Newtown officials are meeting to debate what to do with the Sandy Hook Elementary School building, where 20 first-graders and six educators were gunned down in a December massacre.
In light of the Sandy Hook massacre, Dr. Koplewicz and the Child Mind Institute have spearheaded the campaign, Speak Up, which encourages parents and children to communicate about the child's mental health.
"It is rare to have a school shooting, it is not rare for the 15 million kids (with mental health problems) out there to have a bad outcomes: to have academic failure, substance abuse, to bully or be bullied, to have trouble with the law, to be unemployed," said Dr. Koplewicz.

I just got the comforter and it exceeds all expectations. SO glad I bought this. First off the burgundy is more of a Christmasy deep red. It looks and feels amazing. The quality is excellent. It is plush, soft, cozy, and warm. I HIGHLY recommend this comforter and the shams are excellent with a berber fleece back to make them extra soft. I LOVE this comforter!
Bought this in a king size to use on our queen guest bed. I will still need a bedskirt, but love the generous size. Guests have slept in that bed and raved about the comforter, asking where I got it.
I am SO in love with this comforter and shams...the berber side is sooooooo soft it is amazing! I thought of berber as a carpet...this is soft and warm beyond imagination. I feel like a princess when I crawl under this comforter. I may even buy another one for my daughter so she will get out of MINE. :)
I bought this blanket for my wife as a birthday gift, we live in Colorado and its very cold at night. My wife is usually cold at night so I thought this would keep her warm. We used to have three blankets on our bed at night. One down comforter and two smaller blankets. Now that we have this blanket we sleep with it and only one small blanket. It is very warm and extremely soft. You would love this blanket if you like to be comfortable. Plus it is a great price, I looked at other sites for the same blanket and overstock beats all the competition.
Bought this for my son's room. Very soft dark brown corduroy. Lightweight yet very soft and warm. The shams are thin but are very well made with zipper closures and look great with a fluffy pillow inside. Great looking!!! And a great price..........thank you!!
I bought these covers for my sons room for warmth and it was a good shade of blue for the room' color scheme. He was very happy with the covers and I am happy with the way it looks.
This is a really cozy and attractive comforter. Was looking for something that doesn't clash (no loud patterns!), is warm, machine washable, good to the touch and preferred cordouroy. This met expectations on all counts at a great price.
I purchased in Blue F/Q for my kids room. It it a great quality set for the price. So warm and thick. The kids love it and I'm kind of jealous. I might order one for me too. So nice.
Bought this for a cold bedroom, it looks great, warm but surprisingly lightweight. Just what I wanted.
What a great warm soft comforter. LOVE IT. Super warm (sometimes even too warm), whole family wants one now!

