The Tennessee Titans are fighting for a playoff berth as they prepare for a road matchup against AFC South rival Indianapolis. The Colts are fighting just to get a win and avoid being the second team in NFL history to finish a season 0-16.
Expect the Colts to try and establish the run against the Titans' mediocre run defense. Donald Brown has established himself as the team's lead back in the second half of the season. He has received 14-plus carries in four of the Colts' last five games and has found the end zone in two of the past three.
The Titans will likely turn to rookie Jake Locker to make his first NFL start after Matt Hasselbeck suffered a calf injury in last week's loss to the Saints. With that said, we should expect to see a heavy dose of Titans RB Chris Johnson, who is putting together a nice second half of the season after getting off to such a slow start.

I fell in love with Bobbi Brown's Pot Rouge products, I was looking for something to add a little color since I am very pale and sometimes I have a feeling that I look washed out.
I love this color, it's a beautiful neutral pink that I apply sparingly with my MAC 192 brush that adds that extra pop of color without looking made up. Definitely a keeper and safe for those with oily complexions, doesn't break me out and looks completely natural (a plus, being a guy and all).
Will repurchase, but I feel this will last me a long time.

I absolutely love this; there's nothing more I can say about the colour or the texture that hasn't already been said. It really brightens my face and gives a nice glow without looking oily, and I love love love that it doesn't have shimmer because then I have options at least, and I can build the colour without feeling like I'm insanely piling on the glitter. I just dot this along the apples of my cheeks to about an inch or two away from my temples and then instead of rubbing it in or spreading it with a clean finger, I tap the colour to spread it, this really helps in terms of getting a more natural look without wasting any more product. I only need to press my finger into the tub once per cheek, and it does last all day, which also means this'll last me well through the next decade or so. I like it on my lips as well but mostly use it as a blush. HG for a natural, simple and quick approach to prettifying myself even in the mornings I can barely stand to look in the mirror. :)

When I picked this pot rouge up at Nordstrom, I had no idea it was such a popular color. This shade looks super natural on my pale yet warm skin tone. I apply this with my BE Kabuki brush. You barely have to touch the surface of the pot with the brush as it's very pigmented. This stuff also works nicely over the top of bronzer. As other's have mentioned this can be a little drying for lips. I always apply lip balm first if I'm going to wear this.
2 out of 2 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
I've been using this very awesome product for more than a year now, and I highly recommend it. The color is a mix of toffee and pink, which I imagine can work for both cool and warm skin tones. It reminds me of Revlon Super lustrous lipstick in Blushed, and when I compare the two side by side, Revlon appears just a shade or two darker than BB Blushed Rose, but the color is very similar. I have cool pale skin (NW15) and I use this as the darker "contour" on the bottoms of my apples and cheekbones. I was afraid at first that the shade was too dark and warm for skin as pale as mine, but the product is very blendable, so it fades into my skin, leaving behind only the bit of rosy shadow I was looking to create. It also doesn't break out my acne-prone skin, despite of the oils it contains. A final note: the product lasts a looong time. Ive only made a slight dip in it from using it every workday for a year, so I think the $22 price tag is justifiable.
EDIT: As much as I love this, I must add a caveat that I don't think it has great staying power. Consider the rating a 4.5.
4 out of 4 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love this product! I didn't think I would be able to wear a creme blush as I'm oily in the T-zone. In fact the first time I inquired about this blush at the BB counter the SA recommended against it so I didn't buy it. I had a nagging desire to try it anyway, so I returned and bought it the next week. This is my first creme blush so I can't compare to any other creme blush. It is not terribly creamy so it does not spread easily but if you dab it on with your finger and keep dabbing to even it out and blend it, it applies quite nicely. Using a moisturizer underneath is probably best. It looks like it is part of my skin rather than a powder that sits on top of my skin. This color looks like a somewhat muddy rosy brown in the pot, but looks like a natural pinky color with a hint of brown on my cheeks. I also have the pink truffle which is slightly rosier but very close in color in my opinion. Both look good on my fairly light coloring. It is buildable, so you can get the depth of color you desire. I have had no problems with breakouts or oiliness. It has better staying power than any powder blush I've used, but I still like to reapply midday.You only need a little so the pot will last a long time. I haven't tried it on my lips because I have lip colors I already like. I'm glad I tried it despite the SAs advice.

I used this when I went on a vacation on an island. It was hot and sunny and my oily skin's got this special ability to melt my makeup within half a day. so i tried this on my cheeks and lips. it totally looked natural and i was very impressed. i wore it all day long, and when i came back in the evening, it's still there!! i would never dream of using cream blush on my face as i'm scared its gonna clog my pores and break me out..but this didnt!!! AT ALL. didnt effect my sensitive skin one bit. I so love this product and will keep buying it again and again!

