VIROQUA, Wis. -- A sexual assault charge is dropped against a Vernon County police chief arrested for alleged misconduct in office.
Shay Larson was arrested last month on charges he used his position as police chief in Readstown to gain sexual favors and for lying to investigators.
Larson was also charged with sexual assault after a teenage boy told investigators Larson groped him and told him not to tell anyone.
The assault charge against Larson was dropped in a hearing Wednesday afternoon in Vernon County Court. News 8 could not confirm Wednesday why the charge against Larson was dropped.
Larson is next scheduled to appear in court in late April.

Car bomb outside mosque in Syria kills dozensBy DIAA HADID
and BASSEM MROUE
the associated press | February 15,2014ap photo
This image from a Shaam News Network video shows vehicles smoldering after an explosion outside a mosque in Yadouda, Syria, on Friday. Dozens of people were killed in the blast.BEIRUT A car bomb blew up outside a mosque in a rebel-held village in southern Syria as worshippers were leaving after Friday prayers, killing dozens of people and filling clinics and hospitals with the wounded, anti-government activists said.
The explosion in Yadouda charred vehicles parked nearby and damaged the mosque, which has a white dome, according to video images posted by activists who are fighting to oust President Bashar Assad.
Yadouda is in the southern province of Daraa, the birthplace of the uprising against Assad that began with peaceful protests in March 2011 and morphed into a civil war that has killed more than 130,000 people.
The motive for Fridays blast could not immediately be determined and activists provided varying death tolls ranging from 29 to 43. State-run TV confirmed the bombing but said only 3 people were killed.
Car bombs have frequently been used by Islamic extremists both against the government and against moderate rivals in the Sunni-led opposition movement. Government forces also have been known to use explosive-packed vehicles and the two sides frequently trade blame in attacks targeting mosques.
An activist in the nearby region of Quneitra, Jamal al-Golani, said the car bomb killed at least 29 people of which 18 were identified. He gave The Associated Press a list of the names of the identified men who were killed.
The Britain-based Syrian Observatory for Human Rights, which uses a wide network of local activists to track violence in the country, said 32 people were killed, including a child and 10 rebels.
Another activist in Daraa, Ahmad al-Masalmeh, gave a death toll of 43. He said the car bomb blew up next to a tanker truck filled with diesel causing a large fire and burning some bodies beyond recognition. The mosque is known as Ammar bin Yasser, although some people refer to it as al-Baraa bin Thabet, al-Masalmeh said.
Clinics in the village and nearby areas were full of wounded people and there were calls over loudspeakers for residents to donate blood. Al-Masalmeh added that some of the wounded were taken across the border to Jordan for treatment.
Hospitals are overwhelmed with the wounded, the man said via Skype.
Videos posted by activists online showed several charred vehicles outside the damaged mosque with a white dome. The video appeared genuine and corresponded to other AP reporting of the events.
Earlier Friday, the United Nations paused the evacuation of civilians from the embattled Syrian city of Homs, a senior U.N. official said, while the government screened military-age men who had left the area.
Meanwhile near Lebanon, Syrian forces and rebels clashed over the strategic town of Yabroud, causing hundreds of people to flee over the border.
The pause in evacuations came just a day after a cease-fire was extended for three more days in Homs. Hundreds more civilians are believed to still be trapped in a rebel-held medieval quarter known as Old Homs.
World Food Program director in Syria Matthew Hollingworth told the AP by telephone from Damascus that several dozen men who left Old Homs during earlier evacuations, were being held in a school elsewhere in the city and being questioned by Syrian authorities. U.N. officials were present at the school, he said.
The agreement has been we will now concentrate on the process of completing the regularization of status of the men from 15 to 55, Hollingworth said. Only when thats done, will we look at another evacuation. Later in the day however he said the U.N was not linking the next evacuation to the mens release.
The Syrian government considers men of military age to be potential combatants who must obtain security clearance before being released. Those suspected by authorities of being rebels will likely be detained.
The men being held in the school were among 1,400 people evacuated by the U.N. and the Syrian Red Crescent from opposition-held areas of Homs over the past week as a fragile truce took hold between forces loyal to Assad and armed rebels.
In all, more than 400 men from Homs have surrendered to Syrian forces, and around 200 have been released, according to an AP tally.MORE IN Wire NewsCHARLESTON, S.C. Full Story

DALHOUSIE, N.B. - Police say two teenage girls are expected to recover after falling into a ravine and getting stranded for hours in the woods in Dalhousie, N.B.
RCMP say at 2:20 p.m. on Tuesday they received a call from a girl on a cellphone who said she and another girl had fallen down a steep ravine next to a walking trail.
The girls, aged 14 and 16, were not injured but were not dressed for cold weather and were showing signs of hypothermia and frostbite when police arrived.
Police officers pulled them up using their batons and carried them out of the woods.
Officers say the girls had been stuck at the bottom of the ravine since about 10 a.m., and were brought out of the woods at around 2 p.m.
Police say they were taken to the Campbellton Regional Hospital, where they were treated for exposure and later released.

i kinda agree.....its either gallo or randolph unfortunately. ill take randolph....bye bye gallo
This is my opinion, not a fact...I'm not asking you guys to agree with this because I don't have much information to back this up, when I arrive home from school/work/boxing, Ill add some tidbits to make sense of this.
I understand you guys see Carmelo as a top 10 player, thats understandable...the media brainwashes a lot of people, and people are easily convinced by what they see on TV.
I believe our front court is the most perfect front court in the NBA.
They're all the same height, but all have different styles.
Gallo - Shooting/Toughness/IQ/Alot of Skills all around 6"10 230 lbs SF/PF. A leader, and a has great vision offensively and defensively. Team plays great when he's on the floor and he wants to win games, not pad stats. So much potential.
Amare - Post scoring, athelicism, all star level of player, 9 rebounds and a couple of blocks per game...a great primary scoring option, playoff experienced...dominates the best players in the game.
Randolph - Marcus Camby meets Lamar Odom. Probably will average 15-17 ppg a most, but will give us 2+ blocks per game 10+ rebounds and 3+ assist. Dynamically fundamentally and athletically all in one. 6"10 230 lbs
Getting Carmelo would be greedy.
But don't take this thread as a point where im going to favor one side.
To get to the other side, if we were to trade for Carmelo.
I would trade Gallo, believe it or not.
I just feel Randolph is a player you can't pass up on...he has too many attributes that will separate him from the rest of his class. He can legit play SF/PF/C....that center position being more important.
We have so many wing players, it decreases Gallo's value less and less.
I hate to grade Gallo, but Im just being realistic here if this trade goes down, we should trade him over
Its a ****ty situation.
I love our team and players...I want to see them play together for a reason.
i kinda agree.....its either gallo or randolph unfortunately. ill take randolph....bye bye gallo
I dont want to give up nobody. The Knicks made the first move by offering Gallo and Denver said no. If Denver calls us with Melo holding the Nuggets hostage, they get peanuts. Gallo and AR stay here!!!!!!!! Melo to NY!!!!! Chandler, Curry gone!!!
4 team trade I made up, what you think:
[Only registered and activated users can see links. ]
I agree both AR and Gallo for Melo would be fail. I also think that if we trade for Melo Gallo out of the two should be the one to go considering we will be bringing back a true superstar SF to replace a budding all-star in Gallo. AR is too versatile, young and athletic to be the one to go. Further his ability to defend and play multiple positions makes him a better fit.
I wish Melo would just man up and say I want NYC or I am not signing an extension. If he were smart he would wait to be a FA and come to NYC without us losing anything.
Here's a trade scenario I like! In this scenatio, Chicago and Philly each would have to send a #2 pick to Denver but I feel all teams would be happy with this scenario. Essentially Chicago would be trading Rose for Melo straight up and I think any GM would be happy with this on either side though Melo is the better player here... Rose gives Denver a player that they could sell to the fans as Philly gets salary relief and a nice replacement in Chandler although Azubuike could be a good player if healthy but he has an expiring contract so it let's Philly take a risk without taking a salary hit long term.... Chicago looses Rose, a fan favorite, but they will get over it quickly since Melo is a better player and more so a better FRANCHISE player than a undersized 2.... Douglas gives them another guard with scoring potential that could come off the bench and play the 1 and the 2 at times.... The Knicks get Deng a 3/2 that can score and defend. While he is a step down from Melo, he still is a quality player and a potential all star. Same as Iggy, while he is not a consistent scorer he is awesome in the transition game and open court. He and is a monster defender and since there will be a lot of spot up 1 on 1 defending in Mike D's system, Iggy can defend his spot like a Mo'Fo!! You keep Gallinari and you have a 3/4 coming off the bench that is a scorer and can stretch the d... Randolph is a 3/4/5 so he is an extremely versatile player that can excel in this system. We lose Turiaf but we could find bodies to throw in a the 5 to give Amare and Randolph rest for a few minutes.

Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
FYI - I think Gallo will be a special player but I lean on the side of AR if I had to make a choice.
Real Talk
But a scorer is easy to find. A scorer of Melo's caliber? No, but they don't need a top 10 NBA caliber player to drop buckets for them so why should they risk it?
So while I don't exactly want Gallo to go, it's kind of the same situation. We can afford to trade unproven/hasn't arrived yet talent for a proven player at the same position. I still believe that if it comes down to Denver trading him here or Melo walks we'll be able to pull a Kwame Brown for Pau type of deal where it's heavily lopsided in one team's favor. But if we had to lose Gallo or Randolph then I vote for Gallo since the move wouldn't jeopardize the team dynamic.
Guess if I was simple in the mind...everything would be fine.
Smh, I was starting to wonder if some of you guys here actually cared about NY B-Ball. It's clear what I've been seeing around here...
like Flavor Flav Said "my vision ain't blurry, boyyy!"
It's going to be a multi team deal I'm sure and hoping it will include Gallinari. Denver<ST1</ST1 isn't going to risk another Lebron fiasco, he will be traded. They're going to want something in return and Mello is pushing them to send him here. Gallo will be a distraction just like last year, I saw with my own eyes (court side seats) how the coach favors him over the rest of the team. When Nate went on scoring sprees the coach benched him and told him to relax because he was yelling to load…wtf. I remember Gallo picking up 2 quick fouls in the first quarter of a game the coach smiled (with that silly face) and told him "don't worry about it" and patted him on the ass as he made his way to the bench. I saw the look in the other player's eyes. I saw Chandler <ST1shake his head and Nate started "humming a song" while shaking his head in disbelief, Curry doesn't like coach either and I think it's for the same reason. Harrington, and Duhon were ass kissers, I even heard Al call coach "sir" for most of the night (this ain't the military). The only players I saw play with skillz and dignity was Chandler <ST1and Lee.
WE don't need Gallo; we can find other shooters who aren't one dimensional, inconsistent, and favored by the coach. In this Eastern Conference we don't need tall weak boney players hanging around the three. We need bangers, creators, defenders, and experience…real ballers.
The media is hyping up Gallos game, which in a way is a good thing. The media did great things for Lee and Duhon…as far as promoting an exaggerated dynamic duo. The same goes for Gallo; I know how the game works. I know what this dude did last year, he tried to be a fake shooting guard in an scrawny centers frame. and I'm sure he didn't bulk up in weight or worked on his post and mid range game. He'll be beyond the ark tossing them up again hopping a good percentage of them will fall in. I honestly think Andy can be that 3 pt threat for us along with a couple of other players. Matter of fact, everyone in the NBA should be able to make these shots. What separates you from the D-League and the collegiate level is the amount of diversity you have on the court when dealing with adversity. Gallo is just too lame to be giving the key to this city…in this day and age. He is not that special guy the coach is trying to make him out to be, especially with a soft back that throws off the rhythm in the individual's game. Gallo will be a hindrance because D'Antonio is trying to turn a player into someone he's not. Coach might break the poor boy's back in the long run.
Why wait for the middle of the season (when Gallo's obvious flaws will be noticed) when we have the chance now to package him in a multi team deal and skate away scot free like we did with Duhon? The media has done its job, now its the brass turn.
Winners win now and later. Losers are use to losing and will often plan for an uncertain future. Conservative gets you little while being assertive doubles your chances at getting you what you want.

Meth ingredients found in storage unit
An Elkins man was arrested Wednesday after police allegedly discovered a slew of ingredients used to make methamphetamine in a storage unit he had been renting.
Jeremy Scott Davis, 33, of 101 Wilson Lane, was charged with one felony count of operating or attempting to operate a clandestine laboratory.
According to the criminal complaint in the Randolph County Magistrate Clerk's office, Deputy Sheriff D.L. VanMeter with the Randolph County Sheriff's Office made contact with Jeremy Davis' wife, Carolyn Davis, in the magistrate clerk's office Monday when she was attempting to secure a protective order against her husband.
Carolyn Davis reportedly told VanMeter that her husband had been arrested for domestic battery Sunday night following a domestic incident. (Magistrate court records indicate Jeremy Davis was arrested for domestic battery, a misdemeanor.) Prior to the domestic incident and arrest, however, Carolyn Davis said her husband allegedly left the couple's residence with a garbage bag and a "dark-colored" duffle bag and later returned without the duffle bag, the complaint states.
When Jeremy Davis was arrested Sunday night, he left the keys to an Aero Self Storage unit located on the Beverly Five-lane. On Monday, Carolyn Davis took the keys and went to remove some of her belongings from the unit, she told VanMeter. When she opened the unit, she found the same dark-colored duffle bag Davis had left with the night before – and discovered that it contained materials allegedly used to manufacture meth.
The same day, VanMeter and Patrolman B.T. Tice with the Elkins Police Department executed a search warrant on the storage unit after verifying that Jeremy Davis' name was on the lease for the unit.
Inside the unit, VanMeter and Tice – a certified clandestine laboratory technician – allegedly located a blue duffle bag filled with a number of methamphetamine precursors, including Coleman fuel, clear tubing lined with a white residue, coffee filters, cold packs and a green plastic bottle also containing residue.
Tice performed a field test on a blue funnel and a clipboard, both of which returned a positive result for the presence of methamphetamine.
Magistrate court records indicate that Jeremy Davis was charged with three felony counts of forgery and three felony counts of uttering in late February for defrauding three people to whom he sold insurance. Prior to his arrest Wednesday, Jeremy Davis had been free on a $500 cash-only bond.
Magistrate Rob Elbon set bond at $25,000 cash only Wednesday, and Jeremy Davis remained in the Tygart Valley Regional Jail as of presstime.
The penalty for a conviction of operating or attempting to operate a clandestine laboratory is imprisonment in the state penitentiary for two to 10 years, a fine between $5,000 and $25,000 or both.

