Follow @walterfootball for updates.
- New York Giants (6-2) - Previously: #1 - I expected New York to lose to Dallas, so I'm not moving them out of No. 1 despite being inches away from suffered a third defeat. The Giants are still the best team in the NFL, in my opinion.
All Giant fans will undoubtedly love this image from Sunday's victory over the pathetic Cowboys:
- Atlanta Falcons (7-0) - Previously: #5 - The Falcons move up with a very impressive showing at Philadelphia. It appears as though the team just needed the bye to recalibrate.
Oh, and acquiring yet another Philadelphia cornerback helped, of course. If you haven't heard, the Falcons traded for Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie. What? You're not seeing that story on Twitter or Google News? But it's true. Dick Stockton said so Sunday! I remember the exact quote: "Matt Ryan... swing pass to Rodgers. Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie tackled by Nate Allen!"
Great job by Mike Smith utilizing DRC on offense. I can't believe Andy Reid didn't try that.
- Houston Texans (6-1) - Previously: #3 - The Texans are coming off a bye, so I can talk about the Falcons-Eagles game some more. As you may know, this is the first time that Andy Reid has lost after a bye. This was a momentous occasion, so I had to call Reid up for an interview about this:
Me: Hey Andy, thanks for agreeing to do this interview.
Andy Reid: Umm... uhh... no problem, Walt, hem, hem...
Me: I'm sorry about your first post-bye loss. You must be terribly upset. I was surprised, quite frankly. I heard you gave a pre-game speech to your team, which is something you normally don't do. Can you tell us how that went?
Andy Reid: Oh... hem, hem... sure... uhh... injuries... uhh... Jason Kelce... still out... hem, hem...
Me: Wait, no, I was asking for you to tell me what your pre-game speech was.
Andy Reid: Jason Peters... still out... uhh...
Me: No, Andy, I want to hear your pre-game speech!
Andy Reid: Danny Watkins... doubtful... umm... that's all the injuries... hem, hem... uhh... time's yours...
Me: Wait, was this your pre-game speech? You just read off the injury report just like you do at the start of every single post-game press conference you've been a part of in your 14-year career?
Andy Reid: No, there were other things, man. Uhh... umm... I take full responsibility... uhh... I need to put the players in a better situation... hem, hem...
Me: But that's exactly what you say after the game every time!
Andy Reid: That's something I need to work on... hem, hem... umm... I need to do a better job of coaching... uhh... now let's go out there and play a game, hem, hem...
Me: That was the most depressing pre-game speech I ever heard. No wonder the Falcons came out with a 16-play, 80-yard touchdown on your pathetic defense.
- Chicago Bears (6-1) - Previously: #4 - If you missed it on my NFL Picks page, some lunatic Bears' fan ranted about how I didn't slot his team No. 1:
YOU EFF-AGS AT WALTER SOCCER (YOU DONT DESERVE THE FOOTBALL NAME), YOU F-CKIN EURO TRASH, W-I-L-L BOW DOWN TO THE ALMIGHTY BEARS WHEN ITS ALL SAID AND DONE. YOU DONT HAVE TO LIKE CHICAGO. BUT YOU WILL FEAR AND RESPECT THE BEARS, YOU GREEN BAY BABY DICK GOBBLING F@GGOTS. BEARDOWN ON ALL YOU H0MOS POINT DIFFERENTIAL DONT LIE B1TCH. BEARS ARE #1, PURE DOMINANCE. ONE LUCKY LOSS ON THE ROAD TO A DESPERATE SLACKERS TEAM WHO HAD TO RESORT TO A FAKE FG TD AND REF HELP...means SH1T SUPER BEARS SUPER BOWL B1TCH, DEAL WITH IT
I have no idea where he gets "Euro trash" from because I was born in America, but he probably eats the "peanut butter" that he scoops out of his buttocks, so I won't take too much offense. I do wonder though if he still feels the same way after his team nearly lost to the pathetic Panthers.
- Green Bay Packers (5-3) - Previously: #2 - I'm dropping the Packers because of all their injuries. By the way, they shouldn't trade for Steven Jackson or DeAngelo Williams. Yes, they need running back help, but they have bigger fish to fry in terms of their defense. They made Blaine Gabbert look like a semi-decent quarterback. Yes, this guy:
- San Francisco 49ers (6-2) - Previously: #6 - Here's a recap of 49ers 24, Cardinals 3:
- This night was incredibly annoying; not just because I lost two units on the pathetic Cardinals, but because I had to drive to my parents' house to watch this game. Hurricane Sandy knocked out my power, and as you may have seen on Twitter (@walterfootball, I went PECO.com to check my status. Here's what I saw:
So, either 2011 years in the past or 7989 years in the future. Great.
Oh, and to make matters even worse, I needed Larry Fitzgerald to get over the goal line at the very end to win one of my fantasy leagues. FML.
