Everything said. Just double or triple-team Megatron on every single play, put pressure on Stafford and it should end up as a W in the books. Other than that I just want to have a great time at Lambeau Field again and not waiting half an hour to pee like LambeauEast [grin1]
We also need to pass protect. Keep that in mind.
Get the ball out in under 8 seconds.
Time of possession will wear down the defensive line. Screens, traps and misdirection will get them running sideline to sideline, which will also tend to wear them down.
Run blocking would be cool too.

Sam Shields back, Greg Jennings in his 2nd week back, Ryan Grant Resigned, possible C Wood apperance? I think they might feature Ryan Grant this game cause Mike McCarthy tends to do that with new players coming back. But I could be wrong and just does a 2 back punch like the last game.
Anyways I like us by 13 points. Idunno It seems like we could blow them out this game I just have a feeling.. 35-23

We dominate this one so long as we constantly double and triple-team Calvin Johnson. One on one man coverage for everyone else. You'd think it'd be common sense but we didn't do so consistently last time and he torched us. Let their other WRs try to beat us in man, if we give up a long TD if someone slips, so be it. I just do NOT want to see Johnson single-covered or covered by a LB with a safety in zone over the top, lest I have an aneurism.
I think double coverage is a must as well and can be done this game. With the injuries to the Lions wide receivers, everything below Megatron is an unknown.

I think it is is safe to say they can double cover Megatron without having problems elsewhere. Scheffler and Pettigrew don't bring much to the table either.

LOL, I hope not! Wouldn't have been so bad if I hadn't drank SO much and needed to go as often. I cheated myself out of the best seats I'll ever have, and am quite disappointed in myself! That said, have a BLAST, and GO PACK GO!

You guys are overlooking their TEs.
Brandon Pettigrew, Tony Scheffler, and Will Heller don't exactly suck.
And it's not like the Packers have been locking down the middle of the field.
That said, anybody know if Clay's back? We need some pass rush.

We have changed our plans for this game.
Rather than leave our seats empty as previously planned in protest of the NFL reffing debacle of early season, we have decided to go to the game.
It couldn't have had anything to do with our seats being in row 4 behind the Lions bench and having the opportunity to get under Suh and Swartzes skin.

yes I know Zero wants us to view the injury report from the Packer page but I found
APC's Devin Shanley's
comments interesting and they make more sense when you can view the injury list at the same time.
Name Position Injury Fri. Game Status
Donald Driver WR Thumb LP Probable
T.J. Lang G/T Ankle LP Questionable
Terrell Manning LB Shoulder LP Questionable
Clay Matthews OLB Hamstring DNP Out
Mike Neal DE Shoulder DNP Doubtful
Jordy Nelson WR Hamstring DNP Out
Jeff Saturday C Foot LP Probable
Sam Shields CB Ankle FP Probable
James Starks RB Knee DNP Out
C.J. Wilson DE Knee DNP Out
Charles Woodson DB Collarbone LP Out
Perhaps the biggest surprise of the day was that T.J. Lang was back at practice and is now listed as "Questionable." Now the Packers are saying that Lang's participation in the practice was "very limited" and that his participation is a game-time decision. The thing is though, even if Lang is activated don't expect him to be the starter. The reports coming out of 1265 suggest that even if Lang is activated he would be an emergency backup only. If Lang is unavailable the tea leaves suggest that the Packers may make some last minute roster moves in order to promote Andrew Datko to the roster to add some depth as well.
The best advice I can give you though is to prepare yourself to watch Evan Dietrich-Smith and Don Barclay on Sunday for most of the game. It will probably get a little dicey at times watching these two try and block, but at least then we fans will get a real sense of which one of these two will become the bigger liability. That way when Lang does come back we will have a good sense which one should be sent back to the bench.
Another piece of good news is that Sam Shields is listed as probable, meaning that this will mark his return to action for the Packers. Where he fits in and how many defensive pass interference calls he will receive are yet to be determined, but at least we know that the cornerback unit will be crazy deep for this Sunday's game.
For those worried about Mike Neal it appears the shoulder injury is not as bad as feared earlier in the week. Even though he did not practice he is listed as "doubtful" instead of just out. Hopefully he should only miss this week with the current shoulder issue.
The last bit of good news to pass along is that we finally know when the Charles Woodson and Clay Matthews injury hiatus will end. The bad news is that it will probably be next week. Even though Woodson was a participant in practice this week the Packers are holding him out one more week to be sure. It seems the Packers wanted him in practice now in order to see how his body would hold up wearing shoulder pads again. This couldn't be done next week because the Packers are just about out of their allotment of padded practices for the year and next week they are in shells most of the week.
The Lions haven't listed any players out, and the most injured players are all listed as questionable. Here is their chart:
Name Position Injury Fri. Game Status
Jeff Backus T Hamstring LP Questionable
Gosder Cherilus T Knees LP Questionable
Louis Delmas S Knee DNP Questionable
Nick Fairley DT Quadriep LP Questionable
Chris Houston CB Ankle LP Questionable
Lawrence Jackson DE Concussion FP Probable
Jacob Lacey CB Foot / Achilles LP Questionable
Kassim Osgood WR Finger FP Probable
Corey Williams DT Knee DNP Questionable
Ashlee Palmer LB Thumb FP Probable
For those who were crossing their fingers to see Nick Fairley listed as "Out" you are probably a bit disappointed. Fairly did return to practice on Friday and is listed as questionable for the game. Also a bit of a surprise is that Louis Delmas did not practice on Friday, it appears as quickly as he returned to practice he then returned to not being at practice. Delams and Chris Houston are both listed as questionable for the game on Sunday.

