Joel Madden says he hopes he "didn't cause too much drama" after he was reportedly kicked out of his Sydney hotel Sunday after a housekeeper discovered a small amount of marijuana in his room.
There were no charges filed, according to both the Sydney Morning Herald and Madden himself, who addressed the incident on social media Tuesday.
The Good Charlotte singer Tweeted a link to his Tumblr account Tuesday morning, which included a matter-of-fact statement addressing the incident that occurred while the musician is Down Under serving as a coach on Australia's version of The Voice, which holds its season finale Monday night.
"Sunday while I was at work, a hotel employee found a small amount of marijuana in my hotel room. The police were called and responded," he wrote. "Sydney is my adopted home and I appreciate the way the NSW police handled the situation. They have informed me there will be no charges. I hope this didn't cause too much drama for anyone."
According to the Sydney Morning Herald, a cleaner at the Darling Hotel inside the Sydney Star casino found fewer than five grams of the drug in his room, and the police were contacted around 4:30 p.m. Sunday. They arrived several hours later. Madden was reportedly present while authorities searched the room.
The Sydney Morning Herald reports that although the investigation continues, he was not charged because Australian law permits authorities to issue a simple caution when only a small amount of drugs are found.
Madden was reportedly immediately asked to leave the hotel after the search, per company policy.
"He was not afforded any special treatment and he's moved out," a spokesman for Echo Entertainment, which oversees the casino/hotel where he was staying, told the newspaper.
The Herald Sun of Australia reports that both Madden and fellow judge Seal made the hotel their home away from home while serving as coaches on The Voice.
Madden is married to Nicole Richie. They have two children together: daughter Harlow, 5, and son Sparrow, 3½.

Altoona brothers Wes and Tyler McCloskey did not know they were both making the same life-changing decision when they separately began to fill out their applications to join the Peace Corps in 2009.
Wes, 31, was in Washington, D.C., working as a government consultant for Pricewater-houseCoopers, while Tyler, 29, was wrapping up a stint as a volunteer in the Americorps, the domestic Peace Corps.
The brothers became a support system and motivation for one another, Tyler said from his family's Altoona home Wednesday.

Wes McCloskey, who volunteered with the Peace Corps, builds gym equipment with help from local residents while serving in Madagascar.
Local children surround Tyler McCloskey while he is serving in the Philippines.
Tyler got back from the Philippines in October 2012, while Wes is still teaching English in Madagascar until May. He will return to serve a third year after a month home.
Their service was difficult at times - Wes was mugged at knife point and Tyler spent nine days in the hospital with pneumonia and was transferred after stumbling upon a government scandal.
"You get to test your mettle. It's an adventure, but it's not an easy one," Wes said in a Skype interview. "If you get through all of the hardships to do your work, it feels all the more rewarding. So the bad things kind of make the good things better."
Fact Box
Wes McCloskey
Age: 31
Education: Graduated in 2000 from Altoona Area High School; graduated in 2004 from George Washington University with a degree in international affairs and French with a concentration in conflict and security.
Peace Corps: Began teaching English in the southern region of Madagascar in March 2011. He will come home for a month in May and return for a third year, but in a different part of the country.
Tyler McCloskey
Age: 29
Education: Graduated in 2002 from Altoona Area High School; graduated in 2006 from the University of Pittsburgh, Greensburg, with a degree in English, writing and Latin American studies
Peace Corps service: Served in the Philippines for the Coastal Resource Management from August 2010 to October 2012.
Peace Corps details
Length of service is 27 months, which includes an average of 10 weeks of in-country training and 24 months of volunteer service. Applications are accepted on a rolling basis. The application process averages nine to 12 months.The minimum age for Peace Corps service is 18; there is no upper age limit. Volunteers must be U.S. citizens.

Before joining the Peace Corps, Wes was unhappy with the life he had carved out for himself.
"My job helped me make that decision," he said of why he joined the Peace Corps. "My life was getting really monotonous. I was working hard over weekends and holidays. I didn't have any huge obligations holding me back. I wanted adventure, a different kind of work. I like traveling, but there is a difference between traveling and living somewhere. I wanted to learn a new language, a new culture."
Tyler said joining the Peace Corps was always in the back of his mind to do, and serving in the Americorps fostered a sense of service in him.
The Peace Corps was established in 1961. Since then, more than 210,000 Americans have served in 139 host countries, according to the organization. Currently, there are 330 Pennsylvanians serving, and since the program was established, 7,618 have served from the Keystone state.
Tyler said the Peace Corps' goals for volunteers are to share their skills and American culture with the people they are serving, and share what they learn about the culture they are immersed in with Americans.
As he imagines most Peace Corps volunteers feeling, Wes had expectations, and the experience has not been exactly what he had anticipated, he said.
"It's difficult, but if you can get used to a new way of life, things will go a little more smoothly," he said.
Their mom, Margie, said she saw a change in him after he left. The first photos he sent back home showed a smiling man with the stress and dark circles erased from his face, she said.
"He just really looked happy," she said. "I think it's a great experience. I'm jealous."
Wes said he went to Madagascar to volunteer as a small business adviser, but ended up teaching English. He teaches a class in the morning and afternoons five days a week. Wes feels like he has become a good teacher through trial and error.
Day-to-day life takes so much more effort over there, Wes said.
Now, he washes his clothes by hand in a basin. He has to get water from a well, and to make coffee he builds a fire, boils the water, roasts the beans and grinds them with a mortar and pestle, Margie said.
He had to get accustomed to the cultural differences, too.
He tells humorous stories on his blog at www.route13south.blogspot.com/ where he writes about his experiences such as how male friends in Madagascar will hold hands, and natives will pop up for no reason at his door and just watch him, leaving him with little solitude in his off hours. But he has adapted, noting he is able to eat with an audience now.
Tyler said being the minority has its pros and cons. The people were interested in celebrities, and when he would tell them he was from Pennsylvania, some would ask if that was where Dracula was from, Tyler said.
The people are nice and helpful, and where he lives has a family atmosphere, Wes said of Madagascar. Tyler said Filipinos are known for their hospitality and are willing to invite a stranger into their home.
Tyler said he learned flexibility and adaptability through his experience stationed in the Philippines. He also learned three dialects and the Tagalog language.
Tyler studied abroad in Costa Rica in 2004 and Peru in 2006. After studying in Peru, he moved back to Costa Rica to get certified in Teaching English as a Foreign Language.
The McCloskey family, including their father, Wesley, and Wes when he could go, has also traveled to Mexico, Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Panama, Ecuador and Peru. Wes had studied abroad in Paris.
Tyler was with the Coastal Resource Management sector of the Peace Corps option in the Philippines. The other two options were education and a program for children, youth and family.
When someone applies for the Peace Corps, assignments are given based on one's skills, Tyler said. He had taught in the Americorps so he was ready for a change when given an option with the Peace Corps.
About halfway through his time in the Peace Corps, Tyler was transferred to another assignment location after stumbling upon a municipal government scandal.
He was stuck between information from where he was working and what he was learning from local fishermen, he said.
Tyler, who wants to become a travel writer, wrote about the experience as a traveling correspondent for the Matador Network, an online publication. He also wrote a story on prostitution in the Philippines.
His mom worried about his safety more than he did, he said.
In 2009, Peace Corps volunteer Kate Puzey was murdered in Africa after she told her organization superiors she believed a fellow employee was molesting female students, according to the ABC News website. In 2011, President Barack Obama signed the Kate Puzey Peace Corps Volunteer Protection Act, helping to "protect Peace Corps whistleblowers and improve the treatment of victims of violence and sexual assault," the website said.
After building a makeshift gym out of pipes and sandbags with rigged pulley systems for himself, Wes ended up sharing it with his neighbors, and building another gym in another location.
After raising money, Wes is also working to build benches for the schools. The task seems a simple one,but is also one that will make a difference, Tyler said.
Tyler's time in the Philippines gave him an appreciation for basic necessities such as water and food, he said.
The last project Tyler worked on was helping to establish a World Wide Opportunities on Organic Farms, which is a trend in tourism where travelers volunteer at farms in exchange for room and board.
One bit of advice for someone interested in joining the Peace Corps is they should be prepared to get sick, Wes said. And not just sick, but "third-world" sick, he said.
"They also must know they might not end up doing the type of work they want," he said. "I encourage people to look into the Peace Corps and apply for it, but they have to be willing to be very flexible and know that there is hardship involved. On the other hand, the work is very rewarding, you can learn a language, it looks great on a resume, it can open doors and it'll be a great life experience."

