An early winter storm is forecast to pummel a wide swath of eastern states with snow and ice this week, complicating the travel plans of motorists who long to be home for Thanksgiving.
The N.C. Highway Patrol is offering safe driving tips for those who plan to brave the inclement weather. With Winter Storm Boreas tiptoeing eastward, a mixture of rain, sleet, snow and wind is expected to settle on eastern states Tuesday and Wednesday.
Freezing rain and possible ice accumulations are forecast for areas of Henderson County through mid-morning with a 50 percent chance of snow hitting the region on the most popular day of travel Wednesday.
Officers are asking motorists to prepare in advance for the winter driving months.
"Winter brings new obstacles and responsibilities that the motoring public will experience when inclement weather moves into our state. Despite a rather mild winter so far, North Carolina's weather can often change from one day to the next," Patrol spokesman 1st. Sgt. Jeff Gordon said in a news release Monday.
Here are a few simple steps to help keep you on the road and less anxious.
• Avoid travel unless necessary when winter weather is in your area.
• Decrease speed.
• Wear your seatbelt.
Driving considerations
• Leave early; allow more travel time; expect delays.
• Increase distance between vehicles — it takes significantly longer to stop on snow-covered or icy roadways.
• Clear all windows on your vehicle prior to travel. Having unobstructed vision is vital to avoid running off of the road or having a collision.
• Illuminate your vehicle's headlamps.
• Use caution on bridges and overpasses, as they are susceptible to freezing before roadways.
• Avoid using cruise control — cruise can cause the vehicle's wheels to continue turning on a slippery surface when speed needs to be decreased.
Be prepared
• Ensure your vehicle has a full tank of gas in the event you are stranded for an extended period of time.
• Charge your cellphone prior to departure.
• Take a blanket.
• Notify a family member or a friend of your travel plans prior to departure; if your travel is interrupted, someone will know.
Collision information
• Be patient; weather also limits the capabilities and increases the response time of emergency responders; also, keep in mind that they will be experiencing a high volume of requests for service.
• Attempt to move your vehicle out of the roadway if you are involved in a minor, non-injury traffic collision; especially if you are in a dangerous area such as a curve or a blind hill.
• If your vehicle is stranded or wrecked but not in the roadway, attempts to recover your vehicle will have to wait until conditions improve for safety considerations.
To check the status of road conditions, motorists are asked to go to the Department of Transportation's website at www.ncdot.gov/travel/. The public is not advised to dial 911 or the Highway Patrol Communication Centers for road conditions.
However, citizens can contribute to highway safety by reporting erratic drivers to the Highway Patrol by dialing *HP or *47 on their cellphones. Callers will remain anonymous and should give a description of the vehicle, location, direction of travel and license number if possible.
Reach Weaver at firstname.lastname@example.com or 828-694-7867.

Boreham Wood, in the sixth tier of English soccer, lost an FA Cup heartbreaker on Tuesday night at Carlisle United. Afterward, media accounts and photos showed the visitors' locker room to be a mess, including a tea kettle in a urinal, a broken door, and what was reportedly a puddle of urine on the floor. Boreham Wood won't stand for this defamation, and will sue every last one of you that maintains they pissed all over the joint.
"Every one of our players is willing to go to court—everybody," a team spokesman said today, as the team announced plans to pursue legal action against Carlisle. But the real gold is in an official statement on Boreham Wood's website, 1,400 angry, catty, gramatically questionable words about how Carlisle's ground is a dump to begin with. I cannot urge you enough to appreciate it in its complete glory.
But, some highlights.
On the pre-existing conditions in the locker room:
Our observations are that the dressing rooms at Carlisle are simply old and lack investment. In truth they are very shabby as is clearly shown in the pictures they sent and without being disrespectful they were dirty on arrival. However that is not our business and this is nothing that we do not encounter on an occasional basis in the non league world but we can categorically deny any wrong doing. The pathetic picture of a damaged door, appears to show a 60 year old red door or wood panel with a sixpence size hole that looks like it has been damaged in 1970 and the damage was hardly something a boot would do, if that is indeed their suggestion???
(The best official statements have three question marks after a sentence that's not a question.)
On the "urine":
Having been goaded by the Carlisle players, when Carlisle Utd scored there winner and we all accept if you give stick out you also have to take it. The game turned fractious, as witnessed by 1,500 supporters.
Mark Jones our left back, still angry at that treatment at the end of the game, entered our changing room and immediately kicked out at our Juice (plastic urn) container that sat on the floor. The plastic urn was sent flying across the dressing room and the content remains of orange juice was sent across the floor.
On the jackassery of the Carlisle players and management:
Perhaps that story deflects from the poor behaviour and performance of their players and management team. Who were so disparaging to our players over the two games, failed to accept our hospitality at our place and the fact that our players were then left with absolutely no hospitality or food after the game at Brunton Park perhaps says a lot, though the Carlisle players were of course fed..
Five goddamned paragraphs on that goddamned tea pot (a frame-up!):
Finally an old tea pot they say was put in a urinal by ourselves.. Our observations are again simple, that on our arrival back to the changing room at the end of the game. A tea pot full of hot tea had been put by a Carlisle official on a very narrow beveled ledged wall exactly at the point of entry into our shower area.. Why it was put there is anyones guess but we can show the pictorial evidence of the beveled ledge of little more than 4″ wide and put simply it is no place to balance a hot tea pot..
Our medical department told the club during our investigations, that they thought it was an accident waiting to happen. After checking if anybody wanted a cup of tea. Our kit managers were simply asked to empty the tea pot down contents down the shower drain before the boys showered and they then placed the tea pot by the adjacent sink next to the urinals.
That is where it remained until after we left the changing area. After we exited the changing area that evening, not one Carlisle club official made any complaint what so ever to any BWFC club official, not to our Chairman, not to our staff, not to our players and not to our manager, who then all proceeded onto our team coach, very proud of the performance we had put in..
The Carlisle Utd, YTS boys were at this point in our dressing room and shower areas cleaning up, which is apparently all part of their normal duties. It appears by the letter that we have subsequently received from Carlisle Utd the next day. That the local press were then called into this area, the allegations were then made and the subsequent witch hunt orchestrated by Carlisle Utd media man began…
Boreham Wood's lawyers have already begun the litigation process against Carlisle United, and say the only way to head off a lawsuit is "a full unequivocal retraction and written apology" made public. And maybe some replacement orange juice.

Even if you are a seasoned veteran in resistor stripe reading, its still a pain. And you are likely to forget the coding convention if you dont read resistors on a daily basis also.
Wait to you get as old as me and you can't even read the writing without tons of extra lighting and a big magnifying glass. As an aside I always take a resistance measurement on any resistor I use before soldering it into a circuit, trust me It's worth the extra time expended.
Even chips with their part numbers in dark gray on a slightly darker gray background are a pain.
i think the lead lengths on the electrolytics might be for pick and place machines ?
You get one mixed pile of resistors and you are gonna waste your time looking for the one you want especially if you have to de-code the stripes or individually measure the reading.
not the ones we use, caps come on a paper tape and the leads are cut pretty close to that so the machine can use it, and AFAIK the leads are the same length on the tape

You can build a brand any number of ways. Lots of advertising and/or promotion is one way to get name recognition. So is product presentation, like flashy packaging. You could develop a "rock star" image for yourself or your company to be a bit more edgy. But, for long term growth and success, the best way is to make a quality product at a fair price, and that seems to be the approach that Alan Rubin has taken in building the Alec Bradley brand (named for his sons).
I remember the first couple of cigars that we carried from AB, the Occidental Reserve bundles (still in production), and the Trilogy triangularly pressed cigars. I was pleased with both, and looked forward to future products. I became a fan of the Maxx cigars which offer a lot of flavor, larger sizes and a reasonable price. Since then, there has been a string of solid entries from them, and one notable example is the Family Blend.

