The National Academy of Sciences is a private, nonprofit, self-perpetuating soci-
ety of distinguished scholars engaged in scientific and engineering research, dedi-
cated to the furtherance of science and technology and to their use for the general
welfare. Upon the authority of the charter granted to it by the Congress in 1863, the
Academy has a mandate that requires it to advise the federal government on scien-
tific and technical matters. Dr. Bruce M. Alberts is president of the National Academy
of Sciences.
The National Academy of Engineering was established in 1964, under the charter
of the National Academy of Sciences, as a parallel organization of outstanding engi-
neers. It is autonomous in its administration and in the selection of its members, shar-
ing with the National Academy of Sciences the responsibility for advising the federal
government. The National Academy of Engineering also sponsors engineering pro-
grams aimed at meeting national needs, encourages education and research, and
recognizes the superior achievements of engineers. Dr. William A. Wulf is president
of the National Academy of Engineering.
The Institute of Medicine was established in 1970 by the National Academy of Sci-
ences to secure the services of eminent members of appropriate professions in the
examination of policy matters pertaining to the health of the public. The Institute acts
under the responsibility given to the National Academy of Sciences by its congres-
sional charter to be an adviser to the federal government and, upon its own initia-
tive, to identify issues of medical care, research, and education. Dr. Kenneth I. Shine
is president of the Institute of Medicine.
The National Research Council was organized by the National Academy of Sci-
ences in 1916 to associate the broad community of science and technology with the
Academy's purposes of furthering knowledge and advising the federal government.
Functioning in accordance with general policies determined by the Academy, the
Council has become the principal operating agency of both the National Academy of
Sciences and the National Academy of Engineering in providing services to the gov-
ernment, the public, and the scientific and engineering communities. The Council is
administered jointly by both the Academies and the Institute of Medicine. Dr. Bruce
M. Alberts and Dr. William A. Wulf are chairman and vice chairman, respectively, of
the National Research Council.
The Transportation Research Board is a unit of the National Research Council,
which serves the National Academy of Sciences and the National Academy of Engi-
neering. The Board's mission is to promote innovation and progress in transporta-
tion by stimulating and conducting research, facilitating the dissemination of
information, and encouraging the implementation of research results. The Board's
varied activities annually engage more than 4,000 engineers, scientists, and other
transportation researchers and practitioners from the public and private sectors and
academia, all of whom contribute their expertise in the public interest. The program
is supported by state transportation departments, federal agencies including the com-
ponent administrations of the U.S. Department of Transportation, and other organi-
zations and individuals interested in the development of transportation.

F ollowing the grounding of the Exxon Valdez in Prince William
Sound in March 1989, which resulted in the loss of more than
11 million gallons of crude oil into Alaskan waters, the U.S. Congress pro-
mulgated P.L. 101-380, the Oil Pollution Act of 1990 (OPA 90). The in-
tent of this law was to minimize oil spills through a variety of
mechanisms, including improved tanker design, changes in operations,
and other actions aimed at improving the capability to manage the
cleanup of oil spills should they occur. Section 4115 of OPA 90 mandated
changes in ship design and construction to prevent or minimize spillage
in accidents, establishing the double-hull standard for tankers that trans-
port oil in U.S. waters and call on U.S. ports. Following the passage of
OPA 90, changes in the international regulatory regime in the form of two
additions to MARPOL 73/78 mandated a worldwide transition to double-
hull vessels or their equivalent.1
Since 1990, then, the world tanker fleet has been changing to
double-hull construction. During the same time, however, a number of
alternative tanker designs have been proposed with the intent of pro-
viding performance equivalent to or better than double hulls. While both
OPA 90 and MARPOL regulations allow for the possibility of accepting
alternative designs, provided they are equivalent to or better than dou-
ble hulls in limiting oil outflow in case of a contact accident, the United
States Coast Guard (USCG) has not accepted any other design as equiv-
alent. IMO, on the other hand, has adopted two alternative designs as
1MARPOL 73/78 is the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships, developed by
the International Maritime Organization (IMO) in 1973 and modified by the Protocol of 1978. MARPOL 73/78,
Regulation I/13F, specifies hull configuration requirements for new tankers of 600 deadweight tons (DWT)
capacity or greater contracted after July 1, 1993; oil tankers of more than 5,000 DWT are required to have
double hulls or the equivalent. MARPOL 73/78, Regulation I/13G, addresses operational requirements to re-
duce oil outflow from single-hull vessels in the world tanker fleet and specifies a schedule for retrofitting or
retiring such vessels.
OCR for page R1
equivalent to the double hull. To date, no alternative designs have actu-
ally been built.