Health Effects Notebook
About Health Effects Fact Sheets
INTRODUCTIONThe chemical fact sheets contained in this notebook provide a hazard summary for each of the hazardous air pollutants specified in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. These brief summaries are intended to provide a quick reference for pertinent toxicity information and to indicate where more comprehensive and primary information can be found. This information is targeted to those concerned with toxic air pollutants at the State and local levels. The information in the fact sheets is summarized from U.S.Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) databases, and, where EPA data are lacking, information from other sources has been added for a more complete picture of possible toxicity concerns. The fact sheets should be used as one of many information sources for understanding a pollutant's human health hazard potential. In the case of listed compound categories, one or more representative compounds have been selected for the fact sheet summary.
The fact sheets do not represent EPA policy on health hazards and they should not be construed as constituting an EPA judgment about a hazard where a judgment does not already exist. In addition, they cannot be cited or quoted as a primary source of EPA health hazard information.
Also included is a glossary of health, exposure, and risk assessment terms and the definitions of acronyms used in the graphs that accompany the fact sheets, as well as a discussion of related terms frequently encountered in health, exposure, and risk assessments. Also available is a hazardous air pollutants' Fact Sheet chemical name and CAS number cross reference file, which contains an alphabetical listing of all the chemicals and their most common synonyms contained in this Notebook.
This health effects notebook contains fact sheets on hazardous air pollutants. These chemicals include volatile organic chemicals, chemicals used as pesticides and herbicides, inorganic chemicals, and radionuclides. Many of these chemicals are used for a variety of purposes in the United States today. Other chemicals, although not in use today, were used extensively in the past and may still be found in the environment.
These fact sheets were developed based on available human and/or animal data. The human data consist primarily of epidemiological studies, which are studies that examine the incidence, distribution, and control of disease in the human population. The primary type of epidemiologic studies used in the development of these fact sheets were occupational studies, which examined the effects of a chemical on a group of workers over time. The animal data are from studies that experimentally exposed animals to chemicals to observe and measure toxicity and disease development. These studies include effects data related to acute (short-term) exposures, subchronic (medium-length) exposures, and chronic (long-term) exposures.
The primary sources of information used to develop the fact sheets were EPA's Integrated Risk Information System (IRIS),(https://www.epa.gov/iris/index.html), a database that summarizes available toxicity data and contains EPA's assessment of the data, and secondary sources, such as EPA's Health Assessment Documents, EPA's Drinking Water Criteria Documents, EPA's Health Effects Assessment Summary Tables (HEAST), and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) Toxicological Profiles(http://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/substances/index.asp). In addition, databases such as the Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB), which contains summaries of peer-reviewed literature, and the Registry of Toxic Effects of Chemical Substances (RTECS), which lists toxic effects of chemicals and is not peer reviewed, were used.
Each bulleted piece of information on the fact sheet contains one or more reference numbers after it which correspond to the numbered references at the end of each fact sheet. Complete reference information is provided in the reference section of each fact sheet.
When available, numerical data are presented in the fact sheets. The numerical data presented are primarily those numbers that are found in the IRIS database. IRIS numbers are EPA- verified values; i.e, they have been subjected to extensive review by EPA scientists and a consensus was reached on their validity. These numbers include the Oral Reference Dose (RfD) and the Inhalation Reference Concentration (RfC) (see the Chronic Effects section) and the risk specific dose (see the Cancer Risk section). In addition, some numbers are presented that are not on the IRIS database; these numbers have not been subjected to the same degree of review and consensus as the IRIS values. These values are "provisional" RfDs and "provisional" RfCs (see the Chronic Effects section) and may be found in EPA's HEAST document. For some chemicals, numerical data are not available either on IRIS or in the HEAST document. The fact sheets for these chemicals simply present the available qualitative information.
The quality and decisiveness of the knowledge base underlying each of the agents portrayed in the fact sheets vary according to the abundance or paucity of high-quality health science data. The strength or confidence in particular hazard conclusions or inferences similarly varies according to the amount and quality of data and also according to the inherent methodologic generated uncertainties that go along with health hazard assessment. The overall effect of these circumstances is that each agent has its unique combination of uncertainty elements that are not explicitly listed in the fact sheets. A responsible user of these fact sheets must appreciate the implications of the underlying uncertainties, which take on more or less meaning depending on how the fact sheets are used.
The fact sheets focus on the health effects of each chemical in humans and laboratory animals (mammals). No information is presented on the ecological effects of the chemicals or the health effects in nonmammalian species. The ecological effects from exposure to toxic chemicals are an important area that EPA is currently addressing.
The fact sheets are organized as follows:
- Chemical name and CAS
- Hazard summary
- Environmental/occupational
- Assessing personal
- Health hazard
- Physical properties
- Uses
The chemical name and Chemical Abstract Service (CAS) registry number given on the fact sheet are the same as that used in the list of 189 hazardous air pollutants in the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. For listed compound categories, CAS numbers for one or more representative compounds have been selected.
The hazard summary is an overview of the key information provided in the Health Hazard Information section of the fact sheet. The major health effects of the chemical are presented in bold print.
Environmental/Occupational Exposure
This section contains information on how the general public may be exposed to the chemical, e.g., through water, food, or air, as well as information on occupational exposure. In addition, this section tells which chemicals have been listed as pollutants of concern to EPA's Great Waters Program and the reason for the listing. The purpose of the Great Waters Program is to evaluate the atmospheric deposition of air pollutants to the Great Lakes, Lake Champlain, Chesapeake Bay, and coastal waters. All of the pollutants of concern possess certain common characteristics, including persistence in the environment and the potential for long-distance transport.
This section describes the medical tests available to determine whether a person has been exposed to the chemical.
This section summarizes the key toxicology information on the chemical, emphasizing the inhalation (air) route of exposure. If available, oral and dermal (skin) exposure data are also presented.
Acute Effects
The results from acute animal tests and/or acute human studies are
presented in this section. Acute animal studies consist of LD50 and LC50
tests, which present the median lethal dose (or concentration) to the
animals. The results from these tests are divided into the toxicity
categories as shown in Table 1.
Acute human studies usually consist of case reports from accidental
poisonings or industrial accidents. These case reports often help to
define the levels at which acute toxic effects are seen in humans.
Oral LD50
<50 mg/kg
50-500 mg/kg