We're gonna have to keep Kuhn back a lot to protect
. The Lions have the capability of scoring. Not saying they'll score. I'm saying they CAN score. Big difference.
That team is pure talent. It's got enough talent to be a top 10 NFL team. But they have serious morale problems and their coaches smoke crack.
We'll beat them as long as we don't look past them.
needs to drill this into the players. Protect
. Have Dom figure out some ways to put Stafford on his back. Be careful about Calvin Johnson as he's back. The first half of the year, he couldn't get TDs. Now he's getting them again.
Be warned Packers - do not overlook this team.
My man Donald Driver

Track List
Album Notes
Electro-house DJ Benny Benassi can't resist a spacy bleep or a dark beat, so don't be surprised that his mix honoring Greece's biggest outdoor club is a bit nocturnal sounding. Think summer nights, as opposed to summer days, and you're in the vicinity of Cavo Paradiso '12, a two-disc set jammed with nighttime, and big room toons that build, crash, and release as they see fit. Highlights come from the likes of Maceo Plex (opening with sass by exposing "Deez Nutz"), No_ID & Martin Volt (offering video game-inspired moombahton on "Zelda"), Madison ("Icarus" is an amazing slice of '70s-inspired space disco), Steve Aoki (rapping up a dubstep monster with that "Cudi the Kid"), plus Jacques Lu Cont (closing it all with the veteran, classic slice of house called "Church"). The whole thing plays out in seamless Benassi style, making this an easy recommendation for those who like their house sets with equal parts taste and flash. Get thee to Mykos (at least virtually). ~ David Jeffries

NIU's Model United Nations Club, which is advised by Dr. Andrea Radasanu and Dr. Guillerme Silva, participated the American Model United Nations Conference in Chicago in November 2010.
Club president Richard Walsh and vice president Veronica Martin, who also served as head delegate, ably led the group in representing Indonesia. The group represented both NIU and Indonesia admirably, participating vigorously in four intense days of negotiations. Student delegates helped write many of the resolutions that were passed by the General Assembly, and all of them acted in the spirit of cooperation, innovation, and respect that these conferences are meant to inspire.
All the students on the NIU team deserve to be recognized for their exemplary work, and four of them were in fact awarded "Best Delegation" awards by their fellow delegates. Cory Kazonovitz and former club president Shehzad Merchant were recognized for their superior contributions in the proceedings of the International Atomic Energy Agency. Martitza Gonzalez and Liam Steadman, who were attending their first major Model UN conference, were recognized as best delegation in the Commission on the Status of Women. For the first time, NIU also participated in a separate simulation of the International Court of Justice. John Paul Augustynowicz did an admirable job as one of the twelve justices, debating aspects of international law in relation to severalfascinating cases.
The Department of Political Science is proud to sponsor this worthwhile engaged learning experience, which provides a venue to debate international issues and to promote global peace and well-being.

Strollers for Tall Parents
Please Note! BPN is now a 501(c)(3) non-profit and has moved to a new website: BerkeleyParentsNetwork.org
I am not sure who stroller companies are making their strollers for but it is not for anyone over 5'7''. I have a commuter stroller which I use to get on public transportation everyday because I can't get my Perego in and out of the bus with my son in it by myself. I say this only because getting a new stroller isn't really an option as most of the ''lite'' strollers are all to low. The bar is straight across but is so low I have to hunch over to push it and my feet are always hitting the back end. Has anyone come up with a clever way to make an extension or does something like that exist and if so where can I get one?? Appreciate the advice thanks. tired of hunching
My stroller is not very comfortable to push because the handle doesn't reach far up enough and I have to sort of hunch over. It was a gift and I can't really afford to buy another one. Has anyone heard of a handle extension -- and do you know where I can buy one? Colleen
I am six-feet tall, and my husband is 6'5". We have a Peg Perrgo Pliko stroller, but it is much too short. I'm getting a back ache from pushing it around every day, and my husband avoids it completely. We have tried the extender handles and they help, but with the Pliko, I must take them off each time the stroller goes back in the trunk, which is time-consuming and generally frustrating. Can anyone recommend a really good stroller for very tall parents? Carolyn
But there is hope in the Maclaren line - we found the Techno especially good for our needs. It's a bit high-tech looking, but the benefit of that is it has great reflector tape all around it - it is very visible at night. MacLaren makes the tallest handles. They are worth the investment. We have had the Techno for about a year, and are very happy with it. The handles are very comfy, and my husband can push it without kicking it and without back strain. Maneuverability is great. And with my arm problems, hub does a lot of the pushing.
A year ago, the Techno was very hard to find. You can probably find it online and save the tax/shipping charges. We found ours in the discount room of Lullaby Lane in San Bruno. It later developed a small aesthetic problem with the hood fabric - it bubbled on the inside, so you saw it when the hood was folded back, probably caused by being cooked in the car. But even though it was from the cheapy store, Lullaby Lane replaced it with absolutely no guilt or hassle.
Other minor problem - since the last time we gate checked it at the Airport, it has had a squeak and seems a bit less responsive. We'll see how they do on 'tune-ups' for bent frames. In all, we've been very happy with the service and salesfolks' knowledge at Lullaby. Ann
When we traveled, we were able to easily shorten the handles on it each time we put it in a friend's car trunk. It fits in my Subaru w/out adjusting if I put it in on an angle. It adjusts so the baby can lay almost flat (flat enough for my boy, and we used it from 2 1/2 months on). It is also a pretty well-balanced stroller - I use a backpack diaper bag that I put on the stroller, and it only tips over when the baby is out of it when I add an additional bag. The only drawback is no peek-through window on the canopy, and I chose the cheaper model without the front bar, so there is no place to attach toys. I wish you luck, and share your frustrations with being a tall mama in baby world! Sharon

