The Chicago Bears have been playing professional football since before the 1920—when the NFL was named the American Professional Football Association. Chicago had immediate success in the pros, posting winning seasons in all but two years through 1951, including NFL titles in 1921, 1932, 1933, 1940, 1941, 1943, and 1946. After success in the 1950s and another title in 1963, the Bears experienced their first struggles, failing to make the playoffs for 14 straight years. Chicago started another long string of success in the 1980s when former Bears tight end Mike Ditka became the head coach. Ditka's Bears, with star running back Walter Payton leading the way, won five straight division titles as well as Super Bowl XX. Before Ditka moved on after the 1992 season, he led the Bears to a total of seven playoff appearances in 11 years. Since Ditka's departure, Chicago has won three more division championships and reached one more Super Bowl. The Bears have retired 13 numbers and plan to retire Ditka's No. 89 in 2013. Score with TicketCity - the place to go for Chicago Bears tickets.
The Chicago Bears went 8-8 last season, mostly due to a lack of defense. While the Windy City is usually known for its stout defense, 2013 certainly did not live up to that. However, the offense was tremendous. Even with Jay Cutler down for the count, Josh McCown was able to step up a lead the team down the field. Alshon Jeffrey proved himself to be one of the best receivers in the NFL, along with what we already knew about Brandon Marshall and Matt Forte. The Browns have also added Domenik Hixon and Josh Morgan to Cutler's arsenal of weapons, and picked up Jared Allen and Lamarr Houston to help terrorize opposing quarterbacks. The Bears will begin their season by welcoming in the Buffalo Bills to Soldier Field before heading away for games in San Francisco and New York (Jets). The big game in Chicago against the Packers in is Week 4, while the Bears will travel to Lambeau in Week 10.
Check out our Chicago Bears Season Preview History page for previews of previous Bears seasons.
The Bears play their home games at Soldier Field,located in Chicago, Illinois. Chicago has been playing its home games at Soldier Field since 1971, but in 2003 renovated the historic stadium to improve the venue for its fans. Soldier Field holds 61.5 thousand screaming fans when filled to capacity. With one of the closest front row seats in all of the NFL, Soldier Field provides fans with the lure of an historic stadium as well as the amenities expected of a state-of-the-art NFL facility. Chicago Bears home bench is on the Soldier Field sideline with sections 130-144, so look for Chicago Bears tickets near these sections. Soldier Field parking information is covered in our Bears event guide.
Green Bay Packers, Minnesota Vikings, Detroit Lions
These two historic franchises have established an historic rivalry. The rivalry may be heated, but there is also mutual respect that has come from matching up against each other over 185 times. With 20+ NFL Championships, these two franchises stand near the top of NFL primacy.
With over 100 meetings between these two teams, this rivalry has been almost evenly matched throughout the years. As division foes, this matchup often has a lot on the line and the rivalry will only continue to get better as the years go on.
This rivalry began in 1930 and has over 165 meetings between the two teams. This matchup has always been about cheap shots and trash talk and that will only continue as these two teams face each other two times a year.
The Bears have established themselves as one of the premier NFL franchises since they began in 1920. With a Super Bowl title, multiple conference championships, and over 20 playoff appearances, the Bears will only add to their legacy. The Bears also hold the record of most players being elected to the Hall of Fame.
There are three major parking options at Soldier Field. To the south of the stadium, on the south side of Waldron Drive, is the Waldron Garage, which extends all the way to 18th Street. To the south of 18th Street is the South Lot, which is the largest open air parking option in the area. To the north of the stadium is the North Garage, which sits in-between Soldier Field and E McFetridge Drive. Outside of these three parking locations are a few smaller parking options. On the north side of E McFetridge Drive at the corner of Museum Campus Drive is a smaller parking lot. Another small lot is located on the east side of Burnham Harbor just south of Solidarity Drive. There are also a few L Stations in the area, which will allow you to forgo the hassle of driving and parking.
Chicago Bears season tickets are available to buy until kickoff of their home opener. Check our listings above or call us if you would like to purchase Chicago Bears season tickets. Let us know if you want a particular section at Soldier Field.