- The Cardinals are pathetic. They struggled to do anything. The offensive line couldn't block for either LaRod Stephens-Howling or John Skelton. When Skelton had time, he failed to find open receivers because the 49ers rushed four most of the time. The defense couldn't tackle the San Francisco running backs or cover the wideouts. It was so bad that even the decrepit Randy Moss scored a touchdown, as he easily evaded several Arizona poor tacklers.
- The 49ers, meanwhile, absolutely dominated. The final score could've been an even wider margin had guard Alex Boone not committed a face mask on a good-looking opening drive. The only blemish for San Francisco was the four sacks the offensive line allowed. Alex Smith, who was 18-of-19 for 232 yards and three touchdowns, said afterward that he should have thrown more incompletions to avoid those sacks.
- Two of Smith's scores went to Michael Crabtree (5-72) who had a big game because Patrick Peterson couldn't tackle. Peterson slipped on one of the touchdowns. The other, as mentioned, went to Moss.
- John Skelton was awful. He finished 32-of-52 for 290 yards and an interception. The stats are inflated by garbage-time yardage. He didn't have much of a chance behind an awful offensive line that simply just didn't block the 49ers on several occasions. It was ridiculous how they let the San Francisco defenders just run by.
- Fitzgerald, who missed out on the aforementioned touchdown, caught five balls for 53 yards. He appeared to suffer a concussion at the end of the first quarter, but came back on the field on the next drive.
- New England Patriots (5-3) - Previously: #7 - Hey, can you believe that the British people were rooting for the Patriots, huh huh huh???
I have to say that I loved Rob Gronkowski's touchdown dance. That'll easily win the celebration award on this site in February - and he sealed it by saying he was imitating the "nutcracker guys who defend the house."
- Denver Broncos (4-3) - Previously: #8 -
Denver has a chance to finish 11-5, maybe even 12-4 with its ridiculously soft schedule. We won't know how good the Broncos are in that stretch, but it'll give time for Peyton Manning to heal while they secure enough victories to get a first-round bye.
- Pittsburgh Steelers (4-3) - Previously: #9 - Ben Roethlisberger was unstoppable against the Redskins. I guess he listened to the advice of Cris Carter, who incoherently shouted the following a few weeks ago when the Steelers were struggling: "Big Ben need to get better, Key! Big Ben need to get better, Boom! Big Ben need to get better, Tommy!" Nice job, Cris.
The Steelers, as a whole, will get better when they get all of their players back.
- Seattle Seahawks (4-4) - Previously: #10 - This might be the last time I rank the Seahawks in the top 10. A home loss to the Vikings would plummet them to the 16-20 range. So, with that being said, I have to include an amusing picture sent over by Travis J:
2012 NFL Power Rankings: Week 9 - Bottom 10
32. Kansas City Chiefs (1-6) - Previously: #31 - History is about to be made. Brady Quinn is the first quarterback to be featured twice in the same season of Adventures of Derek Anderson's Magic Flask!
Derek Anderson: Heyyyyzzz yeewwww quaarrrbbaaacckkk wiiittthh hawwwtt sisstturr hic! Yewww prommusssed meeee datteee wiitthh hoottt sisssturrr buutt wheere iss sheee? Yewww wannn fiiighgt?
Brady Quinn: Ow! I just suffered a head injury! I can't be here, I'm sorry, I'm sorry!
Derek Anderson: Wuuutt?
Brady Quinn: Ouch! I just had yet another head injury. Please tell Romoe Crennel so I don't have to play anymore! Pllleeeeaaasseeee!!!
Derek Anderson: I dunnn carreeee abbbouuttt yooourrr heeaadd!!! Wheereeess hoott sisstuurrr!!?!?!?
Brady Quinn: This is causing me too much stress! Oh man, there's another head injury! I guess I can't answer your question!
Derek Anderson: Heyyy waaiitt weerrunnt yeewww my teemammmatee innn Cleveellann??
Brady Quinn: I've endured so many head injuries over the years that I just don't know! Oh boy, there goes another one!
31. Jacksonville Jaguars (1-6) - Previously: #32 - Chapter 9 of Mike Mularkey's upcoming book, 101 Ways to Lose a Football Game After Establishing a Big Lead:
Fourth downs are a key part of a football game. Choosing the correct play is extremely important. Some coaches emphasize pounding the rock with a powerful running back. Others think that a play-action strike is best.
All of these options are incorrect and are made my amateur play-callers. The best option on fourth-and-short situations is to have your quarterback roll out, drop eight yards back and fire a pass out of bounds.
There no possible repercussions. If you run the ball, you risk a fumble. If you pass the ball, there could be an interception. Using my strategy ensures that there won't be a give-away 100 percent of the time.
