Science Fairs – A Life-Changing Experience
Los Angeles County Science Fair winners who participated in the Intel International Science & Engineering Fair (ISEF) competitions
I am Sanath Devalapurkar, a freshman at West High School, Torrance, and I'd like to say this: ISEF 2015 rocked! I had never expected to win anything in the Los Angeles County Science Fair, let alone winning Best in Category at ISEF!
The Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, normally shortened to ISEF, is an international science and engineering fair (as the name suggests) bringing the world's brightest minds from over 78 countries. Since I wasn't expecting to win anything, my mind was geared to making the most of my week at ISEF by meeting people from other cultures and learning about who they were, what their project was, what motivated them to study science, etc. I therefore found the pin exchange an amazing cultural event – I got ninety-five pins (granted, I did have multiple copies of some of the pins…)!
But that wasn't the only thing that I loved about ISEF. In addition to the cultural representation, the variety of sciences represented here was mind-blowing. Out of the 20 categories (including math, behavioral and social sciences, biomed, computational biology, physics and astronomy, chemistry, and 14 more), every single project in every single category was amazing (not joking). Thanks to ISEF, I was able to meet great people from the math category, and in a collaborative effort, four friends I met at ISEF and I started a blog on math!
I don't believe that this would be something I'd be able to do without going to ISEF. I am truly grateful to the LA County Science Fair for simply allowing me to take part in this amazing science fair, since my belief that science (math, to be more precise) is truly what I want to study was reinforced. Thank you all for providing all of these great opportunities to young scientists!

Even before LACSEF, my senior year research was special to me: it was the first year I'd ever worked in a regulated research institution, the first year I'd been mentored by someone currently involved in research, and, most importantly, the first year I've felt like what I was doing was scientifically relevant. Then, the email that my science research teacher sent inviting me to represent PVPHS in LACSEF made me feel like I'd already won, just having the honor of participating.
A note on LACSEF: The judging procedure differed from any other fair I've attended. Instead of half a dozen ten-minute interviews one after another, a single panel of judges went through each project and then were able to return several times for follow up questions so that they could fully understand each project in the category. At other science fairs, judges usually get only a cursory understanding of your year's work, and sometimes you feel a sting of disappointment when you realize you've forgotten to mention this or that detail; but since LA County was so thorough, I went home feeling like whatever happened come the awards ceremony, I had done all that I could.
At the awards ceremony, I had no special plans but to cheer on my peers and anyone who looked like they had a good attitude. Therefore, my reaction to getting called up for Intel was a simple and astonished "WHAT?!" as my friends shoved me toward the stage.
I used to believe that "things don't happen to me"; that I could be very good at things, but not the best – that was the business of the people around me. But being chosen to go to Intel – that was something that "didn't happen" to me, but it was happening, and it was like stepping into an alternate universe to just step into the room behind the stage after the ceremony where we would hear our first instructions.
Intel had the same quality of being awesomely unreal. Incredibly impressive people (like the founder of Not Impossible) telling us that WE puny high-schoolers are the future? Unreal. Listening to hilarious Nobel Prize Laureates and actually conversing with them afterward? Unreal. Dance party the night before the biggest pre-collegiate science fair in the world with the contestants of that fair? Unreal, and also an amazing idea by the Intel people – we're already prepared after all the fairs we went through to get to Intel, so it was a really nice and needed de-stressor before the big day; I slept really well! Being part of the science fair itself? UNREAL. The scale and scope of the fair itself was just mind-boggling, especially as I'm the kind of person with an appreciation for Secretary-esque organization (which explains my leadership positions in high school). And, of course, meeting hundreds of friendly people from all over the world within a week? Unreal, especially when the person with whom you conversed on the most fatuous subjects on Wednesday ends up walking on the stage to accept award after award on Thursday. They are people, and they are brilliant at the same time. Who would have thought?
Finally, the very, very last part, winning 4th place at the Grand Awards, showed me that, despite my bewilderment at it all, I did somehow belong there in the middle of that crazy amazing unreality.
Science and engineering make ISEF possible, because there is so much out there and so much happening. That week reminded me of the world's beauty, and its hope. I used to wonder if to be happy is to be blind to the world's suffering, but science isn't about blindness; it's about recognizing the problem but also recognizing the potential to fix it. The people of ISEF were serious and precise people, but they were happy people – science had shown them reality, and science had made them capable of smiling at it.

If you asked me about this time last year anything about science fairs or what Intel was, I wouldn't have been able to tell you. I didn't even fully understand what I was doing when I registered for LA County Science Fair. I was asked if I wanted to participate when I was researching at the Cabrillo Marine Aquarium and I gave a quick "sure" as I rushed off to my weekly research. That "sure" turned in to so many amazing opportunities that I could have never even dreamed of.
Intel ISEF is something so many teens hope to get a chance to go to one day. Going this past year, I can say that it is really incredible. I made so many great friends from all over the world, met some Nobel Laureates, and learned about the projects that teens my age have conducted was incredible. In preparing for ISEF, Misty Mercier and Margery Weitkamp were really helpful and were there for any questions I had about the fair itself or suggestions on my presentation. Talking to the judges, other participants, students, and other special interviewers really helped me gain confidence in my project. The judges were very helpful on offering suggestions to improve my project and make it stronger. My overall experience was life changing and I hope that I get the opportunity to attend ISEF again.