You have a network running a distributed setup of Norman Virus Control 5.99. Now you want to upgrade/migrate this network to run Norman Endpoint Protection. This article will guide you through the necessary migration steps.
illustration of network setup – your network does not have to match
There are several ways to migrate existing NVC clients over to NPRO.
The administrators guide to Norman Endpoint Protection describes, in detail, some of the ways this migration can be done. The methods described in the administrators guide are manual methods of migration, which means that they require some manual copying of configuration files.
Because some users want a more automated migration method, Norman has developed a tool called PushMig. This tool is designed to automate some of the manual copying and distribution necessary for the migration of NVC clients to Endpoint Protection.
Note: If the network contains more the one NVC distribution server, it is necessary to first migrate the distribution servers and then migrate the clients under each distribution server. This will be explained at a later point in this article.
Note: The notation "~Norman…" used in this article indicates the Norman folder that contains the NVC application, configuration- and update-files. This folder is normally found at "C:Norman" or "C:Program FilesNorman", but can be at other locations depending on what was chosen during the initial installation of NVC.
These steps will be explained in more detail later in the article.
The first step in the process is to acquire all the necessary installation files. The files needed are:
These files can be found on Norman's website.
After downloading the necessary files you are ready to start the migration process.
1.1 - The simplest way to remove the NVC Distribution server is to run the removal tool called "Delnvc5". This executable file can either be called by running the command "delnvc5" or by running the executable file found in the "~Norman vcinDelnvc5.exe".
Note: You can also remove NVC by using "Add/Remove programs" in the Control Panel.
Note: If you don't find "Delnvc5" on your computer or it does not work, you can download the latest version from Norman's website. But it is recommended that your local "Delnvc5" be used to uninstall.
1.2 - After "Delnvc5" has started you should be presented with 2 choices, "Repair" and "Remove". Choose "Remove" and press next. After the removal process has been completed, you will have to restart the computer.
1.3 - When the computer has restarted, you will no longer see the N-icon on the taskbar. At this point you will have to delete the "~Norman" folder. Open Windows Explorer, navigate to where the "~Norman" folder is located and delete the entire "Norman" folder.
Note: If you get a message saying that some files could not be deleted because they are being used by a running application, you should check to see if a process with the name "Zanda.exe" is running. If "Zanda.exe" is running, kill the process and re-attempt to delete the Norman folder. If this does not work, you will have to start windows in "Safe Mode" and then attempt to remove the Norman folder.
2.1 - At this point there will be no Norman Antivirus running on the server. You can now install "Norman Endpoint Protection" (NPRO) and "Norman Endpoint Manager" (NEM).
If you are not logged on the server using the Domain Administrator, do so now.
2.2 - Start the installation of Norman Endpoint Protection (with the setup file downloaded earlier). Go through the installation until you are presented with "Setup Type" options page. Here is where you choose whether you wish to perform a "Complete" installation, "Only Antivirus" installation or if you wish to perform custom installation.
If your server has lots of free storage space (>20GB), you can simply select "Complete" for installation of Antivirus and Distribution server.
If not, you can select custom and deselect some of the languages you do not need.
Note: Remember that the server will only download updates for the languages chosen, but this setting can be altered later.
2.3 – Reboot the server if prompted.
2.4 - After the setup, run "Internet Update". You can do so by right clicking on the Norman tray icon and pressing "Internet Update".
2.5 – When this is done you will have to setup your "Norman Endpoint Manager".
This guide will not go through the setup of NEM. For this you should consult the Administrator's Guide for Norman Endpoint Protection.
After performing the steps stated above, you will have a fully functional Norman Endpoint Manager running on your server.
Now, it's time to use the tool PushMig to migrate the NVC5 clients to Norman Endpoint Protection. To run PushMig correctly, log in to the server where you installed Norman Endpoint Manager, using the Domain Administrator account.
3.1 - Run the PushMig executable you downloaded earlier. You should now be presented with a console saying that you should check that the correct language(s) and platforms are selected.
This is because PushMig will not migrate any NVC client that the NEM does not support, ie. download updates for. For example if your NEM is set up to only download updates for "English" NVC5 clients, no "Norwegian" NVC5 clients will be migrated by PushMig.
Note: The "English" and "Norwegian" references above refer to the language of the NVC5 application, not the Operating System the application is running on.
This is also valid for Operating Systems. If you have set up NEM to only download updates for XP, no Vista or Windows 7 clients will be migrated.
Consult the Administrator's Guide if you wish to change these setting.
In PushMig, you will be asked to press "Enter to review the settings".
This will take you to the Norman Endpoint Manager's web interface where you can change the settings for supported languages and operating systems.
3.2 - If you select new languages or operating systems, you will be asked to run Internet Update. Press enter after running "Internet Update".
3.3 - Now you will now be asked to launch the "Migration" page in the NEM web interface by pressing "Enter".
As the PushMig console states, you have to choose "C:PushMigDistrib" as the migration path and then press "Migrate". When you see the status "Migration was successful" on the "Migration" page, you can close the NEM web interface and go back to the PushMig console.
3.4 - PushMig will now ask you what the most common installation path is for NVC5 on your client machines. This is not something that you have to know, but it might help if you can see whether or not most clients are installed to "C:Norman" or "C:Program FilesNorman".
3.5 - After pressing enter, you will be presented with a series of choices. Choose the appropriate choice depending on what your network layout is. If all the clients are in the same domain/workgroup as the NEM server, it would be easiest to select #3 – "Migrate all suitable workstations within the domain/workgroup". This option will find all the suitable NVC clients and attempt to migrate them to NPRO.
You will be notified with information about the migration status of each client found, from "not supported" to "Successfully migrated".
Note: Remember that only computers that are turned on and logged in will be migrated.
If there are machines in your network that are unavailable, for example turned off or not logged in, you can re-run PushMig to migrate them at a later time.
Note: Remember that the NVC clients will only be "converted" to NPRO after they have downloaded update and upgrade files from the NEM server. If you have a large network with many clients, it might take some time before all the clients have the necessary files.
The users will be asked to restart the computer to finish the migration.
It is also possible that you only want to upgrade some of your clients to NPRO while others are to still run NVC. This can be done by simply setting up a new NEM server instead of migrating the existing one, and then either migrating computers individually by individual IP addresses or by an IP address range.
(illustration of network setup – your network does not have to match)
(illustration of network setup – your network does not have to match)
If your network contains more than one NVC Distribution server, it is best to migrate each distribution server starting with the lowest ones. The process is the same as when migrating a an entire network with only one distribution server, but you should not choose option #3 – "Migrate all suitable workstations within the domain/workgroup" as this will setup all the clients in the network to get updates from a single NEM Distribution server.
The best choice when you want to migrate only clients under a NVC5 distribution server is to choose to migrate clients by IP addresses, one by one.
Or, if each NVC5 Distribution server is responsible for an IP range, migrate only that IP range when going through the migration process.

Sports scandal results in betting suspension for Round 1 Adelaide Crows and Essendon game
- From: adelaidenow
- February 07, 2013
BETTING agencies have begun suspending betting on markets involving the Round 1 Adelaide-Essendon game in the wake of the drug scandal surrounding the AFL side.
Tattsbet is not offering odds on the side's round 1 clash with the Crows, due to take place on March 22, as well as "futures" betting on all clubs' end-of-season table positions.
Betting on the 2013 premiership remains on the site.
Essendon is listed at $15, behind $4 favourites Hawthorn.
TAB Sportsbet has suspended betting on the round 1 fixture between Adelaide and Essendon but future betting is still being offered.
Centrebet also is not offering odds on the Adelaide v Essendon clash.
Anti-gambling campaigner Nick Xenophon has called for a temporary ban on all sports betting while investigations into drugs and match fixing continue and a permanent ban on "micro-betting".
"These findings are so serious that the only course of action is to suspend sports betting until measures to safeguard the integrity are put in place," he said.
Mr Xenophon said micro-betting, betting on events within matches - such as first goal scorers, should be banned permanently due to vulnerability to corruption.
"Micro-betting gives macro opportunities for corruption," he said.