Latest Specter Supercar Bows At Sema
The latest Specter Werkes/Sports Corvette GTR debuted November 3 at the annual Specialty Equipment Market Association (SEMA) Show in Las Vegas. Distinguished by its unique BASF Pearl Blue exterior color and HRE CF40 carbon-fiber wheels, the newest GTR is based on the Corvette Z06 and represents a collaboration between Specter Werkes and Lingenfelter Performance Engineering. A Lingenfelter twin-turbo system powers the car, pumping its 7.0-liter LS7 engine to 800 horsepower.
"Specter GTRs have been featured at SEMA for many years, and we're excited to have debuted the most unique example to date at this year's show," said Jeff Nowicki, president of Specter Werkes/Sports. "There's never been a GTR like this one, and we think it will resonate with sports-car enthusiasts of all stripes."
Featuring dramatic bodywork and carbon-fiber details, the GTR blends racing-inspired design cues with uncompromising luxury and performance. The package is available on all C6 Corvette models, including the base coupe and convertible, the Z06, and the ZR1. The new Pearl Blue example's carbon-fiber wheels and other carbon accents are complemented by a matte-black rear fascia.
The use of HRE carbon-fiber wheels is a first on a GTR. They weigh only 22 pounds apiece and are wrapped in Michelin Pilot Sport PS2 Zero Pressure tires. Additional features on the new GTR include:
StopTech STR big-brake package, featuring six-piston front calipers and four-piston rear calipers
• Mobil 1 synthetic fluids
• Corsa exhaust system with GTR-specific exhaust tips
• Spinneybeck hand-tipped leather interior accents
• Matte-finish carbon-fiber accents, including the headlamp
housing, front splitter, outside mirrors, and more. For more information, visit www.spectergtr.com.
Accessorized Grand Sport Unveiled
Released late last summer, the 2010 Corvette Grand Sport is a track-oriented edition equipped with wider wheels and tires, special suspension tuning, and unique exterior details. The car achieves a 0-60 time of less than four seconds, pulls 1.0 g on the skidpad, and still boasts an EPA-rated highway fuel economy of 26 mpg.
The version pictured here was displayed at the SEMA show, where it introduced a host of new Grand Sport accessories. These items included the following:
• Mesh inserts for the front-fender vents
• ZR1-style front splitter and rear spoiler (painted satin black)
• ZR1-style rocker extensions and wheel spats (painted satin black)
• Body-color door handles and license-plate frame
• Tinted dark-chrome fender badges
• "Tech" pattern engine cover with red-letter inserts
• Grand Sport logo hood blanket
• Grand Sport logo floor mats and leather console cover
• Red-stitched shifter knob/boot and red parking-brake boot
• "Tech" pattern interior-trim kit
• PAL iPod connector
• Convertible windscreen
• Racing-style pedal covers
• Interior storage pouches
These accessories are expected to go on sale early this year, and will be available through any Chevrolet or other authorized GM dealer.

the post title is "Which tool secures my internet connection?"
"Can anyone suggest how can I secure my computer when I surf the Internet"
"Most basic is a proxy https://en.wikipedia...ki/Proxy_server"
Could you please explain your logic here where a proxy or vpn or tor secures your computer? Secures it from what? Now with the use of the proxy, if it was doing filtering - then sure it could secure your computer from bad sites. Code can be verified by the proxy, ie any viruses, bad sciprts, etc. So DEPENDING on what proxy your using this could be the case where your computer is more secure than not using one. But then again if your using some fly by night proxy to hide, it could be even the opposite. They could inject crap! They could be tracking everything your doing, they could be redirecting you through other sites for your searches, etc. etc.. So that sort of blanket statement can be very misleading to a user - just because your using some proxy does not by default make your computer more secure. What proxy are you using has to be asked - are you using a company run proxy as the only way out of a network? Or some random one you found by searching on the internet so you could bypass some restriction based on ip, etc.
As to VPN - this normally does nothing then route your traffic differently. Can it hide your traffic from the local network/isp - sure. But not sure I would consider that securing his computer. He would still be open to bad code on sites for example. And depending on the vpn service in use - you could be opening up yourself up to privacy concerns - since you might be hiding your traffic from your local/isp network, but your also now routing ALL traffic through some VPN provider - do you trust them?
Tor is would be the same a vpn in this case - only your routing your traffic through many different connections, but there is nothing securing your computer from what you hit when you come out the other end of the tor network.
The OP post is so vague that it makes it almost impossible to answer with any sort of actual useful advice. Secure his computer from WHAT is the piece of information that is missing.

