Chateau 4 Paws' dog-loving aestheticians will pamper your prized pooch with friendly grooming services that clean, buff, and polish your four-legged companion in upscale yet comfy confines. Soothe your mutt's mug with the blueberry facial, which imparts a softening, fruit-filled sheen to a scruffy and vexed visage. Each dog will be doused and lathered in all-natural doggie shampoo, ridding his or her coat of dirt, grime, and couch-cushion tumbleweeds before drying the fur jacket with a calming blowout, readying the pup for the all-important prom pictures that are coming up. The nail polish smooths rough claws and ensures your hirsute best friend will have the most confidently manicured strut on the block.
"Feed, wash, and treat your pet the natural way." This is the tagline of Intown Healthy Hound & City-Kitty, a new full-service pet supply store and grooming parlor with an eco-friendly bent. Pets can soak in hypo-allergenic baths and feast on organic biscuits at a shop where all-natural shampoos and treats are the norm rather than the exception. Pets and their parents can also take advantage of local resources supported by Intown Healthy Hound and City-Kitty such as doggie day cares, mobile vets, and fire hydrant sensitivity trainings.
With 3,000 square feet of indoor, paw-friendly play space, your poochosaurus will be able to run in circles and bark at the invisible aliens free of guilt or any sense of propriety (daycare starts at $25 a day). Dogs are segregated by size, so two-pound pups won't be able to pick on the bigger dogs. When night falls, fidos enjoy blissful dreams of fat, slow rabbits while snuggling into plush blankets and the camaraderie of the pack (boarding costs $40 per night). Dogs never spend the night or day in a caged or enclosed space, sleeping in the same open area in which they play. Let the experts give your pup a bath ($20–$45 depending on size and hair length), and cross the Rubicon into pet obsession by springing for paw polish ($7). Though the hotel is manned 24/7 by chronic belly rubbers, you can always check in on your four-legged life partner via webcam.

I have often dreamed of a Caribbean idyll where I could take a few steps from my private bungalow overlooking the intoxicating sea and immediately dive into aquarium-like conditions replete with all manner of fish life. This vision finally manifested with a stay at the Rockhouse Hotel on the cliffs of Negril in Jamaica. The dramatic cliffs pockmarked with caves and fissures teaming with silversides and kissed by tropical light were as close to living my dream as I've yet found.