30. Cleveland Browns (2-6) - Previously: #30 - Facebook friend Steve V. posted the following on my wall prior to the season: "Holmgren went on local radio this week and stated that the Browns will never pick below #4 for years to come."
Perhaps he meant that HE would never pick below No. 4.
29. Carolina Panthers (1-6) - Previously: #28 - I love how the Panthers are fielding offers for DeAngelo Williams. I can only imagine their new general manager, sitting and waiting by his phone...
*** Saturday Morning ***
New GM: Oh boy, I can't wait for all these trade offers to come in for DeAngelo Williams!
*** Sunday Morning ***
New GM: Why has no one called yet? Must be Hurricane Sandy. Who wouldn't want a running back averaging 3.4 yards per carry and making more than $5 million per year!?
*** Monday Morning ***
New GM: DeAngelo Williams just rushed for 33 yards on 11 carries. All of the teams will want him now! I can't wait for the phone to ring!
*** Tuesday Morning ***
New GM: Why isn't the phone ringing!??!?! Doesn't anyone realize how great DeAngelo Williams is!?!?!?
*** Wednesday Morning ***
New GM: Phone... no rings... why isn't... the phone ringing... I'm... I... Uhh...
*** Thursday Morning ***
New GM: It's all clear to me. No one is calling about DeAngelo Williams because Ron Rivera and Cam Newton are preventing it. I must... I must eliminate them. Yes... I'll dispose of them quickly and quietly, and then everyone will want to trade for DeAngelo Williams...
28. Oakland Raiders (3-4) - Previously: #29 - How sad is it that the Raiders are just one game out in BOTH the divisional race and wild card positioning? It's unbelievably amazing how terrible the AFC is.
27. Buffalo Bills (3-4) - Previously: #26 - I received this e-mail from Mark K:
Your Bills mock draft is wrong.
The Bills draft should be as follows:
Round 1
QB Tyler Bray
Round 2
QB E.J. Manuel
Round 3
QB Mike Glennon
Round 4
QB Landry "Lance" Jones
Round 5
QB Derek Carr
Round 6
QB Dayne Crist it is a reach
Round 7
They already have Tavaris Jackson
With Fitzpatrick, Thigpen and Brad Smith it will be 10 quarterbacks on the roster. One of them has to be good enough to start.
26. Tennessee Titans (3-5) - Previously: #25 - Vince Young recently tried out for the Cardinals, so it's time for the Adventures of Stupid Vince and Senile Bud! In this week's episode...
Bud Adams: I can't believe we lost in overtime to the Colts. Man servant, come hither!
Vince Young: Derrr, I dunno who Heather is she girl ha?
Bud Adams: Who's Heather? Man servant, is this your new girlfriend?
Vince Young: Derrr, I have girlfriend? I dunno even know dis.
Bud Adams: Man servant, sometimes you really confuse me. Why did I call you in here in the first place?
Vince Young: I tink you say you losted to Colted ha.
Bud Adams: We played the Colts and lost? Damn that Peyton Manning and all of his commercials. If he ever happens to hit free agency, I'm going to make sure I get him - no matter what it takes. If I have to give him part of the franchise or cheat the salary cap, I'll do it.
Vince Young: Derrr, I already tink that Peytons is free agents and sign with Broncies.
Bud Adams: Broncos? Impossible. John Elway is their quarterback. Get your head in the game, man servant.
Vince Young: OK but I dunno how to put head in game ha do I walk on field and put head on grass?
Bud Adams: Head on your a**? What are you, some sort of freak, man servant? Get out of here and let me be for the rest of the day.
25. Indianapolis Colts (4-3) - Previously: #27 - What I said about the Raiders applies here. The Colts are actually tied for one of the wild card spots despite losing to both the Jaguars and the Jets. This is going to make for some great betting opportunities in the first round of the AFC playoffs.
24. New York Jets (3-5) - Previously: #22 - Tebow time? No, it was Tebow time in the preseason. The Jets were stupid for not making the move back then and they're even dumber for their homoclitic decision not to bench Mark Sanchez now. Does Rex Ryan really believe that Sanchez gives him the best chance of winning? If so, why even bring in Tebow if you're not going to give him a chance? As my friend and forum member Body Burner once said, "Fat Rex Ryan was so much better than Skinny Rex Ryan."
23. Cincinnati Bengals (3-4) - Previously: #23 - I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Matthew Berry for his great fantasy football advice Sunday morning. In consecutive weeks, he gave us Felix Jones and Philip Rivers as fantasy sleepers. Yeah, I mean, casual fans have never heard of those two guys and would never think about starting them until they saw you list them as sleepers.

