Chase Ortiz Scouting Report

2008 NFL Draft Prospect Scouting Report:
Chase Ortiz, DE, TCU
Ortiz played as a redshirt freshman on the 2003 TCU squad and then did not play a down in 2004. He led the Mountain West Conference in sacks (99) during the 2005 season and was voted to the league First Team squad. He made 2.5 sacks and had 11 tackles for loss in 2006 and was again voted to the First Team All Mountain West Conference. He recorded eight sacks and 15.5 tackles for loss during his senior campaign, becoming the first player in school history to be named to the conference First All Team squad three years in a row. Ortiz was over shadowed most of his career at TCU by teammate Tommy Blake. He is a good athlete who is also intelligent and willing to learn. Ortiz is an experienced three year starter, which will appeal to NFL teams. He has very good speed (4.78-40) for a lineman and is very quick to the first step, with the speed and burst to beat his opponent outside. An intense player, he moves well through traffic and closes fast on ball carriers. He is durable for his size, but needs to add weight and strength, particularly on his lower body (He has the frame to add weight, so it shouldn't be a problem). Other possible problems are that he plays with a narrow base and does not shed blockers easy. Ortiz tends to slow down while changing directions, so his run stopping technique needs work. Ortiz is not the athlete Blake is, but he is more committed to the game. He plays with a "chip on his shoulder"-type attitude. He is very active on the outside, but his lack of strength makes him a liability on run plays. He needs better coaching and will have to work hard to make it to the field on the NFL. All that said, Ortiz has the intangibles to eventually become a solid pro player. Some draft boards had him drafted in the mid-to-late third round, but a mid fifth-to-early sixth round selection is more probable at this moment.

text: I'm a big fan of this kid and think he should be a consideration for the boys. I think he comes in a starts day one for us as an SOLB/rush end. This kid has it all IMO. He is a great blitzer that is good at point of attack with great pursuit. Yet he has the skills to drop into coverage. I think he would really help us cover TE's and backs in the flat, which has proven to be difficult for this defense. Here are some highlights and game tape of him.

Subject: [NorthFayette-L] History of South Fayette Township
Date: Tue, 28 Apr 1998 21:47:19 -0400
The following is a short history of South Fayette Township taken from
of Allegheny County, Pennsylvania." - 1876
South Fayette Township
North and South Fayette are closely connected, historically, and had not
their geographical connection been partially severed by the erection of a
new township they would have been treated under a single heading.
Probably the first settler in South Fayette was one Miller, who settled at
the mouth of Millerss Run. But little is known of him. He settled there
before 1768, was of English descent, and emigrated from the township to
Kentucky as soon as settlements began to be made in that State. He had
quite an extensive tract in South Fayette, and on leaving sold it to a
land-jobber, named Campbell, for a pair of shoes.
The next settler, and the first permanent one, was Christopher Lesnet. He
emigrated from Germany to Baltimore, Maryland, and came from there to South
Fayette before 1770.
William Bries, Obadiah Holmes, James Dinsmore, Moses Middleswart, and
Gabriel Walker all came to the township before 1785. Gabriel Walker settled
about a mile southwest of Walkers Mills. In 1782 his family was surprised
by a large body of Indians. Two boys were killed and scalped in the field,
and three a son and two daughterswere taken prisoners. The prisoners were
taken to Canada, and after an absence of three years returned home. On the
next morning after the murder, a large company of settlers assembled and
pursued the Indians. They came up with them a few miles above Steubenville,
in the act of crossing the Ohio River. The pursuers fired upon them and
killed two Indians. Knowing that they would murder the prisoners if
overtaken, and fearing to fire any more lest they should wound them, they
followed them no farther.
The oldest log school-house was probably on land of Thomas Alexander. It
stood there in 1790. There were several of these old school-houses
scattered through the township at a very early date.
The oldest church was near Robinsons Run, and was of the United
Presbyterian denomination. The Presbyterian Church on the bank of MillRun
is also quite ancient. It was built in 1814.
The first post-office was at Herriottsville. John McEwing was the first
Postmaster. There are now two post-offices; one at Oakdale. Oakdale is a
village of some consequence, and lies partly in North and partly in South
The Chartiers Valley Railroad enters the township, and runs through it
for a short distance on the southeast. The Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and St.
Louis Railroad crosses it on the north.
There are many pre-historic relics in various parts of South Fayette.
Among the most noticeable are some graves on a tract first occupied by John
Vance. Large piles of stone, in several places on that tract, were found to
contain many and curious remains of the stone age.