Space StationSupernova
Space Station Supernova Next week, sky watchers in many US cities can see
the space station materialize like a supernova in the early morning
sky before sunrise.
Listen to this story via streaming audio, a downloadable file, or get help.
August 28, 2002: The International Space Station (ISS) had just swung around the night side of Earth when astronaut Peggy Whitson looked out the window. The planet below was dark, but Earth's limb was glowing. "It was a thin, bright band of light--at first a deep royal blue, followed by the addition of red and orange," she recalled. "The rays of light seemed to be wrapping their fingers around the planet."
Whitson narrowed her eyes when the Sun finally popped over the distant horizon. It was awfully bright. The station itself, moments earlier dark except for a few glowing windows, lit up from stem to stern reflecting the intense sunshine.
What a sunrise!
Right: Astronauts onboard the space shuttle Atlantis captured this picture of a sunrise from low-Earth orbit on May 29, 2000. [more]
The first week of Sept. is a good time to try. That's when the ISS will fly over several major US cities before dawn, and if you're outside at the right moment you can spot a "space station supernova." You'll have to wake up early, around 5 o'clock in the morning. At first the starry predawn sky will seem ordinary. The horizon will glow a bit (a hint of the rising Sun) and the yellow-planet Saturn might catch your eye halfway up the eastern sky. Then the space station will appear, gliding eastward into the sunlight high above Earth. It will surge in brightness until it rivals or outshines every other star in the sky.
The apparition might remind some onlookers of a Hollywood UFO--and indeed, it is a spaceship, but the explorers inside are human, not aliens. Onboard now are American Peggy Whitson and Russians Valery Korzun and Sergei Treschev. If one of them happens to be looking out the window when the space station materializes above you, you know what they'll be seeing: a gorgeous sunrise.
Above: Local times in September when the ISS will materialize over some US cities. The station will appear at the elevation and compass direction tabulated in the 4th column, then glide toward the northeast horizon. Click on the name of the constellation to see a sky map labeled with the station's path among the stars, courtesy of Heavens Above.
The table above lists ten US cities where the space station will appear in September. Even if your hometown is not included, you might still be able to see the ISS. Find out by visiting one of these three popular web sites: Chris Peat's Heavens Above, Science@NASA's J-Pass or NASA's SkyWatch. Each will ask for your zip code or city, and respond with a list of suggested spotting times and directions. Supernova-style apparitions are those that begin high in the sky, at least 45 degrees above the horizon, just before local dawn. Predictions computed a few days ahead of time are usually accurate within a few minutes. However, they can change due to the slow decay of the space station's orbit and periodic reboosts to higher altitude. Check frequently for updates.
Sky watchers who see the ISS for the first time often remark that the station seems slow--much slower than meteors they've seen. In fact, the station moves rapidly. It circles our planet 16 times per day traveling about 17,000 mph. But that is slow compared to a typical meteor, which travels 100,000 mph and streaks across the sky in seconds.
Right: It is possible to see the ISS through a telescope and record it. This movie was captured by amateur astronomer Ulrich Beinert. [more]
In this case, slow is good. Because the ISS takes minutes to glide from horizon to horizon, it is possible (with practice) to train a telescope on the station and track it. "I have viewed the ISS with an 8" telescope," says amateur astronomer Ulrich Beinert. "Even though it was hard to see details, the station's T-shape was clearly visible. The colors were so vivid; the body of the station glowed bright white, while the solar panels shone in an eerie copper light--amazing!"
You won't be able to pick out the station's tiny windows using an amateur telescope, but you can imagine what they frame: The face of an astronaut--Peggy Whitson, perhaps--staring outward. Colorful rays of light wrapping around the planet. The sudden surge of the rising Sun and then, on the Earth below, a "space station supernova." Set your alarm; it's worth waking up for....
Editor's note: Peggy Whitson is a member of the space station's Expedition Five crew. Her description of sunrise from Earth orbit is reproduced from one of a series of charming letters from space.more information

Track the ISS: Any of these web sites will tell you when and where to look for the space station:Heavens Above (external site); J-Pass; SkyWatch (NASA). Supernova-style apparitions are those that begin just before dawn high in the sky, at least 45 degrees above the horizon. Ordinary horizon-to-horizon passes are beautiful, too, but not the same.
What makes the ISS shine? There are no bright lights on the outside of the space station. The ISS shines by reflecting sunlight, as much as 90% of the light that hits it. Much of the ship is light-colored. Even the awesome solar arrays, which must absorb sunlight to power the station, aren't completely black. Their reflectivity is near 35%.
Right: The brightly-lit International Space Station in April 2002. [more]
More Spaceship Sightings -- (Science@NASA) The International Space Station is easy to see with the unaided eye. It looks even better through a telescope.
Watch Out for Spaceships -- (Science@NASA) If your neighbors hear you say this, they might laugh at you. But it's true: This is a good week to stand in your backyard and watch spaceships go by.

Hi gang,
Well I'm still hanging in there, it'll be 8weeks tomorrow and we're still having problems I'm totally at wits end now. I've been doing the tea, I've taken fenugreek, which I had to discontinue....it was giving the little guy diarhea...and I still have a hungry hungry fella after every nursing session any time after about 2 in the afternoon. Okay...he's nursing alot...my question is do you pump after EVERY nursing session? Is that what I should be doing to increase things. I feel like despite all of my research....I'm still missing that missing key or information that would solve all my problems. To top it off I've got PPD, and this breastfeeding problems thing just is NOT helping. I feel like if I just switch to bottles then I'd be happier, but on the other hand I'd feel too guilty...grrrr....what to do, what to do.
Any words of wisdom would be much appreciated!!

ATLANTIC BEACH, SC - A Gallivants Ferry woman faces an impersonating state or local official charge in connection with the Nov. 1, 2011 election in Atlantic Beach.
Laura Best, 66, was booked into jail Wednesday night.
Best once held the positions in the Horry County Republican Party and as a State GOP Executive Committeeman.
Atlantic Beach Police Chief Mike Bordner said the case had been under investigation for some time.
According to a police report, an officer responded to the Atlantic Beach polling place on Nov. 1.
The officer spoke with a witness who said Best claimed to be an agent with the S.C. Attorney General's office and was sent to observe the election.
This witness also told the officer that Best harassed poll watchers.
Another person at the polling place said that Best approached her saying that she was breaking the law by challenging votes.
Police asked for Best's ID and she only had a drivers license. Best then said that she was a volunteer floater for the Attorney General and in town to observe the election.
The officer contacted the AG's office and human resources was not aware of a floater and said that Best was not an employee of the office.
The results of the Nov. 1 election were later thrown out by Atlantic Beach's Municipal Election Commission.
Gov. Nikki Haley set a new date for the town to have an election on May 22, 2012.

Jennifer Lawrence, Anne Hathaway & More Stars Showed Off Their Awards (& Figures) At Vanity Fair Oscar Party
One of the most popular Academy Awards after parties is thrown by Vanity Fair, and tons of A listers attended the festive event on Sunday night.
Commonly, those who attend the biggest event in Hollywood change dresses for the after parties. "Best Actress" winner Jennifer Lawrence (above) left her Dior Haute Courture gown behind and opted for a slinkly metallic floor-length gown.
Anne Hathaway, who was criticized for her pink Prada dress that showed a bit of nipple, chose a pale blue shift dress with a gold sequined collar. The dress matched her Oscar!
Zoe Saldana was included on some worst dressed lists for her lavender Alex Mabille gown. For the Vanity Fair party she opted for a sexy black lace dress.
Plenty of stars who didn't attend the awards show mingled with the nominees and winners, including Natalie Portman and her husband, Selena Gomez and Vanessa Hudgens.
Check out a handful of photos from the party...

Watts Pick to Hit Pop Up Content
Diamonds in the Rough
Edwin Watts golf offers some superb products that you definitely don't want to overlook. If they didn't get there deserved share of media fanfare when first coming to the market, then now is your chance to prosper. They're great pieces of equipment that can really boost your game and lower your score. And regardless of if they've been out in the market for a while of brand new to it, our Watts Experts have tested them out in the field and found them to be more than worthwhile. So here are some Diamonds In The Rough that will keep you out of the rough. We've found these gems to be terrific values for your game. We highly suggest you give them strong consideration.
The new Big Bertha Alpha 816 Double Black Diamond Driver is built for the best players, the studs, the big bombers, the ones who stripe it off the tee like clockwork. They're already long and they'll get even longer with the new Dual Distance Chambers that give them exactly what they need to get every last yard out of their drives.
You can use the Gravity Core as a distance turbo charger for more ball speed, and it's easy to do. Just pick your Distance Chamber for a draw or neutral setting. Then flip the Gravity Core up or down depending on where your normal impact location is on the face. Set the gravity core up for impact locations above center, or down for impact locations at center or below. You do that, and you'll get the ball flight that you want to play, with maximized ball speed set to your impact location.
Throw in a faster, deeper face and our OptiFit adjustability and you can see why this club deserves to carry the Alpha name. It's the ultimate combination of distance and shot-shaping control for the highest caliber players.
Extreme Distance From Dual Distance Chambers If you're looking for a neutral or draw ball flight to work the ball with more control, pick the left or right chamber. Then set the Gravity Core up or down depending on where you hit the ball for maximum ball speed. It's a distance turbo charger to increase your ball speed and the ultimate combination of extreme distance and shot-shaping control for the best players.
Ball Speed From Next Gen R*MOTO Technology To get every last yard out of your driver, you need more speed. That's why we put in our next generation R*MOTO Technology. It provides the structure for a thinner face, leading to high ball speeds on center hits and off-center hits too.
A Deeper Face, Traditional Shape and a Low Center of Gravity The best players want a deeper face, a traditional shape and a low center of gravity to reduce spin with just the right amount of forgiveness and workability. And that's exactly what we're giving them with this driver. The shape of the crown, the open face angle, and the matte black finish with no distractions all suit better players' eyes when they're standing over the ball.
OptiFit Adjustability Tune the driver to the settings you want to play with our 8-way adjustability. You can add loft, take loft off or adjust the lie angle to fit your swing.