If you have enabled Hyper-V, DXVA will be corrupted in many circumstances.
The most common symptoms are no picture, or a green picture displayed. Try using a third party video player with DXVA disabled to determine if this is the issue you're experiencing.
If it is, you can use a video player with DXVA disabled, and also disable hardware acceleration in Flash. Or, uninstall Hyper-V.
Posted 15 August 2012 - 22:10
that's more than likely the video driver
When i close the laptop and reopening it, it shows blackscreen again i have to shutdown the PC
hmm, i can see how that'd be annoying.
All videos play fine in VLC, it's a slight annoyance because sometimes I have record video games and use Movie Maker to edit them, Movie Maker only gets a black screen and audio with any video footage too. I ignored the issue in the CP and RP because they were just betas, now this is RTM I can't ignore them anymore.
Posted 15 August 2012 - 22:44
Is there any Safe Boot mode? I tried F8 during start, no luck.
Posted 15 August 2012 - 22:45
so it's been that way since the previews? (on your end)
Posted 16 August 2012 - 06:10
Yea, never had the issue with Windows 7, did a clean install of the Consumer Preview, the issue struck, later did a clean install of Release Preview, the issue was still present. Done a clean install of Windows 8 Pro now, and the issue is still here.
Posted 16 August 2012 - 07:54
Do you have Hyper-V enabled?
If so, this is likely causing your issue with video. Your options are to let the issue persist, or disable Hyper-V.
Without Hyper-V enabled, I haven't heard of any issues playing video.

The PBS television show Dinosaur Train is enjoying a successful run as one of modern preschoolers' favorite shows. It pairs two of their favorite things—trains and dinosaurs—and follows an adorable young tyrannosaurus named Buddy as he discovers the differences between dinosaur species. During each episode of the show, Buddy and his adoptive family of pteranodons travel on the Dinosaur Train to meet different dinosaurs and explore different prehistoric time periods. But one of the aspects of this show that makes it so great is the depth of actual scientific knowledge it offers for kids. And "Dr. Scott" has a lot to do with that.
Dr. Scott D Sampson is a paleontologist, evolutionary biologist, and educator who appears as the trusted expert at the end of every Dinosaur Train episode. After Buddy and his family have had their adventures, Dr. Scott appears on the scene to help young viewers wrap up the content of the episode into a cohesive concept. With the help of a few small children who answer his science questions onscreen, Dr. Scott closes the show with a solid "take it home" element that many children's shows simply don't have. It's nice have an expert on board the Dinosaur Train!
If your kids have not seen Dinosaur Train, check it out! The Dinosaur Train storybook, I Am A T. Rex, is a good introduction to the show's concept. And, in addition to television programming, you can order a few DVDs here. What kid wouldn't enjoy learning more about prehistoric animals with the help of both the sweet dinosaurs on the show and the resident expert, Dr. Scott? It's only a matter of time before your kids become experts themselves and you'll need them to explain the difference between the Triassic, Jurassic, and Cretaceous time periods!