COUNTRY DESCRIPTION: Bolivia is a constitutional democracy and one of the least-developed countries in South America. Tourist facilities are generally adequate, but vary greatly in quality. La Paz is the administrative capital of Bolivia, while Sucreis the constitutional capital and the seat of the Supreme Court. La Paz is accessible via the international airport in El Alto. Read more about U.S. relations with Bolivia.
SMART TRAVELER ENROLLMENT PROGRAM (STEP) / EMBASSY LOCATION: If you are going to live in or visit Bolivia, please take the time to tell our Embassy about your trip. If you enroll, we can keep you up-to-date with important safety and security announcements. It will also help your friends and family get in touch with you in an emergency. Here's the link to the Smart Traveler Enrollment Program.
Local embassy information is available below and at the Department of State's list of embassies and consulates.
U.S. Embassy La Paz
Avenida Arce 2780, La Paz, Bolivia
Telephone: 591-2-216-8246
After Hours Emergency Number:591-216-8000
Facsimile: 591-2-216-8808
There are two Consular Agencies in Bolivia which provide limited services to U.S. citizens, including accepting passport applications which are then processed in La Paz. To request routine services at one of the Consular Agencies, please schedule an appointment through the Embassy's web page.
U.S. Consular Agency Santa Cruz
Avenida Roque Aguilera #146 (3er Anillo), Santa Cruz, Bolivia
Telephone: 591-3-351-3477 / 351-3479
Facsimile: 591-3-351-3478
U.S. Consular Agency Cochabamba
Edificio "SAAL", Avenida Pando No. 1122, Piso 1, Suites B and C, Cochabamba, Bolivia
Telephone: 591-4-411-6313
Facsimile: 591-4- 448-9119
ENTRY / EXIT REQUIREMENTS FOR U.S. CITIZENS: To enter and depart Bolivia, you are required to have a U.S. passport valid for at least six months from the date of your proposed entry into Bolivia.
U.S. citizens visiting Bolivia as tourists must obtain an entry visa. You can apply for a Bolivian tourist visa at Bolivian ports of entry, such as at Bolivia's international airports and at land border crossings, as well as by mail or in person at Bolivian consulates in the United States. You should allow plenty of time for processing if you plan to apply at a Bolivian consulate. Bolivian tourist visas are valid for five years from the date of issuance and allow the bearer to enter the country three times in a year for a cumulative stay of not more than ninety days. The tourist visa currently costs $135.00. USD You can pay the fee in cash, by deposit to the Bolivian consulate's bank account or by money order. If you choose to apply for your visa upon your arrival to Bolivia, you must pay the $135.00 in cash to immigration authorities.
In addition to the $135.00 visa fee, you must present a visa application form with a 4cm x 4cm color photograph, a passport with a validity of not less than 6 months, evidence of a hotel reservation or a letter of invitation in Spanish, proof of economic solvency (credit card, cash, or a current bank statement), and an International Vaccination Certificate for yellow fever.
Arrival by Land: Some tourists arriving by land report that immigration officials did not place entry stamps in their passports, which causes problems at checkpoints and upon departure. Make sure you get entry and exit stamps from the Bolivian authorities every time you enter or leave Bolivia.
Lost/Stolen Passports: If your U.S. passport is lost or stolen while you're in Bolivia, you must obtain a replacement passport and present it, together with reports of the loss or theft from the Tourist Police and/or Interpol, to a Bolivian government immigration office in order to obtain a replacement visa at a cost of $80.00. For more information on replacement passport procedures, please consult the U.S. Embassy's web site.
Exit Tax: The Bolivian government charges an exit tax for air departures from the country. If you have Bolivian citizenship or residency, the Bolivian government requires an additional fee upon departure. While the Bolivian government does not currently require travelers to purchase round-trip air tickets in order to enter the country, some airlines have required travelers to purchase round-trip tickets prior to boarding aircraft bound for Bolivia.
Additional Requirements for Minors: In an effort to prevent international child abduction, the Bolivian government has initiated procedures at entry/exit points. Minors (under 18) who are citizens or residents of Bolivia and who are traveling alone, with one parent, or with a third party must obtain a travel permit from the Juzgado del Menor. In order to obtain this permit, the parent or guardian must present a copy of the minor's birth certificate, parents' identification, and written authorization from the absent parent(s) or legal guardian, specifically granting permission to travel alone, with one parent, or with a third party. When a parent is deceased, Bolivian authorities require a notarized copy of the death certificate in lieu of the written authorization. If the documents are prepared in the United States, you must have them translated into Spanish, notarized, and authenticated by the Bolivian Embassy or a Bolivian consulate within the United States. If documents are prepared in Bolivia, only notarization by a Bolivian notary is required. This requirement does not apply to children who enter the country with a U.S. passport as tourists, unless they hold dual U.S./Bolivian citizenship or have been in Bolivia for less than 90 consecutive days.
Upon departure, U.S./Bolivian citizen minors traveling alone, with one parent, or with a third party, who have been in Bolivia for ninety (90) days or longer, will be required to present a travel authorization issued by the Juzgado del Menor, a copy of the minor's birth certificate and a copy of parents' identifications to immigration at the airport or land border. These travel authorizations are only valid for 90 days after they are issued and notarized, and a minor may not be allowed to leave the country if their authorization has expired.The new visa requirement states that unaccompanied minors to Bolivia must present an official Parental Authorization and Consent Certificate duly provided by the appropriate authorities. Until the Bolivian government provides further specifics on this document, the Embassy recommends that all unaccompanied minors to Bolivia carry a letter of permission from their parents or legal guardians authorizing travel.
Extended Stays: For more information on in-country visa procedures and requirements, please consult the Bolivian Immigration Service at Avenida Camacho between Calle Loayza and Calle Bueno, La Paz, Bolivia; fax/telephone (591-2) 211-0960. Note: If you submit your U.S. passport to Bolivian authorities for visa purposes, you may be able to retrieve it in an emergency. However, under current regulations, you would then need to submit and pay for a new application.
Please visit the Embassy of Bolivia web site for the most current visa information. Bolivian consulates in the United States are located in San Juan, Los Angeles, Miami, Minneapolis, New York City, and Washington, D.C.
There are limited flights within Bolivia and to neighboring countries. Flight delays and cancellations are common. You should keep this information in mind when making your travel plans.
The U.S. Department of State is unaware of any HIV/AIDS entry restrictions for visitors to, or foreign residents of, Bolivia.
Information about dual nationality or the prevention of international child abduction can be found on our website. For further information about customs regulations, please read our Customs Information page.
THREATS TO SAFETY AND SECURITY: Protests, strikes, and other civic actions are common and disrupt transportation on a local and national level. While protest actions generally begin peacefully, they have the potential to become violent. The police have used tear gas to break up protests. In addition to rallies and street demonstrations, protesters sometimes block roads and have reacted with force when travelers attempt to pass through or go around roadblocks. You should avoid roadblocks and demonstrations. Demonstrations protesting government or private company policies occur frequently, even in otherwise peaceful times.
If you plan to travel to or from Bolivia, you should take into consideration the possibility of disruptions to air service in and out of La Paz and other airports due to protests. Monitor Bolivian media reports and the U.S. Embassy website for updates. The U.S. Embassy strongly recommends that U.S. citizens avoid areas where roadblocks or public demonstrations are occurring or planned. Political rallies should similarly be avoided in light of press reports of violence at some rallies in various parts of Bolivia.
Roadblocks: Roadblocks are common in Bolivia. If you find yourself at a roadblock, you should not attempt to run through it, as this may aggravate the situation and lead to physical harm. Instead, you should consider taking alternative, safe routes, or returning to where the travel started. If you plan to take a road trip, be sure to monitor news reports and contact the American Citizen Services Unit of the U.S. Embassy in La Paz at (591-2) 216-8246 or the U.S. Consular Agencies in Cochabamba at (591-4) 411-6313 and/or Santa Cruz at (591-3) 351-3477 for updates. Given that roadblocks may occur without warning and have stranded travelers for several days, you should take extra food, water, and warm clothing.
The U.S. Embassy also advises U.S. citizens to maintain at least two weeks' supply of drinking water and canned food in case roadblocks affect supplies. For more information on emergency preparedness, please consult the Federal Emergency Management Authority (FEMA) web site.
The countrywide emergency number for the police, including highway patrol, is 110. The corresponding number for the fire department is 119.
The National Tourism Police has offices in La Paz and Cochabamba, providing free assistance to tourists. In the city of Santa Cruz, Interpol will provide these same services to tourists. These services include English-speaking officials who may assist tourists in filing police reports of lost/stolen documents or other valuables. The La Paz office is open 24 hours a day and is located at Plaza del Stadium, Edificio Olympia, Planta Baja, Miraflores, telephone number 800-14-0081. The Cochabamba office is located at Plaza 14 de Septiembre, Edificio Prefectura, tel. (591-4) 450-3880; it is open from 8:30 a.m. until 12:30 p.m. and 2:30 p.m. until 7:00 p.m. seven days a week.
Chapare and Yungas Regions: In the Chapare region between Santa Cruz and Cochabamba and the Yungas region northeast of La Paz, violence and civil unrest, primarily associated with anti-narcotics activities, periodically create a risk for travelers. This region is also prone to dangerous flooding due to heavy rains from December to February.
Confrontations between area residents and government authorities over coca eradication have resulted in the use of tear gas and stronger force by government authorities to quell disturbances. Pro-coca groups have expressed anti-U.S. sentiments and may attempt to target U.S. government or private interests. If you plan to travel to the Chapare or Yungas regions, we encourage you to check with the Embassy's Consular Section prior to travel. Violence has also erupted between squatters unlawfully invading private land and security forces attempting to remove them.
Stay up to date:
CRIME: The U.S. Department of State currently classifies Bolivia as a medium to high crime threat country. Street crime, such as pick pocketing, assaults following ATM withdrawals, and theft from parked vehicles, occurs with some frequency in Bolivia. You should secure your belongings in a hotel safe and refrain from wearing expensive jewelry. U.S. citizens have also had backpacks, passports, and other property stolen at bus terminals or while traveling on buses, as well as at internet cafes and in other situations where the U.S. citizen is distracted or leaves property unattended. Theft of cars and car parts, particularly late-model four-wheel-drive vehicles, is common, and some vehicles have been hijacked.
Express Kidnappings: Incidents in which tourists are robbed and forced to withdrawal money from ATMs, known as "express kidnappings", are common in La Paz. Typically, the victim enters a taxi driven by a criminal, and then an additional person or two gets in the vehicle. The victim is then robbed of his/her belongings and/or driven to an ATM where he/she is forced to provide personal identification numbers for debit and credit card withdrawals. The areas where these crimes are most frequent include Plaza Humbolt (Zona Sur), Plaza Abaroa, Plaza del Estudiante, Plaza Isabel La Católica, and Plaza San Francisco. Avoid becoming a victim of this crime by using only radio taxis and not traveling alone, particularly if you're under the influence of alcohol or it's late at night.
Coronilla Hill: We recommend that you avoid the Coronilla Hill, a Cochabamba landmark adjacent to the main bus terminal and near several markets, hostels, and restaurants. The Coronilla Hill has become an increasingly dangerous place for tourists and local citizens alike. The local police, tourist authorities, and press have declared the area off limits and cautioned people to enter the area at their own peril. U.S. citizens have been assaulted in the area. The police have made several sweeps of the area in an attempt to control the situation, but incidents of crime continue. Police reports indicate that thieves in that area have gone from purse snatching and burglary to increasingly violent assaults on passerbys.
Public Transportation: The U.S. Embassy in La Paz continues to receive reports of U.S. citizens traveling by bus from Copacabana to La Paz being held up and robbed of their ATM cards and other valuables. This crime reportedly involves U.S. citizens taking an evening bus from Copacabana. While the bus is scheduled to stop at the La Paz bus terminal, the driver will stop short of that location, typically near the General Cemetery late at night. Disembarking and disoriented passengers then have little option but to hail a waiting taxi. Thieves in cooperation with the taxi driver enter the taxi to blindfold and coerce the U.S. citizen(s) into surrendering cash, cameras, ATM cards, and other valuables. Victims have reported that once the thieves withdrew funds using the ATM cards, they were released without further harm. If you plan to travel from Copacabana, you should try to arrive during daylight hours, verify the final destination, and buy tickets directly at the Copacabana bus terminal rather than from third parties.