Classification Procedures, Part II. Federal Register
Chronic Effects
The results from acute animal tests and/or acute human studies are presented in this section. Acute animal studies consist of LD50 and LC50 tests, which present the median lethal dose (or concentration) to the animals. The results from these tests are divided into the toxicity categories as shown in Table 1.
Acute human studies usually consist of case reports from accidental poisonings or industrial accidents. These case reports often help to define the levels at which acute toxic effects are seen in humans.
This section summarizes the major chronic noncarcinogenic effects seen from exposure to the chemical. Chronic animal studies usually range from 90 days' to 2 years' duration. Human studies investigating effects ranging from exposure of a few years to a lifetime are also included. In addition, subchronic studies may be included in this section. Subchronic studies are usually animal studies of several weeks' to 90 days' duration.
The Inhalation RfC is presented in this section, with information on the critical effect and species upon which it is based. The RfC is an estimate (with uncertainty spanning perhaps an order of magnitude) of the daily exposure of a chemical to the human population by inhalation (including sensitive subpopulations) that is likely to be without deleterious effects during a lifetime of exposure. The RfC is derived based on the assumption that thresholds exist for noncancer effects; i.e., there is a level below which no toxic effects would occur. It is based on the available toxicological data, using uncertainty factors to account for data gaps such as experimental animal-to-human extrapolation and extrapolation to sensitive members of the population. The RfC is not a direct or absolute estimator of risk, but rather a reference point to gauge the potential effects. Doses at or below the RfC are not likely to be associated with any adverse health effects. However, exceedance of the RfC does not imply that an adverse health effect would necessarily occur. As the amount and frequency of exposures exceeding the RfC increase, the probability that adverse effects may be observed in the human population also increases. If available, the oral RfD is also presented in this section. The RfD is the oral equivalent of the RfC. EPA's confidence in the RfC and/or RfD is also presented in this section. EPA ranks each RfC and RfD as either low, medium, or high in three areas: (1) confidence in the study on which the RfC or RfD was based; (2) confidence in the database; (3) overall confidence in the RfC or RfD. All three rankings are presented in this section.
This section also includes a "provisional" RfC or "provisional" RfD, if available. A provisional RfC or RfD is generated in several ways. Often they are determined in the course of developing an EPA document on a chemical. Some have been generated through EPA's Work Group process and have been reviewed extensively but have not yet been put on the IRIS system. At the time each value was derived, all available information on the chemical was evaluated and the value was calculated using the most current methodology.
EPA's confidence in the RfC and/or RfD is also presented in this section. EPA ranks each RfC and RfD as either low, medium, or high in three areas: (1) confidence in the study on which the RfC or RfD was based; (2) confidence in the database; (3) overall confidence in the RfC or RfD. All three rankings are presented in this section.

Some have been generated through EPA's Work Group process and have been reviewed extensively but have not yet been put on the IRIS system. At the time each value was derived, all available information on the chemical was evaluated and the value was calculated using the most current methodology.Reproductive and Developmental Effects
This section presents the results of reproductive and developmental studies on the effects of the chemical in animals and humans. Examples of female reproductive effects include reduced fertility, a decrease in the survival of offspring, and alterations in the reproductive cycle. Male reproductive effects include a decrease in sperm count or an increase in abnormal sperm morphology. Developmental effects are adverse effects on the developing organism that result from exposure prior to conception (either parent), during prenatal development, or postnatally to the time of sexual maturation. Examples include altered growth, death of the developing organism, and malformations or birth defects. Reproductive and developmental effects may be observed after short-term or long-term exposure to the chemical because some effects can be attributed to one-time or short-term exposures during a critical biological cycle.
The results of available cancer studies in animals and/or humans are presented in this section. In addition, the EPA weight of evidence characterization of the evidence with regard to the chemical's potential to be carcinogenic to humans is included.
The cancer risk section also includes the inhalation unit risk for a chemical, which is the increased probability of a person developing cancer from breathing air containing a specified concentration of the chemical for 70 years. The inhalation unit risk is derived using mathematical models that assume a nonthreshold approach; i.e., there is some risk of cancer occurring at any level of exposure. The methods used to derive these values result in an "upper bound" estimate; i.e., the true risk is unlikely to exceed this value and may be much lower. The risk-specific dose, an estimate of the chemical dose corresponding to a specified level of cancer risk, is also presented in this section. The risk-specific doses corresponding to a one-in-a-million, one-in-a-hundred thousand, and one-in-ten thousand excess risk attributed to exposure to the chemical are presented. This means that EPA has estimated that, if an individual were to breathe air containing these concentrations of the chemical over his or her entire lifetime, that person would theoretically have no more than a one-in-a-million, one-in-a-hundred thousand, or one-in-ten thousand increased chance of developing cancer as a direct result of breathing air containing the chemical. The use of the risk-specific dose should include recognition of the weight-of-evidence.Physical Properties
This section provides the physical state (solid, liquid, or gas) of the chemical at ambient conditions, as well as solubility information and the odor threshold of the chemical (if available). The chemical formula, molecular weight, vapor pressure, and octanol/water partition coefficient are also provided in this section.Uses
This section presents the major uses of the chemical in the United States today. In addition, past uses of the chemical are summarized.
Following each fact sheet is a graph that visually presents the available health numbers, showing the concentration (on a logarithmic scale) at which effects have been noted. The numbers labeled as "health" on the graph are LC50 and LD50 numbers; the RfC, RfD, lowest-observed-adverse-effect level (LOAEL) and no-observed-adverse-effect level (NOAEL), which are the basis for the RfC or RfD; risk-specific dose levels, as cited in EPA's IRIS system; and the "provisional" RfC or RfD, as cited in EPA's HEAST document. Even though there may be other numbers cited in different sources, if there are no numbers in IRIS or in the HEAST document, the only health numbers included in the graph are LC50 or LD50 numbers. Relevant regulatory and advisory numbers are also included on the graph. Regulatory numbers consist of values that have been incorporated in government regulations, such as EPA and State air regulations or the Occupational Safety and Health Administration's (OSHA's) occupational standards. Advisory numbers are nonregulatory values that are provided by the Federal Government, State Government, or other groups as advice. Examples include EPA's Health Advisories and the American Conference of Governmental and Industrial Hygienist's (ACGIH's) threshold limit values (TLVs). The graphs present health data for inhalation exposure only. For those chemicals that lack inhalation data, a graph on health data from oral exposure has been included.
As discussed at the beginning of this Introduction, the fact sheets were developed using data presented in secondary sources and databases. Other sources of information used were chemical information sheets, such as the New Jersey Hazardous Substance Fact Sheets, and chemical textbooks, such as The Merck Index or the Handbook of Toxic and Hazardous Chemicals and Carcinogens. However, an exhaustive literature search was not performed for each chemical.There are many other data sources that may be used to find additional information on a chemical. A few key sources are:

When the Animal Planet reality fishing show Top Hooker ended late Sunday night, North Charleston fishing guide Patrick Crawford walked out of a viewing party at Finz Bar & Grill in Mount Pleasant and returned with a giant trophy.
What: Reality fishing show on Animal Planet that featured 10 contestants, all with fishing backgrounds, in elimination challenges that spanned eight episodes (animal.discovery.com/tv-shows/top-hooker.)
Winner: Patrick Crawford of North Charleston
Then "Captain Cocky," as he is sometimes known, spent the next 30 minutes posing for photos with friends and well-wishers, finally able to acknowledge he had emerged as America's Top Hooker. In addition to the trophy, he also won $30,000 cash and a new Chevrolet Silverado pickup.
Crawford, who runs Allure Fishing Charters (allurefishingcharters.com), said during that 30-minute period he received 90 Twitter notices, more than 100 Facebook messages and 76 text messages offering congratulations.
"I love it. If they'd let me do Season 2, I'd go tomorrow," Crawford said.
Crawford saw a Facebook posting about the show last summer and, along with fishing partner Derek McCardle, submitted a brief bio with photos. He then was asked to submit a video and was one of 40 who was asked to come to Los Angeles last August where they "did some skills tests, energy stuff."
Five days before filming began in mid-October, he received a call telling him to catch a plane and head to California. He would be unable to talk with anyone outside of the show, including his wife Breanne or their now 2½-year-old daughter Medda. All contestants and their families had to sign a $1 million confidentiality contract that they would not reveal what had transpired until the show, which aired Sundays at 10 p.m., ended.
"It's been amazing. I'm really happy he was chosen. We knew when it came about it was an opportunity he couldn't pass up. Having him gone and not bringing in any income, that was hard. But it was a once in a lifetime opportunity," said Breanne Crawford.
She said friends and family were continually pushing her, asking every trick question in the book in an effort to find out. And Crawford told friends "Do you think if I had won $30,000 I'd be running four charters a day?"
"We started (filming) a week and a half before Halloween and I got home at 9 o'clock at night the day before Thanksgiving," Crawford said. "When we got there, they took our cell phones, iPods, laptops, even books. They literally went through your bags. You get nothing."
For the most part, the anglers' fishing prowess wasn't showcased. The first challenge was diving into a tank filled with 15,000 goldfish and being asked to catch as many goldfish as you could using only your mouth. Another challenge was riding a zip line across the water and using a net to land tilapia. The challenge Crawford hated the most was rigging a remote control boat to catch a fish, an event in which he barely managed to avoid elimination.
Three contestants made it to Sunday's final episode, with the first challenge being to catch and land a fish and get it into a net while fishing atop a deer stand 10 feet above the water. Crawford caught a rainbow trout to become one of the two finalists. The event that made him champion was an offshore bottom fishing trip where, with help from a pair of teammates, he spent two days trying for the most weight. Thanks to an almost 50-pound shark, Crawford won the title.
Crawford said people thought there would be a lot of backstabbing, similar to the show Survivor, but it didn't turn out that way, and he considers the nine other contestants close friends. He talks to them and texts them regularly and said they are planning a reunion.
Crawford hopes winning this will enable him to live another dream, hosting his own fishing show. He did 13 shows last season, not counting Top Hooker, with other hosts. Crawford said he has purchased equipment and soon will begin filming. He said it's a goal he has had for years and this will be a stepping stone. And there is the recognition factor, which Crawford said has been humbling.
"It's not the adults, but all the kids notice me," Crawford said. "They will come down to the boat and say 'Dad, I told you so. That's him.' That's what I get a kick out of. I pick up my customers in Shem Creek, and I was coming under the bridge and there was some guy yelling out 'Top Hooker!' Wow."

Although she said only last week, "I've been married twice, so that's been there, done that," Eva Longoria is by no means completely ruling out putting on a wedding dress for a third time.
"I didn't say I would never get married again," the 38-year-old, addressing the comments she made to Access Hollywood, told PEOPLE at Saturday's Eva Longoria Foundation Dinner in Hollywood.
"There's nobody in the works now," she clarified. "So, it's not really on my mind. It was very misconstrued."
In the same interview last week, Longoria touched upon prospective motherhood: "I don't think if I'm 50 and single – I'm not going to go and [have a baby] by myself," she was quoted as saying.
But according to actress Ana Ortiz, star of the Longoria-produced Lifetime show Devious Maids, Longoria is maternal by nature.
"She's our mother," insists Ortiz. As for no actual little Longorias, Ortiz adds: "Yes, it is a loss for the world. But whatever makes you happy as a woman, you have to follow your own destiny."
Not that the Devious Maids set will be childless. Since costar Dania Ramirez just announced she's pregnant with twins, Longoria and the other women will "get to be the aunties," says Ortiz. "We'll be squishing them and spoiling them."
In fact, says Ortiz with a laugh, "I'll be surprised if [Dania] holds the babies at all."

Two Logan Township houses in an area zoned for single-family dwellings can be rented to Penn State Altoona collegians.
The township's Zoning Board voted 2-to-1 Thursday to grant a variance for 113 and 121 Lawn Lane, in light of the location being a dead-end privately owned road, near three additional houses currently rented to collegians. The area is accessible via Penn Avenue, off Grandview Road.
"In this particular situation, I think this was the right decision," zoning board Chairman Art Wood said.
"Where those houses are located, everything around them is student housing," said zoning board member Wesley Barnhart, who voted yes.
The decision was rendered after the zoning board heard from representatives of Durbin Enterprises and Grandview Road resident Kay Winkler on behalf of the Township Residents Against Student Housing. If the variance is granted, it will only encourage more student rentals, Winkler said.
Zoning board member Andrew MacMillan, who voted against the variance, agreed with the risk.
"We'll get more [requests] because others will use this as a precedent," MacMillan said. "It has to stop somewhere."
Harrisburg attorney James Diamond and Brian Durbin of Durbin Enterprises told the zoning board that the houses at 113 and 121 Lawn Lane were previously rented to collegians. That practice stopped in 2009 when the township began enforcing an ordinance prohibiting student rentals in the R-1 residential zoning district limited to single family homes.
Three nearby houses are also in the township's R-1 district, but their longer rental history allowed them to be excluded from the 2009 enforcement measures.
Durbin said he has tried to rent 113 and 121 Lawn Lane but finds it difficult to attract tenants.
"Obviously they're concerned with the students and the student activities," Durbin said.
Winkler said the houses were family homes long before Penn State Altoona's expansion.
"This is a perfect example of how student housing can ruin a neighborhood," she said.
Diamond also provided the zoning board with a copy of Judge Hiram Carpenter's 2010 ruling in an appeal filed by Nunzio Jr., Cynda and Brian Rehm who wanted a variance to continue renting a house on Juniata Gap Road to collegians. The township zoning board denied the request and pointed to the location being a mix of student and non-student houses.
Carpenter overturned the board's decision and said that without the variance, the property becomes a single-family dwelling that no one would want.