The Coast Guard Authorization Act of 1998 mandated the Secre-
tary of Transportation to commission the Marine Board of the National
Research Council's (NRC) Transportation Research Board (TRB) to de-
velop a rationally based approach and method for assessing the envi-
ronmental performance of alternative tanker designs relative to the
double-hull standard. (A copy of the relevant legislation is found in Ap-
pendix B.) Under the auspices of the Marine Board, NRC convened an
11-member Committee for Evaluating Double-Hull Tanker Design Alter-
natives with appropriate scientific and technical expertise in risk assess-
ment, tanker design, tanker operations, crashworthiness of ships, and
costs and damages (including environmental damages) related to oil
spills. Committee members had extensive experience in the day-to-day
operations of all relevant technologies, as well as in the overall analysis
of operations and risks and in systems management (see Study Commit-
tee Biographical Information at the end of this report).
The committee as a whole met five times between June 1999 and
January 2001, and subgroups met periodically throughout that period.
The early meetings included extensive presentations in sessions open to
the public, during which experts from government, academia, and in-
dustry described a variety of issues and views for the committee. (See
Appendix A for a listing of the presentations provided.) This final report
represents a synthesis of the information gathered by the committee,
which encompassed the data, analytical tools, and simulation methods
currently available for the development of a rationally based approach
for assessing the environmental performance of alternative tanker de-
signs relative to the double-hull standard.
During the course of this study, the committee and staff received nu-
merous briefings and presentations, consulted with experts, and sub-
contracted modeling work. The committee wishes to thank the many
individuals who thus contributed their time and effort to the project. In
particular, the committee would like to thank Deborah French and her
colleagues at Applied Science Associates, Inc., who conducted the spill
consequence modeling; Dagmar Etkin of Environmental Research Con-
sulting, who modeled the mechanical containment and recovery costs
and shoreline cleanup costs, and provided data on worldwide tanker oil
OCR for page R1
spills for 1973 through 2000; Alan Brown, who performed the modeling
of the structural damage and resulting outflow for different collision sce-
narios; and Kirsi Tikka, who carried out the modeling of the structural
damage and resulting outflow for different grounding scenarios. Appre-
ciation is also expressed to the many individuals and organizational rep-
resentatives who provided information, including B. John Garrick,
Garrick Consulting; William O. Gray, Gray Maritime Company; Ron
Heintz, Auke Bay Laboratory, National Marine Fisheries Service/National
Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NMFS/NOAA); Keith Michel,
Herbert Engineering; Frank Nicastro, Exxon Company, International (re-
tired); RADM Robert C. North, USCG; Jim Sartucci, Legislative Assistant,
Office of Senator Trent Lott; Professor Preben Pedersen, Technical Uni-
versity of Denmark; Stan Rice, Auke Bay Laboratory, NMFS/NOAA; CAPT
Edward K. Roe (USCG, retired), Marine Safety Systems, Inc.; RADM Joel
D. Sipes (USCG, retired), Marine Safety Systems, Inc.; Jaideep Sirkar,
USCG; and Wayne Willis, ICF Kaiser International. Representatives of fed-
eral and state agencies, as well as private companies, also provided in-
valuable assistance to the committee and the staff. Thanks are due
especially to the liaison representatives from USCG, H. Paul Cojeen and
David A. DuPont, who responded promptly and with a generous spirit
to the committee's many requests for information.
The study was performed under the overall supervision of
Stephen R. Godwin, Director of Studies and Information Services. Susan
Garbini served as project director through January 1999, and Beverly M.
Huey served as project director from February 1999 through the com-
pletion of the report. The committee also wishes to thank Pete Johnson
for his efforts in acquiring and organizing data and in drafting sections
of the report; and Suzanne Schneider, Associate Executive Director of
TRB, who managed the report review process. The report was edited by
Rona Briere and prepared for publication under the supervision of Nancy
A. Ackerman, Director of Reports and Editorial Services. Special thanks
go to Donna Henry-Rahamtalla for assistance with meeting arrangements
and correspondence with the committee and to Alisa Decatur for assis-
tance with word processing and production of the final manuscript.
The report was reviewed in draft form by individuals chosen for
their diverse perspectives and technical expertise, in accordance with
procedures approved by the NRC's Report Review Committee. The pur-
pose of this independent review is to provide candid and critical com-
ments that will assist the institution in making the published report as
sound as possible and to ensure that the report meets institutional
OCR for page R1
standards for objectivity, evidence, and responsiveness to the study
charge. The review comments and draft manuscript remain confidential
to protect the integrity of the deliberative process. The committee thanks

Trustees for Alaska, Anchorage; and Theodore Tomasi, ENTRIX, Inc., New
Castle, Delaware. Although these reviewers provided many constructive
comments and suggestions, they were not asked to endorse the report's
findings and conclusions, nor did they see the final draft before its release.
The review of this report was overseen by Robert A. Frosch, Har-
vard University, Cambridge, and Lester A. Hoel, University of Virginia,
Charlottesville. Appointed by NRC, they were responsible for making cer-
tain that an independent examination of this report was carried out in ac-
cordance with institutional procedures and that all review comments
were carefully considered. Responsibility for the final content of this re-
port rests solely with the authoring committee and the institution.