Scam Artists: Bolivian police report the presence of organized criminal groups operating in the La Paz area. The techniques employed by these groups vary, but there are a few major patterns, including "false police" - persons using police uniforms, identification, and even buildings modified to resemble police stations, who intercept and rob foreigners. Remember, under Bolivian law, police need a warrant from the "fiscal" (prosecutor) to detain a suspect. Any searches or seizures must occur at a bona fide police station in the presence of the prosecutor. The warrant requirement also applies to suspected drug trafficking cases, although such searches and seizures may occur without a prosecutor present. If you are detained, you should request to see the warrant and insist on immediate contact with the nearest U.S. consular office.
Be cautious of anyone introducing themselves to you as a policeman or even a fellow tourist, especially in popular tourist areas. Be wary of strangers and "false friends." If you have any doubts about a situation, immediately remove yourself from the scene.
Street Crime: Thefts of bags, wallets, and backpacks are a problem throughout Bolivia, but especially in the tourist areas of downtown La Paz and the Altiplano. Most thefts involve two or three people who spot a potential victim and wait until the bag or backpack is placed on the ground, often at a restaurant, bus terminal, internet café, etc. In other cases, the thief places a disagreeable substance on the clothes or backpack of the intended victim and then offers to assist the victim with the removal of the substance. While the person is distracted, the thief or an accomplice grabs the bag or backpack and flees. If you find yourself in such a situation, you should decline assistance, secure the bag/backpack, and walk briskly from the area.
In order to steal wallets and bags, thieves may spray water on the victim's neck, and while the person is distracted an accomplice takes the wallet or bag. At times, the thief poses as a policeman and requests that the person accompany him to the police station, using a nearby taxi. If this happens to you, say you want to contact the U.S. Embassy; do not enter the taxi. Under no circumstances should you surrender ATM or credit cards, or release a personal identification number.
While most thefts do not involve violence, in some instances the victim has been physically harmed and forcibly searched for hidden valuables. This is particularly true in "choke and rob" assaults where the victims report being choked from behind until they lost consciousness and later awoke to find all of their possessions gone. Again, avoid being alone on the streets, especially at night and in isolated areas.
Don't buy counterfeit and pirated goods, even if they are widely available. Not only are the bootlegs illegal in the United States, you may be breaking local law, too.
VICTIMS OF CRIME: If you or someone you know becomes the victim of a crime abroad, you should contact the local police and the nearest U.S. Embassy or Consulate (see the Department of State's list of embassies and consulates ). If your passport is stolen, we can help you replace it. For violent crimes such as assault and rape, we can, for example, help you find appropriate medical care, contact family members or friends and help you get money from them if you need it. Although the investigation and prosecution of the crime are solely the responsibility of local authorities, consular officers can help you to understand the local criminal justice process and to find an attorney if needed.
The local equivalent to the "911" emergency line in Bolivia is 110; the operators do not typically speak English.
Please see our information on victims of crime, including possible victim compensation programs in the United States.
CRIMINAL PENALTIES: While you are traveling in another country, you are subject to the local laws even if you are a U.S. citizen. Foreign laws and legal systems can be vastly different from our own. In some places, you may be taken in for questioning if you do not have your passport with you. In some places, it is illegal to take pictures of certain buildings and driving under the influence could land you immediately in jail. There are also some things that might be legal in Bolivia, but still illegal in the United States, and you can be prosecuted under U.S. law if you buy pirated goods or engage in child pornography. While you are overseas, U.S. laws don't apply. If you do something illegal in the host country, your U.S. passport won't help. It is very important to know what is legal and what is not legal where you are going. If you violate Bolivian laws, even unknowingly, Bolivian authorities may expel, arrest and/or imprison you. Under Bolivian law, suspects can be detained in prision for up to 18 months without formal charges while the investigation is conducted. Penalties for possessing, using, or trafficking in illegal drugs in Bolivia are severe, and convicted offenders can expect long jail sentences and heavy fines. It is not unusual for legal cases in Bolivia to drag on for years, with numerous delays and costly set-backs along the way.
SPECIAL CIRCUMSTANCES: Visitors should be careful when choosing a tour operator and should not accept any type of medication or drugs from unreliable sources.
Authentication of Documents: Any U.S. documents, such as birth, marriage, divorce, or death certificates which are to be used in Bolivia must first be authenticated in the U.S. at the nearest Bolivian Embassy or consulate. For information on those procedures, please consult the Department of State Office of Authentications and the nearest Bolivian Embassy or consulate.
Marriage: Please see our information on getting married in Bolivia, available on the Embassy's web site.
Mountain Trekking and Climbing Safety: The Embassy urges you to exercise extreme care when trekking or climbing in Bolivia. U.S. citizens have died in falls while mountain climbing in Bolivia. Three of the deaths occurred on Illimani, a 21,033-foot peak located southeast of La Paz. Many popular trekking routes in the Bolivian Andes cross passes as high as 16,000 feet. Trekkers must have adequate clothing and equipment, not always available locally, and should be experienced mountain travelers.
It is not prudent to trek alone. Solo trekking is the most significant factor contributing to injuries and robberies. The safest option is to join an organized group and/or use a reputable firm to provide an experienced guide and porter who can communicate in both Spanish and English. If you develop any of the following symptoms while climbing at altitude – severe headache, weakness, vomiting, shortness of breath at rest, cough, chest tightness, unsteadiness – descend to a lower altitude immediately. Trekkers and climbers should purchase adequate insurance to cover expenses in case of injury or death.
If you are a woman traveling abroad, please review our travel tips for Women Travelers.
LGBT RIGHTS: The Bolivian constitution prohibits discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity. For more detailed information about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) rights around the world, you may review the State Department's Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 2012. For further information on LGBT travel, please read our Information for LGBT Travelers page.
MEDICAL FACILITIES AND HEALTH INFORMATION: Throughout the country, both personal hygiene and sanitary practices in food handling are far below U.S. standards. Food and beverage precautions are essential. Medical care in large cities is adequate for most purposes but of varying quality. Ambulance services are limited to non-existent. Medical facilities are generally not adequate to handle serious medical conditions. Pharmacies are located throughout Bolivia and prescription and over-the-counter medications are widely available. Western Bolivia, dominated by the Andes and high plains (Altiplano), is largely insect-free. However, altitude sickness (see below) is a major problem. Eastern Bolivia is tropical, and visitors to that area are subject to related illnesses. Insect precautions are recommended.
Travelers to Bolivia should consult with a Travel Clinic well in advance of departure for further information on recommended vaccinations.
Dengue: Dengue is endemic throughout eastern Bolivia, including in the city of Santa Cruz. Since January 2007, there have been several thousand cases, representing a significantly increased incidence and part of a region-wide trend.
Rabies: Bolivia is a high risk area for rabies. Dog and bat bites and scratches should be taken seriously and post-exposure prophylaxis sought.
Yellow Fever: Yellow fever is present in subtropical Bolivia. Yellow fever vaccination certification is required for entry visa applications, and may be required prior to boarding by airlines flying into/transiting Bolivia, as well as at entry points to Bolivia. Please refer to the Center for Disease Control's (CDC) information on Yellow Fever.
High Altitude Health Risks: The altitude of La Paz ranges from 10,600 feet to over 13,000 feet (3,400 to 4,000 meters) above sea level. Much of Western Bolivia is at the same altitude or higher, including Lake Titicaca, the Salar de Uyuni, and the cities of Oruro and Potosi. The altitude alone poses a serious risk of illness, hospitalization and even death, even for those in excellent health.
Prior to departing the U.S. for high-altitude locations (over 10,000 feet above sea level), you should discuss the trip with your healthcare provider and request information on specific recommendations concerning medication and lifestyle tips at high altitudes. Coca-leaf tea is a popular beverage and folk remedy for altitude sickness in Bolivia. However, possession of this tea, which is sold in bags in most Bolivian grocery stores, is illegal in the United States. "Sorojchi pills" sold in local pharmacies, contain high amounts of caffeine and are not usually recommended.
The State Department cautions travelers planning to visit La Paz to consider the following risks and advice:
Everyone, even healthy and fit persons, will feel symptoms of hypoxia (lack of oxygen) upon arrival at high altitude. Most people will have increased respiration and increased heart rate. Many will have headaches, difficulty sleeping, lack of appetite, minor gastric and intestinal upsets, and mood changes. Try to limit physical activity for the first 36 to 48 hours after arrival, and avoid alcohol and smoking for at least one week after arrival.
Good information on vaccinations and other health precautions can be found in the CDC's " Yellow Book ". For information about outbreaks of infectious diseases abroad, consult the World Health Organization (WHO) website. The WHO website also contains additional health information for travelers, including detailed country-specific health information.
MEDICAL INSURANCE: You can't assume your insurance will go with you when you travel. It is very important to find out BEFORE you leave. You need to ask your insurance company two questions:
In many places, doctors and hospitals still expect payment in cash at the time of service. Your regular U.S. health insurance may not cover doctors' and hospital visits in Bolivia. Medicare does not cover medical expenses incurred during overseas travel. If your policy doesn't cover you when you travel, it's a very good idea to take out another one for your trip. For more information, please see our medical insurance overseas page.
TRAFFIC SAFETY AND ROAD CONDITIONS: While in a foreign country, U.S. citizens may encounter road conditions that differ significantly from those in the United States. The information below concerning Bolivia is provided for general reference only and may not be totally accurate in a particular location or circumstance. If you plan on driving in Bolivia, despite the hazards described below, you should obtain an international driver's license through your local automobile club before coming to Bolivia.
Road conditions in Bolivia are hazardous. Although La Paz, Santa Cruz, and Cochabamba are connected by improved highways, the vast majority of roads in Bolivia are unpaved. Few highways have shoulders, fencing or barriers, and highway markings are minimal. Yielding for pedestrians in the cities is not the norm. For trips outside the major cities, especially in mountainous areas, we highly recommend using a four-wheel-drive vehicle. Travel during the rainy season (November through March) is difficult, as most routes have potholes, and roads and bridges may be washed out. Added dangers are the absence of formal training for most drivers, poor maintenance and overloaded vehicles, lack of lights on some vehicles at night, and intoxicated or overly tired drivers, including commercial bus and truck drivers.
The majority of intercity travel in Bolivia is by bus, with varying levels of safety and service. Bus accidents, at times attributed to drunk drivers or mechanical failures, have caused scores of deaths and severe injuries. In recent years, there have been major bus crashes on the highway between La Paz and Oruro, Cochabamba and Santa Cruz, Oruro and Cochabamba and on the Yungas road. The old Yungas road is considered one of the most dangerous routes in the world.
Public Transportation: From a crime perspective, public transportation is relatively safe, and violent assaults are rare. However, petty theft of unattended backpacks and other personal items does occur. For safety purposes, the Embassy advises you to use radio taxis whenever possible. U.S. citizens taking unlicensed taxis have reported being robbed and assaulted.
In Case of Accident: Drivers of vehicles involved in traffic accidents are expected to remain at the scene until the local police arrive. Any attempt to leave the scene violates Bolivian law. The Embassy believes any attempt to flee the scene of an accident would place the driver and passengers at greater risk of harm than remaining at the scene until the arrival of local police.
Please refer to our Road Safety page for more information.
AVIATION SAFETY OVERSIGHT: The U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) has assessed the Government of Bolivia's Civil Aviation Authority as being in compliance with International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) aviation safety standards for oversight of Bolivia's air carrier operations. For more information, visit the FAA's safety assessment page.
CHILDREN'S ISSUES: Adoption by U.S. citizens of Bolivian children can be a very complicated process. Please see our Office of Children's Issues web pages on intercountry adoption and international parental child abduction if you are considering adoption of a Bolivian child.

