Who Is Oscar Pistorius' Girlfriend?
All eyes might be on "Blade Runner" or "The Fastest Man with No Legs," Oscar Pistorius, 25, as the Paralympic games are almost upon us and Pistorius gears up to run in three track events for amputees, but the question remains — who has captured the eye of Pistorius himself.
Reports say that Pistorius had been dating his on-again, off-again high school sweetheart, Vicky Miles, for many years before the two split for good this year, after which point Pistorius was quickly linked to Russian supermodel Anastassia Khozissova, 33, reports Bleacher Report.
Khozissova grew up in Saratov, Russia, has been modeling since she was 17, and also works training young models in New York. "Sources tell us Pistorius — the double-amputee who's qualified to run the 400 meters at the London Games — and Khozissova, the beautiful top model who's graced the catwalks for Chanel, Prada, Dolce & Gabbana, Giorgio Armani and Marc Jacobs, have been 'dating for just over a month,'" reports the New York Post.
Pistorius and Khozissova reportedly met in New York, where they have been seen holding hands in Chelsea.

- Composition-of-matter patent granted in Taiwan; granting of patent imminent in Korea, India and the Philippines
- Due to high occurrence of liver cancer (HCC) in the region, Asia-Pacific is of strategic importance for the further development and commercialisation of resminostat
4SC AG (Frankfurt, Prime Standard: VSC), a discovery and development company of targeted small molecule drugs for autoimmune diseases and cancer, today announced that the company has significantly enhanced the patent protection for its lead anti-cancer compound resminostat in Asian-Pacific growth markets. With the key patent for resminostat already granted in Taiwan (patent no. I353977), the patent authorities in Korea, India and the Philippines recently indicated that the granting of the composition-of-matter patent is now imminent in the respective countries. The patents in these four countries cover the composition of matter of the compound resminostat itself, pharmaceutical compositions comprising resminostat, and its therapeutic use in cancer and other therapeutic areas.
The Asia-Pacific markets are of a high importance for the development and commercialisation of resminostat. Occurrences of liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC) are especially high in these countries, for instance accounting for 14% of all new cases of cancer in Taiwan - as well as China - and for 9% in Korea and the Philippines. Liver cancer, a disease with a high medical need for which only very few treatment options are available, is one of the cancer indications currently addressed with resminostat in clinical Phase II trials. Resminostat has already shown promising anti-tumour activity in this indication. In April 2011, 4SC entered into a first development and commercialisation partnership in this growth region when it granted an exclusive license for resminostat to Yakult Honsha, the Japanese market leader for gastrointestinal cancer therapies.
Dr. Ulrich Dauer, Chief Executive Officer of 4SC AG, commented: 'We are very pleased that the Taiwanese patent authority has granted this key patent for our lead oncology compound resminostat and that patent granting is imminent in Korea, India and the Philippines. This bolsters our market position in the Asia-Pacific region, which is very important commercially - especially for the development of resminostat in the indication of liver cancer (HCC). After we recently reached our primary efficacy endpoint ahead of schedule in a Phase II trial in patients with advanced HCC, we are now in talks with regulatory agencies and potential partners to prepare a global registration trial of resminostat in this indication. We believe that the enhanced patent protection in these Asian growth markets will serve to further advance the successful progress of these talks with potential partners.'
About Resminostat
Resminostat (4SC-201), 4SC's lead oncology compound, is an oral pan-histone-deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitor with an innovative epigenetic mechanism of action that enables the compound to be deployed as a novel, targeted tumour therapy for a broad spectrum of oncological indications, both as a monotherapy and in combination with other cancer drugs. HDAC inhibitors modify the DNA structure of tumour cells to cause their differentiation and programmed cell death (apoptosis) and are therefore considered to offer a mechanism of action that has the particular potential to halt tumour progression and induce tumour regression. Additionally, resminostat also induces what is known as tumour cell 're-sensitisation'. This process can suppress or reverse tolerance and resistance mechanisms that tumour cells often develop against other cancer drugs. Accordingly, supplementary treatment with resminostat can thus restore - or significantly improve - the efficacy of an initial cancer therapy.
Resminostat is currently being investigated in a broad clinical Phase II programme in the three indications liver cancer (hepatocellular carcinoma, HCC), Hodgkin's Lymphoma (HL), which is a cancer of the lymphatic system, and colorectal cancer (CRC). In the Phase I/II SHORE study, which evaluates resminostat in combination with the chemotherapeutic FOLFIRI regimen as a second-line treatment of KRAS-mutant CRC patients, initial results are expected in 2012. In the Phase II SAPHIRE trial in patients with advanced Hodgkin's Lymphoma, resminostat monotherapy has demonstrated, with an overall response rate of 35.3% and a clinical benefit in 55.9% of the patients, substantial anti-tumour activity in a heavily pre-treated patient population together with very good safety and tolerability. In the active Phase II SHELTER study resminostat is being evaluated as monotherapy and in combination with sorafenib (Nexavar ®) as a second-line treatment in advanced HCC. According to the data presented in January 2012, based on an advanced data set, the primary study endpoint has been achieved ahead of schedule in both therapy arms showing a progression-free survival rate (PFSR) after 12 weeks of 66.6% for the combination therapy group and 33.3% for the monotherapy group.
4SC is currently in discussions with regulatory agencies and potential partners in order to prepare a pivotal clinical study programme for resminostat in combination with sorafenib as a second line treatment for patients with advanced HCC who show tumour progression after first-line treatment with sorafenib. HCC is the most frequent form of liver cancer, the fifth most common cancer worldwide and, with approximately 700,000 deaths annually, the third most deadly. Sorafenib is currently the only drug approved in first-line therapy of advanced HCC. No approved treatment option is available for patients who become refractory or intolerant to sorafenib treatment (second-line therapy).

