kruger. They are enough to contend with that opponents can't just focus on the ends.
"Most teams double-team Star, and Dave some too, so it's nice for us ends," Kruger said. "We get to go one-on-one almost every time and we can get in the backfield fast."
The Utes had just two sacks against Northern Colorado, but both Sitake and Reilly noted the Bears made a point to get rid of the ball quickly.

Movie review: Documentary 'Tim's Vermeer' doesn't answer the big questions

"We didn't see many five-step drops so the only thing you can try to do is bat the ball down," Sitake said. "I take that as a huge complement to us because if that is what you are doing, it takes away a lot of options and limits what you can do."
The Utes would love to have a similar influence on quarterbacks in the Pac-12. While those quarterbacks are noticeably a step up in talent, Fakahafua believes he and his teammates have a good chance of saying hello to them in a defensive sort of way.
"There are great quarterbacks in the Pac-12 but it's crucial we get to them, get them on the ground and bang them around a bit," Fakahafua said. "If you can get into their heads, it helps us a lot."
Fakahafua for one is relishing his role at left end. At 6-foot-3, 250-pounds, Fakahafua has added more than 45 pounds of muscle since he joined the Utes out of Highland H.S.
The weight hasn't slowed Fakahafua, who boasts a 4.74 in the 40-yard dash.
"I spend a lot of time working on my speed and quickness on my own and that has helped," Fakahafua said. "I still want to add more weight and keep it up there."
If the thoughts of Fakahafua barreling down on them doesn't scare quarterbacks, having Reilly or Kruger coming at them too should do the trick.
Reilly, who also plays linebacker, is one of the Utes' most athletic players. Like Fakahafua, he too took advantage of Utah's summer weight training program which put more emphasis than ever on speed drills.
"I'm getting old, I'm 24 so I have to work on that," he joked. "I feel like it's making a difference already so I'm happy with it."

CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- Children's fashions this fall season are fresh and full of attitude!
While tween trends are often edgier and frequently are indiscernible from the junior market, clothes for kids ages 5 to 10 still have a youthful exuberance and whimsy.
What's different this year is the influx of luxe fabrics, such as leather, faux fur and sequins, bright pops of color paired with neutrals, accessories and bold graphics.
For little girls, feminine ruffles still reign supreme, but they now take on a more bohemian look and are generally part of an overall layered ensemble. Accessories such as sparkly scarves and flower headbands add to the "hippie chick" vibe.
Brightly colored jeans leggings -- "jeggings" -- are also popular this year, particularly in floral and animal prints. Animal prints in the traditional neutral are another focus of fall 2013 fashions, whether it be jackets, pants or accent colors. Prints for little girls mimic the junior and adult trends with wild graphics, color-blocking and abstract geometrics.
Little boys' fashions for fall 2013 are heavily influenced by the collegiate look with rugby stripes, plaids and leather varsity jackets. Also popular are puffer vests, grunge-style jeans, cargo pants and retro-printed tees featuring cartoon and pop-culture characters from the '80s.
The color scheme for boys' fall 2013 relies heavily on the standard masculine neutrals such as camel and navy, with splashes of bright orange and chartreuse green.
A fun trend in boys' fashion that is quickly becoming a cross-season favorite is hats. No longer limited to baseball hats, boys' headwear now includes fedoras and newsboy caps. Even baseball hats are sprucing up their act with faux Mohawk styling or dinosaur fins attached.

text: 1997 Men's Tennis Year in ReviewThe Florida State men's tennis team finished its season by qualifying for NCAA regional tournament play for the fourth straight season. Led by senior Antonio Prieto and sophomore Ty Braswell, the Seminoles (16-12) were seeded seventh and faced No. 2 seed and 16th-ranked Virginia Commonwealth in the first round of the Region II Championships at Georgia Tech. Although the men dropped the match 4-1 to the Rams to complete their season, their 16 victories surpassed the 1996 win total of 15 wins. The season was also highlighted by head coach Dave Barron, who achieved his 100th win career victory earlier in the season against Jacksonville. Prieto returned to the Seminole line up in '97, after spending the '96 season in his home country of Brazil. He returned to his form of old, earning a national ranking each posting date. Braswell was a key factor all season long playing at the No. 2 singles position. His clutch play led him to a 2-0 record in the ACC tournament, including the match-clinching win against North Carolina's Rob Tedesco in the quarterfinal round. The Seminoles, seeded sixth at the ACC tournament, upset third-seeded UNC 4-2. It was just the second time since joining the ACC in 1992 that FSU defeated the Tar Heels. In a dual match doubleheader on February 22nd, Barron achieved what only two other former FSU head coaches had attained in the programs 50-year history. Against Jacksonville in the morning match the Seminoles won 5-0, giving Barron his 100th career victory. The 'Noles also picked up the afternoon match against Central Florida 5-1. Barrons currently stands at 111-66. He should become the all-time winningest coach in FSU history during the 1998 dual match season. After defeating Top-10 Duke in 1996, FSU repeated on major upsets with a 4-3 come-from-behind win over the Florida Gators in front of a number raucous fans down in Gainesville. The win was part of FSU's nine match win streak earlier in the season, one of the longest under Coach Barron's tenure. |
