Snooki Shares Tips for Prince Harry's Trip to New Jersey
In honor of that royal visit, PEOPLE asked a true Jersey princess, Nicole "Snooki" Polizzi, to offer some tips for the party-loving prince, and here's what the former Jersey Shore star – who'll be back for a third season of MTV's Snooki & JWOWW – and new mom has to tell Prince Harry:
Your Highness, you are going to have the time of your life. I grew up in New York, and I was always so excited to go to Jersey because it's always a good time, whether you go out in Hoboken, go down to the Shore or just do whatever! And now that I live here, it's just perfect.
I know you plan on visiting the Jersey Shore. Even though it's still being reconstructed from Sandy, some businesses are still up and running and they need customers. You could visit Point Pleasant, Wildwood or Seaside Heights, where we filmed Jersey Shore. I feel like you're a party guy and enjoy having fun, so Belmar is BEYOND amazing with pretty girls and a great party scene.

The shopping in Jersey is great – and also there's no sales tax on clothing. I'm a shopaholic, and Jersey is full of great malls: Short Hills, Freehold, Jersey Gardens – it's a shoppers paradise!
I feel like you would fit right in in Hoboken. There are strips of bars everywhere where you can have drinks, maybe meet your future Princess and enjoy the great skyline of N.Y.C. It's always been one of my favorite spots to visit, and I went there when I turned 21, so imagine the craziness that happened.
Make sure to hit up a nice, authentic Italian restaurant during your stay. Being adopted into an Italian family has taught me a lot about real Italian food. Jersey has some of the best Italian restaurants around, so grab yourself some yummy pasta and meatballs!
Jersey is always a good time, and I have some of the best memories vacationing there growing up! Now it's my home and there's no place I would rather raise my son, Lorenzo.
I'm sure you'll meet some great people during your stay. Locals are everywhere. It's Jersey!

Jeanell Marvin, 27, of Summerville is a bundle of emotion. And this, in part, is what makes her such a good teacher. She cares.
Originally from the Bronx, in New York, she and her family relocated to Summerville when she was 16. She graduated from Summerville High School and then from Charleston Southern. She got hired at William Reeves Jr., Elementary School and has been there ever since. And she loves it.
"Coming from the inner city [the Bronx] I knew education is the only answer," she says with wisdom belying her years.
"My mom told us our entire lives that knowledge was power and education was the key. If you can read and have knowledge, you can go anywhere and do anything."
"I tell my kids that!"
"I think teaching shows that you care," she adds. "Education can release you from any circumstance…it's the key to getting out."
She is referring to the feeling of being trapped in a lifestyle or circumstance that so many face these days.
And she should know. She grew up in the projects. "I am not sure anyone down here will know what a project is," she noted. A project is a building or group of buildings built for low income housing. Too often they are falling apart, covered in graffiti, with drugs being sold in the hallways and the young people who live there having a life expectancy of – if they are lucky – mid twenties. Those are the projects.
Marvin was lucky. She had a family that knew what was important and made sure the children got it. She went to LaGuardia High School for the Arts in Manhattan, an arts high school for which you have to audition. She went for dance and drama.
"I was very close to my teachers there," she recalls with a smile. She is the eldest of four children. She says they came to South Carolina to get the children out of the projects and out of the Bronx.
But regardless of where she lived, the importance of learning was drilled into her.
"My mom used to say, 'you're bored? Read a book.' It was her answer to everything.
She is certified in grades 2 to 6 and teaches 4th grade. She feels one of her most important teaching tools is to let her students know that they are loved. Each and every one.
"Always on the first day of school I tell them I love them. I get some weird looks! But every year, I know at least one of them needed to hear it … maybe they have a bad home life or maybe just first-day butterflies, but at least one needed to hear that."
We establish a family here [in the classroom] and when they feel safe and accepted, they will accept what is coming out of my mouth."
She remembers a child who began the year defiant, unengaged, who stole things and didn't know it was wrong. The child resisted whatever she tried, she said, but she never gave up. By the end of the year the child had undergone a huge transformation and everyone who interacted with the child saw it.
"At one point," says Marvin, with tears running down her cheeks, "she told me she wanted to live with me 'because you love me.' I had to go out in the hall and cry," she remembers. "But I told her I would be her fairy godmother, instead, just like Cinderella had and that was okay."
And if teaching isn't enough, Marvin plays kickball with students – Marlin Madness – and helps run the Bravo Club, the school drama club.
She was Rookie Teacher of the Year her very first year of teaching for both the school and the district.
She is currently deciding from which school to get her Master's Degree and thinks it will most likely be Walden University. She wants to get her Master's in reading and literacy because a long-term dream of hers is to take the importance of literacy to at risk neighborhoods and help young parents learn how to read to their infants, babies and toddlers. "It's a dream of mine to help women who don't have those resources…like the understanding of the benefits of reading and story time."
She is married to a teacher – Michael, who is certified K-12 in PE – and has two children: Jada, 6, and Mya, 8 months old. Jada is in school at Reeves.
"I felt guilty coming back after I had Mya," she says, " but because I teach I feel I am impacting their [Jada and Mya] world, the community they will live in. And Jada has 24 brothers and sisters [her class].
In her spare time, Marvin loves reading magazines, taking photos of her family and her new church – Journey Church.
"I am so involved in the community," she says. "It is so funny how your life just falls together like a big batch of soup and everything just goes right. I am a big homebody and I love doing things with my family."
In fact, she says, her family has a big family bucket list that includes things like "dance in the rain."
She also enjoys doing things with her friends like crafts and holding Pinterest parties ("teachers are obsessed with Pinterest," she laughs). So one night a month they have a girls night and do crafts, she says. "I look forward to it."
Oh, and she likes to paint nails…"I think it's therapeutic like coloring books."
She and her husband are big movie buffs either at the cinema or home on the couch. They love watching TV together as well and enjoy the same shows.
She says she get wonderful support at school from her administrative team. "They are there for any issues."
But it is the students who make her day complete.
"If they [her students] can't remember anything I have taught them, as long as they remember someone cares…."
"I think we are all given a certain number of steps on earth and I think every step matters. You never know when your last step will be."