That Browns' picture made my day - almost as good as the one with the woman whose Browns jersey has the names of all Cleveland QBs from Couch down to Hoyer...hmmm, add Campbell to that list.

I will always say that I hold my breath when Cam throws the ball because I am realistic about my chosen team. Still, I think he's more butt-hurt about losing $990 the last two weeks with his bets against the Panthers.

"Fixed" Game. Nothing was "fixed" it shouldn't have come down to the last play to begin with.
What is funny is Carolina winning the Patriot way. By getting a questionable call and the ironic Pats fans complaining about the Refs when their team made their name by questionable calls.

I don't wanna sound like I'm bashing you Walt because I respect you a lot. But the 49ers seriously? I just don't get why you rank them so highly, they can hardly move the ball at the moment on offense!!!

Why are the Texans who have lost 8 in a row and who have on of the most unstable QB situation in the league ranked ahead of the Raiders and Browns who have looked better this season? Is it just because the Texans were better than both teams the previous few seasons?

I love seeing all of this hate in the comments section. WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?! You hate everything he puts together, yet you still visit his site. Like Walt says, if you want rankings based off records, go to ESPN because that's exactly how their power rankings are set up. If you all know football so much better, give me a link to your site where you analyze football better than him. Oh, you don't have one? STFU!
umm.. Wat?

If Chiefs lose, even by 3 points, drops Chiefs out of top 10 bragging "See I told you the Chiefs were overrated".
If Chiefs win, he moves them up to no. 7 saying "Oh, the only reason the Chiefs won is because Peyton was clearly affected by his injury. The Chiefs would have lost if Peyton hadn't suffered that injury

Oh yeah, forgot to state that I am a KC native with Chiefs season tickets and it pains me to post that they will lose Sunday but I am a realist.

Tags: death
I think that we often disregard the old lessons left to us by great writers and philosophers because the bible is so prevalent that all that came before was nearly silenced. Think about Achilles from 'The Illiad'. Is Achilles dead? or Homer, for that matter? Achilles chose to die in order to live forever in our hearts.
Socrates did the same in order for his message to live on.
Sure, we have an allotted lifetime but look into the eyes of your children and you'll see yourself. Look at the building you designed or the book you wrote. Even simpler things than that can live on such as some brief but helpful advice to a young person who may go on to do great things. Those great things may produce even longer lasting results.
It's quite possible that all this religion around us has conditioned us to feel fear of what's beyond when the electricity no longer causes our brain to function. I figure that life is what it is and the time we're here is better to focus on.
Sorry to hear about your dad.
Try this with your family... Remember when dad was here and 'he' or 'we' etc...
If the conversation goes toward death then change the subject. Maybe enough times of that might help them accept it too.
It's the best way I know to keep someone alive in my heart.
this thing is hard
lots of people block this subject out of their minds
others find solace in religion and other spiritual systems that promise endless life in some shape or form
i frankly don't know how i am going to survive the deaths of my parents
maybe only by reminding myself im also finite and someday the whole circus will end for me as well)
Not necessary only available to the rich and powerful. Washing machines where only available to the rich and powerful. The same happened to computers and any other technology.
We will one day all be immortal except for catastrophic accidents.
The first immortals in such a sense might already be alive today.
I agree with the rest of your post and also agree that it will probably only be available to the rich and powerful at the beginning.
Elderly people are a nuisance. It's best to hand them over to the welfare state for processing and forget about them. This may seem a callous way to treat relatives who will not be seen again but I don't care.
it is just not right to just leave the people that raised ypu behind.Why not? If they truly are a nuisance I treat them with the same disrespect as I treat non-elderly nuisances. However, most elderly people I gathered around me are no nuisance, but wise, experienced people with allot to teach me. So I do not fully agree with Napoleon... although I suspect he is trolling somewhat. ;)

Mobile email is big, and getting bigger. By 2015, more US internet users will access the web through mobile devices than through PCs.
The mobile email numbers are even more indicative of a seismic shift in web behavior. comScore found that while web-based email declined significantly throughout 2010, mobile email surged 36% from the prior year.
As consumers are increasingly browsing, shopping, and interacting with brands on the go, mobile commerce presents a powerful opportunity.