Chef Matt is a Los Angeles based personal chef and is constantly coming up with inventive creations to make salads fun and delicious. He shared his latest with us!
Chef Matt: I love this salad right now, becuase all these ingredients are at
their peak and this dressing just accentuates the natural flavors of
the ingredients. Go to the farmer's market and buy fresh arugula to
get the extra peppery bitter taste (that's why I don't season the
dressing with pepper, but you certainly can), a super sweet
watermelon, and nice acidic heirloom tomato., and don't forget the
fresh basil; always chop this right before toss the salad. This
lightly citrusy You can't get a better taste of summer in your mouth
then this.
Raw Walnuts, roasted and chopped
Watermelon, diced
Tomato, diced
Basil, chiffonade
Toss with dressing, plate and garnish with balls of goat cheese. I
think Cypress Grove's Purple Haze is a great go to goat here.
Fresh Ginger, 5 passes on a microplane to yield about 1/4 of a t, or tt
1 Orange, zested with 3 passes of a microplane & juiced, or tt
1 Lime, zested with 2 passes of the microplane or tt for more acidity & juiced
tt Agave Nectar
tt Champagne Vinegar (Various types of balsamics are also great try
here too; I have a tangerine one I like to use for this salad; and
I'll often omit the ginger if I use a balsamic)
tt Salt
Whisk in at least = parts EVOO to your base, ie 1<1 acid:oil. Use more
oil for a creamery dressing
tt = to taste
EVOO = Extra Virgin Olive Oil