, updated February 18, 2013 at 11:17 PM
Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III is criticizing what he called the "costly and frivolous" appellate court work done for four admitted criminals, each of whom had waived appeals efforts on two occasions after having pleaded guilty.
An appellate court unanimously rejected the belated appeals of a Buffalo killer, a convicted child molester, a city man who helped attack another motorist with a baseball bat and an admitted Buffalo burglar.
"While it is important that financially poor defendants have competent legal representation," Sedita said, "it is troubling when such appeals are being repeatedly brought on behalf of admitted violent felons, especially when they are being repeatedly financed by the law-abiding taxpayers of Erie County."
Sedita described the losing appeals as "costly and frivolous." The cases include former Buffalo street gang member Kasiem Williams' manslaughter conviction by plea; Christopher Scott's first-degree rape conviction by plea in repeated sexual assaults on an 8-year-old Buffalo girl; Stanley McCarty Sr.'s assault conviction by plea in a 2010 baseball bat attack; and Tyler J. Morford's burglary conviction by plea in a 2010 house burglary.
The five-judge Appellate Division of State Supreme Court in Rochester unanimously upheld all four convictions in very brief decisions.
Sedita said all four convictions resulted from "two appeal waivers" from each of those defendants, including a verbal waiver made under oath by each and a written waiver of appeal signed by each defendant.
"Despite having twice waived their right to appeal in exchange for sentencing considerations by the court, the defendants appealed, which caused the District Attorney's Office to devote substantial resources to fight the appeals and uphold the conviction," Sedita said.
"All these defendants were represented by lawyers who were paid for their legal representation from public funds," Sedita stressed.
But Paul J. Cambria, a prominent Buffalo defense attorney, feels it is frequently appropriate for defendants to pursue appeals.
"I am very much opposed to allowing the prosecution to bargain away appeal rights," Cambria said. "The sides are not even. It's not a fair fight. Many people plea bargain because they don't have the funds or the stomach for a trial.
"Some are given advice that is less than competent and, indeed, the United States Supreme Court recently recognized the right to competent counsel during the plea-bargaining process. Many times, prosecutors not only demand that they control what someone can plead to but what their sentence will be as well, which now invades the judge's role."
Williams, 23, an inmate at the state's Upstate Correctional Facility, was sentenced by State Supreme Court Justice M. William Boller on June 3, 2011, to serve a prison term of up to 25 years on his reduced plea to first-degree manslaughter in the drug-related murder of Virgil Page, 32, on 19th Street on June 5, 2010.
Scott, 29, an inmate at the state's Wende Correctional Facility, was ordered by State Supreme Court Justice Russell P. Buscaglia on May 25, 2011, to serve a prison term of up to 15 years on his first-degree rape plea for repeatedly molesting a girl.
McCarty, 48, an inmate at the state's MidState Correctional Facility, is serving a five-year term for his first-degree assault conviction in a 2010 Buffalo baseball attack on another motorist.
Morford, 22, an inmate at the state's Groveland Correctional Facility, has been serving a five-year term since May 2011.

The Hawaii Kai neighborhood board is throwing the spotlight on a plan to develop prime land acoss from Maunalua Bay with Foodland as a possible anchor tenant.
Some call it the "great lawn."
It is four acres along the highway that is zoned for preservation. But, residents who use the adjacent dog park fear they may be displaced by a new Foodland store.
"Having Foodland back would be a good thing, but not at the expense of the dog park," said Musashi Cibulka.
"We don't need another shopping center, but I think we need more dog parks," said Sherri Higa.
Pet owners stopped at the park before heading to the Tuesday evening meeting to speak their minds.
"It's just not going to work. They are going to move us down to that small space down there and you get a small space, you get dog fights," said Sally Flinn. "We want Foodland back, just not here."
"I would be really sad and disappointed if they developed this area but we live in a society where if you own the land you get to do with what behooves you to do the best to do with that land," said Linda Vanatta.
"Adding another shopping center with the traffic on Kalanianaole would be horrible. It's going to cause traffic jams, and more traffic accidents," said Nicolas Bromolow.
At the neighborhood board meeting Tuesday night, members were taking up a resolution to support the community's sustainability plan, which calls for preserving open spaces and limiting the expansion of commercial activity.
"We are not specifically addressing the plan about putting Foodland on the parcel, but rather how important the zoning is for preservation status and whether that should be maintained. We have always supported preservation of existing zoning and open space and protecting view planes and just really the quality of life back here that makes Hawaii Kai so special," said Board Chairman Greg Knudsen.
Those looking to represent the area were ready to weigh in on the controversy.
"The landowner needs to be upfront with the community with what the proposals are. The reason why people are huhu is people don't know what is going on," said Laura Thielen, who is making a run for a Senate seat representing part of the Hawaii Kai area.
"I do support a second grocer in this area, but I find it hard that Kalama would be an option," said Sen. Pohai Ryan.
"Hawaii Kai loves Foodland, but Hawaii Kai loves its community more. That great lawn is the signature piece of this community," said Rep. Gene Ward.
Foodland was not on hand for the meeting, even though members say the company was invited to attend. Kamehameha Schools had a representative at the meeting. The school says she was sent to indicate to the board and the community that Kamehameha Schools is interested in receiving public input on future use of the property. Both Foodland and Kamehameha Schools have said proposals to build a build on the property are in the preliminary stages.
The estate said it suggested the parcel fronting Kalanianaole Highway after it was approached by Foodland to find another home in the Hawaii Kai neighborhood.
Kamehameha Schools said it expects the results of its survey of area residents to be complete by the end of next month. It plans to share the poll with the neighborhood board at a future date. It also plans to meet with small groups to listen to their concerns and ideas to try and shape plans for the property.

Yes E has played well. But Kronwall has played poorly this year from a defensive stand point, which makes E look even better. He is playing on a top pair, but he really is a 3/4 not a 1/2 Dman.
The real question with E is, can we afford to keep him. He is a UFA after next season, and the market is 5 million per year. Is E worth it? That one is a tough choice. We do have 4/5 young Dman pushing for time: Kindl, Dekeyser, Lashoff, Smith, and Sproul. Maybe this summer is the time to flip him for a top 2 line forward-something we don't have.
Sproul has yet to play a game at the AHL level, let alone the NHL level. What makes you think he will be pushing the big club anytime soon?
Sproul, Oulette, Backman, Jensen, Marshall, McKee, Nedomlel, etc, all light years away from playing any kind of role in Detroit, IMO.

