(Stock) Which foods are the worst for the environment? The argument that a vegetarian diet is more planet-friendly than a carnivorous one is straightforward: If we feed plants to animals, and then eat the animals, we use more resources and produce more greenhouse gases than if we simply eat the plants. As with most arguments about our food supply, though, it's not that simple. Although beef is always climatically costly, pork or chicken can be a better choice than broccoli, calorie for calorie.

Deploying Next Generation Multicast-enabled Applications : Label Switched Multicast for MPLS VPNs, VPLS, and Wholesale Ethernet
The growth, scale, and prominence of video applications over the years have placed emphasis on the most scalable and efficient way to deliver multi-play content (voice, video and data) to the end user. Multicast is the most effective and efficient carrier of video applications from a network standpoint. Financial organizations deploy large-scale multicast infrastructures to enable trading and e-commerce. The introduction of 4G and beyond makes this technology even more indispensible since mobile operators need an efficient mechanism to deliver repetitive content to many a handset, and multicast is the answer. This is the first book to distill information on this topic from disparate sources. It is written by one of the early implementers, and is the go-to reference for deploying the Next Generation model. This book proves a real benefit to networking professionals from service providers, enterprises, the vendor community, and anyone else who wants to understand this fast emerging and popular scheme of deployment from a vendor-neutral standpoint.
*Offers contextualized case studies for illustrating deployment of the Next Generation Multicast technology
*Provides the background necessary to understand current generation multi-play applications and their service requirements
*Includes practical tips on various migration options available for moving to the Next Generation framework from the legacy

U.S. Cellular Field, Chicago, Illinois
CHICAGO (AP) -- Jon Garland trusts his catchers, his defense and -- most importantly -- himself. That's why he's the AL's first seven-game winner this season.
Garland allowed eight hits in eight innings and struck out Miguel Tejada on a 3-2 changeup with two on to stop a late Orioles' rally Thursday night as the Chicago White Sox beat Baltimore 3-2."It was one of the best pitches I threw all night. There are some RBI out there for him and he wants to swing the bat and hit. He swung over the top of it." Garland said of the eighth-inning strikeout."I knew if he got on, I was done. If he was going to beat me, he was going to hit something good. ... He's one of the best in the AL. He fouled off a couple of good pitches and things went my way this time."Garland (7-0) won his seventh straight start. He's five wins away from matching his career-high for victories, set in each of the last three seasons when he's been 36-36."Garland's ball seemed like it was moving all over the place tonight," Orioles manager Lee Mazzilli said. "Tejada fouled off a couple of tough ones, laid off a couple tough ones and he got him on a good pitch."Garland, a former first-round draft pick of the Cubs, has finally combined his physical talent with a stronger mental approach."He's more mature and has more confidence in his pitches," White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen said. "We've given him the opportunity to be who he is, he thought about it and he's performed."Dustin Hermanson pitched the ninth for his seventh save in as many opportunities. Hermanson has yet to allow a run this season, spanning 15 appearances.A.J. Pierzynski and Juan Uribe homered for the White Sox as Chicago took a 3-0 lead after three innings. Rafael Palmeiro hit a solo homer for the Orioles in the fifth.Pitting the teams with the best records in the majors, the opener of the four-game set drew 29,031 on a 53-degree night at U.S. Cellular Field.Many of the crowd had hoped to see Sammy Sosa's return to Chicago, but the former Cubs star didn't make the trip after going on the disabled list earlier in the week with a foot abscess and infection.Baltimore entered the game leading the American League in batting average, slugging percentage and homers with 48, but was short-handed without Sosa and center fielder Luis Matos, who was on the DL with a broken finger.Garland faced the minimum number of batters through four innings, thanks to double plays following a walk to B.J. Surhoff in the third and a single to Brian Roberts in the fourth.But Palmeiro hit his third homer and the 554th of his career to cut the White Sox lead to 3-1 and end Garland's bid for a third shutout this season. Scott Podsednik then made a nice running catch before hitting the left field wall to rob Surhoff of extra bases.Rookie Jeff Fiorentino and Roberts -- who had three singles -- hit consecutive one-out singles in the eighth, and after David Newhan hit back to Garland, he almost picked the ball up and threw to second.But when he heard Pierzynski call for the ball, he threw home to get Fiorentino, who was tagged out after falling down in the base path short of the plate.It was a big play because Melvin Mora followed with an RBI single to make it 3-2 and put runners at first and third. But Garland struck out Tejada swinging to end the threat."I was trying to get in a rundown because if they turn a double play right there, we score no runs," said Fiorentino, just called up from Class A."It wasn't a crucial mistake," Mazzilli added. "It's a tough read right there for a young kid like that."Pierzynski's third homer, with one out in the second, put Chicago ahead 1-0, giving the White Sox a lead in all 35 games this season to extend their own major league record.Uribe homered in the third, his fourth of the season, and Chicago made it 3-0 moments later when Aaron Rowand hit an RBI double to score Tadahito Iguchi, who had singled off Bruce Chen (4-2).Chen lasted five innings, giving up five hits and three runs.
Game notes
Garland has won nine straight starts dating to last season. The last White Sox pitcher to do that was LaMarr Hoyt, who won 11 straight during the 1983 and 1984 seasons. ... The Orioles' injury-depleted outfield got more tough news. Larry Bigbie started in CF with Matos out but left the game in the fourth inning with tightness in his left hamstring. He's day-to-day. He was replaced by Fiorentino, whose contract was purchased Wednesday from Class A Frederick. Fiorentino singled in his first major league at-bat and went 2-for-2 ... White Sox DH Carl Everett sat out a second straight game with a leg cramp.