Me: MAC C2/NC15, BB Warm Ivory or Porcelain. Worn for: two weeks.
This is an excellent and versatile product. On me, blushed rose reads very similar to Tawny powder blush, making it easy to do the BB technique of "popping" your blush with Tawny or Pale Pink (I own both). Texture is thicker and a bit more "waxy" than something like Stila Convertible Color or MAC creme blush, but more creamy than a stick product like NARS multiples. Can be applied to lips without the very "thick" look that the multiple gives. Very versatile over just moisturizer or moisturizer and foundation. Packaging is typically BB "sleek", which I appreciate (prefer a minimalist makeup bag). Possibly not pigmented enough for some- I'm pale, though, so it is a good shade for me. May also not last as long on oilier skins. One of the better multi-purpose products, in my opinion. Expensive, as most BB products are, but I would purchase this again.
7 out of 7 people found this review helpful. Did you? Yes No
Love it!!! It is so easy to apply with fingertips and it looks so amazingly natural all day long like I would be really blushing. Looks great on my lips too. If I had to choose my favorite piece of make-up, this would be THE ONE.
This is a great product. The colour is very natural (dirty pink), has a mild healthy glow to it. It lasts long and wears very well on top of foundation and moisturiser and is well suited for people with dry skin. Also wears well as a lipcolour.
I bought this a while ago and used it every day for a year and I am not even half finished. This pot should take me well into my retirement!!
I bought this over the weekend based on the reviews I read here and I can't rave enough about this blush! The color is fabulous and it gives me that super cute, natural looking flush that I just love. It lasts all day and is super easy to use. I find that this looks especially good with a light sweep of BB Bronzer (I wear Medium) on top just before I set with my loose powder (NARS in Beach). I will definitely repurchase- although I remember reading something about this being a LE...sadness if that's true...anyway, as long as it's around, I'll continue to use it, buy it, and recommend it to every gal I know.

It was something different, something fresh and innovative. It was a band called The Beatles and they were poised to make history at the Washington Coliseum right here in our town.
And one 18-year-old boy fresh out of high school was there to capture it all.
FOX 5's Tony Perkins had a chance to sit down with Mike Mitchell and talk about that night nearly 50 years ago.
He talked about the fan frenzy at Union Station when the band arrived, the night of the concert, and how he captured those historical shots.

A Chicago chiropractor was arrested Thursday and charged with possessing child pornography.
Neil Sussman, 59, faces two Class 2 felony counts of possession of child pornography, with depictions of a child under 13 and a child under 18, according to a statement from the Cook County State's Attorney's office.
A chiropractor since 1981, Sussman's license was still active as of Friday and he has never been disciplined, according to the state's Department of Financial and Professional Regulation.
Sussman, of the 5400 block of North Sheridan Road, was arrested Thursday after officers executed a search warrant at his home, prosecutors said. He had become the target of an investigation by the Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force.
During the search, investigators found a laptop computer, and a forensic review of the computer revealed numerous video files depicting young children engaging in a variety of sex acts, prosecutors said.
Judge Israel Desierto ordered Sussman held on a $50,000 bond Friday. He is next scheduled to appear in court on Feb. 7. If convicted, he faces up to 14 years in prison, prosecutors said.

Art of Inspiration
This creator's pieces have inspired the outstanding interdisciplinary works of our days.
The multimedia visions of Nam June Paik /
Facing the vertiginous and unbridled advances of the period's technology, many voices have proclaimed the failure of the vanguards of the twentieth century. The reproduction of the image led film, photography and animation to surpass with their diffusion and their innovative merits any other form of art. Film established itself as the "most beloved art" according to Andre Bazin. The technology of photo-sensible materials propelled the way in which we see image and sound.
The artistic vanguards of the twentieth century represent a historically crucial point that gathers literary vanguards, politics and technologies. However, did they actually fail or did they merely fail to update on time? In Behind the Times: The Rise and Fall of the Twentieth Century Avant Gardes, Eric Hobsbawm says that "A camera on a footplate can communicate the sensation of speed better than a Futurist canvas by Baila". But in postmodernity art it seems to be narrowly associated with several fields of study: biotechnology, physics, industrial design and engineering. Are these new interdisciplinary relations a serious actualisation in the way we perceive art?
Since Hegel, many voices have foretold the death of art, impoverished by the commercial dynamics that behave aggressively towards it, outshined by the technological dazzle, and in many cases disconnected from the viewer. However, during the second half of the twentieth century the focus was turned towards art and technology, and without a doubt one of the rebels who headed this phenomenon was the South Korean, Nam June Paik (1932-2006). His video-art, installations and music works were a revolutionary inclusion in this field; exploring the relation between portable video media, television, satellite television, music and electronics.
Pre-Bell-Man, a statue by Paik that stands in front of Frankfurt's Museum für Kommunikation, is a comical metaphor embodying the art/technology binomial: the horseman is a geometric robot made of radio and television devices, the horse is painted green and is poorly ornamented, expressing a change in the perception of art. The rider raises his hand victoriously, encompassing the current zeitgeist, the vision of the artist —who was probably among the first video-artists together with Wolf Vostell— is distilled from the Fluxus spirit and its multimedia incursion in art: a revolutionary action despite the premises against a revolution in art at the time.
Fluxus returns to the Dada movement and is inspired by the figure of John Cage, the passion for the composer's experimentation, and his constant transgression over musical frontiers that were once impassable, were a constant driving force for the group. A key character that profoundly influenced June Paik and his colleagues is the enigmatic and elusive Duchamp; the critical meta-ironic spirit that characterised this agile chess player, also drove these rebels to pursue their unique paths.
The recording Paik made in New York during the visit of Pope Paul VI in the Sixties locks the paradigms which have been at play throughout the entire history of art: the divine, mankind, technique and technology. Contained within this tape is the everyday life of the consumerist metropolis and a vertiginous adventure towards postmodernity.Tagged: art, contemporary art, artistic vanguards, Nam June Paik

I'd probably get rid of your 100-400 though, as the 70-200mm f/2.8L IS II with the 2x III is better at 400mm; especially on a 5D III.
My 100-400 @ 400mm is better than my 70-200 II + 2xIII @ 400mm. Not massively better, but noticeably better. That's also consistent with TDP's ISO 12233 crops.