Designed around the needs of elite-level athletes, the Nike Zoom Victory XC is suitable for 3k-10k events.
For cross country racing, low weight, some cushioning, good traction and protection are essential for great performances. The Zoom Victory XC checks all these boxes and thus provides a fantastic footwear option for top level performers. The superlight Flywire upper provides a secure midfoot fit and the sculpted midsole provides cushioning and arch support. Perfect for the longer XC races. Includes twelve 5/16" spikes and a spike wrench.
Model Number:
Weight: 4.8 oz (size 9)
Sizing is based on the men's scale. Women should subtract 1 and a half sizes from their women's shoe size. Example: Women's 8.5 equals size 7.0 for this shoe.
How It Fits (based on width D) Width D=Medium
Product Lifecycle
Nike's Zoom Victory XC is a elite-level cross country spike designed for 3k to 10k events. This shoe has a curved shape.
Comments: Great spikes, very lightweight and fast. Feel very comfy on my feet, almost like I am wearing nothing at all. I had two races where it was pouring down rain and we had to run through long stretches of water and mud, and they have held up great. Drain well. Highly recommend.
From: Brett, Alabama, USA
Comments: Great pair of spikes. Lightweight and very useful for powering up steep hills
From: Jesse, Eau Claire, WI, USA
Comments: The Victory Zoom Spikes are perfect spikes for a XC race they fit well and have no issues what so ever. although they are light they have great stability and cushioning they also have a great heal toe design to help your form i recommend the Nike Victory Zoom XC spikes to anyone.
From: Mark, Janesville WI USA
Comments: Great idea, poor execution. These spikes are really light and feel like a second skin on your foot. Spike plates good, curve in the fore foot is good; everything else:bad. They have a weird "support" feature that puts pressure on the arch and actually makes it hurt. The lacing never seems to be right and they either seem too tight or like they're gonna fall off. In one race i got spiked on the ankle and since the back of the shoe wasn't tight enough(even though the front of the shoe was too tight) actually came down below my heel and I had to race in a backless spike. Not fun. Used them a couple times in track as well, they failed miserably. I wouldn't recommend these.
From: Joe, Hendersonville, TN,USA
Comments: Very light and very fast. However, the forefoot is narrow and is tearing because of my wide-ish feet. Also, there is a stiff plastic seam in the front of the shoe that makes sockless running quite painful. Used these for 1 season of track and 1 season of XC. Good shoe, but not worth 100+ dollars 3.5/5 stars (note: I did not purchase these from RW)
From: Anonymous
p>Comments: Wow!!! i just got back from a small recovery speed workout (weird i know.), but these worked AMAZING!! i have just been wearing the zoom victory track version, but theses are much better, by far! the curved forefoot gives forefoot striking a much much much easier more nautural feel. Again super lightweight and would probably work just as great for track season as well. but a tip is to wear thin or no socks other wise you will have a lot of difficulty getting them on. These are a must!
From: Daniel, Roseville, California, U.S.A
Comments: These worked well as a cross country and track spike, my only complaint though is the actual spike plate bent on me. Now the spikes come out on an angle and makes then foot strike seem off. Also they will get large holes in them but that should be expected when the material is as thin as it is.
From: Eric, Saint Cloud, FL, USA
Comments: Very lightweight and flexible, I originally liked them very much (I sized 1.5 down from my women's size to get them in men's) but during one xc run some brambles ripped the top mesh to shreds and the shoes are almost falling apart. I did not get cut at all, which is surprising to hear after you look at the shoes, which makes me very dubious of the lifespan of these flats.
From: Steph, Boston, MA, USA
Comments: Fantastic spike! Fits great, feels great, lightweight..everything you could want in a Cross Country spike. Also, ran in a very muddy and wet race last week, had to run through some puddles, and these spikes drained very very well!
From: Alex, Poplar Grove, IL, USA
Comments: Lots of PRs in these babies! I didn't have any opinion on my spikes until I used these. Now I think I'm in love...
From: Daniel, Columbia, MD, USA
Comments: These spikes are really light but as an obvious downside, they have very minimal cushioning. I've only used them on a pavement course (your feet will hurt quite a bit afterwards), but on an all grass course they should be amazing.
From: Devin, Pearl River, NY, USA
Comments: Watch out, one of the holes to put spikes into did not have threads so I couldnt put in a spike. Basically it was defective. I have also heard problems about spikes bending after one race. Plus, wear socks or your heels will bleed and your feet will get torn up
From: Drew, Providence, RI, USA
Comments: By far the Victory XC is the best publicly available cross country spike. It is extremely lightweight and flexible and probably the most responsive shoe I have worn. The fit is much better than the Victory track spikes and they are much more durable. They work very well on a variety of surfaces; especially grass. Overall an excellent XC spike!
From: Peter, Conway, NH, USA

Professor Alexis Jay during a press conference at the New York Stadium, Rotherham, England, Tuesday, following the publication of a report she wrote which found around 1,400 children were sexually exploited in the town over a 16-year period.
ROTHERHAM, England Rotherham is a working-class town that is remarkable in its ordinariness a collection of charmless discount stores, betting shops and kebab counters, surrounded by sleepy residential streets lined with brick houses that have seen better days.
But below the drab surface, shock was evident Wednesday as the people of this northern English town learned that for 16 years, girls as young as 11 in their community had been subjected to sexual exploitation on a vast scale.
The number of victims 1,400 was terrifying enough for a community of just 250,000. But that wasnt all: despite repeated warnings over the years, only a handful of men have ever been convicted and an independent report found that local leaders had dismissed reports of child rape, exploitation and violence for years. Part of the reason, they said, was that they feared they would be branded as racist for pursuing the perpetrators the majority of whom were men of Pakistani origin.
Yet, many say its time for police and social workers to come up with a better response than to blame prickly race issues. Muhbeen Hussain, who founded the British Muslim Youth group, said the Pakistani community also needs to step up and face the problem.
We need to acknowledge there was a large number of Pakistani men said to be involved. As a Pakistani Muslim I dont find anything within our religion to condone this, the 20-year-old said. We need to reopen every case since the 1990s and investigate them. If it were any other type of crime the police would have acted.
Hussain argues the reason the problem has gone on for so long isnt about race, despite the authorities tiptoeing around the issue. What it is about, he argues, is a lack of accountability.
Saying its about race is just an excuse for the failure of the local council. Are they not going to arrest a drug dealer because the Muslims may be upset? Its ludicrous.
Its not the first time revelations of such horrific abuse have surfaced in Britain, but the report on Rotherham is unique in the sheer number of cases it unearthed, all within a single town. It stirred uncomfortable questions about the extent of hidden child sex crimes in poorer, job-deprived areas of the country, and the failure of British authorities in handling the problem.
Many of the girls were lured at the school gates by older, unrelated men who gained their favor by plying them with gifts and drugs. Some were trafficked to other towns for sex with multiple men, the report said.
Most of the victims in the older cases were described as white British children, but the report said that more recently a greater number of cases were coming from the growing Pakistani, Kashmiri and Roma communities.
Britain prides itself on being a tolerant and integrated society a mosaic of cultures and religions that generally sit side by side in apparent harmony. But the report, along with several prosecutions in other towns that also involve Pakistani gangs preying on young girls, have stripped away the veneer and exposed tensions festering beneath the surface.
Like many British towns, Rotherham has a diverse ethnic mix that sees white British people living alongside Pakistanis, Indians and newly arrived Polish residents. Far-right politicians have exploited the anti-immigrant worries of people in this island nation and Northern Englands tough economic times have fueled fears that the newcomers are taking away jobs and opportunities.MORE IN Wire NewsUNIVERSAL CITY, Calif.