You might not have time to hit up a lengthy studio class after the office, but you do have time to flow through a short 20-minute sequence. Press play below to kick off the warrior yoga playlist, and begin by building internal heat with five rounds of Sun Salutation A followed by five rounds of Sun Salutation B. Once you're good and loosened up, move through the rest of these powerful poses. Your body and mind will thank you. You will need to download the free Spotify software or app to listen to our playlists. Source: Corbis Images Standing Forward Bend What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 After you've moved through five rounds of Sun Salutation A followed by five rounds of Sun Salutation B, you're going to fall in love with Standing Forward Bend. Begin in Mountain Pose at the front of your mat. Inhale, and reach your arms straight above you. As you exhale, engage your abs, and fold forward with a straight back. Tuck your chin in toward your chest, relax your shoulders, and extend the crown of your head toward the floor to create a long spine. Shift your weight forward onto your toes, straightening your legs as much as possible. Place your hands on the ground, fingertips lining up with the toes. Hold here for 10 breaths. Source: Laughing River Yoga Studio 1 / 10 Warrior 1 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Trusty Warrior 1 works your whole body and sets the sequence out on a strong note. After Standing Forward Bend, step back to Downward Facing Dog. Step your right foot forward between your hands. Turn your left heel in, press into your feet, and lift your torso up. Lift your arms up, and press your palms together. Draw your shoulder blades down toward your hips, and gaze up at your hands. Stay here for five breaths. Then come back to Downward Facing Dog, step your left foot forward, and do Warrior 1 on the other side. Source: Louisa Larson Photography 2 / 10 Warrior 2 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Don't bail when Warrior 2 feels tough. Use your powerful legs to stretch out your body, long and strong. From Downward Facing Dog, step your right foot forward between your palms, and come into Warrior 1. Extend your arms out in T position as you rotate your torso to the left, coming into Warrior 2. Ideally, your front thigh should be parallel to the ground and your right knee directly over your right ankle. Make sure your shoulders are stacked directly above your pelvis. Gaze past your right fingertips, holding for five breaths. Then return to Downward Facing Dog. Step your left foot forward, and do this pose on the other side. Source: Louisa Larson Photography 3 / 10 Warrior 3 What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Bring some heat to your core and challenge your balance with Warrior 3. Come back for a brief Warrior 1 with your right knee forward, lower your torso, and lift your left leg, bringing your body parallel with the ground. Extend your hands out in front of you, pressing your palms together firmly. If it bothers your shoulders to press your hands together, separate your arms, so they're shoulder-width apart. If extending your arms creates pain or pressure in your lower back, then rest your hands on your hips. Engage your abs, holding this position for five deep breaths. Then lower your left leg, returning to Warrior 1. Release your hands to the mat, and come into Downward Dog. Step your left leg forward, coming into Warrior 1. Repeat Warrior 3 on the left side. Source: Louisa Larson Photography 4 / 10 Half Moon What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Float into a Half Moon Pose to give your side body some love. From Warrior 3 on your left side, step back for a Vinyasa (Four-Limbed Staff to Up Dog to Down Dog). Once you're in Downward Facing Dog, step your right foot forward between your hands, and rise up into Warrior 1. Open your hips, arms, and chest into Warrior 2. Place your left hand on your left hip, and stretch your right arm straight out, creating length through the right side of your body. Shift your weight onto your right foot, and lift your left foot up. Plant your right palm flat on the ground under your shoulder. Distribute your weight evenly between your right hand and foot. Lift your left arm up, and gaze toward your left hand. Hold for five breaths, and then release the pose, coming into Downward Dog. Then try Half Moon on the left side. Source: Louisa Larson Photography 6 / 10 Pigeon What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Pigeon Pose works to open tight hips. From Downward Facing Dog, step both feet together, and bring your left knee forward between your hands, so your outer left leg is resting on the mat. If your hips are more open, then inch your left foot away from you. Make sure your right hip is always pointing down toward the mat. Stay here with your hands resting on your hips or your left leg, or walk your hands out in front of you, allowing your torso to rest over your left knee. Hold here, breathing into any areas of tightness and tension for at least five breaths. Then place your hands on the mat in front of you, tuck your right toes, and step your left foot back in Downward Dog. Repeat Pigeon on the right side. Source: Louisa Larson Photography 6 / 10 Butterfly What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Butterfly Pose also helps to stretch your hips, but it also releases tension from your lower back. From Downward Facing Dog, move through your final Vinyasa (Four-Limbed Staff to Up Dog to Down Dog). Drop down to all fours, and then come to a seated position on your bottom. Bend both knees, and bring your feet together. Using your hands, open your feet up like a book, pressing your knees toward the floor with your elbows. If you want more of a stretch, then extend your arms out in front of you. Stay here for 10 breaths. Source: Louisa Larson Photography 7 / 10 Head to Knee A What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Loosen up hamstrings with this calming posture. Once you've finished Butterfly Pose, keep your right knee bent, and place the sole of your foot against your inner thigh, pulling your heel as close to your body as you can. Inhale to sit up tall, and exhale as you fold your torso over your left leg. Rest your hands on the floor on either side of your leg or on your shin, or wrap your hands around your left foot. Stay here for five breaths, sit up, and repeat this pose on the right side. Source: Laughing River Yoga Studio 8 / 10 Bridge Pose What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Open your heart with Bridge Pose. Once you've finished Head to Knee A on both sides, lie flat on your back with your arms along the sides of your body, palms facing down. Bend your knees, placing your heels as close as you can to your bum. With your palms and feet pressing firmly into the ground, lift your hips up. Keep your palms on the mat, or clasp your hands together below your pelvis, extending through your arms. Or you can also bend your elbows and rest your hands on your lower back. If your feet are close enough, you can also hold your ankles. Stay here for five deep breaths, lifting your hips up as high as you can. Source: Louisa Larson Photography 9 / 10 Savasana What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Seal your short practice with a relaxing rest pose. Lie on your back, and close your eyes. In order to relax and open your body fully, extend your arms a few inches away from the body, palms facing up. Put about 15 to 20 inches between your heels, allowing your feet to fall open with your toes pointing out. Actively shrug your shoulder blades down toward your hips. Lengthen through your spine as much as possible, relaxing your lower back toward the floor. After you've found a comfortable position, stay there for as long as you want, if your schedule allows for it. If you're short on time, remain in Savasana at least until your heart rate slows down and your breath returns to its natural, soothing rhythm.

Graduate Studies in the DBG December 6th, 2013
Folks, there is more email traffic from PhD applicants than I can respond to. I have posted previously on what your application should look like, so scroll thru our News to see specifics.
Here are the first things I look at when I review an application:
1. Your math (this filters out about 90% of the applicants with BME undergraduate degrees…gotta take PDEs and complex variables)
2. Your lab experience
3. Your grades
4. Your reference letters. If the best thing your letter writer can say is that you sat in front of class, asked questions, turned in HWs, and got an A in the class, that doesn't really distinguish you.
5. Your essays. Nothing is done until its published. If you can't write a good response to an essay question, with good English, sentence and paragraph structure, I can't take you.