INCLINE VILLAGE, Nev. - Watching the flow of money into and out of Exchange-Traded Funds (ETFs) says a lot about investor psychology. In previous years there was a flow into bond funds. More recently there was a mass exodus out of gold funds. Now, money is going into "low volatility" ETFs.iShares, the biggest ETF player, announced that its four low volatility ETFs have gathered over $4 billion in assets. Other ETF providers are taking note. State Street Global Advisors and PowerShares recently introduced their own low volatility ETFs.What exactly are low volatility ETFs? They are equity funds that are designed to only hold stocks with below average volatility. For example, the PowerShares S&P 500 Low Volatility Portfolio (SPLV) holds the 100 stocks within the S&P 500 that exhibited the lowest volatility over the previous year. These funds are helping nervous investors reenter the stock market.Just because the funds say "low volatility" doesn't mean they are risk-free, however. These are equity funds and they'll rise and fall with the overall stock market. They tend to overweight certain sectors (drug, telecomm, financial, utilities), which reduces diversification.The marketing department did well by calling these funds "low volatility." This name helps investor comfort. In my view, however, these funds are the same as dividend ETFs. Low volatility funds and dividend funds typically hold the same securities because dividend paying companies tend to exhibit lower volatility. Low volatility ETFs are new but over time I expect we'll see a high correlation between these two categories. Whether you buy low volatility or high dividend ETFs, you should do well. That's because those in need of income are moving to dividend-paying stocks. Large-cap dividend paying stocks are in the sweet spot. This is the theme today, and it will be the theme as we move forward.- David Vomund is an Incline Village-based fee-only money manager.

LOCKPORT – A North Tonawanda man, caught by police outside his ex-girlfriend's home May 18 in violation of an order of protection, accepted a plea deal Tuesday in Niagara County Court.
Thomas L. Jay, 42, of Schenck Street, pleaded guilty to first-degree criminal contempt of court and was scheduled for sentencing Dec. 11 by County Judge Matthew J. Murphy III.
Assistant District Attorney Cheryl L. Nichols said she wouldn't object to a defense request for the minimum sentence, which for Jay, a second-time felon, is 1½ to three years behind bars.
The deal also called for prosecutors to dismiss charges from Jay's April 25 arrest involving the same woman, and to set aside possible charges regarding harassing phone calls to her from the County Jail.

The 6 Most Needlessly Dangerous Jackie Chan Stunts
#3. 21-Story Skyscraper Slide from Who Am I?
This is another film written and directed by Jackie himself. Maybe you can blame the following two sentences on the chunks of his brain that fell out during his Project A skull injury, but here goes: In Who Am I? Jackie Chan plays a character named both "Jackie Chan" and "Who Am I?" He loses his memory after special forces attack a meteor, and he joins an African tribe and a rally car race before stopping an international space weapon smuggling operation staffed entirely by kickboxers. So crumple up that screenplay you're working on, awesome 8-year-olds. Jackie Chan already made it.
Although "story" seems like such an inadequate word for it, the story of Who Am I? culminates with Jackie in a fistfight at the top of a Rotterdam skyscraper. He drops an important disk off the roof and knows his only chance at getting it back is sliding 21 stories down the side of the building. When Jackie Chan, the actor, saw the leap that his character, Jackie Chan, was supposed to make, he had two words to say. The first one was "SHIT." Obviously. The second one was "YES," but it took him two weeks to say it. That's how long the world's most derangedly brave man took to work up the nerve to do this stunt.
Why Was It Unnecessary?
This was an unassisted free fall down a skyscraper. In 1997, there were any number of safety harnesses or camera tricks that could have been used to create the effect of a man sliding off a building. Well, safety harnesses and camera tricks are how cowards applicate their tampons. That being said, would it really have been cheating if someone had put a crash pad or two in the place Jackie was very, very likely to tumble off to his doom? And speaking of tumbling, he spent the entire fall doing unneeded somersaults and twists. He even stood up and scampered on his feet for a bit. Maybe he thought a semi-controlled slide down a skyscraper was too dull? Maybe he saw the Grim Reaper on the way down and had to dodge him? I honestly don't know, but it must take a team of groundskeepers three days to shave the entire surface area of Jackie Chan's balls.
You crazy, crazy fucker.
#2. Rolling Over a Circular Saw from Mr. Nice Guy
In Mr. Nice Guy, Jackie Chan plays a martial artist named Jackie, because at this point in his career, he figures you're not paying attention to the parts between the fights and the stunts. Plus with all the drugs, kicking, and sassy female reporting in Mr. Nice Guy, a main character named Jackie helps remind viewers that it's not a Jean-Claude Van Damme film.
Are you positive? I sure feel like I'm in a Jean-Claude Van Damme film.
The grand finale of the movie involves Jackie driving over a drug dealer's house in a 120-ton dump truck, but the most memorable stunt takes place on a 24-inch table saw.
Jackie is fighting a construction site full of men and finds himself being fed crotch-first into a real, whirring circular saw -- and that's not even the unnecessary part. That comes moments later with this:
Why Was It Unnecessary?
He barrel rolled over a fucking sawing table saw. By now you know enough about Jackie Chan to know that turning it off or replacing it with a fake blade was not an option, but why roll in that direction in the first place? Let's examine the scenario:
Try to make the decision from Jackie Chan's perspective. On your right are three already defeated enemies and one tiny man who has proven to be no match for you over the course of many unanswered face punches. On your left is the spinning saw blade that was recently screaming against your nuts. OK, it looks like you're about to go left, so let me remind you that if you choose that direction, you'll at best land in a splintery pile of debris and at worst be chewed into liquid. You're still doing it!? Fine, but at this point, it feels like you're mocking Death for the sheer sport of it.
I talk about Jackie Chan's balls, but you have to admire the henchman who still charges in after all his co-workers have been kicked to sleep.
#1. Hot Pepper Fistfight from Project A Part II
By far the most needlessly painful stunt in Jackie's career happened during Project A Part II. He was losing a fistfight, so he evened the odds by chewing up hot peppers and spitting the juice onto his knuckles. You probably already know what I'm about to say, but the goddamn hot peppers were real. Jackie Chan is so unnecessarily Method that he pays his father's palm a dowry before asking his own hand to masturbate.
Why Was It Unnecessary?
Judging by this, it looks like it might be easier for an actor to pretend he's been hit in the eye with hot peppers when he hasn't actually been hit in the eye with hot peppers.

I have had a great week so far, sat on the beach all day Sunday, Tuesday, and today, played golf on Monday and we are playing again tomorrow, followed by another day on the beach Friday and Saturday before driving back to Baltimore.
Sunday I will head up to New Jersey for our last camp of the summer in Bay Head. This is where our very first camp is and it is always a great time. THe weather is ususally pretty hot, but we are at the beach and it is great to be able to jump in the ocean between sessions. After a week of camp, I will drive back to Baltimore and then fly to Hawaii for 2 weeks. The only downside of going to Hawaii is that I am missing the Ocean City Tournament. This is a tournament that I have played in every year but one over the last 10 years (2006 MLL Championship Weekend with the Outlaws) and the first one I am missing going to. I think I will be able to get over it relaxing on the beach in Hawaii though.
It has been a long summer with a lot going on, but I wouldnt have it any other way. I hope that everyone is doing well. I will check in soon……………..