TACLOBAN, Philippines — Thousands of typhoon survivors swarmed the airport here Tuesday seeking a flight out, but only a few hundred made it, leaving behind a shattered, rain-lashed city short of food and water and littered with countless bodies.
Four days after Typhoon Haiyan struck the eastern Philippines, only a trickle of assistance has made it to affected communities. Authorities estimated the storm killed 10,000 or more across a vast swath of the country. Millions are without shelter or food.
Tacloban, a city of about 220,000 people on Leyte Island, bore the full force of the winds and the tsunami-like storm surges. Most of the city is in ruins, a tangled mess of destroyed houses, cars and trees. Malls, garages and shops have been stripped of food and water by hungry residents.
An initial report by a team from the U.S. Agency for International Development suggested that 90 percent of the housing in Leyte province has been significantly damaged or destroyed.
Just after dawn Tuesday, two Philippine Air Force C-130s arrived at its destroyed airport along with several commercial and private flights. More than 3,000 people who camped out at the building surged onto the tarmac past a broken iron fence to get on the aircraft. Just a dozen soldiers and several police held them back.
Mothers raised their babies high above their heads in the rain, in hopes of being prioritized. One woman in her 30s lay on a stretcher, shaking uncontrollably. Only a small number managed to board.
"I was pleading with the soldiers. I was kneeling and begging because I have diabetes," said Helen Cordial, whose house was destroyed in the storm. "Do they want me to die in this airport? They are stone-hearted."
Most residents spent Monday night under pouring rain wherever they could — in the ruins of destroyed houses, in the open along roadsides and shredded trees. Some slept under tents brought in by the government or relief groups.
Local doctors said they were desperate for medicines.
International aid groups and militaries are rushing assistance to the region, but little has arrived yet. Government officials and police and army officers have all been caught up in the disaster themselves, hampering coordination.
The USS George Washington aircraft carrier was expected to arrive off the coast in about two days, according to the Pentagon. A similar sized U.S. ship, and its fleet of helicopters capable of dropping tons of water daily and evacuating wounded, was credited with saving scores of lives after the 2004 Asian tsunami.
The dead littered the streets or remained trapped in the debris.
"I don't believe there is a single structure that is not destroyed or severely damaged in some way — every single building, every single house," U.S. Marine Brig. Gen. Paul Kennedy said after taking a helicopter flight over Tacloban on Monday. He spoke at the airport, where two Marine C-130 cargo planes were unloading supplies.
Hours before Typhoon Haiyan hit, Philippine authorities moved 800,000 people to sturdy evacuation centers: churches, schools and public buildings. But the brick-and-mortar structures were simply no match for the jet-force winds and massive walls of waves.
Philippine President Benigno Aquino III declared a "state of national calamity," allowing the central government to release emergency funds quicker and impose price controls on staple goods.
The typhoon made landfall in Vietnam on Monday, but its winds were far weaker, and no immediate casualties were reported.
But it killed eight people in southern China and caused hundreds of millions of dollars in damage to the farming and fishing industries, state media reported Tuesday.
The Washington Post contributed to this report.
Haiyan packed a punch
In a display of enormous tropical power, Super Typhoon Haiyan packed more energy than the sum total of all 12 named storms — including two hurricanes — that have formed so far in the Atlantic this hurricane season. That shows not only how intense the single 195-mph Pacific system was, but also how "wimpy" the storm season has been in the Atlantic, said Jim Lushine, a retired National Weather Service forecaster and tropical expert.
Another indicator of Haiyan's power: It was 22 mph stronger than Hurricane Andrew, which struck Florida's Miami-Dade County as a Category 5 system with top winds of about 173 mph in August 1992, Lushine said.
The Atlantic hurricane season, which officially ends Nov. 30, has seen mostly short-lived weak storms, the result of an unexpected spate of dry air, wind shear and African dust. The Sun Sentinel
Help from around the world
United States
Secretary of State John Kerry said the U.S. government is organizing emergency shipments of material to provide shelter to thousands of displaced Filipinos and food and hygiene supplies. The aircraft carrier George Washington, which has 5,000 sailors and 80 aircraft, is being sent to the Philippines. It will arrive in about two days.
The United Kingdom is deploying a Royal Navy warship and Royal Air Force military transport aircraft in recovery efforts and donating $16 million worth of humanitarian assistance in aid.
Australia announced assistance of $9.4 million. That includes the deployment of an emergency medical team.
United Nations World Food Program
The United Nations World Food Program said it has allocated $2 million for the disaster response. WFP said it will send more than 40 tons of high-energy biscuits and will help with logistics and emergency communications systems.
UNICEF said 66 tons of emergency supplies are being sent from Copenhagen. Water purification systems, storage equipment and sanitation supplies will be flown in.
Japan will fly a 25-member relief team of mostly medical workers.

Joy amid grief, debris
TACLOBAN, Philippines — Cheers broke out Monday in the typhoon-devastated airport when 21-year-old Emily Ortega gave birth to a baby girl.
It was a rare piece of good news for the seaside city, where officials fear at least 10,000 were killed, and where tensof thousands of residents saw their homes flattened by ferocious winds and a massive storm surge from Typhoon Haiyan. Bea Joy Sagales appeared in good health. Her birth drew applause from others in the airport and military medics who assisted in her delivery.
Her birth was near-miraculous. Ortega said she had to swim and cling to a post to survive after the evacuation center she fled to was devastated by the 20-foot storm surge. She reached safety at the airport. Her husband in Manila was unaware of what has happened.

You may think your cat will never become dinner for fleas but a surprising number of indoor-only cats have problems.
Since cats are fastidious groomers, the fleas may go unnoticed until you see your cat doing lots of scratching or you notice some hair loss due to bite allergies. If you have a dog who goes outside, even if he's on flea prevention he stands of chance of being a flea carrier. You can also bring fleas in on your pants or socks. Another way they gain access is through the window screen, especially if your cat enjoys sitting by a first-floor window.
To do a flea check, place your cat on a white towel and brush. If you see black specks (flea debris) then it's time to get some flea control.

Why I'm Enjoying The Takeback more than The Good Men Project
Is it just me, or is there a cacaphony of intelligent, thoughtful writing right now that centers around redefining masculinity in ways that reflect at least some of the progress that has been made by feminism against patriarchy? Most recently, I've started reading both The Takeback and The Good Men Project.
Originally, I thought I'd write a long post comparing and contrasting these two sites, but upon further reflection, that seems like a lot of work, and there's no real reason to do that. The two groups of men are coming from different places, have different goals, and will therefore produce different content. And, though there are interesting articles in both places, The Takeback is explicitly pro-feminist, while The Good Men Project embraces the idea that they are allowing "both sides" to have a conversation (as if feminism, with its long history, is on one side while MRA's, who are comprised mostly of men who love the status quo of patriarchy except where it means they don't get laid and/or get custody of their kids sometimes, are on the other side).
Which is not to say that The Takeback is free from controversy, or that I like everything they're writing about; rather, it's more clear that the men (and women, and folks of all genders) who are putting The Takeback together are obviously more aware of the work that has already be done by feminists, and want to build on that. The Good Men Project is more obviously a profit-motivated sort of enterprise, with aspirations of a media empire--and as such, they cater more toward the mainstream.
It reminds me a little bit of what I perceive as the difference between Bitch magazine and BUST magazine--Bitch appeals much more to me, in that they take a more feminist stand on lots of things (for instance, they don't accept tobacco ads, in part because it's a feminist issue), but I can totally see why folks might want to read BUST, because it is something of an alternative to traditional women's magazines. At any rate, I think it's good that The Takeback and The Good Men Project are both out there, though I'll turn to The Takeback more often for more interesting conversations.
And I have to face it: The Takeback is the sort of thing I had envisioned Feminist Allies becoming someday--only it's way more slick, interesting and inclusive than I could ever have made this site, probably. But I'll happily read them, quote them and link to them!