At first this appears to be a date of 1820 - but could it be 1822? What is going on with the 0? I cannot really tell that it is damage. The Reverse could possibly be that of 1820 (N-4) Reverse D...which is the same (with a slightly different description) as 1822 N-7 (Reverse G). [Noyes: United States Large Cents 1816 - 1839]. Does anyone have any insight on this?

I love this cup! I have to say I had pretty high hopes for this transitional sippy cup and it definitely lived up to my expectations. I love it and whats even better is my 4 month old took to it right away and loves it. This is the first sippy cup that we had to buy and I'm so glad that we are gonna be able to keep it that away. We went through lots of money and time when it came to bottles for my picky breastfed baby. I wish I would have known about Tommee Tippee sooner because I would have purchased their line of bottles too!

I bought this for my 6 mo. old son. Then I returned it to the store because he couldn't tip his head back far enough to get the milk out while sitting in his high chair. The spout opening inside the cup is too much to the center, so the cup has to be almost completely upside down before the drink can come out. The spout wasn't as soft as I was expecting. It's basically plastic with a rubberized coating. I guess it's supposed to be able to flex a little, but I didn't notice any flexing. One good thing is that the cup did not leak. I liked that the valve comes apart for easy cleaning.

Comments about Tommee Tippee 1017092 Tommee Tippee Closer to Nature First Sips Weaning Cup - 4m+ - 5 oz. - Blue:
Really bad. First NOTHING comes out. Way to frustrate a baby. Second, even if it did the handles are totally useless as the spout never lines up. Totally worthless. DO NOT BUY.

Couldn't get any milk out
By Dorkyj
from Ohio
About Me First Time Parent
See all my reviews
My 5 month old sucked and sucked on this and couldn't get any milk out of it. I even tried and liquid comes out one tiny drop at a time. My son became frustrated with it because he could tell there was milk in it, but couldn't get it out. I decided to also try the nuk, born free, and playtex sippy cups for beginning weaning since I realized not all cups were going to work. The playtex cup was the only one that he could drink out of. He downed a couple ounces in a few minutes. It seems as though all babies have different preferences, so you may have to buy several brands until you find what your baby likes.
Can't get anything to come out
By Melly
from Atlanta GA
My baby, nor me, nor my husband can get a drop out of this cup. I guess ours is defective. Sure is alot of money on a cup that doesn't work. Unusable
Terrible design
By Busymom
from Kansas City, MO
The lid screws on, but when fully tightened does not line up so the nipple is between the handles. It also leaks- not as bad as some, but after buying a ton of sippy cups hoping to find one that works, this product is not worth your money.

Versitile product
By first time mom
from warsaw, in
I love the fact that I can switch parts with the Tommee Tippee bottle, such as using the cup & handles with a nipple. The only issue I have had is that I hardly ever seem to be able to line up the spout correctly. It isn't a horrible problem, it just looks a little funny & might be a little awkward for my little one.

The Worst Tippee Cup
By Sunny D
from Michigan
THis is the worst cup we have purchased yet. It is impossible to get the lid screwed all the way down b/c it's super smooth and slippery. The valve inside falls into the drink then leaks all over. Cups do noit need more than two parts.
Love this little cup!
By Nate's Mommy
from Salisbury, NC
I bought this for my 6 month old baby boy. He's never really seemed that interested in holding his bottle, even though he LOVES to hold everything else so the handles make it easy for him to hold. He can drink out of the sippy spout part, but he only takes a few sips at a time which is good for hot days. I gave 5 out of 5 stars because it actually doesn't leak. You can use it with or without handles, and can use the handles on any other TT bottle. Now my baby can feed himself! Absolutely worth the money, and would have paid double for it! Everything is so easy to clean and put together, and I love that it has a lid. When he is done taking a few sips of water, I just hang one of the handles from my belt loop,or diaper bag pocket and it stays put and doesn't slip off. I would recommend this to anyone who has a baby. This little cup is so cute!
not bad
By noels mommy
from hesperia ca
I bought this cup for my 4 month old son wjo is exclussively breast fed bc he refuses to take any bottle i havr given him!!! And thank goofness bc he loves it!!!!!! He drinks more out if this cup that he has out of every bottke put together. The handles are great bc he wants to fo everything by himself!!! I havent had sny problems with the lid not screwinh on right. Its perfect.i would have hiven 5 stars but i do agree with the fact that it is hard to get gluid out of it if its not more yhan half full.
waste of money
By Abby's mom
from Charleston SC
The top doesn't line up no matter how many times I try it aligns with the handles. This makes having the handles useless - I bought it for the handles. Annoyed that you cannot just buy the sipper tops for TT sippers to use with the bottles I already have.