Problem loans nearly led to the demise of Central Pacific Bank three years ago. But now loans are helping fuel its recovery as the state's fourth-largest bank boosts lending in Hawaii , sells or restructures nonperforming assets and acquires packaged loan portfolios. Parent company Central Pacific Financial Corp. said a 19.4 percent increase in loans and leases in the October-to-December period helped propel the bank to its 12th straight quarter of profitability since its $325 million recapitalization by private investors in February 2011 . The bank's earnings, though, fell 27.3 percent to $9 million from $12.4 million in the year-earlier period partly due to lower gains on the sale of residental mortgage loans and foreclosed assets to the secondary market. That contributed to an overall $4.7 million decline in noninterest income during the quarter from the year-earlier period. Central Pacific also took a $777,000 expense that it added to its loan-loss reserve compared with a year ago when it took a $2.3 million credit to reduce its reserve. The bank's quarterly net income has been "lumpy," according to President and Chief Executive Officer John Dean , because the bank has returned loan-loss reserves to its income over the past 11 quarters in amounts ranging from $200,000 to $19.1 million . Dean said earnings should become more "normalized" in upcoming quarters as the bank's nonperforming assets -- loans delinquent by 90 days or more -- and loan-loss reserves stabilize. He said he's also encouraged by the progress the bank is making in its loan portfolio. Loans and leases increased to $2.63 billion at the end of last year from $2.20 billion at year-end 2012. "We've had excellent loan growth within the state, but half of that 20 percent loan growth at the end of the fourth quarter was at the national level," Dean said Wednesday ahead of today's scheduled earnings release. "We're participating in some large national credits (packaged loan portfolios) that accounted for some of the growth." Dean said the bank shifted some of its assets from its investment portfolio, which purchases U.S. Treasury securities and municipal bonds, to its loan portfolio to get a higher yield through loan production and buying shared national credits. The national credits, or packaged loan portfolios, are a pool of loans underwritten by other entities and put on the investment market to purchase. The bank, which lost more than $703 million from 2008 to 2010, also continued reducing its nonperforming assets. At the end of the fourth quarter, it was down to $47 million from $90 million in the year-earlier period and $496 million when Dean took the reins of the bank in the first quarter of 2010. At the end of last quarter, Central Pacific had $152 million in outstanding loans on the mainland, with $9 million nonperforming. In Hawaii , the bank had $2.48 billion in loans, with $38 million of those delinquent. Of that $38 million , $20 million of that amount were residential mortgages -- the majority from 2008 and earlier. The bank also showed improvement in deposits (up 6.9 percent to $3.9 billion ), assets (up 8.5 percent to $4.7 billion ), net interest income (up 20.8 percent $35.5 million ) and net interest margin, which rose to 3.29 percent from 3.00 percent in the year-earlier quarter. The bank's efficiency ratio, which measures how much it costs the bank to make a dollar of revenue, also improved to 72.5 percent from 81.7 percent a year ago. "We've got a lot of work still ahead of us," Dean said. "The efficiency ratio is a good indicator of a bank's progress and we've shown good progress but we still need to do a better job. We'd like to be in the 60 to 65 percent range in the next three years." For the year, Central Pacific's net income more than tripled to $170.8 million , or $4.04 a share, from $47.4 million , or $1.13 a share. The net income in the first quarter of 2013 included a one-time $119.8 million tax benefit. In the fourth quarter, the bank had earnings per share of 21 cents compared with 29 cents in the year-earlier period. Central Pacific, which opened a branch in Kapaa , Kauai , last week, said it hopes to open a new branch in Manoa Marketplace in the fourth quarter that would go into the site now occupied by Bank of the Orient , which will vacate at the end of February. Central Pacific, however, still needs public comment, state and federal regulatory approvals and a signed lease to proceed with what would be its 37th branch in the state. The bank's stock closed down 46 cents , or 2.4 percent, to $19.05 Wednesday on the New York Stock Exchange . Credit: Dave Segal

I hate the Jets so much I will be shaking a terrible towel next week.
Now that the Pats are out of the Playoffs, I will be rooting for the Packers
to win the superbowl. We have two chances for the Jets to lose and I will be rooting for every team the Jets play. I am no Steelers fan, but next week I will be shaking a terrible towel, because I hate the Jets. I sure don't want to see Cromartie or LT get a ring. I hope the Packers beat the Bears, because I have zero faith that the Bears could even put up a good games against the Steelers or the Jets. |
Re: I hate the Jets so much I will be shaking a terrible towel next week.
I hate both teams. Won't root for either of them, won't watch the game. Don't care.
Re: I hate the Jets so much I will be shaking a terrible towel next week.
Did you have to remind me that that little dbag LT is on the Jets? I had almost forgotten.

Antioch >
Food & Dining > Lone Tree Thai CuisineNeighborhoods: Lone Tree Plaza
Best Thai food in Brentwood/Antioch, CA – Since this Thai restaurant open up in our area, it has been an outmost flavorful dish that I can say. Their service was very friendly and have much respect for their customers. I had ordered a noodle dish that I couldn't remember and the waitress was very helpful with my orders. When my dish finally arrived, it wasn't what I had and I was staring at the dish for what seems to be a couple of minutes. When she came to ask if there was anything wrong with the order I couldn't bring myself to tell her that it wasn't the dish I had thought it would be. She kept on insisting to redo my order and want to make it the way I like and sure enough the cook had prepare it almost as what I had wanted. It wasn't exact but I don't blame them cause I myself don't even know what kind of ingredients I had but everything that we had order that day was exqusite. Their yellow curry and mango curry was very tasteful and their pad see ew (flat noodle dish) was also tasteful. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone.