According to figures released today, Android has doubled its market share of worldwide smartphone sales in Q3 of 2011.

Wearing a fedora, bespoke Hong Kong suit, and shirts with "007" embroidered on the breast pocket, Tomi Ahonen stands out in a crowd.
A former Nokia executive, and almost certainly the most prolific business writer to fixate on monetizing mobile technology, Tomi has been writing about mobile marketing since 2002.
He has written the first business book on 3G: m-Profits: Making Money from 3G Services, and more recently The Insiders Guide to Mobile.
Tomi explains why mobile marketers shouldn't obsess over apps, but start with the basics...

Some of the most interesting data to be added to the Europe edition of our Internet Statistics Compendium this month focuses on how children are using the internet across the continent.
As social networking becomes more commonplace among adults and mobile technologies give all users more opportunity to get online without computer access, how are children responding to increased connectivity and more pull factors to use digital services?

We're living in a multi-platform retail environment and that's a great thing for marketers, mostly.
On the one hand, there's a wide variety of ways to interact with people and drive sales. If a potential customer doesn't respond positively to emails, they may be more willing to connect with your firm on Facebook, for example.
But the downside is that consumers have far higher expectations, particularly of the bigger brands. If you aren't catering to their platform of choice, you risk frustrating them and devaluing your company.
Here are a few of the main platforms your customers may expect you to be actively using – and how you can meet their expectations.

Calendar management with Sunbird
Mozilla Sunbird may be just what you need to help you manage your appointments and tasks on Linux.
The Firefox web browser and the Thunderbird email client are standard applications on Linux. Both programs are developed and maintained by the Mozilla Foundation. Mozilla also has the fairly young and virtually unknown calendar application called Sunbird [1]. The stable 0.5 version is suitable for production use, despite the low version number.
Sunbird is the Mozilla Foundation's second calendar application, and you would be forgiven for mistaking it for its sibling Lightning. Lightning relies on the presence of Thunderbird, whereas Sunbird is a standalone application that will run on almost any Linux system.

Welcome to episode 92 of The Thrilling Adventures of Superman. The show's mission is to explore the history and development of the Superman in his formative years by chronicling the Man of Steel's Golden Age adventures in comics, radio and film.
Does a lack of sight heighten the other senses? The Man of Steel better hopes so given the menace he faces as Michael looks at the 19th storyline from the radio serial. And maybe "looks" isn't the right word since the Daily Planet's crusade against a corrupt bureaucrat leads Superman into a clash with… the Invisible Man! How can our hero defeat a villain he can't even see?!

Just got in from the first night at the Island Players..Super evening the play was funny and poignant always a good combination..There is not a bad seat in the house the theatre is so small.. One of the best plays we have seen there
Small theatre puts on about 10 plays a session. All are very entertaining and enjoyable. The actors are usually local residents.
We went to see "Until Beth Do Us Part" and it was hilarious. Well acted and directed -- apparently all by volunteers. The theatre is small and comfortable and probably not a bad seat in the house.
Perfect for a nice evening at a well run community theater after a walk on the beach. We have seen a performance or two each of the last 5 years and have always enjoyed the play and the experience. We've never been disappointed and look forward to seeing as many performances as we can each year. Nice roomy, comfortable seats... More
Kudos to the myraid of volunteers for the many plays they produce yearly! The cost is of medium range and worth it! Classy and quaint theatre. The trolley stop is across the street for your return. Grab your sweetie and enjoy a night out!
The Island Players Community Theater offers a wide variety of plays. While not of the same quality found in a large city theater group, the Island Players ticket prices are very reasonable and, for the ticket cost, Island Players provide great evening's entertainment. Whenever we are on the island, we check to see what the Island Players are offering.
Nice small venue, variety of performances. Usually pretty well done.
A local show with volunteer actors. BUT do not be fooled, they have experience in theater, and enjoy it almost as much as those that pay $15.00. Hey, this is a fun and enjoyable evening. My wife and I have attended 2-3 performances for the past ten years. Not a bad seat in the house. Just do not expect a... More
Not a bad seat in the house--play to small audiences. Shows are usually funny and well done. A bargain evening at $15
Local and good talent. Small and intimate. Good bang for your buck and a nice night out.