Reviews for Delightful Banana Cake
"This was a very nice cake...I left the choc chips out because we like it without them."
"I don't know where I went wrong, but it didn't turn out anything like the photo. I prepared everything ahead as usual, but by the time I got the egg whites whipped, and the chocolate melted, the cake batter had "fallen", the chocolate had cooled so much that I had to remelt it, and the egg whites fell as well. The cake ended up being no taller than 2 inches, and although it tasted good, I won't make it again."
"Tastes very good! My brother liked this cake a lot! I used fat free sour cream and it worked great. However, this cake wasn't extremely moist like I expected. But it was moist enough. It looks spectacular!"
"This was a fun recipe with great results. Took it to work - it flew off the plate. Even the crumbs were attacked. Lots of smiles and Mmmm's from those who got there in time to have some."
"So good! I added some almond extract to the icing... this recipe is a keeper!"
"This was DELICIOUS! I omitted the walnuts/pecans. Everyone raved about this - loved how moist it was. Couldn't even taste the applesauce. Definitely will be making this many more times!"
"This cake was delicious! I used 1 cup of blueberries instead of the chocolate and omitted the nuts....YUMMY!"

STEUBENVILLE-Oak Glen gave Catholic Central all it could handle for two quarters Tuesday. Then, the Crusaders picked up the intensity, went on a 10-0 scoring run and cruised to a 55-36 victory inside the Mickey Barber Gymnasium.
The Golden Bears were down four (19-15) at the half and moved closer following a Taylor Kincaid free throw make to open the third quarter. That's when Sean Tucker's unbeaten club got it going.
Point guard Michael Barber registered a hoop and one on a nifty drive down the lane. Michael Carapellotti drained a freebie before Zack Herrington (he connected from behind the arc and at the line then scored in the paint) went on a six-point tear to put the hosts ahead by 13 (29-16). The Crusaders were up 36-23 heading into the final stanza.

Oak Glen's Jakob Ford
Herrington scored 17 of his game-high 23 points during the second half.
"We realized what we had to do in order to beat a team that plays zone," Tucker said of his club's turnaround. "The kids came out and did what they had to do. They cut hard to the bucket, they followed their shots, they saw the floor better and they got out in transition.
"We played flat in the first half. We just can't half halves like that. Eventually it is going to catch up with us. Luckily tonight it didn't and these kids were able to remain perfect."

Central, now 5-0, was up 10-7 after one quarter thanks to four points by Carapellotti. Herrington recorded four of his team's 10 second period markers. Meanwhile, Kincaid and his Cody Howell kept the Golden Bears close, accounting for 12 of the first half total.
"I think we have gone into the half down two or four points in four games this season," Oak Glen's Dave Smith noted. "We talk about sustaining the energy of from the first half. For whatever reason, we have a letdown every time.
"I just don't know why that happens. We could very well be 4-1 right now. I'm not sure what it is going to take for us to reach the next level. We made mistakes, we had 22 turnovers and we made bad decisions when we came out after halftime."
Carapellotti added 11 points for the Crusaders, who were 18 of 53 from the floor. Barber finished with eight. Herrington tied Carapellotti for the lead in rebounds with seven and recorded five steals. He and Barber both dished out three assists.
Central was a strong 17 of 24 from the line, including an impressive 13 for 17 during the final eight minutes.
Howell topped Oak Glen in the scoring department with 13. Kincaid had 11 to go along with his eight boards. The Golden Bears had a respectable shooting night, going 15 of 31.
"Their intensity definitely was greater in the second half," Smith said. "We made good decisions in the first half. We were able to kick the ball ahead and get some layups. We didn't do those things in the second half.
"When people pressure you, you have to make them pay for it. We didn't do that tonight. We need to work on being more consistent."
As is generally the case, Tucker's bench played a key role in the victory. Michael Manfresca ended the first frame with a hoop and opened the second by scoring on a nifty pass from Herrington.
"I try to get in there, give guys a break and do what I can," Manfresca said. "I understand what my role is when I enter a game. Coach did get on us a little bit at the half; we came out, picked up our intensity and played a good second half."
Aleks Porreca, another one of Central's role players, noted "it feels great to be 5-0."
"We have a lot of momentum going into Friday (the day Central visits Madonna)," he pointed out. We can't start out flat like we have been. We need to come out and play our game."
Tucker's crew won't play another home game until Jan. 12 when Bridgeport visits. After the Madonna game, the Crusaders will participate in the Undo's Tournament before traveling to Oak Glen, Big Red, Toronto and Barnesville.
Oak Glen will host Beaver Local Saturday.

Since its establishment in 1969, the Decker School of Nursing has earned an enviable reputation among baccalaureate, masters' and doctoral nursing programs in the State of New York, the nation and other countries. The Decker School offers students the highest quality academic preparation for professional nursing.
The undergraduate program prepares graduates for generalist practice at the baccalaureate level through program options leading to the Bachelor of Science degree with a major in nursing. Baccalaureate graduates are prepared to apply theory and research from physical, behavioral, and nursing science to the practice of nursing in health promotion, risk reduction, and disease prevention and management across the life span.
The Decker School prides itself on both the quality and the quantity of its clinical practice experiences that are seen as the foundation for graduates' success in professional practice. Prior to graduating, students complete hundreds of hours of off-site clinical rotation experiences in acute care and community settings as part of course work. Furthermore, the Decker School also houses an Innovative Practice Center. The laboratory space and equipment significantly expanded in 2005 with a $500,000 gift from the Dr. G. Clifford and Florence B. Decker Foundation. The center is the home to a family of human patient simulators including five Vital Sims, two Sim Men and one Sim Baby. The Center has become an integral component of the education each student experiences at the Decker School of Nursing.
The undergraduate and graduate nursing programs are accredited by the Commission on Collegiate Nursing Education (CCNE) through June 19, 2019. Upon completion of the undergraduate baccalaureate program, students are eligible to sit for the NCLEX-RN professional licensure examination.