Major modifications in the design and techniques of total ankle replacement have challenged the perception that ankle arthrodesis is the treatment of choice for end-stage ankle arthritis. High complication and revision rates have been reported after both procedures.
We performed radiographic evaluations at a mean of thirty-nine months following 114 total ankle replacements done with use of commonly used implants and at a mean of thirty-seven months following forty-seven ankle arthrodeses. The mean age was sixty-four years for the patients (fifty-one female and sixty-three male) who underwent total ankle replacement and fifty-nine years in the patients (fifteen female and thirty-two male) who underwent ankle arthrodesis. The impact of complications was analyzed with use of the Ankle Osteoarthritis Scale (AOS), a validated outcome instrument.
Both groups had significant improvement in the mean AOS score (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference in the mean improvement between the two groups (p = 0.96). The complication rate was 54% following total ankle replacement and 26% following ankle arthrodesis, which was a significant difference (p = 0.003). The impact of major complications on the AOS outcome score was significant in both the total ankle replacement group (p = 0.031) and the ankle arthrodesis group (p = 0.02).
At the time of follow-up, at a minimum of two years postoperatively, the outcomes of total ankle replacement and ankle arthrodesis, with regard to pain relief and function, were comparable. While the rate of complications was significantly higher following total ankle replacement, the impact of complications on outcome was clinically relevant in both groups.
Therapeutic Level III. See Instructions to Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

Paris Jackson says she is going through the things every teenager goes through ... which unfortunately these days includes being the victim of bullying.
Michael Jackson's only daughter sat down with Oprah Winfrey for an interview on tonight's episode of "Oprah's Next Chapter." Paris is no longer being home-schooled and she says the girls at her new private school have tried to bully her ... but she says, "It doesn't work."
Paris also says she (much like her father) is very wary of people trying to use her. She told O, "If I feel someone is being fake to me, I will just push away."
She's definitely learned a thing or two from dear old dad.
Sorry for that mess I was typing kind of fast, here a slightly better version
First of all, thank you for answering the one question about your occupation. I am glad you are overpaid for what you do and that it provides you with a wealth of time to bash a dead person.
People value my work, knowledge and experience and I'm paid for it. I actually can charge more than I do, and often do work that I am not paid for.
I bashed Michael Jackson while he was alive as well.
You are a very smug individual from your narcissistic nic to your comments. You were actually making some semblance of sense in your earlier posts until you started with your absurd diatribes regarding Michael Jackson not paying his dues as other performers, which is not only absurd but another lie on your part. If he didn't pay his dues then no other performer in history has either. And then you went into some childish tirade calling him the "King of all mucus." I mean really - a grown man says that???
How is it smug? I changed it to that because many stuperfans could not handle the truth I my words. Does your JM50 nic mean that you are Michael Jackson, age 50? No that would be stupid wouldn't it? As far as "paying dues", it was a comparative statement, not an absolute one. "King of all mucus" was a play on the "King of all music" label often given to MJ by stuperfans here, which he does not deserve (I certainly wouldn't give it to Elvis either). It's a joke, I wouldn't expect you to understand and I'll continue to use it.
The bulk of what I wrote about settlement was to try to explain to you that settling a civil case has no bearing on a criminal case in any shape, form or fashion. You can say that the written word eludes me; however, here is your response to Luz on one of her posts:
"It seems like you want me to get further into his court cases, I'll give you just one question.
How does illegally paying off people to drop a case make someone 100% innocent?"
OK then, for your benefit, drop the word "illegally" and answer the question. I've posted this question before when people state that he was innocent and never seem to get a legitimate answer.
By this incorrect statement, you are implying that the settlement Michael Jackson entered into was illegal and when asked to explain you give some vague thing about it preventing whomever from testifying in a criminal case. The mere fact that the Chandlers were still able to testify in a criminal trial refutes your entire statement. "Paying off" someone would be more in line with money changing hands under the table and that was not done. You are basically calling not only Michael Jackson a criminal, but the lawyers handling the settlement ones as well. As far as I can tell, they are all still practicing sans Johnnie Cochran who has since passed away. Further more, you are calling Larry Feldman a criminal. While I might agree that Larry Feldman displays a total lack of ethics in light of how he handled the matter, what he did was not criminal.
You seem to have missed a word or two from my statement again.
I used the term "paying off" in place of the word settlement, I'm sorry you could not see the association but big words do give stuperfans a hard time. As far as your tirade on the use of the word "criminal" I'll leave that to you.
Insults, your or anyone else's, are never dealt out in the nicest possible way. To quote you, my occupation is a "paraplegic?"
Spell check changed it to that after I mangled the word. I left because in your case I think it's hilarious. My apology in my last post was related to that and a few others. You probably missed a few though. Bless your heart.
It's such a shame that someone actually thinks he's dealing out a dose of reality, when it is his perception of reality and not actual reality. If you were dealing out actual reality - you would have to admit (albeit reluctantly) that there is no proof that Michael Jackson ever did anything untoward to anyone. You would also have to admit that the persons making the claims against Jackson have very questionable motives and actions and that there is way more evidence to support that they were using Jackson as a mark to gain money. I understand that the facts do not support your perception, which is what leads to you twist them around. I think you should probably just change your nic back to bnb to be more believable. Your choice though!
Reality and proof are not equal in definition. I'll give an example. You (I hope) would probably think that Hitler is dead but, did you verify of his identity before you witnessed his death? After all, on several occasions proof such as pictures and testimony have been proven false. Sure logic, such as what his current age would be, and his sudden disappearance from a war zone without being discovered, gives a huge probability of his death, which is only your perception. This is the logic you are applying in your paragraph above. In this case proof was never properly brought forward for debate because of the settlement, which does not erase it all or prove it to be false. Hitler also never went to trial for war crimes; I guess that makes him innocent. If an armed robber plead guilty and the getaway vehicle is never brought into evidence because of the plea, does that make it no longer exist? That's a dangerous way of thinking isn't it?
You don't like that I twist things, as you put it, but you do a heck of a lot of twisting yourself.
I also post thoughts, theories and questions that often stump the stuperfans because they cannot handle the reality of what I write. This is especially true with the details leading up to his death. I, for the record, do not believe everything negative about MJ and have said so in the past.
Michael Jackson Not Guilty Acquittal Vindication Exoneration Special 2005 Part 1/5
Michael Jackson on the Billboard charts again. Awesome.
Michael Jackson's "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" debuts at No. 1 with 5,000 copies. Its CD single was released last week exclusively at Walmart as part of the promotions leading up to the 25th anniversary reissue of Jackson's 1987 Bad album.