Threshold Pertussis Antibody Levels Memo - May 27, 2009 - Hiberix
From: Farizo, Karen
Sent: Wednesday, May 27, 2009 11:28 AM
To: Humbert, Jason (CBER)
Subject: FW: Hiberix Study Hib-097
Please include these Emails in the Hiberix BLA.
Subsequent to the Emails below, Drusilla and I spoke by phone about the threshold pertussis antibody levels proposed by GSK for evaluation of concomitant Pediarix in Study Hib-097. As per Drusilla's recommendations conveyed in the Emails, we will accept GSK's proposed definitions for PT, FHA, and pertactin seroresponse post-dose 3 Pediarix-- i.e., the percentage of subjects with a titer above a threshold level that leads to 95% seroresponse in the control group.
From: Burns, Drusilla L.
Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2009 12:13 PM
To: Farizo, Karen
Subject: RE: Hiberix Study Hib-097
I too was tempted to ask for the 90% level, but I became hesitant when I looked at some RCD curves. If we use a threshold level that is on the very steep part of the curve, then relatively small differences in response titers can give fairly large differences in the proportion of responders. A 10% difference may then become too stringent of a requirement; it might require large sample sizes to rule out a 10% difference.
Am I thinking about this correctly? Your thoughts are greatly appreciated since use of threshold titers for pertussis is new and I don't have a lot of experience with it.
From: Farizo, Karen
Sent: Thursday, May 21, 2009 12:02 PM
To: Burns, Drusilla L.
Subject: RE: Hiberix Study Hib-097
My only concern was whether a threshold level corresponding to a titer achieved by 95% of control Ss might be too high-- as you stated, they are "just barely" on the linear portion of the RCD curves. I suppose using a titer achieved by 90% of control Ss may be more sensitive, but asking for this instead of the 95% may be "splitting hairs". I trust/defer to your judgement on this, and if you are ok with what GSK has proposed, I am fine with that. It sure beats just looking at seropositivity (>5 EU/ml).
I will ask GSK to include the RCD curves in the study report.
Thanks again,
From: Burns, Drusilla L.

Subject: RE: Hiberix Study Hib-097
Regarding the proposed threshold antibody levels, I think that a threshold level defined as "the titer achieved by 95% of individuals in the control group after vaccination with a 3 dose primary series" is a definition that is reasonably likely to have adequate sensitivity to detect meaningful differences between vaccine groups. In order to have sufficient sensitivity to detect differences, the threshold level must be significantly greater than pre-vaccination levels and should be on the "linear portion of the dose response curve". GSK will not measure pre-vaccination titers in study HIB-097 (which is the whole point of using threshold levels) and therefore we will not know for certain the relationship between the threshold titers and pre-vaccination titers for that study. However, we can glean some information from HibMenCY-TT-005. In that study, pre-vaccination GMCs were 3.4, 8.7, and 5.1 EU/ml for PT, FHA, and PRN, respectively whereas the threshold levels (defined as that achieved by 95% of the individuals after vaccination) were significantly higher (25, 80, and 15 EU/ml, for PT, FHA, and PRN, respectively). Also, if you look at the RCD curves, the 95% point is on the "linear portion of the dose response curve" (although just barely) and not on the upper asymptote of the curve. Therefore, if the concomitant vaccine group responded less well to the vaccine, using this threshold level, we should detect differences.
Of note, the threshold definition proposed by GSK is essentially identical to the one that we settled on with Wyeth for a concomitant vaccination study with 13-valent Prevnar.
So I think that this definition for threshold level is a reasonable one. If we have not already done so, we should state that we would also like to see the RCD curves from the study in the final study report.
Does all this sound reasonable to you?

Subject: Hiberix Study Hib-097
Drusilla and Ghideon,
Could you please provide feedback on Item 7 in the attached document. Item 7 is GSK's response to our IR letter comment regarding the evaluation of post-dose 3 threshold levels of anti-PT, FHA, and PRN, in lieu of pre- to post-vx fold-rises, in Hiberix study Hib-097.
I do not really understand the statistical methods proposed for the comparison of the Hiberix arm to the ActHIB arm.
Regarding the proposed threshold antibody levels-- GSK indicates that they are based on data from Study HibMenCY-TT-005. The report for this study is available in the EDR: IND ---b(4)---, module 126.96.36.199 hib-mency-tt-005. The pertussis RCD curves are in Supplements 65, 66, 67, 115, 116, and 117 of the report.