NEW CUMBERLAND-Ralph Fletcher is a big man, with a big mustache and some big ideas about where he wants to take the Hancock County Sheriff's Department.
Fletcher, 60, of Weirton, won election Nov. 6 as the new sheriff and is preparing to succeed two-term Sheriff Mike White on Jan. 1. The transition, he said, will mean some changes for the department and for law enforcement in Hancock County.
"Our crime rate has increased considerably over the last 10 years, so we need to address that ... and that takes manpower," he said.

Fletcher said he's not in the position to increase the size of the department, for budgetary reasons, but he wants to make the best use of the talent he has. That may require some reassignments and additional training for deputies.
"We've got a really good, solid foundation here. I'm very pleased with their work output," he said, noting that he wants to take a good department and make it better.
Among the changes Fletcher is anticipating is the appointment of a new chief deputy and increasing the size of the detective division. Fletcher declined to say whether current Chief Deputy Todd Murray has applied, or been interviewed, for the position.
Murray, who has served as chief deputy for eight years under White, said he has interviewed for the position but doesn't know what the new sheriff's plans are. The chief deputy is the second-in-command and is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the department.
For the last 10 years, Fletcher has been special investigator for the Hancock County Prosecutor's Officer. Most of his 34-year career in law enforcement he spent at the Weirton Police Department-the last four years (1998-2002) as police chief. Upon his retirement, he took a position with Mountaineer Casino, Racetrack & Resort, where he helped set up an armed guard unit.
But it is his work with the prosecutor's office that he said is most relevant to his upcoming duties as sheriff. "I've been involved with all the felony investigations (in the county)," he said. "I'm very familiar with the crime we have occurring here and with the officers doing the initial investigation."
Fletcher believes it is his experience both in private- and public-sector law enforcement that won him the election, in which he defeated Republican challenger and fellow Weirton lawman Ronald P. Haggerty Sr.
"I felt I had a lot to offer our community, and I felt I was well qualified," he said. "I was able to convince the majority of the voters that I was well qualified." Being elected sheriff, he said, is the culmination of a lifetime in law enforcement.
As Weirton police chief, Fletcher was responsible for 40 sworn officers, 22 non-sworn personnel and an annual budget of $2.7 million. With the sheriff's department, he'll be responsible for 26 sworn officers, a process server, five tax office personnel, a jail administrator and a handful of clerical staff.
Fletcher said he wants to make some personnel changes, especially in terms of deputy deployment and growing the detective division. But, he said, "I'm not going in there and mixing things up there right away. ... What can we do with what we have?"
As for the day-to-day work of deputies, Fletcher said, "There's definitely room for improvement-from traffic stops to full-blown felony investigations."
Fletcher said he especially stresses the importance of "good follow-up, good follow-through" on cases.
Also on his to-do list early in his administration is getting out into the community and talking to the public about law enforcement priorities. Fletcher said he wants the department to focus more on community policing.
"Crimes are solved by the people in the community-by them feeling like they can come forward (to report crimes) and that it will be followed up on," he said.
As he stated during the campaign, Fletcher said his law enforcement priorities include drug crime, property crime and the connection between the two. "Almost all our property crime is tied to drugs-they go hand-in-hand," he said.

The Libertines are a British indie pop rock band fronted by Carl Barât and Peter Doherty. The band split up in 2004 after having trouble with Pete's drug addiction. The two other members are Gary (drums) and John (bass) who is now the frontman of a band called Yeti. They were an amazing band and most fans hope they'll get back together again someday although it seems very unlikely.
The Libertines used to be one of the best bands in England.

Dentists volunteer to offer free treatment
08 December 2005, 11:55
by Samuel Eyambe
Here is the final report of the results of our activity on the IVD 2005. We partnered with the Sudanese Oral Health Association, who came up with 12 dentists and 18 final year dental students from the University of Khartoum to volunteer. Two dentists supervised the medical camp.
Information had circulated in the neighbourhood that UNV was administering free dental treatment. The crowd we had on that day was too much to manage. We had a total of 212 patients registered of which 208 where treated. Since night was closing on us, we had to pack and leave the market place. Finally we were able to get back to Khartoum at about 18:45 with all the equipment from the university. As you will read from my report, there were various treatments carried out, including simple tooth extraction, wisdom tooth extraction, impacted tooth extraction and minor surgical procedures. Finally we were able to provide snacks to all the participating student and professional dentist volunteers.
We displayed and distributed posters, leaflets, pictures and models that demonstrate the common dental problems and the way to prevent them. Also, we focussed on the Toombak dipping hazards and other hazardous habits. The main objective was to increase the awareness of this local community, mainly among students and mothers. We distributed about 500 information leaflets in Arabic to our visitors.
Thanks a lot,
Samuel Eyambe