To hear my children tell it, we are living in the only household in America that still (insert loud child sighing, right here) doesn't own a Nintendo Wii. I am a monster, I tell you.
Unfortunately, as an employee of Ty's, I'm thinking that I'm probably not eligible to enter this awesome drawing for a complete Wii system that they're holding. Darn it. But probably you could enter, and then, if you win? Please invite my family over. Because we are deprived, y'all.
The contest will be taking entries through October 15th, 2008, so you have plenty of time to enter. Then again, why wait?
If you're a hipper and nicer mom than I am, you probably already have a Nintendo Wii. And if you do, did you know that Ty's carries plenty of popular Wii games? If we actually owned a Wii, my son would be demanding the Code Lyoko game and (of course!) Pokemon Battle Revolution. And my daughter would want Hannah Montana's Spotlight World Tour, of course.
Me, I'm sort of eying the High School Musical Sing It! game. Stop looking at me like that—it's purely for the opportunity to embarrass my children, of course. The fact that the music is incredibly catchy isn't part of the equation at all. Probably.
Anyway, there you go. Whether you're looking to shop or win, Ty's has you covered.

By COLLEEN MCCARTHY
The Oktibbeha County School District Board of Directors will meet at 6 p.m. tonight to approve the school at-risk action plans for East Oktibbeha County Elementary School and East Oktibbeha County High School.
Both schools have struggled to raise state standardized test scores over the last few years and are now under pressure from the Mississippi Department of Education to improve this year or face consequences.
Each school underwent an evaluation last September by a technical assistance team contracted by the MDE. That team drafted a report for the school board highlighting the strengths and weaknesses at each school.
Though the report did not paint an entirely positive outlook for each school, the technical assistance team has stayed at the schools to work with teachers and administrators to outline an improvement plan. The team helped teachers and administrators focus their efforts and come up with specific goals to improve instruction.
Those plans were presented to the school board during its regular meeting last month and are expected to be approved tonight.
The stakes are very high at each school. If EOCES does not raise its Quality Distribution Index — which sits at a score of 101, ranking it as a low performing school — the community could choose to convert the school into a charter school under the New Start School Program and Conversion Charter School Act of 2010.
EOCHS's situation is even more precarious. The school's QDI score is 96, ranking it as a failing school. If it does not raise the score at least four points, MDE will fire every single employee at the high school and take over operations.
Despite the enormous pressure, MDE Bureau Manager of School Improvement Laura Jones, who has been working the Oktibbeha County schools for several years, said she remains optimistic this will be the year the schools turn around.
Jones said EOCES Principal Yolanda Magee and EOCHS Principal Helen Kennard have shown they are willing to make the changes necessary to succeed.
During tonight's meeting, the board will receive an update from school administrators on the progress at all four county schools, along with data on student failures from the first semester.

According to his wife Seby, Eric passed away peacefully on Monday 11th of June in the morning at 1 o'clock, after 1.5 years of fighting the cancer
Eric was one of the first persons in the Netherlands that actually showed the power of the LEGO MINDSTORMS set, released back in 1998. He was a remarkable personality, always building impressive models and proudly showing the new tricks. We used many of his examples, in our own models.
I'm sure that the results of his participation in the LEGO community will be alive for a really long time.
For now my prayers and thoughts will go to Eric's family and close friends.

Gah, I'm running into that stupid unstable online connection thing again with the 2013 International Challenge. I've had one match to completion. Every other match has ended in a disconnection, either from instability or a ragequit.
It definitely seems related to the time of day--if it's any time during the weekend, or it's in the evening, it happens. This time, I'm pretty sure it's related to server strain.
Hey, is there a topic here for the 2013 International Challenge? I want to know if other people have had this problem.

I've mentioned using Panko in recipes before and I have to say it again- I love it! It's inexpensive and is sold at every grocery store I've been in- you can even buy it in bulk from Winco. Panko is just another form of breading, however it's so light and crispy, it almost gives the taste of fried food without the added calories. This lemon pepper Panko would go perfectly with salmon. The cookbook is absolutely beautiful, however it's not really my style of cooking. I did enjoy looking through it though- gorgeous food is truly an art!
Anyone who comes to my house in the 2 weeks following Thanksgiving might be subjected to a tradition of mine: turkey tacos. We love them and it's a sure-fire way to use up turkey leftovers. This prize pack would certainly spruce up turkey taco night!