Mumbai: As source state, it seems that a new film is about to hit the Bollywood film industry. It is believed that thanks to the large number of celebrities casted in the picture, it will turn out to be one of the best in quite some time now. Aamir Khan, Rani Mukherjee and Kareena Kapoor are some of the super stars to have already signed for the film.
Rumors are that Aamir has decided to leave no stone unturned in order to make sure that the film will present life just as it is. Actually to keep the film veridical, some of the scenes could be shot in the red light area. In fact Aamir is doing the best he can to make sure this will take place.
The director of the film, Reema Kagti as well as the producers Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani are trying to convince Aamir that not always veridical scenes are good for the outcome of a picture, especially those filmed in a red light district.

of Trans Fat on Cardiovascular Health
1. Bibliographic information:
Buchholz, T.G. (2004). "Burgers, fries and lawyers".
Policy Review. Iss. 123, 45-53.
2. Purpose of the study
The researcher, T.G. Buchholz, aims at the study of the effects
of fast food, especially burgers and fries on the health of
consumers and their cardiovascular health in particular. The
author attempts to reveal possible risks and threats of trans
fat, their effects, and he attempts to provide recommendations
concerning possible ways of the minimization of the development
of health problems, such as cardiovascular diseases in the
result of the consumption of food containing trans fat.
3. Summary of methods and procedure
The researcher analyses the effects of the consumption of
food containing tans fat on health of people in the context
of the contemporary food culture. To put it more precisely,
Buchholz researches food habits and the increased role and
amount of consumption of fast food rich in trans fat. In such
a way, he attempts to reveal the interdependence between the
consumption of food containing trans fat and the development
of various diseases, including cardiovascular health problems.
At the same time, the author takes into consideration statistical
information which helps better understand current trends and
impact of trans fat on human health. For this purpose the
researcher compares the food habits and major diseases people
suffer from today.
4. Key findings/results of the study
Eventually, the author arrives to the conclusion that contemporary
people are not always aware of effects of the fast food consumption
and they pay little attention to their health. In fact, Buchholz
reveals the fact that trans fat can be harmful for human health.
In such a context, he does not simply criticize fast food
but, instead, he suggests alternatives which are safer for
human health. Thus, the author reveals the risks of trans
fat and offers possible ways of minimization of trans fat
consumption. The author lays emphasis on the fact that people
should pay more attention to food they eat and be conscious
of possible negative effects of this food on their health.
5. Critique
Basically, the article is well-structure and provides convincing
arguments against the overconsumption of food containing trans
fat. In this respect, it is important to underline that the
author provides not only criticism of trans fat and fast food,
but he also suggests alternative ways of nutrition which are
less harmful for human health.
On the other hand, the author presents the problem of negative
effect of trans fat on human health and cardiovascular system
as a problem that dates back a couple of decades ago that
may evoke alternative explanations of the development of cardiovascular
diseases, for instance, the change of lifestyle. In such a
way, it is possible to put under a question his conclusions.
At this point, the author should present a problem as a long-run
6. Practical application
This article can be very helpful for understanding contemporary
food habits and trends and their evolution since 1980s. The
article also reveals negative effects of trans fat and indicates
possible ways of the prevention or minimization of their consumption.
1. Bibliographic information:
Mozaffarian, D. et al. (April, 13, 2006). "Trans fatty
acids and cardiovascular disease." The New England Journal
of Medicine, 354(15), 1601-1613.
2. Purpose of the study
The authors focus specifically on the effects of trans fat
on cardiovascular system and cardiovascular health of people.
In addition, they attempt to reveal beneficial effects of
the consumption of trans fat.
3. Summary of methods and procedure
Basically, the authors study effects of trans fat on cardiovascular
health by means of the physiological analysis. They analyze
trans fat and its effect on molecular and physiological level.
At the same time, they do not only focus on positive or negative
effect of trans fat, but also they provide recommendations
on the nutrition and minimization of trans fat consumption.
4. Key findings/results of the study
The researchers conclude that the consumption of trans food
does not have beneficial effects on cardiovascular system.
In stark contrast, they may be very harmful for human health.
Eventually, they recommend avoiding the consumption of trans
fat in order to minimize the risk of the development of a
cardiovascular disease.
5. Critique
The research represents a profound physiological analysis
of the impact of trans fat on human health, especially on
cardiovascular system. In such a way, the article provides
a detailed, scientifically grounded information on the mechanism
of the impact of trans fat on cardiovascular system.
On the other hand, the research leaves room for doubt whether
trans fat is harmful or not, because even in the conclusion,
the researches state that there is no beneficial effects,
while harm is possible that means that the effect of trans
fat may be not harmful. At this point, it would be better
to warn about the threat of overconsumption and recommend
the diet containing the minimal amount of trans fat.
6. Practical application
The article is useful as a source of ample information on
physiological characteristics and effects of trans fat. In
addition, it provides information on beneficial effects of
the reduction of trans fat.
