The field of geology is studded by a lot of notable names that anyone would recognize in a heartbeat. One great name though that isn't heard of very often is that of James Dwight Dana's. During his time, he made massive contributions to the field of geology, mineralogy, volcanology, and zoology. He was one of the people who pioneered the study of mountain-building, the origin and structures of all the continents and oceans, and volcanic activity. Indeed, he was a man that proved to be relentless in his desire to understand the earth and he was one of the reasons why the modern world knows so much about the earth and how it came to be. Indeed, he was a man that did wonderful work and one name that deserves to be remembered and lauded.
Early life
James Dwight Dana was born in Utica, NY, way back on February 12, 1813. His parents were Harriet Dwight and James Dana who worked as a merchant. Through his mother's side of the family, he was related to the Dwight Family of New England who were missionaries and educators. Some of his relatives included Henry Otis Dwight and Harrison Gray Otis Dwight. James Dwight showed an interest in science at a very young age and this interest was fostered by one of his teachers in Utica high school. The teacher was fay Edgerton and she had a big role towards making sure that young James developed his interest in science. In the year 1830, he graduated high school and enrolled in in Yale College where he got the chance to study under the elder Benjamin Silliman. He graduated from Yale College three years after in the 1833 and spent the next two years of his life working as a teacher to midshipmen in the navy to whom to taught math to. He got the chance to sail to the Mediterranean while he was teaching.
His career
In the years 1836 and 1837, James Dwight Dana took on a job as assistant to Benjamin Silliman who was a professor at Yale and headed the chemical department. Four years after his assistant post, he moved on to become a mineralogist and a geologist for the US Exploring Expedition which was headed by Capt. Charles Wilkins. The expedition took him all the way to the Pacific Ocean where he found enough material to keep him occupied for the next 13 years of his life. The expedition ended in 1942 and he had notebooks filled with sketches, maps, diagrams, and views of Castle Craggs and well as Mount Shasta. In the year 1849, his sketch of Mounts Shasta was engraved and published in the American Journal of Science an Arts- a publication spearheaded by Silliman in the early 1800s. The publication also published a rather lengthy article based on Dana's geological notes from 1841. The article talked about rocks, minerals, and the geology of the Shasta region using scientific terms. The year 1844 was an exciting year for James Dwight Dana because not only did he become a resident of New Haven but it was also the year he got married to Henrietta Frances Silliman- she was the daughter of Benjamin Silliman.
In the year 1850, he was given a big honor and was appointed as the successor to his father-in-law and became a Silliman Professor of Natural History and Geology in Yale. Dana held on to this teaching spot until 1892. But teaching wasn't all he did during those years because in 1846, he joined the American Journal of Science and Arts and took on the role as joint editor. During the later years of his life though, he moved on to become chief editor but he was also a contributor and published works on the subject of geology and mineralogy.
Notable works
It has to be said that he managed to accomplish a lot but he had a couple of contributions that really stood out. For instance, his 1849 publication of Mount Shasta was in response to the gold rush in California. After all, he was the pre-eminent geologist in the US during his life and he really was just one of the very few observers who had knowledge of the terrain in northern CA. Dana was the guy who wrote that given the geography and geology of the area, it was very likely that gold could be found in northern CA.
James Dwight Dana was also responsible for giving the world information about the volcanic landscape and activity in Hawaii. It was in the years 1880 and 1881 that he went on the first geological study of volcanoes in Hawaii and he was the same guy who theorized that the chain of volcanoes in the area consisted of two strands known as the "loa" and the "kea" strands. That wasn't his first and last visit though because in 1890, he went with C.E. Dutton, a fellow geologist, and again published a manuscript about the island that was the most detailed study anyone had ever seen at that time. For decades, his manuscript was the definitive source for Hawaii's volcanoes.
Dana was a prolific writer but some of his best works are his System of Mineralogy (1837), Manual of Geology (1863), and his manual of Mineralogy (1848). He also had a very interesting manuscripts published which were entitled Science and the Bible which he wrote in an effort to reconcile science with some biblical texts. Not only did his works get a lot of attention and used in schools but he also received a lot of awards like the Copley Medal in 1877 from the Royal Society, the Wollaston medal in 1874 from the Geological Society of London, and the Clarke medal in 1882 from the Royal Society of New South Wales.
The final journey
James Dwight Dana died on April 14, 1895. He had a son named Edward Salisbury Dana who was also a well-known and brilliant mineralogist during the years 1849-1935.

This club is still worth its weight out on the course. This was my first fairway metal back in the day. I still remember how it felt to hit. Pure joy. This club was the Bell of the Ball back in her day, and can still stack up well against some of the newer clubs to the market. It has a great feel, good distance, and a ton of forgiveness. If you are broke and looking for a fairway metal, meet the trimetal. You won't be disappointed. Enjoy
Pleasure buying this club. It was delivered in a timely manner and was in good condition. Will shop at globalgolf.com again.
Purchased an Orlimar 3 wood. Going back in time to a proven technology. Club was in fantastic condition. Better than I expected.
Powerful older 3/5 wood. Hits a loooong way!! It takes some-getting-used-to!!!! Shallow face combined with loft require accurate strike or you'll dig deep hitting fat shots!!!! so..... Practice/learn to hit before taking to your next tourney for sure!!!!

Mathematics and Statistics (BA, BSc)
Bachelor of Arts (BA), Bachelor of Science (BSc)Offered by:
Department of Mathematics & Statistics, Faculty of Arts & Science
Why study Mathematics and Statistics?
Mathematics is a language that answers real-world questions in science and engineering. Statistics is the science of information. Studying them together gives you a set of tools which will allow you to explore the meaning behind the numbers in a range of practical applications.
This program is designed for students who wish to enter the job market right after graduation. As a Mathematics and Statistics student, you'll uncover the mathematical structure of random systems such as the economy and the stock market, health and survival, and weather forecasting. You will build a solid foundation in linear algebra, calculus, probability and number theory, and learn to use professional software tools for mathematics and data analysis applications.
If you choose the Joint Major with Computer Applications, you'll complement your mathematics knowledge with computer science topics such as modelling and symbolic computation. It's also common for Mathematics and Statistics students to add a minor in a different field of their choice.
After you graduate with a Major in Mathematics and Statistics, you will have the knowledge and skills required to apply mathematics and statistics in professional careers in business, industry or government agencies.
Program Details
A Bachelor of Arts or Science degree takes a minimum of three or four years (90 – 120 credits) of full-time study, depending on your academic background.
- Major in Mathematics and Statistics (42 credits)
- Joint Major in Mathematics and Statistics and Computer Applications (78 credits)
- Minor in Mathematics and Statistics (24 credits)
About the Major
The Major in Mathematics & Statistics is a 42-credit program with a common core of 36 credits. It is aimed at students who would like to have a good background in the mathematical sciences, but whose goals are to enter the job market upon graduation, rather than to pursue graduate studies. The focus of the Major is on the applicable nature of the mathematical sciences as tools for solving, and as ways of thinking about, a wide range of problems. Certain selected topics will be covered in each course accompanied by the use of appropriate software applications.