I love growing my own lettuce since nothing makes me feel more like a gardening goddess than harvesting fresh lettuce and creating beautiful salads when entertaining family and friends.
Lettuce (Lactuca sativa) is an annual crop related to sunflowers. It prefers cool soil and air temperatures, growing best between 45 and 65 degrees. Warm weather will create bitter-tasting leaves and cause the plant to bolt, which means that it will complete its short life cycle more quickly, sending up flower stalks, creating seeds and dying. Fortunately, slow-bolting and heat-resistant varieties are available.
I usually grow leaf lettuce, which is the easiest of all the lettuce types to grow. This lettuce allows gardeners to cut and come again, meaning you can cut the outer leaves and allow the rest of the plant to grow for later harvesting.
According to one Clemson vegetable expert, leaf lettuce basically needs only to be planted and harvested. Leaf lettuce also is beautiful with chartreuse greens, ruby reds and frilly leaves that look gorgeous paired with parsley, pansies and snapdragons in the winter landscape.
Favorite heat-tolerant varieties include heirlooms such as Black Seeded Simpson and frilly Lolla Rosa and one of my favorites, fancy All-America Selections winner Red Sails.
Butterhead and Bibb lettuce also can be easily grown. They form loose heads that are harvested all at once. Romaine, or Cos lettuce, is easy to grow and very nutritious, and there is even an heirloom variety called Parris Island Cos.
For an exciting culinary experience, try growing a mesclun mix. These are custom seed blends that typically include several leaf lettuce varieties along with spicy or sweet greens such as kale, mustard, radicchio, endive or arugula combined with cool-season herbs. Mesclun mixes are designed for harvesting while the greens are young and tender, much like store-bought spring mixes.
All varieties of lettuce work well in containers and make harvesting easy. While they look great in traditional containers, they are also quite pretty in up-cycled or repurposed vessels. Scour the garage, attic or even the kitchen to find unusual planters that will hold 4-8 inches of soil, ensuring that drainage holes can be added. Once you have confirmed that the container will drain adequately, fill it with good quality bagged potting mix and sow seeds according to the directions on the package. Water well and, in 50-75 days, you will have fresh salad fixings at your fingertips.
Planting season
If you plan to grow lettuce in your garden and havent started yet, there is still plenty of time. For a spring harvest in the Lowcountry, Clemson recommends starting lettuce from seed between Dec. 5 and Feb. 20.
One thing to keep in mind is that lettuce seeds need light in order to germinate. When sowing seeds directly in the garden, cover them lightly with bagged potting media (instead of heavy garden soil) or do not cover them at all, but lightly press them into the soil to ensure good contact.
Lettuce, like most vegetables, thrives in soils with a slightly acidic pH (5.8-6.5) and rich in organic matter. Clemson Extension vegetable specialists recommend applying 5-10-10 fertilizer at 3 pounds per 100 square feet before planting if you have not done a soil test. They also recommend that home gardeners fertilize lettuce once during the growing season with a nitrogen-rich fertilizer such as 33-0-0 at 1 pound per 100 feet of row, or calcium nitrate (15-0-0) at 2 pounds per 100 feet of row.
All lettuces need consistent moisture during the growing season and should be harvested in the morning when leaves are plump and flavorful. Be sure to avoid harvesting water-stressed lettuce.
While lettuce can survive fairly cold temperatures, gardeners may need to protect new seedlings to avoid drying winds.
Inexpensive cloches, or covers, can be made by cutting the tops off of empty plastic soda bottles (one- or two-liter bottles work best) and turning them upside down to cover the plants.
When forecasts predict extremely cold nighttime temperatures, you also can create wire hoops that can be covered with plastic or spun-bond freeze blankets before nightfall. Dont forget to remove the covers in the morning to allow the soil to absorb warmth from the sun without overheating.

MINERVA - For the better part of 48 minutes, Salem and Minerva fought tooth and nail under the lights of Dr. Robert H. Hines Stadium.
However, a four-minute flurry resulting in two turnovers and three Minerva touchdowns sent the Quakers to a 31-19 loss.
"I think we outplayed them in a lot of phases of the game," Salem head coach Ron Johnson said. "We continue to grow, our offensive line continues to grow. We did a lot of things very well, but we're still not able to overcome the big mistakes."
Penalties put an end to each team's first possession of the evening.
On their ensuing drive, Salem opted to keep the ball on the ground and did so successfully, but a holding penalty forced the Quakers into a third-and-long situation that they couldn't overcome.
"We've got to continue to stay ahead of the chains," Johnson said. "I'm not saying we have to play a perfect game to win, but we were playing a great team game in the first half. Our offense was dominating the time of possession. Defense was playing good and getting them behind the chains."
The Quakers attempted just two passes in the first quarter, establishing a rushing attack that took advantage of the Lions' three-man front.
Salem and Minerva entered the second quarter knotted at zero, but the offenses began to heat up.
After being held to just 34 yards of offense in the opening frame, Minerva rattled off 201 yards of offense in the second quarter alone. On the Lions' first drive of that second quarter, it took them just two plays to find points as Dalton Hartshorn took a handoff from quarterback Josey Riley around the left side and raced 70 yards to the end zone for the score.
The resilient Quakers didn't take long to answer, beginning with an electrifying return from Marcus Crittenden that set Salem up deep in Minerva territory.
Two plays later Trace Jenkins dropped back lofted a 30-yard touchdown pass to Brendan Webb that hit him in stride he crossed the goal line.
"They played that three stack; they roll that boundary player over to a hash so it opens up the boundary," Johnson said. "So we run it to the boundary and got him to come down and we can throw it over his head. And we did, we did it for a score."
Minerva wasn't fazed by the quick answer from the Quakers, and struck back with a big play of their own. On the Lions' ensuing possession, on a fourth and four, Riley dropped back and found Hartshorn streaking down the seam for 56 yards and a score.
"We were on the headsets and we wanted to score (before halftime)," Johnson said. "We thought if we can go down and score it's great. If not, it's 13-6. And then they score twice."
Over the final four minutes of the first half the Lions caught the Quakers off-guard twice when they pooched the kickoff and found themselves with the football. What they did with those turnovers, two touchdown runs by Air Force commit Jake Riley, effectively separated themselves from the Quakers with a 25-6 lead at the break.
Hartshorn caught his second touchdown of the evening in the third quarter with 19 seconds to play from Josey Riley.
Salem fought back again in the fourth quarter, and for the third time in as many weeks, Haedan Panezott broke loose with a big play. This time on the receiving end of an 80-yard touchdown pass from Trace Jenkins.
Panezott caught the pass from the slot over the middle of the field and weaved his way to get to the edge at the near sideline. With two defenders within an arms reach, Panezott turned on the speed in a foot race he often doesn't lose.
"He's a good player, he's strong," Johnson said. "Pound for pound he's our strongest guy. He's fast. He plays hard. He has that burst and you can see it on that play. Haedan is football fast."
The Quakers added another score late in the fourth quarter on a 36-yard touchdown pass from Jenkins to Webb to cap the scoring.
"I'm very proud of them," Johnson said. "They played well, and they played hard. We did some things that people didn't think that we could do which was rush the football. We converted short yardage plays."
Salem (0-8, 0-5 NBC) hosts Louisville Friday.