(Ivanhoe Newswire) – Researchers recently discovered that individuals exposed to higher concentrations of fine particulate air pollution have a faster thickening of the inner two layers of the common carotid artery, possibly increasing their risk of heart attack or stroke.
The study followed over 5,000 people living in six U.S. metropolitan areas who participated in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis and Air Pollution. Each participants' blood vessel thickness was measured using an ultrasound and then was measure again three years later. Air pollution levels at participants' houses were estimated as well. People living in residential areas with higher levels of air pollution had a faster thickening of their blood vessels.

By John Otano
In 2008, the New York Yankees missed the postseason for the first time since 1995, ending a streak that included four World Series titles over 13 years.
During the offseason that followed, the Yankees committed nearly half a billion dollars to CC Sabathia, Mark Teixiera and AJ Burnett.
In 2009, the New York Yankees won their 27th World Championship.
The Yankees are hated for their offseason spending sprees and they will continue to be hated for grabbing the top talent from free agency at their leisure. Reflective of the balls that flew out of the new Yankee Stadium, the Yankees are always a threat to hit a home run during the Hot Stove season. Going into the 2009 offseason, the Yankees won't spend as much as they did last year but there are issues that need to be addressed when assembling the 2010 roster.
Andy Pettitte, Johnny Damon and World Series MVP Hideki Matsui highlight a list of priority signings for the Yankees heading into the 2009 offseason. GM Brian Cashman and the Yankees organization have several tough decisions to make following their 27th World Championship.
Pettitte will return to the Yankees only if he decides he wants to keep pitching, and there has been no indication from him what his future with the Yankees is. Considering that the market for starting pitchers is thin, outside of type A free agents John Lackey and Randy Wolf, the Yankees could sign Pettitte to another one-year deal similar to the one he signed in 2008. If the Yankees keep to their plans of working Joba Chamberlain and Phil Hughes back into the rotation, Pettitte could serve as a No. 4 starter for the Yanks in 2010. If Pettitte decides that the 2009 season that ended with a fifth ring for him is enough, the Yankees could once again dig into those endless pockets and sign another free agent starting pitcher. A dark horse candidate for the Yankees could come in the form of Cuban defector, 21-year-old left-hander Aroldis Chapman. Chapman is a raw talent who features a 100 MPH fastball to go along with a biting slider. Chapman struggled with control in his appearance in the World Baseball Classic for the Cuban national team but is considered by scouts to be one of the best pitching prospects in the world.
One of the toughest decisions Cashman and company will have to make regards the re-signing of Johnny Damon and Hideki Matsui. Damon, 36, and Matsui, 35, are not long-term options at either the DH of LF positions for the Yankees. If Damon's agent, Scott Boras, pushes for a deal longer than one or two years, chances are Damon won't return to the Yankees in 2010. Matsui showed the Yankees in the World Series that he is still the slugger of old, despite battling creaky knees over the past few seasons. If the Yankees were to sign Matsui, it would be a short term contract and his role will be primarily to DH in 2010. If the Yankees fail to bring back either players, it wouldn't surprise anyone if the they made a substantial push for prized free agent outfielder Matt Holliday.
Filling out the bench is a priority for the Yanks as super-subs Jerry Hairston Jr. and Eric Hinske have declared for free agency. Versatile, dynamic bench players like Hairston and Hinske are few and far between in the majors. Xavier Nady, who missed most of last year with a season ending elbow injury, is likely to sign a deal where he will be a starting outfielder and all signs indicate that he will not return the to the Yankees in 2010.
Another player that may well be on his way out is backup catcher Jose Molina. Rookie Francisco Cervelli impressed with his cup of coffee during the '09 campaign and the Yankees may not be willing to pay a 34-year-old backup catcher despite Molina's direct impact on A.J. Burnett's performance. The Yankees would lose his veteran presence if they don't decide to re-sign the veteran but Cervelli is a promising up-and-coming catcher in the Yankees organization.
As with any offseason with the Yankees, you must always consider them major players. Although we won't see the Yankees flex their financial bulk this year the way they did last year, the road to a 28th World Championship starts this winter.