Carsyn Discovers Her Love For Makeup
Well, I knew if Carsyn were anything like her Momma, she would be a girly-girl. Looks like, she is, haha! For a good while now she has really been watching me put on my make-up. She always wants me to put some on her too, of course! Now, I'm not gonna let my three year-old walk around like she's on an episode of Toddlers and Tiaras, so she'd just get a teeny-tiny bit of blush and lip gloss.
For Valentine's Day her Meme gave her a special kit of make-up, just for her. Do you think she loves it? Well, on a scale from one to ten…she's at about a 14!!
Of course she didn't want my help putting it on, ha! She did it all by herself and was SO proud of the finished product! Here's what she looked like going out the door Friday morning…

Janice Weston came into affluence from the day she was born. She attended Manchester University. From there, she went to work as a lawyer with London, England's acclaimed Herbert Oppenheimer, Nathan & Vandyke firm. There she met both her lovers: her future husband, Tony Weston, a property developer, a year her senior, and Heinz Isner, 40 years her senior, chairman of the Mettoy Company that manufactured children's Corgi toy cars. Janice was Mettoy's legal advisor. (It must be noted when Janice first met Tony Weston, he was married with two children.)
In 1975, Isner's wife died. He soon took up with Janice, inviting her to the theatre, ballet and his Chelsea flat. Apparently he had even proposed to her, but Janice declined. They continued to see each other until Isner died in July 1977. Through his will she received paintings, furniture, shares and money totalling £140,000. Five years later, in 1982, she married Tony Weston, at age 35 (by this time, he was divorced). They bought a country mansion in Northamptonshire, which they converted into apartments, taking one for them. Thirty-nine days after her wedding, she made out her will. Her estate was valued at £300,000. £100,000 was to go to her sister; £10,000 to her mother, the income of the rest was to go to Tony. The capital after her death was to be shared between her two stepchildren and her nieces and nephews. On the weekend she died, 10th/11th September 1983, Tony was away on business in France. Janice was at home, working. At 5pm on Saturday, the 10th, a colleague noticed her at the office. She was still there when he left a short while later. Sometime in the evening, she returned to her flat where she had a snack. Uncharacteristically, she didn't clean up after the meal. When she left -- which seemed to be in a hurry -- she didn't take her purse, but did take her wallet containing £37. A meal half eaten was also left on the table. The weather was not pleasant that night and, again, it is not known why she went out or where she was going. Her body was discovered Sunday, September 11th at 9am by a cyclist. She had been thrown into a ditch along the A1. The body was badly beaten, especially on the back of the head. It was later determined she had been killed by a car jack found in a nearby field. When the workaholic Janice failed to appear at work on Monday, colleagues called her sister who contacted police. It was she who identified the body as Janice Weston. Tony returned from France later that same day. Within 24 hours, a policeman spotted Janice's car, an Alfa Romeo, parked in Camden Square, London, three miles from her apartment. The interior was smeared with blood, but contained no fingerprints.
An owner of a car-spares shop in Royston, Hertfordshire, called police with the news that he had bought spare car plates from a man 25-35 years of age. The plates belonged to Janice Weston. However, no one has ever found the man. The morning she died, Janice had picked up a spare tyre that had just been repaired. Before leaving for France, Tony had had a puncture. The newly repaired tyre went into the boot of Janice's car; the old spare was on her rear wheel. When police found the car, the newly repaired tyre was back on the car and the spare was missing. Six witnesses had seen a man changing her tyre the night she died.
Tony was held and questioned in December 1983. After 55 hours of police questioning his lawyers went to the High Court where they obtained an order for his release. He was eventually cleared of any wrongdoing, although a file was sent to the Director of Public Prosecution who decided there was insufficient evidence to raise charges. He never returned to live at Clopton Manor, the Northampton retreat that he and Janice were rebuilding as their country home. He also gave up all his interests in the French Chateau he was negotiating to buy for £175,000. A hotel clerk working in a Paris hotel confirmed that Tony Weston was at the hotel the very night Janice was murdered. The strange factor however, was that he was not interviewed by Cambridgeshire Police until some ten days later. Ashok, the clerk at the Hotel d'Isly, specifically recalled Tony Weston picking up his room key because of an altercation at reception. It appears that the previous day, September 9th 1983, Tony Weston had shown an English couple around the chateau although, for what reason, has never been established. Was he trying to ensure a perfect alibi?
The couple have been traced by Online Publishing Company and stated: "It was all so long ago but he seemed in good spirits and showed us around the house and then left at about 7pm for Paris on business."
Cambridgeshire Police ultimately attended the French capital but they were only able to confirm that Tony Weston paid for three nights' accommodation at the hotel from Friday to Sunday and that he used his credit card in Paris at 2.15pm on Saturday and another transaction on Sunday evening. It would appear that Tony Weston left Paris on Monday, September 12th 1983, and again visited the chateau on Tuesday, 13th September. The police found him there and requested his urgent return to the United Kingdom. By that time, they had identified the body of Janice Weston.
Isner's step-granddaughter was also questioned, but she had an alibi that checked out. An inquest was held in April 1984 which resulted in an unlawful killing verdict. The murderer of lawyer Janice Weston has never been identified or apprehended.
It's now 27 years on and no one has really taken the matter further.
A breakthrough came when Giovanni Di Stefano nicknamed the 'Devil's Advocate' in 2007 wrote on his law firm's blog the following request: "If anyone knows anything, remembers the incident, was one of the witnesses that saw a man change her tyre, was the man that changed her tyre, or knows anything no matter how remote, knows Tony Weston or his whereabouts now: please call or e mail me."On the 9th February 2010 some three years later Di Stefano received an email asking a question: "I recall this unsolved case with some interest and wonder if you ever were able to obtain the information you were seeking?"The next day from a wholly different source the following email was received: "Hello This may seem a little odd, but I was very interested to find your piece on Janice. It happens that I was at school with her (when she was Janice Wright; her sister Linda was there too but older - Potters Bar High School in Hertfordshire, UK, c.1956-61.) Diana Barker was our headmistress. I lost touch with Janice when I left Potters Bar; we were certainly not close friends as children, but I do remember her as a very vibrant, leading figure in our class; extremely clever and gifted with music as well as dance. I often wondered what happened - I think she went to St. Michael's Convent at age 11. I heard nothing after that, but came across the dreadful news in 1983 and was terribly shocked. Since then she has come into my mind at times, and I tried a Google search, coming across your piece today. I would be most interested and grateful to know if there have been any developments at all since 2006, when your piece was posted. It seems odd that the police have never re-opened the case, even though DNA evidence has improved so much in the last 25 years. I have wonder why, and also why there was so little media coverage or follow-up at the time. I would be grateful to hear back if you can."
It seemed that all of a sudden there was interest in a murder case that to all intent and purposes had been placed on hold. The same day an email was received with what seemed a little too much knowledge of the events of that night.
"For what it's worth, I have always thought that the key to the case was the car belonging to Janice Weston, and what it may have contained, with or without her knowledge, as the case may be, particularly the spare wheel."
Will this be the breakthrough that the case requires? Was Janice involved with drug dealers? Were drugs placed in her tyre? Who was the man who bought a set of number plates identical to those on Janice's car just a few hours after her death and only 20 miles away from where her body lay? Where is Tony Weston and what of his life since 1983? He was cleared of any involvement that is without doubt but with new evidence his recollections will be vital to solve this murder.
Online Publishing Company will make available the emails received to the police in this as still unsolved murder case that shocked the nation in 1983.