Despite stated label risks of possible fatal heart attack, stroke or organ failure, college football players across the country are still being given injections of a powerful painkiller on game days so they can play while injured, an ABC News investigation has found.
The drug, a generic version of Toradol, is recommended for the short-term treatment of post-operative pain in hospitals but has increasingly been used in college and professional sports, and its use is not monitored by the NCAA, the governing body of college sports.
Only two of the country's top football programs, Oklahoma and the University of Nebraska, reported to ABC News that they have limited or stopped the use of the drug in the wake of growing concern about its risks.
Oklahoma said it stopped using the painkillers in 2012 after using them repeatedly in 2010 and 2011.
Nebraska said its doctors now restrict its use.
"While team physicians reserve the option to use injectable Toradol, it is rarely prescribed, and its use has been avoided this season following reports of heightened concern of potential adverse effects," Nebraska said in a statement to ABC News.
The top two college football programs, Notre Dame and Alabama, refused to answer questions from ABC News about the painkiller. They play for the national college championship on Jan. 7.
Controversy surrounding the drug has grown this year following claims by former USC lineman Armond Armstead that he suffered a heart attack after the 2010 season, at age 20, following shots of generic Toradol administered over the course of the season by the team doctor and USC personnel.
"I thought, you know, can't be me, you know? This doesn't happen to kids like me," Armstead told ABC News.
The manufacturers' warning label for generic Toradol (ketorolac tromethamine) says the drug is not intended for prolonged periods or for chronic pain and cites gastrointestinal bleeding and kidney failure as possible side effects of the drug.
In addition, like other drugs in its class, the generic Toradol label warns "may cause an increased risk of serious cardiovascular thrombotic events, myocardial infarction (heart attack), and stroke, which can be fatal."
"This risk may increase with duration of use," the so-called black box warning reads.
In a lawsuit against the school and the doctor, Dr. James Tibone, Armstead claims the school ignored the stated risks of the drug and never told him about them.
"He was a race horse, a prize race horse that needed to be on that field no matter what," said Armstead's mother Christa. "Whether that was a risk to him or not."
Armstead says he and many other USC players would receive injections of what was known only as "the shot" in a specific training room before big games and again at half-time.
"No discussion, just go in. He would give the shot and I would be on my way," Armstead told ABC News.
Armstead said the shot made him feel "super human" despite severe ankle, and later shoulder pain, and that without it, he never could have played in big USC games against Notre Dame and UCLA.
"You can't feel any pain, you just feel amazing," the former star player said.
USC declined to comment on Armstead's claims, or the use of Toradol to treat Trojan players.
An ABC News crew and reporter were ordered off the practice field when they tried to question USC coach Lane Kiffin about the use of the painkiller.
Later at a news conference promoting the Sun Bowl, where USC was defeated earlier this week, Kiffin said he had no idea when or if Toradol was being used on his players, or about its risks.
"Well, if that was the case then, yeah, I did not know that until you told me," Kiffin said. "You educated me, thank you."
USC and Dr. Tibone have asked a judge to throw out Armstead's lawsuit, and in a brief interview with ABC News, Dr. Tibone denied any wrongdoing.
He said he could not comment on whether he failed to tell Armstead of the possible risks of the prescription painkiller, because of the pending lawsuit.
The team doctor did confirm to ABC News that he used Toradol to treat Armstead's pain and that he continues to use the drug on other USC players.

JOHANNESBURG, 16 September 2011 - The Director-General of the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO), Kandeh K. Yumkella, said today that meeting climate change goals requires nothing short of an energy revolution that would provide sustainable energy for all.
Speaking at a meeting of African Energy Ministers in Johannesburg, which is working towards improved integrated energy planning and ensuring the design and development of sound energy projects that can alter Africa's energy pathway, he said: "We cannot solve climate change without an energy revolution - they are interconnected. Although both are often portrayed in terms of challenges, there are also huge opportunities for Africa's economy and its people."
According to South African Energy Minister Dipuo Peters, only 42 per cent of the continent's population has access to electricity, with the rate for sub-Saharan Africa being as low as 31 per cent - the lowest rate of any region in the world. At a minimum, the Ministers aim to double the existing generating capacity in sub-Saharan Africa in the next 7 or 8 years.
Yumkella also emphasized that Africa will not be able to develop socially or economically without ensuring that all people have access to modern, clean energy services. This requires a clear focus on providing sustainable energy. He urged leaders to focus on practical energy projects, and set clear goals and targets at global climate negotiating forums and beyond.
The two-day conference, which ends today, adopted the Johannesburg Declaration, which includes an initial list of priority energy infrastructure projects.
The Declaration has identified a range of priorities, among them to dramatically expand access to modern, clean, high-quality energy services; develop energy security by scaling-up regional power supply and transmission; reduce climate change vulnerability; prioritizing clean energy; secure financial resources; and build the technology and innovation capacity.
Participants at the event also agreed to support the expansion of generation capacity with emphasis on regional projects; enhance funding for policy and institutional development activities; and cooperate closer on energy planning and international cooperation, as well as on regional trade and energy resource development.