New restaurants, condos and boating access points.
Greenville city leaders say you could see it all along the Tar River in upcoming years.
"We have this resource right here and it is so beautiful, and yet, there's not easy access to it," says Gary Fenton, director of Greenville's Recreation and Parks Dept.
His department's plan to revamp the riverfront will kick off with an intensive study of a 7-mile stretch of the river. It will run from the 264 Bypass to the future East Side Park.
They plan to hire a consulting firm this month to analyze existing river conditions and pinpoint ways to improve it.
"I envision seeing kayaks on the river, a couple of boat launches, piers where people can fish, some type of housing, developments, restaurants, the possibilities are endless," says Lamarco Morrison, a parks planner for Greenville's Recreation and Parks Dept.
But the possibilities don't come cheap. The study alone will cost taxpayers $200,000, which was already allotted in next year's budget. Then there will be additional costs to make it happen.
"We don't look at it as an expenditure, but more as an investment," Morrison says.
It's an investment Dennis Mitchell, Greenville city councilman at large and initiator of the study, says is key to making Greenville the economic hub of the East.
"This is going to be something transformational," Mitchell says. "This is not something small. We really want to look at it and do it right. It's going to have to be something we have to invest in."
Mitchell says he wants to model the river plan after those in cities like Richmond, Virginia and San Antonio, Texas.
Recreation and Parks officials are accepting proposals from consulting firms through the end of this month and will present a plan to City Council on Oct. 7th.

Alamos to Mazatlan
So I was on the road about 830 from Alamos. I didn't need more than a night there. Fun and very scenic but I wanted to get on the move. Stopped at Aduana. There is a church there with a cactus growing out the side of it. Great fun little road running into Aduana also.
The Church
Very crooked picture but I liked the light.
Cool Bridge
Small Plaza
Not a lot of pics this day. I have ridden through some of this area before and was just enjoying the ride. So much so I decided that I would stay a little south of Culiacan. Just out of the town a little bit so I don't have to deal with the city in the am. I went a little to far south and kept waiting for a hotel to pop and nothing!! Pulled over on the side of the road and gave a quick look. Hmmm not really any hotels between Culiacan and Mazatlan. Guess I am going to have a big day. Off I go!!! Pulled into Mazatlan right at sunset. 2 days hanging here then a short ride to San Blas followed by 3 nights in Sayulita.

Air freight unless a boat a falls into place. There is not a ferry but people willing to provide the service of transporting person and moto.
The Stathlett(spelling) aka the steel rat and Fritz the Cat are two that you will see mentioned in the moto community. Due to time and ease I am 90% sure that I doing air freight. I also have a "guy" that is a friend of a friend in the import biz in Colombia handling it. All true no joking at all. Waiting to hear back

Mazatlan was fun and a cool place to hang out. Especially since I dont usually like the touristy places and busy ones at that. It was just a chill big beach town. Spent the day walking the beach swimming and checking out the resorts. You can stay just across the street from the beach and then go hang out by the pool at any of the nice hotels. Nobody really seemed to mind. Beer was 2 for the price of one everywhere. So every time I wanted just A BEER, I got two. So an afternoon of that with beach time and checking out some NFL scores and the day was gone. Went to Joes Oyster Bar that night for an app and more 2 for 1 beers and the place was hoping on a Sunday!
Good times in Maz. I could spend more time there. There is an odd scene though. There are brand new amazing resorts right next to huge abandon resorts. Hard for me to believe that it is all a function of economy when more resorts are being built. One guy told me a drug boss owned one (Balboa Resort) and got shot or went to jail. Not sure which with the language barrier. I also dont know if its the truth or just what he believed. I walked around the abandon Balboa Resort and it was very creepy. Beds made and rooms ready to be checked into with doors ajar and smashed windows.
Stayed in a really inexpensive place my first night and nice people that operated it but I needed a better bed and more importantly better internet connection. Interesting idea for luke warm water!
And they have VIP parking
Neat car in Maz
Who it this ...
Tough to beat this
Maz Castle. Hotel I think
Pics dont show it but this entire property is abandon. Including tall building in the back ground.
More beach front contradiction
On the wall in the hallway of my first hotel. I dont know what to say but
TOTALLY AWESOME!!!!! I have ordered a print and can get a bulk discount for those of you interested!!
Off to San Blas tomorrow. Since it is not that long of a ride I decided to get creative with the route. This GS thing is made for off road right!!!