PHOENIX (AP) - Trial has been delayed for a woman accused of running over her husband with an SUV because he didn't vote in November's presidential election.
Authorities say 29-year-old Holly Nicole Solomon of Mesa was upset about President Barack Obama's re-election and began arguing with her husband on Nov. 10 when she found out that he didn't vote.
Daniel Solomon, who suffered a fractured pelvis, told investigators that his wife believed their family was going to face hardship as a result of Obama's election. Holly Solomon told police she was trying to scare her husband by stopping the vehicle close to him but she accidentally stepped on the accelerator and struck him.
She had been set for trial Wednesday. Court documents show the case has been delayed while Solomon undergoes a competency evaluation.

Recently we've had the pleasure of a patron discovering the zoom capabilities of our new Digital Collections website. He gave us examples of how he used zoom to further his research. This shows how the zooming tool increased his knowledge and furthered his research. In his words, "The photograph is of the James F. Mathews/Isaac Gotthelf mansion at 2601 Champa St., Denver. There are only two existing photos of the property that we know about. The one you have and another in a private collection. Each has been able to provide important information, but the angle of the photo in your collection provided a difference perspective that has been very helpful to us. The original negative of the DPL photo, as you can see, was badly damaged, so it was very hard to pick out important details until the new digital archive was released. Below are examples of the additional "details" we were able to collect from the photo which was previously unrecognizable. The ability to "zoom" on the hi-res image provided volumes of new information to us. In historic preservation, restoration ends where hypothesis begins, so the ability to confirm questions we had will be invaluable to the quality of the restoration we are going to perform on this property. My hope is that we might create an interesting story about this to share with the preservation community, and that also reflects on the quality of the collection at Western History and all the hard work that has gone into improving the on-line archive."mso-yfti-tbllook:1184;mso-padding-alt:0in 0in 0in 0in">

We could tell that the west turret had a finial, but were not sure about the east turret. This detail confirms the existence of a missing finial and more details about its design.
We didn't know if slate was used on the porch and conservatory structures. This detail confirms that the conservatory roof was slate
And this detail confirms the use of slate on the main porch (east elevation)
This detail confirms that the porch known to exist west of the conservatory was a "hood" rather than a traditional porch supported on posts.
And this detail from the photo permits us to restore the staircase associated with the hooded porch.
"Another detail that confirms for us that the main porch was constructed so that the posts closest to the building were free-standing, rather than engaged. We can also determine how far from the façade it was positioned because we can now see the exact number of balusters between it and the façade.
All this stuff may be "ho-hum" to the rest of the world, but to us, it is amazing stuff! Thanks again for providing a great digital archive."

Anthropology / History of Anthropology
Colonial Situations
Essays on the Contextualization of Ethnographic Knowledge
Edited by George W. Stocking, Jr.
History of Anthropology Series (VOLUME SEVEN)
Richard Handler, Series Editor
The relation of anthropology to colonialism and imperialism became a burning issue for anthropologists in the mid-1960s.
As European colonies in Asia and Africa became independent nations, as the United States engaged in war in Southeast Asia and in covert operations in South America, anthropologists questioned their interactions with their subjects and worried about the political consequences of government-supported research. By 1970, some spoke of anthropology as "the child of Western imperialism" and as "scientific colonialism." Ironically, as the link between anthropology and colonialism became more widely accepted within the discipline, serious interest in examining the history of anthropology in colonial contexts diminished.
This volume is an effort to initiate a critical historical consideration of the varying "colonial situations" in which (and out of which) ethnographic knowledge essential to anthropology has been produced. The essays comment on ethnographic work from the middle of the nineteenth century to nearly the end of the twentieth, in regions from Oceania through southeast Asia, the Andaman Islands, and southern Africa to North and South America.
The "colonial situations" also cover a broad range, from first contact through the establishment of colonial power, from District Officer administrations through white settler regimes, from internal colonialism to international mandates, from early "pacification" to wars of colonial liberation, from the expropriation of land to the defense of ecology. The motivations and responses of the anthropologists discussed are equally varied: the romantic resistance of Maclay and the complicity of Kubary in early colonialism; Malinowski's salesmanship of academic anthropology; Speck's advocacy of Indian land rights; Schneider's grappling with the ambiguities of rapport; and Turner's facilitation of Kaiapo cinematic activism.
George W. Stocking, Jr., is the Stein-Freiler Distinguished Service Professor in the Department of Anthropology and the Committee on the Conceptual Foundations of Science at the University of Chicago. He is editor of the History of Anthropology series published by the University of Wisconsin Press and the author of After Tylor: British Social Anthropology, 18881951; Victorian Anthropology; Race, Culture, and Evolution; The Ethnographer's Magic; and Delimiting Antropology. In 1993, he was awarded the Huxley Medal of the Royal Anthropological Institute.