Everything was absolutely perfect
5th September 2013
December 22th 2013 – Rose McMillan, EnglandEverything here was absolutely perfect! Be sound hostel is well ahead most other hostels I have stayed at in Europe. In saying that, it could be improved by increasing security on the ground level, perhaps locking the front entrance to the hostel building to prevent pick pockets and thieves from coming into the ground level facilities. Be sound hostel was the best hostel I have ever stayed in.

In the open water of Poquito Bayou on a sunny winter morning, the swimmers are barely visible.
All you can see is a dark head, maybe a shoulder, moving steadily through the water, trailed by an inflatable red dive buoy.
Pushed and pulled by currents and tides, the Army Rangers aren't sure if they're swimming in a long straight line, or drifting away from their targets. And every meter counts in a timed swim that helps decide their future as combat divers.
The three swimmers – all instructors at Camp James Rudder – are halfway through a 10-day pre-scuba course to prepare them for the Combat Diver Qualification Course in Key West next month.
View a slideshow of the swimmers. >>
Their teachers are fellow instructors who are also combat divers.
Swimming long distances in open water against the clock is just one component of the grueling course.
"You've gotta really want it," said Master Sgt. Jim Fowler, the dive supervisor and Army Ranger instructor, who went through the training in 1999. "It's pretty much the most PT (physical training) you're ever going to do in six straight weeks."
Grueling challenge
In addition to swimming more than 14,000 meters in the chilly open waters of Poquito Bayou, the students run 30 miles, train for 30 hours in a pool and complete 12 hours of classroom instruction.
The pre-scuba course mimics as closely as possible the requirements of the CDQC. As rigorous as the pre-scuba class is, it doesn't come close to the demands of the six-week course in Key West, Fowler said.
This is the second time through pre-scuba for all three Rangers.
"Across the board, they just weren't ready to go," Fowler said. "If they're physically and mentally exhausted by the end of our course, how could they last six weeks down there (in Key West?)"
The CDQC has a washout rate of 50 to 60 percent, Fowler said. But those who make it through that course join an elite group of Army combat divers.
"This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for these guys to become combat divers," he said. "It opens up doors."
Gutting it out
At the beginning of the week, air temperatures were in the 40s, while the waters of Poquito Bayou were a bone-chilling 57 degrees. The students started with a 1,000 meter swim, increasing the distance each day. By Friday, they were up to 3,000 meters.
To protect students from marine life and hypothermia, the Rangers enter the water wearing short wet suits under their regular uniforms, and don hoods, masks, fins and gloves. Layered on top of that, is a buoyancy vest they can inflate if they get in trouble.
Fowler explained that in real world situations, combat divers would be used to infiltrate areas by water. To that end, they wear their uniforms over their wetsuits so that when they hit the land, they can lose the wetsuits and still have clothes.
"We talk about being able to be the best by land, sea or air," Fowler said. "This is an infiltration technique. It's a way to get in."
"It's just a way to get to work," he added.
A medical technician is on standby, and wool blankets and a heated truck await the swimmers at the end.
Still, it's cold.
One of the students, Sgt. Jason Dodd, joked Thursday when asked how long it took him to warm up after his swim two days earlier.
"I don't know if we ever did," he said.
'I feel strong'
On Thursday, the target distance was 2,000 meters, which meant entering the water near the Poquito Bayou boat ramp, swimming to a buoy 1,000 meters away and swimming back.
The men had one hour.
Sitting three across the back of a boat, they got their instructors from Fowler.
"How you feeling?" he asked the men.
"I feel strong," replied Capt. Michael Culler.
Fowler talked about tides, currents and winds, trying to prepare them for factors they're not experienced enough to predict.
"Tide's coming in," he said. "You're going to have to fight it going out and kick it in the butt coming back, all right?"
At his order, the three flipped backward off the boat and began their swim.
From the beginning, Culler struck out ahead. While Dodd charted a similar course behind him, the third Ranger, Staff Sgt. Ron Oxley drifted off almost immediately.
Fowler steered the boat next to him several times and whistled sharply to get his attention.
"Check target," he yelled. "Check target."
A combat diver completes long surface swims with a powerful sidestroke motion and a finned kick powered from the hips.
These dive school candidates are still working on their technique, which should include frequent checks of their position relative to the target.
Culler reached the turnaround point first, three minutes ahead of the time standard. The other two rounded the buoy with no time to spare.
"Hey," Fowler yelled, pulling the boat up next to Oxley. "Fin hard. You're at 30 minutes."
One of the combat divers on the other support boat called out a second piece of advice.
"And you're going the wrong way," he yelled.
'You're not going to make it'
As the three students swam back toward the target, Fowler sent in two experienced combat divers to show how it should look.
They easily closed the gap between the boat and the swimmers, yelling encouragement and treading water next to them.
"Come on," Spec. Shane Carpenter yelled. "Let's go. Check target. Hurry up. You're not going to make it."
Approaching the final target – a flag-draped, barnacle encrusted buoy – Culler picks up his pace, finishing eight minutes ahead of the one-hour time standard.
The other two have fallen further behind.
With the final minutes ticking down, Fowler and the divers in the water yell out encouragement.
Dodd misses the standard by 35 seconds, while Oxley is more than a minute off. It's not much, but it would be enough to wash them out of CDQC, Fowler said.
"You've got to be able to pass every event in dive school, every day," he said.
There are a lot of surface swims left, though, and they're still learning.
"It's kind of like running," Fowler said. "You've got to log your time, work on your technique. Speed will come."
The exhausted men – who have started their day with a four-mile run, and will end it with three hours of pool training – wade out of the bayou and start taking off their equipment.
Culler is happy with his time, but says that these long swims come easier to him than other components of the course.
"This is my good event," he said.
The other two men are quieter.
"Not fun," Oxley said, when asked about the swim.
Culler said that by Thursday, his body had started to adjust to the heavy physical load of the course and he wasn't as sore. Throughout the long swim, he tried to keep his mind busy.
"I think about really mundane things, things I have to do at home and at work," Culler said. "I really should think about something more exciting."