January 28, 2014 - Love my slippers, I practically live in them. I live just south of Chicago and these are like my 3rd pair of socks. They're nice and snug and slip right into my winter boots when I go out to feed the birds and squirrel. Made well, great price and helping a wonderful cause!
January 10, 2014 - I love these slippers. I don't use these running around the house but for sleeping. I have never wore anything on my feet sleeping before but one night I fell asleep with them on and my feet didn't get hot or cold. It's weird but "just right" They are so comfortable.
November 20, 2013 - These boot slippers are warm, comfortable, and washable. A great value and I'm so glad I have them!
March 15, 2013 - cozy!
February 15, 2013 - LOVE these! Warm and toasty yet lightweight and cool, if that makes any sense. They are large enough to accommodate socks underneath on especially cold nights but fit perfectly fine alone. I'm wearing them right now and will likely get a second (or third) pair.

Accroding to TMZ Sports, After the alleged altercation between NFL star Carl Pickens and his wife,
police found Pickens hiding in his attic when they came to arrest him.
When the cops arrived at his home, his wife lied and told the police he was not there, but after the cops heard a loud crashing sound coming from the ceiling, they ended up inspecting the place and found a large hole where Pickens had partially fallen from.
Pickens was eventually booked for misdemeanor domestic battery but was bailed out later.

About Reading Reflections
Reading Reflections was first founded in memory of our grandparents, Edith and Morris Mendelsohn. Our grandparents were teachers who dedicated their lives to the education of their children, grandchildren, and children of their communities. It is they who inspired our feeling for the importance of education and our passion for reading.
The project began with the collection of used children's books for a new local preschool. Then, a dear family friend who is Guyanese sustained a devastating loss: her nephew, a twenty-two year old police detective, was brutally murdered in Guyana. Our friend had been spearheading a campaign to found a Muslim school there, and the school was in dire need of educational materials. To honor this young detective's memory, we dedicated our time and effort to creating a library which would provide a wealth of educational resources for the children of the Al-Madinah Islamic Academy. When it became apparent that many texts would be needed to start an adequate library, we again approached neighbors and family friends about our endeavor. They eagerly contributed new and gently used texts for this cause; math textbooks, reading textbooks, and children's classic novels were all included in the growing collection. After we amassed several hundred books, arrangements were made for them to be sent to Guyana via a Guyanese shipping company that readily agreed to provide services for a discounted rate. It was immensely rewarding to contribute towards the educational development of children from another country.
As our project progressed, we began to enlist the help of our community. With the assistance of local school drives and libraries, our book collection continued to grow. We wrote to local bookstores and to hundreds of publishers across the continent, pleading with them to donate books for children in need of these precious resources. Our initial pile of books tripled, and then tripled again, until our garages were stacked to the ceiling with thousands of books. As more shipments arrived, our infatuation with the effort grew. To date, we have donated thousands of books to the Nassau Health and Human Services Welcome Center. We have reached out to the Town of Hempstead, where Town Supervisor Kate Murray and Councilmen James Darcy and Ed Ambrosino helped us to deliver a truckload of books to Gateway Youth Outreach, a non-profit, community-based organization dedicated to offering services to youth at risk. There are currently 600 children who benefit from this daily after-school enrichment and counseling program.