The day after a Bills game is usually reserved for combing through problems that become clearer through time and video review. But, really, there wasn't much left to say Monday after yet another defeat. Dragging them through the muck feels dirty and unnecessary on Christmas, even for a petulant crank like me.
Let's gloss over the details against Miami and say the performance was unacceptable. It's fair to say serious changes are in order. Look at the bright side. They moved a step closer to replacing their coach and quarterback. They improved their draft position, which can be further upgraded with a loss to the Jets in the finale.
Thurman Thomas sent out a cryptic tweet after the game Sunday that suggested big changes were coming: "Can't share the news I just got," Thomas said, "but it is ON … And yes, it involves the #Bills." I'm not sure what it meant, if anything, but it sounded like good news, whatever that means.
The most inspiring message that came out of One Bills Drive last week wasn't the players' mission to save Chan Gailey's job or even the lease agreement that will keep the franchise in Orchard Park for at least another seven years. It was a clear push from lawmakers that the Bills need a new stadium.
Yeah, I know it's just an idea, and ideas rarely come to fruition in this town. I can still remember leaving Memorial Auditorium with the late, great hockey columnist Jim Kelley after the last Sabres game and discussing how it would take a decade for the city to tear down the decrepit old building. We were wrong.
It took 12 years.
Need we revisit all the sketches for the Peace Bridge and the waterfront? If there were championships for planning, Buffalo wouldn't need a Super Bowl or Stanley Cup. This is the only region where the federal government could set aside $6.1 million to move toll barriers and see $5.3 million flushed down in a drain of studies.
Note to lawmakers: All you need is a few construction workers, a few sheet pizzas and a few cases of beer.
In this case, it's not some half-baked pipe dream. The words "new stadium" wouldn't have been uttered without Gov. Andrew Cuomo's approval during the news conference last week. The Ralph will be 50 years old if the lease reaches its full term. Clearly, some big hitters on board were looking to stir the masses.
OK, gentlemen, you have me.
What's waiting in the next decade or less, assuming lawmakers get on the stick sooner than yesterday, is an opportunity. Taxpayers wonder how professional sports can boost an economy. Buffalo could ride the Bills toward revitalization if its leaders are creative enough and get enough government money and investors involved.
Yes, they are big IFs. But it can be done. A new stadium would come with a new long-term lease, complete with relocation penalties that make the current $400 million provision look like pocket change. It would all but guarantee their place in Buffalo — and that's Buffalo, not Orchard Park.
If it's uncomfortable and impolite to discuss life after Ralph Wilson passes, I'll discuss life in Western New York after my own death. The area has changed little in my 45 years. I would find peace knowing that the region was going in the right direction, particularly with the waterfront, long after I'm gone.
Pardon me for getting carried away, but allow me to think big and dream of a stadium along the lake, the Skyway torn down, the rail system extended, hotels and restaurants, shopping areas, recreational facilities and a new home for the Bills and for UB. Imagine a hot spot that would help resuscitate a region that has suffered for far too long.
The City of Buffalo controls the land. Poof, it's available. Local, state and federal government should want to get involved. Pittsburgh has thrived in the last 20 years. Cleveland came back from the dead. New stadiums alone didn't turn around either city, but they certainly helped the resurgence of both. They are two examples.
Why not Buffalo?
We get testy when people criticize Buffalo for the same reasons we don't like people picking on our brothers and sisters. Outsiders can't say anything negative about our town without severe backlash, but we sure can. It's our responsibility to acknowledge the truth. And the truth is that our downtown is embarrassing.
It's sleepy because people can get almost everything they need — pro football, good hockey, Division I sports, a great meal, shopping — in the suburbs. The stadium never belonged in Orchard Park. It certainly shouldn't be named after the team's owner when corporate sponsorship money is available.
How much would it cost for a new stadium? How long would it take to build? I have no idea, but we're not sending a man to Jupiter. Investors can be found in Buffalo and beyond. The math can't be that difficult. It can be done.
Some will want a dome along the waterfront. More will want an open-air facility. I want a retractable dome that can provide comfort and still embrace our climate, as it relates to football. Keep it closed on snowy days during the week, for practice and concerts and other events, but open the roof for football games and the Winter Classic.
Rep. Brian Higgins has pushed for tearing down the Skyway, among other things. Amen, brother. There's been talk of expanding the public rail system — if that what it's called — to UB's Amherst Campus. How about going in the other direction, too? There are miles of railroad tracks that extend through the old Bethlehem Steel plant and beyond.
UB for years has been looking to grow its sports programs. One drawback is UB Stadium, which looks like an oversized high school venue with the track surrounding the field. Temple, for example, played in the Mid-American Conference before getting back into the Big East. It now plays its games at Lincoln Financial Field.
We don't need Cowboys Stadium, either. We don't need the biggest or the best. We need what's best for Buffalo, the town and the team. And what's best for Buffalo is a modern jewel that can reinvigorate the region and help the product on the field. By the time it would be completed, much of the current Bills hierarchy will be gone.
The Bills are entering a new age with a new lease and new possibilities. Buddy Nix talks about the importance of continuity, but that only counts when it works. His is the kind of archaic thinking we could do without. In Buffalo, it has been a continuation of the same things that lacked success on all levels.
Is a new stadium the answer? No. It's part of the answer. It would be a victory for the Bills and a victory for Buffalo. It's time we face the facts. There hasn't been enough winning from either.

Excellent thrash metal band out of Massachusetts who did nothing but TOUR, TOUR, TOUR to get their name out there. A Shadows Fall show is never boring; frontman Brian Fair can never seem to stay in one place on stage. Just watch out for the massive dreadlocks.

A very in your face metal band from Massachussetts. I have seen them live many times and they are just amazing. They have some of the greatest solos and instrumentals I've heard in a long time. They have one flaw though. The vocalist(Brian Fair) sounds like he is trying way to hard and it does not sound natural. But besides that they kick fucking ass.
My favorite song by Shadows fall is "Stepping outside the Circle." It has one of the best solos I ever heard.

Will never be surpassed by any decade. The 00's have already lost. 70's weren't that good. The music and movies, great. The things that happened though, not so good. 80's is a close second.
Damn, I miss the 90's.

The best decade ever. It kicks the ass out of the 00's. Is in competition with the 80's.

One of the best decades ever. Some of the best comedy shows came out during this period: The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, Family Matters, Saved by the Bell, Rocko's Modern Life, The Ren & Stimpy Show, etc. The 90's were the golden years of Nickelodeon and comedy shows in general. Nowadays we have pathetic shows such as "Hannah Montana" and "Zoey 101".
"OMG!! Hannah Montana is about to come on in 10 minutes!!"

The greatest decade in the history of the world.....ever.
Dude, "Rocko's Modern Life", "All That" and "Are You Afraid Of the Dark?" are the most 90s TV shows ever.

Basically the best decade ever. I could be here for awhile listing reasons but here we go. One: Economy. It doesn't even come close to the shit hole of an economy we have today. Clinton was 1,000,000 times better than Bush (who is part of the reason we're in the shitter. Everyone was happy and having a good time. Second, overall media was better: tv, music, etc. Rap had true meaning and wasn't nearly as bad as the garbage today. The beats were original and they rapped about other things than getting money, fucking bitches, and getting ass-raped (that one was a joke but probably is happening.) Rock was awesome and it was actually a time where it was acceptable to like both rap and rock (because both were sick.) In fact, I have nothing to compare rock to because I don't even think they make it anymore. All the music today is auto-tune shit (because it actually doesn't take a good voice to become a singer anymore.) It gets worse and worse every year. TV sucks. What happened to those good 90's cartoons? There were replaced with shit like Hannah Montana and iCarly, in which case every episode is about boyfriend troubles. What happened to MTV? It's all fucking reality tv shows. I don't think anyone can pay enough to sit down and watch The Jersey Shore. Life is so centered around technology that people have almost become dependent. That is what will happen in the future if this keeps up. People can't go 1 second without their facebook, twitter, blackberry, you name it.

quote: apple is wildly profitable lately thanks to ipod, iphone , iPad, but big? No , not even close. With their high prices and closed platform they still risk fading fast as cheaper open platforms take over like pc did over mac in the 90s. If apple wants to play in the big leagues, they need to open up, branch out, make far more models with different features high and AND low end and lower their prices dramatically. Not impossible, but unlikely.

SHENANDOAH JUNCTION - The Buckhannon-Upshur Buccaneers' offense found a way to keep rolling.
The Bucs rallied for five goals in a span of 26 minutes in the second half to pick up a 7-0 shutout win over the Jefferson Cougars Saturday.
"Once we got the second or third goal, we were able to keep scoring," Buckhannon-Upshur coach Tom Hasbrouck said. "That's what we've done all year, and they keep going hard every play."