College Hockey:Maine Pulls Away Late For Win Over Bemidji State
ORONO, Maine — Entering Saturday's duel with Maine, Bemidji State knew it had to make considerable improvements on special teams. After surrendering six power-play goals Friday, the adjustment was crucial if they wished to have any success against the Black Bears in the series finale.
Fortunately for the Beavers the changes came. After going 1-for-8 against Maine the previous night, Bemidji State surprised a sold-out crowd of 5,450 at Alfond Arena with three power-play goals.
Sadly for Bemidji State, the Black Bears fired back with three of their own.
Sparked by two-goal nights from freshman Teddy Purcell and fourth-line center Wes Clark, No. 7 Maine (3-0-0) avoided a scare from the Beavers (0-2-0), winning 6-3 to sweep the two-game homestead.
One night after the Black Bears' special teams stole the limelight, it was Bemidji State's power play that allowed the unranked squad to hang tight with Maine till halfway through the third period. Combined with Friday's totals, Maine registered an impressive nine goals on the power play.
"We were fortunate to be able to convert on the power play three times tonight, otherwise it would've been a real nailbiter at the end," said Maine head coach Tim Whitehead.
After the match, the Beavers, while proud of their improved power play, knew exactly where they went wrong.
"It was kind of the tale of both nights, we just took bad penalties at bad times," said Luke Erickson, who beat netminder Ben Bishop for two goals. "With a team like this, you can't do that."
Bemidji head coach Tom Serratore expressed the same sentiment.
"If you make those mistakes against a team like these guys and it's in the back of the net," said. "They don't beat themselves. There's something to be said about that. I just love the way they play."
The biggest of the Beavers' sins came at 10:20 and 10:59 of the second period when Garrett Roth and Nathan Schwartzbauer joined each other in the box to give the Black Bears a 5-on-3 advantage. Only seven seconds after Schwartzbauer headed to the sin bin, Maine punished Bemidji State with a spectacular power-play goal from Purcell at 11:06.
The beauty came in the delivery, not the finish. With Purcell waiting on the stick side of netminder Matt Climie, junior Billy Ryan fired a laser to from the far corner with a man on him.
"It was perfect," said Purcell of the goal. "That could've been anyone putting it. Billy and I talked about it right before the faceoff. He said, 'Just go there, I'm going to put it right on your stick. I'm not even going to look.' There was one little seam and he put it through a defenseman's legs and I couldn't believe it. He put it right on my stick. Anyone could've scored that one."
The game-winner saw Brent Shepheard snag his third assist of the year.
"I thought they did a much better job on their penalty kill too," said Whitehead. "To actually get three goals on our power play after the way they were playing on their penalty kill was very good."
Still, the Black Bears were not in the clear until another freshman found the scoreboard. At 7:58 of the first period, Zach Sill eased the Maine faithful by scoring his first collegiate tally on a rebound out front. Sill capped off the play that began with a Rob Bellamy and Mike Hamilton led 3-on-1 rush. Coming nearly eight minutes into the third period; the goal quieted a feverish Bemidji State rally.
"They have the one-goal lead, our bench is jacked up, we're excited and we're waiting for it," said Serratore. "Then that happens and it definitely deflated us."
Erickson's goal, which pinged off the middle of Bishop's blocker post and into the net at 13:10 of second period, swung momentum back to the Beavers for the end of the second and the start of the third. With the tally, Bemidji became one of the rare teams to score three power play goals against Maine.
"That was the first time in a long time," said Whitehead about surrendering three power play goals in the contest. "But we've lost some key penalty killers. When you lose Travis Wight, Steve Mullin and all four forwards that killed for us, it's going to be a process on the penalty kill. It's going to take time to get back to the level we were at last year."
Purcell, who capped off the night with the sixth and final goal at 16:45, believes the Black Bears' usually sterling penalty kill will be back to normal soon.
"We're not too worried," said Purcell. "We have to get better with face-offs. You know another week of working out we should be okay. It's only our second week. We will get better as the season goes a long."
Purcell's second goal, another power play score, came after what Serratore categorized as another bad penalty.
"I was coming through the neutral zone with a head of steam and [Michel Leveille] made a great play and I kind of caught the defenseman flat-footed," said Purcell. "I went in and he was giving me glove. I was working on it all week with Bishop and that guy is a lot smaller, so I took advantage of it."
Clark opened the scoring at the start of the game by rifling an in-close rebound past Climie. The goal at 4:33 of the first period was one of three assisted by Bret Tyler. The offensive-minded defenseman finished the weekend with six assists.
Bemidji State proceeded to even up the game at 9:49 courtesy of a Ryan Miller tally. The goal, Miller's first of the year, came off a perfect one-timer. For the next 15 minutes, the Beavers continued to apply commendable pressure on Bishop and 14 seconds into the second they snatched their first lead of the series. On the play, Erickson shoved in a garbage puck.
"We were definitely opportunistic," said Serratore. "Again a couple of our money guys scored goals and they should: Miller and Erickson. They are our money guys. You want those guys to take charge and they did."
Yet, Maine had an answer for anything Bemidji threw at them. At 2:26 of the second period, defenseman Matt Duffy collected his second goal of the year off passes from Tyler and Keenan Hopson.
"Bret Tyler is just a good passer and he sent it over nice and easy, then I let it fly from the point," said Duffy.
Two minutes later, Clark registered his second backhanded goal of the night after sending a low shot over Climie.
"I just went hard to the net and buried it after the face-off," said Clark. It was the second even-strength tally for the fourth line that impressed all night.
"They played great and that's why we started them to tonight, they deserved it," said Whitehead. "I was very pleased to see them all contribute."
Maine finished the decision 3-for-11 on the power play, while Bemidji State was 3-for-7.
"We just had a lot more jump tonight," said Serratore. "Last night was last night. But I am not disappointed at all. Do I like to lose a game? Of course I don't like to lose a game. Conversely, this is an extremely difficult environment and I thought we responded well."
In net for Maine, Bishop recorded his third victory with 20 saves. On the other end, Climie fell after garnering 31 saves.
Maine returns to action next weekend in arguably the series of the week against North Dakota on the road. The Beavers will play Regina University in an exhibition Saturday.
"We're looking forward to next weekend at North Dakota; it's going to be big," said Clark.