It's a Girl for Victoria and David Beckham!
David Beckham and wife Victoria welcomed a baby girl to their brood Sunday morning, PEOPLE reports.
The baby girl, whose name has not been revealed, was born at 7:55 a.m. this morning at Cedars-Sinai, weighing in at 7 lbs., 10 oz.
No other details have been released, but one thing's for sure: this little girl has some excited big brothers.
"Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz are excited to welcome their new baby sister to the family," says Beckham spokesperson Jo Milloy.
The happy couple announced they were expecting their first girl back in March.
"We're still in shock. Obviously, having three boys, you kind of expect another one, so finding out a little girl is in there is surprising, but, obviously, we are over the moon," David said at the time. "Our three boys are happy and excited, and Victoria is doing well."
Just Friday, a gorgeous photo of the expectant mom taken by David was released, showing the fashion designer was clearly nearing her due date.

Hi: 14° Lo:5° 7 day
BROMSGROVE Lawn Tennis Centre's Imogen Sinclair was put through her paces when taking part in the Lawn Tennis Association's (LTA) national Talent ID Finals at the Bolton Arena.
Imogen was amongst 80 youngsters from across the country invited to the session with all of the players showing off their skills in front of the LTA Talent ID team, who were aiming to spot future performance players, who even at such an early age were displaying the right attributes that could enable them to make a real impact on the game.
RGS Worcester pupil Imogen said: "I was really excited about coming to the Talent ID Finals. Getting to play against the best players in the country in my age group was brilliant. I was able to pick up a few useful tips from them to help me improve."
The day was overseen by LTA Head of Talent Management Andrew Lewandowski who was impressed by what he saw.
"They have performed really well and shown lots of ability across a number of different tasks testing qualities including athletic ability, co-ordination, speed and agility and a real natural talent and love for the sport.
"It was fantastic to see so many enthusiastic and talented players give it their all. The LTA is committed to developing and supporting talent, and we now have the systems in place to give players like these the best possible chance of reaching their potential so I look forward to seeing them progress."

"Flavour" drop-down with id="flavour" and options strawberry, banana, peach
// enable all options then disable based on user-input
$("#size option[value='small']").removeAttr("disabled");
$("#size option[value='medium']").removeAttr("disabled");
$("#colour option[value='red']").removeAttr("disabled");
$("#colour option[value='green']").removeAttr("disabled");
$("#flavour option[value='strawberry']").removeAttr("disabled");
$("#flavour option[value='banana']").removeAttr("disabled");
if(size == 'small') {
$("#colour option[value='red']").prop("disabled","disabled"); //remove red option
$("#flavour option[value='banana']").prop("disabled","disabled"); //remove banana option
and hooking into the script with $("select").on("change", function() { foo() });
I'm looking to automate this process, as currently I have to write a script for each product we sell, and as you can appreciate it gets quite cumbersome with large numbers of options.
Ideally I'd like to provide a table/list of available options and have either php or javascript work out the rest... any ideas?

FBI releases its first iPhone app: Child ID
The FBI has released it first iPhone app called Child ID. As the name suggests, Child ID works as a kind of digital passport for information about your children. With it you can store their photos along with physical identifiers such as height and weight. The app has several intended uses, the first a which is as something you can quickly show a security official to help identify your child if they go missing, say at an airport or a theme park. The app also has allows you to call 911 with the tap of a button and also call the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children. You can also choose to email your child's information to authorities.
For those of you worried over privacy concerns, the FBI states on its website that the app does not collect or store any photos or information you enter into the phone. Everything resides locally on your iPhone until you choose to send that information to the authorities. Child ID is a great start, but one issue I had with the app is that there is no way to set a passcode on it. If you're storing information that could identify your children, it would be nice to lock the app should it fall into the wrong hands.
Child ID is a free download for the iPhone, and the FBI says it will be coming to other mobile devices in the future.