Long time no see! :-D
Her facial expressions and sudden movements are very Michaelish - the way she says the last, OK, cool, is ALL Debbie Rowe! Cute, smart girl - Michael would be so proud of her. He would be proud of all three of his gorgeous kids. <3
Accusers: Sandusky employed threats and gifts
By GENARO C. ARMAS, Associated Press – 4 hours ago
BELLEFONTE, Pa. (AP) — One, a foster child, said he was threatened, warned he would never see his family again if he ever told anyone what happened. Another said he stayed quiet because he didn't want to stop getting tickets to the hottest game in town — Penn State football.
That was how two of Jerry Sandusky's accusers explained the former Penn State assistant coach's hold over them.
"He told me that if I ever told anyone that I'd never see my family again," the former foster child said Wednesday, the third day of testimony in Sandusky's child sexual abuse trial.
He said it terrified him when Sandusky uttered the threat after the coach pinned him while wrestling in the basement of the Sandusky home and performed oral sex on him.
Sandusky, 68, is charged with sexually abusing 10 boys over a 15-year period, accusations he has denied. His arrest last fall rocked Penn State and led to the firing of football coach Joe Paterno for not taking stronger action against Sandusky after allegations emerged a decade ago.
Three of Sandusky's accusers testified Wednesday, bringing to five the number of them who have taken the stand.
Lawyer Tom Kline, who represents one of them, told reporters outside the courthouse: "It's just remarkable how many children one man can shower with."
The 25-year-old man who told jurors about the threat to keep him away from his biological family said he believed Sandusky's wife was inside the home, upstairs, at the time. He occasionally stayed in the Sanduskys' basement in State College in the late 1990s.
Speaking in a calm but sometimes hesitant voice, he said Sandusky later apologized for the threat: "He told me he didn't mean it and that he loved me."
The man, identified in court papers as Victim 10, said Sandusky also assaulted him on other occasions in 1998 and 1999, including once at a pool and another time in the basement. He said he was about 11 at the time.
An expressionless Sandusky sat mostly still at the defense table during his testimony, occasionally turning his head to look the accuser in the eye.
Victim 10 is one of two who came forward after Sandusky was initially charged in November with assaulting eight boys. Sandusky's attorneys have suggested his accusers have financial motivations for making their allegations.
Under cross-examination, the man testified that he was the roommate of another Sandusky accuser at a camp sponsored by Sandusky's charity, The Second Mile. He also acknowledged spending nearly two years in prison for a robbery and involvement with drugs and alcohol but said he is doing better now.
"I'm married. I'm expecting" a child, he said.
Another boy who was the subject of testimony Monday, dubbed Victim 8, has never been located, and his identity remains a mystery to prosecutors, but jurors heard about his alleged sexual abuse by Sandusky over defense objections.
Judge John Cleland ruled that a co-worker of Penn State janitor Jim Calhoun could testify about what Calhoun told him in November 2000. Calhoun is now suffering from dementia.
The co-worker, Ron "Buck" Petrosky, said that when he encountered Calhoun in a football team locker room, the janitor told him he had seen Sandusky — he didn't realize Sandusky was a famous coach — making a boy perform oral sex on him. Petrosky said Calhoun's face was white, his hands were trembling and he was in tears.
"He said, 'Buck, I just witnessed something in there I'll never forget the rest of my life ... that man that just left, he had the boy up against the shower wall, licking on (him),'" Petrosky testified.
Also Wednesday, another man, identified as Victim 5, said he met Sandusky at Second Mile Camp in 1999 and began attending Penn State games with Sandusky and others. In 2001, he said, Sandusky asked him to work out at a gym on campus and then groped him in the showers.
Fighting back tears, he testified that Sandusky "kept lurching forward, but I didn't have anywhere to go. I felt his penis on my back." He said Sandusky touched his genitals "and then he took my hand and placed it on his."
Afterward, the 23-year-old man said, Sandusky drove him home and made no eye contact. Sandusky never called again, and Victim 5 said he kept the secret from everyone until last year.
"I wanted to forget it," he said. "And I'm embarrassed."
Another witness, identified as Victim 7, said he was 10 when he met Sandusky through the charity in 1995. He said Sandusky showered with him repeatedly and embraced him during sleepovers.
Sandusky was "wrapping himself around me, holding me tightly" when he slept over at the man's house, the 27-year-old man said. He said he now has an aversion to chest hair because of his contact with a sometimes-shirtless Sandusky, who has acknowledged he showered with boys but says he never molested them.
The accuser also described Sandusky rubbing his nipples and touching him beneath his shorts.
The man recalled attending Penn State football games with Sandusky's family and receiving free tickets from Sandusky as recently as 2009.
"I was kind of ashamed about it. I didn't want anybody to know," he said. "Probably most importantly, I didn't want my parents to keep me from going to games. I didn't want them to sort of freak out."
He said that he told his parents of the abuse only last year, after being approached by police, and that many of the details have only come to him in the past year or so. He likened blocking out the negative memories to "putting stuff in the attic."
During cross-examination, defense attorney Joseph Amendola noted that the man's testimony was more detailed than what he told a grand jury last year. The witness replied that he had started going to counseling.
"Talking about different events and through talking about things in my past, different things have triggered different memories," he said.
Jurors also heard excerpts from a television interview Sandusky did on NBC's "Rock Center" soon after his arrest in November. In the interview with Bob Costas, Sandusky said he's not a pedophile but shouldn't have showered with boys.
The judge said the prosecution's case should wrap up by the end of the day on Friday.