China is Winning the Space RaceDon't laugh. In less than a decade, Beijing will likely be the world's most important player in outer space.
On June 11, in the flat and featureless Gobi Desert, China took a giant leap for mankind -- or at least a symbolic step toward space dominance -- when it sent three astronauts into space for 15 days. With the past as a guide, both that launch and the 2010 launch of the Chang'e 2 unmanned lunar orbiter are technologically unimpressive. Shift the focus to the present and they are merely unsettling. But look to the future, and they are unmistakable warning signs that China may surpass the United States and Russia to become the world's preeminent spacefaring power.
Yes, launching a three-seat space capsule and docking it with a temporary space station is straight out of the bell-bottom jeans and wide-collar era: it merely replicates what Americans achieved in 1973 with their Skylab 2 mission. With only one main chamber, the diminutive Tiangong 1 space station is far less impressive and barely one-tenth the size of Skylab, not to mention the even larger, elaborately segmented structure of modules, docking ports, and solar arrays that make up the International Space Station (ISS), the largest artificial object in Earth orbit.
Why worry that the Chinese are exploiting 40-year-old technology to send a few men and women into space? Won't it take them decades to catch up? Won't they be daunted by the same engineering and medical scientific barriers that have stalled their predecessors in low Earth orbit, like damage to spacecraft from micrometeorite impacts, and damage to human bodies from exposure to cosmic radiation and weightlessness? And isn't the space race dead anyway?
Not necessarily. The Chinese have not only matched many of the achievements of the Americans and Russians in space -- and in far less time than it took their predecessors to reach the same milestones -- they did so while avoiding their biggest mistakes. For example, rather than investing in customized, expensive space shuttles like both Washington and Moscow banked on, the Chinese are using reliable, mass-producible spacecraft, like the Soyuz capsule.
And the Chinese space program enjoys some important advantages over its U.S. rival. As the recent surge in missions attests, the Chinese space program likely enjoys generous and stable government funding -- though the exact amount is unknown. (Meanwhile, NASA's budget as a percent of the federal budget has fallen from 4.41 percent in 1966 to 0.48 percent in 2012.) And the Chinese space program has the support of a unified Chinese leadership: China's President Xi Jinping won't be shutting down the Shenzhou missions to diminish the legacy of his predecessors, as President Richard Nixon did by ending manned lunar exploration.
The United States may have given up on the space dream, but it still burns brightly in the Chinese psyche. Among the most important -- if unquantifiable -- resources Beijing possesses is an extraordinary sense of historical grievance. Chinese nationalists are conscious of almost two centuries of national humiliation at the hands of other great powers, attributable to Chinese military technological backwardness. Anxiety about technology transfers prompted the Pentagon to reject Chinese participation in the ISS, a decision that has drawn little objection from the other 14 participating countries -- and of which some Chinese nationalists are keenly aware. The United States and its allies are even encircling China in orbital space, or so the thinking goes.