I have had my current setup for just over 10 years. For my birthday, my wife said I could look at upgrading my speakers. She had looked into some speaker systems for me and am wondering for some professional help.
My current system is
Fronts: Klipsch SB-1 Bookshelf
Center: Klipsch SC-1
Surrounds: Klipsch SS-1
Sub: M&K something
Receiver: Onkyo TX-SR608
My Klipsch speakers were discontinued in 2004, but have been quite happy with them.
Due to budgeting I am looking at spending between $500 and $600. My wife has looked into the following:
Definitive Technology ProCinema 400 system
Klipsch HDT-600 system
Would either of these be an upgrade to my current system? I know they are both sets of satellite speakers as opposed to bookshelf speakers.
Do you have other options?
Thank you

Ask Mr. Smarty Plants is a free service provided by the staff and volunteers at the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center.
Can't find the answer in our existing FAQs, submit a question to Mr. Smarty Plants.
Need help with plant identification, visit the plant identification page.
From: Houma, LA
Region: Southeast
Topic: Non-Natives
Title: Strange produce from non-native lemon seed in Houma LA
Answered by: Barbara Medford
Before we get any deeper into this, let us explain that the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center is dedicated to the use, protection and propagation of plants native not only to North America but to the area in which the plants are being grown. None of the citrus fruits (or most of the other fruits and vegetables you would buy at a grocery store) are native to North America, so they are really all out of our area of expertise. We don't know the answer, but we will find some websites about what you have done and perhaps you can figure it out.
eHow How to Grow a Lemon Tree from Seed
Texas A&M Extension Horticulture Home Fruit Production - Lemons "While cuttings and air layers will work, trees grown on their own roots are not as well-adapted to Texas soils. Seed can be used, but seedlings are slow to bear. Too, some of the seedlings may not come true-to-type."
TreeHelp.com Grafting Citrus Trees
Wikipedia Grapefruit
Okay, what you have here is a tree planted from the seed of a fruit that may not breed true from the seed, and then a graft a year later. Grafting a tree usually requires two trees, one root stock and one the plant you want to perpetuate. What was the other tree? We read all the websites above, and still have no clue what is the answer to your question.

My Biggest Mistake: Gordon Baxter
Sunday 30 October 1994
MY BIGGEST mistake was trying to sell salted porridge to the English in the early 1960s. I think it was 1964 and we had just taken on a new sales manager from Nestle called James Allen, a six-feet-four Canadian. I had hired him on the princely salary of pounds 4,500 a year, compared with the pounds 3,750 Nestle was paying him as general sales manager.
At some stage James, who was a close friend, chanced upon our experimental kitchen where my wife was preparing some porridge. He tasted it and said, 'Gee, Ena, that's great stuff. We ought to be selling it in a can.'
I said we ought to test- market it first, but if the reaction was positive we could try it out on a larger sample.
Later my wife and I went to Australia on a sales trip. We travelled around the David Jones stores in Sydney with our products - plus kilts, bagpipes and the full works. If you're going to push sales, you might as well put on a first-class Scottish show.
While we were there we received a telegram from James saying that the porridge trials had been successful - and could he make 10,000 cases to send to shops?
I thought if the market research had gone well, then we should go ahead. So the plant in Speyside began making 15-ounce tins of Baxters porridge with cream. Baxters then sold a big order to Fine Fare, which was being run at the time by Jimmy Gulliver.
To cut a painful epsisode short, it didn't sell. We had used the Scottish recipe for porridge - with salt - even though we knew that the English palate was different, and that they preferred it with a touch of sugar. We had used the Scottish recipe even though England was going to be 90 per cent of the market. That was our great mistake.
In the end, Jimmy Gulliver said to me: 'Gordon, I can't sell it. We're going to have to clear the shelves.'
We had to take all of it back. It was a painful experience, because we were poor as churchmice in those days and the business only had a turnover of pounds 1.5m.
But we did learn a lesson: don't make what you want and then try to sell it.
Find out what the customer wants and then go and make it. It's a pretty basic tenet of business, but often easy to overlook.
In the old days when Baxters was just a wee business and my wife was making a soup, we would just take it round to a few of our friends in the grocery business and ask them for their views.
The retailers are a bit more sophisticated today, and market testing has to much more rigorous. I'm sure if we had made tinned porridge with a little sugar, it would have been a winner.
Now Baxters is a pounds 40m business and we have about 20 chefs, cooks and technologists working in the kitchens on a host of soup, jam and sauce recipes. Everything is well tested, and not just on our friends.
The old favourites, such as Royal Game soup, invented by my mother in 1929, still sell well. In recent years we have added succesful new recipes to the range, including our vegetarian and Healthy Choice high-fibre soups and Pour Over sauces.
Earlier this month I decided to step down as chairman of Baxters and become president of the company. After leading Baxters for 48 years I now plan to play a public relations role and spend a bit more time fishing. I will also advise on new business programmes and continue to be repsonsible for the highly successful visitor's centre we have on the banks of the River Spey.
Joe Barnes, formerly joint managing director of Sainsbury, succeeds me as chairman. Not only does he have great retail experience but he loves Scotland and is a fine salmon fisherman.
His role is to build on the strengths of the company and to provide guidance and development opportunities to the younger members of the family so that the chair will, in a few years, be filled once again by a family member.
My son Andrew Baxter is deputy chairman, and my daughter Audrey is group managing director. They reprepresent the fourth generation of Baxters.
They are too young to remember the porridge episode but I have related the tale to them so they can avoid similar mistakes.