we can't wait for cosmic justice no more!
I am glad you are overpaid for what you do and that it provides you with a wealth of time to bash a dead person.
What and how do you know that DOR is over paid???
What ignorant assumption like your assumption of the haters having no life and too much time (you or other rabids like you)! Now that you hear some one makes a good living and have some spare time to take on a cause, you must be jealous to no end.
What and where and who sets the rules that a dead person should not be bashed. That is what history is for and one of the rules that people should live by, if you don't do the society good and harm other people for the evil deeds you do, be aware that history would not be kind to you and you leave behind a legacy of evils, like Hitler, and many many war criminals and other infamous criminals in our society!
Jerry Sandusky trial: Ex-coach called himself the 'tickle monster' in shower encounter

BELLEFONTE, Pa.— Two more accusers took the stand at Jerry Sandusky's sex-abuse trial Thursday, one of whom said the former Penn State assistant football coach called himself the "tickle monster" before embracing him in a shower and another who said he was distraught that the two lost touch.
The second man, now 25, said he loved Sandusky and that he viewed him as a father figure, but that he became angry with Sandusky because he never reached out to him after the witness was sent out of the area to live in a group home.
"He just forgot about me, like I was nothing," said the man known in court do***ents as Victim 3. "I would pray he would call me and maybe find a way to get me out of there … but it never happened."
The two alleged victims who testified Thursday brought to seven the number of accusers to take the stand over the trial's first four days. Jurors also heard about two other alleged victims who have not been located by investigators.

Ex-Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky didn't visibly react to the teen's account and looked straight ahead during his testimony.
Judge John Cleland said prosecutors might finish presenting their case Thursday.
The ex-coach faces 52 criminal counts involving alleged assaults of 10 boys over a 15-year span. He denies the charges, which brought disgrace to Penn State and led to the ouster of both the school's president and Hall of Fame football coach Joe Paterno.
Jerry Sandusky trial: Accusers testify ex-coach threatened and groped them
Mike McQueary testifies he saw Jerry Sandusky in shower with young boy
Sandusky's attorney questioned both accusers Thursday about connections they had with other alleged victims. The defence has claimed that the accusers have financial motives, but they've all denied that.
One of the men, now a member of the Army National Guard, described frequent sleepovers at Sandusky's home in 1998 and 1999 that included the ex-coach rubbing his body and touching his penis. He also said Sandusky gave him a bear hug in the shower.
The man said he lived with his mother at the time but did not get along with her. He didn't know where his father was.
He testified that he felt uncomfortable when Sandusky touched his genitals in bed, and that he would roll over to prevent anything else from happening, but that he didn't tell Sandusky not to get into bed with him.
"He made me feel like I was a part of something, like a family," the man said. "He gave me things that I hadn't had before." He said he loved Sandusky, and that Sandusky treated him like he was part of an extended family who was "unconditionally loved."
Earlier Thursday, the other accuser testified that Sandusky called himself the "tickle monster" and embraced the then-11-year-old boy in a Penn State shower in 1998, an encounter that prompted an investigation but ultimately ended without any charges being filed.
Gene J. Puskar/The Associated Press
Former Penn State assistant coach Mike McQueary told jurors in Jerry Sandusky's sex abuse trial Tuesday that he saw his ex-colleague with a prepubescent boy in an on-campus shower and that he that he heard "skin-on-skin smacking sound."
The then-district attorney's decision not to bring charges was a mistake, an investigator testified.
The now-25-year-old alleged victim, known in court records as Victim 6, told jurors Sandusky embraced him in a locker room shower, lathered up his back and shoulders then lifted him chest-to-chest to a shower head to rinse out his hair.
The man said the shared shower happened after a brief workout at a campus gym – even though he hadn't broken a sweat. His mother went to authorities when she saw her son come home with wet hair, although the inquiry spawned by her report didn't lead to any charges.
The witness, who described himself as a big football fan, testified that Sandusky had given him a tour of the Penn State football locker room and training facilities, and had him try on some equipment of players including star running back Curtis Enis.
One of the investigators who interviewed the boy and Sandusky at the time, Ronald Schreffler, told the court he thought charges were warranted but that the district attorney, Ray Gricar, disagreed.
Gricar cannot explain his decision – he disappeared in 2005 and was later declared legally dead.
On cross-examination, the man testified that in recent years he and Sandusky exchanged text messages, sent notes for holidays and special occasions and last summer met for lunch. He also told the court that Sandusky and his wife, Dottie, had supported a mission trip he took to Mexico.
When asked why he had decided to testify against Sandusky, the witness said he had been approached by investigators and asked to think more about the 1998 encounter.
"As I started to go over it in my mind I quickly realized, my perception changed thinking about it as an adult as opposed to an 11-year-old," he said. "That was inappropriate, what happened to me."
Asked if he was looking for financial benefit from coming forward, the man replied, "Zero."
Schreffler, a former Penn State police officer who now works for the Department of Homeland Security, said he overheard Sandusky tell to alleged victim's mother that he wished he was dead as investigators listened in on a conversation set up for the woman to confront him.
During his cross-examination, Sandusky's attorney presented a transcript of an interview with the accuser in which the boy said there was no sexual contact in the shower.
Gricar was last seen April 15, 2005, about nine months before he was to retire as district attorney, after telling his girlfriend he was going for a drive. His car later was found abandoned at an antiques market.
Gricar's laptop was found three months later in the nearby Susquehanna River, without its hard drive, which was found separately – and upriver – that October. Investigators later said Gricar had done searches on another computer about how to destroy a hard drive, without explaining why that might be relevant to his disappearance.
Since the trial began Monday, jurors have heard from young men who claim Sandusky had inappropriate contact with them, sometimes at his State College home or in the showers of a campus locker room.