LEWISTOWN After nine musical competitions, seven DJs, nine gift raffles, three dance lessons, one guest speaker and 24 hours of dancing, the Dance Your Heart Out marathon, sponsored by the Friends of Lewistown Hospital, raised more than $4,000 for the congestive heart failure department.
"The money will go toward educational materials and necessary resources for people living with heart failure," said Julie Maidens, a member of the dance committee and nurse navigator for the CHF department. "I'd like to thank the dance committee for donating their time and all the dancers who came out and dedicated 24 hours to the cause."
The marathon began at 10 a.m. on Saturday and the teams were full of energy, ready to dance their socks off for a great cause. Dancing for 24 hours is hard, but it's important for participants to remember why they volunteered in the first place, said Kris Fisher, a member of team Vicious and Delicious.

"I wanted to participate in the marathon because it's such a good cause," Fisher said. "I plan on going into the medical field in the future and I think it's important to help others when you can."
Kaitlyn Snyder, a member of the Potter Jays team, danced in the marathon because she lost a member of her family to congestive heart failure. Snyder's team, a group of friends from Mifflin County Middle School, raised roughly $500 for the cause.
However, by 8 p.m., 10 hours into the marathon, the 80 participating dancers had lost some of that fresh energy. Rather than busting a move, most teams could be found in small circles on the dance floor, bobbing their heads to the beat.
"We can't really dance anyway," said Brand Brackbill, a member of the Dance Time team. "We mostly just move, hope no one is watching and stay in a circle."
How did the team plan to make it for 14 more hours? By drinking lots of caffeine, taking secret naps and sacrificing unlucky team members to the dance floor for the good of the group, said Brad Strawser, another member of Dance Time.
Loren Horton, a member of And The Beat Goes On team, took a break at the team table while waiting for the next themed dance hour.
"So far our team seems to be doing pretty well," Horton said. "We loved the swing dance hour and now I'm looking forward to learning some Zumba. Hopefully, that will give us some energy."
Horton was also motivated by guest speaker Pastor John Walters, from Bible Baptist Church, who discussed his experience with congestive heart failure. Walters talked about how his father died from a massive heart attack and how he and his family have worked to eliminate heart failure through fundraising for the American Heart Association.
"It was really moving to hear his story and realize just how important the cause is," Horton said. "It reminded me why I was here and got me back on the dance floor."
By the early hours of Sunday morning, only the truly dedicated or completely crazy remained to represent their teams, some having dwindled largely in numbers.
"I crawled under one of the tables to take a short nap so I could get through the rest of the morning," said Alyssa Hanford, a member of the Potter Jays. "But I'm ready to finish the dance marathon strong. I would definitely do it again next year."
The final marathon hour was concluded with a rendition of the Dance Marathon theme song, in which every remaining dancer participated. Team Dance Time then received an award for being the team that raised the most money-more than $1,300 for the CHF department.
"I really think this event was such a success," Maidens said. "The kids had a great time and all the planned activities went really well. I'm hoping that next year will be even bigger and better."
The Dance Committee will start planning the next Dance Your Heart Out marathon almost immediately, Maidens said. That way, everything will be finalized earlier and teams will have more time to recruit members and fundraise, she said.

It seems like decades ago that Nick Lachey and Jessica Simpson were the first couple of reality TV – but on Tuesday's Watch What Happens Live, host Andy Cohen couldn't seem to forget!
When Lachey, 39, and the rest of 98 Degrees visited Cohen's talk show, the singer's ex-wife and her family were hot topics.
During "Plead the Fifth," a question-and-answer game Cohen plays with celebrity guests, who can stay silent rather than answer an uncomfortable question, the subject of Simpson's father, Joe, came up.
Cohen asked, "What is the best thing about no longer having Joe Simpson as a father-in-law?"
Nick's brother, Drew, quickly interjected, "Everything!"
"What is the best thing about not having Joe Simpson as a father-in-law ... I don't have to play grab a–– under the table on Easter Sunday," Nick said with a laugh.
"I am blushing!" Cohen remarked.
"Our publicist is freaking out right now," Drew, 36, said.
"That's very funny," Cohen said.
"It may not be tomorrow, but it is tonight," Nick said.
Earlier, Cohen asked if Lachey ever reminisces by watches Newlyweds: Nick and Jessica, the three-season reality series that followed the couple as they struggled to make their marriage work.
"Wow. Is this the part where I can plead the Fifth? It's been years [since I've talked to Jessica]. Years. Honestly, probably six years," Lachey said. "It was like another lifetime ago."
"I have not. As you can imagine, that's not popular viewing in my house. We don't sit around as a family and watch the old DVDs," he said with a laugh. Lachey and Simpson, 32, ultimately divorced in 2005, after three of marriage.
In 2011, Lachey married Vanessa Minnillo, and the couple welcomed son Camden John in September of 2012.

Chambliss Interviewed on NYU Radio Station

Daniel Chambliss, the Eugene M. Tobin Distinguished Professor of Sociology, was interviewed on WNYU, New York University 's radio station, about his and his former student Chris Takacs' new book, How College Works. The April 28 interview addressed how students can get the most out of college. Chambliss also described the ten-year study of nearly 100 students from high school years to five years after college graduation that he and Takacs conducted.

As a Penn State graduate who has been a football season ticket holder for 44 consecutive years, I am quite pleased that the Maxwell Football Club has chosen to honor the Nittany Lion senior football players with the Thomas Brookshier Spirit Award on March 1.
Most of the country's sports enthusiasts, especially the national media, figured this team would be lucky to win three or four games at best.
Most are now treating this eight-win season as a miracle of Biblical proportions. I'm sure that's why the Maxwell Club decided to honor this fine group of student athletes in this fashion.
Ron Jaworski, president of the Maxwell Club, said he was astonished by the performances of these senior athletes. Interestingly, a vast majority of Penn State alumni like me were not the least bit surprised. Why might you ask?
These Penn State seniors were recruited and coached by one Joseph V. Paterno. This is the same Coach Paterno whose Grand Experiment consistently turned out similar high-character young men each year of his sterling career.
Ironically, this is the same Joe Paterno who had his name stricken from the Maxwell Club Coach of the Year Award in November of 2011.
Much like the Big Ten and others, the Maxwell Club rushed to judgment without the benefit of due process.
During the March 1 awards ceremony, I would suggest that Paterno should be given some credit for this team's amazing performance in light of the unfair NCAA sanctions they were required to endure.
I believe Coach Bill O'Brien would be the first to say that he inherited an outstanding group of seniors, all of whom exhibited "Success with Honor," on which he could begin building his own legacy at Penn State.
How could the Maxwell Club best honor these Nittany Lions on March 1? Announce that Joe Paterno's name is being rightfully restored on their Coach of the Year Award.

Lubrano's right:?Joyner shouldn't be AD
I applaud Anthony Lubrano's recent call to prevent David Joyner from becoming Penn State's permanent athletic director.
Joyner's temporary appointment, which carries with it a monthly salary of $33,000, is a perfect example of the cronyism that continues to plague the the Board of Trustees.
University leaders and their friends should not profit personally from their positions of power. But after helping to orchestrate one of the worst public relations disasters in the history of corporate America, Joyner's colleagues handed him prominent job with a whopping $396,000 salary.
Like the other trustees who presided over the Sandusky crisis last year, he should be long gone by now. Instead, Joyner is expected to remain in his position through 2014.
Meanwhile, the culture of corporate cronyism that put him there prevails.
Nine months ago, I proposed ethics rules that, among other things, would prevent Penn State trustees from being hired by the university until they've left the board for at least a year. The idea isn't new. State politicians and employees have faced the same restriction for years.
So why is it such a hard concept for trustees to grasp?
Since the Sandusky crisis, Penn State has done nothing to prevent similar conflicts of interest from recurring. Lubrano wants to change that. Hopefully his fellow trustees will follow suit.