text: I have been bf for 6m now and have rented the hospital grade pump but at $80 a month it is such a waste of money, however I will never bf again as I can have no more children and worried about spending to much for a short time and what do you do with a pump afterwards? Throw it in the trash? What a waste. So I am trying to decide to I buy a pump for $2-300 or continue to rent one for $400? I would like an electric pump that was much cheaper since it is a short time and even a good used one but hear that is not suggested either. I would appreciate your comments. Thx

Is it unethical for a public servant who directs a large government institution to fly first class if he can produce a doctor's note? That is one of the questions fueling the current scuffle between Iowa Republican Chuck Grassley and Smithsonian secretary G. Wayne Clough. Earlier this week, Grassley demanded a review of Clough's complete travel documents after an online report revealed the Smithsonian chief had taken 59 trips in the period between when he took office in July 2008 and July 2011, including visits to resort destinations in Colorado and Florida. At a time when wasteful government spending has become a hot topic, even the appearance of excess can destroy a public figure's reputation. But is G. Wayne Clough really guilty of irresponsible spending, or just the victim of a grand-standing politician?
The Smithsonian has been in hot water for its leader's traveling habits before. In 2007, former secretary Lawrence M. Small resigned after a Washington Post report revealed he was using federal money to finance cushy travel as well as renovations of his office and home. By contrast, Clough's $120,000 travel fees were not paid for out of federal funds, according to Junketsleuth, the Web site that first reported on the Smithsonian head's travel.
Why might Grassley have a problem with Clough's travel if it wasn't paid for with government money? For one thing, he says that he isn't entirely sure that's true. "There's uncertainty based on the news reporting so far on who funded the travel and the purpose and accomplishments of the travel," a Grassley spokeswoman told ARTINFO. "[Senator Grassley] wants to be sure the Smithsonian board of regents is vetting and signing off on the travel." Furthermore, "the time away from the Smithsonian might be a concern, depending on what's accomplished during the trips and whether decisions requiring leadership suffered in the absence."
After the debacle with former secretary Small, the Smithsonian revised its travel guidelines for employees. Special requests (such as bringing along a spouse, which Clough did on at least 10 trips, according to Junketsleuth) must be approved by the general counsel, and all travel by senior Smithsonian executives is audited quarterly by its comptroller and board of regents. But Grassley, who played a central role in bringing down Clough's predecessor (and who maintains a special section on his Web site for whistleblowers), seeks to confirm the proper reviews are actually being conducted. "It seems like the Smithsonian may not have learned from previous mistakes," he told the Washington Post. His spokeswoman added that "the Smithsonian has been quoted as disputing elements of the junketsleuth piece, including who funded the travel. Sen. Grassley wants to hear directly from the Smithsonian so there will be no uncertainty and no confusion....He wants to make sure the board of regents is doing its job to vet travel and other matters that were the source of serious problems under the prior secretary."
In order to understand the positions of both Grassley and the Smithsonian, one must understand the unique nature of the institution's funding. The Smithsonian receives 70 percent of its budget from federal funds; the rest comes from private donations or museum revenue. A representative from the Smithsonian told ARTINFO that neither Clough's salary nor his travel funds come from the federal portion of its budget.
Fifty-four of Clough's trips last year, she said, were paid out of the non-federal portion of its budget, while five of the trips were financed by external organizations entirely independent of the Smithsonian. Senator Grassley's office expressed concern that some of the organizations — George Washington University, Williams College, Midwest Research Institute, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, and American Academy of Arts and Sciences — might receive federal funding themselves, which means that taxpayers would have, in fact, been financing some portion of Clough's trips that might have involved the use of charter flights and private car services. But a Smithsonian representative told ARTINFO that the federal travel regulation to which the institution conforms "does not require an examination of the financial backgrounds of sponsors to determine if they receive federal funds."
Drawing a distinction between private and public funds and how they are spent is a tactic to insulate institutions from these kinds of questions, noted Steven Dubin, a professor of arts administration at Columbia University. However, when politics gets involved, such bureaucratic explanations are often futile. He recalled that "Hide and Seek," the controversial exhibition from which David Wojnarowicz video "A Fire in My Belly" was ultimately censored when it appeared at the Smithsonian's National Portrait Gallery in 2010, was also funded by entirely private funds "precisely so that there wouldn't be the concern that there was federal money paying for it. And we all saw that happened there."
And indeed, Grassley's office noted that parsing where funds come from isn't as important to the senator as how they are being used: "All money that the Smithsonian generates, regardless of its source, is supposed to fulfill the Smithsonian's mission," the senator's representative said.
Some aren't entirely convinced the investigation is worthwhile, however. "It seems to me like these are legitimate expenditures," responded Dubin. "Frankly, it sounds like nitpicking to me."

Goliad County Judge David Bowman, Precinct 3 Commissioner Ronald Bailey and Precinct 4 Commissioner Ted Long voted to terminate the interlocal agreement effective Sept. 30. Precinct 1 Commissioner Julian Flores and Precinct 2 Commissioner Alonzo Morales voted to renew the contract.
Goliad ISD school board member Robert De La Garza said Friday that he suspects race and politics had something to do with the decision.
The current SRO, Paul San Miguel, an Hispanic, ran against Goliad County Sheriff Kirby Brumby in the November elections.
"Paul is a well-qualified officer," said Robert De La Garza, who had San Miguel as a deputy when he served as sheriff. "When you put everything on the table, the only thing that is left is discrimination. It's bad and shouldn't be that way. That's what is dividing our community. We should all be on the same team. We should all be for one thing and that is to protect our children."
Bowman said race had nothing to do with the commissioners court's decision.
"That's completely unfounded in my opinion," Bowman said. "There are a few folks, and that school board member is one of them, who want to make it a racial issue."
Robert De La Garza has filed a lawsuit against Brumby from when he applied for the Goliad ISD school resource officer position in 209 and was not hired.
Robert De La Garza's brother, Precinct 1 Constable Michael De La Garza, addressed the commissioners court before its decision at the May 28 meeting and implied racial discrimination was behind the county's attempt to discontinue the contract.
"Is it because of liability issues? No," Michael De La Garza said. "Is it because there's a conflict in county and school schedules? No. Is it because of my inability to supervise Paul? No. Is it because of how the money is transferred from the school district to the county? No. Is it because Paul is not performing his duties as an SRO at the school district? No. Is it because of cost? No.
"So why would the court consider terminating this agreement if it's not costing the county a dime and it's what the school district wants? Well, it only leaves one reason on the table and if you can't see it, then I can't help you."
In his complaint to the State Commission on Judicial Conduct in the state attorney general's office, Michael De La Garza claimed Bowman met with Goliad ISD school officials to influence them to not hire San Miguel as the SRO.
"As a member of this community, I find the judge's actions regarding this matter appalling and I feel it is my duty as constable of Precinct 1 to hold Judge Bowman accountable for his actions thus far."
San Miguel was commissioned by Constable De La Garza in February.
"The judge overstepped his boundary when he went in there and tried to interfere with the process that the constable was approved to do," Robert De La Garza said. "The process has started to investigate this. People need to know what's going on. People are wondering why this is going back and forth. It's senseless."
Bowman wouldn't comment on the complaint filed with the state attorney general's office.
"I don't think that would be productive at this time," Bowman said.
Bowman and Bailey, along with Flores and Morales, had voted for the original interlocal agreement in February. But Bowman and Bailey reversed their decisions to renew the current contract after they said they weren't given ample time to study the original contract.
Bowman drafted a new contract, which was approved by the commissioners, and presented it to the Goliad ISD board of trustees on May 2.
The county commissioners opted not to update the current contract, but recommended revising a 2007-09 interlocal SRO agreement between the county and Goliad ISD. The revised contract would give the Goliad County Sheriff's Office more jurisdiction over the position.
Goliad ISD school board members expressed their dissatisfaction with the proposed contract at the May 2 special meeting.
Goliad ISD Superintendent Christy Paulsgrove was surprised by the county commissioners' decision.
"I didn't know they were going to move on this that quickly," Paulsgrove said Friday. "Judge Bowman's comment was that we could take our time and look at it until September. I kind of thought the new superintendent should have some input. We haven't had a board meeting since then or a chance to discuss it further."
Paulsgrove is retiring after this school year and Goliad High School Principal Emilio Vargas was named the lone finalist to replace her at a special meeting on May 27. Vargas won't assume the post until June 20.
Paulsgrove said she will seek direction from school board president Bob Gayle to see what Goliad ISD will do next.
Bowman said the school district will still have plenty of time to review the revised contract and an agreement could be reached before the 2013-14 school year.
"It was not a quick decision," Bowman said. "It gives the school district the end of September. I just want to give them ample notice that the prior agreement was going to terminate at the end of September. We have offered them another agreement that places the SRO under the supervision of the sheriff's department. I didn't want to wait until the last minute.
"They don't have to make a decision on anything right now," Bowman said. "If they think they do, they're under the wrong impression."
"We're going to do something," Robert De La Garza said. "We're not going to sit here and let the school district go unprotected, whether it's to create our own police department or go out to another county. That would be an additional burden for our taxpayers."
Morales and Flores have been in favor of the interlocal agreement since it was first approved.
"This thing should have been over with a long time ago," Morales said. "I just wish we could work together."
Flores refused to comment when contacted by the Advance-Guard.
"We were all disappointed," Robert De La Garza said. "The judge told us we had time to look at that second interlocal agreement. We haven't even had an actual meeting to discuss that and he's already pulling the plug.
"Our goal is to protect the children and the staff. We have a county government that can't even cooperate with a school district that is willing to pay for the whole thing."