Nobody really wants to drag out blankets and comforters when it's in the 90s outside, but you know you are going to need them soon, so why not get them organized now? You need to be prepared because the weather can change drastically overnight. You won't be happy if the temperature drops and you are caught without a clean fresh blanket to snuggle in. Doing it now can also save you money if any blankets need to be replaced.
Pull all of your blankets and comforters out of the closet or tote they have been stored in. Even if you washed them all before they were put away they may smell musty. You'll want to have plenty of time to wash them so they are nice and fresh smelling.
It's also possible that there are some blankets that need replaced due to being worn out. Maybe you even changed to a different sized bed since winter, especially if you have children. If your child went from a toddler bed to a twin or larger, you'll end up with a shortage of the right sized blankets.
Wash, organize and sort the blankets by size and condition. Late summer is a great time to wash and organize winter blankets, especially if you have an outdoor clothesline. Nothing smells better than laundry that is fresh from the clothesline.
It will also save you money by not using the dryer and heating up your house. If you must use your dryer, plan to dry the blankets in the late evening or early morning hours when there might be a chill in the house.
Now that the blankets are clean and dry, fold them and pile them up according to thickness, size and condition. Remember that when evenings are just starting to get chilly, your family will enjoy a nice soft blanket to cuddle with while watching television. Make sure those type of small blankets are easily accessible and ready.
This is also a good time to decide if some of the blankets need replaced due to wear and tear. Old blankets that are no longer suitable for your bed can be donated to animal shelters. The dogs will not care if it has worn thin or has a hole or tear in it and the volunteers will appreciate getting them.
Make a list of what blankets need to be replaced or what different sizes you need so that you can watch for sales. If you downsized from a king size to a smaller bed, you'll need smaller blankets. Did you have a child go away to college that might have taken some of their favorite blankets?
If several of the blankets are no longer usable, you'll need to replace them. This is also a great time to consider thick fluffy mattress covers for each bed to help your family stay snuggly warm. Shopping for replacement blankets in late summer will save money. Most stores will be offering sales on blankets and comforters to clear them out for new winter stock.
If you wait until you really need them, you will pay a higher price, because you won't be able to wait for a good sale. So, go ahead and start dragging blankets out now. You will be glad you did, when the weather suddenly changes and you need them to get through a chilly night.

Read More About Bolivia on GoNOMAD
Here are links to GoNOMAD stories about Bolivia, with some excerpts:
The Cerro Rico (Rich Hill), a striated yellow, gold and orange mass rising 800 meters (2,600 feet) above Potosi's already stunning altitude of 4092m (13,400 ft) is home to the mine that during the 1500s provided most of Western Europe with its silver.
Today the mine is running dry, only producing about 15% silver ore. The city that once boasted a population greater than that of London is now crumbling under the creeping vines of poverty.
While the city was once opulent, the mine could never be compared to anything but hell.
The main reason backpackers and tourists come to Potosi is to do a mine tour that allows you to descend into the miners´ world for a day. The tours cost from about $10 to $15 and last about four hours.
Tracing the Rise and Fall of the Inca Empire
Inca Trails tells the story of a thrilling journey by mule through some of the most remote, rugged and beautiful wilderness in the Bolivian and Peruvian Andes.
My quest was to trace the rise and fall of the Inca empire through a journey from its birthplace in Lake Titicaca, through the remote Apolobamba range of the Andes, to its pinnacle at Cuzco and Machu Picchu, and beyond to the scene of its final stand against the Conquistadores in the densely forested mountains of Vilcabamba.
Woven throughout the tale of the journey is the gripping, poignant story of the rise and fall of the glittering, but short-lived, Inca empire.
A shiver ran down my spine as the solemn Kallawaya hurled alcohol over the fire to invoke the spirits of the high mountains. Leaping flames lit up the darkened stone room and showed off the kneeling figure's striped scarlet robes in their full splendour. The Kallawayas are the healers and fortunetellers of Bolivia's remote Cordillera Apolobamba. This one was about to foretell my future.
The Kallawaya took out a bag of coca leaves, placed one on a cloth on which he had already placed a cross, chewed some others then threw small handfuls onto the cloth. After several tense minutes, the Kallawaya pronounced my journey through the Apolobamba mountains would go well. "Go ahead," he said, "go ahead." I sighed with relief.