the vessel's draft to a safe and efficient operating level when not carrying cargo.
Central ballast tank. A tank (or tanks) designed to carry ballast and located in the
center of the vessel.
Collision. An event in which one vessel strikes another, usually causing some dam-
age to the vessel(s) and sometimes an oil spill. In this study, collisions are also de-
fined to include allisions, events in which a vessel strikes a fixed object such as a pier,
bridge, or other fixed structure.
Crashworthiness. A measure of the ability of a vessel to withstand damage follow-
ing a collision or grounding incident.
Crude carrier. A tank vessel designed to carry crude oil.
Deadweight tonnage. A measure of the weight of cargo (plus fuel, water, and sup-
plies) a vessel can carry.
Domestic trade. Transportation of goods from one port or location in the United
States to another.
Draft. The vertical distance between a vessel's waterline and baseline.
Grounding. An event in which a vessel strikes a fixed object, such as a rock or
wreck, on the bottom of the sea or waterway, or the seafloor itself.
Mid-deck. A tank vessel design with a watertight deck located about midway be-
tween the vessel's upper deck and bottom so that if the vessel is holed below this
deck, hydrostatic pressure will prevent (or minimize) oil spills.
Natural resource damage. A measure of harm done to resources in the natural en-
vironment following an oil spill.
Oil slick. The layer of oil floating on a body of water following an oil spill, which
usually spreads in area and diminishes in thickness with time.
Oil transport and fate. The migration of a quantity of oil spilled from the initial spill
location (transport) and its ultimate effect on the environment or ecosystem.
Outflow. The amount of oil that escapes into the surrounding environment from a
tank vessel after a collision or grounding.
Plastic deformation. The phenomenon of metal stretching without breaking when
subjected to a force such as that resulting from a vessel collision or grounding. The
metal will break (or fracture) when the force becomes great enough.
Product carrier. A tank vessel designed to carry refined petroleum products, such
as fuel oil or gasoline.
Response cost. The cost associated with responding to an oil spill, usually includ-
ing the cost of mobilizing people and equipment, conducting cleanup operations,
and disposing of spilled oil and waste.
Sheen. A very thin oil slick characterized by being just thick enough to have a visi-
ble "sheen" when observed by the naked eye.
OCR for page R1
Stability. The measure of a vessel's ability to float in an upright orientation.
Structural damage. The physical damage sustained by a metal structure after being
struck during an event such as a collision or grounding.

property owners.
Underpressure system. A tank vessel design that utilizes a vacuum system in cargo
tanks to prevent or minimize oil spills if the tanks are ruptured in a collision or
U.S. flag vessels. Vessels registered under the jurisdiction of the United States and
thus subject to U.S. laws and regulations and entitled to fly the U.S. flag.
U.S. waters. As defined in OPA 90, waters subject to the jurisdiction of the United
States, including the Exclusive Economic Zone.

Lane of I-43 southbound re-opened at Brown Deer Road
BAYSIDE - Crews have re-opened one lane after the full closure of all southbound lanes of I-43 after a crash near Brown Deer Road.
The North Shore Fire Department initially tweeted that a five-vehicle crash occurred there at about 8:30 a.m. Tuesday morning. The Sheriff's Department later told Newsradio 620 WTMJ that three vehicles were involved with the crash.
One person was hurt with what a sheriff's spokesperson described as a minor injury. They refused medical treatment.
Two ambulances and two fire trucks arrived at the scene to assist with anyone who may have been injured.
Sheriff's deputies were directing traffic off at Brown Deer Road until the re-opened lane.
There was no initial word on the cause of the crash.
Authorities estimated about an hour before the crash scene would be cleared.

December 23, 2002, Chandigarh, India |
SCHOOL BUZZ Bhatnagar International School, Vasant Kunj, organised its annual horse show. The Lt-Governor of Delhi, Mr Vijai Kapoor, attended the show. The riders from ages four to 16 displayed determination and unwavering competence. From plain racing to aerobics on horsebacks, the performance left the audience thrilled and exhilarated. The show began with the welcome address and taking the lead were a contingent of boys and girls marching with flags in hand. The girls proudly trotting on the horsebacks matching steps with their male counterparts followed this event. The students also presented events like figure formation, circle formation, criss-crossing and going zigzag. Hurdles as high as 4.5 feet were crossed with elan. But what was clearly the highlight of the day was Bharatanatyam being performed on horseback. Among those present on the occasion were All India Congress Committee member, Bansi Lal Mehta, Chairman, Delhi Tourism and Transport Development Corporation, Romesh Shabharwal and Counsellor, Russian Embassy Federation, Alexander N Paltcher.