The System
Secession: What's In It For Me?
by Russell D. Longcore
As originally posted on: DumpDC
December 11, 2012
The phrase "What's in it for me?" (WIIFM) is on all our minds on a daily basis. And the sooner an individual understands "What's In It For Me?" as related to secession, the sooner that individual will heartily support state sovereignty and leaving the United States of America.
WIIFM is normal human behavior. We are all designed to be "me-minded." The baby in the womb takes whatever it needs from the mother's body. After the baby is born, it spends all its waking hours communicating its needs to the world. Only as a child grows up can it learn to be others-minded. But each of us still looks at the world every day through our WIIFM glasses.
The essence of free enterprise and capitalism is WIIFM. It is the motivator that drives nearly all human activity. Every time you consider whether to buy or sell something, you consciously or unconsciously use WIIFM. Even when someone asks you for a favor, you think "WIIFM."
Let's look at a few reasons that a regular American should become a secessionist. I am going to use The Free Republic Of North America, the new nation I am inventing, as the perfect model of secession. Perhaps the state or states that actually DO secede won't be perfect, but if they don't get the following perfect, it won't be much different than the government we already have in DC.
The entire "raison d'être" of FRONA is to protect Unalienable Rights. That French term means "reason to exist." Do not confuse that term with another French term…"raison d'état"…which means "for the good of the State." FRONA has been created to preserve and protect individual liberty and property rights. That means the good of the State is subordinate to the good of the individual. Simply said, people first, government last. And more importantly…It's ALL about the MONEY.
1. Money: FRONA does not have a national money per se. The FRONA Charter only states that coinage minted and utilized in FRONA will have the weight and fineness displayed on the coin, but no value such as "Five Dollars" or "Twenty Dollars." That sentence is basically FRONA's monetary policy. Why no value? Because in FRONA, money is a WEIGHT of precious metal as it was meant to be. The FRONA Charter does not prohibit the State from minting coins, but the State's coins would be subject to the free market just like any and all other producers of precious metal money. Private mints will create coins in various denominations in silver, gold, platinum and copper. The free market will decide the value of all coins and which coins will be the most popular for daily commerce. In all likelihood, the most popular form of money in FRONA will be digital money used with a debit card. But real hard money has to be in the account for the debit card to work. "What's In It For Me?" Precious metals money means that inflation CANNOT OCCUR in FRONA. Your money will ALWAYS have steady purchasing power. There is no other nation on the planet that can say this, for all the rest of the nations of the world operate in the fiat money system, and all other nations' currencies lose value through inflation.
2. No Fractional Reserve banking. That means all banks in FRONA are prohibited from creating money out of thin air. In the current world money system, ALL money is a debt instrument. When a bank creates a loan from nothing, they are creating money, and that is counterfeiting. The penalty for counterfeiting in FRONA is death. The banks may only loan their own assets at interest. Further, the FRONA Charter prohibits FRONA from establishing a central bank. The only reason that a central bank exists is to manipulate the national money for "raison d'état," the benefit of the State. And without a national fiat money and legal tender laws, there is nothing for a central bank to do. Central banking relies upon fiat money and fractional reserve banking to exist. "What's In It For Me?" Banks will be required to operate without counterfeiting under FRONA law, which means they operate for the benefit of the individual. This will mean that no created credit will be available. At the same time this is occurring, the wealth of the world will POUR into FRONA seeking safety and ROI. There will be enormous wealth available for loans and investment, but creditworthiness will once again be supreme as the free market decides who gets the best interest rates in credit and investment.
3. Jobs and Job Security: Because FRONA is awash with the wealth of the world seeking a return on investment, entrepreneurship will explode like nothing ever seen before. Business creation through capital investment means job creation. FRONA will be desperate for skilled AND unskilled workers, and the cream of the world's workers will compete for jobs in FRONA. Huge demand for skilled labor means wages rise. "What's In It For Me?" Jobs, jobs, jobs. And if you start a business, your chances of success are greatly enhanced simply by the FRONA inflation-free money.