Carl Sagan once said, "Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge." It is this way of thinking that the LA County Science Fair has taught thousands of Southern California students. My participation in the LACSF for the past several years has afforded me numerous opportunities to learn and broaden my horizons. Through my involvement in the LACSF, I have not only been able to meet like-minded peers and learn about their projects, but also meet with and learn from the many scientists and engineers who volunteer their time to be judges at the fair.
My annual search for a project and the subsequent months of research taught me that it is imagination and the desire to discover that lie at the core of science. With each passing year, I learned more and more from my own investigations and the suggestions and feedback I received from my judges at the LACSF. Their encouragement and advice helped me take my project in new directions, and reminded me that research is critical to addressing the challenges that our world faces. Each year, I would come away from the fair with new ideas and a renewed desire to continue my work. The LACSF has not only played a key role in helping me find a path to a potential career, but also allowed me to fulfill a long-standing desire: participating in the Intel ISEF.
ISEF 2013 was unlike anything I expected, to say the least. I had the opportunity to speak with other finalists who were researching the same type of brain tumor that I was, and we discussed our research. It was fascinating to see how people from all across the world approached the same problem in very different ways than I did. But it was the sheer scale of ISEF that impacted me the most. Each of the more than 1500 students shared with the world something they had discovered themselves. The topics of these research projects spanned the gamut, ranging from the design of self-guided automobiles to the development of novel ways to predict metastasis-free survival of cancer. The plethora of ideas that I learned about from my fellow finalists was truly astounding. It was clear that many of the people around me would play a critical role in designing the future. I had many stimulating conversations and made many memories that I am confident will last a lifetime. The highlight of the week-long fair was the humorous panel discussion with four Nobel laureates who shared their experiences with the finalists. My time at ISEF reinforced my desire to pursue a career conducting STEM-related research. I feel fortunate to have had a life-changing science fair experience this year, and I am grateful to the LACSF and its many dedicated and hardworking volunteers who made it possible for me to be a part of ISEF 2013.
Ellie Hara- Palos Verdes Penninsula HS
Hello everyone. My name is Ellie Hara and I participated in science fairs in 11th and 12th grade. When I started off in 11th grade, I didn't know much about science fair, so suffice to say, my project wasn't anything spectacular. However, by senior year, I knew that I wanted to try a project more difficult in the realm of chemistry and physics, so I got an internship with The Aerospace Corporation, which is where I did my project.
Honestly, I would encourage anyone who is interested to participate in science fairs because of how many doors it opens for you intellectually. For me, interning at The Aerospace Corporation showed me how research is performed currently, with all of the procedures and such, and taught me many valuable skills that no class room lab experiment can teach. I sincerely believe this lab experience will come in handy when I start college science classes. Doing science fair also helped solidify the dream of becoming a scientist and helped me narrow down what field I would want to possibly pursue in college.
One of the greatest things about science fair, other than learning about a subject you are interested in, is meeting people around your age who share similar interests. It helps you realize that perhaps it isn't so "nerdy" to want to pursue the sciences. Seeing what other people have researched also opens up new thoughts and gets you to ask more questions. Sometimes, another person's project will be related to yours, and will help you think about your own project from a different angle. Progressing from the local, to state, to international, the projects only got more and more advanced, which also means they become more interesting.
Intel ISEF was one of the most rewarding experiences I've ever had. Meeting people from around the world and seeing what problems they are trying to fix that arise in their own country, was inspiring to say the least. In addition, the panels of scientists speaking to us only showed us more how real it is to be a scientist and how real world problems are belng tackled everyday. The thought of solving current issues or even just making people's lives easier is more than inspiring enough to drive me to try as hard as I can in my studies. This fall, I will be attending University of California, Berkeley's College of Chemistry, and I can hardly wait to begin my studies and work in the labs. I hope there, my love of science will only grow.
Kenneth Lee – Palos Verdes Penninsula HS
To put it simply, Intel ISEF 2011 was hands down the greatest experience of my entire life.
While I thought the event was fantastic throughout, I personally enjoyed the pin exchange the most. While the event may just seem to be simply exchanging pins with other kids, it meant more. I wasn't just exchanging materials; I was exchanging language and culture with representatives from other nations, some of which I'd never even heard of before.
This same idea was the main reason why this whole event was special for me. Yes, bowling and partying at Universal Studios would be fun with any of my friends back at home. Doing these same activities with kids from all over the world, however, made these more meaningful than I could have ever imagined. While I can always look back at the fun times I had with other kids, I cannot possibly overlook the dedication of the LA County Science Fair officials and their contributions to making our experience what it was. Mr. Gilbert, Mrs. Weitkamp and Mr. Reuter truly made me feel both informed and comfortable with what was going on at the event. Without their help, I truly could not have had such an extraordinary time, and could not thank them enough for their efforts.
Beyond the awards, the money, the honor, and the recognition, however, ISEF was an amazing celebration of the top scientists from over 65 foreign nations. I've never been so in awe of science, and I've never been more excited to further explore what it has to offer.
I really hope I get the opportunity to attend again next year. But it not, I can walk away a more than satisfied young man with many invaluable experiences from ISEF 2011.
Kathleen Maguire – Marlborough School
My week at ISEF and my involvement in the L.A. County Science and State Science Fairs will be the highlights of my high school career. Participating in research deepened my understanding of the science I learned in the classroom, helped me determine what career I want to pursue as an adult and allowed me to learn how to work in a professional setting while still in high school, I have loved participating in the recent science fairs because it gave me a chance to showcase work to which I have dedicated so much time. Judging during the fairs was not intimidating, rather it was enjoyable because it gave me the opportunity to explain my work to others in my field, individuals who appreciated and understood the importance of my work. The feedback the judges offered will be useful as I continue my research.
During my week at ISEF, I met high school students from around the world, ate dinner with researchers who lived on the other side of the globe, and listened to Nobel Laureates. I can never forget the amazing projects I saw or the friends I made. I made clouds in a jar in a hotel room, listened to songs produced from a pair of drum pants, and found myself interested in projects involving spiders despite my fear of them. At the awards ceremony on the final day I knew that I was among researchers who would grow up to cure diseases and win Nobel prizes. Deciding to participate in the Los Angeles County Science Fair was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
Kenny Lei – Walnut HS
It was a life changing opportunity to participate in Intel International Science and Engineering Fair, especially when it was held in Los Angeles. Each experience had been eye-opening and unforgettable.
Attending ISEF was exciting and rewarding for all the hard work I had put into my science research project. As the local host, the Los Angeles Team represented USA on the opening ceremony along with representatives from 65 countries. The experience of meeting other avid students interested in science was enriching and encouraging. I enjoyed interacting with participants from all around the world and exchanging pins with them during the first night. The participants of ISEF who had started out as strangers, but by the end, have become close friends with bonds strong enough to last the long distances and years ahead.
For many years I have known that I wanted to be a scientist, and my own project in robotics and programming, as well as avid involvement in energy conservation across the globe, has given me an enormous passion for computer science research. Nothing, however, quite compares to the experience at ISEF. The format of the ISEF permitted me exposure to student research in virtually every discipline in science and engineering. I walked away from each poster impressed not only by what I had learned, but what I had been exposed to. I suspect that few scientists have the privilege of such interdisciplinary exposure, particularly at such a young age. I was taught that research was enormously rewarding and that bold ideas were an essential element of good science.
While ISEF has brought all the serious and dedicated young scientists together, there were also opportunities for us to enjoy ourselves and simply have fun. This was best exemplified in our trip to the Universal Studio and LA Live attractions after we presented our projects to a wide audience. It was well deserved fun time with newly met friends.
While it was very exciting for me to be presented the Excellence Award from U.S. Army at ISEF Special Award Ceremony, it was the people I met, the lessons I learned, and the new perspective I formed that made ISEF an unforgettable part of my life.
It has been such an honor to be a part of ISEF 2011 and I want to thank L.A. County Science Fair for making this opportunity possible. The experience has confirmed my interest in science and has inspired me to pursue a career in computer research beyond college. I cannot wait to represent Los Angeles County Science Fair again next May in Pittsburgh!
Adrienne McColl – San Pedro HS
Participating in the L.A. County Science Fair was one of the best decisions I made during my high school career. Not only did it give me further opportunity to participate in higher level science and engineering fairs, it gave me the chance to meet so many awesome people who also are interested in science. Many of them are now very close friends of mine! It is a ton of fun and also helps develop professional skills. Science Fair encouraged me to pursue my interests with intentions of changing the world. It's not impossible! I would highly recommend participation in science fair at any and all levels. I plan to continue my involvement by volunteering for Intel ISEF in 2012 and, time permitting, the following years.
Manu Vaish – Palos Verdes Penninsula HS
My experience at Intel ISEF was one of the best weeks I have ever had. Although I came in expecting a normal science fair, I was exposed to something much more. It was like taking a vacation to one of the nicest areas in the world, even though it was in my own backyard.
The most rewarding part of this journey, however, was not the massive amounts of free food (although that was a large plus) but instead, meeting all the other scientific minds of my generation. Luckily for me, I was able to bond with a student from Puerto Rico who strangely enough was working on the same species of jellyfish and the same organ. Through our shared enjoyment in jellyfish anatomy we were able to create a friendship that transcended our language barriers. Although we were unable to communicate about everyday life, we had no issue discussing whether the rhopalia of the jellyfish could discriminate color or not.
Overall, taking part in ISEF has given me the opportunity to make friends from every portion of the globe and these friends are not just ordinary friends, for each and everyone of them will rise to become the future leaders in their respective countries.
Finally, I would like to thank L.A. County (Science Fair) for providing me with this amazing experience to just be able to attend, for it has made a profound impact on expanding my scientific view of the world. Also I would like to thank everybody on the L.A. County team for making this experience so easy to enjoy with all their commitment to making sure everything moved smoothly.