An open window to the parents The junior wing of DPS, Mathura Road, organised Open Day, an annual feature, which provides an open window to the parents, the teachers and the students working together. The Open Day is a gallery of not just the functioning of the school, but has also highlighted some present day woes that have become a matter of concern. This year the theme of the show was, Earth- The Living Planet. The cultural programme included a skit and dances on the same theme. The students of Ibtida Shiksha Kendra School for the underprivileged, run by the school also presented a dance, Prem Shakti. The Delhi Police Commissioner, Mr R. S. Gupta was the Chief Guest at the function.

Techniques of vermi composting were also displayed to the audience. |
PRINCIPALSPEAK As the year draws to a close, a quick flash back at the events makes us shudder. It has been a time when terrorists played death-games with hostages, troops were mobilised, human lives went up in flames, banks trembled, scams shook the nation, corruption gripped it and governments appeared paralysed. Value systems were seen to splinter and crash, and the lifeboats of family, religious institutions and state were hurtled about. Should we despair as we look at the darkening clouds or should we smile because we know that the light within us can dispel this darkness? As long as the heart of man is in the right place, we know all is right with the world. The heart of the man is the church, the mosque and the temple. It is in the spiritual sanctum of the heart that God resides and provides us with the solutions to our problems. It is here that the true morality lies and the true growth takes place. External growth is always fraught with struggle and hostility as it involves a clash of ideas and interests. The real growth is the inner growth - where we do not use achievement of power and material wealth as yardsticks of growth but ask ourselves. How much have I grown in love, kindness and compassion? The pursuit of money and power leads to strife and corruption, whereas inner growth brings happiness and a sense of fulfilment. The question that arises is: Can individual growth weed out hatred, fear and corruption from the world? The answer is yes. Individuals are the atoms that hold tremendous power within them and can serve as agents of change. After all a nation comprises of individuals. Thus, individuals with a high sense of morality and social responsibility can work miracles. This calls for honesty and integrity. We need to live up to a simple motto: Life is like a field of newly fallen snow; where I choose to walk, every step will show. Integrity means having a personal standard of morality and ethics that does not sell out and that is relative to the situation in hand. Integrity is an inner standard for judging your behaviour. It is the bottom line in every area of society. And it is something that we must demand of ourselves. A life of principles is not succumbing to lures of easy morality. It is standing by your convictions ever in the face of personal pressure, being honest about who you really are and giving everyone his due. A society becomes good or bad, based in the ethical value of individuals. What give society its strength is ethical values. We must remember that power is illusory and money brings only limited happiness. The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched. They must be felt with the heart, said Helen Keller. Thus money is not pay off for every kind of work. People with character integrity and right value are not for sale. At the end of the year, let us resolve to bring in a positive change in the society by changing ourselves. Let us resolve to simplify our lifestyle and be honest to ourselves and to others. This way we can root out the evils from the society. Christmas season makes it the right time to set begin - for Christmas is not just about Santa and gifts it is a time for sharing, loving, forgiving and ushering in the good. Madhu Chandra, Principal, Birla Vidya Niketan |

Cockell, Charles and Blaustein, Andrew R. eds. (2001). Ecosystems, evolution and ultraviolet radiation. New York, USA: Springer.
URL: | http://www.springer.com/dal/home?SGWID=1-102-22-20... |
Google Scholar: | Look up in Google Scholar |
This book discusses UV radiation, its effects on ecosystems and the likely evolutionary consequences of changed UV radiation environments, past, present and future. The first two chapters examine the history of the UV radiation climate of earth and the factors that determine organismal and ecosystem exposure. Their purpose is to give the reader a physical perspective on UV radiation and an understanding of the constantly changing UV environment that ecosystems are exposed to over time. Variations in the UV radiation environment occur at the local level (such as boundary layer and plant canopy effects) through to global-scale changes (such as alterations in the column abundance of UV-B protecting ozone). UV radiation regimes also vary over temporal scales. These alterations occur on time scales of seconds (the movement of clouds and plant canopies) to literally billions of years (gross long-term changes in the composition of the Earth's atmosphere). In the chapters that follow five specific biological and ecological topics in photobiology are considered. They are effects of UV radiation on amphibians, plants, corals, aquatic microbial ecosystems and Antarctic ecosystems that are exposed to the anthropogenically generated ozone 'hole'. These chapters consider UV radiation effects at a diversity of levels from the biochemical to the community. Their purpose is to provide the reader with our current understanding of the ecological effects of UV radiation, the areas where questions still remain and to provide a perspective from which the reader can better understand questions in evolutionary photobiology. The final chapter investigates the biological consequences of altered extraterrestrial ultraviolet fluxes, which are quite different from those experienced on the Earth. Our knowledge of the role of UV radiation in shaping ecologies and evolutionary change is still in its infancy. This book brings together a number of authors with the aim of helping to consolidate a better understanding of this interesting area of photobiology.