Great Escape!!!This was our first trip to this area from Chicago. So
quiet and beautiful it enchanted us. The locals and other visitors
were warm and welcoming. Lots of dogs frolicing at the beach. The
sunset was breathtaking. The Cotswold is perfect-Shawn has really
thought of everything.
I can't imagine a better place to have spent my birthday with all of
my friends and family surrounding me here at the cottage that is so
close to home, but once you're here it's a thousand miles away.
Thanks so much for the perfect getaway.
Our family of five, plus puppy, had a great week; Berry picking,
Timbertown playground and coffee at the Whistle Stop. What a
relaxing vacation.
We celebrated our 25th Wedding Anniversary for a week. The food was
superb-from the Blue Plate (banana French toast & watermelon
lemonade)to Miller's, (everything's great there). The antique
stores, golfing and winery tours kept us busy. The little blue
cottage was always welcoming us back each evening after returning
from our day's adventures.
Absolutely wonderful little getaway! Winter at the beach was
breathtaking. My husband and I will be back for a romantic weekend.
Thank you again for a wonderful week. We will be back soon.

when I leave for college
and my room becomes an office
my closet a small attic
and my pillows and pictures and trophies and ribbons
are put away
where will home be?
in my small, stuffy dorm, all stale cereal and loud music?
the new office?
and when exactly
will home be my own house
and I turn my child's pink-walled room into an office?
well, home isn't where the trophies are
home is with the people you love: so
maybe we have lots of homes and maybe
the whole world is our home but why, then,
does hot homesickness flood your throat at
sleep-away camp and what exactly are you
sick for? the familiar
sound of the door open-creak, thump-thump-cool smooth
floor-under-feet, close-your-eyes spaghetti smell and
"you're home"