Whisenhunt: No major changes for Ryan Lindley
Lindley saw action in his first ever regular season NFL game last week against the Falcons when he replaced John Skelton early in the game when the Cardinals had a 13-0 lead.
Whisenhunt said today that despite Lindley being a rookie, he doesn't plan on shrinking the playbook for the young quarterback.
"Not necessarily for him," Whisenhunt said. "I don't think he's uncomfortable with what we're doing from a schematic standpoint or the number of plays that we have."
Lindley was 9-of-20 for 64 yards against Atlanta, and he's trying to lead an offense that's ranked No. 31 overall and No. 30 in passing.
Whisenhunt says that if there are any changes to the play-calling or the playbook, it might be more about the offense and less about the quarterback.
"I think we're trying to do better at a lot of the things we do offensively." said Whisenhunt. "I don't necessarily think scaling back is the right thing. We're trying to do the things that we do well, better, and do more of those things."
The Cardinals remember their last matchup with the Rams this season very well. Arizona was 4-0 before getting beat by St. Louis 17-3 on October 4 -- a loss that started the current six-game slide. The Rams are also trying to end a rough stretch. They are winless in their last five games.

Great, great way to get a wonderful walk or bike ride with or without the dog! Fabulous views, lighted at night and, in good weather, great people watching, particularly on Fridays and Saturdays....day or evening.
We live close by this wonderful pedestrian bridge, and we never grow tired of it. The structure is amazing, and the setting is wonderful. Our family likes to go out near sunset and walk the bridge in the cool of the evening. To walk across and back takes less than an hour even if you take the time to stop... More
Built high atop a dam on the Arkansas River, this bike and pedestrian bridge offers a unique view of the ridges around Little Rock. It is part of the extensive bicycle paths in the Little Rock area and shows the natural beauty of the area.
Since the pedestrian walkway was placed upon the bridge this has become a popular place for bicycles and walkers alike. Good access to the area and great lighting upon the bridge at night with multicolored sequenced lighting along the bridge. Nice light show of sorts after dark. I don't care where you go anymore, it's better to travel in a... More
This is not just a bridge. It does controll the water flow, but has other features. It is a lock system to help large boats traverse the differing water levels in the river. We watched as one boat moved through the canal and the gaits closed to raise the level til he could sail out smoothly.Impressive! But it also has... More
A friend and I did a 5 mile walk on this great path. It's so nice to be away from the traffic and have such a scenic walk. The path was well-maintained and the views from the bridge are spectacular. Get outside and enjoy!!
Beautiful views from high above the river. I would like to come back and ride my bike on there trail system that goes over this bridge.
We liked our hike the bridge. Enjoyed watching a barge go thru the lock. Should have restroom facilities nearby, though.
There is a bike path that is great, 7 miles on one side of the Arkansas and 7 miles on there other right in the middle of town.
The bridge is a great place to view the river and Pinnacle Mountain. It's a long walk up or you can ride your bike. But the incline is very manageable. There's plenty of room to go around people and but can get crowded.

Sen. Jay Rockefeller has announced the witness list for his Jan. 28 hearing on the Sissonville gas line explosion.
The event, announced earlier this month, will be a field hearing of the U.S. Senate's Committee on Commerce, Science and Transportation, held to review the safety of the country's gas pipelines.
Witnesses include:
- Sue Bonham, a Sissonville resident whose home was damaged by the explosion
- Deborah Hersman, chairwoman of the National Transportation Safety Board
- Cynthia Quarterman, administrator of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration
- Susan Fleming, director of Physical Infrastructure Issues for the United States Government Accountability Office
- Jimmy Staton, executive vice president and group CEO of NiSource Gas Transmission and Storage
- Rick Kessler, president of the Pipeline Safety Trust's board
The hearing begins Monday, Jan. 28 at the Robert C. Byrd Federal Courthouse in downtown Charleston.
On Dec. 11, a 20-inch gas transmission pipeline owned by Columbia Gas ruptured and exploded, destroying several homes in the Sissonville area and scorching a quarter-mile of earth, including a large section of I-77. No one was seriously injured or killed by the blast, however.

