OUR OPINION: Cars crash despite texting, phone bans

What utter dreck, Cell phones and texting are well know root causes for crashes, accidents and near misses while driving. Often killing other people in the process.
Texting does need to be made a crime while driving. Would you compose a Letter to the Editor while driving? Do your English homework while driving? Work on that report that is due this morning while driving?
Of course not. What is different about texting? Not a whole lot.
The human brain is not designed to multitask. It has to switch between whatever tasks your are doing and that takes time. Time that severely cuts into your reaction time. When you try to multitask, your error also rate goes up because you are not giving your full attention to any one task.
When you are behind the wheel of a moving vehicle, you have one job: Do it safely. How can you do that when your mind and eyes are focused somewhere else?

The comment above is COMPLETELY the wrong attitude.
The problem is not cell phone use or "texting", the problem is collisions. There's already legal remedies when collisions happen. We don't need to ban specific activities that MIGHT lead to a collision. All we need to do is assure that the at-fault party is financially responsible for the aftermath, and the existing laws and procedures do a reasonable job of that.
What's next–a ban on eating french fries while driving? A ban on drinking bottled water while driving? How many "other" distractions can we legislate against? How many laws can be created to restrict our lives?
Nope. All we need is to legislate against the collision, the cause is unimportant.

While i am not a fan of Government involvement in peoples lives, i wholeheartedly disagree with your statement that says "All we need to do is assure that the at-fault party is financially responsible for the aftermath" If someone is texting while driving and they cross the center line and kill my son or daughter do you really believe i am worried about a financial settlement? This is not about money, this is about protecting others from peoples stupidity. If the only bad thing to happen in a collision was the death of the person texting then knock yourself out. Its the innocent bystanders that are being protected here. My right to freedom ends at the point where it infringes on yours and i believe your right to text and drive does not trump my right to return to my family safely at night. The roads are for traveling not socializing.
I would accept your plan of no ban on texting, eating, and drinking if you accept my plan of instituting an immediate death sentence to the individual that caused the death of an innocent person. That leaves the decision up to the individual and everyone will know that if a person dies because of your decision to text and drive, that you will suffer the same fate.

Seems to me 3000 dead in 2010 in collisions where cell phones were in use is enough evidence for. the ban on phones while driving.

I'm not worried about me but the other guy. The dangers of driving a motor vehicle isn't anything to take for granted. Very few of us, outside of a state trooper, understands what happens when the momentum of a vehicle is no longer under the driver's control. Try losing control in a snowstorm and see what happens.
Personally I love talking on the cell phone while driving. It means I'm not wasting time just driving. However, I think they should be banned so that others, or me, don't needlessly kill or injure others.

Reese Witherspoon's recent appearance on our list of the sexiest dresses from this year's Oscars had us thinking . . . is she a secret siren? America's sweetheart has certainly had some sultry looks along the way, starting with some dresses way back in the mid-'90s. Instead of charting all of her red carpet glamour, we're zeroing in on the most sizzle-worthy dresses of all.

text: As the 2011 MLB season approaches, many Reds fans are excited to see how the 100 mph throwing Cuban Missile will preform. Yet, Aroldis Chapman needs to spend the 2011 season in the bullpen. Many people want to see Chapman in the rotation, but that may not be the best thing for the hard throwing lefty. He accumulated a total of 13.1 innings pitched last season, with a 2.03 ERA. He was called up in late June last season, only allowing his to face a select few MLB batters, with a complete season in the bullpen, Chapman would be able to strengthen his talents against the MLB's best. Also he is the perfect set up man for Coco Cordero. Masset, Bray, Ondrusek, and have been spotty at best, with 3.40 ERA, 4.13 ERA, and 3.61 ERA respectively. Chapman at this point in time at least, fits the set-up man role perfectly at this time. Another point to look at, we could have another Mike Leake or Steven Strasburg situation abrewing. Chapman has not thrown the innings or number of pitches, that would let on think that he is capable of pitching an entire season as a starter. So for now the Reds game plan should be to keep the "Cuban Missile" ready to launch in the bullpen.