New ADV route from Maz to San Blas
Knowing that Maz to San Blas was a short ride and that San Blas is a small melow town. I thought to myself what better way to spend the day than some solo off road research.
My idea was to head to the coast at Tecuala then hook left and connect to San Blas through Santa Cruz. Guji Roji says I can do it and BiCi maps isn't totally disagreeing. Off I go and I think that things are looking pretty good. I take a right off the highway and cruise for 30 min or so and there is my nice paved left turn. Oh I got this! After about 15 or 20 min the road starts to turn to dirt and broken pavement. This is exactly what I am looking for. I go through the last small town right when school is getting out. Kids and adults stare at me like what is the dude doing? And where does he think he is going? I know this look in any language because I have been getting it my entire life.
The road is now all dirt, not great and congested with cows. No pictures because I focused on not dropping my bike in the very soft sand and trying to see through the sweat pouring into my eyes!! I start to get pretty far out there and now I am questioning my decision making. Another common theme in my life. Two amigos in a beat up old pick come from the direction I am headed. Great I must be able to make it. But I will ask in my very weak Spanish to give these guys a god chuckle anyway. They say no bueno lots of other words and lots more other other words and no bueno again. Okay some more words and now the reason!! Canal with no bridge!! Know what the word for canal in Spanish is? Canal!!! I just increased my vocab! Had I looked at google maps I would have known this.
But a lesson learned another cool experience and helpful people out in the middle of no where. People seem very willing to help Loco Gringo on Grande Moto in a ridiculous amount of gear. Works for me.
Okay time to turn around. This is the one pic I took on my way back to the highway. It looks like San Blas but it is North on the same river.
By the time I get to San Blas I am pretty sure I have lost 20% off my body weight in sweat. Drank 4 liters of water and still was dying. Blow budget and go for super nice hotel with pool? Or...never mind the or that pool had my name all over it!!
Said Oasis!
San Blas Cathedral at night
One of my favorite pics of this trip so far
Since I went for the nice hotel I have a great internet connection and decide to lurk here on ADV rider in the Is Mexico Safe(aka your daily gossip column). I check to see if there are any big developments in the area I am in or going to next. Big discussion TVIP and 30 or 180 day stuff. Another rider only got a 30 day and didn't know until he got to the southern border of Mex. He lost his $400 deposit and hassle at the border. I think what a bummer and decide I will check my paper work. OH SHIT!!! I only have a 30 day TVIP and catch a plane form PV back to AK for my last 2 weeks of work in 4 days!!! My flight lands back in PV on the 30th and my TVIP expires on the 29th. My bike is pretty sweet but I haven't found the time travel button yet! I will call BMW tech support after I am done freaking out!!! Time to make a new plan!!

A day in PV to handle the paper work issue
I think about my dilemma and get some advice from other ADV riders. The prevailing advice is ride back to the US/Mexico border and get it handled. Not really an option given my schedule with flights and all. I slowly pack my stuff up in San Blas and think pool side. I have googled and gotten emails on INM(Immigration) Offices, US Consulate(satellite office) and there is actually an Aduana in PV. I decide that I am going to take the day and just get it all figured out. With some patience and persistence this will all work out.
I even went armed with a fake story about a sick relative in AK and I had to fly back for an emergency. Thank you google translate. I will save everyone the pain of the entire story. The short version is after a day and four different offices. No one could do anything. Ran across some nice understanding people and some not so nice people, one lady specifically at the 2nd INM office. I am down to 2 options. 1. Get back to Mexico earlier 2. Let permit expire and apply for a 5 day travel pass. Takes 2-3 days to get is and it was vague as to how it all worked. The process had some gaps. Not making it to the border causes me to lose $400 bucks and I assume a big hassle. I was also told that if your TVIP is not valid than your insurance is not valid. Lastly they(Mexico Legal Types) can seize your bike. haven't heard of it happening but I don't like the sounds of it!!
I swallowed my pride and called and asked my boss for another favor, you know on top of the leave of absence. I am now fly back to PV on the 25(late afternoon) and start to ride on the 26. That gives me 3 days to do just over 1200 miles and make it to the Guatemala border.
This should be interesting...

I did enjoy a couple of days in Sayulita surfing and just chilling knowing there was nothing left I could do on the paper work front except change my flight back to PV to an earlier date.
This is the ride from San Blas to Sayulita. If you ever do that ride be sure not to go back to the highway. Take the coastal route. It is great.
How can I worry about paper work with views like this...
and this
I met a really nice couple from Canada(Bernie and Linda) that has done a lot of touring around Mexico and also ridden to Panama.
Here is the VIP parking
A nice hotel with great owners and guests. I cant remember the name but I know where it is. There is small pool to cool off in and a real sense of community at the hotel.
The first night I was there they had a big steak dinner and wouldn't take no for an answer. It was great!!
Some of the crew.
I did the dishes to make an attempt at pulling my weight. A great meal with great company.
Sayulita is fun and friendly town. It is pricey by Mexico standards but it is very chill and safe. A great surf break too. I have been here twice and enjoyed my time here a lot.
Off to Bodegas Vallarta to store the bike and then to the airport.
Back in just over 2 weeks for a hard ride to Guatemala.
BTW I timed this report so I am now back on the road and can give you the ride to Guatemala in real time.

You're my first reply since I joined !!!
Hi there Smitty,
I plan on making a road trip from NYC to Buenos Aires (via Chile), and then up the eastern coast of S.A. As a result I've discovered this site to study others experience. Yours is the first I'm responding to, since I joined yesterday. You're welcome !! (Oh, The glory, honor, and pride you must be feeling as you read this !!!).
Anyway, I'm impressed with your trip, and even more impressed with your doing it alone. You're brave! I look forward to following your thread. I am also trying to figure out how long I will need to plan my trip. Thanks for your input, and keep it up !!
Thanks, David.

Thanks David.
I was planning for a while before I found this website but it has helped me a ton. There are a lot of people out there doing similar trips that I have gained a lot of knowledge from. I would say this website gave me the final kick in the ass and confidence to go it alone.
I do the report for family and friends but also to pass along knowledge to other riders. This website and other riders helped me a lot and I feel I should pay it back by doing the same.
Hit me up with any specific questions. I am learning stuff everyday.