Oregon Snow Outlook for Thanksgiving Weekend
Looking ahead at the upcoming week, I do not have encouraging news about the weather. It is a near certainty that there won't be enough (natural) snow for the ski areas to open before the Thanksgiving weekend. Our computer models have been consistently indicating a very dry pattern for the foreseeable future. In fact, one computer model I just looked at had no significant precipitation anywhere in the Northwest through December 4th! It seems that winter 2008-2009 is destined to be a slow-starter.
The news isn't all bad, however. Looking back at past winters, rarely, if ever, does the month of November characterize the entire winter. Often, the opposite is true. So just because November has been a bummer month weather-wise, it doesn't mean that this winter will turn out poor overall. It just means that we must exercise a bit more patience than usual this fall.
For those who must get some turns in between now and when the storms return, don't forget that Timberline Lodge ski area plans to operate its Palmer Express lift daily, weather permitting. The Snowfield is in great shape. Elsewhere, there's a chance that areas with some snowmaking guns might be able to coat a run or two with a minimal snow base for the holiday weekend… but it'll be tough. Be sure to check the conditions page at SkiOregon.org to see the status of each Oregon ski area… especially as the weekend draws near.
Think snow!

On Friday night, the momentum continued for Kanoff, as he threw for 391 yards and six touchdowns in the Wolverines' 44-11 victory over Santa Fe Springs (Calif.) St. Paul.
"It was a good game," he said of the Mission League opener. "We played well throughout the game. Driving down the field on our opening drive was probably the highlight for me, especially since we hadn't played here since my sophomore year when we lost, and that was my first time I ever started a game. It was good to get things going right away."
Kanoff has thrown for almost 2,000 yards for 26 touchdowns and only two interceptions in six games this season while leading his team to a 5-1 start; his longest pass thus far was an 81-yard throw versus Sylmar (Calif.) in Week 4.
"As a team, we just have to keep doing what we're doing, preparing for our games each week and playing well. Looking forward, we'll continue to work on everything from protections to routes to throwing against man coverage," he said.
The signal-caller ended his recruitment in May, committing to Vanderbilt. Months later, he's solid in his commitment and plans on taking his official visit on January 20th.
He's had a chance to watch the Commodores in action this season, commenting, "they are a good team. They are a fun team to watch in the SEC."
As he reflects back onto his junior season, Kanoff can see a vast improvement in his game.
"I'm just making good decisions. Practicing hard. I think I've improved on my mechanics a lot since my junior season. Last year, I didn't use my legs very much and this year I'm running much more. It's been great," he said.

Local forest officials are leaning toward not using explosives or fire to dispose of the dead cows discovered this spring near a popular backcountry camping destination outside of Aspen.
Instead, plans being formed this week will have a U.S. Forest Service crew hike 8.5 miles to a cabin located near Conundrum Hot Springs with hand saws, and cut the carcasses into "appropriate-sized" pieces to disperse in the surrounding wilderness, said White River National Forest spokesman Bill Kight. Carnivorous wildlife is expected to take care of the rest.
"We'll get the effects of the decomposition spread out," Kight said, adding that an official decision is expected to be signed-off on mid-week. "It may take a while."
A half-dozen dead cows were discovered in March by two Air Force Academy cadets who had snowshoed to the cabin located near the hot springs at 11,200 feet in elevation. They had planned to sleep in the cabin but could not because the animals were piled up inside, frozen solid. Upon their return to Aspen, they informed rangers with the White River National Forest.
The cows are believed to have sought shelter in the cabin during an early-winter snowstorm, but became too packed inside to get out, causing them to perish. A rancher with a grazing permit in the nearby Gunnison National Forest reported that 29 of his cattle went missing in the fall, possibly explaining where the animals came from. There are believed to be multiple other dead cows in the area, but it's unclear how many.
When first informed of the situation, Forest Service officials had considered blowing the cows up with explosives, or setting the cabin on fire. It's imperative to do something with the carcasses before the warm weather begins drawing the thousands of hikers who visit Conundrum each year. If the cattle are allowed to thaw and decompose where they are, it could lead to water contamination in the hot springs, as well as conflicts between humans and bears, which will be drawn to the meat.
Using saws and spreading the cow parts around was ultimately recognized as the path of least resistance, Kight said.
"It's the easiest and quickest way to make it happen," he said.
Explosives are expensive, and the logistics of using dynamite or fire to get rid of the cows would prove challenging, particularly with this season's wildfire worries.
The cows are located in the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness, which means no chainsaws would be allowed. Higher-ups in the Forest Service could waive the rules in the event of an emergency, but in this case, no such waiver is anticipated, Kight said.
It's unclear what the exact composition of the saw team will be.
If more cow carcasses are found as the snow melts, forest officials will deal with those situations when they arise, Kight said.