ETSU wins eighth straight; ties program record with 21 wins
MACON, Ga. (March 3, 2010) - Prior to Monday's practice, junior point guard Tara Davis (Murfreesboro, Tenn.) came to the team with a new motto for the conference tournament - "No Mercy."
It's safe to say the Lady Bucs bought into the slogan after cruising to an 84-49 victory over eight-seeded Stetson in the quarterfinals of the 2010 General Shale Brick Atlantic Sun Tournament on Wednesday afternoon inside Mercer's University Center.
The Lady Bucs were led by A-Sun Player of the Year Siarre Evans (Griffin, Ga.), as she recorded her 52nd career double-double - ending with 19 points and 10 rebounds. The Griffin, Ga. native shot 7-of-12 from the field (3-for-4 from three) and forced four steals in 28 minutes of play. Fellow senior and First Team All-Conference selection TaRonda Wiles (Danville, Va.) also chipped in with 12 points, three rebounds, two assists and two steals in 24 minutes of work.
ETSU posted its eighth straight win and improved to 21-8 - tying the most wins in program history. Meanwhile, Stetson saw its season come to an end and finished 6-24 on the year.
"I thought we came out and started a little bit slow, but once we got relaxed and found our rhythm things picked up for us on both ends of the floor," commented head coach Karen Kemp, who has now guided the Lady Bucs to four straight conference semifinal appearances. "Our focus today was on defense and I was really proud of their effort by holding Stetson under 50 points. We also did a much better job taking care of the basketball in the second half. I credit my guards for doing a really good job of not making too many turnovers in the final 20 minutes.
"Before every game I ask my staff what their word of the day is and today's quotes were "No Mercy" and "Leave no doubt," said Kemp. "When we step on the court, we want everyone to know that this team is focused. We aren't satisfied with just a regular season championship. Our goal is to return back to the NCAAs, so I think the quote definitely fit today."
In the first half, Stetson got off to a hot start, hitting its first four shot attempts, and grabbed a 10-7 lead after Ashli Jackson nailed her second trey from the corner at the 16:34 mark.
From there, the Hatters cooled off, and Evans and Wiles showed the fans why they were unanimous first team all-conference selections.
The senior duo scored 18 of the next 22 Lady Buccaneer points and ETSU opened up a 15-point lead, 29-14 when Tarita Gordon (Wichita, Kan.) scored two of her 10 points on a jumper with 8:30 showing on the clock. Evans highlighted the run with 12 points.
ETSU wasn't hindered by a 4 minute, 25 second scoring drought midway throughout the first half, as the Lady Bucs took 19-point lead into the break, 37-18.
For the half, the Lady Bucs shot 44.1 percent (15-34); while ETSU limited the Hatters to a 28.0 shooting percentage (7-25). After hitting its first two 3-point attempts, Stetson closed the half 0-for-7.
The Lady Bucs used the opening 3 minutes, 17 seconds to extend their halftime lead to 46-22 when Wiles found Gwen Washington (Manassas, Va.) all alone for an easy lay-in.
Eventually ETSU saw its lead soar to 30, 71-41, when Natalie Pickwell (Kingsport, Tenn.) nailed one of her long-range 3-pointers and coach Kemp was able to go deep to the bench as all 12 players saw minutes - including 10 reaching double figures.
"I was really pleased by the offensive and defensive effort from the bench today," added Kemp. "I didn't feel like we lost a beat when we made substitutions.
"Ashley Benedict came in and gave us some big points and rebounds. Natalie Pickwell also knocked down some big threes, and I thought Johneshia Good ran the floor well to pick up a of couple lay-ups."
The Lady Bucs shot 51.4 percent in the second half and finished 33-of-69 for the ballgame (47.8 percent). Stetson was held to 31.7 percent shooting (19-60) and the Lady Bucs out-rebounded the Hatters 46 to 37. After turning the ball over eight times in the opening half, ETSU only coughed the ball up four times in the last 20 minutes. On defense, the Lady Bucs forced 18 total turnovers and cashed them in for 15 points on the offensive end. ETSU's bench also outscored Stetson's 28 to 8.
ETSU, who set a new margin of victory in the conference tournament at 35 points, will now have a day off in between games.
"The beauty of being the one or two seeds is having that day off," added Kemp. "Fortunately, for us we didn't' have anyone play 30-plus minutes, so that helped as well."
As for Davis and the Lady Bucs keeping the "No Mercy" motto intact for the remainder of the tournament - the answer is yes.
"Once I told the team about having no mercy the players kind of rolled with it," added Davis, who was one of five players to score in double figures with 11 points. "I wasn't expecting anybody to take it to heart, but we did, so I think it had a bit of an impact today. Since it worked so well today we are going to keep it with us on Friday."
Stetson was led by Natasha Graboski's double-double effort as she finished with 14 points and 12 rebounds. Jackson also added 14 for the Hatters.
ETSU now awaits the winner of Belmont/Kennesaw State. Tip of Friday's semifinal game is slated for noon.

Oh boy, oh boy.
I love just about every character in this series. Narrowing it down is extraordinarily difficult, but I'll try to limit it to my top 5, or I'd probably be abusing the word "favorite."
Let's start this thing off right...
Senjougahara Hitahi. Senjougahara is without a doubt the character that intrigues me the most. She's also the character that, also without a shred of doubt, attracts me the most. Her fascinating, domineering personality is a force to reckon with. She has a commanding presence, and every second she's on screen I'm spellbound. The clever dialogues between her and Araragi are likely my favorite parts of the entire series. Uniquely charismatic, witty, intensely beautiful and, let's be honest, scary as hell; she is my favorite character of the series and a true dream girl.
Araragi Koyomi. Though Nisemonogatari tarnished his reputation a little bit in my book, he is still the flagship character. His clever dialogue, and moreover, his tone of voice and inflection, really sell the series. Great voice, cool attitude, great taste in girls: Ararararagi's got it all.
Sengoku Nadeko. Let's be honest. Sengoku is one of the cutest things in existence. Her soft voice, gorgeous character design and cute personality makes her a sure-win. There's nothing to dislike here, she is simply a lovable, wish-you-were-alive-so-I-could-see-you-smile kind of character. (Too creepy?) I also like the more forward turn she took in Nise, which resulted in some funny, funny scenes. If I hear her say "Koyomi-oniichan" one more time, I think I'll probably die. Smiling, of course.
Hachikuji Mayoi. Once again, it comes down to dialogue. If Senjougaharai is the queen of clever, then Hachikuji is the princess of playfulness. Her teasing, smarmy and witty banter with Araragi comprise some of the series most hilarious moments. It's all complimented by her super-expressive and comical facial expressions, as well as her physical antics. The sheer absurdity of such a lithe girl carrying that mountain-sized backpack is a humorous sight in and of itself. Hachikuji: She's hella funny.
Black Hanekawa. Hanakawa in her normal form is probably my least favorite character. I don't dislike her, far from it, she just doesn't stand out when compared to the rest of these sublimely awesome characters. Her cat-form, however, is a different matter entirely. Playful, mischievous and funny, she really lives up to her cat heritage. I adore the way she talks, every little verbal tic. I would be remiss if I didn't bring up how outrageously sexy she is too. That's a big selling point, but it's the combined package that makes her an awesome and memorable character.
Honorable mentions go out to Kanbaru, Karen and Shinobu. All fantastic characters, but I have to make the cut-off point somewhere, or I'd list off the entire cast. Great characters all around, these guys and gals will go down in anime history.