CORPUS CHRISTI - Tonight we bring you a heart warming story of baby girl who was born with a cleft lip and palette. thanks to surgeons, she is making a rapid recovery, but her journey is far from over.
Now, with the help of total strangers, 7 month old, Mykayla Pineda has a bright future ahead of her, despite the obstacles she still has to overcome.
Mykayla Renee Pineda was born on June 14th, 2012, but her birth wasn't as easy as most. At only 1 pound, 11 ounces, Mykayla was born much too small.
"I mean her head wasn't even as big as the palm of my hand," said mother, Monique Pineda.
But that wasn't all, you see, Mykayala was born with a cleft lip and cleft palette, this picture was taken only moments after she was born. In it, you can see that the left part of her lip and her left nostril are missing.
It's something no parent wants for their newborn.
"Regardless of the severity of it, I mean it still...it takes you back," said father, John Pineda.
But the Pineda's quickly learned to love their daughter's smile, that is until a surgeon at Driscoll Children's Hospital told them Mykayla's palette had to be fixed.
"We were happy, but at the same time, I was really sad to see that smile go, because I got so used to it," Monique said.
On January 11th of this year, Mykayla went into surgery and came out with a brand new smile.
But even though she looks better, Mykayla still has more obstacles to overcome. With her cleft palette still affecting her mouth and throat, Mykayla's parent's sometimes have trouble feeding her.
"Even as she's getting older, it doesn't make it any easier. She tends to choke every once in a while when she drinks too fast," John said.
And with her next surgery in May and years of speech therapy when she begins to talk, the strain is taking it's toll on the parents.
John told me, "Emotionally, financially, things have gotten a little tight for us. But it is what it is and we're going to make due with what we got."
Which is why they were so surprised when a total stranger contacted them after hearing little Mykayla's story,
wanting to throw a benefit for the baby girl.
"The way things go in the world, you read all the bad stuff, there is a lot of great people in the world. And I'm blessed to have so many friends and family," said John.
The BBQ benefit will be on Sunday, February 24th and every single penny earned will go toward helping this little girl create a brand new smile, all her own.
If you want to know more about the benefit or want to volunteer to help out, you can visit the benefit's Facebook page at https://www.facebook.com/events/360475097383516/.

Indeed, whenever there is a vacancy, dozens of state circuit judges, federal magistrate judges, prosecutors and defense attorneys apply to the Florida Federal Judicial Nominating Commission.
Miami attorney Kendall Coffey, who serves on the commission, said the turnover on South Florida's federal bench has been significant, but there is always a steady supply of "the legal community's best and brightest" eager to fill the prestigious positions.
The 60-plus member commission, appointed by U.S. Sen. Bill Nelson, a Democrat, reviews applications, including educational background, general legal experience, trial activity, judicial roles, written work and recommendations, among many factors.
The rigorous process also involves interviews with commission members, who pick three finalists. They are further interviewed by Florida's two U.S. senators. The president makes the final nomination, which requires Senate confirmation.
The nominating process is highly political for these lifetime judicial appointments, depending on whether a Democrat or a Republican is sitting in the White House. The confirmation process can also lead to rejection, or drag on seemingly forever.
Case in point: the confirmation of Williams, who was a former federal prosecutor in addition to serving as Miami's longtime federal public defender. She was nominated by Obama in July 2010. But Williams' confirmation was delayed for a year, partly because U.S. District Judge William J. Zloch in Fort Lauderdale privately expressed opposition to her nomination.
Chief U.S. District Judge Federico A. Moreno came to Williams' rescue in July 2011, writing to Senate leaders: "Ms. Williams ... has been awaiting confirmation for the longest period of any present nominee to the district court in the entire country. ... The judgeship Ms. Williams has been nominated to fill has been vacant for two years!"
The following month, Williams was finally confirmed, along with Scola, whose confirmation was relatively quick.
As is customary, dozens of civil and criminal cases were dumped on the newcomers.
Williams has presided over a variety of cases, including a nasty dispute between auto insurance mogul Nicolas Estrella and the insurer of his yacht, which was scuttled over the Bahamas. She also oversaw the case of Ponzi schemer Gaston E. Cantens and the prosecution of Seminole Tribe leader David Cypress on income-tax violations.
Although Cypress only pleaded guilty to filing a false tax return in 2007, understating his income by $285,000, the new judge put his crime in a compelling context: "I find what Mr. Cypress pleaded to and agreed to in his proffer was uniquely and sadly American. He was cooking the books."
Scola has presided over some long trials, including the criminal fraud case against four men accused of directing a bunch of "bar girls" to seduce and swindle male customers at Russian-style South Beach clubs. The bar operators racked up bogus bills for champagne, vodka and caviar on the patrons' credit cards.
The trial lasted 11 weeks, ending with convictions Thursday of three of the four defendants, all of whom testified at trial.
A Miami attorney who represented one of the male victims in the so-called B-girls case said Scola balanced the interests of all parties during the trial — the hallmark of fairness.
"He carefully allowed the defense attorneys to have generous cross-examination of the witnesses, while protecting the victims who were testifying about personal and embarrassing facts," said Joseph DeMaria, a former federal prosecutor.
"As difficult as it was to testify about these events, my client was very appreciative of the professional way that the case was handled."