Tom Danyluk has some thoughts on last weekend's divisional round and picks the winners in this weekend's conference championship games.
What I saw in Texans at Ravens
After it ended, John Harbaugh's club made the Sign of the Cross and confessed it had done just enough things to squeeze by … like messing with an overmatched rookie passer like T.J. Yates, like stealing a fistful of early points when the Texans got sloppy with the ball.
And afterward OLB Terrell Suggs gave the Thomas Aquinas angle on his team's fallibility when he said, "There's a right way to do things, there's a wrong way to do things, and then there's the Ravens say to do things." Meaning, we're only human, people.
Arian Foster got his mileage tearing right at the Ravens, a straight-ahead push, not with the swooping cutbacks and misdirection that had fouled up Cincinnati's defense the week before. Baltimore doesn't fall for the cutback, however; they're too instinctive and experienced, too stay-at-home for that sort of stuff. So, Houston jammed it right at 'em and the Ravens only stopped it occasionally.
Postgame, well, you wanted to ask Texans coach Gary Kubiak why he didn't introduce his other big runner, Ben Tate, into the action, just to hit the Ravens with some different looks or to give Foster (27 carries) some oxygen. On the one play that Tate did get involved, Yates sailed a pass way over his head.
But hell, Tate wouldn't have mattered, right? It wasn't a Tate-Foster issue, who got the carries and the workload. It was a Yates needing-to-hit-some-throws issue. The Ravens dared him. They dialed back the pressure and played coverage, to see if Yates could stay loose and locate the open throwing lanes. He couldn't. He's only human, ya know.
What I saw in Broncos at Patriots
It was a Les Miles quotation, but it could as easily have come out of the mouth of John Fox, whose no-risk game plan was a murder accomplice in Foxborough — "I think if you watch our calls that we did throw the football down the field; we didn't necessarily get the football down the field."
The Denver coaches pretty much handed Tim Tebow the LSU playbook, the same one that got Jordan Jefferson torn to pieces by Alabama in the BCS game. Attack the middle, then move the quarterback to the perimeter to get the option going. Downfield throwing, nah, who needs it? Thus, the LSU wreckage looked a lot like the Denver Bronco wreckage.
If the Broncos are going to lock Tebow in as the starter, then they had better get him some bigger guys as targets, ones who can move and box out and claim some territory over the middle. Yes, Gronkowskis. Power forwards, huge guys Tebow can see, because it seems the kid has a helluva time locating his current options, at least ones he thinks he has the gun to reach.
Did it really matter for this game? No, it did not. Even if Tebow managed to get 24 … or 28 or 30 on the board, the Pats would have simply moved their score into the 50s. People-wise, the Broncos' defense couldn't match up.
"Everybody makes big plays on this team," Pats TE Aaron Hernandez said. "That's why our offense is so dangerous. We got so many weapons they don't know who to cover."
"It reached a point," Fox said, "where we didn't have enough people to match up on their multiple wideout stuff, so it limited us." Enough good people, he meant.
They were already thin at safety. And the linebackers … well, nobody in white could stick with Gronkowski or Hernandez or Welker in blue. The Broncos' zones were meaningless. And forget about the pass-rush angle because Brady was unloading the ball so fast a pass rush only would have created a parade of late-hit flags.
It's a pity Norv Turner can't ever trick his club into playing a complete season. San Diego, despite its Sunday-to-Sunday weirdness, would have given the Pats a better fight out of the AFC West.
What lies ahead in the AFC championship game
I think you'll see a different Ravens team this Sunday, one that gets off the ball with a little more interest and urgency, that's itchy and talky and bouncing around between plays. They stood on flat feet against the Texans last week.
The home-away angle? Yeah, I'd say it means something here. Baltimore has been nothing special on the road, a meek 4-4. The last big passer they faced in another building was Philip Rivers, who scored on nearly every possession he had that evening. A 34-14 butt-kicking at San Diego in Week 15. Meanwhile, Brady and the Patriots have gone 8-1 in Foxborough, including the recent maiming we just witnessed.
The Ravens' defense had better clamp down early … knock those big tight ends around and get some shots on Brady and dump that road-runner Welker on his can. Because if it gets to be a two- or three-score deficit, well, we've seen four years of Joe Flacco to understand he can't operate from behind. He presses. He'll hold the ball too long and get dumped. Or fumble it. And besides, there isn't enough high-grade weaponry around him this year for the kind of catch-up football needed to catch New England.
But I think this Ravens "D" will clamp down. This is a defense that can still get serious and I think it will happen. You'll see Pats receivers getting up slowly. The Patriots have been coasting for too many weeks, and I expect Baltimore's aggressiveness to extend this game all the way into the fourth quarter.
That's where Brady will win it, but it won't be the la-de-da wipeout a lot of America is expecting to see. Patriots 30, Ravens 23
What I saw in Saints at 49ers
Had it been 17-0 Saints in the first quarter, I might have proclaimed the 49ers and their joyous little season as dead. But New Orleans was the team in the hole, and with three full quarters of football still remaining I never thought Brees and that offense were anywhere near kaput.
The 49ers had clamped down on mighty mite Darren Sproles and his dump-off plays — speed chasing speed — but Brees was finally able to locate his wide men, Devry Henderson and Marcus Colston and Jimmy Grahamkowski on the deeper items and pulled it to 17-14 by half. (Yes, it's Graham … the New Orleans Gronk.)
The third quarter was spastic, where neither team could muster any flow to its offense, and the only points (a 49er FG) came after a Sproles fumble, his second and the Saints' fifth turnover of the day.
Then the Niners switched back to their ground game, and on a 2nd-and-6 they sent in two defensive starters, Justin Smith and Isaac Sopoaga, for extra thrust, extra power blocking. And Fox's Tony Siragusa made a helluva sharp observation about snap counts when you see those situations.
"You know, as a defensive lineman, when you see a defensive tackle or end on the other side playing offense, you know they're going to go on one," he said, "because as soon as he hears that snap count he is firing off. You're never going to get that hard count … or that hut-two or three. They're going to go on one every single time."
Which the Niners did — on one. And the Saints slammed it. Atta boy, Goose! Tres bien!!
Then, of course, the drama of the final volley, four touchdowns scored in the last 4:02 of game clock. You could almost hear the orchestra … Tchaikovsky, the dizzying 1812 Overture … singing along in accompaniment as the cannons fired to life.
There's an old Sports Illustrated headline — "The Game No One Should Have Lost." It was the story of the Chargers-Dolphins playoff game from 1981. Shula and Fouts and Coryell. One of the all-timers.
Saints-Niners had that feel to it. The 2012 Overture.
What I saw in Giants at Packers
The rare capsizing of a 15-1 team in its opening playoff game. Watching Green Bay go to pieces brought back memories of another historic playoff collapse, San Francisco in 1987, when Bill Walsh captained the No. 1 defense and the No. 1 offense and the Vikings came in and blasted him out of his own ballpark.
"Without question, the toughest loss I ever experienced," Walsh once told me. "Everything seemed to go wrong for us that day. No matter what we tried, we couldn't get back on track … I even pulled Joe Montana for Steve Young."
Nope, the Packers couldn't get back on track, either. All those drops, the turnovers, even the Hail Mary act at the end of the first half — Manning to Nicks — and still it was just a 20-13 game heading into the fourth, Packers ball in Giants territory.
Then Aaron Rodgers missed TE Jermichael Finley on the shallow crossing route. Nobody near him, just a … miss.
Packers go for it on fourth down, the first embers of desperation. Sack, Rodgers crumbles in a heap on a blitz from Michael Boley, and from there it just spilled away from the home team.
You sift through the Packers' postgame quotes, just out of curiosity, trying to find the "Everything seemed to go wrong …" explanation to match Walsh's. And there it was, Charles Woodson, the cornerback, with his version of 'you've had a bad day.'
"Everything happened to us today," Woodson said. "Anything that you've seen through the regular season happened to us today — missed tackles, assignments, not getting to the quarterback." He left out his offense's drops, the turnovers.
I had an old teacher that used to say, "Sometimes you get the bear, sometimes the bear gets you." He stole it from Preacher Roe, his little way of explaining the breaks in life. Country wisdom.
On Sunday, the bear, not the Giants, got the Packers.
What lies ahead in the NFC championship game
Some writers have tried to sell this as a huge historical reenactment, but the only nod to the big SF-NY rivalry years (1981-93) are the costumes. In fact, the roles have switched. New York counts on the pass and the sacking/pressure of its front four and the occasional blitz. The 49ers' return has been cooked from the basics — killer defense and inside bursts of Frank Gore. And fine tackling, Lord, don't forget that. Parcells looks to the west and smiles.
The definition of a hot team is one that's getting the right matchups and avoiding screw-ups, and the Giants are humming. A 7-7 team finally finds its gear. Eli Manning is in another one of his zones, where his options seem very clear, and it has been more than enough to lift them to a pair of honest playoff wins.
I think the Niners' defense will ultimately settle this one. Right now, that group is running wild. My, the hitters they've accumulated. Watching them drill people and prying balls loose and making their own breaks … like a jacked-up college team. Go back to the tape of the '84 Orange Bowl, Miami swarming all over Nebraska, guys you never heard of drilling into first-team All-Americans. That kind of energy.
Accu-weather is calling for a thick, soaking field Sunday, which could put heavier legs on Eli's big targets — Hakeem Nicks and Victor Cruz. The Giants' run game of Jacobs and Bradshaw isn't enough to make up the difference. I see San Francisco leaping ahead quickly, like it did against the Saints, then once again holding on at the end. 49ers 20, Giants 16