Hitagi, Ararararagi (kamimashita), Kanbaru and Kagenui got my votes.
Hitagi, because she is Hitagi,
Araragi, because he did grow on me in Nise,
Kanbaru, because she is an epic TROLL,
Kagenui, beacuse her design is utterly unique. *o*

Black Hanekawa - Interesting version of her counter-part.
Kanbaru - Took a level in hotness here in Nise.
Koyomi - Epicly perverted protagonist, this guy rocks.
Oshino - Most bad-ass in the cast.
Ikari Gendo - This dude was cool, despite only appearing for...how long?
Hitagi - My favorite character of the series, so no surprise.
Kaiki/Gambit/Wolverine - Almost as bad-ass as Oshino.
EDIT: Mother of God, did I just forget to vote for Nadeko? No way.

If there's one glowing compliment I can give to Nise, it's that it made Mayoi one of my favorite characters. She was amazing in that show, enough so that I actually included her in my picks for this poll.

I voted for Hitagi and Hanekawa. They look hot together -shot-
I like Shinobu but the fact that she's 99% seen in her Loli-form turns me off greatly. Her adult form is just too awesome. I wish she just stays like that for good.

Favorite Cast by rank and reason.
1. Senjougahara - the black hair, the sharp tongue... she made me a masochist.
2. Oshino Shinobu - the cute yet dangerous Loli...worth hugging
3. Kanbaru Suruga - the tomboy hottie pervert... alluring
4. Sengoku Nadeko - innocent pervert... tempting
5. Hachikuji Mayoi - another Loli, just cute
My ranking would have change if some characters had given more exposure.

Ooops, I voted before I read I could vote for more than 1 person. Either way, Hanekawa Tsubasa is still my favourite character behind Shinobu. Offtopic: when exactly did we see Senjougahara's dad? Or hear him talk? I don't remember that.

In computational linguistics, word-sense disambiguation (WSD) is an open problem of natural language processing and ontology. WSD is identifying which sense of a word (i.e. meaning) is used in a sentence, when the word has multiple meanings. The solution to this problem impacts other computer-related writing, such as discourse, improving relevance of search engines, anaphora resolution, coherence, inference et cetera.
The human brain is quite proficient at word-sense disambiguation. The fact that natural language is formed in a way that requires so much of it is a reflection of that neurologic reality. In other words, human language developed in a way that reflects (and also has helped to shape) the innate ability provided by the brain's neural networks. In computer science and the information technology that it enables, it has been a long-term challenge to develop the ability in computers to do natural language processing and machine learning.
To date, a rich variety of techniques have been researched, from dictionary-based methods that use the knowledge encoded in lexical resources, to supervised machine learning methods in which a classifier is trained for each distinct word on a corpus of manually sense-annotated examples, to completely unsupervised methods that cluster occurrences of words, thereby inducing word senses. Among these, supervised learning approaches have been the most successful algorithms to date.

Christmas brings so much joy and excitement to our lives that letting go is difficult
Like many of you, I too am contemplating how incredibly sad my home will look once all of my holiday happiness has been removed. Christmas brings so much joy and excitement to our lives that letting go is difficult. Believe me, I hear you! As is tradition in Colorado, however, you may leave anything up that reflects winter! Allow the spruce in the bowl with pinecones, the scented candlesticks and the potpourri with the fragrance of a walk in the forest all stick around until the end of February. Just remove anything that says, "I was part of Christmas!"
To keep your spirits up as you start to remove your decorations, take this time to remember all the laughs that were spontaneous, the meal that was pure perfection and the new memories created forever. Plus, nothing feels better than getting organized for the New Year. This is the perfect time to organize and maybe even edit out some of your holiday finery! Lights that shown brilliantly on this year's Christmas need to be bagged and labeled: "Do Not Use on the Christmas tree in 2013…….Buy new for this year's tree".
Target always has a spectacular sale on ornament storage bins, wrapping paper bins and even wreath storage boxes, so consider snapping a few up to make this year's holiday decorations storage a bit easier. Roll up ribbon that played a part in this year's enchantment for use next year. Wrap precious heirloom ornaments in tissue for their debut next year. Make this the year you organize your holiday decorations in a ways that is as efficient as efficient can get. When Thanksgiving rolls around in 2013, you will fly into action like a well-oiled decorating machine!
When I return in January 2013, I promise to share my ideas about how to make our melancholy journey from the depth of winter to the new beginnings of spring sing with anticipation. Hang in there, and we will combat this together. Have an incredible New Year's celebration and we will talk again soon!
Happy New Year!
Through the Front Door will return on January 12, 2013!

Wayland alums, students keep things "in the family"
Traditions among families are no rarity, and often, higher education plays into that. For some, where to attend college is something decided long before the new grandchild is even walking. It's often a case of going where your grandparents and parents went just to continue the tradition.
Though not as prevalent as when it first started, today's student population at Wayland Baptist University still has a good number of family ties.
"Back in the 1960s, they started a program called 'Proud Heirs,' which included anyone who'd had a relative attend Wayland, whether it was a mother or father or sister or cousin or whatever," said Joe Provence, Director of Alumni Services.
"There's not as many as there used to be, but there are still a lot of kids who have ties."
Two such notable families threaded throughout WBU history - the Turners and the Harris-DeWeses - have members here as students currently. Eddie Turner, a 1972 graduate, has worked at Wayland for 28 years as bookstore manager. His daughter, Andrea, is currently a senior and her cousins, April Jackson and Jacob Burke, are both sophomores at WBU. Cousins Braxton Edwards, a senior, and Jeremy Harris, a sophomore, are currently holding the fort for the Harris-DeWese clan.
The Turner tie to Wayland goes back to the early 20th century, when grandfather Otto Burnes Freeman ventured from his hometown of Friona to work on the construction crew at Gates Hall. His daughter, Kathleen, married Cecil Turner and the family farmed near Hale Center for many years. During the 1950s, Kathleen enrolled in several religion classes at WBU for continuing education purposes, and the couple supported the university by sending regular financial gifts and by hosting foreign students in their home over the holidays.
The Turners had four children, all of whom graduated from Wayland: Viki Turner Hicks enrolled in 1967, followed by Eddie in 1968, Kathie Turner Jackson in 1970 and Terri Turner Burke in 1974. Kathie and Terri both married Wayland alums: Mike Jackson graduated in 1973 and Doug Burke graduated in 1978.
The tradition continued with many of the Turner grandchildren. Matt Jackson was the first grandchild to enter WBU, graduating in 1999, with cousins Erin Turner West and husband Damon graduating in 2001. Several generations of family sprouting from Eddie's wife, Sue Hammit Turner, have also called WBU their alma mater. Josh Rieff, a current WBU student from Hale Center, is among that line.
"Wayland has always been a part of my family; it's always been a part of life," said Eddie Turner. "It makes me feel good (to have such extended family ties) because my feeling is that Wayland is home for me." Another family with extensive WBU ties is the Hicks-Jackson families. The tradition spans four generations in that family, beginning in 1910 with Isaac Wilson Hicks, who attended Wayland in her early academy days. His three daughters, Evelyn Hicks Allen, Mary Hicks Jackson and Leilafaye Hicks Bearden all attended Wayland in the 1940s, with several of their children continuing the trend. Adele Allen Price, Tommie Joe Allen, Betty Jean Allen Kersh, Mary Vernon Jackson McGinnis, Linda Jackson Longsdorf and Jon David Jackson rounded out the third generation.
Elbert Wesley Jackson, the first generation from the Jackson family to attend, came to Wayland in the late 1920s and is in the athletic Hall of Honor. His son, Vernon, married Mary Hicks. Several other spouses along the way attended WBU. The last members in that line to attend Wayland were Marianne McGinnis (1990), her brother Paul McGinnis (1992) and his wife Maryann Wright McGinnis, who graduated in 1994.
A similar picture is painted by the Harris family, with several siblings attending Wayland: Glen (1951), Roy (1958), Rachel Painter (1959), Dale (1960) and Velma DeWese (1962). Glen's son Pat graduated from WBU in 1984. Two of Pat's sons will be attending in the fall: Jeremy, a sophomore, and Josh, a freshman.
Continuing the second generation was Suzanne Painter Alford (1981), and Bennie DeWese Edwards (1971). The third tier continued with Gayla Edwards Kelley (1994) and Braxton Edwards, a junior at WBU from Bushland.
Several Wayland staff and faculty have family ties as well, with many having graduated and having children graduated, or having been in the line of several generations of attendees. Danny Murphree, currently the director of property management, graduated in 1969, followed by a sister, Carolyn Murphree Wiseman (1977) and a brother, Jim (1980). Their father, Curtis, served on the Board of Trustees during later decades. Carolyn's husband, Kevin Wiseman, also graduated from WBU in 1977, and their children Sheila (2001) and Kyle also attended. Danny's wife, Linda Allen Murphree, graduated in 1971, and their son David also attended.