Game changer
Samsung Electronics vows to widen gap with Apple By Kim Yoo-chul Samsung Electronics is seeking to widen its lead over the California-based Apple in smartphones as it believes the just-unveiled Galaxy S3 will be the most successful in the company's phone-making history. ``We strongly believe that the Galaxy S3 is a game changer, not just another technologically advanced model. This is the phone that Samsung has dreamed of for a long time,'' said a senior executive, Friday. It's no surprise to see Samsung showing confidence about the new Galaxy as its telecommunications unit accounted for over 70 percent of the firm's profit during the first three months of the year. As Finland's Nokia continues to give up market share, Samsung and Apple are persisting in their ``tug-of-war'' to lay claim as the world's top smartphone vendor. And as Nokia's shipments have nose-dived year-on-year in the first quarter, Samsung has emerged as the No. 1 handset vendor, globally. The company was the top smartphone seller with a 29.1 percent global share from January to April, followed by Apple with 24.2 percent, according to data from IDC, a leading market research firm. A year ago Samsung's smartphone share was 11.3 percent. ``The steep rise is mostly due to the success of the Galaxy S2. Still, some people were underestimating the success of the Galaxy S2. But this time, the situation will be totally different as the Galaxy S3 is completely new,'' the executive stressed. Apple benefited from a major launch for the iPhone 4S in China, as well as sustained demand, globally. And its gross margins continue to earn it more revenue than Samsung, despite the difference in unit shipments. ``With other companies in the midst of major strategic transitions, the contest between Apple and Samsung will bear close observation as hotly-anticipated new models are launched,'' said senior IDC analyst Ramon Limas. New design, powerful hardware The new Galaxy preempts the expected release of a new handset from Apple ― possibly the iPhone 5 ― sometime in the latter half of the year with major changes in surface design, according to industry executives. The new Galaxy's most stunning feature is its built-in face-tracking and voice-control, allowing for a more ``natural'' control system, according to Samsung. Other innovations include what the company insists is a ``more intelligent'' lock system, that keeps the screen ``awake'' when the phone's camera senses eyes watching it, rather than turning it off. The voice control system, called ``S-Voice,'' allows access to weather forecasts, web searches and scheduling, similar to iPhone's Siri system. ``The Galaxy S3 shape is nicely-designed to be curvy and natural to hold, and human as we would put it,'' said a designer who was involved in the Galaxy S3 project. Available in blue and white, the phone will be launched at the end of May, starting in Europe, with other regions to follow. Samsung Electronics said it is planning to release the phone in Korea sometime next month and added it's been in talks with major domestic carriers. ``We picked London as the venue for the Galaxy as we were aiming to take advantage of the Summer Olympics,'' said mobile chief Shin Jong-kyun during the ``Mobile Unpack Event.'' Samsung adopted a large 4.8-inch ``Super AMOLED'' screen running a resolution of 1280-by-720 pixels ― bigger than Apple's iPhone, and closer in size to the smaller end of the tablet market. The device will also support Long-Term Evolution (LTE) technology. As The Korea Times earlier reported, Samsung will release the Galaxy S3 with different specifications for different markets. In the United States, Samsung will use Qualcomm's Snapdragon S4 dual-core processor, while the company will use its own quad-core technology in Korea and Europe, another senior executive confirmed. ``The new Galaxy represents Samsung's competitiveness in smartphones. With the new iPhone that will be coming within the latter half of this year, the Galaxy S3 will become a mega hit model,'' said Baek Jong-seok, an analyst at Hyundai Securities. |

Latest update: 31/05/2010

Cell solutions
This week HEALTH looks at how stem cell therapy can make multiple sclerosis easier to live with and why a gene therapy that is used to treat cancer in China is not available elsewhere.
By Eve IRVINE
MS is an illness that has been around for decades; in fact it was first described in 1868. While the path the disease takes is now clear there is still no know cause or cure for it.
Multiple sclerosis attacks the central nervous system and develops mostly between the ages of 20 and 40. The way it affects sufferers varies, progressing rapidly at times. "Normally, our immune system protects us against foreign bodies, but with MS it turns against our own organs, and notably it attacks the myelin sheath, which coats the nerves and enables them to send impulses from the brain to other parts of the body," explains Doctor Catherine Lubetzki the President of the French MS Research Association.
The latest trial results from the UK give hope for the use of stem cell therapy to treat MS. All 6 MS sufferers in the program showed improvement. The conclusion mirrors an earlier test in the US, and so the idea grows that if it's caught early enough stem cells can, well, stem it.
However these tests are only in the preliminary stages and have been carried out on a very small test group. Yet the option of stem cells offers hope not just of preventing or slowing down the progression of MS but perhaps also of repairing the damage done by the disease. Researchers in Paris are looking at how stem cells that occur naturally in our brains might be stimulated to repair the myelin sheath.
In the absence of these stem cell solutions the only treatment available today are immuno-supressors which block the symptoms but these have some serious side effects.
Next HEALTH turns from stem cell therapy to gene therapy. Gene therapy for cancer was approved in China back in 2003 and the treatment is now attracting cancer patients from around the world as China remains the only country in the world to approve gene therapy. A drug called 'gendicine' is injected directly into the tumour. According to doctors in Beijing, it then causes the cancer cells to self destruct.
Its critics question the safety and effectiveness of the drug. They say its clinical trials didn't meet international standards. The number of patients tested was too small. But some patients claim the drug has had a miraculous effect. For example, 27-year-old Zhou Chen had a tumour in his stomach, the size of a basket ball. A year later, having followed the gene therapy he reported that the tumour was gone.
Clinical trials using this method are currently underway in the US.