From the start, Electra "Ellie" Alessio was one of the more unlikely residents of Kingston.
After all, she was a true city girl.
The daughter of Greek immigrants, she was raised in the inner-city Boston neighborhood known as Dorchester and later on Massachusetts' South Shore. Boston was her playground, first as a child roaming the city's historic library in Copley Square and the Museum of Science and later in its clubs and coffeehouses as an undergraduate at Boston University.
It was in one of those clubs that she met her late husband, Constino "Buddy" Alessio, soon after earning her college diploma in 1970. Three months later, they married and within a year, he was given the chance to run a grocery store in New Hampshire. In 1971, they were crossing the border into Kingston.
Alessio might as well have been sent overseas. Kingston was foreign territory to the then 23-year-old. And she was a veritable Greek fish out of water. She spent a lot of that first year homesick and in tears.
Four decades later, it's hard for most — Alessio included — to imagine she belonged anywhere else.
She has served Kingston in countless capacities — as its town moderator for more than 25 years, member and former chairwoman of the Zoning Board of Adjustment as well as co-chairwoman of the Kingston Community Profile Project. She was named its Citizen of the Year in 2008.
A proud lobbyist for the Equal Rights Amendment, she has been a staunch advocate for women, especially those in business. She is a charter member of both the Kingston Business and Professional Women's organization and Plaistow Area Commerce Exchange and a dedicated member of the Exeter Area Chamber of Commerce. For six years, she served on the New Hampshire Commission on the Status of Women.

I'll keep this one short, as I have kept all the recent updates short for reasons of drunkenness, stupidity or outright lies. I'm still gathering strength from my return from the GWMF, which was so powerful I feel enervated after, and in addition I'm collecting many thoughts in the wake of my recent receivement of an actual for real American Green Card. After nine years of life in the United States, I think I'm prepared to be a permanent resident. Time will surely tell! So what's on offer this week? Oh, only the striking, startling new edition of Mant, to wit Yep, Mant's still in the hopper. What could ever click click click become of him?
Wed, Jul 30 - Con Returned Whew! Comic-Con was a lot of fun! I'll admit, I was doing a lot of complaining about having to get ready for it, but it was worth it. Got to hang out with Keith and Lonnie and Miriam and others, met up with Dan Harmon, attended a fun Adult Swim party, sang "Oh Fionna" to its writer Rebecca Sugar, got and loved the first two JediAcademy books by Jeffrey Brown, got and loved Heck by Zander Cannon, and just basically hung out and drank a lot and made people smile every now and again. As I said: Fun! And now this weekend is the sure-to-be-great , which means it's time to do an early update, and as promised this one comes with TWO whole cartoons! Well, techinically two whole cartoons, though admittedly one is pretty brisk. Here it is: Okay, that one's a bit enigmatic, I'll admit. But check out the awesome seriousness of its sequel!What the hell? What is all this Mant business about? I can't say I'm absolutely sure myself, but sometimes you just have to let the creative process play itself out and see where you end up. I guarantee a shocking twist next week!

And as you, my loyal readers well know, that means I'll be once again hawking my wares at the big show, flower-hatted up like all get-out, standing behind my table in the Small Press Area, K16 alongside the likes of Lonnie Milsap, the inestimable and of course many others, handing out flyers and enticing unsuspecting passersby into entering the strange and yet occasionally rewarding world of Bob the Angry Flower. If you happen to be in San Diego this week, and additionally happen to be going to the Big Show, stop on by and say "Hi"! You know... for kids! The Bad News Because it's so early in the week and I'm heading out to the Con, I'm holding out on posting a new strip this week. The horror!The Good News On my return from the Con and before my almost immediate departure north for the , I'll post two --count 'em-- two cartoons this time next week!

Get Out and Welcome KJ Back Home!
According to SacTownMike in the above linked
fanshot fanpost, KJ will be coming home today (Sunday):
"Mayor Johnson will be arriving in Sacramento tomorrow (Sunday) at 12:17 p.m. Flight (2284) Delta."
Can't get there because I'm working today, but if some of you who aren't in the know can get there, then please do.
Also, spread the word. The man's had a pretty crappy 48 hours, and he needs to know from the community what he's done for us over the past year. It is from us that he will derive the strength to continue to fight the Magoofian Empire of BS.
So if you can, get out to Metro and welcome him home - and by so doing, send a message to Fat, Drunk and Stupid the Maloof brothers.

text: This has to be the best thing on the internet right now. I hope everyone remembers JoJo Simmons from "Run's House".. yes, Run's son. Yes, exactly who you have pictured in your mind. JoJo has been chasing his father's footsteps since we became apart of our lives years ago on the show. Back when he was asking for keys to the RR Phantom and all that. Well, it seems as if everyone has to grow up someday and the bubble gum rap that he had with the J-5 or whatever you call it is over and dead. JoJo has taken the street route.. he is Jeezy now that Jeezy isn't dropping anytime soon. Listen, not only does JoJo lack the physical appearance, the flow, the delivery, the style, the story or the name to have any sort of street cred (say this out loud: JoJo Gangsta), we ACTUALLY SEEN THIS DUDE GROW UP IN A MANSION! So He's gonna put the pump to our chests and bag our chicks now? If I see anything else from the Simmons family surface on the net it better be some Angela or Vanessa leaks... I hope Diggy makes a diss track.