Klaus Kinski is a 16th century Conquistador, leading an expedition along the Amazon to find the fabled golden city of El Dorado. However, the further they go along, the more their numbers thin out as the natives hidden in the jungles steadily pick off the group as they continue following their obsessive leader toward insanity. The first collaboration between Kinski and director Werner Herzog, 1972's "Aguirre: The Wrath of God" ("Aguirre, der Zorn Gottes") was a difficult and tumultuous shoot, made on location in the jungles of South America, during which the star and director frequently - and not for the last time in their working relationship - clashed violently together (they even seriously threatened each others lives during filming). However, the result is an often mesmerising adventure inexorably moving toward tragedy, with Kinski making a superbly nuanced performance despite all his troubles, a characteristic that made the actor such a powerful one in spite of his difficult personality - which also made his connection with Herzog so palpably functioning as the director knew how to handle him to the extent that he was literally the only one who agreed to work with the actor not only a second time, but on four future films. Herzog is one of those directors who is legendary for his difficult film shoots and there is a definite madness to his method, which his insistence on filming the movie in the middle of the Amazon far away from any civilised habitation shows, even if this would have surely eaten at the cast and crew even without the inclusion of the constant violent fights with Kinski. Still, there's no denying that the authenticity of the locations only further helped with the oppressive atmosphere, and the final scene of Kinski standing alone on a raft surrounded by monkeys is surreally beautiful, making this a movie that not only impresses with its pitch perfect tone, but leaves one mesmerised by its hypnotically dreamlike power. A masterpiece level film, complete with an ethereal Popol Vuh score and glorious Thomas Mauch cinematography. (c) berlioz 2014

Origination of Benghazi Talking Points Gets a Little Clearer
Filed Under Nat'l Security, Politics | 32 Comments
For months the White House has been pinning the "it was the video" talking points on regarding the Benghazi attack on Susan Rice and/or the intelligence community, but not surprisingly the trail is leading to the top.
Yesterday, Jay Carney said that on the night of the attack, President Obama spoke with Hillary Clinton at about 10 p.m.
At approximately 10:30 p.m. the Hillary Clinton/the State Department released this statement:
I condemn in the strongest terms the attack on our mission in Benghazi today. As we work to secure our personnel and facilities, we have confirmed that one of our State Department officers was killed. We are heartbroken by this terrible loss. Our thoughts and prayers are with his family and those who have suffered in this attack.
This evening, I called Libyan President Magariaf to coordinate additional support to protect Americans in Libya. President Magariaf expressed his condemnation and condolences and pledged his government's full cooperation.
Some have sought to justify this vicious behavior as a response to inflammatory material posted on the Internet. The United States deplores any intentional effort to denigrate the religious beliefs of others. Our commitment to religious tolerance goes back to the very beginning of our nation. But let me be clear: There is never any justification for violent acts of this kind.
In light of the events of today, the United States government is working with partner countries around the world to protect our personnel, our missions, and American citizens worldwide.
And by "some" Hillary's probably referring first and foremost to Obama.
By the way, Susan Rice recently said that focusing on who originally suggested the "blame the video" talking points is a bigger tragedy than the attack that killed four Americans.
These people aren't qualified to be in charge of a convenience store and yet they're running the country.

The most mainest take-away I get from all this, in spite of Shrillary accepting responsibility, lighted by the glaring ineptitude and corruption of this administration, is: NO ONE is accepting responsibility for anything and trying however futilely to pass blame somewhere – ANYwhere else and cover up / hide from the truth !

Well this is very interesting. Remember, Panetta testified to Congress that he did not have any contact with Obama (after their regularly scheduled 5pm meeting) and never had contact with Hillary on the night of the attack.
Well I guess now we know why, Obama and Hillary were to busy witha CYA to be bothered with things like sending in help.

And here I thought it was just a propicious political moment for Obama and Hillary to promote the UN's wonderful progressive idea that speaking against Islam should be made a global crime. The question is: Was Susan Rice with Obama the whole night and they decided to take this course, (inbetween whatever esle they were doing?)

That was my question too. What exactly does HRC mean when she says "partner countries"? Reeks of U.N-speak that we're all just subsidiaries of the *same* multi-national conglomerate?
It also is self-appointed, and self-flattering. For all their golden knee pads, this admin. hasn't made any more inroads than any other. I'd also challenge the use of "attack on our mission". You mean the embassy? What 'mission' precisely? It's just a noun; person, place or thing. The 'mission' of failing to protect our people, or the MISSION to cover it up?

I would go farther and say that this administration has reversed inroads we have made in the past. Our allies no longer trust us and our enemies no longer fear us.
Just look at what happened in the Mali AQ hostage crisis for an example of "allies" not trusting us. The governement forces in Mali never notified our government (or any of the European govts) prior to making a rescue attempt for fear that we would either leak it or try to stop it.
NoKo nuke tests and the Iranians openly flaunting that they are excited about Hagel as SecDef are just two examples of the lack of fear our sworn enemies have for us.

On a whim and knowing the salesman, I asked for the keys and took it for a "short" test drive. I went two doors down, circled thru a convenience store lot and back. I even backed it into its space … over the curb. Could NOT get out quick enough !! I think it was still bouncing when I got out. Man, the Russian Trabant was better. The ONE option; AM-FM radio.