France is affectionately referred to as "the Hexagon" for its overall shape.
French history goes back to the Gauls, a Celtic tribe which inhabited the area circa 300BC until being conquered by Julius Caesar.
The Franks were the first tribe to adopt Catholic Christianity after the Roman Empire collapsed. France became an independent location in the Treaty of Verdun in (843 AD), which divided up Charlemagne's Carolingian Empire into several portions.
The French monarchy reached its zenith during the reign of Louis XIV, the Sun King, who stood for seventy-two years as the Monarch of all Monarchs. His palace of Versailles and its Hall of Mirrors are a splendid treasure-trove of Baroque art.
The French Revolution ended the rule of the monarchy with the motto "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity!" On July 14th, 1789 angry mobs stormed La Bastille prison and began the Revolution in which Louis XVI, his wife Marie-Antoinette and thousands of others met the guillotine.
One decade after the revolution, Napolean Bonaparte seized control of the Republic and named himself Emperor. His armies conquered most of Europe and his Napoleonic Code became a lasting legal foundation for concepts of personal status and property.
During the period of colonization France controlled the largest empire in the world, second only to Britain.
France is one of the founding members of the European Union and the United Nations, as well as one of the nuclear armed nations of the world.

When a strong contender that effectively earned 50 percent of the vote is rewarded with zero percent of the opportunity, the system has failed.The above quotation, taken from Dr. Saturday's latest anti-BCS diatribe, succinctly sums up why I oppose a playoff as, quite literally, un-American. Re-read that quotation. Has the U.S. Constitution failed when the electoral college awards the White House to one presidential candidate in a closely-contested election rather than installing co-chief executives in the Oval Office? Under our system of government, a strong contender effectively earning 50 per cent of the vote but being rewarded with zero per cent of the opportunity is a phenomenon that occurs routinely, which serves as an affirmation of the system, not an indictment of it. Indeed, it is what allows the system to function. There are reasonable arguments in favor of a playoff, and Matt Hinton regularly offers many of them. This is not one of them, as 225 years of American constitutional history confirm. Go 'Dawgs!

New Commitments
Because every family deserves the blessing of a child with Down Syndrome...
We have two beautiful homegrown girls and last year we were blessed to add our son Hironari to our family from Japan. We call him Hiro, and he truly is our little hero! He has come SO far in the year that he's been home with us and we are so thankful God chose us to be his forever family! When he came home I mentioned in passing to our agency that if another baby with Down syndrome ever came available for adoption to please let us know because we'd love for Hiro to have someone to grow up with. Never did we think that call would come so soon. In June we were contacted about a baby who needed a family and quickly… she came home to us at the beginning of August and we were all so in love. She was pure perfection. We had her for 24 very short hours when we received the call that her birth mother had changed her mind and had decided to parent. When we brought her back a strong storm hit our area and the rain flooded the streets. The rain felt so fitting for the sadness that poured from our hearts and out of our eyes. We knew that the heavens were crying out, but as we started the drive home the rains stopped and a rainbow crossed the sky. God's promise. We were and continue to be heart broken for the baby we prepared for. She will always hold a place in our hearts that no other child will fill. She was ours and we were hers. Just as before, we knew that there was a child out there waiting that needed us. So when a friend sent me a picture of the most beautiful baby boy my heart leapt. We prayed together about adding him to our family and the answer was yes. He will be ours and we can't wait to welcome him into our waiting arms. Hold tight baby boy… Mommy and Daddy are coming!
Doug and Jackie have been married 31 years and have been blessed with four children, two adopted and two biological, and one grandson. They live in a rural community in Southern Ohio where they are active in their church and community. They live a simple life that revolves around faith, family and friends. Doug and Jackie have continued to feel a desire to add more children to their family even though they were older than the traditional adopting parents. They felt that God was preparing them for an exciting adventure. After being asked to accompany a friend on two pick-up trips, Doug and Jackie felt even more strongly that more children were in their future and were praying for God's guidance. When they saw Reed's profile on Reece's Rainbow they knew that this was the child that God had for them. They anxiously await their journey to meet the child that God is giving them.
Blake and Crystal have 2 young biological daughters and thought their family was complete. Little did they know that God would lead them to Reece's Rainbow through friends who adopted a little girl from Eastern Europe last Christmas. Crystal scrolled through the many faces of children who need families and read many blogs of adoptive parents. After learning about the neglect of these children, they prayed. A lot! They had never seriously considered adoption. Especially international adoption. They are planners. They are not risk-takers. But they love children. They love God. They want to be obedient to God's calling.
Since they have two girls they decided if they were to adopt they would like to add a boy to the family. They were waiting for clarity from God of what age of boy, from which country, what type of special needs, when to start the process. One day the older daughter talked of a discussion she had with Blake about getting a boy in the family. Blake said they never had the discussion so they believe it must have been a dream. They were wondering what God was up to! Then about four days later they were presented with Everett's information and fell in love. The decision was prayerfully, fearfully, obediently made to add this precious little boy to their family.
They appreciate your prayers for provision, protection, unity, peace, and health.