Article marketing in terms of submitting them to article directories is definitely far less effective now post panda/penguin but it still has some value. I read ezinearticles is making a come back, but personally I don't think it's worth the effort. In terms of article marketing for yourself, it depends, if you believe googles pitch about "quality content", then sure, articles in that sense are absolutely effective. I read a post above about getting syndicated, that's also a great route to go, albeit not easy, but very doable if you're persistent and very effective if your article offers value and/or solves a problem. Also on the market side, buy/selling articles is at an all time high right now, so overall article marketing is still flourishing. Lot of sites like fiverr etc...that have popped up where you can buy/sell that stuff all day.

I think the topic is to answer the question if the article marketing is still an effective tool. My answer is yes.
The way I do it is to write an article on my blog and after few days, once it gets indexed, submit the same article into article directories.
This way ensures the original content of the article leads to my website, plus I boost my rankings by linking back to my original article, plus I get a little bit of extra traffic from these directories.

Winterbourne View Report
11 care workers have now pleaded guilty to ill treating or neglecting patients at Winterbourne View hospital near Bristol. A serious case review into abuse at the care home is due to be published today.
CPS: 'This was a disability hate crime'
The last care worker charged with ill-treating patients at Winterbourne View Hospital near Bristol has appeared in court to plead guilty.
It means 11 members of staff have now admitted abusing or neglecting vulnerable mental health patients.
Ann Reddrop from the Crown Prosecution Service read out the following statement outside Bristol Crown Court:
Patients rights were undermined in a 'brutal way' at Winterbourne View, says head of CPS
– Ann Redropp, Head of the CPS Complex Case Team
Safety and security, and the ability to live free from fear and harassment, are fundamental human rights. The kind of offending that took place at Winterbourne View undermined these rights in an appalling and systematically brutal way.
The CPS has treated these as Disability Hate Crimes, which we regard as particularly serious.
Winterbourne View: Detective says case would not have been possible without whistle blowers
– Detective Chief Superintendent Louisa Rolfe, CID
The eleven individuals abused the trust of victims and that of their relatives and friends. They have all pleaded guilty to criminal offences of ill treatment and neglect as detailed within the Mental Health Act.
Had it not been for the actions of individuals who raised concerns about the neglect and cruelty suffered by the victims at Winterbourne View, this wholly unacceptable behaviour would have continued unchecked.
We now await sentencing which will bring the criminal justice process to a final conclusion."
Winterbourne View: Care worker pleads guilty
Michael Ezenugu pleaded guilty to two charges of ill treatment at Bristol Crown Court today. A total of 11 people have now pleaded guilty to ill treatment whilst working at the Winterbourne View care home in South Gloucestershire.

"I wanted to fight the 'Korean Zombie' because the UFC really holds him in high regard. Dana White is a fan of his. You see him wearing Korean Zombie shirts, so what better guy to go up against? I really want to make a statement in this fight and get that title shot. I'm bringing fireworks... I am going out there to finish the job. I think I have to finish him to really impress the UFC. I'm always looking to finish, but this is my chance to make a huge statement. I'm working harder than I ever have before, and people are going to see a caged animal when I step in there."
-- UFC featherweight Ricardo Lamas completely understands the importance of making a good impression. Considering the popularity of his upcoming opponent "The Korean Zombie" Chan Sung Jung, Lamas tells Bleacher Report that he views his UFC 162 bout as the ultimate opportunity to make a statement and finally clear up some of the muddled mess that is the top UFC featherweight contenders. With UFC featherweight champion Jose Aldo locking horns againt Anthony Pettis, Lamas would be in prime position to get the next shot at the champ should he get past Jung. Do you agree with the Bully?

Jeffrey Alan Gielau, formerly with Westlake Village, California based Financial West Investment Group, submitted a letter of acceptance, waiver, and consent after the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (FINRA) entered findings that he had his non-licensed sales assistant sign as agent of record on a customer's variable annuity (VA) replacement form. FINRA's findings stated that the form was necessary for the customer to replace a VA he purchased from the firm where Mr. Gielau had been terminated for falsifying customer signatures with a product from another insurance company.
An annuity is a form of insurance that offers a series of payments for a period of time. Variable annuities are typically higher in risk when compared other types of annuities and depend on how the stock market is performing. Buyers have the option to allocate the cash invested into different types of assets such as mutual funds, indices, fixed income investments or bonds, and cash. Most variable annuities do not have principal protection, so investors can lose money if markets deteriorate.
Mr. Gielau knew that his sales assistant, as a non-licensed person, was not allowed to sign the form as the agent of record. Mr. Gielau, of Orange, California, was fined $5,000 and suspended from association with any FINRA member in any capacity for 30 days. The suspension was in effect from January 7, 2013 through February 5, 2013, and the fine must be paid either immediately upon Mr. Gielau's re-association with a FINRA member firm following his suspension, or prior to the filing of any application or request for relief from any statutory disqualification, whichever is earlier.