My career as the chief drama critic of The New York Times began with a car crash and a death, and ended with another car crash and another death. But don't get me wrong: there was lots of life, on stage and off, along the way.
The first crash took place on a hot morning in the Berkshires in July 1980, shortly after I arrived at The Times to serve as a second-stringer to Walter Kerr. The previous night I had covered "Candida" at the Williamstown Theater Festival. Driving back to New York, I lost control of the rental car, which skidded across the country road and flipped over on its roof.
I landed on an examination table back in Manhattan, where an orthopedist inspected my fractured collarbone. As the doctor manipulated my shoulder, making me writhe in pain, he looked solemnly into my eyes.
"Tell me something," he said. "Could you get me a pair for 'Barnum' for Saturday night?"

I'm looking for bullet points on how to negotiate. I know there are entire tomes written on this. But I also know that the essence of negotiation can be boiled down to a few essential points - that is what I'm after (particularly, since I will not have the time to read a tome before I need to negotiate on the terms of a joint venture partnership).
So, can someone summarize the keypoints (and sequence of steps/phases) involved in negotiation?
Failing that, is there a recommended "cheat book" or handbook guide I can refer to?

Gone but not forgotten
Then, something different happened. I saw a toy horse tied to a horse ring and got curious about what was going on. Google helped me discover that there was a movement afoot to place as many toy horses as possible, all started by a guy who moved to Portland and found the horse rings fascinating--The Horse Project, Portland, OR. People participated and then people vandalized and/or stole the horses. Thank goodness I was able to see some of this creativity for myself, but I haven't seen any since last May.
Here's the first horse I photographed on March 31, 2007, on busy NW 23rd a few blocks from our apartment. What a lovely little toy horse, standing proudly.
And here's the second one I found, also on NW 23rd. I took this photo on April 5, 2007.
Neither horse remained there for more than a week. Have you seen anything like this in your city?
Update: Mama and Duncan are holding their own very well. She's got a doctor's appointment on Tuesday morning.

Nice to think somebody left them hoping a child would pick them up but if I had to guess it would be some adult got them both.
On the other hand, there could be a whole camera and film crew from China there taking pictures to see who picks them up. Their Research and Development programs reach all the way into the privacy of bathrooms in hotels, motels and restaurants. - February 5, 2008 at 2:31 AM

What a cute idea! If someone took the horses, they probably really needed them. I'd like to think it was a child in need of toys. :)