WILDE: Packers-Browns: 5 things to watch
The teams: The Green Bay Packers (3-2) vs. the Cleveland Browns (3-3).
The time: 3:25 p.m. CDT Sunday.
The place: Lambeau Field, Green Bay.
The TV coverage: CBS – WDJT (Ch. 58 in Milwaukee), WISC (Ch. 3 in Madison) and WFRV (Ch. 5 in Green Bay).
The announcers: Kevin Harlan and Solomon Wilcots.
The coaches: Green Bay's Mike McCarthy is 83-44 (including 6-4 in the postseason) in his eighth season as the Packers' coach and as an NFL head coach. Cleveland's Rob Chudzinski is 3-3 in his first year as coach of the Browns and as an NFL head coach.
The series: The Packers lead the all-time regular-season series, 10-7, including the last meeting, a 31-3 victory at Cleveland Browns Stadium on Oct. 25, 2009. The Browns won the last meeting in Green Bay, 26-24, on Sept. 18, 2005.
The rankings: The Packers' second-ranked offense is No. 5 in rushing and No. 4 in passing. Their 18th-ranked defense is No. 3 against the run and No. 28 against the pass. The Browns' 24th-ranked offense is No. 22 in rushing and No. 17 in passing. Their seventh-ranked defense is tied for No. 7 against the run and is No. 8 against the pass.
The line: The Packers are favored by 10 points.
The injury report: Packers – Out: OLB Clay Matthews (thumb), OLB Nick Perry (foot), TE Ryan Taylor (knee), RB James Starks (knee), ILB Brad Jones (hamstring). Questionable: DE/OLB Mike Neal (shoulder), WR James Jones (knee), CB Casey Hayward (hamstring), CB Jarrett Bush (hamstring).
Browns – Out: DL Billy Winn (quadriceps). Questionable: LB Brandon Magee (oblique). Probable: LB Jabaal Sheard (knee), DB Chris Owens (finger), RB Willis McGahee (knee). Note: S Josh Aubrey (ankle/knee) was placed on injured reserve and RB Bobby Rainey (groin) was waived.
Last man standing: With Randall Cobb out for at least the next eight games, James Jones unlikely to play and such luminaries as Myles White, Jake Stoneburner and perhaps waiver-claim Chris Harper as possible targets for Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, it would stand to reason that the Browns would direct much of their defensive focus toward wide receiver Jordy Nelson, who enters the game with 27 receptions for a team-high 484 yards and team-best four touchdowns.
But that's not what Nelson is expecting. Rather than constant double-teaming, Nelson figures he'll see Browns top cornerback Joe Haden on a down-in, down-out basis, sometimes with help over the top, and sometimes simply one-on-one.
"I don't. I honestly don't," Nelson replied Friday when asked if he thinks he'll be double-covered all afternoon. "Watching the film the way they play, they mix up their coverage, but they believe in Joe Haden and the type of DB he is, and I can see why. They'll mix up their coverage, they play a little bit of everything, but I don't think it'll be severe double teams at all."
And so he expects lots of matchups with Haden?
"I'll be shocked if he's not (on me), just based off film study and what they've done in other games, especially with Randall and James being down," Nelson said.
Nelson said he had Haden on him in preseason in 2011 and 2012, when he caught a total of two passes for 26 yards in two exhibition games. Asked how much he remembers about how Haden plays, Nelson replied, "A lot, to be honest with you. It's great to have those games and a feel for the way he played. It's preseason, and he might play differently, but it's just great to have that knowledge. You can see it and you can remember what he did against you and how it felt and then watch film and kind of confirm that, like, 'OK, that's what he's still doing or that's what he does do.' It's just great to have that knowledge, and hopefully we can put it to use."
No overconfidence: The Browns seemingly were getting their offensive act together after starter Brandon Weeden was replaced – in part due to Weeden's thumb injury, in part due to his ineffective play – by third-stringer Brian Hoyer, who gave the offense a jolt. Alas, Hoyer is done for the year after tearing the anterior cruciate ligament in his knee, so the Browns have to go back to Weeden, who is – get this – older than Rodgers (he turned 30 this week) and is presumably on his way out since it was ex-president Mike Holmgren's front-office group that decided to invest the No. 22 overall pick in him, even though Chudzinski did his best to sell the idea that the Browns are confident in him.
"I think you look at last week, I think that he played very well in the first half. He did some really good things," Chudzinski said in his conference call with Wisconsin reporters about Weeden, who finished last Sunday's 31-17 loss to Detroit having completed 26 of 43 passes for 292 with two sacks, two touchdowns and two interceptions (76.9 rating). "I think he's improved overall. Looking back at last season, he's come a long ways. He made some decisions last week that I know he would want back. It's about consistency. He's working at it, he's doing all the things that you ask him to do and we're going to do everything that we can to give him the best opportunity to succeed."
The one player more than any other that gives Weeden that opportunity is tight end Jordan Cameron, who enters the game with 38 receptions for 460 yards (12.1-yard average) and five TDs. A basketball player-turned-football player, Cameron is delivering on the potential the Browns saw on him coming out of USC in 2011, when they drafted him in the fourth round.
"This tight end, this Cameron, he's the real deal – 38 receptions, five touchdowns," Packers defensive coordinator Dom Capers said. "He's a real matchup threat inside."
He could have a field day against the Packers' depleted linebacking corps, and Capers admitted he may have to dial back some of his play-calling because of the injury problems his unit is experiencing.
"You've got to be careful. You've got to make sure that you're not overloading some of those guys because we've got some new guys out there," Capers said. "You've got to be smart and figure out how much they can do and do efficiently and not ask them to do too much where you slow them down. I think the best thing we've done the last two, three weeks is we've played fast. I think we've swarmed to the ball, had multiple hits, and we've got to keep that going."
Cornering the market: It may not be an issue this week because Hayward is listed as questionable and appears to be another week away from actually playing – he may be active simply because the Packers are going to have a hard time coming up with 46 healthy bodies to fill out the game-day active roster – but the Packers appear to have an embarrassment of riches in their cornerback corps right now.
Last week against Baltimore, Davon House began the game as the No. 3 cornerback in the nickel – when House came in, Sam Shields took the other perimeter receiver while Tramon Williams moved inside to the slot – and House broke up three first-half passes. But because he was also pulling special-teams duty, the coaches decided to give him a breather and put in rookie Micah Hyde, who worked in the slot while Shields and Williams stayed outside. Hyde wound up playing a key role in the defense's goal-line stand and also had one of the Packers' five sacks in the game, forcing a fumble on the play.
"His physicality is something that's been consistent. If you saw the goal line plays, he showed great physicality there, on the sack causing the fumble," cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt said. "The thing that we just have to clean up with him is we can't mental errors that he's made in the past.
"He's working on it. He's a really bright young man. That's the thing. I brought him in my office this week and we have to get on the same page. I can understand if he wasn't – he is a very, very, very bright man. We just have to clean those mistakes up and then his game will take care of itself."
Once Hayward is 100 percent healthy, the Packers will have five cornerbacks for, at most, four spots. That may prompt the coaches to use another cornerback instead of safety Jerron McMillian – especially after how poorly the second-year safety played last week against the Ravens – in their dime package.
For now, though, it will be interesting to see if Hyde or House gets the nod as the No. 3 cornerback in the nickel Sunday, or if they platoon.