"RE: Is it time for a new camera?"
Hi, A few months ago i "upgraded" my D90 to an used D700 (real good price with only 8K clicks), but not because i needed but because i want/could.I'm keeping the D90 as my second body and i'm using it in a week basis, and planning to keep it "forever".Though my D700 is a new league, my D90 is much more of a camera than i am a photographer. When i want to travel light, and i travel a lot (being a airline pilot), i only take my D90 with my DX lenses 16-85 (or 10-24) and 35 1.8. Never regret to have that combo while traveling.José Nikonians!!! My best investment made after my camera!!!D700, D90, F80, F Photomic FTn

Conversations On Craft: Mending
A panel discussion investigating the iconoclastic undercurrents within making-based creativity, featuring artists and educators Jovencio de la Paz, Rock Hushka, Mark Newport and Tali Weinberg
Saturday, November 14, 3 pm
Oregon College of Art and Craft
Vollum Building
8245 SW Barnes Rd
Portland, OR 97225

Portland, OR – The Oregon College of Art and Craft's MFA in Craft presents Conversation on Craft: Mending, a panel discussion investigating the iconoclastic undercurrents within making-based creativity, featuring artists and educators Jovencio de la Paz, Rock Hushka, Mark Newport and Tali Weinberg.
To mend is to repair, to correct, and to improve. Historically this was a common practice of making greater use of the objects in our lives. In recent years, however, mending, repair, and patching has become a political act of anti-consumerism by sustaining an object beyond its obsolescence and a declaration of individuality by opening an opportunity to hack, modify, decorate, connect, and take ownership.
Conversations on Craft: Mending, hosted by the Oregon College of Art and Craft's MFA in Craft and the Fibers Department, will bring together these distinct mending concepts through a discussion with artists and educators Jovencio de la Paz, Rock Hushka, Mark Newport, and Tali Weinberg. Together, with moderator Emily Nachison, they will establish an open dialog concerning the metaphorical, figurative, and formal process of mending in contemporary craft, fiber, and art.
Emily Nachison, is the Department Head of Fibers at the Oregon College of Art and Craft. She received a MFA in Fiber from Cranbrook Academy of Art and a BFA in Fiber from the Maryland Institute College of Art. Nachison's work has been widely exhibited across the country, including numerous solo exhibitions most recently at Bullseye Projects in Portland.
Jovencio de la Paz's works in the realm of performance, physicality, materiality, collaboration and socially engaged practices. Co-founder of the collaborative group Craft Mystery Cult, he is currently the Fiber Area Head at the University of Oregon, Eugene.
Rock Hushka is an artist, curator and art historian whose embroideries recreate motifs from late medieval and early Renaissance textiles, evoking a set of cultural beliefs that illuminate the complex interactions in our own time. Hushka is the Chief Curator of the Tacoma Arts Museum, Washington.
Mark Newport, an artist and educator, is known for his hand knit hero costumes. Newport's work combines the projection of a super-heroic, ultra-masculine identity and more vulnerable personas. Newport is the Artist-in-Residence and Head of Fiber at the Cranbrook Academy of Art in Michigan.
Tali Weinberg fuses text and textiles to address gender violence, the housing crisis, climate change, labor exploitation, and other traumas and insecurities that are experienced as both social and personal. Weinberg lives in Berkeley, California, where she is the Director of the American Textile Society.
Conversations on Craft is a forum addressing the skill and art of creativity. Focused on a making space, the intention is to incite discourse and exercise motivations, aspirations, even prejudices that surround Contemporary Craft, particularly Craft's persistent presence in a contemporary culture suspicious of labored beauty and material literacy.
The MFA in Craft: Practice and Innovation at OCAC provides a broad and intensive environment for the understanding and advanced studio application crossing the material areas of Book Arts, Ceramics, Drawing and Painting, Fibers, Metals, Photography, and Wood.

Dana Schutz combines fantasy and reality, humor and horror, to create figurative paintings that abount with expressionist energy. Her distinctive visual style is characterized by vibrant color and raw and tactile brushwork. Schutz's subjects spring from an absurdist sensibility as she invents imaginary stories or hypothetical situations that are bizarre and impossible, yet oddly compelling.
Ryan Johnson lives and works in New York and was born in Karachi, Pakistan in 1978. He received an MFA from Columbia University in 2003. His large mixed media sculptures explore psychological and imaginative narratives. His works have been shown in Italy, Luxembourg and New York.
Aaron Rose

Tiger Woods Center | Nike Campus | 1 Bowerman Drive | 7pm
Aaron Rose is an artist, writer, musician, film director and independent curator currently living in Los Angeles. For ten years he was owner/director of the Alleged Gallery in New York, home to artists such as Shepard Fairey, Ed Templeton, Mike Mills, Barry McGee, Margaret Kilgallen, and more. He branded these artists as "Beautiful Losers" in a museum exhibit, a book, and then the 2008 film. Since then, Rose has been working as a freelance curator, choosing artists for the Undefeated Billboard Project, a public art project in Los Angeles produced in conjunction with Nike. Rose is also represented by the Directors Bureau in Los Angeles and collaborates with advertising agency Wieden + Kennedy.
Make Something began as a series of workshops for teens and comes at a crucial time when fine arts budgets for public schools are as Rose puts it, "slashed to hell." Rooted in skateboarding, graffiti, hip-hop, and punk-rock culture, the workshops bring art to students in a contemporary way. The workshops have taught over 2,000 students in New York, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, and Tokyo. Rose hopes that the D.I.Y. lessons from the workshops spur an inventive way of thinking that can be applied to all situations in life.
Despite his lengthy list of achievements, Rose says, "I can probably say that teaching is quite possibly the most important work I've done."