Dickinson has several resources for you to explore off-campus program options:
- The Center for Global Study and Engagement maintains information regarding off-campus program options, including evaluations by former participants to assist you in selecting the program best suited to your needs and interests;- The Center sponsors program information sessions and an annual study abroad fair in the fall;- Dickinson Programs and Partner Programs have on-campus faculty coordinators who act as resources for students interested in studying off-campus. You are encouraged to explore your options and discuss your plans with these faculty coordinators as well as Center staff.
The short answer is that it is a privilege. Acceptance to Dickinson does not in any way guarantee acceptance into the college's study abroad programs. Acceptance into a study abroad program is a selective process, and your application will be denied if you do not meet the standards for admission set by the college. See the section on Policies.
You are permitted to study off campus for one full academic year plus an additional short-term program (a summer program or Globally Integrated Course). You may petition the Associate Provost and Executive Director of Global Education for permission to participate in more than one year of off-campus study. In the past, students granted such permission have spent as long as two years studying off campus on as many as four different programs. Information on the petition process is available from the Center for Global Study and Engagement.
Dickinson ranks in the top five colleges in the country in numbers of students who study abroad for an entire academic year and we encourage you to consider this option. Approximately 58% of a class will have studied off campus by the time they graduate. Of those who study abroad:25% participate in an academic-year program55% participate in a semester program20% participate in a short-term program
Dickinson students typically study on semester and academic year programs during their junior year, but some students may choose to study abroad during sophomore year or for the first semester of senior year. Globally Integrated courses and summer programs appeal to all students, either as a one-time-only off-campus experience or in addition to a semester or year abroad.
Each year, more than 20 students from other institutions participate in Dickinson study abroad programs, some through special consortial arrangements. These students are warmly welcomed as "guest students" of the college for the duration of the program. As such, they enjoy all the rights and privileges granted by the program, the one restriction being ineligibility for Dickinson grant money and endowed scholarships.
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis, and programs may reach full capacity well before the deadlines below. It is in your best interest to complete the application process as soon as possible. Exceptions to these deadlines are noted in the specific program descriptions.
Program type: Academic Year Fall Spring SummerDickinson Feb. 15 Feb. 15 Sept. 15 Feb. 1Partner Feb. 15 Feb. 15 Sept. 15 n/aNon-Dickinson Feb. 1 Feb. 1 Sept. 1 n/a
Applications to study abroad are available online by searching for the program of your choice here. Once on the program page, click "Apply Now".
Application DecisionsDecisions are made by faculty program committees that assist in the planning and development of the off-campus programs. You may be interviewed as part of this process, depending on the requirements of the individual program.Notification and AcceptanceThe Center for Global Study and Engagement will notify you of admission decisions via email and the online application system. If you are accepted, you must return a signed confirmation of participation form and a $300 confirmation payment by the deadline specified in your acceptance letter. Students who do not return their confirmation payment and confirmation of participation form by the deadline may be removed from the list of participants.PassportsYou should apply for a passport before or at the time of your application to an off-campus program. A copy of the first page of your passport must be included with the off-campus study application.Orientation MeetingsA general pre-departure orientation is held each semester to disseminate necessary information regarding study abroad preparation for all students. Program-specific orientation meetings are also held to address site-specific topics related to health and safety, cross-cultural adjustment, and learning goals and objectives. These orientations are led by Center staff, on-campus faculty coordinators and returned students. An orientation handbook is produced by the Center for Global Study and Engagement and distributed to students via the online application system and available to parents on the global website.
Dickinson College does not formally pre-approve courses for transfer. However, students should thoroughly discuss their off-campus plans with their academic advisor(s) prior to leaving Carlisle. Students should talk with their advisor(s) about what may or may not fulfill Dickinson transfer credit requirements, specifically which courses taken off-campus may fulfill major, minor, or distribution requirements. Keep in mind that it helps to have more courses than you can actually enroll in selected so that you have a back-up list in the event you are unable to get into all of your 'first-choice' courses. In some cases, conversations with appropriate department chairs may also be helpful. Some departments on campus may require extra work, especially for advanced-level credit. It is the student's responsibility to inquire about any extra work required. Center staff are available to answer general questions about transfer credit policies.
Yes! You should maintain e-mail contact with your academic advisor while you're abroad, especially during the first weeks of the semester when you are in the process of finalizing your course schedule. To document coursework, you should keep a portfolio for each course, including a syllabus, reading list, completed projects, written work, journals, examinations, etc.
Specific transfer credit policies vary depending on whether you study on a Dickinson Program, a Dickinson Partner Program, or a non-Dickinson program and, sometimes, policies can vary among courses from different institutions or disciplines on the same program. However, the following guidelines apply to all courses taken abroad:
- Only liberal arts classes will qualify for transfer credit.- Generally speaking, courses should have an equivalent at Dickinson. Exceptions include classes that focus on the culture and/or history of the country in which you are studying.- Transfer credit will not be awarded for coursework that duplicates what you have already completed at Dickinson.- You must take a normal full load of classes as defined by your host program or institution.
Transfer credit is awarded only for classes in which you earn a grade of "C" or better. However, all courses and grades will appear on your transcript.*
Grades for Dickinson courses taught at many, but not all, of the Dickinson Centers (i.e., courses approved by the Academic Program and Standards Committee and taught by faculty approved by the Faculty Personnel Committee) are included in your GPA, regardless of the grade earned.Grades for courses taken at a cooperating institution (including those at many of the Dickinson programs, most Partner Programs and non-Dickinson programs) are recorded on your transcript but are not included in the GPA. Please note the following exceptions:
The following courses taken at cooperating institutions have been approved as "Dickinson courses" by the appropriate academic departments. Letter grades earned will be included in your GPA for:
- University of East Anglia (Norwich) courses in English, American studies, economics, fine arts, theatre, music, history, philosophy, and religion. Courses in sociology except for core courses 240, 241, and 330/331, for which pre-approval is required.- University of East Anglia (Norwich) courses in biology, chemistry, environmental science, environmental studies, geology, mathematics, psychology, and computer science.- All courses taken through the School for Field Studies- University of Queensland (Brisbane, Australia) courses in psychology- Institut Catholique de Toulouse (Toulouse, France) courses in psychology- All psychology courses taken at the Danish Institute for Study Abroad (DIS) in Copenhagen, Denmark- All courses taken at the Intercollegiate Center for Classical Studies (ICCS) in Rome, Italy.
To take more than 4.5 credits per semester on a Dickinson or Dickinson Partner Program, a student must petition the Center for Global Study and Engagement. If a student registers for more than the maximum credits allowed without permission of the Center for Global Study and Engagement, the course credit will not transfer.To take more than 4 credits per semester on a non-Dickinson program , a student must petition the Center for Global Study and Engagement. If a student registers for more than the maximum credits allowed without permission of the Center for Global Study and Engagement, the course credit will not transfer.
Dickinson students enrolled in a Dickinson or Dickinson Partner Program abroad may receive up to a maximum of 4.5 course credits for one semester. Some programs require a separate pre-program orientation course that may yield an additional credit (please consult your orientation handbook for more information).
Dickinson students enrolled in a non-Dickinson program may receive up to a maximum of 4 course credits for one semester.
* Students who take an overload of courses without the proper permissions from Dickinson, the extra course will not transfer and will not show up on the transcript.
If you participated in a Dickinson or Dickinson Partner Program:Upon return to the Carlisle campus, you must complete the Enrollment in Another Institution Form. Seniors are required to submit these forms prior to the course request period for their last semester. If the form is not in the Registrar's Office by that time, the student will not be permitted to participate in the course request period. Please note that this form is required only when you are seeking major, minor, or distribution credit for coursework completed at a cooperating university. The form is not required for Dickinson Center courses, or for courses at a cooperating university for which you are seeking only general credit. After obtaining the required signatures, you should bring to the Center for Global Study and Engagement. The form will then be forwarded to the Registrar's Office.If you participated in a non-Dickinson program:Upon return to the Carlisle campus, you must complete the Enrollment in Another Institution form. Seniors are required to submit these forms prior to the course request period for their last semester. If the form is not in the Registrar's Office by that time, the student will not be permitted to participate in course request. Please note that this form is required whether you are seeking major, minor, distribution, or general credit. After obtaining the required signatures, you should bring the form to the Center for Global Study and Engagement for approval. The form will then be forwarded to the Registrar's Office. Students should work directly with their host program to ensure that an official transcript is sent to the Registrar's Office as soon as possible after the program has ended.
Determination of eligibility for major, minor, or distribution credit is up to the academic chair(s) of the relevant department(s). You should be prepared to provide course descriptions, syllabi, reading materials, as well as papers and/or exams that you wrote as part of the class. For example, if you are a history major and you took a history course abroad, you should meet with the chair of Dickinson's history department, who will then determine whether the course is eligible for major credit. If the course is approved for major credit, the chair will sign your Enrollment in Another Institution Form. For a list of current department chairs, as well as interdisciplinary program advisors, click here.
Please note that students interested in participating in non-Dickinson study abroad programs during the summer are not required to complete a Dickinson application. However, the following steps must be followed in order to transfer in any credit from non-Dickinson summer study abroad programs:
1. You must fill out an Enrollment in Another Institution, listing the course (or courses) you plan to take. 2. If you are seeking major, minor, or distribution credit, you must obtain signatures from the chairs of the relevant academic departments, who may want to see course descriptions and/or syllabi. 3. You should then bring the signed form to the Center for Global Study and Engagement, along with an unofficial copy of your transcript. 4. The Center will check to make sure that you have at least a 2.0 GPA (the minimum required to transfer in credit); that the proposed summer course does not duplicate coursework you have already completed for credit at Dickinson; and that you have not already transferred in four summer and/or January-term credits (the maximum number allowed). 5. If everything is in order, the Center will forward the Enrollment in Another Institution Form to the Registrar's Office, where it will be kept on file pending receipt of your summer transcript. 6. You must earn grades of "C" or better in order to transfer in credits.

ENGLEWOOD, COLO. (AP) -- Some teams like to say the fourth quarter is theirs. The Denver Broncos are taking it to a different level.
With Peyton Manning putting a new spin on the art of the comeback almost every week and the Denver defense keeping him in every game, the Broncos have outscored their opponents 79-6 in the fourth quarter this season.
The 73-point differential is 37 points better than the next best team, the New York Giants, and is the second-highest total through six games in the Super Bowl era. Only the 1980 Detroit Lions, who finished 9-7, had a better differential at this point in the season, according to STATS LLC. The '80 Lions outscored their first six opponents 84-10 in the final period.
