He had lesions in his throat, a rash that caused his skin to slide off, and he began bleeding from his ears, eyes and nose. He was diagnosed with Johnson-·Stevens syndrome, an immune-system condition in which the body attacks its own mucous membranes. Secondary infections soon set in, and that 's whet) Mary Fran arrived: "There was a body on the table with a sheet over the middle of it, but it didn't look human," she said. ''He was in rough shape." She was no stranger to tragedy, having lost four children in infancy. "I've crossed that bridge, but they . were babies, not someone I had raised for I8 years," she said. " Boy, there were a lot of prayers." A priest was summoned and he gave Kudla the last blessing. Lombardo said about I0 percent of Johnson-Stevens syndrome patients don.'t · make it "if they have extensive involvement, and he did." . Mar.y Fran did not leave Mike 's side for 10 days as doctors mixed and matched a drug treatment that would slowly bring him back from the edge. . Mike doesn ' t remember much from those days. "I can recall stuff from it,'" he said. "but as sick as I was and the amount of medicati on I was on, it was one of those situations you just don 't want to remember it.

Mary Fran brought him back to Columbus that spring . "That was a tough day," she said. "He may be a big guy. but he"s still my baby." Though his coaches had been kept up to date on Mike 's condition, his appearance was still a shock. "'When he first showed up at the office. he had lost a lot of weight and was not real good looking." defensive line coach Jim Heacock said. Soon, the body was back . Kudla set team ~ench-press records, but it didn't translate to success on the field. He showed !lashes of bigplay ability, but injuri es kept holding him back.

It showed. Kudla became an important force . off the edge for OSU, leading the team's defensive linemen in tackles for loss (8 1/2) and sacks (6 1/2). Among his tackles was a stop on memorable Minnesota running back Laurence Maroney on follrthand-2, when Kudla used a burst of speed and his strength to grab Maroney with one arm and drag him I "All year, the only thing we've been missing is a touchdown." Holcomb played another impressive game in the stadium where he 's had some ·of his best moments. Holcomb threw for five touchdowns and a career-high 4"13 yards in Cleveland's 58-48 loss at , Paul Brown Stadium last season. Filling in a second straight week for injured J.P. Losman, Holcomb became the first Bills quarterback in the last 45 games to throw for 300 yards, ending a drought that started after Drew Bledsoe passed for 314 in the second game of the 2003 season. McGee clinched it by picking off Carson Palmer's sidedown shon of the ·marker. "He is an explosive guy, he's a high-motor guy," coach · Jim Tressel said.

Meanwhile. off the field, Kudla underwent ·a more subtle transformation . Anyone who dodges death is never quite the same.

Mary Fran said Mike went to the s~hool where she works this past offseason "and signed 500 autographs without complaining for a minute, then gave (the kids) an encquraging speech." He enjoys fishing with hi s friends. One day; he picked ·up a guitar and began teaching himself how to play. Two years later, it has become "a massive hobby," he said. · "I love playing guitar.

For me; that's my release." . He'll likely take hi s guitar to an NFL city in the spring, and that thrills him because playing in the NFL was a childhood dream. But though it seems like a long time ago now and he doesn't talk about it often, hi s .illness will always remain a pan of him . Maybe it really is true, that what doe sn' t kill you makes you stronger. "It definitely does," Kudla said.

Survivors relived the terrible awe they felt when the sea rose as high as 33 feet and surged inland for miles with seemingly unstoppable force, carrying along trees, houses, train cars - and thousands people - in a churning rush.

Dozens of powerful aftershocks have rattled the region since last year's magnitude-9 quake, keeping people anxious about the possibility of another tsunami. Somber ceremonies were held around the world. In Sri Lanka, President Mahinda Rajapakse met with survivors near the site of the deadly train accident. Butchers hung up their knives to show respect for life, and Buddhist monks chanted prayers· through the night. Thousands of Indians attended an interfaith service at an 18th century church, then.marched to a mass burial ground. Sweden, Germany, Finland and other European countries held memorials to mourn their dead. The tsunami killed more than 2,400 for.eigners, many of them European tourists, in Thailand.

Bob Taft wants to make sure high school diplomas really mean something. . Early next year, Taft will propose ways to improve students' skills as they leave high school and head to college and the work force. The governor isn't releasing details of his plan but says it will mirror recommendations before a committee of teachers, professors, business people and lawmakers he convened this fall to focus on producing better prepared students. "The most important issue continues to be education, both for opportunity and also for our business climate," Taft said in an interview. "Because today we compete with the world on the basis of the talents ·and skills of our workers more than any other single factor," he said. Taft said he'll announce specifics in the State of the State speech scheduled for late January or early February. Earlier this month, the Ohio Board of Regents reponed that 41 percent of ihe state's high school graduates enrolled in public universities in Ohio in fall 2003 took at least one remedial math or English Class their first year. That was an increase from 38 percent in 2000.