Wet winters a thing of the past
With spring in full swing, much of south-eastern Australia hasn't looked this green for years. Sydney's dam levels are well above 90 per cent while reservoirs serving Melbourne slosh over the 80 per cent mark.
But enjoy nature's bounty while it lasts. Much of the country's south-east recorded another below-average rainfall result for the key April to September period, and the Bureau of Meteorology is tipping warmer and drier-than-normal weather for the rest of 2012.
Across southern Australia, September's rainfall came in at 15.6 millimetres – more than 40 per cent below the 1961 to 1990 average, said Karl Braganza, manager of climate monitoring for the Bureau of Meteorology. Nationally, the previous month was even drier – the sixth-driest August in 110 years of records.
"It really was dry through most of South Australia into western NSW, much of Victoria and large parts of WA," Dr Braganza said, referring to the six-month stretch.
"It's a pattern of drying that we have now observed for more than 15 years over in the east, and for more than 30 years out in the west.
"It has been amazing to see that drying pattern quickly re-establish itself from mid-autumn this year, pretty much as soon as the influence of La Nina diminished," he said, referring to the weather pattern that typically brings heavier-than-usual rainfall across eastern mainland states.
Victorians living south of the Great Divide enjoyed relatively good rains in recent months. But the lush pastures and healthy river flows over the wider region owe much to back-to-back wet summers that raised deep-soil moisture levels, Dr Braganza said. "We still have water in the bank."
However, disappointing rains over the autumn, winter and spring in Victoria's Wimmera and Mallee mean those deposits are rapidly being drawn down.
"There has been a general drying, particularly across the grain-growing areas, pretty well across NSW and Victoria," said Peter Tuohey, a fifth-generation farmer and current president of the Victorian Farmers Federation.
Grain-growers in the state's north-west "are certainly looking for rain" Mr Tuohey said, as his tractor sprayed weeds on one of his paddocks near Pyramid Hill.
"It's certainly a very critical stage - the crops have just been hanging on and unless they get some rain soon they're going to struggle to finish up."
Cool and dry
Scientists say Australian winters are becoming drier with man-made actions - particularly the burning of fossil fuels - to blame.
Penny Whetton, a senior principal research scientist developing climate change projections at the CSIRO, said modelling of the climate's response to increased greenhouse gases in the atmosphere points to the drying in the cool seasons across Australia.
"It's in southern Australia where (the drying trend) is most important because quite a lot of our rain comes in the cool season," Dr Whetton said.
"What we see in recent years is drier conditions, particularly in the south-west of Western Australia, and more recently stretching over to the southeast."
Indeed, while Australians are accustomed to battling a variable climate, those fluctuations now rarely include wet winters. The last very wet winter - with rainfall greater than 50 per cent above the seasonal averager - in the nation's south-east was 1991, while south-western WA hasn't had one since 1965.
Dr Braganza said summer-like weather patterns are becoming more common during winter. "We've got a trend of more high-pressure systems over southern Australia," he said, with the result that rain bands are pushed south of the continent.
"Potentially the models have been underestimating these rainfall shifts."
Dr Whetton said that while climate models vary in their predictions of longer-term trends for southern Australia, one outcome seems increasingly unlikely. The scenarios "are a future where both summer and winter dry out or we might have a scenario where summer gets wetter and winter gets drier". "We're not likely to get a scenario where winter gets wetter," she said.

"I just dont get it" is an argument for your own stupidity
|May 18, 2012
|Posted by Angry Nerd under Humor, Rants, work
I get into a lot of arguments; a trait which is highly admirable and shows how dangerously exciting and controversial I am (or just that I am a aggressive, generally disagreeable person). Because of this, I hear a lot of bad arguments from not-very-intelligent people (the only kind that will argue with me), and one of the most common ones is "I don't get it!" You have probably heard it a few times yourself either because you're a good looking, intelligent, eloquent person who has to endure not-arguments like these, or because you're the kind of crustacean-crotch retard who tries to wield these bad arguments like a sledgehammer whenever there's a disagreement. Recognize this scenario? You're in an argument, and the person you're arguing with, upon having exhausted their highly-limited supply of valid arguments (and quite likely their almost limitless supply of invalid ones) claim they they "Just don't get it!" and look all smug like you owe them an explanation? This happens all the time, and was recently ruled as a justifiable reason for murder by the supreme court of Texas. This kind of not-argument pisses me off for several reasons:
The arrogant piece of crotch-rot is faking a willingness to change their opinion if you present more convincing arguments, even though you just did that. For extra points, they will include all your good arguments in their bad one in an attempt to nullify them. Example: "I still don't get why you should be paid more than me just because you're more qualified and achieve better results?"
It's used to attempt put the burden of evidence on the accused. This is a favorite for old crusty vagina-heads who takes it as a personal affront whenever someone does something that goes against their personal beliefs or preferences, because they think you need to justify being different from them. Example: "I just don't understand why you have to listen to this loud, violent music?"
It's an attempt to shift the burden of ignorance from themselves to you. Like it's not bad enough having to deal with their ignorant bullshit, you should now also share the burden for helping the mentally handicapped understand the fundamentals of everyday existence. I once had a moron at work (who use to manage me, until I kicked so much ass I got promoted) criticizing a suggestion of mine by claiming "I don't understand how anyone can expect this to work.", to which I replied that we should bring that up with his manager at his next performance review, and that I felt confident that with training and some support he would eventually be able to figure it out. Not only didn't he thank me for this helpful offer, but got offended and cranky until I got a raise and he got stress-related diseases and had to quit. See what "not getting it" gets you?
The person using this argument implies that they are so intelligent, reasonable and well informed that anything they do not get must be stupid and illogical. Example: "I just don't get the cause-and effect reasoning, astrology makes so much more sense!" If this example doesn't make much sense, that's the point.
Not getting it means you're stupid, ignorant or both
While I will admit that it is quite impressive for mentally challenged people to find a way to wield their own inability as a weapon in an argument, people like this must clearly be put in their place before they start feeling that they may have the right to an opinion beyond which burger joint they should spend the rest of their lives working in. Fortunately, they are quite easy to put in their place. If you just want to shut them up, the easiest way is to wait for the "I just dot get…" and then interrupt them with "Yeah, that's the entire problem here, you never getting it!" This has the advantage of being fast and effective, but means that any bystander with a working brain will assume you're as much of a stupid bitch as the person you're arguing with. Considering the few amounts of working brains in the universe, this isn't likely to be a problem, but you should be aware of the risks. If you happen to be around people who you do not wish to alienate by lowering your argumentation to the lowest common denominator level, you can just point out the cheap rhetorical tricks the person is using (I've already listed the most common ones so there's no excuse for not knowing them). Sadly, this means you may open yourself up to more "I don't get it" arguments from the person you just proved wrong. While none of the people who's opinion you may care about will be persuaded by this, the ignorant person may leave with the smug feeling of having won an argument with you, and will no doubt post poorly-written status updates about their victories on facebook!
Fighting ignorance with violence
Because of this, I find the best way to deal with these people is to calmly explain to them that you intend to punch them in the face, and that it would make perfect logical sense for them to defend themselves in any way possible. When your victim launches into a rant about how they "dont get why they should have to defend themselves", you have the perfect opportunity to kick them in the crotch.