4. Low Prices: As mentioned before, the money in FRONA cannot be inflated, and as such, will naturally seek its highest value. The WIIFM about precious metals money and no inflation is that over time, prices for ALL goods and services will PLUMMET as compared with other nations such as the USA, as inflation would be wrung out of the economy. Imagine oil prices at ONE OUNCE of silver a barrel ($25 USD), and gas prices at 0.01 OUNCE of silver a gallon (25 cents USD). Remember, FRONA money is WEIGHT, not value. If you're old enough, think back to what prices were like back in the 1960s.
5. Taxation in FRONA: In FRONA, there is no income tax, no value added tax, no flat tax, no tariffs, no duties, no property taxes, no estate taxes, etc. There is only ONE tax in The Free Republic of North America. That is the 10% sales tax applied to all commercial transactions. That means that every individual that spends money in FRONA pays a 10% national sales tax…the poor and the wealthy alike. That means that citizen and visitor alike pay the sales tax. Please understand that transactions between individuals, like at garage sales, swap meets, and such, will not be subject to the sales tax. Also understand that the FRONA government uses that single source of tax revenue to pay for ALL government functions, down to the local dogcatcher. "What's In It For Me?" No payroll deductions. You get a check for 100% of your earnings. As a business owner, you get 100% of your profit. Only when you make a purchase do you incur a tax. There is NO TAXATION on investments or your return on investment. Your wealth accumulates tax-free. No need for IRAs etc in FRONA. No tax shelters needed.
6. Less Regulation: FRONA begins with a new Charter. The US Constitution has no relevance in a single sovereign nation, and is not used as a template. The existing state Constitution must be entirely rewritten to reflect its national sovereignty. It does not adopt the endless regulations imposed upon Americans now. ALL of the three-letter departments that make our lives miserable are GONE…replaced by NOTHING. No more tags on pillows. No more EPA regulations on auto manufacturers. No more OSHA regs on businesses. No more FDA protecting Big Pharma. No more USDA protecting Big Farming. No more DOE regulating energy producers, preventing drilling, prohibiting refineries, and preventing construction of nuclear power plants. No Homeland Security groping your wives and daughters at the airport. No more corrupt regulators PERIOD. "What's In It For Me?" Prices of ALL goods and services made in FRONA will drop instantly, and less regulation will be VISIBLY NOTICEABLE.
7. More Individual Liberty: Imagine your life if your money never inflated…your paycheck had no deductions…ALL of your expenses dropped…jobs were plentiful at good wages…and there were less bureaucrats telling you what to do every day. Imagine living in a nation where there were no government welfare programs, so the people who wanted to live off the State either had to get jobs to support themselves or they had to move out of FRONA. Imagine a booming economy that was not based in a bubble, but was based in hard money, low taxation and maximum individual liberty.
"What's In It For Me?" Liberty like you have never experienced in your lifetime, no matter how old you are today.
Sounds too good to be true, doesn't it? But it CAN be true if people BELIEVE that a nation like this CAN exist. Just because it does not presently exist does not mean it cannot. On the contrary. The world is desperate for an answer to the present failing world financial system. The demand is planetary. The supply need only be in one new nation on the North American continent. Once the first states secedes and gets it right, that will open the floodgates for the others and will mean the end of the United States of America.
Secession is the hope for humanity. Who will be first?

Interesting that PSU is only defendant, they did not go after Paterno estate, or $$ from Curley, Schultz, et al.

Thing I am not sure of is the dollar amount..... I believe the Catholic church sex scandal had an average of 300k per victim... in which had a ton more victims and more perpetrators.... Now Sandusky was not convicted of rape for the 2001 attack but for something that comes from knowledge of the other attacks and if Curley and Schultz are found not guilty it would severely limit the legal issues for PSU. The only reason to not sue the other party's is simple.... Money.
Glad to know ESPN is not only the "worldwide leader in sports," but that they are making a push to take over Court TV's market share.
I will now go to them for the latest legal happenings in America since surely they aren't doing this as a gesture to PSU fans to keep us all informed and educated and nt covering any other legal issues going on right now...

I find it curious that he's not suing the Second Mile. For all intents and purposes, Penn State had nothing whatsoever to do with this kid. It seems like Bill Clinton's old idea of punishing Serbia by bombing the crap out of Kosovo.
Second Mile transferd or tranfering all remaining cash after Large donation to our "Scum Bag Govervnor" to be elected to a another non profit in Texas.