SCC grad fights continuing cancer battle
Although Caleb Peterson, 21, is still a sophomore working to earn a teaching degree at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls, he is already teaching everyone lessons on living life to the fullest.
Peterson, a Roberts resident and 2008 St. Croix Central graduate, is currently battling brain cancer for the second time in two years.
While on a family vacation in 2008, Peterson said he began experiencing symptoms of dehydration like nausea and "migraine-like headaches."
After returning home, an MRI showed that Peterson had a tumor in his brain. He had surgery on Aug. 20, 2008 and was diagnosed with "small cell sarcoma," a type of cancer that little is known about.
After the tumor was removed, Peterson had radiation treatments at the Mayo Clinic, in Rochester, Minn., from Sept. 15, 2008 to Oct. 24, 2008. After Thanksgiving that year, Peterson started chemotherapy treatment, which ended on June 25, 2009.
Peterson said after his first chemotherapy treatment there was no trace of cancer on any scans and the doctors said he was "unofficially" cancer-free.
After completing chemo, Peterson had three- and six-month MRI's in Eau Claire to make sure he was still cancer-free.
"It was all clear until about November of this semester, and I was just having some headaches and balance stuff," Peterson said.
Peterson's mom, Julie, noticed the changes too and they decided he should get a scan done, since it was close to his six-month checkup.
"The tumor was on the scan ... so it was back," Peterson said.
Another scan confirmed the return of the cancer.
The doctors presented Peterson with the option of surgery or chemotherapy.
"With surgery being so risky, chemo was the best option, since I handled it so well the first time," Peterson said. "So I started chemotherapy treatment again on Nov. 29."
"I'm optimistic. I'm confident in (the doctor's) medical knowledge that (the chemo) will be successful, but it's a wait and see kind of thing," he said.
Peterson said his battle with cancer has made him really appreciate what he has in terms of family, friends and people to support him and his family.
"I've come to appreciate my family more, and life, I guess. As an 18-year-old, I guess I kind of thought 'I'm invincible, nothing can touch me.' I've kind of got a different perspective on life," he said.
Peterson said the cancer has been an "interruption" on his life as a college student, as treatments have affected his school schedule and taken away his freedom to drive himself around.
Peterson said he's been surprised by the "overflow of support" from such small communities.
Peterson's dad, Gary, said there have been some "real heroes" in the community who have stepped up to lend their support.
Students at the schools have been raising "Coins for Caleb" and Peterson has spoken to seventh-graders at the middle school, holding their attention for an hour and a half.
Peterson said he was not expecting such a positive response from the students.
"You don't realize how inspiring you can be," he said.
Peterson said the community has been an inspiration to him as well.
"It's been amazing to just see the community that backs you up when your family is going through a tough time and to realize you don't have to be a big community to support each other," he said.
When talking to students, Peterson says he emphasizes, "To really live every day like it could be your last, cause you don't know what tomorrow is going to bring, or if tomorrow's going to come. I'm going to live today, because I'm not guaranteed tomorrow. Appreciate every day that you do get."
Create awareness
Peterson said he wants to bring awareness to an age group of cancer patients that little is known about. He said the college-aged group is the most ignored.
"The last statistic I read said the age group I'm in, for cancer in general, the 18-25 year old range, has the least amount of information available on cancer," Peterson said.
Peterson isn't aiming to start a national campaign. "If I can just bring a few people's awareness to the age group, I'll consider it a success," he explained.
Peterson is involved in the "Mary Virnig Conquer Cancer Club" at UW-River Falls, made up of college students who have either had cancer, have cancer or know someone who has gone through cancer.
Peterson said Mary's goal was to bring awareness to the college-age group of cancer patients. He is participating in the Relay for Life in River Falls in March and invites anyone to join the club's relay team this year.
While people on the team can fundraise if they want, Peterson said awareness is what is most important.
Individuals interested in donating to the Mary Virnig Conquer Cancer Club's Relay for Life team can enter the team's name on the Relay for Life website. Peterson is also accepting cash and check donations for the American Cancer Society. Donations can be mailed to Peterson at 659 140th Street, Roberts, WI, 54023. Peterson is also selling awareness bracelets to raise money for the cause.
In 2011, Peterson said he hopes, "To get cancer-free again. To get back to what people would call a normal life."
Peterson said he is thankful for what his parents have done to support him throughout his life, and especially the last two years as he's battled cancer.
"If I wouldn't have had the parents that I do have, the journey would be completely different," he said.
Peterson's parents
Julie has had a number of loved ones battle cancer, but having her son diagnosed with cancer was especially hard.
"I think because it's such not the natural order of things. I don't think we were designed to watch our children die or be sick," she said.
Julie said she struggles because Caleb is "part of her," and when he hurts she hurts as well.
"I've done this. I've done treatment, I've done radiation, I've watched people go through it, I've watched people suffer, some of them I've watched die. I'm not doing it again," Julie said.
Julie said the second diagnosis on Nov. 18 was especially hard.
"I have never had the experience that when a physician comes to talk to you that the physician cries. The physician cried when he came into the room. No one should have to do this more than once. Most people shouldn't have to do this ever," Julie said.
Julie and Gary are still trying to understand why Caleb has had to go through such a rough two years.
"I've asked that question hundreds of times. Why me? Why us? Why him?" Julie said.
The Petersons have turned to God to help them cope with Caleb's battles with cancer. Gary recalled a quote he read awhile back, "Faith is not knowing where you're being led, but putting your trust in the One who's leading."
Julie said the last two years have really "put things into perspective that we need to be thankful for every day we have because we don't know how many days we'll get."
Gary said that Caleb is the "strongest person" he's ever met.
"No matter how bad you think it is, it ain't that bad. You can always find something to be thankful for," Gary said.
Gary has learned from Caleb's appreciation for every day he has.
"I think we hear those things over and over and over again. And say 'yep that's true.' But it's unfortunate that sometimes it seems that you have to see someone you know or love struggle to understand how real that is.
But if you get that message to one person a day it is worth it," Gary said.
Julie said although everyone has "rough days" the Peterson family tries to stay optimistic.
"One thing we've learned, and hopefully taught other people, is that attitude has a lot to do with the outcome," she said.
January 22 benefit
The Petersons are incredibly grateful for their supportive community.
"We can't say thank you enough," Julie said.
There is a benefit planned on Jan. 22 at the Badlands Golf Course. The planning is still in the works. For updates on the time of the event and other information, go to Caleb's Caringbridge page by typing in CalebPeterson (without a space).
A benefit account is set up for Caleb at the WESTconsin Credit Union. Making a donation is tax deductible and will help Caleb as he goes through chemotherapy.