A conjunction of the words 'Slap' and 'Happy'. Normally used together, meaning uncontrollably hyper, and having random outbursts of laughter. You normally pee yourself when your in this mood, and it occurs a lot before you retire to your bed. Meaning, if you get 'slappy', you will crash in approximately 10 minutes.

The 2012 SEC Spring meetings begin today at the Sandestin Hilton in Destin, Florida One of the topics this week will be the future schedule format for football.
Over the weekend, SEC schedule guru and consultant Larry Templeton indicated that the conference will likely go with the 6-1-1 format. This format means each team plays six divisional games, one permanent cross-division opponent and one rotating cross-division team.
The 6-1-1 model is what the SEC is using in 2012 after expanding to add Missouri and Texas A&M.
"I've been around this (SEC) group enough to know that when they get together for four days there's a lot of things that change from Tuesday to Friday," Templeton said, chuckling. "But I wouldn't look for a lot of change in the permanents if truly the 6-1-1 is what we end up with."
The 6-1-1 format allows for historical rivalries to continue, such as Auburn-Georgia and Alabama-Tennessee. But this model also means it will take 12 years for each team to play every team from the opposite division, compared to only five years under the old 5-1-2.
Another option for the 6-1-1 format is to play each team from the other division in succession, rather than playing one team home-and-home and then moving to the next team. In that scenario, each SEC team could play all of the other teams in the opposite division in six years rather than twelve.
The SEC should also set the permanent cross-division rivals this week. Based on comments made back in March, Arkansas will partner with Missouri while South Carolina will pair with Texas A&M. If that holds true, here is what the seven cross-division pairings will look like (East – West):
After the 6-1-1 format and permanent cross-division rivals are agreed upon, Templeton needs to know how many years he can schedule that format. That could range anywhere from one to 13 years.
If the SEC does release a scheduling format for future seasons, we expect it to list the opponents for each year but not the dates. That is how the conference has historically released their football scheduling information.
So Florida will play Alabama (as one example) once every 6 years. Or to look at it another way, Florida will visit Tuscaloosa once every 12 years.
Also I agree with Kro, are better long term matchups.
Mizzou-A&M would be better in my opinion. A&M has about as much in common with SC that Arkansas does, except both of them entered the SEC 20 years ago. A&M-Mizzou makes sense to me since they are both entering the SEC at the same time and both came from the Big 12.
SC is not an obvious match for either Arky or A&M. Mizzou borders Arky so that makes the most sense. Everyone else wants to keep their partners.
Haha. SEC still hides behind an 8 game schedule despite softening up their conference with Mizzou & Aggie. Meanwhile, everyone else heads towards 9 conference games. Can't wait for more Mizzou v Florida & less Bama v Florida. Should be awesome!
The Dude is right on. The SEC continues to hide from the tougher non conference opponents and pads their conference schedule with an eight league schedule. Hard to give The SEC much love with their approach.
Let's see…Alabama vs. Michigan, Ole Miss vs. Texas, LSU vs. Washington, Auburn vs. Clemson, Florida vs. Florida State, Georgia vs. Georgia Tech, S. Carolina vs. Clemson, Tennessee vs. NC State and even Vandy vs. Northwestern and Wake Forest. What is the SEC hiding from again??
Theyre Hiding from a full schedule. B12, P12, & soon ACC already play 9 conference games AND meaningful ooc games as well.
Hey, when was the last time Florida played an ooc game outside their state? 1990? 1991? Keep loading up on patsies, avoiding conference losses, and be sure to play 99% of your ooc & bowl games in the deep south.
Don't forget to oversign and hand out 35 scholarships this offseason before kicking out the 20 who underperform so you can sign 35 more next offseason. The rest of us will continue to play within the limits & decency of the rules. S-E-C! S-E-C! LMFAO.
Bill, Really…. This is the best a conference of 14 teams can pull up to test themselves? The SEC plays 56 non-conference games and only 8 are being played at their opponents home field. I know it's all about the money, but don't kid yourself in thinking The SEC is not hiding. The majority of the conference's schedule is made-up of opponents such as; Buffalo, Georgia Southern and State, Presbyterian, Wofford, Samford, Jacksonville State, Idaho, Towson, Southern Alabama, Sam Houston State, South Carolina State, Central Arkansas, South Alabama, and Alabama A&M to name a few. LSU and Alabama are truely the only schools that continue to test themselves to some degree outside the conference. I agree with The Dude and Chuck, The SEC can do better and maybe having a 9 game conference schedule may show more of what is within the conference.
Wait'll they go to 16 teams. Some cross-division teams will never play unless it's in the SEC championship.
Jeff B, I didn't list Missouri vs. Ariz. State and Syracuse (since you want to talk all 14 teams)or the fact that TAMU and Arkansas signed a 10 year series (at Jerryworld) but now play in the same conference so on short notice Ark picked up Rutgers, not great but BCS conference. As for all of those 1-AA schools (FCS) pretty much every team in a BCS conference has gone to at least one per season so putting that all on the SEC is weak. Also, if you look at the Sun-Belt schedules, there are more than just SEC teams on there. Look, I'm no fan at all of the 1-AA games. But the regular 8 game SEC schedule is tougher than 9 in the ACC for instance.
Hey, Dude. Check your rules. SEC only allows 25 offers per class now. New rule. Also, they only allowed 28 for about the last 3-4 years prior. As for the bowl games, we play them where they are. I guess playing a January bowl game in Orlando or New Orleans just has a slight appeal over Bismark or St. Paul.
It's a new rule. In 3 more years it'll begin to have an effect.
Go look at Houston Nutts signing class at Ole Miss.
Go look at how Saban put players on medical scholarships at 3-4 times the national rate in order to clear room for his next "stud recruit". Signing 25-28 players every year means you're cutting the "misses" somewhere because you can't hold 100-112 scholarship players.
Just more dirty dealing in the SEC.
Glad to see the Hogs-Mizzou Match-Up. Glad to see all the bordering state games Arkansas has in the SEC West. Concerning all the above statements about the current 8 game SEC Schedule. Most SEC Teams have their remaining 4 games contracted through the 2016 season. It would be extremely costly to break any of those contracts. I think the SEC will go to 9 games soon. I don't think SEC Teams dodge anybody. You out of conference gooses keep dreaming that.
No Dude, Bill is exactly right. The Rule was nicknamed the Nutt Rule around the SEC. Three or Four years ago it was ruled a strict limit of 28 Signed allowing for 3 possible none academic qualifiers. That Rule was strengthen to a strict 25 Signed with no allowance for NAQ's for the last February 2012 Class.
Me rule will have an effect going forward. It doesn't change that over signing and cutting scholarship players greatly helped the SEC.
In an era where you're only allowed 85 scholarships at any one time from 2008-2011 these were the number of SEC scholarships given out.
Ole Miss – 120
Auburn – 113
Arkansas – 111
Alabama -107
South Carolina – 106
Miss State – 102
Kentucky – 99
Tennessee – 91
Georgia – 88
Vanderbilt – 84
Florida – 85
Highlights include signing classes of Arkansas-30 & S.Carolina-32 in 2011. Auburn-32 in 2010. Arkansas-31 & Ole Miss-37 in 2009, Alabama-32 & Ole Miss-31 in 2008.
This means a team like Auburn had to clear out about 7 players with eligibility left per year to make room. Or about 25% of their average signing class needed to be disposed of early.
Color me skeptical of the SEC & it's 25 player "limit" rule.