Helmstetter Earns First Career Ivy Player of the Week Honor
Princeton women's basketball forward Kristen Helmstetter was named Ivy League Player of the Week, it was announced Monday. The junior earns her first career conference accolade and the Tigers' third of the season. She shares this week's honor with Harvard's Christine Clark.
In her first career Ivy start versus Penn on Jan. 12, Helmstetter finished with 12 points, going 4-for-5 from the field and a perfect 3-for-3 from beyond the arc. She matched a career-high with seven assists, for second-best in the game, while adding a steal and a pair of boards in only 25 minutes of work.
Versus the Quakers, Helmstetter accounted for five of Princeton's first 13 points, while adding three assists during that span to jut the Tigers out to a 13-0 lead over the first five minutes of action. Princeton defeated Penn 77-47, winning its 25th consecutive Ivy contest and 14th straight at home.
On Jan. 8 versus Navy, she tallied 14 points, going 6-for-7 from the field, while grabbing six boards to conclude the non-conference slate.
Helmstetter is averaging 8.9 points and 4.9 rebounds per game on the year. Since moving into the starting lineup 10 games ago, she has scored in double figures eight times and established new career-highs in nearly every statistical category.
She also was recognized as College Sport Madness' Ivy League Player of the Week, for the week of Jan. 14.
Helmstetter and the Tigers will take a brief break for first semester final exams before resuming Ivy play at Cornell on Friday, Feb. 1 and Columbia the following evening.

Stayin' Alive, Part II
If I Can Just Make It Until Spring Break
You survived first semester. Had time to breathe over the holidays. And January marked a new beginning - you were ready to face the last half of the year.
Suddenly it's two months later and you can't wait for Spring Break. You find yourself daydreaming and thinking—
"Our school needs more assemblies."
"If we could just have one more snow day."
Well, get a grip, because you'll soon be facing—
- Testing
- Parents worried about their kids failing
- Final grades and recommendations
You need some strategies to help you make it through to the end of the year.
Some Strategies
Here are some ideas to help you lift your spirits, support a fellow teacher, and get ready for testing:
1. Read through your "De-Stress File." If you haven't created one yet, see Stayin' Alive for some ideas.
2. Take the time to reflect on what you've accomplished this year. Whether you plan to teach next year or not, it's important for your future that you reflect on what you have accomplished and what you have learned. In the trenches, you learn a lot quickly. Make a list. Celebrate the successes (including the so-called "failures" that were lessons for you).
3. Do something now to help a new teacher next year.
- Start a notebook with a list of things you've learned so far this year. If you made a list for #2 above, use it as a starting point.
Include phrases like "I learned that not all kids will like me and that doesn't bother me anymore" and "My team decided to focus on using 'I' messages, and the kids have really responded positively" and "X method helped me establish a routine so that I didn't have to keep reminding students to Y."
Make a list of things you wish you'd known at the start of the year.
Write a paragraph about each success you had, like how you met special needs of students or handled the requests of parents. Describe activities that you had surprising success with.
- Keep adding to the list until the end of the year.
- Mid-July, edit the list. Make it into a little booklet or binder that you can present to a beginning teacher in August.
It's reassuring for beginning teachers to see another teacher's honest reactions to teaching. And to see that teachers are always learning.
When you're a new teacher, two of the hardest lessons are: accepting the fact that you don't know everything—and realizing that no one ever expected you to.
4. Prepare yourself for testing season.
- Find out more about student assessment and testing in general. Why we do it. What we learn. How we teach from there. For an overview on the subject, see Student Assessment and Testing. For a list of books available for purchase, see NEA Books on Assessment.
- Study the implications of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) —also called the No Child Left Behind Act—on testing.
- Learn about the accommodations for students with disabilities. See Testing for Students with Disabilities under ESEA/NCLB.
In Summary
Address the facts—your energy and enthusiasm are low right now. Spring Break is just around the corner. Tests are just around the corner. Do a little research and reflection. Make some preparations. And you'll be out of the doldrums in no time and back on track.