New Solution for How to Remove Mugshots from Google With InternetReputation.com
InternetReputation.com an online reputation management and Internet privacy firm announces a new solution for removing online mugshot records from the Internet.
By: PR Newswire
Dec. 5, 2012 10:05 PM
DENVER, Dec. 5, 2012 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- InternetReputation.com an online reputation management and Internet privacy firm announces a new solution for removing online mugshot records from the Internet.
Arrests.org is the latest in a long line of mugshot gallery sites that scour public records for images and make them available for all to see. The damage these sites can cause is incalculable, and traditionally, it's been extremely hard to remove photographs from these sites once they have appeared. Now, InternetReputation.com is proud to announce a new guarantee for their customers, ensuring that photos will be removed from the site within 24 hours of a request from a client.
"We're extremely pleased to offer this new service to our clients," says a company representative. "This site seems to be exploding in recent months, and thousands of new images go up each and every day. We want to ensure that our clients are protected, should they find that their images are included on this distasteful website."
Arrests.org currently operates in multiple states, including California, New Mexico, Arizona, Georgia, Florida, Tennessee and both Carolinas. The group also plans to spread into other states, including Oregon.
"Anytime a state publishes mugshots online, the company can swipe those photographs and place them on their own databases. The photographs are considered part of the public record, and since they are proof of an event that actually happened, an arrest, they're not considered libelous."
Proving libel or defamation often means providing that the incident in question is somehow false. Since mugshots stem from an event that took place, an arrest, and Arrests.org is quick to point out that the images constitute only a record of an arrest and not a conviction, the company is operating within the confines of the law. Unfortunate people who have tried to sue to have their images removed have bumped right up against this law, and their cases have been thrown out.
"We've monitored the site for a significant period of time, and we've found that the contact button rarely allows people photographed to talk to a real person. Often, clicking that button just brings people to a blank page," says an InternetReputation.com representative. "We've found that many users just write comments about their innocence underneath their photographs, just hoping people will read their comments and listen to their stories."
One such user, arrested in Alabama, attempted this tactic and wrote: "This web site sucks. I was never convicted of anything nor was I committing a crime and now employers look up my name and see this. It really sucks." It's hard to know if this comment will help amend the damage this woman seems to be facing due to her inclusion on this site.
The solution provided by InternetReputation.com allows users to fill out a simple form, describing where their images are located and what the outcome of the arrest was, and the company sets to work to remove the images within 24 hours for a small fee. Copies of the photographs are also removed, and any existing links used by search engines are broken and removed.
"This is a complete solution that allows our clients to relax and know that all copies of the photographs are gone and all of the damage they have endured has been amended, once and for all," says a company representative. "We're really pleased to provide this product to the public."

In many regards the fact that Christianity is not more violent is the restraints, mores and laws of western civilization. Just because they dont fly airplanes into buildings just means they have been "forced" to be more subtle to champion their invisible guy in the sky. Their brain washing of children is an abominable evil.
Very true. It's the western laws of freedom that really have been a death sentence for Christianity. Of course it's a very slow process since Christianity was spread by force for over 1,500 years!
But if look at history in the past 2,000 years you'll see Christians killed more people than Muslims did!
Yeah, but that all changed with the New Testament .... right! right?
Yeah, but that all changed with the New Testament .... right! right?
How so?
Christians kept on killing and raping and doing forced conversions!
No, doubt ............ I was just anticipating the Christian typical comment. (satire)
No, doubt ............ I was just anticipating the Christian typical comment. (satire)
Christians hang out here?? Don't they know they'll be crucified here?
Hey, we shouldn't discriminate. All faiths and dogmas will be crucified here.
Right, all will be challenged ....... search for the truth makes all fair game. "Ignorance is bliss!"
Guess they figure they will "rise again" anyway.
Plus, they love to be "persecuted" by the godless, evil demons.
There might be violent Chistians but difference between New Testament and the Qu'rahn is that the New Testament never preaches violence, war towards others or makes note of wars waged by followers of Jesus. And by that I mean actual war not war as metaphor.
Also of the major religions founders/originators its only Muhammed that we for certain know waged wars and murdered people and his successors continued to wage war and murder people.
There is still plenty of violence and cruelty in the New Testament. As was stated earlier, it is just a matter of degree. The violence of the Quran is the same as the violence of the Old Testament. The Muslim extremist are the same as the Christian extremist of a couple hundred years ago. Religion changes slowly as society becomes less violent. That does not justify "brain washing" innocent children into believing that there is an invisible guy in the sky, that the world is 6,000 years old, Virgin Birth, Noahs Ark and other such mythology because dogma maintains New Testament is the literal word of God.
Where in the New Testament does Jesus endorse war, murder, beat ppl up etc?
I can't recall him beating anyone up or endorsing violence. That stuff is up to God.
The rerence toombaru made earlier to Mark 6:11 is not a command to christians but what God will/might do.
Still waiting on reference to violence endorse by Jesus.
Soooooo… "Gods ways are not our ways!" (thank God!) The "'father" can be a genocidal, murdering idiot (like old testament/same god) while the "son" preaches LOVE! Is that correct? As long as good Christians interpret the Bible lovingly, God can do what he wants because he answers to NOBODY! ... "Just because his ways are not ours." Ask Job about that love (and his kids, wives and cattle) LOL
I pray for only 2 things daily to "A higher power of my own understanding." One….. to be able to be honest with myself & two… to have less ego/self and help my fellow humans. If Gods special, omnipotent, violent way is diferent, how do you tell him from Satan?
It was about christianity vs islam this whole thread. New Testament does not preach violence and murder.
New Testament replaces the old, if your not a biblethumping moron (some atheists seem to be biblethumpers as well). The old testament is for the jews and for "historical" reference if your christian. But lots of christians are stupid but so are most humans so no biggie there.
Actually Jesus himself doesn't say much in the first place. Othe folks speak for him, 2nd and 3rd hand. Which makes sense, since he is mythical. Maybe you should think about how fast you call others morons, as doing so says more about you than them.
You do know that If hes mythical they cant speak for him in 2nd and 3rd hand. Since you know, there is no 1st hand.
Anyway its attributed to Jesus which is the point. He does not endorse or promote violence.
Point well taken .... 2nd and 3rd accounts of other mens God "inspired" literature. There ..... is that better.
Actually I'm not so hung up on Jesus promoting or not promoting violence. It is Christianitys history of that and Yawehs' liking for it that are troublesome.
Why do we need an imaginary god to love each other, anyway?? Jeezy Peezy!!
Islam is currently worse, no doubt, just behind a couple centuries with their magic book.