My sweet friend Jayme gave me this quilt last week for baby-on-the-way. I almost cried…it's not very often that people give me a quilt. She'll be mad at me that I blogged it…but it's the law in my house that no quilts go un-blogged around here.
It was inspired by Vanessa's pattern, and Coleen's amazing totes.
She brought it over and told me how it wasn't perfect and something about a mistake here or there…but I really really love it. A quilt isn't a quilt without mistakes…and it is such a great reminder to me that receiving a quilt is really special. So thank you Jayme again…I love it and baby will too!

The following post was submitted by Katie Satrom, MD, second-year resident in the University of Minnesota Pediatric Global Health Track:
The view from my room
Greetings from Cameroon!
Dr. Tina Slusher and I arrived safely in Cameroon last week. We're working at Mbingo Baptist Hospital, which is a 250+ bed mission hospital in the Northwest Province. There are 45 physicians who work here, 600+ staff, and over 100 volunteers annually.
The pediatric ward consists for 20 general beds and another 6 oncology beds. There are also some children who are boarding in the surgical and ortho wards. In addition, there is a newborn nursery associated with the maternity ward and a very small NICU.
Currently 3 American pediatricians are working at the hospital. They are all recent grads who have committed to working here for 2 years. The hospital has surgical residents through the Pan African Academy of Christian Surgeons (PAACS) program and also a med-peds residency (although they only do 25% pediatrics).
The hospital entrance
Our daily routine consists of morning report from 7am-8am, followed by either rounding in the nursery or seeing some clinic patients. Inpatient rounds begin at 9:30.
The local residents do all of the pre-rounding, documentation, and most of the orders. Later in the afternoon, we will follow-up with any loose ends, see new admits, or spend more time in clinic or nursery.
Our role is more for supervision and teaching, as the local residents do not have much pediatric experience. I am learning a lot from the residents as well, especially about specific endemic diseases and also how to best use limited medical resources.
Drs. Satrom and Slusher with two nursery nurses and another resident, Erin Young
There are a lot of volunteers who are coming and going. Currently there is an American adult nephrologist who is here to help set up peritoneal dialysis. We have had two interesting cases of nephrotic syndrome on the wards, so he has been a helpful consult.
This week, Dr. Peter Hesseling, a pediatric oncologist from South Africa, and his team are here. They have a Burkitt lymphoma protocol to deliver simple, low-cost treatment for children that can be used in rural hospitals. Their team has treated more than 900 cases of Burkitt's in this region of Africa so far.
There is also a 2nd-year pathology resident from Mayo here for 6 weeks, so it's been fun to hang out with her. My husband comes next week to help with some engineering projects, so I'm looking forward to that!
Drs. Slusher and Satrom on rounds on the wards
My first day on the wards, I saw a new diagnosis of Burkitt's lymphoma, intussusception, cerebral malaria x3, acute bilirubin encephalopathy, TB peritonitis, H. flu meningitis, and bilateral retinoblastoma, just to name a few
This 26-week preemie was born here and was stabilized on bubble CPAP, and is actually doing quite well. Dr. Slusher and I check in on her a few times a day and have had to be creative when the power goes out for extended periods of time.
I've also been able to observe and help Dr. Slusher teach the Helping Babies Breathe protocol to the local nurses. One of these nurses is visiting from another city and will bring back what she has learned to teach others. It's pretty neat to watch them learn about simple neonatal care and to know how big a difference that can make in infant mortality if done well!
I'll try to write additional posts with interesting cases and pictures. The internet connection isn't great, so sometimes it's hard get online and especially to upload photos.