It's hard to isolate one specific matchup to watch, especially in a loaded game like Pahokee-Dwyer. Tonight's game features 12 players from The Big Board, including seven of the top 14 — and that doesn't even account for the wealth of talented underclassmen on both sides.
One angle worth monitoring, though, is Dwyer's running game vs. Pahokee's defensive front.
The Panthers (1-1, No. 3 in the Post) must run the ball to have a shot at taking down No. 1 Pahokee (2-0). Dwyer is far more consistent and effective running the ball, anyway, and that burden falls primarily on Matt Elam. Elam should play virtually every snap of this game (so will most of the players for both teams), so he will need some help shouldering that load. TE/FB/DE Gerald Christian is a nice compliment to Elam's style and could get some handoffs.
The key for Dwyer is to maximize his carries. He picked up 90 yards on 11 attempts against Glades Central and needs to be somewhere around that average against the Blue Devils.
"He breaks tackles, shows good vision and he can catch," Pahokee coach Blaze Thompson said. "He's a great back, but we've seen him before. We know what to expect from him."
Stopping Elam, or any talented running back, is never a one-man job, but Pahokee will rely heavily on LB Corey Hill. Hill (5-10, 200) usually plays middle linebacker and he is arguably the team's most valuable player against the run, physically and mentally. He will be trying to pick up Elam out of the backfield, but he will also be directing traffic before the snap.
Following his 13-6 opening-week loss at Pahokee, Atlantic coach Andre Thaddies said he regretted going away from the run. Aside from the two times the Blue Devils sacked QB Mark Leal, the Eagles averaged 4.6 yards per rush.
"It's critical for us to run the ball, but also to mix the play-calling up so they can't just pin their ears back," Dwyer coach Jack Daniels said. "But any team has to run to beat Pahokee because you want to keep the ball out of the hands of their offense."
That will be difficult to do if Hill can minimize, or at least reasonably contain, Elam's production on the ground.
For the sake of time, I'm not going to delve too deeply into these, but some other points to pay attention to are:
How will Dwyer cover WR Chris Dunkley? CB Robert Clark "held" Dunkley to two catches for 97 yards and a touchdown in Dwyer's game against Royal Palm Beach last year, but Dunkley is playing better as a senior and enjoying more match-up advantages than ever when the Blue Devils line him up in the slot. Dunkley often draws a safety or linebacker in the slot, so several Dwyer defenders will have to provide solid coverage. Best guess is he ends up facing Clark and/or Elam most of the night.
How will QB Jacoby Brissett respond to Pahokee's pass rush and airtight secondary? Some defensive lines make the secondary look good, and vice versa, but the Blue Devils' defense truly is symbiotic. They get good push from the interior linemen, they have dominant edge rushers and their defensive backs practically wear the jersey of the man they are covering. Brissett was a disaster against a similar defense (Glades Central) in Week 1 and it will be interesting to see how he responds to it this time.
You could ask that same question about whoever plays quarterback for Pahokee. It seems unlikely the Blue Devils will be able to use Emanuel Perez against a team like Dwyer. Assuming De'Joshua Johnson takes most, if not all, of the snaps, he will have to make good reads at he line of scrimmage to pick up the Panthers' array of blitzes. Daniels has so many weapons on defense and his staff implemented more than 20 different blitz packages in a game last season. Any time Johnson is able to detect where the blitz is coming from could lead to a big play.
This list could go on and on. I've highlighted a few points, but feel free to add your own in the comments section.
I'll leave you with two interesting facts:
1. No team from eastern Palm Beach County has won at Pahokee or Glades Central since Jupiter beat the Blue Devils in 2002 at Lair Field.
2. Dwyer is 1-0 all-time at Pahokee. The Panthers went west and beat Anquan Boldin and the Blue Devils in 1997. The following year, Pahokee "came back to Dwyer and beat us by 40," Daniels said.