Legacy: Austria's Influence On American Skiing "Austrian Ski Culture & Helicopter Skiing - (1960s - )" For generations Austrian architecture, apres ski ambience, ski school directors and instructors gained notice and profits in the Americas. In the 1960s and 70s the Austrian Emo Henrich at Stratton in Vermont, and the Austrians Hans Gmoser and Mike Wiegele in the Canadian Rockies, put their cultural and entrepreneurial skills to work and thus furthered this legacy. At Stratton, Emo recruited many Austrian instructors with whom he created not only, the Stratton Mountain Boys -- a successful Austrian alpine music band (that to this day tours throughout the United States) -- but also, with a predominantly New York clientele, a progressive, competitive and innovative climate.

The Lloyds Bank Consumer Digital Index 2016 has revealed that there are potential annual saving opportunities for UK consumers of at least £3.7bn if the unbanked and digitally excluded were to fully realize the online savings potential unlocked through greater digital engagement. The Index, created in partnership with Accenture, Lloyds Banking Group, Toynbee Hall and Go ON UK, analyzes consumer trends in digital and financial capability and seeks to understand the links between the two from a UK-wide perspective.
This analysis, which considers the behavioral data of one million consumers from a UK representative population, also reveals:
Highly digitally capable consumers are also typically more financially resilient, making savings deposits of four times more value a month than less digital counterparts.
Eighty-six percent of people who manage their money online report they "worry less" because they can track their finances.
Digitally capable consumers also enjoy a digital dividend—70 percent say the Internet helps them save money and report an average annual saving of £744 on their spending due to digital discounts.
The Index findings point to the need for digital and financial institutions to use online money saving as a universal call to action. Digital is a key opportunity for people with low financial skills and the financially excluded, to help manage and save money.

Beautiful Heirloom Brush
This is a review for a Popular (large or full-size) Mason Pearson brush made of mixed boar bristle and nylon. The longer bristles are nylon and the shorter ones are boar bristle. It is a beautiful heirloom brush worth every penny of the incredibly high price.
All of the larger Mason Pearson brushes, including this one, come with a cleaning brush, so that you can easily clean loose hairs out of your brush.
There are two things you need to know when you're ready to buy a Mason Pearson brush of any sort. One is the size: full-size (the largest size), handy (medium sized), or pocket (the smallest size).

Minnesota Bank Robbery Suspect Caught After Chase
EAGLE LAKE, Minn. (AP) - A Kentucky man is in jail, accused of robbing a bank in south-central Minnesota.
Blue Earth County sheriff's authorities say the 25-year-old man walked into the Peoples State Bank in Eagle Lake Tuesday morning, pulled a gun and demanded money. The man then took the cash and fled.
About 15 minutes later, a Minnesota state trooper and a Blue Earth County sheriff's deputy found the suspect's car driving eastbound on Highway 14 east of Janesville.
Authorities chased the car for several miles on gravel roads in Waseca County.
Eyewitnesses tell reporters officers arrested the suspect at gunpoint southwest of Waseca.
Reports say the man was being booked into the Blue Earth County Jail.
Eagle Lake is about two miles east of Mankato.

With the rise of terrorism, war isn't what it used to be.
The threats are diffuse. The enemy has no single flag. The battlefields are scattered.
It is in this context that President Obama claims war-making authority to use unmanned drones to find and kill enemies abroad — even American citizens.
We're glad to see the administration has signaled it is finally abandoning efforts to keep secret its legal rationale for having taken the lives of U.S. citizens overseas who were deemed threats to this nation. It's unfortunate this debate had to drag on for several years before the administration was sufficiently pressured to take this step.
The coercion came in the form of a federal appeals court ruling in April saying the government must release its legal reasoning. Administration officials last week finally said they will not appeal.
The administration also got heat from a group of U.S. senators, including Mark Udall, D-Colo., who had pledged to block an appeals court nominee unless the administration made the memo public.
"This is a welcome development for government transparency and affirms that although the government does have the right to keep national security secrets, it does not get to have secret laws," Udall said.
Udall said with the promise of disclosure, he was ready to support the judicial nomination of David Barron, a Harvard law professor and former Justice Department official who wrote the memo at issue.
On Thursday, the Senate confirmed Barron's nomination for a seat on the 1st U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Boston.
What remains is for the release of the memo — and without so much redaction that it's impossible to make sense of it.
Given the Bill of Rights and federal law, it is difficult to see how the government could justify the killing of a citizen without judicial due process. But let us at least see the full reasoning.
Thus far, U.S. officials have acknowledged killing four U.S. citizens overseas, but contend that only one was explicitly targeted. Americans deserve to know when their government believes it can take citizens' lives, and they have the right to challenge such a breathtaking assertion of power.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa. - Mike McQueary, a former Penn State assistant football coach who was a star witness in the Jerry Sandusky trial, wants millions of dollars in damages from Penn State for allegedly ruining his reputation and branding him as part of a cover-up, according to the whistle-blower lawsuit he filed against the university Tuesday.
In the suit, McQueary alleges the university's treatment of him since Nov. 5, when the charges against Sandusky were made public, has ruined his reputation, crippled him financially and kept him from earning a living doing what he wants-coaching football.
In particular, the lawsuit's points the finger at former president Graham Spanier and former university administrators Tim Curley and Gary Schultz. He also alleges the university terminated him because of his cooperation with investigators and prosecutors in the Sandusky case.
McQueary testified he saw Sandusky in a shower with a young boy in February 2001 in what he thought was a sexual act. He was approached by investigators in November 2010 after they got an anonymous tip.
McQueary's suit was filed on the grounds of the whistle-blower statute, defamation and misrepresentation. He's seeking more than $4 million in lost wages plus legal costs and other punitive damages to be determined after a jury trial.
Penn State spokesman David La Torre declined to comment on the allegations from McQueary's suit. At a university trustees meeting in Scranton this summer, trustee Ira Lubert told the board that McQueary's pending suit, which at the time consisted only of a notice he intended to sue, was baseless.
McQueary was put on administrative leave Nov. 13 and told to stay away from university football facilities and give back university property, like a cell phone and a car. His salary for 2011-2012 was $140,400 plus other bonuses and benefits, his attorney, Elliot Strokoff, said in the suit.
Since then, McQueary has suffered "much distress, anxiety and embarrassment" from the university, the suit alleges. But he has not gone into hiding, as he has been seen around town, such as at State College Spikes baseball games and on Penn State campus.
McQueary's suit alleges that Spanier's support for Curley and Schultz-the former administrators who are awaiting trial on perjury charges-"reinforces the perception that (McQueary) had lied and committed perjury." Spanier issued a news release backing Curley and Schultz on Nov. 5 after they were indicted, and McQueary's suit said Spanier reiterated that message in a meeting with university athletics staff on Nov. 7.
Spanier's news release said he had "complete confidence" in how Curley and Schultz handled the report of allegations against Sandusky in 2001.
McQueary alleged the news release was a ploy to show public support for and exonerate Curley and Schultz while isolating McQueary and making him the scapegoat.
"President Spanier's statements have irreparably harmed the Plaintiff's reputation for honesty and integrity, and have irreparably harmed the Plaintiff's ability to earn a living, especially in his chosen profession of coaching football," the suit says.
A spokesman for Spanier did not return e-mail messages seeking comment.
On the grounds of the whistle-blower statute, McQueary said the university discriminated against him and terminated him because of his cooperation with the state attorney general's grand jury investigation and testifying at criminal proceedings for Curley and Schultz.
The suit said McQueary was the only assistant coach not invited for an interview for a possible coaching position under new head coach Bill O'Brien.
A few assistant coaches stayed on under O'Brien, and others were given severance packages that started July 31.
McQueary said the university refused to pay him a severance and had to make an early withdrawal from his pension account, which will have him incur a substantial but not yet determined penalty.
McQueary also said the university has not offered to have his legal fees reimbursed by the university, and he has incurred "substantial and ongoing" legal fees. According to the university's bylaws, trustees and certain high-ranking university officials can be reimbursed for legal expenses, such as Curley, Schultz and Spanier.
McQueary also alleges Curley and Schultz misrepresented to him that they thought his report to them in 2001 was serious.
The suit states that Curley and Schultz "had decided to pursue a course of action that would avoid an investigation by any law enforcement investigator or other trained investigator and try to keep Plaintiff's report, and the underlying incident, a secret in an effort to preserve the reputation of" Penn State.
McQueary, who played quarterback under former head coach Joe Paterno, was a graduate assistant when he walked in on the infamous shower incident in February 2001. He testified at Sandusky's trial that he thought it was sexual in nature because of the sounds he heard but did not see a sex act occurring.
McQueary reported the incident to Paterno, who reported it to Curley. McQueary later met with Curley and Schultz and was told the situation was resolved.
McQueary became an assistant coach in 2004. His contract expired June 30, and he said he did not know he had been terminated until he saw President Rodney Erickson saying that on TV in July.
During the Sandusky trial, McQueary testified that he thought he did a good job as an assistant coach and did not get the job in 2004 because of the shower incident years before. He also said under oath, while comparing the coach O'Brien to coach Paterno, that O'Brien "wants to know where you are every second of the day." He did not say how he came to make that assertion because he never worked under O'Brien.
McQueary is expected to be a witness at the trial of Curley and Schultz, who were indicted by the grand jury investigating Sandusky on charges they lied under oath about their knowledge of the allegations. Both men have maintained their innocence and are scheduled for trial in January in Harrisburg.
The 2001 shower incident took a life of its own after the charges came about, as it led to the firing of Paterno and Spanier. In the end, though, the jury acquitted Sandusky of the most serious charge from that incident, involuntary deviate sexual intercourse.
A young man stepped forward this summer and said through his civil attorneys that he was that boy in the shower. Known as Victim 2 from the grand jury's presentment, the young man went through years of abuse from Sandusky, the attorneys said.
The Freeh report, a university-commissioned inquiry in July, determined that Spanier, Curley, Schultz and Paterno all concealed allegations of abuse against Sandusky to avoid bad publicity. The report by former FBI director Louis Freeh was accepted by the university's trustees and was the basis for harsh sanctions by the NCAA that include a post-season bowl ban, a loss of scholarships and vacating all Penn State's wins from 1998 to 2011.
The Freeh report has been criticized by attorneys for Spanier, Curley, Schultz, and Paterno as well as university trustees, faculty and alumni.