Jefferson's Jessica Shakesprere, right, chases the ball during the Cougars' game with Buckhannon-Upshur Saturday.
The Bucs outshot the Cougars 21-11 and had seven corner kick opportunities as they controlled the tempo of the match.
"We started strong. We played well against a good team," Cougars coach Katie Myers said. "Hats off to them as they did what they were expected to do."
Alayna Wright found Hannah Stankus on a pass to set up Buckhannon-Upshur's first goal of the match with 11:49 to play in the first half before a foul by Erin Beer gave the Cougars a penalty kick.
Kim Smith took the penalty shot for Jefferson, but it was saved by Kelsy Hinzman with 6:08 to play.
Two minutes later, Stankus found the back of the net for the second time in the match on an unassisted goal in the 36th minute to give the Bucs a 2-0 lead going into halftime.
Buckhannon-Upshur kept the foot on the accelerator in the second half.
Following an early own goal on a ball shot by Brooke Waddell that bounced off Morgan Vanderpool before reaching the net and another goal by Waddell, Stankus completed her hat trick following a Wright pass to give Buckhannon-Upshur a 5-0 lead.
Emily Godwin found the back of the net on a 25-yard shot after a corner kick had not been cleared to increase the advantage to six.
The Bucs capped their scoring with a Haley Ware goal on a header from a Godwin corner.

5 Archaic Forms of Punishment We Should Reconsider
Punishment is pretty standardized these days. We've got fines, and community service, and sitting on the naughty step/jail, and that's about it. Oh sure, there are a few backward countries that still practice corporal punishment or conduct executions ...
MicroWorks/iStock/Getty Images
"What? Who? Oh, I get it. Editorialization. Nice one, Cracked."
... but for the most part, punishment is pretty orderly these days, and even, gasp, respectful.
But holy shit did people from history have some different ideas for beating on miscreants. Below I've dug up five examples (and many more variations) of punishment civilization has left behind, which I encourage you to reflect on the next time you're feeling like you're about to be naughty.
(Also note that for the purpose of chuckle stimulation, I've opted to exclude punishments that are more accurately described as "torture." Although some of these are absolutely bonkers, there's only so many times you can look at images of mutilated genitals and still laugh. I've had too many columns killed by editorial for this reason to risk it again.)
#5. The Mark of Shame
I'll start with the one most familiar to us thanks to its semi-regular use in various Looney Tunes cartoons: tarring and feathering. Even if you didn't know what that was, it barely needs a description; it's all there in the name. You dump tar on someone. Then you dump feathers on them. The feathers stick to the tar, and when you're done, you've created a sort of sticky monstrosity, the sad and unlikely result of man/chicken slash fiction.
Meinzahn/iStock/Getty Images
"Hmm, if only I could think of something that rhymes with 'cluck.'"
The objective of this punishment is straightforward: to humiliate the punished and make them easily identifiable to anyone they encounter for the next few hours or days.
Wikimedia Commons
"No, no, I'm not a criminal. My mom was a bird and my dad was extremely sticky."
But really, tarring and feathering is just one example of the "mark of shame," something the punished is made to carry around to mark and humiliate them. Another example is the scarlet letter, as famously depicted in a book whose name I forget (Mary Poppins?), in which a woman accused of adultery is made to wear around a bright red "A" on her dress as a mark of how awesome she is. And of course there's the dunce cap we used to make stupid children wear, instead of the "teaching them better" technique we've adopted today. In postwar France, women suspected of collaborating with Nazis used to have their heads shaved. And during the Middle Ages, letters and other marks were burned into the flesh of a person for crimes like fighting or being homeless.
Ingram Publishing/Getty Images
Today's homeless have it so easy.
My favorite of these are the dedicated masks that some communities knocked together for the same purpose, which were often forced onto the heads of people accused of committing minor social crimes. These include things like the branks or Scold's Bridle ...
... which were placed on women who were considered "scolds," which I think meant gossiping, or even just talking when there were men in the room. Here's a charming German variant of this called the Shrew's Fiddle:
Flominator via Wikimedia Commons
And for the German town unfortunate enough to be beset by two troublesome women, they always had the option of making them resolve their differences.
Flominator via Wikimedia Commons
... while wearing something that looks like a prop from American Gladiators.
Finally, we come to my personal favorite, which was applied to the face of terrible musicians, the Flute of Shame:
CLI via Wikimedia Commons
"Terrible's a bit harsh. It was mainly because I opened my set with some of my new material instead of my actual good songs."
Can We Bring It Back?
Well, tarring and feathering seems like the kind of thing that would cause a lot of lawsuits these days. One complaint of "It got in my eyes," or "I have a poultry allergy," or "You poured hot tar on me and I died" would ruin the fun for everyone really quick.
Stockbyte/Getty Images
"Your honor, in my clients' defense, they thought it would be hilarious. That's a law, right?
Being funny is legal? I'm sure I've read that. Habeas ... Porcus?"
But that Flute of Shame thing. That looks like it has some potential. If you can't think of a musical artist deserving of wearing that around for a few hours, then you are a deaf saint. For the rest of you hearing non-saints, I invite you to fill the comment section below with suggestions for performers you think deserve a shame-fluting.
CLI via Wikimedia Commons
If we end up with anything less than 12,000 submissions for Pitbull, I will be shocked.
#4. Ducking Stool
Women have, historically, not always been treated very fairly. Also presently, I guess. And likely for a while yet in the future. Sorry, women. We should really do something about that.
SurkovDimitri/iStock/Getty Images
Every one of you go hug the nearest woman right now and whisper "We're sorry" into her ear. Doesn't matter if it's a stranger. Go on.
But it probably used to be worse, and if you were foolish enough to be a woman back in history times, you could have been subject to a whole bunch of unusual punishments if society determined you were behaving inappropriately. "Inappropriately" meaning "doing anything."
PeteKlinger/iStock/Getty Images
"And what evidence do you have?"
"I don't like her face!"
"She's a witch, next."
The ducking stool was one such punishment applied to women accused of having opinions, and was conceptually simple enough -- a chair to get strapped into, which was then repeatedly dunked into a body of water to both humiliate the offending woman and "cool down" her high spirits.
Wikimedia Commons
"No, fuck you, actually, this is definitely making me angrier. Fuck you fuck you fuck you fuck you
fBLUBLBLBLBBLBBUBuck you fuck you fuck you."
A variant of this was a cucking stool, which omits the dunking in favor of just being paraded around town or put in a public space while perched atop a chamber pot. A similar idea was the Stool of Repentance, which was a stool put in an elevated place in a church where people would be made to sit if they'd made God mad in some way.
Playing with someone else's pink bits was the main thing that made God mad in those days.
All of these are close cousins to the stocks and pillory, which you might be more familiar with, and the intent of these is obvious: to keep the punished person trapped in a public place to draw out their humiliation. By strapping them down in public, to be exposed to the three Fs of corrections, specifically fruit, furious insults, and feces, authorities could ensure that the punished knew they were very, very bad boys and girls.
Can We Bring It Back?
I would like to now take a bold stand and declare that it is a good thing that society has moved past dunking women for talking out of order. Even for more serious, actual crimes, the use of this type of public humiliation reeks of mob justice and exposes the punished to not just embarrassment, but actual harm from rowdy members of the public. And for the ducking stool itself, well, that's not a little bit dangerous, and oh, whoops, we've now murdered someone for their unpaid parking tickets.
Wikimedia Commons
-entire crowd winces and tugs their collars-
So no, we probably can't bring that one back either.
#3. Charivari
The charivari (sometimes called the shivaree or chivaree, depending on the location) is when a mob of people play loud music outside of someone's house, singing and banging on pots and pans and such.
Wikimedia Commons
"Guys, can we please do something other than cover songs?"
They do this to protest some social, often sexual sin they believe the occupants are committing. Unwed couple? Time for a charivari. A widow remarried someone too soon? Charivari her ass!
BrianBrownImages/iStock/Getty Images
Poorly tended lawn? Charivari, bitches!
This is an old punishment that started in small European towns, although it eventually made its way over to North America (with all those Europeans, I guess). It still survives to this day in some places, although now it's mostly used as a celebration of a newlywed couple.
Wikimedia Commons
-lengthy pot-and-pan-heavy version of Boyz II Men song-
Another variant on this is the skimmington parade, in which the punished persons were rounded up and made to ride backward on a horse around town. Skimmington parades were apparently used to mock a husband either for having an unfaithful wife or for having a wife who routinely beat him.
popovaphoto/iStock/Getty Images
The term "skimmington," no shit, comes from the traditional weapon women carry with them at all times.
Can We Bring It Back?
It's hard to get people motivated to form a mob these days for anything less than rock-bottom prices on brand name electronics. We very much mind our own business when it comes to other people's relationships and bedroom sports, and that's probably a good thing.
Emilie Duchesne/iStock/Getty Images
Still, it is nice to see a form of mob justice that doesn't end up with someone dead, so I'd suggest we resurrect this tradition, only apply it to a new breed of social ills. Let's start harassing couples who wear matching clothes, or who share an email address, or who feed each other in public or anywhere else.