Sharknado 2: The Second One wrapped its first week of shooting in New York City on Friday and the sequel is going gangbusters when it comes to cameos and celebrity casting. There is even a rumor that the made for TV Movie may have a soundtrack by Sugar Ray. We were on set and saw Mark McGrath of Sugar Ray, Judd Hirsch, Vivica A. Fox, Ian Ziering and (briefly) Tara Reid. Yet there were some other VIPs who made it to the movie: Karla Koenig and Shannon Matheis.
Koenig and Matheis were winners of a Twitter contest sponsored by MTI Home Video and Family Video. Both sent in award winning photos of themselves in a Sharknado inspired theme. The prize was an all expense paid trip for each of them and a guest to New York City and a role as an extra in what very well may be the hottest disaster/horror film of the summer.
Koenig said, "It was such a fun trip and we met so many nice people. I was not expecting to win at all. I just thought it was something cool to do as a project with my daughter, Samantha. Needless to say I was thrilled when Family Home Video sent me a direct message in September on Twitter saying I had won and would be filming in NYC sometime between November and March. I enjoyed seeing how the director needed different shots and angles of the same footage. It was really interesting to see the equipment they use and nice of the actors to take time after the shoot and have pictures taken with us. I really would like to thank Mark Dresner of MTI Video for making this the best trip ever and thank you to Family Home Video for the best time of my life!"
Her sentiments were echoed by Matheis, "That was one of the best trips I've been on. I've never won a contest like this before but they took care of everything. Mark at MTI Home Video was great in making sure we were happy and taken care of every step of the way. I entered the contest because I had seen the first Sharknado and thought it was a blast. I had my brother take the photo on a Sunday afternoon at a lake by my house and he added in the shark. Our part in the movie was probably cut down to less then expected due to the weather and they were already behind schedule but they really did a good job of making us feel welcome on the set. The best part for me was just being able to hang out on set and watch the process involved in filming, some people may find it a little boring but it was my favorite part of the trip. The Asylum really made this a great trip by letting us have so much access and even taking us out to dinner with the director and producer. I hope our scene makes it into the movie but even if it doesn't I'll still remember this trip as an awesome adventure."
Principal photography on the set seemed to go well, although the weather was far from perfect, the slightly overcast day acted as a natural light box and seemed to go with the weather of a Sharknado.
Sharknado 2: The Second One is scheduled to debut on the SyFy channel in July.

CIRCUS CARNIVAL EXTRAVAGANZA TYLER TURNS 3!! (50 photos)
Sign In or Register Now
I put this party together for my son Tyler who absolutely loves animals,- this was a bit of a challenge in the beginning, but who's not up for a challenge? It took me about 1 year to plan ahead and buy props & decor, being a stay at home mommy,time was not always something I had a lot of, especially with a 2 year old! I always like to think out of the box, I wanted something different and unique, but yet something my son could relate to. I started to look for clowns, clowns I have never really been fond of since a little girl, however after a little research I came across a few that were definately friendly cute, and unique for my decor. What's a party without the touch of a Wonderful Nana? Without her touch I wouldn't of been able to create the enlcosed look I had in mind. She created all of my multi- color hanging backdrops along with the life size animal's sashes (just like the animals wear in the circus). Watching Circus Movies definately inspired me as to detail and including items that I wouldn't normally think of associating a circus with. (Such as Disney's Dumbo/ & Water for Elephants) I also made sure I created a CD soundtrack to try to create that enviorment. I added both Circus and Carnival Music. The concession carts were almost a necessity for this party. What would a Circus Carnival Party be without Hot dogs, Cotton Candy, Popcorn and Snow cones?.. Especially on a hot day. Having a friendly clown and Face painter were also a necessity, especially with so many kids, that definately helped me out so much keeping them entertained. The Carnival Game area, was plenty to do as well. We had a fun of variety of games, which included duck pond, bean bag toss game, duck shoot, milk jug throw, coke crate ring toss, balloon darts,fish bowl game and of course the photobooth & Carnival face cut out had to be included for more fun & activities. All the guests were really excited and said that I had created that feel like they were really at the Circus! Somehow at the end everything turned out great, and tummies left full and satisfied. I always could of used more time to set up and really focus on the smaller details. With all that was incorporated into his birthday party, I really don't know how I can top this one next year.... I think a Circus Carnival birthday party is perfect for for any little boy or little girl, because there is so much for all the guests to participate in, great games, Magic shows to watch, getting your face painted and eating simple foods that bring back great memories of when you were young and went to the circus! Thank you for letting me share our party with you!

I use
gst-launch-0.10 v4l2src num-buffers=1 ! jpegenc ! filesink location=$HOME/Desktop/test.jpg
to take snapshots. It works well. However in some light situation I need to drop some of the first frames the webcam outputs so that the webcam white balance doesn't provide me with an impossible to view image.
Do you know how could I do that?
With the GUI of cheese I can do it without any problem, but I need to automate this via CLI.
Many thanks.