Harlan and Andrea met in junior high, became friends in high school, started dating in college, and were married in June of 2012. They were both born and raised in rural North Dakota and attribute their values of hard work, family, friends, and faith in God to their upbringing in this area.
Harlan and Andrea developed a love and passion for working with individuals with special needs while working at a local summer camp devoted to providing services to children and adults with disabilities in North Dakota.
The subject of adoption came up frequently and was talked about as something they would do "some day." A divine encounter with a mom of a child adopted through Reece's Rainbow changed their whole outlook on the plan to adopt. This mom told Harlan about the journey they went through to bring their son home – sparking an urgency to their plan to adopt.
Harlan and Andrea made the decision to grow their family through adoption. They are very excited to make this dream of theirs a reality. They appreciate anyone who chooses to partner with them by supporting financially, emotionally or through prayer for their little boy.

Katherine has worked with children as a social worker for almost 14 years. Around 6 years ago she decided she was ready to become a mom. After carefully researching different options she decided on international adoption. She was hoping and praying for the perfect toddler to add to her life. After waiting for a referral for a year she found her first daughter in Bulgaria on the waiting child list. Katherine quickly updated her dossier to match her daughter's age and special needs and excitedly prepared for her. Maria came home from Bulgaria June 2012 and Katherine entered parenthood with a preteen. The past two years Katherine has been focusing on managing Maria's spina bifida and ensuring that Maria has the opportunities to experience life fully. Katherine also spent time helping Maria's close friends find from the orphanage adoptive families. Over the past two years it has been obvious to Katherine that their family is not complete and that Maria misses having the close sibling relationship she had with specific peers in the orphanage. Over the past year Katherine has considered starting the adoption process, but that was put on hold this past spring due to Maria needing 3 unexpected surgeries. Thankfully Maria is recovering well. This summer Katherine saw Layla and knew that she would be the perfect little sister for their family.

Kelly and Kyle's family has grown twice through the gift of adoption. The two beautiful souls that proudly call them Mama and Papa have changed their lives in ways they never would have imagined.
Their hearts are full and happy.
Knowing that their home and lives are set up for little ones with Down Syndrome, they talked about finding a baby girl to complete their family. Starr fits the bill just perfectly!
Any help you can offer them as they bring Starr home is most appreciated!
8/19/2014—HOMESTUDY in PROCESS
While at the RR Family Reunion this year I met a little boy who had the ability to draw in a crowd! He was adorable and sweet and had a continual smile on his face! I couldn't wait to meet the parents of this little firecracker!
I continued to watch him and finally figured out who he "belonged" to. I was shocked to find out he was an orphan being hosted by a RR family for the summer and would be sent back to the orphanage the end of August. He looked about 7 or 8 years old but was actually 12. I had a hard time imagining what his life was like back there. My husband and I were already in process to bring home a little RR sweetie from another country so I never imagined it would even be possible to be his Mama too; I was wrong!
We had to make some phone calls, change homestudy agencies and have a LOT of Faith that fundraising would go well! But WE DO BELIEVE that he is our SON and he will be home soon with the help of our family and friends in real life and in the cyber world! No donation is too small and will mean the world to our SON!
8/11/2014—HOMESTUDY UPDATE in PROCESS
When Richard and Valerie Rieben were married 12 years ago they never could've imagined the adventures that awaited them. In 2005, just 2.5 years after saying "I do," the Rieben's welcomed biological triplets Maren, Lukas and Jacob into the family. But the adventures didn't stop there! In 2007, the family grew by two when Joshua was adopted from Uzbekistan and Evan from Ukraine. Life with five under five was so much fun that the Rieben's decided to invite a few more to the party and in 2010 Alayna, Lilyana and Alexis joined them from Bulgaria. Realizing that they were still a few players short of a baseball team, they brought Benjamin and Thomas home from Bulgaria in 2012 bringing them to double digits! They say that things are cheaper by the dozen and, with three seats left in their 15-passenger van, the Rieben's have decided to cross the pond one last time to bring Jesse, Sam and Bowden home! Won't you join them in the adventure by supporting them on this wild ride!? After all, the more the merrier!

Hi! I'm Cecelia! My mommy and daddy adopted me from Kazakhstan back in 2009. I came to my forever home a week before my first birthday. Mommy and daddy have been trying very hard since soon after I came home to adopt a sibling for me. They say that countries have closed and referrals have been lost (whatever that means). But FINALLY, we have found my little brother in India! While we aren't allowed to publicly share his photo, you can take my word for it, he's a cutie! Mommy and I have been working on a list of all the things we need to teach my brother when he gets home. Priority number one is to teach him how long we've wanted him here and how much we love him!
Will you please consider making a donation to help get my brother home? I'm dying to be a big sister! Thank you!