Bit of a let-down
Kammy says Suarez should explain his tumble, Walcott is a striker and Hughes needs more time.
Last Updated: 08/10/12 4:36pm
Every Saturday, Chris Kamara heads to stadiums up and down the country to deliver his unique match reports for Soccer Saturday.
On Sundays you can see him back in the Sky Sports studios as he brings you all of the highlights as well as in-depth analysis of all the action on Goals on Sunday.
And then on Mondays you can find Kammy right here on skysports.com as he brings you his views on the weekend.
Join us every week as he runs through his highs and lows of the Premier League...
I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw Luis Suarez go down
On Goals on Sunday, I was discussing the incident where Kevin Mirallas won a penalty for Everton against Wigan. There was only slight contact, but the ball was still there for him to score a goal and there was no reason for him to go down. However, that slight contact was enough to send him over - and I was trying to make the point that people are quick to castigate players, but minimal contact can genuinely cause you to go down sometimes. Then you see an incident like the Suarez one and you think 'what are you doing?' Last week against Norwich he was denied one of the most blatant penalties you could wish to see, maybe his reputation went before him, but you can't defend what he did against Stoke. Brendan Rodgers can't defend that. He should be asked to explain himself on that one.
You don't want to play Manchester United straight after a defeat
Over the years we've seen that Man United are so often at their best just after a defeat and after losing at home to Tottenham, Newcastle were unfortunate to be next in line. Sir Alex Ferguson doesn't tolerate mediocrity, so you could bet your bottom dollar that they were going to bounce back in style on Monday. I thought Wayne Rooney looked good in midfield; he showed that he can play, he can pass and he can do everything you need in that position. He gives them another dimension when he plays like that.
There's still plenty of time for Mark Hughes to sort out QPR
I know Tony Fernandes and he's a decent fellow. He's given Mark Hughes ample opportunity at QPR and you can't argue with the money he's been given for transfer fees and wages. You thought they were going down last season, but Hughes got them out of trouble. They're struggling at this moment in time, but there's a long way to go. They have a home game with Everton next and then a trip to Arsenal; two incredible games that won't make life any easier for him. But you never know what's going to happen in this game. They are suffering a bit now, but Fernandes is supporting him at the moment and Mark will hope that continues and he has the chance to sort everything out.
Paul Lambert will live and die by his decisions, like any manager
Sometimes a manager doesn't do what everyone thinks they should and hindsight can be a wonderful thing. Maybe if he'd played Darren Bent against Tottenham it might have made a difference, but at the end of the day we don't really know. Maybe if he'd played instead of Christian Benteke then they'd have lost by even more? Supporters don't let you get away with anything in this day and age and a lot of them will think they'd have had a better chance of winning if he'd played Bent. We'll never know, but Lambert is another manager under severe pressure.
Theo Walcott looks like a centre-forward to me
Theo has always said he wants to play up front and he thinks that's his best position. He is a fabulous finisher and seems tailor-made for that role. He's rarely had an opportunity through the middle at Arsenal, but when he pops up in the centre and gets opportunities he's shown he is a good finisher. He makes good runs and he must have asked Arsene Wenger for a chance in that position. Obviously he has competition in people like Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski and his chances are limited, so maybe he's keeping his options by not signing a new contract. There's no reason why he shouldn't because Arsenal aren't far away from being a very good team. A couple of defensive lapses have let them down of late, but they nearly look like the old Arsenal to me.