December 17
Among those who foretold the Birth of the promised Messiah was the holy Prophet Daniel. He was of royal lineage from the tribe of Judah. As a youth he was taken captive by the Babylonian king Nebuchadnezzar (607-562 BC). and as he was handsome and of a good family, he was chosen together with several others to be trained for service in the palace. They were taught the Chaldean language as well as various sciences. The king ensured that they were well provided for and given food from his own table.
Among the chosen youths Daniel had three friends: Ananias, Azarias and Misail. All four steadfastly preserved their faith in the one true God and together refused to eat the king's food for fear breaking one of Moses' laws. They asked their overseer to give them only bread and vegetables, but the overseer was afraid that they would become thin and he would be made to suffer the king's wrath. Daniel persuaded him to make a test and allow them to observe this regimen for ten days. At the end of this period all could see that not only had Daniel and his friends not lost weight --they had grown still healthier and more handsome than before. And so they were permitted to eat as they pleased. The Lord God rewarded them for their faithfulness, granting them various talents and success in their studies. And to Daniel was given the special gift of interpreting dreams and visions.
in the second year of his reign, Nebuchadnezzar saw an unusual dream which
troubled his spirit; when he awoke, however, he couldn't recall the content of
the dream. He summoned together all the wise men, astrologers, magicians and
soothsayers of the land, and demanded an explanation of his dream. But they were
astonished at such a task. Who, they asked, could begin to interpret a dream
which the king himself could not remember! Nebuchadnezzar grew angry and ordered
all these sages to be put to death. Daniel heard of their dilemma and requested
some time to think it over. That night he prayed fervently to God, and in his
sleep the Lord revealed to him the king's dream and its significance. All this
Daniel explained to the king---how he had been thinking of the future and beheld
in a dream a terrible statue whose head was of fine gold, "his breast and
his arms were of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass, his legs of iron and
part of clay. Then from a mountain a stone was cut out without hands and struck
the image, breaking it to pieces; and the stone became a great mountain and
filled the whole earth."
In explaining this dream Daniel told Nebuchadnezzar that as a king of kings to whom God had given a kingdom, power, strength and glory, he was this head of gold, and after him would arise another kingdom, less powerful, and then a third; and finally these would all be consumed by an everlasting, kingdom of the God of heaven, which kingdom would spread over the entire earth unto the ages of ages.
Nebuchadnezzar arose and, bowing down before Daniel, said: "Truly, your God is the God of gods and King of kings!" In reward for his interpretation Daniel was given authority over all the wise men of Babylon, and his three friends--Ananias, Azarius and Misail--were made rulers of the land. [1].
Nebuchadnezzar, however, did not remain steadfast in confessing the God of Daniel to be God of gods and King of kings. In the 18th year of the Babylonian captivity, Nebuehadnezzar had an enormous golden idol erected in a field. All the wise men and the learned members of Babylon gathered to witness its unveiling. It was announced that at the sound of the trumpets and the musical instruments everyone was to bow down before the idol. Anyone who failed to observe the king's decree would be thrown into the furnace.
At the given moment, all bowed down--with the exception of Ananias, Azarias and Misail. Hearing of their refusal, the king flew into a rage and commanded that the flames be increased seven-fold and that the three obstinate young Israelites be bound and thrown into the furnace. It was made so hot that the soldiers who threw the victims into the fire themselves fell dead, and even those Chaldeans standing nearby were scorched. The three godly youths, however, remained unharmed. The Lord had sent His angel to guard them from the flames, and they stood in the midst of the furnace singing praises to God,
Nebuchadnezzar, who was seated on a high throne facing the furnace, turned to his counselors: "Were there not three youths bound and thrown into the furnace? How is it that I see four, freely walking, unharmed, amidst the flames; and the fourth has the appearance of the Son of God." Approaching the furnace, Nebuchadnezzar called the youths out. When they came forth it could be seen that the flames had not touched them: neither their clothing nor their hair was even singed. Seeing this Nebuchadnezzar said: Blessed is your God Who sent His angel and preserved Ills servants who trusted in Him. And he forbade his subjects, on penalty of death, to mock the God of the Israelites.
After Nebuchadnezzar' s death, the throne passed through his son and his son-in-law to his grandson Belshezzar, And all these years Daniel continued to interpret dream s and himself to have dreams which were significant in foreshadowing future events. He foretold to Belshezzar that because he had forgotten the example of his grandfather Nebuchadnezzar and had scorned the true God, he would be killed and his kingdom would be divided. That very night the prophecy was fulfilled and the Babylonian empire was taken over by the Medes and Persians.
The Median king Darius looked with favor upon Daniel and raised him up to be one of the three kings under his sovereignty. Daniel's popularity roused the envy of the Chaldean wise men who plotted to have him killed. They knew that three times a day Daniel prayed before a window opened towards Jerusalem. They proposed the king make a decree that for 30 days no one petition any god or man, save the king, for any reason whatsoever. Breaking this decree would cause the offended to be thrown to the lions. King Darius agreed.
The holy prophet Daniel continued as before to pray to God and ask His mercy. When his enemies denounced Daniel, the king realized it was all a ruse, but he could not annul his decree and was forced to have Daniel thrown into the lions' den.
Early the next morning, Darius hurried to the den, "Daniel, servant of the living God," he shouted, "has your God been able to save you from the lions?" .... "King," answered Daniel, "my God sent His angel to close the jaws of the lions, for I have been found pure in His sight, and before you, O king, I have not transgressed."
The king was overjoyed and ordered Daniel released from the lions' den and his accusers to take his place. These men had scarcely entered the den when they were attacked by the lions and torn to pieces.
Then Darius wrote the following to be spread abroad: "I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel; for He is the living God... and His dominion shall be even unto the end."
And so the Prophet Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian. Among his prophecies, he foretold the year of Christ's Birth, and that the Messiah would be given over to death; this would be followed by the destruction of the temple and all Jerusalem, and the Old Testament sacrifices would cease. And so it came to pass.
[1] Daniel's prophecy was fulfilled precisely. The Babylonian kingdom was succeeded by three more great empires: the Persian Medean, the Macedonian or Greek, and the Roman; each of these ruled over the Jewish people. During the Roman Empire the Lord Jesus Christ appeared on earth, the Saviour of the world, and established His everlasting and universal kingdom--His holy Church.
According to the Holy Fathers, the stone uncut by human hands, which broke away from the mountain and crushed the image--signifies Christ, born of a Pure Virgin without the participation of a man. Overruling all temporal kingdoms, He raised up a kingdom which is never to be destroyed, a spiritual kingdom. Because this prophecy foretells the Saviour's Birth, it is read during Vespers on the eve of the Feast of Nativity.[OA/_private/oabot.htm]

Circumcision may slightly reduce a man's chances of developing prostate cancer, a new study suggests.
The findings are based on 3,399 men who answered a series of questions about their medical and sexual history. About half of them had been recently diagnosed with prostate cancer. The other half served as a control group.
The analysis revealed that men who had been circumcised before their first sexual intercourse were 15-per-cent less likely to develop prostate cancer than uncircumcised men.
What may account for these results? The researchers speculate that uncircumcised men are at increased risk of infections that may contribute to the development of prostate cancer.
"Men who haven't been circumcised still have their foreskin that provides folds of skin where infectious agents can grow and persist," said the senior researcher, Janet Stanford of the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Centre in Seattle. "Those infectious agents may travel to the prostate and start an inflammatory process … that is conducive to the growth of cancer cells."
Dr. Stanford hopes the study, published in the journal Cancer, will encourage other scientists to explore the possibility that circumcision may help prevent some cases of the disease.
Although a lot of work would be needed to prove a protective effect, the theory at least fits in with the latest trends in medical research. Recent studies, for instance, have suggested that circumcision can significantly reduce a man's risks of catching a sexually transmitted disease. (In fact, circumcision is now being promoted as an AIDS prevention strategy in Africa.)
Furthermore, a growing body of evidence indicates that several types of cancer are either triggered or fuelled by infections.
"This study is one piece of evidence supporting the theory that there may be an infectious-inflammatory process related to the development of some cases of prostate cancer," said Dr. Stanford.Report Typo/Error