Valdosta State University's planetarium now has state of the art technology.
They've gone from a mechanical projector to a digital one that uses an IPAD.
The planetarium also had a new sound and light system installed.
The mechanical projector allowed students to look at the sky at night from any place on earth but students were restricted to earth.
Now they can visit other planets and even the moon.
"With the digital planetarium, its computer capabilities, we can do that but also simulate flying to the moon and standing on the moon's surface and flying around the rings of Saturn," said Dr. Kenneth Rumstay.
The $160,000 project was completed from Valdosta's State Academic equipment pool. The dome was also cleaned and painted during the summer.

The Notre Dame Fighting Irish produced an absolutely incredible amount of offense at home against the South Florida Bulls, but bad mistakes were ultimately their undoing. Despite nearly 400 yards passing and well over 100 yards rushing, USF was able to come away with a 23-20 win at Notre Dame Stadium, thanks to four turnovers by the Irish.
Dayne Crist threw an interception in the end zone - probably the most egregious error by an Irish offensive player in the game - and was pulled at halftime by Brian Kelly. Tommy Rees came in and performed better than Crist, but threw two interceptions. One was entirely the fault of wide receiver T.J. Jones, while the other was on Rees.
The game was delayed by weather twice, both at halftime and in the fourth quarter. The first halftime delay lasted over two hours, while the second weather delay lasted around 30 minutes.
Notre Dame almost engineered a dramatic comeback, as Rees lead the Irish down the field in the fourth quarter in a fantastic two-minute drill to bring his team back within three points, but they couldn't recover the onside kick. The Irish will be left wondering what could have been, as they easily should have scored three or four more touchdowns than they did.
Stay tuned to the opening Saturday of college football with SB Nation's huge assortment of college football blogs and SB Nation's college football news hub. For more on Notre Dame, visit SB Nation's One Foot Down, and for more on USF, visit Voodoo Five.

I would have to agree that if it blends it's bad. Jesus Christ said I am the way the truth and the life, not I am one of many ways, truths, and lifes. It seems to me in the book of Revelation he says that he does not like us to be lukewarm like some or he will spit us out.

Natalie's Review
Graham Beck Game The Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2009, W.O., Robertson, South Africa: Vintages Wine Panel: The Graham Beck Game Reserve Cabernet is the new name of the perennial Vintages customer favourite, The Gamekeeper's Reserve. The name may have changed, but the wine is as delicious as ever. Look for notes of blueberries and blackberries, cedar, spices and leather. The palate is dry with black-fruit flavours, toasty oak and wonderfully integrated tannins. My note: Lovely cedar-rich, mint, blackberry-deep wine. Full-bodied and smooth with a kick that keeps you coming back to the glass. Perfect with just about any book after dinner. 2519 14% XD 750 mL $18.95 Score: 89/100. February 5, 2011 Full Review

First, go grab some headphones. The best ones you've got. If the best ones you've got are these suckers (or something similar), you should really go buy new ones, but use the best you've got for right now.
Take a break from whatever you're doing for 2 minutes and listen, but just listen to the whole thing, even if you have to multi-task but it's cooler if you close your eyes.
Headphones on? Ok. Good.
Now, press play.

Buffalo's schedule will be far from a cake walk in 2010. Half of their 16 game slate will be against top 10 defenses in points per game allowed (Balt, Cin, GB, Minn, Jets and Patriots twice). But if the Bills' defense can duplicate their takeaway success of last season and special teams with some ultra-talented returners can provide short fields, there's a chance Buffalo's offense could have more production than it has seen in some time.
That is a quote from Chris Brown in his 25 question series leading up to training camp at BuffaloBills.com.
And I just wanted to admit a couple of things. I love the Bills and I always will. The Bills have been sucking, and once the playoffs are out of reach, and as every new year dawns, I am very realistic in terms of my accepting just how bad our Bills do in fact suck. Front office, coaches, quarterbacks, linemen... everyone is to blame in some form or another.
As the offseason moves on, I read what the site editors like Brian, MRW and Kurupt talk about in terms of team needs, talent in the college ranks and what needs to be done and what has been done, and why are why not those have been either good or bad...
As the draft approaches, I am commenting heavily, and perhaps putting up fanshots to get the first jump on the news of the day, or writing fanposts and being disappointed at the small amount of comments it received. At least there are rec'd comments to cheer me up... but that's beside the point.
Now that training camp gets nearer, the draft news has settled, and mini-camp has created a place where we can learn about our players and how they PRACTICE, already deciding who should start and who is going to get canned based on what team employees say they have done in the field house.
But now, after reading the above quote, I have realized what has come so fast, that I have already been infected. I am a Buffalo Bills HOMER and I am already envisioning scenarios where the 2010 Buffalo Bills have a very good shot at beating the Ravens, the Bengals, the Vikings, the Packers, the Jets, and the Patriots. It doesn't matter how, it only matters that it is possible.
Every year it happens, and I go from pessimist at the end of the previous year, to realist during FA and the draft, then to cautious optimist during mini-camp, enthusiastically hopeful optimist during training camp, and then when opening day hits... I am a full-blooded Buffalo BILL-IEVER that the Bills can win any game.... and in recent years, that lasts until about week 10 or 11 (sometimes sooner) that it is horribly apparent that we can't.
Just a fan. GO BILLS!