The "White House Down" actor and his wife had their first Tatum tot in London on May 31, according to a message later posted on Tatum's website.
The couple named their "Magic Tyke" Everly. Other birth vitals were not announced.
The Tatums met on the set of the 2006 dance flick "Step Up," began dating, and were married in March 2009.
The actors announced their baby news in December and are currently living in London as People's Sexiest Man Alive shoots the Wachowskis sci-fi flick "Jupiter Ascending" with
Last April, Dewan-Tatum opened up to Glamour magazine about the innate and primordial aspects of carrying a baby.
"I thought my body was going to change so quickly with pregnancy that I'd freak out. But it was really gradual. There's a reason women are pregnant for nine months; by the end, you're ready to have this baby."
And her husband has been supportive throughout the way.
"Channing has been great. He takes the route of no confrontation, just support, saying things like, 'Do whatever you want! What do you want to eat? I'm going to leave it up to you.' "
As for their parenting style, being parents to two canines is all the practice they had up until now.
"Who knows what kind of parents we'll be?" she added. "We have two dogs, so we've had some practice! And as soon as this baby comes into the world, Channing and I will figure it out real fast."
Here's to figuring it out. Congrats!
[For the Record, 11:15 a.m. PDT, June 4: A previous version of this post stated that Channing Tatum's and Jenna Dewan-Tatum's baby was born on May 30. She was born May 31.]

Carroll Puts Three More Bullets Into Melges 32 U.S. National Championship
12 June 2011
Rye, NY - USA - The second day at the 2011 U.S. Melges 32 National Championship, hosted by theAmerican Yacht Club (AYC) was quite exciting. Jason Carroll aboard Argo continues to lead the Championship by a substantial margin. He took all three races conducted on Saturday and turned in a flawless 1-1-1 score line. Takashi Okura on SLED is second and Mark Plaxton's INTAC is now seated in third.
Saturday's conditions were the polar opposite of Friday's sunshine, warmth and lack of breeze. The big breeze made for ideal planing conditions, and for some owners, it was the first time they had gone 20+ downwind. A nice 22-23 knots blew solid all day, coupled with sizable waves and very cool temperatures. Never once did the breeze let-up, and it seemed to increase ever so slightly as the day went on and the waves grew larger as well.
Carroll turned in a championship-winning performance, unmatched by any other team in attendance. He nailed the starts and punched the acceleration extending every leg on each race finishing well ahead of his fellow competitors. With two more races to go on Sunday, Carroll proudly leads by an impressive eleven points overall.
At the start of race one, Okura managed to lose his tactician overboard due to a failed lifeline, putting to a halt what was an awesome start for the one and only Japanese boat at Nationals. Eiichiro Hamazaki, was quickly pulled from the water, smiling and unharmed.
Other teams that had a pretty decent race or two was newbie Benjamin Schwartz on Pisces turning in a second place finish in the first race of the day. Steve Rhyne's Mojo crept into the top three for an awesome third place finish in race two. John Taylor's Ninkasi grabbed a beautiful second place finish on the final race of the day.
Sunday's forecast is not calling for much in the way of breeze. More showers and a high chance of thunderstorms are predicted.
Top Five Results (After six races)
1.) Argo, Jason Carroll/Cameron Appleton; 1-[2]-1-1-1-1 = 5
2.) SLED, Takashi Okura/Eiichiro Hamazaki; 2-1-6-[8]-2-3 = 14
3.) INTAC, Mark Plaxton/Anthony Kotoun; 5-7-2=3-4-[9] = 21
4.) Ramrod, Rod Jabin/Chris Larson; 6-3-5-[10]-5-4 = 23
3.) Dark N' Stormy, Ed Tillinghast/Allan Terhune; 3-5-44-8-[12 DNF] = 24

text: Can a one-night stand ruin your career and change your entire life as you know it? It certainly seems that way for Hwang Ji An (Kim Sun Ah), who is at the peak of her career. She is the top shoe designer for a major shoe company. But in Korean society, she is what they call a "gold miss" – a successful, yet unmarried woman in her 30s. One night, Ji An makes a stupid mistake and sleeps with Park Tae Gang (Lee Jang Woo), a new employee in her company. Even if she wanted to put the mistake behind her, Ji An can't quite do that when she finds out that she is pregnant. Jo Eun Sung (Park Gun Hyung), her obstetrician, does what she can to provide moral support. But the straightforward Im Soo Hyang (Yeom Na Ri), who has a crush on Ji An, may not be so understanding of her situation. Will Ji An have to give up everything she knows and live with the consequences of her mistake? "I Do, I Do" is a 2012 South Korean drama series directed by Kang Dae Seon.