Once upon a time, in the wild land of Montana, there lived a young boy named Chad. He grew up with two brothers and loved playing sports and exploring the mountains around his home. There also lived a young lady named Whitney who grew up in the land of Kansas, far far away. Growing up among the wheat fields, she played sports along with her brother and sister and helped around the house. Little did Chad and Whitney know, God had a very special plan in store for them.
Among many other pursuits, each of them learned to throw the javelin. Each having shown a talent for the sport, a college recruiter named Robert whisked them off to the exotic land of California where they met for the first time. Competing together for the track team, they fell in love and were married in September 2000.
They had many adventures together over the next years and moved to the land of Oklahoma, where they decided to start a family of their own. They were blessed with a son, Finley (now 6) and a daughter, Delaney (now 4) before moving again. They settled in the land of Missouri, a short journey to the east of her home land.
It was at this time that God started to open their eyes to the very special path that he had in store for them. He blessed them with another son, Grady (now 2). Now Grady would prove to change the course of their lives forever. He opened their eyes to a world that had been around them all along, but they had never truly seen. Grady, you see, had Down Syndrome. Grady, and this newly discovered world brought untold treasures and blessings into their lives. But God was not finished yet.
Over the next years, God opened their eyes to lands across the vast oceans that had countless children like Grady, that were without families. They were not seen as another of God's precious children, but as outcasts. As mistakes that were not worthy of love and were to be discarded to the edges of society. But what Chad and Whitney saw were thousands of amazing children who had been made in God's image, with his loving hand crafting each of them just as he meant them to be. Children, whose potential and gifts could be unlocked through simply giving them the loving family that they so desperately wanted and deserved.
One little girl touched their hearts and they knew that God was calling them to travel across the ocean to a far off eastern European country and bring her home as their daughter. They knew they couldn't help all of the children, but they could give this one child a life and allow her to become who God had created her to be. But the ruler of this distant land would not allow them to come. They were heartbroken and pray to this day for the situation to be put right.
Time passed and Whitney continued to watch the children on Reece's Rainbow, wondering when the time would be right. After being blessed with another son, Kelby (now 8 weeks), the day came when they knew. They saw another little girl, Francine. God gave them a peace that day, for she was the one that was meant for them. For that moment, all of the excuses, hesitation, and fear melted away and they knew that the time had come. God was calling them down this path, and they had faith that He would provide the strength, wisdom, courage and endurance to meet the challenges and obstacles to come. Only God knows what is to come for their family, but as this beautiful journey unfolds, they would appreciate your thoughts and prayers.

Wendy and Jeff Reed have been abundantly blessed with 9 precious children, four born to them, and five through the miracle of adoption! Many of you are very familiar with the Reed's last adoption journey to China in February 2014 to bring their son Joel home as well as their loss of their sweet daughter Sophia who passed away just days before they were to travel for both of their children. The Reed's are so very thankful to all who were a part of helping to bring Joel home and were a tremendous support in their time of loss and grief. Jeff and Wendy are so very excited to introduce you to their newest treasure, Miss Talia Grace, and the incredibly amazing journey God has set them upon to bring their daughter home.
"Beauty from Ashes" has been a theme that has been entwined throughout the Reed's journey to Talia since they first found out about this beautiful little girl, and from the very beginning of her tiny fragile life. Talia was born with a life threatening condition called biliary atresia that really has no treatment options in the area of China where she is from. Since surgery was not performed at an early age, Talia's liver sustained severe damage, and her only hope for survival was to receive a liver transplant (almost completely non-existent in China!). Her story could have ended there in despair and ashes, but she was given hope when she was moved to a Foster Home in Beijing, China where she miraculously received a liver transplant. Talia has continued to recover and BLOSSOM from that life-saving surgery…a beautiful story of" beauty from ashes" only made possible by God's intervention!
The Reed's were originally in process to adopt BOTH Joel and Talia when they began their adoption journey two years ago. Talia's adoption file was just being compiled and they were eagerly awaiting its completion so that they could adopt both Joel and Talia at the same time. As time went on, there were issues that arose that would stop all adoptions coming out of Talia's region.
After a year into the adoption process, Joel had already been waiting far too long and the Reed's had to make the heartbreaking decision to move forward with his adoption without Talia. The Reed's attention was then turned towards a beautiful little girl on their adoption agency's waiting child list who desperately needed a family that was traveling soon to come for her. Sweet Sophia had a serious heart condition that was inoperable in China and her only hope was for a family that was close to travel to come for her as quickly as possible so that she could receive life-saving heart surgery here in the US. The Reed's wanted to give sweet Sophia the same opportunity for the hope of a healthy future that Talia received with her life-saving liver transplant surgery and so they agreed to move forward towards bringing precious Sophia home. Jeff and Wendy were just 6 days from traveling for both Joel and Sophia when they received the devastating news that Sophia had suddenly passed away. Their sweet baby girl had gained her heavenly Princess Tiara and was now in the arms of our Heavenly Father.
Heartbroken over the loss of Sophia, Jeff and Wendy clung to their faith that in time God would bring "beauty from ashes" once again. Our God is FAITHFUL and He did just that! Shortly after Sophia's passing, the Reed's found out that Talia's adoption paperwork had been released and was finally moving forward again! It took a bit of time and a great deal of patience, but on May 30th the Reed's FINALLY received Talia's adoption file from their new adoption agency and submitted their request to make Talia part of their family!!! They have received Pre-Approval from China to move forward towards bringing Talia home, and so the Reed's begin one last journey to China for their precious daughter! Wendy and Jeff are so excited to see the beautiful painting that God is creating from those ashes and are looking forward to having Talia home in their arms!
Wendy and Jeff invite you to follow along on their journey for Talia Grace, and covet your prayers and support as they work towards bringing her home! Your encouragement and support have been instrumental as they worked towards bringing each of their beautiful treasures home from China and they would not be here without YOU!