"I thought Davon, he covered really well. He didn't give up any completions. He's being aggressive. He's being handsy. He's getting his hands on people," Whitt said. "With his special teams duty, he just has to make sure that he can physically go the plays we ask him to go. But his coverage game on defense is increasing and hopefully it keeps going. He's getting that attitude and that nasty that I want and we need. We have another opportunity to go out here and get better this week.
"(But) I don't think the decisions are all that tough. We're going to go out there with the guys that we feel as a coaching staff are going to give us the best chance to win and everybody understands that. This is not a popularity contest or anything like that – we're trying to win football games and we're trying to play a high level of defense. The guys who give us the best opportunity to do that will be the guys who run out there and everybody will be supportive of those guys."
Setting an example: Packers rookie left tackle David Bakhtiari is usually too busy watching his upcoming opponent on film to worry about the guy from the other team who's blocking that guy on tape, but when that other guy is Browns left tackle Joe Thomas, the former University of Wisconsin star who's now in his seventh NFL season – and figures to go to his seventh straight Pro Bowl when the season's over.
"When I'm watching film and scouting the other team, I generally don't it with a lot of tackles, but Joe a little more than others. He's got such good form," Bakhtiari said. "You definitely notice that and watch that. Everyone, when they think of the prototypical left tackle, Joe Thomas is the guy. When you want to compare the best of the best, he's awesome. He makes things look so slow and easy.
"Technique stuff, there's certain things he can do that a lot of guys can't – how he makes it look so slow and easy, that's one thing that I can't do. The way I play, there's just some things he can do that I never will. But he's got great form, great set, he's a hell of a player."
If only he had a chance to play on a hell of a team. Since taking Thomas, a native of the Milwaukee suburb of Brookfield, with the No. 3 overall pick in the 2007 NFL Draft, the Browns have had exactly one winning season – a 10-6 finish his rookie year. Since then, they've gone 4-12, 5-11, 5-11, 4-12 and 5-11. They're a combined 36-66 since Thomas joined the team, and they've had four head coaches in those seven seasons.
"Obviously, we're 3-3 this year. With a .500 record right here, this is not something that myself as a Brown has been involved with too often. It's fun being relevant," Thomas said in a conference call with Wisconsin reporters this week. "The season is still extremely young and we've got a lot of games to go, but it's fun to be part of a team that's relevant, that's keeping every game close and is in everything right to the end.
"I think we've put together some great pieces this offseason. I think, obviously, the new coaches that they've brought in are outstanding. We've got new ownership, we've got a new front office, brought in some key free agents, we're building (with) some studs in the draft. I think we're building all the pieces we need right now. Certainly, the fans are excited out here right now. Coach Chudzinski, the players really love playing for him. I think he's brought in an outstanding job, starting with the offensive and defensive coordinators, who are very well known and respected throughout the NFL. There's a lot of excitement around the things that Coach Chud is doing. When you put a few wins on the field, that just reinforces it."
As good as Thomas is, he isn't complaining that Matthews, the Packers' four-time Pro Bowl outside linebacker, is out with a broken thumb.
"He's obviously a fantastic, All-Pro, NFL MVP type of guy. It's a loss for Green Bay's defense," Thomas said. "(But) the guys that they've got in there to replace him are doing a pretty damned good job, too. It's not going to be an easy week, that's for sure."
Pleased to meet you: Given the way Rodgers puts every teammates' birthday into his iPhone so he can wish them well on their big day, the quarterback will certainly know everyone's name when they're in the huddle. (There are some quarterbacks who might not know who Stoneburner or White is, despite their presence on the practice squad all season.) But that doesn't mean having two rookies making their NFL debuts and being pressed into service because of injuries won't create some issues.
Nevertheless, Rodgers insisted during the week that he won't shy away from throwing the ball to Stoneburner, White or wide receiver Jarrett Boykin, who went from little-used No. 4 receiver to No. 2 receiver after Cobb and Jones were hurt and promptly dropped two passes and wasn't on the same page with Rodgers on two others. Will he have to fight the urge to go to Nelson or tight end Jermichael Finley, whom he knows better?
"Not when you're an old, grizzled vet like myself," Rodgers said with a chuckle. "I've played a lot of football. Each play has a particular read or a side of the field you start with. I like to go through my progressions and throw to the open guy. Now, there may be a case where a certain player might be more open than other guys, I might give him an early look. But I like to throw it to open guys and to guys wearing our colors."
Rodgers also wasn't buying the idea that the Packers will morph into a run-run-run team – despite the evolution and early-season success of the ground game and back-to-back strong performances from rookie back Eddie Lacy – because of the absence of Cobb and, most likely, Jones.
"We still like to throw the football around here. Injuries to guys running routes is never a good thing, but I think that it gives guys opportunities," Rodgers said. "Jarrett Boykin is going to get an opportunity. Myles is going to get an opportunity. Jake is going to get an opportunity. Those guys have the opportunity to show the fans and the Cleveland Browns and this organization what they're capable of doing. And I'm excited to watch them play."
For his part, Rodgers did acknowledge one thing he'll have to be smart about: Being patient. He's utilized the run game in recent weeks and had some quick-strike big plays – an 83-yard touchdown to Jones against Detroit two weeks ago, a 64-yard TD to Nelson last week – but it's not always easy to take checkdowns and bide your time when you want to score quickly.
"It's just fighting the urge to press the issue. I think you learn as you play in this game, especially the last couple weeks, you have to be patient," Rodgers said. "I think you're always learning as a quarterback. If the last couple weeks have taught me anything, it's just a reminder to let the game come to you. Big plays are going to be there if you be patient. We were able to make some big plays in the passing game the last couple weeks in the late-third and fourth quarters, and when we had to have some drives (last) Sunday, we made those plays.
"You just have to fight the urge to force the football into people and live to fight another day. The way our defense is playing right now, it's going to be potentially a different type of game. It may not be the prettiest sight, but we just care about winning."
It's hard not to love Mike McCarthy's Keep Calm and Carry On motivational ploy this week. Given the concentration of injuries both on offense (wide receiver) and defense (linebacker), it would have been easy for the Packers to wonder if their seemingly endless injury problems may finally prove to be too much. Not that an old pre-World War II poster will mean much once the ball is kicked off, but the message was worthwhile: We've handled this sort of thing before, we can do it again. While this might have had all the trappings of a so-called "trap" game given how bad the Browns offense appears to be now that they're back to starting Weeden, the injuries should take care of any looking-past-'em-it is. While they may have trouble putting up big points without two of their top three receivers, the Packers should extend their nine-game home winning streak to 10 and win their 23rd regular-season game in their last 24 tries at Lambeau. Packers 23, Browns 13. (Season record: 5-0)