Granite boulders scattered amongst giant sequoia, fir, pine and cedar forest. Central Sierra Nevada, California. Some boulders lie right next to some of the largest trees on earth, the giant sequoias. Some boulders are in the lower elevation foothill range and are good for winter. There's bouldering at 11,000 feet that requires backpacking in. The boulders tend to be lichen filled slabs but occasionally you'll come across some High Sierra bomber quartz monzonite. Kind of similar stone to the Tamarack boulders in Yosemite, or a bit chossier than the stone at Courtright Resv. Some of it is slightly overhanging, but mostly slabs and vertical probs(V0-V6). Not much hard bouldering has been done here, to my knowledge. The smaller lines that tend to be dirty are just not as classic as the big clean lines of Yosemite or Bishop. Most of the boulders are in clusters or grouped together, like the General Sherman new parking lot area and the Eli's Paradise boulders (also known as the Sunset Rock trail boulders). This makes it good for some circuit bouldering. Some will require hiking in 5 to 20 mins. If you keep your eyes peeled while driving through the park, you'll also spot a good sized number of climbable boulders. There is a lot of potential for FA's here so if you like hiking, exploring, & cleaning...with no climbers around; just some occasional hikers, this place could be worthwile for a visit. This is not a real bouldering destination area though. Best to visit for many days and combine some cragging, hiking, etc. The season at around 7000' is May to November, with some winter/spring potential in the foothills zone(2000'-4500'). Road construction with delays is always possible when driving into the park, especially from the south on hwy198. A major 10 year road construction plan is being done here. Check with the Park about delays and pass through schedules. www.nps.gov/seki/index.htm
Getting There
1.) Sequoia- drive on hwy.198 from Visalia and Three Rivers, CA. Park entrance gate just past Three Rivers town(last gas, groceries).

Federal contractors are in a special bind during the current government shutdown. If the Senate goes along with the House and votes to give retroactive pay to federal workers, it won't apply to federal contractors, who are also not working now. So a Falls Church consulting company that offers technology solutions in cyber security, cloud computing and enterprise infrastructure management decided to help its federal contractors who are shut out of job projects by allowing employees to donate paid time off hours. IntelliDyne's Chief Executive Officer, Tony Crescenzo, says, "We really weren't satisfied with putting our people on leave without pay." So some 286 regular employees donated enough paid time off to allow 14 affected federal contractors to get paid through the middle of November. Jeff Ayoub of Germantown is one of them. He's a database administration, who's assigned to the Justice Department. He's been spending more time at home with his family since the shutdown. The first week IntelliDyne paid him and the other contractors to do personal development in on-line courses. Ayoub says he is grateful to his colleagues for their generous donations.

Here's a look at a key matchup heading into the Packers' divisional playoff game against No. 1 seed Atlanta at the Georgia Dome Saturday evening:
Packers' run defense vs. Falcons RBs Michael Turner and Jacob Snelling
If Turner consistently bounces off tacklers for extra yardage after initial contact like he did in the first game this season against Green Bay in Week 12, the Packers could have a tough time Saturday evening. The NFC's leading rusher (third overall behind Arian Foster and Jamaal Charles) was a particular menace in that game, methodically churning out 110 yards and a one-yard TD while averaging 4.8 yards per carry in a 23-20 Atlanta victory.
Looking back on that game, Packers players and coaches agree that it might have been their poorest tackling effort of the season. With that in mind, look for Green Bay's run defenders to make a concerted effort to wrap Turner up every time he gets the ball.
How the Packers line up at right outside linebacker could be a factor. The word is rookie Frank Zombo, who has missed the last four games with a knee injury, should probably be able to return to action this week, and he made his presence felt in the earlier game against Atlanta (a sack, a forced fumble and seven tackles). Zombo has been replaced very effectively the last couple of games by Erik Walden (five tackles and a forced fumble vs. Philly), but Zombo is more stout at the point of attack than Walden and might match up better against a hard-charging Turner.
Lately, Green Bay's 18th-ranked run defense (28th in average gain per rush) has been playing at a pretty high level. Rod Woodson, who might have provided better run support than any cornerback in the league down the stretch, and LBs Clay Matthews and Desmond Bishop spearheaded a strong effort against the run last Sunday in the win over the Eagles, limiting Philly's ground game to 82 yards on 21 carries. In the last four games, counting last week, Green Bay's run defense has allowed a very respectable 98.7 yards.
While the Packers know Turner, who had seven 100-yard rushing performances this season, is a real load, they also know full well how pesky Snelling can be, both as a runner and a receiver out of the backfield (third on the team with 44 catches behind Roddy White and Tony Gonzalez.)

Saskatchewan provincial parks are gearing up for another great year. Last year was a record-setting year for attendance and planning is underway to ensure continued success in 2014.
"Saskatchewan provincial parks are premiere tourism destinations in Saskatchewan and we continue to see more visitors than ever before," Parks, Culture and Sport Minister Kevin Doherty said. "We have also been working hard to improve our visitors' park experience. Since 2007, many parks have received upgrades and more are planned for this coming year."
In order to continue to provide a high level of service to an increasing number of visitors, several fees have increased. Changes will affect nightly and seasonal camping rates. Small adjustments to swimming pool entry and swimming lesson fees have also been made.
Nightly – electric – from $22 to $27
Nightly - full service – from $26 to $35
Nightly - non-electric – remains unchanged at $17
Seasonal - electric – from $1,500 to $1,900
Seasonal – non electric – from $760 to $950
Swimming lessons – from $25 to $35
Costs to operate the provincial parks have increased 42 per cent since 2007 and this represents the first fee adjustment since the 2009 camping season. Park user fees cover less than 60 per cent of operating costs. Saskatchewan's nightly camping fee remains lower than Alberta and British Columbia and equal to Manitoba.
The 2014 summer camping season will mark the third year that nightly campers will be able to book sites online, using SaskParks' Reserve-A-Site system or through the reservation call centre. The system has been very successful, with more than 60,000 bookings in each of the last two camping seasons. The online system will open March 3, 2014, with specific park reservation opening dates staggered throughout the week. Check out www.saskparks.net for details.
Applications for seasonal camping are now available online at www.saskparks.net. Seasonal camping offers the opportunity to secure a campsite from May to September.
This very popular program is available at 21 provincial parks. Sites are allocated by a lottery system. The deadline for applications for a seasonal site is Thursday, January 30, 2014. Seasonal sites will be awarded on Monday, February 3, 2014.
Government has invested $44 million over the last five years to improve Saskatchewan's provincial parks, including more than $7 million on electrification of nearly 1,400 campsites since 2007. The government is dedicated to improving Saskatchewan's provincial parks by investing an additional $10 million over four years, over and above the previously-enhanced provincial parks capital budget to develop two new campgrounds, enhance shower and bathroom facilities, create more electrified sites and other infrastructure improvements.