More copies of this ISBNThis title in other editionsBeautiful Boy: A Father's Journey Through His Son's Addictionby David Sheff
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Sheff's story is a first: a teenager's addiction from the parent's point of view — a real-time chronicle of the shocking descent into substance abuse and the gradual emergence into hope.
Before meth, Sheff's son Nic was a varsity athlete, honor student, and award-winning journalist. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who stole money from his eight-year-old brother and lived on the streets. With haunting candor, Sheff traces the first subtle warning signs, the denial (by both child and parents), the three A.M. phone calls (is it Nic? the police? the hospital?), the attempts at rehab, and, at last, the way past addiction. He shows us that, whatever an addict's fate, the rest of the family must care for each other too, lest they become addicted to addiction. Meth is the fastest-growing drug in the United States, as well as the most addictive and the most dangerous — wreaking permanent brain damage faster than any other readily available drug. It has invaded every region and demographic in America. This book is the first that treats meth and its impact in depth. But it is not just about meth. Nic's addiction has wrought the same damage that any addiction will wreak. His story, and his father's, are those of any family that contains an addict — and one in three American families does. Review:"Expanding on his New York Times Magazine article, Sheff chronicles his son's downward spiral into addiction and the impact on him and his family. A bright, capable teenager, Nic began trying mind- and mood-altering substances when he was 17. In months, use became abuse, then abuse became addiction. By the time Sheff knew of his son's condition, Nic was strung out on meth, the highly potent stimulant. While his son struggles to get clean, his second wife and two younger children are pulled helplessly into the drama. Sheff, as the parent of an addict, cycles through denial and acceptance and resistance. The author was already a journalist of considerable standing when this painful story began to unfold, and his impulse for detail serves him personally as well as professionally: there are hard, solid facts about meth and the kinds of havoc it wreaks on individuals, families and communities both urban and rural. His journey is long and harrowing, but Sheff does not spare himself or anyone else from keen professional scrutiny any more than he was himself spared the pains — and joys — of watching a loved one struggling with addiction and recovery. Real recovery creates — and can itself be — its own reward; this is an honest, hopeful book, coming at a propitious moment in the meth epidemic." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
Review:"When David Sheff discovered marijuana in his 12-year-old son's possession, he was concerned, but not unduly alarmed. Sheff, like many others of his generation, had taken drugs in college. But the problems didn't stop there. Through the next decade, Sheff searched frantically for his son along grimy San Francisco streets, endured sleepless nights when he feared that his beloved son was dead, and enjoyed...

Review:"A clear picture of what meth addiction does to a user and those who love him that may help other families better cope with this growing problem." Kirkus Reviews
Synopsis:Sheff's story tells of his teenage son's addiction to meth, in this real-time chronicle of the shocking descent into substance abuse and the family's gradual emergence into hope.
Synopsis:What had happened to my beautiful boy? To our family? What did I do wrong? Those are the wrenching questions that haunted every moment of David Sheffs journey through his son Nics addiction to drugs and tentative steps toward recovery. Before Nic Sheff became addicted to crystal meth, he was a charming boy, joyous and funny, a varsity athlete and honor student adored by his two younger siblings. After meth, he was a trembling wraith who lied, stole, and lived on the streets. David Sheff traces the first subtle warning signs: the denial, the 3 A.M. phone calls (is it Nic? the police? the hospital?), the rehabs. His preoccupation with Nic became an addiction in itself, and the obsessive worry and stress took a tremendous toll. But as a journalist, he instinctively researched every avenue of treatment that might save his son and refused to give up on Nic. Beautiful Boy is a fiercely candid memoir that brings immediacy to the emotional rollercoaster of loving a child who seems beyond help. About the AuthorDavid Sheff's work has appeared in the New York Times, Outside, Rolling Stone, Wired, Fortune, and elsewhere. His piece for the New York Times Magazine, "My Addicted Son," generated several hundred letters from readers and won an award from the American Psychological Association for "Outstanding Contribution to Advancing the Understanding of Addiction."