FORT BLISS, Texas - One by one, Sgt. 1st Class Mark Barrus, 1st Armored Division's Tactical Assault Command Post Battle noncommissioned officer, calls off the names on a list.
Amongst the formation are male and female soldiers, proficient in their fields as attorneys, human resources, maintenance mechanics and more. They rank from private through lieutenant colonel.
As the soldiers leave formation to load a bus going to the flight line, Barrus visually identifies each one as they sound off with "here sergeant" or "hooah sergeant."
Fifty-nine soldiers flew out of Fort Bliss, Texas, to join more than 20 additional team members at the National Training Center, Fort Irwin, Calif., July 28.
The 1st Armored Division deployed soldiers from Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, to train on the setup and operate a Division Tactical Assault Command post at NTC.
In just three days, the team assembled -from the ground up- the housing, networks, and communication lines for the 1AD DTAC.
"Success here was not guaranteed said," Lt. Col. Christopher R. Norrie, assistant chief of staff G-3. "But you've made it a success."
In support of the 1st Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, the DTAC was ordered to NTC.
"It's been a long time since we came out, said 1st Lt. Spurgeon Petty, DTAC Forward Commander. We're the first DTAC rotation for 1AD to train at NTC since reassigning to Fort Bliss."
Petty said this mission is to train the DTAC for deployment. While ensuring the communication and tracking systems are connected and correct, the DTAC will maintain the lines of communication between 1AD back at Fort Bliss, 1/1 AD in the front and 52nd Infantry Division Headquarters in the training area. Once all reports are in from the brigade, the DTAC reports to higher for analysis of operations.
In the event that the deployed BCT requires support — extra firepower, equipment, personnel, advice, etc. — the DTAC can contact their headquarters staff for assistance.
"We're training for the just in case," said Sgt. Richard LeBlanc, 1AD DTAC Fire Control noncommissioned officer.
"Hopefully this will be a good training experience, and we'll be fully mission capable for future deployments," said Petty.
The DTAC will be training for the duration of the 1/1 AD NTC Rotation.

1. Q. My family enjoys our fireplace during the winter. It is very relaxing to watch the flames dancing over the logs. I have heard that flames can be colored if certain chemicals are added before burning. Do you know which chemicals cause which colors?
A. I am basically a chemical-free guy but if you really want to "color" the flames for the holiday season, you will have to seek out certain chemicals. Chemical treatment of the material to be burned can result in green, red, blue, orange, or purple flames instead of the usual yellow flame from wood.
Calcium chloride can be used to produce orange-colored flames; copper chloride, blue; potassium chloride, purple; strontium nitrate, red; lithium chloride, carmine; and copper sulfate, emerald green. Most of these chemicals can be purchased from chemical suppliers or drugstores.
To treat either pine cones or wood chips, a plastic pail and an onion sack are needed. The cones or chips are placed in the sack and immersed in a solution containing one pound of chemical dissolved thoroughly in one gallon or more of water. The bag must be weighted so that all of the material is completely covered, and the cones and wood should soak for at least 10 minutes.
After soaking, place the treated material on newspaper to dry; then it will be ready to brighten the holiday fireplace.
With the rising cost of wood, newspapers can be turned into "logs" which will burn with a rainbow of color. Simply tie the loosely rolled newspapers with heavy twine and soak them in a solution of four pounds of copper sulfate and three pounds of rock salt dissolved in a gallon of water. After allowing these "logs" several days to dry, they may be burned just as wood.

Turbo lag and wastegate software "fix"
Hey all,
Short version: Is there a chip or tuning option I have that can get rid of the software-induced turbo lag where BMW is now keeping wastegates open so they don't rattle?
More details: A while back I noticed that I was getting turbo lag until 2500 rpm, and when I bought the car it was almost non-existant (1100 ish?). I had the car in for something else today and asked and it winds up, when they did some recall they automatically updated my software to include this "fix". It really pisses me off and I'm told there is no way to revert back (even if I was willing to pay for a software change since I am out of warranty). They have fundamentally changed the car from how I purchased it.
But short of selling the car, I thought I'd see if there's a tuning option?
Bypass the factory boost control solenoid. Spend some $ and get an HKS EVC smart boost controller. This will get rid of your lag. You can find older ones EVC 3 or 4 on ebay for a few hundred.

Flowery Dreams Like all boom and bust stories, not everyone lives happily ever after in Tulip Fever
by Doug French by Doug French
"The boom produces impoverishment," wrote Ludwig von Mises in Human Action. "But still more disastrous are its moral ravages. It makes people despondent and dispirited. The more optimistic they were under the illusory prosperity of the boom, the greater is their despair and their feeling of frustration."
As the world-wide boom has turned into a world-wide crash, it's not just financial dreams that have been dashed. Families have been torn apart, relationships busted and some men learning that their boom-time marriages were contingent on "for better" lasting forever, and their now ex-wives aren't waiting for Hank Paulson or Ben Bernanke's stabilization schemes to work.
Not only are economic signals distorted by boom times, but all human action can be warped. Morals and good sense are cast aside. The good times will never end; caution and prudence are no longer required, hubris runs wild. As Paul Cantor describes Thomas Mann's short story "Disorder and Early Sorrow" set in hyper-inflationary Weimar Germany: "The story charts the dissolution of authority, as we watch a social order breaking down and see the confusions that result."
As rare as Thomas Mann's short story, are historical novels using financial manias as a backdrop. But it wasn't the frantic trading of tulip bulbs that inspired author Deborah Moggach to write Tulip Fever. It was a 1660 painting by a minor Dutch artist that she bought at auction. In her research she quickly discovered tulipmania and "thought this a wonderful symbol of human greed and passion," she writes on her website.
In very fast moving fashion, Moggach tells a tale of passion and deception. Set in 1630s Amsterdam, the author captures that city's frenzy of commerce. All strata of society were living it up. The very wealthy merchant Cornelis Sandvoort has a fine home, servant, pretty young wife, but no heirs. He like many of Amsterdam's high society seeks immortality with a portrait painted by one of the many busy local artists.
But his dear Sophia has lost her passion for him, and falls for the advances of the young artist her husband commissions to paint their portrait. As the portrait progresses, so does the forbidden love affair, with the lies multiplying like the price of Witte Croonen bulbs.
As they become more and more brazen with their affair, Sophia's and her paramour painter's lives become entangled with those of Cornerlis's servant girl Maria and Maria's dockworker lover Willem. In Jan van Loos, Sophia's lover, Moggach effectively portrays a man caught up in a mania. He begins to neglect his work, be negligent in his grooming, and be totally obsessed with trading tulip bulbs. He leaves his painting entirely to his apprentice. He has great success trading and then hatches a plan to mortgage everything to raise the money needed for Sophia and him to run away together. In Sophia's voice, "I meet Jan in our trysting place beside the water fountain. He has lost weight, his cheeks are sunken. His hair, so shiny and curly when he first came to my house, is matted. He doesn't greet me; eyes glittering, he grabs my wrist."
Jan to Sophia "Luck's been on our side, all these weeks. Tell me we should put all our eggs into one basket!"
"He means, of course, the risk beyond all risks: the most dangerous risk of all. The king of kings, the Semper Augustus. Claes van Hooghelande has one bulb left."
Moggach brings tulipmania to life and continually surprises the reader with an imaginative plot. Imaginative enough that Steve Spielberg called the author before the book was even published in 1999 and said he wanted to film it.
There is plenty on the internet about the cast: Jude Law is to play Jan van Loos and Keira Knightley will be Sophia. Unfortunately, Spielberg hasn't gotten around to making Tulip Fever into a movie.
Like all boom and bust stories, not everyone lives happily ever after in Moggach's tulip tale, but it is anything but predictable and a very fun and instructive read.