Bring back Band Day
I marched in the high school band and have fond memories of going to old Beaver Field (the one by the Nittany Lion Inn) and marching in Band Day during at halftime and then in a long parade through State College.
With all of the empty seats now at Beaver Stadium, it's time to fill them with high school students from throughout Pennsylvania. It might just give some in-state students the inspiration to enroll at Penn State and perhaps some may want to try out for Penn State sports.
What goes around, comes around. Bring back the bands for Band Day.

During the 1970s, fusion jazz was an up and coming sub-genre loved by some and despised by others. While there were a handful of musicians playing around with the idea of combining jazz chops with rock energy, the impetus to go full bore into the maelstrom is generally credited to two albums by Miles Davis – "Bitches Brew" and "A Tribute to Jack Johnson."
Billy Cobham was one of the drummers contributing to both projects, and he managed to bond with guitarist John McLaughlin during those sessions. That's how he became the rhythmic pulse of the legendary Mahavishnu Orchestra. When the first edition of that band split up, Cobham felt he was ready to deliver "Spectrum," his first album as a leader.
Flash forward to the present day and that release, arguably Cobham's most impressive album, is now a healthy 40 years old, and the putative centerpiece of the drummer's current tour. The band he's assembled is a crew of extremely talented musicians, including violinist Jerry Goodman, who worked alongside McLaughlin and Cobham in the Mahavishnu Orchestra.
The stage for Saturday night's performance was fairly uncomplicated from a visual standpoint. The percussion kit was large, but compact, efficient in how each drum head and cymbal was placed for easy access. Everything else was unobtrusive, either off toward the sides or low enough on the visual horizon to leave the audience's sight lines undisturbed.
That bit of staging pretty much foretold the kind of performance that Cobham and his cohorts would deliver. There was plenty of flash but basically it was a tightly controlled style of playing that had everyone taking care of business within the context of the tune. Solos were divided fairly equally, with the music starting and stopping with precision.
Despite the rapid-fire tempos that filled the evening, there seemed to be few times when the energy expended was anything other than rote.
There was plenty of sterling musicianship to applaud, mainly because of the band leader. Cobham is one heck of a drummer, whose lightning-fast stick work takes advantage of the kit's tonal potential even as his superlative sense of rhythm gives the others a guide to the pocket.
Bassist Ric Fierabracci was Cobham's able partner in the rhythm section with his smooth, sure-handed playing echoing the lines laid down by Lee Sklar, whose patterns helped lay down the foundation for the original "Spectrum" album. Dean Brown's guitar playing was fluid and, at times, edgy while Gary Husband's keyboard playing was competent but, for whatever reason, just didn't seem to have much bite. Goodman played long, drawn out notes that virtually paralleled what Brown was banging out on his guitar.
The set list began with a ditty called "Mushu Creole Blues" and, along the way, touched on some "Spectrum" material, notably "Stratus" and "Quadrant 4," but the bulk of it was a mix of tunes written by members of the band with precious little drawn from the album whose 40th anniversary celebration this was supposed to be.
It wasn't a bad concert, but from my standpoint, it was a bit of unfulfilled potential, a fire that had been banked rather than allowed to shine brilliantly, crackling with heat.

The Etiwan Cup East Cooper Championship Pinewood Derby crowned the fastest and coolest cars in town on Saturday on April 13 aboard the USS Yorktown at Patriots Point Maritime Museum in Mount Pleasant. Cub Scout finalists from East Cooper Packs gathered to show off the cars they designed and race to see who had the fastest car East of the Cooper. The top four race finalists and top two design finalists from each Pack automatically advanced to the District Etiwan Cup races.
Tommy Baker, owner and president of Baker Motor Company in Charleston and Mount Pleasant and Baker Buick GMC Cadillac in Charleston, announced that the company was honored to present the derby. Baker Motor Company vice president Bill Gironda awarded the finalists in each competition.
In the weeks and months prior to the race, each Scout purchased a $5 kit which included a block of wood, four nails (which served as axles), and four official Boy Scouts of America official wheels. The scouts cut, shaped, decorated and added weight to their cars while adhering to car and track rules and regulations, including that each car must weigh less than five ounces.
As the Scouts were checking their cars in Etiwan Cup race director Steve Slack commented, "This is going to be a really fast race, the caliber of entrants this year is like no other." He was correct.
Three finalists trophies were presented to those with the "Fastest Pinewood Derby Cars East of the Cooper." Seth Myers from Cub Scout Pack 505 in Park West won first place with his car "Fast Flash," which clocked an average mph of 171.9. Racers from Pack 505 also took home the Fastest Pack award as their averaged times were faster than that of any other Pack. Mo Meares traveled down from Pawley's Island and Pack 323 to take second place with his car "Skittles 4" and D.J. Brown of Pack 502 in Mount Pleasant took third place with his car "DJ's Falcon."
The finalists of the "Coolest Pinewood Derby Cars East of the Cooper" proved themselves in the design portion of the Etiwan Cup. Sawyer Thompson of Christ our King's Cub Scout Pack 470 took first place with his car "Flying Fish" which contained a real, live fish inside. Sawyer did not "race" the fish, he merely displayed it during the design competition and released back to his larger tank that afternoon. Second place went to Patrick Buehler, a Tiger Cub (first grader) in Pack 470 for his USS Yorktown replica car. Third place was awarded to Jacob Garris of Pack 20 for his car fashioned to look like a tank named "Bunker Buster."
The race committee awarded a judge's choice award to Keller Wachsmuth of Pack 20 in Mount Pleasant for his replica of The Hunley.
This year's race included the first ever Akela adult and Scout division, where parents were able to fashion and race their own cars along with the Scouts. Gordon Thompson, Assistant Cubmaster with Pack 470 received first place, Cubmaster Mike Frame of Pack 502 came in second, and Dale Shifflett, Pack Trainer with Pack 470 finished third.
Baker Motor Company vice president, Bill Gironda, awarded all of the winners for each competition. Gironda added, "The Scouts, their families and all of the Scoutmasters and Cubmasters had a wonderful time. It was great to see how excited the Scouts were. It was a beautiful day, and it is such an honor for Baker Motor Company to be part of this very special event for the children and parents in our community."

Basal cell carcinoma is a type of skin cancer. Basal cell carcinoma begins in the basal cells — a type of cell within the skin that produces new skin cells as old ones die off.
Basal cell carcinoma often appears as a waxy bump, though it can take other forms. Basal cell carcinoma occurs most often on areas of the skin that are often exposed to the sun, such as your face and neck.
Most basal cell carcinomas are thought to be caused by long-term exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation from sunlight. Avoiding the sun and using sunscreen may help protect against basal cell carcinoma.