The Estate of Michael Jackson along with Epic/Legacy Recordings announce: "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" / "Don't Be Messin' 'Round (demo)" CD Single Debuts at #1 on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales Chart.
On June 5, the original first single from Michael Jackson's landmark album BAD, "I Just Can't Stop Loving You," was re-released as a CD Single with a never-before released bonus track called "Don't Be Messin' 'Round (demo)." In its first week this Wal-Mart exclusive CD single was scooped up by fans, giving Michael a #1 debut on the Billboard Hot Singles Sales chart in a top five that includes Carly Rae Jepsen, Calvin Harris, Justin Bieber and Coldplay/Rihanna.
"I Just Can't Stop Loving You" was written and composed by Michael Jackson and performed as a duet with Siedah Garrett. The song became the first of five consecutive number-one Billboard Hot 100 hits from Jackson's BAD album. It also reached number one on the Billboard R&B and adult contemporary charts. "Don't Be Messin' Around" is a previously unreleased demo from the singer's vaults which was recorded during the BAD sessions.
On September 18th, the Estate of Michael Jackson along with Epic/Legacy Recordings will release BAD 25, which includes three CDs, two collectible booklets, and features the first-ever authorized DVD release of a concert from the record breaking BAD tour, the concert at Wembley Stadium on July 16, 1988 attended by Princess Diana, Prince Charles and a sold-out crowd of 72,000 fans.
More details on this and other exciting projects relating to BAD's 25th anniversary will be announced soon.

No parent should be smoking when you have a young child. MJ had three and he did more than cancer inducing, he did drug that can kill, instantly! She was only about 11 years old then. Good grief!
Cry, at least I post under 1 nic and 1 nic only. I don't have to go on this website and post a bunch of b.s. under multiple nics. What I posted came from billboard itself. And if you would read everything in its entireity instead of what you want to read, you can see that their was plenty of other big name singles on that chart. Just grow up already. And acknowledge a good thing when you see it. I said plenty enough as it is to someone who is placed her intentionally to be a ass, or someone just being a ass all on their own.

In Reply to: allergy or lactose problem posted by Teresa on April 11, 2006 at 4:13 pm:
The only way to diagnose an allergy is to go to a doctor and get an allergy screening test. They inject common or suspected allergens under your skin and wait to see if they produce an allergic reaction. It would be easier to answer your question if you told us what your symptoms were before you quit consuming dairy products. Common symptoms of lactose intolerance include bloating, nausea, stomach cramps, etc. Lactose intolerance is much more common than actual allergies to dairy. In fact, lactose intolerance is the normal condition for adults. The ability to tolerate lactose into adulthood is an abnormality found mostly in people of European ancestry. Even those people eventually lose their ability to digest lactose and become lactose intolerant. Keith

Those in possession of all the facts are in position to know. We the public are not yet.
I am glad that he was arrested and that he will likely go to the jury if he doesn't plead to a lesser charge. It's sickening any way that you look at this one because in the end a 17 year old BOY is dead and the cops couldn't have possibly cared less and if the child's parents HADN'T called every radio station, TV station and Al Sharpton, Zimmerman would NEVER have been held accountable. The whole thing is disgusting.
George Zimmerman should be investigated.
This story is so out of wack. Everyday something new on the boy comes out that's makes you question whether he is as much of a victim as we are told. Yet he was shot by a guy who chased him down and was the one with a gun. He should be arrested and stand trial.
yeah he should have been arrested that the real problem here arrest him have a hearing if a judge determines he is not a flight risk give him bail like everyone else but you have to make the arrest even if its just for procedure