Deputies are looking for a man who ran into a marsh Friday when they tried to stop him. He hasn't been heard from since.
The Sheriff's office said in a news release there are warrants for the arrest of Charles Leon Liles, 33, Pisgah, but at this time they just want to know he is safe.
Authorities say a deputy stopped Friday to check two suspicious males standing behind the BP Quick Stop on Highway 35 and Gant Road in Scottsboro. They say Liles ran when the deputy stopped.
Tracking dogs were brought out and tracked Liles to an area near the water treatment plant on Highway 35, and he ran into a marshy area when the dogs approached. After two hours of searching, they called the search off.
Family members called the Sheriff's office Monday and said they hadn't heard from Liles since Friday. The Jackson County Rescue Squad and an Alabama State Troopers' helicopter searched for five more hours but still found nothing.
The sheriff's office is asking that anyone with knowledge of where Liles may be call them at (256) 574-2610.
The second man at the Quick Stop, Anthony Douglas Grey, 38, Pisgah, was arrested on outstanding warrants out of Rainsville.

WARNER ROBINS -- Despite temperatures dipping below freezing, the Robins Pacers running group met before dawn.
The group of 10 people with reflective jackets, hats and gloves were enthusiastic about starting their run Saturday morning.
Don McMahan, 58, has been in numerous marathons including the Boston Marathon in 2011. He normally runs with his daughter, Megan McMahan.
Weve been running together for years and years, he said.
Most of the runners were entered in the 18th annual Museum of Aviation Foundation Marathon, Half-Marathon and 5K Run/Walk, which will be Jan. 18.
One of the participants, Andrew Adams, 27, said running was his New Years resolution.
He has entered in his first half-marathon at the museum.
Adams and McMahan paired off and were one of the first to leave the parking lot of Dunkin Donuts on Ga. 96. There the route takes the group to Cohen Walker Drive, where they run from Houston Lake Road, make a u-turn and head to Lake Joy Road, making another u-turn back to the parking lot.
Running is like trying to quit smoking, McMahan said. Its a lot of false starts.
The groups have running partners to motivate them. They are grouped by how far they want to run and by how fast they run.
Most of us have partners that run at the same pace, said Michelle Rowell of Warner Robins.
Anyone is welcome to join the group, which has a website, www.robinspacers.org.
The racers who have previously participated in the musuems race joked that the weather was always frigid.
The race has a knack for the coldest day of the year, McMahan said.
The three races are part of the 2014 Run & See Georgia Grand Prix Series. Proceeds from the annual even benefit the Museum of Aviation. Because of its popularity, organizers have capped the participants at 1,500.
The start time for the marathon is 8 a.m., half-marathon will start at 8:15 a.m. and the 5K Run/Walk will start at 8:30 a.m. Opening ceremonies will be held in the Century of Flight Hangar.
Runners who finish the marathon and half-marathon will receive medals.

"Thank u everyone for your concerns! I just landed at JFK..may go back, but for now very happy to be home," Katie Tweeted on Thursday night. "Thanks for all the good wishes, everyone! It is pretty scary and unruly out there, but we're being very cautious."
NBC's Brian Williams also exited the violence-ravaged country and will instead broadcast "NBC Nightly News" from Amman, Jordan.
On Thursday, Anderson remained in Egypt but broadcasted "Anderson Cooper 360" via Skype from an unnamed location after his car was attacked in Cairo on Thursday.
On Friday, the Committee to Protect Journalists told Access Hollywood that in the last 24 hours, 30 journalists had been detained, 26 assaulted. There have also been eight incidents in which journalists' equipment was either damaged or seized.