Off The Top
Trent Green, MIA ľ Likely still among the QBs available in your league, Green makes the most sense for the coming weeks if your hurting a la Eli Manning or Jon Kitna (I know he played again in that game, but Iĺd wait to see how he rebounds from the concussion this week). Greenĺs next four weeks are @NYJ, OAK, @HOU and @CLE ľ not bad if youĺre searching for a modestly reliable #2 or desperate #1.
Digging Deeper
Derek Anderson, CLE ľ Can we chalk up Andersonĺs ridiculous performance to Cincinnatiĺs defense, or can there be more to this crazy thing than meets the eye? Maybe the Oregon State product gained some much-needed confidence when Romeo ousted Charlie Frye, or maybe he just finally clicked with his talented young receivers (and Joe Jurevicius). Either way, the outing canĺt be ignored, and he faces the Raiders next week in Oakland in what could morph into another shootout. At 6ĺ6ö/229, Anderson has a strong arm and the size to make pretty much every throw on the field. The bad news? Heĺs still not the most accurate guy in the world and heĺs got the Ravens and the Patriots in the two weeks following the trip to Oakland.
Scouring The Barrel
Kellen Clemens, NYJ ľ I canĺt tell you how the Pennington situation is going to pan out, but Clemens looked sharp in the final quarter versus the Ravens. On the bright side, the next few weeks feature a few tolerable matchups: Miami, Buffalo, the Giants and Philly. But realistically, he only someone to stow away if you believe Penningtonĺs finished leading the Green Machine and you have lots of confidence in the offense.
Daunte Culpepper, OAK ľ I guess Lane Kiffin figured starting Josh McCown, even at less than 100 percent, was better than breaking out Culpepper against one of the leagueĺs top secondaries. Sure, the Raiders could have pulled it out even with McCown, but I think Culpepper wouldĺve put Ĺem over the top. Josh McCown, OAK ľ Struggled against Denver with just 73 yards passing and three INTs. Neither he nor Culpepper are locks, but with Cleveland and Miami on the docket the next two weeks one might be worth a start as a #2. Jake Delhomme, CAR ľ Jakeĺs turned in two solid performances in a row, heĺs clicking with Steve Smith in a big way, and heĺs got decent matchups in the coming weeks. Tarvaris Jackson, MIN ľ My apologies to anyone who started Jackson on a lark against the Lions last week. With all those turnovers, heĺs just not an option at this point. Matt Schaub, HOU ľ Heĺs doing about what fantasy owners who drafted him expected, and heĺs got some decent matchups upcoming, including a possible shootout with Indy in Week 3. Brady Quinn, CLE ľ After Andersonĺs five-TD monkey wrench, heĺll continue to be shelved. Jared Lorenzen, NYG ľ Talk about no confidence in your fat backup QB ľ Coughlin went with a wounded Eli Manning instead of giving the kid a shot. Anyone else fed up with these head coaches who wait until seconds before game time to announce their starter?
Running Backs
Jamal Lewis, CLE ľ Okay, you know folks dropped him after his less-than-stellar performance in Week 1, only to kick themselves repeatedly most of Sunday evening for doing so. I told everybody in my leagues this year that I would not draft Jamal Lewis, regardless of his apparent value, and this blanket statement might cost me in the long run. At any rate, Lewis is a guy who should be owned in all leagues based on the Cincy game alone.
Kevin Jones, DET ľ Did you forget about this guy? The Lions are 2-0 and they donĺt have a heck of a lot of confidence in Tatum Bell, which means theyĺll jump at the chance to get Jones on the field as soon as possible even though heĺs listed as day-to-day. Heĺs a brilliant receiver, deadly in the flats, and was once a highly-touted fantasy back. He posted about 17 fantasy PPG last year in PPR leagues during the games he played, so Iĺd take a chance on him. He also might be someone to target in a multi-player deals because heĺs sneaky good and at this point heĺs still under the radar of many fantasy owners.
Mewelde Moore, MIN ľ With Chester Taylor injured, this versatile back ran for 50 yards on just 6 carries, an 8.3 average. I donĺt know what the status of Taylorĺs bruised hip is just yet, but hip injuries are usually tough for running backs that need to shift their weight constantly during cuts and utilize their lower body to get those extra yards. Iĺm no doctor, but with Moore running well, do you need to force Taylor back into action? Stay tuned to the injury report and donĺt hesitate to use Moore against Kansas City if all the starters are taken and you could benefit from a few extra points in a PPR league.
Najeh Davenport, PIT ľ The Steelers offense has been sharp, and as the third down back, heĺll get some touches against the 49ers. Heĺs a decent pass receiver in the flats and can be dangerous near the goal line. But thatĺs a reach because Willie Parkerĺs been solid inside the 20s. At any rate, Davenport is a big body you could stow away on your bench and should anything happen to Parker, he could blow up.