The Southwest monsoon is now setting in. Typically at this time of the year
the prevailing winds are generated in the Indian Ocean, bringing rain to
northern parts of Southeast Asia. For southern parts of the region this is
when countries such as Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia suffer haze from
forest burning in Sumatra.
I can remember a time back in the 1980's when there was simply no haze being
generated in Sumatra. The skies of Singapore and Peninsular Malaysia were
clear year round. Now, people and governments expect this terrible
environmental pollution to appear without fail. The Singapore government
even distributes a quota of N95 face masks free of charge to its people.
Every year governments in the region sit around tables and talk about this
problem, but is still continues. And what future is there for the dwindling
forests in Sumatra and the wildlife it supports ? Truly, this is a
depressing, annual feature of life in Southeast Asia.

Help Put An End to Alzheimer's
November 9, 2011 at 2:15 pm , by Amelia Harnish
I'm 23. Am I worried about Alzheimer's? Not really. But for some time now I've had this sinking feeling that I probably should be. My grandmother may not have an official diagnosis yet, but the evidence is starting to pile up. My mom noticed something was wrong when my grandmother started calling about her TV remote not working, and then calling back 10 minutes later as if they'd never spoken. Now she has to be reminded repeatedly where I am: New York. Soon she'll have to be reminded who I am: Amelia, second grandchild. And after that, who knows, maybe the reminders won't work anymore.
It's devastating to watch someone lose their mind, no matter how old they are. Today, Alzheimer's disease is the sixth-leading cause of death in the United States. Deaths from Alzheimer's rose 66 percent between 2000 and 2008, and the disease will continue to affect more people as baby boomers reach 65 and older.
The worst part about Alzheimer's is that it robs you of your memory and your personality way before it takes your life. Besides wreaking havoc on patients' and caregivers' emotional lives, the financial toll is huge. In 2011, Americans will spend $183 billion to care for those with Alzheimer's. By 2050, we'll be spending $1.1 trillion, according to the Alzheimer's Association.
All this boils down to one thing: we've got to act now. We don't know exactly what causes Alzheimer's. We don't know enough about how to prevent Alzheimer's. And we don't have effective treatments to even slow it down. We've got to figure this out! Read more

Arrowhead Pride has a look at the increasingly confusing cloud of rumors around current St. Louis Rams offensive coordinator and former Denver Broncos head coach Josh McDaniels, who may or may not be on the Chiefs' radar as a potential head coach, depending on which report you believe.
Michael Lombardi of the NFL Network has stated - rather emphatically - that McDaniels is not heading to the Chiefs in any capacity, causing the rumor to die down considerably earlier in the week. Contrast that with a report from the St. Louis Post-Dispatch stating that the Patriots and Chiefs have both asked permission to speak to McDaniels (New England presumably to return McDaniels to his old O.C. job, not as head coach).
As the gents at Arrowhead Pride lament, aren't coaching rumors fun?
On the one hand, you have Lombardi, who has broken plenty of Chiefs news, saying this will not happen. He's been reliable in the past and he's clear in saying, "[H]e is not going to KC in any role."
On the other hand, you have a report out of St. Louis that calls McDaniels a "valuable commodity" and furthers the market for him by saying both the Chiefs and Patriots are interested and reaching out to him.

Here is an idea for those that want to get a little more exposure out of their articles. You can create what I call mini article websites. These mini websites basically feature an article that you have written for your business.
What you would do is create a sub-domain name (myname.mysite.com) and you would upload your mini article website in this sub-domain name. You can use a index.html page if you wish but if you want a more seo'd url you can create your page after the title of your article and then redirect your index to the more seo'd url.
For example here are 3 mini article websites that I created for Marketers Domination
Article Marketing Guide - Article written by Rach
Article Marketing Campaign - Article written by Terra
Article Submission Service - Article written by Ord
If you go to the main (without the page .html) you will notice it redirects to the seo'd page url. This is done by adding a simple .htaccess file to your sub-domain name. The .htaccess file will contain a few simple lines such as:
If you notice each mini article website has its own content which is basically an article that was written. I added the top of the page text and the join now at the bottom on each site. Because you are using sub-domain names these sites will be seen as a different site to the search engines.Code:RewriteEngine On RewriteRule ^index.html$ [replacer_a]
This is a great way to get some extra exposure for your articles + a little link juice going to your main site. (hint: add the copyright and point to your main site). Another benefit to this is if you wanted to do split testing (although we are not using sales copy) then you could see which article actually converts better.
Once you have a few mini article websites up and running then you want to make sure you build some backlinks just as you would with an article you post on MD.