Romantic comedies always had a prominent place in filmmaking; that is, until a few years ago when it became obvious that the genre had taken a backseat to action, fantasy, animated, thriller, drama, slapstick comedy and virtually every other category of film. From Charlie Chaplin's 1931 silent film City Lights to When Harry Met Sally in the 80's to the 2009 Sandra Bullock, Ryan Reynolds farce The Proposal, romantic comedies were a Hollywood staple for over 75 years. So, why have they suddenly become an endangered species?
When there's a dramatic drop in the number of films being made in a particular genre, it usually means that those types of films simply aren't making a big profit for the studios. This is at least one of the reasons that rom coms have been so few and far between as of late. But why have romantic comedies suddenly fallen out of favor with audiences?
Most likely it is a multi-faceted problem. The biggest issue seems to be the audience itself. The changing demographics of moviegoers has led to a barrage of action, sci-fi and horror films, mostly catering to teenagers and young adults, especially young men who often return to theaters to see the same film multiple times.
Another problem is the substandard quality of the romantic comedies that are currently still being made. Somewhere along the way, it's as if people forgot how to make these films. Poor writing, nonsensical plotlines, along with amateurish producing and directing, has insulted the intelligence of many a romantic comedy fan. Even some of the genre's biggest stars such as Jennifer Aniston, Hugh Grant, or Reese Witherspoon have failed to make many of these films worthwhile.
Some would also argue that audiences have grown weary of the fairly predictable formulas that these films are often based on and that today's moviegoers are too sophisticated for traditional romances.
Whatever the reason for the decline, chances are these films will eventually make a comeback, but in what form? One trend in the few romantic comedies that are being made is that they are less about the romantic storyline, with a bigger focus on the comedy or on subplots. There is also much more sex in the newer films as opposed to many previous rom com's, in which the entire film might take place before a physical relationship between the onscreen couple had been established.
The good news is there is reason to hope that there is a future for quality romance comedies. Although the hit Silver Linings Playbook is typically referred to as a drama, it is also being categorized as a romantic comedy. There are also several promising humorous romances on the horizon including two with the very popular Amanda Seyfried: Wonderful Tonight, and the April 2013 release, The Big Wedding, featuring an all-star cast that includes Robert De Niro, Susan Sarandon, Diane Keaton, and Katherine Heigl.

The Great Nap Debate
August 16, 2010
Preston's at a turning point in his little life right now: He's desperately trying to get rid of one nap, while I am desperately trying to hold onto it. Guess who's losing this battle? Yep, me. I want to keep him on two naps a day, because A) Two naps means two separate breaks in the day for us; B) More importantly, two naps means he'll be able to maintain the late bedtime which, as I've mentioned, is key for my work schedule; and C) If he goes down to one big nap in the middle of the day it makes it really hard for us to go anywhere and do anything in the afternoons. I work all week, so weekends are prime bonding time for us, and it's also when we see our families who happen to live in the suburbs. Translation: We spend almost every weekend commuting back and forth for up to an hour each way. When he was taking two naps, they were at 9/9:30 a.m. - 11:30/12, and again at 3/4 p.m. - 5/6 p.m. That worked out perfectly for everyone involved because we could go out to breakfast before the first nap at the crack of dawn when there were no lines and no hassle; and then we could have an afternoon playdate or trek up to see our family. If he moves to one nap a day, it will likely be around 1 p.m. - 3/4 p.m. How does one make plans around that?
Remember, I've got two days a week to see family and friends, and spend time with Preston. At this point, I'm seeing my friends once every 2-3 weeks if I'm lucky. Once his sleep schedule changes, I will probably be seeing them even less, I'd imagine. Especially my best friend, who's due with her first child in December, and who also just bought a house in the 'burbs; they're moving in October. It's hard to imagine how and when I'll ever see her, especially once her baby arrives -- she'll have a newborn baby to tend to, and I have a full-time job and a one-year-old who will be sleeping in the middle of the day. Coordinating playdates will be rather difficult, if not impossible. And we've pretty much been waiting our whole adult lives to be at this stage together.
"Time" has not been on my side lately, especially on the summer birthday party circuit. A few weeks ago, we showed up to a friend's son's three-year b-day party at the bitter end -- we were literally the last people there, everyone else had already left by the time we arrived. And it wasn't because we're total jerks; Preston was sleeping and we didn't want to wake him, obviously, so we showed up as the party was ending, to bring the gift. Of course my friend understood, that's not even the issue. The bigger problem is, Preston is a different age than all of our friends' kids. There are about four kids that are two months younger than he is; and even more that are older by a few months to a few years. As a toddler, the small age difference won't matter, but as a baby it makes all the difference, because everyone's at different stages. And once his sleep schedule officially changes, he'll be more in line with the older kids than he will be with the younger kids.
That is, if you don't count the crawling/walking thing. Did I mention he's still not doing either yet? Not that I'm at all worried that he's turning one in two weeks but has never seen the light of day on all fours. Or his knees. Sure, he gets around, by flip-flopping from stomach to back, and he's standing better with our help, but as far as any real independent mobility goes: nada, zilch. Fingers crossed that the next time I mention this I will have a different story to tell...
Sunday we actually made it to one of my best friend's son's two-year birthday party on time -- it was called for 4 p.m., and we got there at 4:30. That's as "on time" as you can expect to be with an infant. Preston went down for his morning nap at 11:30 and slept till almost 2 p.m., so it worked out quite perfectly. But here's the pickle: His own birthday party is this coming Sunday, and I hadn't considered the shifting sleep schedule when I booked it for 1 p.m. Now that he's trying to get rid of the two naps and go down to one nap a day, which is what's been happening the last couple of weeks, I'm a little concerned he won't be up for his own party -- or, that he will be up but he'll be cranky. And no one likes a cranky baby, especially the parents of said cranky baby.
The days of manipulating his naps, or anything he does for that matter, are quickly becoming a thing of the past.
We're actually considering waking him up at 7 a.m., since lately he's been sleeping till 8 a.m. Then we might have a shot at getting him to go down for a morning nap before the party starts. I'm perfectly okay with him going down to one nap at 12 months, if that's what he wants, but is it too much to ask for him to do this after next weekend, once his party is over?
How old were your kids when they went from two naps to one? Did you try to manipulate their sleep schedule, and did it backfire? So far we've been successful with how we've manipulated his bedtime to be 8:30/9 p.m., but the rest he pretty much dictates himself at this point. Is it a losing battle from here on out? What are the advantages/disadvantages to one nap vs. two naps?