DeShawn Wynn, GB ľ Based on his prototypical size and downhill running style, Wynn could be the Packersĺ goal line back for years to come. But he lacks the elusive acceleration that fantasy backs need to blow up as a regular starter. While he played well in garbage time versus the Giants and reached the end zone twice, Iĺm not jumping on the bandwagon because heĺs still only a very marginal #3 or #4 fantasy back with little upside. Sundayĺs fantasy totals will most likely be the best of his career, unless the Packers sustain more injuries to their RBs and both Morency and Jackson are inactive. Plus, he might have some trouble holding on to Favreĺs bullet passes and has never established himself as a reliable receiver out of the backfield.
LaMont Jordan, OAK ľ Jordan did not disappoint in the Denver game, although it wouldĺve be nice if he found the end zone. Through two games, heĺs got 229 rushing yards and 89 receiving yards, which means heĺs on pace for over 2,500 total yards. While I donĺt believe thatĺs going to happen, he might threaten the 2,000 total yard mark in Ĺ07. Heĺs got an excellent matchup coming up versus the Browns, and while heĺs not available on too many waiver wires, if you picked him up last week (when you might have had the opportunity in some shallow leagues) heĺs a great play right about now. Chris Brown, TEN ľ LenDale White got three more caries and a score, so Brown gets demoted a few spots. I think weĺre probably going to see a RBBC in Tennessee for most of the season, making neither of these guys a great play from week to week. Derrick Ward, NYG ľ Another good week from this guy, and he might still be available in some formats. Grab him. Adrian Peterson, CHI ľ Just two carries for 9 yards Sunday, but 3/23 receiving. Just keep an eye on Cedric Benson and the Bears depth chart ľ I really think things could change by midseason. Jesse Chatman, MIA ľ He snagged a few more points on just three carries against Dallas (27 yards), but youĺll have to wait and see if Ronnie Brown breaks out in the coming games. If he doesnĺt, Cam might make the switch. Sammy Morris, NE ľ Scored a late TD and had 51 yards on 10 carries. You couldĺve done a lot worse.
Wide Receivers/Tight Ends
WR Derrick Mason, BAL ľ Thereĺs a chance heĺs available in smaller leagues, and heĺs been getting most of the looks in Baltimore. It really doesnĺt matter how old this guy is ľ heĺs always going to be one of my favorite fantasy receivers of all time because of his consistency racking up catches in PPR leagues. Iĺm probably not going to come up with anything that hasnĺt been said about the Mason/McNair connection over the years, but even without his Air, heĺll do well on an offense thatĺs holding out for a hero other than Willis McCheeselegs and Todd Heap.
WR Bobby Engram, SEA ľ Hold on ľ this guyĺs still alive? Apparently so, because heĺs turned in two respectable weeks in a row and the Seahawks schedule only gets better the next couple, with Cincinnati and San Francisco coming up. Engram rarely drops passes, runs smooth, solid patterns and although heĺs 34, heĺs a tough competitor with some fantasy value against young secondaries. Heĺs in his 12th season with just his second team, which says to me that heĺs reliable and quarterbacks still believe in him.
WR Dwayne Bowe, KC ľ Heĺs young and heĺs still a bit raw, but heĺs matured well for a rookie and heĺs one of very few healthy receivers in KC. D-Bowe played well in preseason and turned a lot of heads with his athleticism and body control. He wonĺt be the home run hitter KC needs to extend the field, but heĺll be a reliable possession receiver on a team that desperately needs one. Itĺs obvious heĺs being targeted in the red zone, too, because he had a nice TD catch last week against Chicago on 1st and 10 from the 16 and another TD called back on a cool flea flicker after an illegal shift penalty.
WR Brandon Stokley, DEN ľ Stokley is now three years removed from his magical 2004 fantasy season as the Colts slot receiver, when he tallied 68/1077/10, a 15.8 YPC and notched 53 first downs. Heĺll never have that kind of value again, but could emerge as a sneaky threat on an offense full of big, strong targets. Heĺs no more than a matchup-dependent #3 WR play, but if youĺre struggling to find answers at that spot, heĺs worth a roster spot.
TE Eric Johnson, NO ľ Ignored in lots of drafts, Johnson is the 10th-best fantasy TE at this point and a great backup to have in any format. Iĺm not convinced heĺll ever be as good as some thought. He can make lots of catches (82/825/2 for San Fran in ĺ04) although he isnĺt targeted very often in the red zone and only has 7 career TDs. But if youĺre having production problems in a PPR league from the TE slot, you shouldnĺt look too much further than the big Johnson.
WR Sam Hurd, DAL ľ Hurd is another undrafted young receiver, but heĺs also worth watching. Patrick Crayton hurt his pinky early on in the Miami game and finished with zero catches, although he did return punts. Stay tuned to the injury report because Cowboys receivers are dropping like flies and Hurd could easily get some unanticipated value in the coming weeks.