The Columbus Police Department says an officer saw 52-year-old Mark Krueger of Columbus driving and knew Krueger did not have a license so he pulled him over. The officer said he detected intoxicants on Krueger's breath.
Police say Krueger's preliminary breath test showed a .049 BAC. Due to his 7 prior OWI offenses, his prohibited alcohol content in Wisconsin is .02 BAC.
Officers say Krueger was booked into the Columbia County Jail on felony OWI charges, operating while suspended and a probation violation.

Jacory Harris And Sean Spence, University of Miami Players, Declared Ineligible
The University of Miami has declared quarterback Jacory Harris and linebacker Sean Spence ineligible, a source told the South Florida Sun-Sentinel.
Harris, Spence and six other UM players are being investigated by the NCAA for allegedly receiving impermissible benefits, the Sun-Sentinel said Thursday.
After declaring them ineligible the university requested the players' reinstatement from the NCAA in hopes of having them available to play in the Sept. 5 season opener at Maryland, the report said.
The NCAA has the option to decide whether to reinstate the players immediately, reinstate them on the condition they repay benefits received and sit out a certain amount of games, or deem them permanently ineligible.
Stacey Osburn, NCAA associate director of public and media relations, said the goal of the reinstatement committee when dealing with eligibility cases is that "a student-athlete shouldn't miss competition because they're waiting on a decision, whenever possible."
The harshest penalty was meted out to defensive end Olivier Vernon, who was suspended six games and told to repay $1,200 in benefits, the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reported.
"The student-athletes involved have acknowledged receiving improper benefits and will now be responsible for restitution and, in some cases, the student-athletes will also serve game suspensions," Miami Athletic Director Shawn Eichorst said in a statement.

Seventeen players wore #83 for the Denver Broncos in team history. Ten Wide Receivers, four Tight Ends, two Defensive Linemen and a Cornerback. The odds favor the Wide-outs in this discussion, but let's see how the story unfolds. Here are the candidates.
Ray Jacobs was drafted by the Houston Oilers in the 1st round (7th overall) of the 1962 AFL Draft and the Dallas Cowboys in the 17th round (228th overall) of the 1962 NFL Draft. He spurned both teams and the NFL to play 4 seasons for the Denver Broncos from 1963-1966. Jacobs started 21 games at Left Defensive End and 25 games at Left Defensive Tackle, earning 2nd Team All-AFL honors from the Associated Press in 1965. He also played for the Miami Dolphins from 1967-1968 and the Boston Patriots in 1969.
Young's 70-yard touchdown reception was one of the biggest plays in the Denver Broncos' 37-21 victory over the Cleveland Browns in the AFC championship game. As a Bronco from 1989-92, Young started 14 of 51 games, with 95 catches for 1,427 yards, a 15.0 average, 8 touchdowns and one Fumble."It's good to have a receiving corps like we have right now with the four receivers," said Johnson, who had 52 catches for 878 yards at the time. "They can't just double up on one guy. That's why I'm having such a good year."
"One day (at Training Camp) I just picked up a ball and snapped it to (punter) Craig Hentrich. The Special-Teams coach, Alan Lowry, noticed something in that snap and told me, 'A tight end who snaps can stay in this league a lot longer than a tight end who punts.' "
Leach has never caught an NFL pass, but his value as a Long Snapper has been remarkable. As it turns out, that initiative he showed in a Tennessee Training Camp was a great career move. And considering one bad snap on Special Teams can be a big difference in the outcome of a game, okay that and his service time, Mike Leach wins this by the nose of a football.
MHR gives a Mile High Salute to Mike Leach as the Greatest Bronco to wear #83.