The inauguration of UPAEP was undertaken on the 7th of May of 1973 at 1:00 p.m. at the grounds of the former "La Noria" ranch. The ceremony was presided over by civil and military authorities as well as members of the permanent city committee. Not only did a large number of students attend the event, but also a large number of people who sympathized with the project; owners of small local shops, community representatives, company businessmen, bank managers and the presidents of the commerce and industry associations.
Stemming from the serious ideological -political turmoil Puebla society underwent in the 60's and early 70's, UPAEP was a clear answer to a major need formulated by this newly changed society. It filled a great existing void in higher education in the city as well as gave a new value to the essence and mission of university institutions. UPAEP is a university with deep roots in the city of Puebla. It rose from the demands of the people, founded and supported by the society to give support to the development of our great nation from our small homeland.
The city was founded in 1531 in an area called Cuetlaxcoapan, which means "where serpents change their skin", in between of two of the main indigenous settlements at the time, Tlaxcala and Cholula. This valley was not populated in the 16th century as in the pre-Hispanic period; this area was primarily used to the "flower wars" between a number of populations. Due to its history and architectural styles ranging from Renaissance to Mexican Baroque, the city was named a World Heritage Site in 1987. The city is also famous for mole poblano, chiles en nogada and Talavera pottery. However, most of its economy is based on industry.
Being both the fourth largest city in Mexico and the fourth largest Metropolitan area in Mexico, the city serves as one of the main hubs for eastern Central Mexico. Many students come from all over the country. The city is also important because of its industry, with one of the world's largest Volkswagen factories outside of Germany located in the Municipality of Cuautlancingo. As a result, a many suppliers factories have opened in the city of Puebla.

LEETONIA - After a number of breaking and enterings in the past few weeks, police want the residents to call them regarding any suspicious activity they see while it's occurring.
Police Chief John Soldano said Tuesday there were five or six homes burglarized along with St. Patrick Catholic church and the old church school.
"They're focusing around Oak and Main Streets," Soldano said, explaining, "they're risking breaking in and stealing food out of those homes.
"One house had a small television on a kitchen counter and a PlayStation taken."
Soldano said that on Sunday night or Monday morning they entered through a window in the old church school where the food that is to be given away is stored but they only took a food basket with a couple of wine bottles.
"The freezers were full of meat and all kinds of food," he said, "but they only took the food basket" that was to be raffled off to raise funds for the food pantry.
Soldano would like to hear from anyone who has seen the food basket or has information that might help by calling 330-427-6731.
The burglaries are occurring in the early evening, he said.
"We haven't pinpointed a time, but it's after dark. We've got our investigator working and an agent from the Bureau of Criminal Identification and Investigation (BCII) helped get us fingerprints.
"We're getting a little concerned because from 6 p.m. on there could be somebody home," he said, "they've just been stealing miscellaneous food, it's hard to say if they're hungry or desperate, there's no MO (modus operandi), it's hard to say.
"It's ongoing ... if they're taking food it's probably kids."
He couldn't be sure but the entry through windows suggests a small person, Soldano said adding it appears they broke a window pane at the school on Sunday.
"It's a big deal," he said, explaining the break-ins cost homeowners money.
"People need to be aware of what's going on around them, anyone who is unfamiliar around the area, call us when it's going on and a officer can get down there" instead of the next day after they find out there was a break-in, he said.