The attack on the tunnels used to smuggle goods and weapons over the border between the Gaza Strip and Egypt, caused panic in the town of Rafah.
The renewed hostilities came hours before George Mitchell, America's new Middle East envoy was due to arrive in Israel. The country's senior security cabinet was due to convene before his arrival to decide on further measures.
A video released on radical websites showed a remote-control roadside explosion was part of a complex attack in which gunmen opened fire on soldiers that responded to the attack. Three other members of the Israeli squad patrolling the border were injured.
Israeli officials said intelligence services coordinated an aerial strike on an al-Qaeda affiliated terrorist, Hussein Abu-Shamaya, who was moving away from the scene on Tuesday.
A Palestinian farmer was killed in exchanges of fire after the attack.
Israeli tanks and helicopters re-entered Gaza, casting doubt on the ten-day ceasefire that had held as talks involving Israel and Hamas took place in Egypt.
Separately it was revealed that the US Navy had released a boat it had detained in the Red Sea on suspicion of carrying Iranian arms to Hamas-ruled Gaza.
The Cypriot-flagged vessel was reported to be carrying artillery shells and other weapons when it was intercepted a week ago. The US and European navies have agreed to help Israel prevent the flow of arms to Hamas but Admiral Mike Mullen, the head of the US military, said the arrangement needed UN legal backing.

Why was the Arab News headline "An Israeli conspiracy that never existed" so surprising? Because of garbage like this from president of Yemen:
Yemen's president, Ali Abdullah Saleh, blamed Israel for planning and funding protests in several Arab states.
"There is an operations rooms in Tel Aviv with the aim of destabilizing the Arab world," Saleh reportedly said Tuesday during a speech at Sanaa University, adding that the operations room is "run by the White House."
"The wave of political unrest sweeping across the Arab world is a conspiracy that serves Israel and the Zionists," he also said.
Yemen has been the site of anti-regime protests for the past two weeks—one of several Arab countries in which protesters have attempted or succeeded in deposing their rulers.
Saleh, who has ruled Yemen for 32 years, has rejected calls to step down.

Army wary of American in Patriot men's hoops quarterfinals
WEST POINT — Army coach Zach Spiker said he doesn't put a lot of stock in regular-season games, so he's not about to draw any conclusions from his Black Knights sweeping American twice already.
Fourth-seeded Army (15-14) will host fifth-seed American (10-19) in a Patriot League men's basketball quarterfinal on Wednesday night.
"When you look at that program,'' Spiker said of the Eagles and coach Jeff Jones, "and the size that they have and the ability that they have and what they have done throughout the season, I think it's a very dangerous team, when you mix in the fact that coach Jones is leading them. ... This team will be very prepared for us.''
Jones said Army "clearly outplayed us and they were able to wear us down" when the teams met previously — the Black Knights won 77-64 on Jan. 26 at West Point and 72-58 on Feb. 23 in Washington. Army shot better than 51 percent in both wins and combined for 22 3-pointers.
"We are hoping to somehow come up with an effort and find some wrinkles to slow them down,'' Jones said. "They are an impressive team. Zach has done a great job with a group of talented, young players and getting them to buy into the style that they have been playing this year. We are really excited to have another opportunity.''
Jones, in his 13th season, has led American to five Patriot League title games and two championships. Army has yet to win a playoff game under Spiker (0-3), but this appears to be a different team.
Army's Kyle Wilson, the rookie of the year, averaged 17 points in the two meetings and first-team all-star Ella Ellis averaged 13.5.
For American, second-team all-star Stephen Lumpkins, a senior forward, had 21 points in the first outing and only 10 in the second. Point guard Daniel Munoz has 21 points, 10 assists and 70 minutes played in the two games. The Eagles go 6-foot-10, 6-8, 6-5 and 6-5 among its starting forwards.
Notes — Army has won six of its last seven and American has dropped four in a row. ... Army has lost all four previous playoff meetings with American. ... Army hasn't beaten a team three times in one season since Fordham in 1986-87.

Abraham Lincoln's Voice
By Stephanie Ciccarelli
November 7, 2012
Actor Daniel Day-Lewis is giving voice to one of America's greatest presidents, Abraham Lincoln.
According to many sources, Day-Lewis' interpretation of Lincoln, from head to toe, is astoundingly accurate, including the presentation and register of Lincoln's voice.
A far cry from our culture's perception of the man known more for his words than anything else, Lincoln's voice is a classic example of how it's not about the voice but how you use it.
Learn more in today's VOX Daily.
Honest Abe
What did Abraham Lincoln sound like?
According to voice actor, Joe J. Thomas (pictured at left), most people have a preconceived notion of what Abraham Lincoln sounded like based upon Disney films and animatronics.
Historically, Lincoln's voice was described as "shrill, squeaking, piping, unpleasant," which is a far cry from the baritone statesman we've come to expect.
When accurately creating a voice for someone like Abraham Lincoln, you need to go back to historical archives and firsthand accounts.
Lincoln, which was scheduled to open in theatres around election time, was postponed by Steven Spielberg and will be widely released on November 16, 2012.

Does Daniel Day-Lewis' performance reflect the Lincoln you were expecting to hear? Do you plan to see the film? Let me know!
Looking forward to hearing from you!