Adult Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma Treatment (Professional) (cont.)
Aggressive, Noncontiguous Stage II/III/IV Adult Non-Hodgkin Lymphoma
Note: Some citations in the text of this section are followed by a level of evidence. The PDQ editorial boards use a formal ranking system to help the reader judge the strength of evidence linked to the reported results of a therapeutic strategy. (Refer to the PDQ summary on Levels of Evidence for more information.)
Drug combinations described in this section:
The treatment of choice for patients with advanced stages of aggressive non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) is combination chemotherapy, either alone or supplemented by local-field radiation therapy.[1]
Doxorubicin-based combination chemotherapy produces long-term disease-free survival in 35% to 45% of patients.[2,3,4] Higher cure rates have been reported in single-institution studies than in cooperative group trials.
A prospective randomized trial of four regimens (CHOP, ProMACE CytaBOM, m-BACOD, and MACOP-B) for patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma showed no difference in overall survival (OS) or time-to-treatment failure (TTF) at 3 years.[4][Level of evidence: 1iiA] Other randomized trials have confirmed no advantage among the standard doxorubicin-based combinations versus CHOP.[5];[6][Level of evidence: 1iiA] A randomized clinical trial failed to demonstrate a beneficial effect of adjuvant radiation therapy in advanced-stage aggressive NHL.[7]
The combination of rituximab and CHOP (R-CHOP) showed improvement in event-free survival (EFS) and OS compared with CHOP alone in 399 advanced-stage patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma older than 60 years (EFS = 57% vs. 38%, P = .002, and OS = 70% vs. 57%, P = .007 at 2 y).[8][Level of evidence: 1iiA] At 5-years' median follow-up, the OS of patients who received R-CHOP compared with patients who received CHOP was 58% versus 45%, P < .007.[9] Similarly, for 326 evaluable patients younger than 61 years, R-CHOP showed improvement in EFS and OS compared to CHOP alone (EFS = 79% vs. 59%, P = .001, and OS = 93% vs. 84%, P = .001 at 3 years).[10][Level of evidence: 1iiA] These two studies established R-CHOP as the standard regimen for newly diagnosed patients with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.[11]
A preliminary study using CHOP with or without etoposide for patients older than 60 years suggested improvement in EFS and OS for treatment delivered every 2 weeks versus the standard 3-week regimen.[12] A randomized study (DSHNHL-1999-1A) of 1,222 patients older than 60 years compared R-CHOP given every 2 weeks for six or eight cycles to CHOP given every 2 weeks for six or eight cycles.[13] With a median follow-up of 35 months, the EFS favored R-CHOP given every 2 weeks for six or eight cycles (EFS, relative risk [RR] = 0.5 [0.40–0.65], P < .001). The OS favored R-CHOP for only six cycles because of increased toxicity in the eight-cycle arm (RR of death = 0.63 [0.46–0.85], P = .003).[13][Level of evidence: 1iiA] There was no comparison to standard R-CHOP or CHOP given every 3 weeks.
A trial of 635 patients, aged 61 to 69 years, with stage III and stage IV disease, elevated lactate dehydrogenase (LDH), or performance status of 2 to 4, randomly assigned patients to receive CHOP or ACVBP. With a median follow-up of 68 months, patients who received ACVBP had superior EFS and OS (EFS = 39% vs. 29% at 5 years, P = .005 and OS = 46% vs. 38% at 5 years, P = .036).[14][Level of evidence: 1iiA] Two prospective randomized trials that compared CHOP with CNOP for patients aged 60 years and older with diffuse large cell lymphoma showed a significant advantage for CHOP in terms of disease-free survival and OS.[15];[16][Level of evidence: 1iiA] Two other randomized trials of patients aged 70 years and older confirm the superiority of CHOP over other less toxic regimens in progression-free survival and OS.[17];[18][Level of evidence: 1iiA] Although infusion regimens have been proposed, a randomized trial of infusional CHOP versus standard CHOP therapy showed no improvement in relapse-free survival or OS.[19][Level of evidence: 1iiA] As SWOG-9349 did, clinical trials continue to explore modifications of CHOP and rituximab with CHOP by increasing doses, reducing intervals between cycles, and combining new drugs with new mechanisms of action.[14,20,21,22]
An International Prognostic Index (IPI) for aggressive NHL (diffuse large cell lymphoma) identifies five significant risk factors prognostic of OS:[23]
Patients with two or more risk factors have a less than 50% chance of relapse-free survival and OS at 5 years. This study also identifies patients at high risk of relapse based on specific sites of involvement, including bone marrow, central nervous system (CNS), liver, lung, and spleen. Patients at high risk of relapse may be considered for clinical trials.[24] Molecular profiles of gene expression using DNA microarrays may help to stratify patients in the future for therapies directed at specific targets and to better predict survival after standard chemotherapy.[25,26]
Several randomized prospective trials evaluated the role of autologous bone marrow transplantation (BMT) or stem cell transplantation consolidation versus chemotherapy alone in patients in first remission with diffuse large cell lymphoma.[27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34];[35][Level of evidence: 1iiA] Although some of these trials demonstrated significant increases in EFS (by 10% to 20%) among patients who received high-dose therapy, significant differences in OS could not be demonstrated prospectively in any of the series. Retrospective analyses of high-intermediate (two risk factors) or high-risk (more than three risk factors) patients as defined by IPI suggest improved survival with BMT in two of the trials.[28,34] These studies do not establish that high-dose consolidation is of value to patients with aggressive lymphoma who are truly at high risk of relapse, and they also demonstrate that EFS may be a poor surrogate for OS for these patients.[36] Whether autologous BMT, or peripheral stem cell transplantation, or allogeneic BMT have definitive roles in the treatment of high-risk patients in first remission awaits the results of ongoing randomized trials such as SWOG-S0016, for example, that employed R-CHOP or other rituximab-based chemotherapy regimens.
CNS prophylaxis (usually with four to six injections of methotrexate intrathecally) is recommended for patients with paranasal sinus or testicular involvement. Some clinicians are employing high-dose intravenous methotrexate (usually four doses) as an alternative to intrathecal therapy because drug delivery is improved and patient morbidity is decreased.[37] CNS prophylaxis for bone marrow involvement is controversial; some investigators recommend it, and others do not.[4,38] A retrospective analysis of 605 patients with diffuse large cell lymphoma who did not receive prophylactic intrathecal therapy identified an elevated serum LDH and more than one extranodal site as independent risk factors for CNS recurrence. Patients with both risk factors have a 17% probability of CNS recurrence at 1 year after diagnosis (95% confidence interval [CI], 7%–28%) versus 2.8% (95% CI, 2.7%–2.9%) for the remaining patients.[39][Level of evidence: 3iiiDiii] Patients with diffuse small noncleaved-cell/Burkitt's lymphoma or lymphoblastic lymphoma have a 20% to 30% lifetime risk of CNS involvement. CNS prophylaxis is recommended for these histologies.
Standard treatment options:
Current Clinical Trials
Check for U.S. clinical trials from NCI's list of cancer clinical trials that are now accepting patients with aggressive, noncontiguous stage II adult non-Hodgkin lymphoma, aggressive, stage III adult non-Hodgkin lymphoma and aggressive, stage IV adult non-Hodgkin lymphoma. The list of clinical trials can be further narrowed by location, drug, intervention, and other criteria.