The Protein Deal: A Nurse Gives the Lowdown
We know you've got questions about your nutrition. As peta2 employees, we can tell you what has worked for us, but we're definitely not nutritionists, so we wanted to let a nurse answer the ole protein Q for you (though, of course, we're just giving you this info cuz we're nice—we don't want to replace your doctor! If you need medical or other professional advice, of course go see a qualified specialist who can advise on your individual needs). Check out what former-peta2-employee-turned-nurse Kelli (that's her to the right!) has to say, then be sure to comment with your favorite way to get your protein. Hummus is practically my BFF; I'm just sayin'.
"If I go vegan, will I get enough protein?"
Is it probable that little Suri Cruise will grow up with a complex? Yes. Is it probable that a vegan will get enough protein? YES! Let's start at the very beginning with a quick and painless chemistry lesson. Proteins are called amino acids for their chemical nature because "amino" refers to the fact that they contain nitrogen—unlike carbs and fats. Of the 20 amino acids, 9 are considered "indispensable," meaning that your body can't make them itself in sufficient quantity. And for that reason … we dine!
Proteins build tissues and aid the body with water balance, metabolism, its defense system, and breakdown for energy in times of starvation. So, they are important … but contrary to popular belief, and some dimwit named Dr. Atkins, there IS such a thing as too much protein. The body has a specific need for protein and once that need is met, additional protein is deaminated (normal people language: nitrogen is removed) and stored as fat. Excess nitrogen in your system makes your kidneys work overtime and increases calcium losses in the bone. In other words, your waistline grows, your bones shrink, and your kidneys hate you. Basically, it's bad.
Dear Protein,
That is not cool at all!
Therefore, eating excess protein will not give you the body you want! Only exercising with enough protein to support growth can do that. But how much is enough to support growth? The general recommendation for daily protein intake is 0.8 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight. In other words, you only need 40 – 55 grams of protein daily if you weigh 110 – 150 pounds. This value is so easy to reach, that as long as you're eating the recommended daily calorie intake and not only getting all those calories from unhealthy foods like chips and soda, you'll have no problem.
Here's a little protein lowdown for ya:
2 slices of whole wheat bread = 5 grams
1 cup of soymilk = 7 grams
2 tablespoons of peanut butter = 8 grams
1 cup of pasta = 8 grams
1 veggie burger = 8-16 grams depending of the brand
1 cup of almost any type of bean = 12-18 grams
1 cup of soybeans = 30 grams!
Generally, Americans eat way more protein than necessary. When it's in the form of flesh, which carries animal fat, you're flirting with obesity, heart disease, diabetes, high blood pressure, and some forms of cancer. I'm sure it didn't help that the American Dietetic Association (ADA) used to say that meticulously combining certain vegetarian foods was the only way to get all of your nutrients … but not anymore. The ADA has jumped on the veggie wagon, saying that a balanced veg diet can do you wonders. They also have a nerdy value called a chemical score, derived from the amino acid pattern in food, to identify the best proteins. Surprise, surprise: The high ranking list includes rice, peanuts, oats, whole wheat, corn, soybeans, sesame seeds, and peas!

I'm a CW operator and my interests are contesting, county hunting, and DX chasing. QSL via LOTW, except counting hunting via QSL or MRC.
My dad introduced me to the wonderful world of amateur radio when I was 10 years old. Together we built a Heathkit transmitter, bought a Hallicrafters receiver and made our first backyard dipole antenna. I received my novice license KN0YRQ shortly thereafter. Dad was licensed as K0IEX. He was the AM/SSB guy, and I was the CW guy. Dad is an SK now, but thanks dad for everything you did.
My community does not allow antennas, so my antennas are of the stealth variety. My permanent antenna is a 3 meter vertical covering 10-40 meters, For DX contests and other special events, I have a variety of fiberglass pole antennas that I put up for the weekend: delta loop, Moxon, vertical, etc. I would enjoy sharing ideas on stealth and small yard antennas.

GREENVILLE, N.C. – The East Carolina women's tennis team hosted its final tournament of the fall semester last weekend as it played host to Campbell and North Carolina Central. The Lady Pirates captured four singles flights and tied for one as Yilian Zhang, Nicole LaDuca, Danielle Terpko, Dana Gray, Abby Richmond, and Karling Watson went undefeated.
Nicole LaDuca and Neena Wanko teamed up for the first time to win both of their doubles matches in flight two, while Danielle Terpko and Yilian Zhang dropped only four games in two matches to win flight three.
Zhang, a senior from Oak Hill, Va., finished the fall with an 8-2 record at positions one and two and won flight two after sweeping a pair of matches. Meanwhile, LaDuca turned in two three-set matches to win flight three and finish the fall season with an 11-2 record.
After winning her first match against NC Central's Mia Ramic by a score of 6-2, 6-2, Terpko defeated Campbell's Ewa Telenga, 7-5, 6-4.
"I am most proud of how the team put in the hard work and competed all season," Terpko said. "It paid off with a successful fall semester."
Gray, who won her first flight of the fall, swept her first opponent, Brianna Gatson, from NC Central 6-0, 6-0, and then closed out her fall season with a three-set victory over Campbell's Lourdes Ros, 6-3, 4-6, 1-0.
Competing in flight seven, Richmond and Watson tied for first as the duo won both of their matches. Richmond cruised through the competition winning both of her matches in straight sets, while Watson carried the momentum from her last tournament to capture two hard fought victories.