You can be absolutely certain that no one on the planet knows more about Abraham Lincoln now than Daniel Day-Lewis. You can be certain that what you see and hear onscreen is as close to seeing the real Lincoln as humanly possible today. Having the privilege to see him on and off set, he is as Lincoln was. As a matter of fact, even though filming wrapped almost a year ago, and he is home, he is probably STILL Abraham Lincoln.Posted by:
I agree with Bob, though it was certainly disconcerting to hear at first. I think it might be initially off-putting for a lot of viewers, but I'm certain that as the movie goes along, DDL's performance and Spielberg's filmmaking will do away with any complaints of that nature.Posted by:
My recollections of "hearing" Lincoln's voice go back to when I heard Copeland's "A Lincoln Portrait" for the first time, when Charlton Heston was the narrator. (Now, there WAS a voice!) This great work has been performed by many great orchestras over the years. Narrators have included James Earl Jones, the statesman Adlai Stevenson and others whom I can't recall. The most unusual narrator for this work was when it was recorded by Erich Kunzel and the Cincinnati Pops and they chose Katherine Hepburn. She was very elderly at that time and, while her narration sounded quite frail, she still conveyed the majesty of Lincoln's wordsPosted by:
Oh yes! Spielberg and Daniel Day-Lewis? I'm in!Posted by:
Day-Lewis is one of the most amazing actors of this, or any age. The man spends so much time in research that he very nearly becomes the character he portrays. He spent weeks with linguists to perfect Bill the Butcher's unique accent in Gangs of New York. Everything I have read about Mr. Lincoln (my favorite figure of American history) tells me that Daniel has nailed it again.Posted by:

It's hard to find a place more visually stunning or seemingly untouched than Patagonia, the region in the Southern Andes shared by Argentina and Chile. Home to the world's third largest ice field, after Greenland and Antarctica, as well as staggering peaks and some of the most brilliant scenery on Earth, Patagonia is the ultimate adventurer's paradise.
Though the mountains in Patagonia are not nearly as tall as their Himalayan counter parts, they are world renowned for their sheer faces, and are considered some of the most technically challenging mountains to climb in the world. If you're not ready to rope up and give those a shot, don't worry, you can still enjoy their majestic beauty as you hike through some of the region's more friendly trails.  As you hike your way to Lakes Torre and Capri, you will understand why the region is famed for its vistas as you come face to face with the regions two tallest peaks, Cerro Torre and Fitz Roy. At 10,262 and 11,168 feet tall, respectively, it's easy to see why these giants have gained their reputations.
Another geographical feature which Patagonia is famous for are its ice fields. The Perito Moreno Glacier, a 97 square mile ice formation in the Los Glaciares National Park is particularly well-known. Perito Moreno is the world's thirds largest reserve of fresh water, and one of one of the few glaciers in the world that is actually growing. It is "fed†by the Los Glaciares ice cap, which feeds 46 other glaciers, as well, and makes up the National Park. In order to truly get a feel for the glacier's awesomeness, make sure you trek your way across it, allowing you to get up close and personal with its surreal peaks and neon blue crevasses.
It's impossible to visit Patagonia and not be inspired, whether by the landscape, by what you've accomplished, or by what you've discovered. Make sure you bring your camera and your sense of adventure, because it'll be the trip of a lifetime!
Hope to see you there!

Fire safety expert calls for sprinkler system law
Published by Anonymous for 24dash.com in Health and also in Housing, Regulation
An independent fire safety expert has predicted that a combination of a new sprinkler law and an increased focus on enforcement could cut fire deaths by more than half overnight.
Safety Management UK (SMUK) is campaigning for a change in the law to make it compulsory for all high-rise flats and care homes to install life-saving sprinkler systems.
Former firefighter Brian Gregory, managing director of SMUK, said further action was still needed, following the release of the latest government statistics showing a fall in the number of fire deaths.
This was pulled into sharp focus just last week when landlord Amarjit Singh was fined in excess of £10,000 by Ealing Magistrates' Court for allowing his tenants to live in a house that was unsafe and overcrowded.
The house of multiple occupancy in Southall, west London, had damaged fire doors and no working smoke alarm on the premises.
Mr Gregory said: "This demonstrates the importance of why fire crews should utilise the extra time they now have because emergency call outs are falling to carry out a hard-hitting campaign of enforcement checks to ensure people comply with the regulations."
The latest government figures show there were 140 fire fatalities in England in the six months from April to September 2013 - 33% lower than in the same period of 2003 and lower than any other year apart from 2012 and 2008.
The statistics from the Department for Communities and Local Government also show that fire and rescue services attended 102,000 fires between April and September last year – 55% fewer than in the same period of 2002.
Mr Gregory added: "These figures are to be welcomed and they show the great strides that have been made in fire safety, risk assessment and awareness over the past decade.
"But we still have some way to go. We believe now is the time for the Government to act on sprinklers to ensure that we keep driving the number of deaths lower and lower.
"Sprinkler systems are a life-saver. They won't put a fire out, but they will stop it from spreading. They buy time and for elderly or infirm people that can be vitally important.
"The UK has detailed and stringent regulations with regard to fire alarms and fire separation requirements. We want to see regulations for sprinkler systems added to this.
"That way, the 140 deaths a year we currently have would be cut by more than half virtually overnight."

We gladly take on David Weisbach and Jane Milne's challenge to focus on the international dimension. David argues that a tax dominates on this count. We strongly disagree. A cap-and-trade system allows for the creation of a global carbon market.
Any system clearly needs to be well-designed. On that point, we all agree. The question then becomes whether a cap-and-trade system or a tax would allow for the best possible system to be put in place. We've already argued that a cap would be much more preferable on environmental grounds.
Cap and trade sometimes seems like the Rodney Dangerfield of environmental policies: It's popular with the masses (or in this case both presidential candidates, members of Congress, major environmental advocacy groups, and the private sector) but gets no respect from most academic economists and