WR Dennis Northcutt, JAC ľ I hate the Jaguars. Iĺm getting murdered with Maurice Jones-Drew in my lineup, Jack Del Rio is my least favorite former Cowboy and the word on the street is that David Garrard seems to have a new favorite target every five minutes ľ things not conducive to fun-tastic fantasy play. Northcutt is a former speedster out of Arizona who has struggled his entire career to find the end zone. Iĺm not a big fan of any Jags receiver at this point, but the aging, diminutive Northcutt has played well out of the slot and already has 9/132/0 on the season.
WR Joe Jurevicius, CLE ľ Itĺs the same story with this freakinĺ dude every year. Fantasy owners give up on him, he doesnĺt get drafted, and then he blows up for a huge game somewhere in the mix. While I appreciate any two-TD performance, itĺs really difficult to know when Jurevicius is going to go off. Heĺs white, slow and unreliable but if you like taking huge risks and reaping the unexpected rewards, heĺs your guy.
TE Donald Lee, GB ľ You remember how much Favre used to love Bubba Franks? Donald Lee is the new Bubba Franks, even though the old Bubba Franks is still playing. Confused? Okay ľ let his totals from the first two weeks clear things up: 8/62/1 ľ thatĺs production I wouldnĺt mind backing up my #1 TE.
WR Glenn Holt, CIN ľ While itĺs tough to recommend an undrafted second-year receiver who caught just one pass in 11 games last year and probably wonĺt last the 2007 season as the #3 because of Tab Perry and the now-suspended Chris Henry, Holt had a nice game (and a TD catch) in relief of an injured Perry on Sunday. Again, the game was a significant fantasy anomaly, but Holt is someone to keep an eye on. His last name sure shows some potential.
WR Brandon Marshall, DEN ľ I picked up Marshall after his nice Week 1 game that included a TD, and a second stable performance by the UCF product helped give me a win in Week 2. He also missed out on a second TD against Oakland due to an offensive interference penalty called on him early in the fourth quarter and loss another good catch to a holding penalty. One of my better calls this week; homeboy should continue to be active in the Denver offense. WR James Jones, GB ľ Even after a modest 4/29/0 outing in Week 1, I went out on a limb and recommended this guy right off the top for Week 2, and he responded with an improvement ľ 4/75/0. If Jennings stays out, look for that trend to continue, because Brett seems to like him. WR Drew Carter, CAR ľ Yep, this week was all Steve Smith. No Drew for you. WR Antwaan Randle-El, WAS ľ He was cramping up a bit versus Philly and didnĺt reach paydirt ľ but he did grab 4 balls for 44 yards. WR Jacoby Jones, HOU ľ Jacoby burned me something awful with his Sunday goose egg, but if Andre Johnsonĺs knee is messed up, he might get his opportunity. So far, it looks like just a PCL strain, but stay tuned. WR Shaun McDonald, DET ľ 7/71/0ůmaybe old McDonald is for real, after all. TE Marcedes Lewis, JAC ľ Lewis started off well on Sunday with 2/39 in the opening quarter, but soon disappeared in what may have been the worst fantasy game weĺll see all season.
LB Paris Lenon, DET ľ Two weeks and 22 tackles. Get him on your team and play him with confidence. The defense isnĺt great but Lenon ľ a veteran linebacker who spent much of his career as a backup with Green Bay ľ seems to be making all the plays.
DB Antoine Winfield, MIN ľ Two huge games and this guyĺs still available in one of my IDP leagues. But donĺt expect Antoine to be out there in too many, if at all, especially after this week, when he recovered a fumble, tallied 9 total tackles, and a PD. In week 1, he returned a pick for a TD and had a handful of tackles and a PD. Heĺs a good tackler, a playmaker and a solid DB option on a defense that makes good things happen.
LB Napoleon Harris, KC ľ While Donnie Edwards was the obvious choice within the Chiefs linebacking corps on fantasy draft day, this former Raider has put together two solid games. Last week, he went nuts, collecting 12 total tackles, a sack, an INT and a pass defensed.
DB Marlon McCree, SD ľ McRee followed up his big first week with 9 tackles in Week 2. Heĺs a respectable IDP selection in a secondary without a true standout. Heĺs not an IDP stud, but heĺs usually around the action and heĺs a decent tackler. And the defense seems to be relying more heavily on its secondary this season than it did last season, when the front seven seemed to make all the stops. Heĺs worth serious consideration in deeper IDP leagues.
DB Anthony Henry, DAL ľ Henry has a solid season last year with 81 tackles, 2 INTs and 21 passes defensed. So far this year, heĺs been all over opposing QBs, making delicious reads that end up in those snazzy INTs or PDs. And heĺs facing Rex Grossman next week. Need I say more?