Episode 1F22Written by Dan McGrath Directed by Jim Reardon Also starring: Pamela Hayden, Maggie Roswell, Russi Taylor
Premise: A heatwave hits Springfield, and the Simpsons' new 'Tinkler' pool makes Bart the most popular kid in town - until an accident leaves him bed-ridden and Lisa usurps his position. Idling at his bedroom window, Bart sees Ned Flanders digging a hole in his garden and crying 'I'm a murderer!'
Features: Hans Moleman, Spotty Boy, Principal Skinner, Otto, Martin Prince, Jimbo, Kearney, Dolph, Nelson, Sherri and Terri, Milhouse, Dr Hibbert, Krusty, Ned Flanders, Rod and Todd, Wiggum, Lou and Eddie, Ralph Wiggum, Wendell, Grampa, Maude Flanders.
Couch: The Simpsons are already in the living room, sat on mid-air: the sofa is missing. Then the parts of the sofa rush in and sit on them.
Homage: The episode is, in part, a homage to the movie Rear Window (Alfred Hitchcock, 1954), adapted from a short story by Cornell Woolnch, in which the wheelchair-bound James Stewart spies a possible murder. Stewart's character pops up twice in lovingly re-created sequences.
The Simpsons' first attempt to construct the pool is a lift from Witness (Peter Weir, 1985), and comes complete with Amish bystander. The pool dance display features Lisa in an Esther Williams-esque role. Bart's surreal play has touches of Chekhov. And the Itchy and Scratchy episode contains references to Planet of the Apes (Franidin J. Schnaffner, 1968), Beneath the Planet of the Apes (Ted Post, 1970) - the mind-bending mutants and the Star Trek episode The Menagerie.
Itchy and Scratchy in: Planet of the Aches.
Look out for: Klassic Krusty, summertime reruns of Krusty's old shows, featuring (fictional) guest appearances from labour-leader George Meaney (in black and white, from 6 February, 1961) and sitar wizard Ravi Shankar. Also, Homer's instinctive response to anyone getting in the way of the TV screen.
Notes: This fine episode was made for the fifth season, but held over as the premiere for the sixth. For a moment you really believe Flanders has gone crazy. The eventual explanation for his murderous behaviour is hilarious.

Having contradictory thoughts about the debt ceiling? You're not alone.
People think the government spends too much, but they like their federal programs just as they are. Congress's budget-master Doug Elmendorf is here to help.
(Page 2 of 2)
The Post poll also found that while big majorities of both Republicans and Democrats agree that defaulting on the debt would be really bad for the economy, opinion breaks down along party lines over whether Congress should raise the debt ceiling. Democrats are for it, Republicans are against it.

So, it seems, politics plays a big part in how people feel about what to do when the government reaches the end of its borrowing authority in mid-October.
Maybe we shouldn't even be paying attention to polls on the debt ceiling, some commentators suggest.
"There's nothing quite as useless as a debt-ceiling poll," writes Steve Benen on the liberal "Maddow Blog." "Folks have no idea what the debt ceiling is, what default is, what bond markets are, or what the full faith and credit of the United States means, so polling on the subject tells us nothing."
Lots of people think agreeing to raise the debt ceiling means signing up for more debt, when in fact, it's about paying debts already incurred, Mr. Benen says.
Congress routinely raised the debt ceiling more than 100 times over the years, until 2011. Then, raising the debt ceiling got embroiled in budget negotiations, and the nation went to the edge of its borrowing authority, straining the economy and hurting the political standing of the president and Republicans. Standard & Poor's lowered America's credit rating.
Such ugly policymaking is unnecessary in a representative democracy, Benen suggests.
"Indeed, at a certain level, the American public is counting on elected officials to do right by the country, even if the public doesn't know it," he writes.
But now that the debt ceiling has been politicized, it may be hard to go back to the way things used to be. The CBO's Elmendorf, whose job is to serve members of Congress, says there's little he can actively do to promote public understanding of the nation's fiscal imbalance – and the choices Americans face.
At least, he says, there's the CBO website.
"I think that by making our work for the Congress available more broadly, we are helping to educate people," Elmendorf says. "But of course, the people who find their way to our website are going to be those who are disproportionately, one might say rather peculiarly, interested in the federal budget."
Elmendorf says the same holds true of the Fiscal Wake-up Tour that he and other budget experts did a few years back, before his CBO days. They held talks around the country to chambers of commerce and student groups, as well as on local TV.
"I felt like the audience was disproportionately people who were already going to the CBO website," he says. "So there's a little problem of preaching to the choir."

Idaho man heads to court after terrorism arrest
BOISE, Idaho (AP) - An Uzbekistan national living in Idaho is expected to appear in federal court Friday on charges he conspired with a terrorist group on a scheme to use a weapon of mass destruction.
Federal agents raided the Boise apartment of 30 year old Fazliddin Kurbanov Thursday after a grand jury issued a three-count indictment accusing him of federal terrorism charges.
The indictment alleges Kurbanov gave money, computer software and other resources to the Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan - a designated foreign terrorist group.
He's also charged with helping prepare for the use of a weapon of mass destruction.
Federal prosecutors say any potential threat has been contained by his arrest.
A separate federal grand jury indictment accuses him of taking part in terrorist activity in Utah earlier this year.