Don't even stop Lyrics by Too Short
Don't even stop by Too Short
I'm the young emcee that don't rap too long
Everytime I spit a rap is a brand new song
Always coming that fresh is so cold
You wouldn't have time to look at my world
'cause you be dancing to the beat having a ball
Then I'll tell you to give me a call
I'm Too $hort baby I always say
When I'm rapping to the beat I don't play
I'm on the up and up so for real
Rapping that rap realer way real
Working that suckers everyday striving to be hard
Stacked with bean pies in the back of the car
Playing Too $hort in your stereo
I couldn't even hear your radio
'cause just can't quit it short done took it
Found it like a tag ain't nothing but amusing
Just being short you think I'm small
But eye to eye I stand too tall
I make not make sense but I make mail
The beat don't stop and I just can't
Keep on going and I just won't stop
Too $hort over don't even stop
That's how I am that's how I jam
Just don't stop rapping when I regress
Being a rapper ain't everything
They madder now lost they change
On the short watch the cops say let's got
Raps to raps rocks to rhyme
So many raps all the time
Making raps everyday and still can see
The dope with a ride won't come to me
I spit raps every week of the year
Rapping on the mic just screaming snitch
My homie T rocks came hit me up
Went in the studio came hitting it up
Always catching the flash out of the cap
No hoes it's all straight rap
No breaks no fakes just straight man T
And I always know what to do
The girl the other day just block up
Too $hort baby might just walk up
To me and she had to act Too $hort sews the rap
When I told baby all yes I am
We were walking down the street holding them
She said Too $hort spit that rhyme
And next thing you know that freak was mine
Girls going wild seeing female funk
Riding in the cut just hugging the back
Call me short and the girls I play
Love Too $hort when you hear me say
Girl that's your life
Girl why you smoking that hype
To the girls girls all the girls
Real long hair or short curls
Here's to you a special toast
Its all about you 'cause I'm the most
If you hold it down let me hear you rap
Fresh to the beat don't even stop
Everybody on the mic or the floor say Too $hort
Suckers don't know that rapping game
Spitting on the mic can't even hang
With these sucker emcees every check
Rapping like this they will soon begin to realize
That rap is made to be tamed and ticked rush released
To the rap fans that can do like this
Just rock to the beat don't fade that sh*t
You probably wonder about rapping what does it mean
To thing with wondering things
Spending fresh leather what does it seat
Got a bright color you know it's cheap
Not loud enough to make an elephant speak
Put them to your homeboy mack
I'm all about rapping but it ain't like that
You better tell your homeboy don't make me laugh
I'm the too s.h.o.r.t. I don't rap wacks
I'm a too emcee all you sucker rappers hanging with me
Its a shame 'cause in the bay they won't let it be
Keep on lying and see what happens
Too $hort baby just won't stop rapping
All I can do is just keep smacking
'cause Too $hort baby just won't stop rapping
Yes tip roll the strip
I'm going to take your mind on a serious trip
Like a video like I'm tight hoes
Girls just rolling like leave me alone
Even though I'm on my back still let me in
If I did it to the front I'm a do it again
Sir Too $hort won't even stop don't stop
I'm here to stay 'cause I'm so cold
Riding round town dripped in fold
I'm the laughing man laughing all night long
Got freaks out there freaking to my song
Couldn't put backstabbing thevies to work
I'm putting biching emcees to the whole earth
Spitting them tenders on a wild goose chase
Up in the hills making my place
Getting raps getting traps found and clowned
Everytime you see short baby you get down
'cause the raps I make are the raps you like
The way Too $hort rocks the mic
This one of a kind rapping style
Had the freaks in the back just going wild
When I spit that line what's the deal
b**ch b**ch b**ch make me rich
I have such a good mannered mind
Sometimes I might make dirty rhymes
But these are just some dirty times out fresh

Anthony, what I liked about Ireland was the fact he managed to do both jobs so well last night. He seemed to break up so many attacks but also laid on chances for the strikers. Doesn't seem to run out of steam either, was still charging about at the end.Just seen Spurs gols on BBC 24 News, nice to see Bent's runs and Hudd finding them. As well as Hudd's great strike. Coys
I'm not deniying that hes a good player who would slot in the team, just feel that we have more chance for Diarra who is also the sort of player we could really do with. Also its all going to come down to money with a player like Ireland as hes not one of those loyal players who will join a team because of history etc, remember when he lied about his nan dying cos he didn't want to play for Ireland? wouldn't really want a player like that at spurs!

Paths to success: Dallas-Fort Worth planners see economic pluses of pedestrians
North Texas suburbs may have the open spaces perfect for building jogging and biking trails, but it's city paths running alongside dense developments or urban bodies of water that apparently draw more pedestrians and cyclists.
Armed with a first-of-its-kind collection of data about Dallas-Fort Worth walking and biking trails, regional planners this month unveiled an emerging picture about which paths see the most use.
"If there's a restaurant or a food truck or anything related to food, those seem to be the locations where we see the most counts," said Karla Weaver, a program manager for the North Central Texas Council of Governments.
That planning agency last year used data from 26 mechanical counters in five cities to begin understanding where and when walkers, runners and bikers use trails. The agency wants to keep collecting data from additional spots so planners don't have to rely on anecdotal evidence about trips North Texans make without a vehicle.
The idea is to provide better information to city officials and regional leaders who hold the purse strings for infrastructure projects. But Weaver said her agency is also beginning to study the land use around such trails to see what correlations there are between population density, economic development and path usage.
It's a step in a different direction for an agency most known for helping highway planners predict future traffic patterns.
"We've been counting cars for decades," Weaver said. Continue reading

Their final bill was 250% of the estimate - about $3500 instead of about $1400 - the bill was presented to me after they had loaded everything and the driver had informed me neither they nor I could get to my things. I TWICE reviewed piece by piece, in detail, everything in my apartment with them AND additionally the driver walked through my apartment and saw everything before he started packing and only said "you might be a little over". They (see below) refused to explain their low ball bid (except "you had a few more things") or why they billed 250% more after they had already reviewed the contents of my apartment three times with consistent estimates of 1300-1400 or "a little more"! On the day of the move the mover was saying one thing, and the salesman, who'd said and written something completely different, would not take my calls ("So sorry, I'm busy, I'll call you right back" and never did)
They couldn't account for specifically the materials they billed me for ("we used about 15 rolls (of tape), at 5$ apiece" "How many exactly?" "Oh, I'd say about 15"). They promised to take furniture apart and put it back together on arrival. The mover didn't even have a screw driver and said "oh, we can't do that". I had to pack many of my own boxes, but got charged as if they had packed them (since they charge by each of the boxes they use, and incorporate their labor charges ["there are no labor charges"] into the cost of each box they OR YOU use). The shipment arrived 7 days after the original estimated arrival, and several days after subsequent arrival estimations.
Worst of all, after they got their first 70% (the day of the move), nobody NOBODY would return my calls or take responsibility for anything they had said or written.
I was given the phone numbers of two different drivers who each assured me they had my load. When my things arrived there was only the driver, no other help, so I carried everything except the mattress from the truck(even though I am legally defined as medically disabled).
I have pages of notes made when I called these characters these characters from the road while I was driving, a summary of which I emailed to the owner "Mike" who in my one conversation with him (when he was calling to get his money) didn't refute them, nor apologize for the NIGHTMARE they outline. I talked to "Harold", the salesman, who's own oral and written statements confirmed the amount of cubic feet estimated and that all furniture would be "disassembled and reassembled" but who later said he couldn't do anything to correct my bill, but his supervisor would call me (didn't call). I talked to "Sam the dispatcher" who gave self conflicting stories and explanations, and contradicted "Harold" and never called me back as promised. I talked to "Michelle" who described herself as an "assistant to the owner" but who "Harold" said was "just a secretary" who said 'the owner will call you" and never did until I stopped payment on the check. I talked to "Joe/John" of the "legal department" that quickly became only a "collections department" when I explained it looked like we were heading for litigation, and asked "what attorney is in charge of your legal department", who also never called me back and also gave contradictory accounts, etc.
I finally had to put a stop payment on the check and consult my lawyer and government agencies before anyone from the company would call me back (it was only the stop payment on the check that did it, since government has very little power or seemingly will to help). The final bill was 250% of the estimate, which I PAID JUST TO GET MY STUFF BACK as quickly as possible (I had planned on keeping it in storage with them, but when no one would return my calls, I found an address to ship it to, just to see if I'd ever see my things again then had to pay for a rental truck (300$ more) and move it all myself to my new address when I actually got my actual new residence). As it is I am missing furniture and have a nice box of smased dishes. ("fully insured" they claim orally and in writing, but only at 60 cents per pound, and the first driver said the company refused to provide any other insurance) I could go on and on (such as the apparently illegal soliciting of tips)...but the upshot is I can only conclude the many misrepresentations were intentional and that is quite a bit more serious than mere incompetence.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Authorities say they have re-arrested a man who was ordered to stay away from the home of Selena Gomez.
Los Angeles County sheriff's deputies said they arrested 20-year-old Che Cruz on Friday after he was spotted near the home in suburban Calabasas.
Cruz had been arrested on March 30 on suspicion of trespassing at the home. On Wednesday, he acknowledged trespassing at the home and was sentenced to 45 days in jail and probation.
Jail records show his arrest on Friday came eight hours after Cruz was released from jail after serving seven days in the trespassing case.
Jail records did not indicate whether Cruz had an attorney. He was being held on $20,000 bail.