LB Chad Greenway, MIN ľ A second-year LB out of Iowa, Greenway was a 2006 first-round pick but missed his entire rookie season with a torn ACL. Now heĺs starting at weak side linebacker and his size and athleticism have served him well in his first two games. Heĺs kind of a sleeper. But heĺs already racked up 17 tackles and a forced fumble, and I have a feeling weĺll be hearing a lot of his name this season.
LB Mike Vrabel ľ ôVrabes,ö as heĺs called by his teammates, had five tackles and a sack versus San Diego ľ typical numbers from a tough competitor. LB Landon Johnson, CIN ľ He didnĺt get a lot of work, largely because all the action was happening about 20+ yards downfield from the linebackers. Donĺt forget about him; heĺs a gamer. DB Jermaine Phillips, TB ľ Another solid week for Jermaine ľ 7 tackles and a PD. Nice. LB Rocky McIntosh WAS ľ You heard it here first, folks. You got to love a linebackler named Rocky, and this guyĺs certainly no paper champion. He looked like an animal for the second straight week, recording 8 solos, an assist and a sack in the Redskins win over Philly Monday night. If you had the foresight to grab him last week or heĺs still available, Iĺd put him in your IDP lineup every week. DB Jim Leonhard, BUF ľ Howĺs 7 tackles, an INT and a PD for an IDP sleeper call on a 5ĺ8ö, 185-pound pipsqueak? I nailed this one. DL Mike Patterson, PHI ľ Just two tackles against the Skins, but he faces Detroit this week. Yum. Lions quarterbacks can be quite tasty. DL Jarvis Green, NE ľ Green was dinged up and almost didnĺt play, recording just one tackle in the Sunday night rout.

Stanley see off Bantams
Accrington moved into fifth place with a comfortable 3-0 victory over struggling Bradford.
James Hanson had a first-minute chance for the Bantams but he fired over the crossbar and, after that, it was all Stanley.
The promotion-chasing Reds opened the scoring in the ninth minute thanks to a wonder goal from midfielder Luke Joyce. He controlled the ball on the edge of the area, got the better of defender Jon Worthington and curled his effort into the top corner of the net for his first goal in over a year.
Andy Procter doubled the advantage on 16 minutes when Terry Gornell passed to the captain on the edge of the box, and he unleashed a fierce shot to beat keeper Lenny Pidgeley. Stanley came close to a third when Sean McConville set up the in-rushing Ian Craney on the edge of the area but he fired inches wide.
The third goal came on the stroke of half-time when a Jimmy Ryan throw was flicked on at the near post by the Bantams defence, and it was an easy finish for McConville to tap in at the far post for his 13th league goal of the season.
Stanley face Shrewsbury on Monday and victory at the New Meadow will mean the Reds will challenge for automatic promotion while Bradford are left battling against the drop.

The F-16s are normally used for chase and support missions, just as the F-101s were used during the OXCART program. As with the F-101s, they also may be used for proficiency flights and occasional range patrol/intercept missions. I once asked OXCART pilot Frank Murray if he ever encountered any NASA aircraft near Area 51. He told me about the time he used an F-101 to intercept a NASA F-104 that was making simulated X-15 approaches to Delamar Dry Lake. Similarly, I asked NASA pilot Bill Dana if he had any Area 51 stories, and he told me about the time he was intercepted by an F-101 while practicing X-15 approaches in his F-104 at Delamar Dry Lake. The lakebed was within the YULETIDE Special Operations Area (later renamed DREAMLAND). I would expect to see an F-16 used to intercept air traffic that strays too close to the now much smaller DREAMLAND airspace (known as "The Box"), but I have also seen one used when visitors were climbing Tikaboo Peak. On June 24, 2009, I was with a film crew that started climbing Tikaboo around sunrise. When we were about halfway up the mountain, a two-seat F-16 approached from behind us, coming up Badger Vally at low altitude. At first, I thought it was just passing through from Nellis, but the pilot circled the peak right over our heads. He then dove into Tikaboo Valley and repeated his original approach before climbing steeply. For the next 15 minutes of so, the F-16 pilot gave us an aerobatic demonstration that included loops, rolls, and low passes. Each maneuver was repeated several times, as if to give the cameraman sufficient opportunity to get a good shot. After the first five minutes of this display, one of the MH-60G helicopters arrived. The chopper first appeared as it made a dramatic climb from behind the summit of the mountain before diving back down into Tikaboo Valley. It then circled the peak and hovered over us briefly before repeating the original maneuver several times, again almost as if performing for the cameras. I can almost understand a visit from the helicopter, even though Tikaboo Peak is 26 miles from Groom Lake, but I can't imagine anything that would justify sending the F-16. Hopefully, the pilot was already up for a proficiency flight and was not scrambled just for us. There was a second crewman in the back seat. Perhaps he had a camera, too.