Adrian Peterson entered Sunday's game saying that he still believed a 300-yard rushing day was possible in the NFL. In the first half, he appeared to be on pace with 144 yards with five minutes left in the second quarter.
However, as the Seahawks gained lead in the second half of their 30-20 win and Christian Ponder continued to struggle to take advantage of defenses pressuring the running game near the line of scrimmage, Peterson's production fell in the second half, too.
Still, Peterson was about the only thing that went right for the Vikings. He was responsible for all five of the team's top gains in Seattle, rattling off runs of 74, 28, 24, 16 and 15 yards, finishing with 182 yards on 17 carries in the loss.
Adrian Peterson's 74-yard run on the second play from scrimmage is longest run the Seahawks have allowed since 2009.
"Usually when we run as well as we ran the ball today, that's a good sign for our football team all the way around. We weren't able to capitalize on a terrific day for him, just a great day," Vikings coach Leslie Frazier said. "To the run the ball as well as he did against the fifth-ranked (run) defense in our league, to not come away with more as a team, it's disappointing."
Peterson averaged 10.7 yards a carry and rushed for two touchdowns.
His 74-yard run was his 13th career run of 50 yards or more, breaking the franchise record previously held by Robert Smith. He also broke the team's all-time record with his 78th game leading the team in rushing attempts. His 182 rushing yards were fifth-most in franchise history, as he now owns four of the top five marks, including the NFL's single-game record of 296 yards rushing as a rookie in 2007.
Peterson's 144 yards in in the first half also established a team record for most in the first half of a game, and it was the 12th time he's rushed for 100 or more in a half (Robert Smith is second on that list – doing that only two times).
But Peterson had only five rushes for 38 yards in the second half.
"We wanted to (use him more), but we felt like with all the eight– and nine-man boxes we were getting there would be some opportunities in the passing game," Frazier said.
There might have been, but Ponder couldn't take advantage as his recent struggles continued, despite Peterson's production.
"Obviously in the past couple games it's been one-dimensional. But we've seen what the passing game can do early on in the season. We've just got to get back to that," Ponder said.
"… It's tough when Adrian runs for 182 yards and we throw the ball for 40-something yards (44 net). We've got to piggy-back when Adrian has a great game."
Peterson became only the seventh player since the AFL-NFL merger with four games of 180 yards or more rushing and two or more touchdowns.
In the last three games, Peterson has 458 yards rushing, an 8.3-yard average and four touchdowns. He has 957 rushing yards on the season and will easily surpass 1,000 yards on the season before the team's bye if he even approaches his per-game average in the Vikings' Week 10 game against the Detroit Lions at Mall of America Field next Sunday.
With just over five minutes remaining in the second quarter, the Vikings settled for a field goal and Percy Harvin could be seen voicing his frustration to Frazier on the sideline.
"Just like the rest of our team, he wants to win – frustrated as we all were at that moment," Frazier said. "He's a competitor and we all were frustrated trying to come away with touchdowns instead of field goals."
Ponder had missed Harvin on the final second down of that series on a short bubble-screen attempt and then Ponder was sacked on third down to force Blair Walsh on for a 36-yard field goal.
Harvin was targeted six times in the game but had only two catches for 10 yards and rushed four times for 24 yards.
"I think we're all frustrated in the passing game and obviously we know it can get better," Ponder said. "We have great leadership on this team and Percy is one of those leaders, but we're not going to let it become a problem."
The Vikings attempted four pass deep (more than 15 yards from the line of scrimmage in the air) – three to Harvin and one to Jerome Simpson. The net result: Three incompletions and an interception.
But, once again, all four of those passes were outside the hashmarks – two to the left and two to the right. The Vikings have attempted only four passes deep down the middle this year in nine games – the lowest number in the NFL.
The Seahawks followed a trend of Vikings opponents the last three weeks and brought extra defenders near the line of scrimmage often.
"We felt like with all the eight– and nine-man boxes we were getting there would be some opportunities in the passing game," Frazier said. "We just couldn't exploit what we were getting from the defensive standpoint."
Although Percy Harvin was held to a season-low two catches for a season-low 10 yards, but tight end Kyle Rudolph has also been left out of the passing game even more lately. He has been held without a catch in two of the last three games and has been targeted only eight times in the last three games, including two times each in the last two games.
With Chris Cook sidelined until the end of the regular season with a broken arm, the Vikings started A.J. Jefferson for the first time this year instead of rookie Josh Robison, who had made two previous starts – one in the nickel defense and once in the base defense for Antoine Winfield.
"I just felt like with his size and his experience and what we had seen between the two, it was the right thing to do," Frazier said. "We like Josh, we like what he's been doing in our nickel package and he'll keep coming along, so we went with the veteran guy in this case."
Jefferson was beaten for Seattle's first touchdown on a 6-yard pass to Golden Tate. He was also called for illegal contact and holding.
TE Allen Reisner, promoted to the 53-man roster from the practice squad on Saturday, was active for the Vikings and caught a 13-yard pass. It was the only time Reisner has been targeted this year (he played in the first three games of the season), but his 13-yard reception gives him more yardage this season than John Carlson, who has caught three passes for 8 yards but has been inactive for the last two games with a concussion.