Packers' bye week could help heal injuries
Green Bay - Green Bay Packers coach Mike McCarthy doesn't even want to hear the words "bye week" uttered inside the team's headquarters until it is indeed the bye week.
The Packers have a game Sunday against the 4-4 Arizona Cardinals at Lambeau Field and he can't afford to limp into the team's midseason break with a loss.
But every player in the locker room knows they'll be getting more days off next week if they win and there's no way McCarthy or the team's medical staff can avoid taking the bye into consideration when it comes to the legal document-sized list of injured players they have.
He and the medical staff are forced to consider holding out injured players this week because of the proximity of the bye. The chance to give a player an extra week to heal an injury is rarely given in the National Football League and you can bet discussions of doing just that are going on behind the scenes all through the league.
On Wednesday, receiver Jordy Nelson (hamstring), fullback John Kuhn (hamstring), cornerback Sam Shields (knee/shin), linebacker Nick Perry (knee), end Mike Neal (ankle) and end Jerel Worthy (concussion) did not take part in practice.
They joined safety Charles Woodson (shoulder) and receiver Greg Jennings (groin), both of whom are dealing with long-term injuries and have already been declared out of the Cardinals game.
All told, that's six starters and two key backups.
McCarthy said Nelson, the team's leader in receiving yards, won't practice Thursday and will be re-evaluated Friday. He was close to being ready last week, so it's possible he's being rested so he can play Sunday without fear of his leg fatiguing quickly.
It's also likely they're just not going to risk playing him this week.
"We'll see if he could potentially do something Friday," McCarthy said.
The offense was definitely affected by Nelson's absence against the Jaguars, and the potential for another poor showing against a better Cardinals defense is incentive to get him back. But much of the talk this week has been about each player taking care of his business so the injuries aren't a factor.
Quarterback Aaron Rodgers made it clear that the backups have to come through this week with so many players down. He used rookie receiver Jarrett Boykin, who has played more because of Nelson's absence, as an example.
"There's an expectation around here that when a guy goes down, the next guy up has got to step in and play well," Rodgers said. "Jarrett's going to get some more opportunities and we feel confident. There's a reason we kept him on the team after training camp; it's because he's going to be a big-time player for us at some point."
Kuhn is in a situation similar to Nelson's. He might be able to work out Friday, but there is no definite plan for him to return.
Shields and Perry, both of whom were hurt against Houston Oct. 14, may be getting close, but it is not clear if they're going to practice this week. Neal, who was hurt Sunday, said he did some running Wednesday and was hopeful of returning to practice, but that's his assessment of things not the medical staff's.
Regardless of his decisions on who is active, McCarthy's public message is about being ready this week not next week.
"I'll tell you, the players have a clear understanding (about) the importance of this game," McCarthy said. "I think we've made the mistake of maybe looking forward to the bye week in the past.
"We're not going to make that mistake this week. Our focus is on the Arizona Cardinals. We made a big point as a staff and as a football team to make sure the urgency is heightened."
Secret weapon
Offensive lineman Evan Dietrich-Smith has lived in anonymity all season, but after taking four snaps as a tight end against Jacksonville, his role has become a big topic of discussion this week.
Dietrich-Smith helped create some room on an otherwise dismal running day for the Packers and he's hoping that his presence is more of a trend than a fad.
"When I get in there I want to make sure they have confidence in me," Dietrich-Smith said. "So by me screwing up a play lowers their confidence, so I've got to do as well as I can.
"And I have a lot of fun doing it. It keeps you in the game. A lot of guys on offense get a kick out of doing it. I hope we keep doing it."
Delay of game
McCarthy said that Jennings was making arrangements to have the groin surgery he was scheduled for on Tuesday but that details were not yet nailed down.
Jennings was to fly to Philadelphia so surgeon William Meyers could repair a tear in a lower abdominal muscle, but the storms out East made it impossible for him to get there. Jennings is trying to get the surgery done this week.
My bad
There stands a pretty good chance that McCarthy will lean on his no-huddle offense more Sunday.
McCarthy said he has been a little too quick to get out of the no-huddle based on circumstances and wants to stick with it longer. Against Jacksonville, in particular, he thought he should have used more no-huddle.
"If there's anything that has held the no-huddle back, I would say it's been me," McCarthy said. "There are certain things that go on during the course of the game, if I don't like it, I probably pull the chain too many times. If I want to be critical of myself after the season, it would be that.
"We have a lot of time, we have a lot of reps committed to the no-huddle."
McCarthy said he still had a lot of confidence in the no-huddle and thinks it is effective.
Getting involved
Tight end Andrew Quarless and linebacker Frank Zombo, both of whom are on the physically unable to perform list, are starting to get practice reps with their regular units after doing scout-team work the last two weeks.
Next Wednesday, the Packers have to decide whether to activate them, put them on injured reserve or release them. They are in the process of proving they're healthy enough to be activated.
"We're working them both," McCarthy said. "That's what we'll be talking about Friday."