From City of Lubbock:
This Saturday, June 22, the City of Lubbock will rename the section of the City Cemetery commonly known as Carver Heights Baby Land to Vivian T. Cooke Memorial Baby Land. The ceremony will take place at 10 a.m. at the City of Lubbock Cemetery.
For decades, Carver Heights Baby Land was a traditionally African American section of the cemetery, home to several unmarked graves belonging to infants whose parents were unable to afford a grave marker or headstone.
Mrs. Cooke was a long time resident of Lubbock who taught art in local schools for over thirty years. In retirement, Mrs. Cooke focused her energy on her own artistic talents, and in 2011, the City of Lubbock and others in the community dedicated her sculpture "A Golden Day" in Carver Heights Baby Land.
The sculpture reflects not only the intense feelings of both joy and loss in the parents of babies laid to rest there, but also Mrs. Cooke's personal experience as a mother and the overwhelming grief she endured upon losing an adult son. After her own death in March 2012, many in Lubbock felt compelled to honor Mrs. Cooke's work and contributions to the local community, thus the idea to rename this historic area was put forth.

Yolanda Joe is a Chicago native, raised on the south side by her maternal grandparents. Her working class family was influential in pushing her to achieve her goals of being a journalist and a novelist.
Ms. Joe received a four-year academic scholarship to Yale University, from which she graduated in 1984 with a BA in English Literature. During her stint at Yale she studied under well-known scholar Henry Louis Gates and received a fellowship to study British Literature at Oxford in England. She went on to receive an MS in Broadcasting from the Columbia School of Journalism.
Yolanda Joe began her professional journalism career at Chicago's WBBM-AM, an all news radio station, where she was a production assistant, a producer, and part time writer. She transferred from radio to television and worked as a writer and producer for Channel 2, the CBS-owned station. She is currently a freelance journalist, spending more time on her novels.
Her first book, Falling Leaves of Ivy (Longmeadow Press, 1992), was about four college friends who share a secret that could ruin their lives. Set in the fast-paced-have-it-all-80s, it is about interracial relationships, racism in the workplace, betrayal, and murder. The book made the Blackboard best seller list in 1993.
Ms. Joe's second novel, He Say, She Say (Doubleday, 1997), is a vibrant and rollicking novel that shows how black men and women relate to one another through friendship, family, and romance. The novel made the Blackboard and Chicago Tribune best seller lists. Her third novel, Bebe's By Golly Wow (Doubleday, 1998), was a Literary Guild Book of the Month selection as well as a Blackboard best seller. Her fourth novel, This Just In (Doubleday, 2000) is about five friends in the television news business and focuses on racism and sexism in that cut-throat industry.
Details At Ten (Simon & Schuster, September 19, 2000) was the debut novel in Yolanda Joe's mystery series and introduces Georgia Barnett, a sassy and daring television investigative reporter whose passion for news, desire for justice, and love for Chicago are the driving forces behind the series.
Now Georgia Barnett is back on the case in Ardella Garland's second fast-paste, suspense-packed, and thought-provoking mystery, Hit Time (Simon & Schuster, February 13, 2002). Once again, Garland takes readers inside the competitive world of television news and confronts real-life, racially charged issues of injustice, corruption, and violence.
Yolanda Joe writes and resides in her hometown of Chicago.