Ben and Sarah met in a college art class early in 1996. A snow day where no one else showed up and an assignment to look into each others eyes and make a facial sketch helped along their already emerging relationship. They married in June of that year and embarked on a happy life together.
Within the first five years, three beautiful boys joined their union. Days were filled with collecting rocks (and later finding them clunking around in the dryer!), long walks with the stroller, and exploring the greatness of life. When a daughter joined the family, her feminine touch permeated everyone's hearts. Not long after, one more son blessed their home. They had never been busier, or happier.
But the daughter kept wondering where her sisters were. Her mother had promised that she would have sisters. Over 15 years ago, Sarah had been sent a sweet image from Heaven of two of her future daughters playing together, and this little girl was feeling impatient!
When the next pregnancy ended prematurely, and an emergency hysterectomy was necessary to save Sarah's life, everyone mourned. What had become of the girls Sarah had seen? What about all of the feelings that their family wasn't complete?
Thus began their interest in adoption. As they searched for the programs that felt right, they became discouraged. It seemed as though a loving Heavenly Father just kept telling them to wait, to keep preparing, and to trust Him.
Finally, Sarah was awakened one night with a need to view a blog she hadn't looked at for years, and it reintroduced her to Reece's Rainbow. This time, as she looked through the waiting children, she found one that looked just like one of the little girls she had seen so long ago. After years of searching and seeking, Ben and Sarah feel that they have finally located one of their daughters and the whole family is rejoicing!

Addison and Kristen have been married for almost 4 years and have 5 children between the two of them. Addison raised two girls who are now 26 and 24 years old. His daughters are both married. The oldest has two sons and the youngest has one son. Addison and Kristen adore all three of their grandchildren and are praying for more! Kristen raised three children. Her oldest daughter is 21, her son is 20, and her youngest daughter is 18. They started talking about the possibility of having a child of their own but because both of them thought they were "done" years ago, that wasn't possible. Adoption and fostering had been on Kristen's heart for many years, she just had to convince her husband! They became licensed foster parents a little over a year ago and since then have had 8 foster children in their home. The first time they brought a newborn home to foster, Addison heart began to open to the idea of adoption. As you can imagine, their hearts were broken when they had to say goodbye to that little one. They knew then that they had to start the adoption process, they just didn't know how they would come up with the money. Kristen began to research special needs adoption, specifically Down syndrome adoption when she came across the Reece's Rainbow web page. After looking over the page and falling in love with several of the children, she just knew that THIS was what she was called to do. She showed her husband some of the babies she fell in love with and although his response was warm, he didn't show the excitement that Kristen felt. Kristen decided to do what she could, and at the time, that was to make small donations to families that were in need. Then one day Kristen saw Greta's profile and read several blogs about her and she knew she had to do something more. She talked to Addison again and showed him some of the pictures of some of the available children. She also showed him a blog that was written for Greta and she could not hold the tears back. Kristen's heart was broken for the many orphans that needed a family so desperately and Addison could see how important this was to her. That day Addison's heart began to change and eventually he was open to getting more information on some of the children. Although he was afraid because of the cost, they agreed to commit to a child and they chose Noah from PRC. They struggled with the thought of the cost and the mounds of paperwork but are convinced that they are meant to do this.
After committing to Noah (soon to be named Corbin), they saw the face of another boy they just KNEW was their son. They received PA for their second child, they call Paxton, about a month after receiving PA for little Noah. They are so excited and can't wait to get their boys home. Addison and Kristen have stepped out in faith for these two boys and would appreciate any help they can get whether it be prayers, thoughts, or donations. They wish to send thoughts, prayers, and words of thanks to those that have and will be there to support them and to all the other families that are in this process. God Bless!!

David and Tracy were married in 2000, and have seven children, and two of them are adopted. They began fostering in 2006. They have a passion for the orphan and believe in their hears that the LORD has willed these children that continue to come into their lives. Just when Tracy and David think they're done, God has a different plan for their lives. When Collier, a small boy with Down syndrome from Eastern Europe was first seen by Tracy, she shared him with her husband and they both knew the LORD was leading them to adopt him. David and Tracy are very excited to meet and eventually adopt Collier, they both know God will work out all the details, and that His Will be done. The verse Tracy and David use to confirm the passion that God has placed in their hearts for the orphan is this:
Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress and keep oneself from being polluted by the world. (James 1:27)
Marc and Becky Collier began a relationship in the summer of 2003 and were married in August of 2005. God gave them two beautiful little boys, one in 2008 and one in 2010. After the birth of their youngest, they were sure they were done having biological children, but they were also sure that God had more children in store for them.
From an early age, both Marc and Becky understood the importance of God's call to care for orphans in James 1:27, and they both wanted to be used of God to reach out and care for orphans. They just weren't sure how that would look.
Throughout the year of 2013, both Marc and Becky, through studying God's word, praying, and receiving Christian counsel, felt as though God was bringing them nearer to the world of adoption, but they had so many unanswered questions. How would this fit into their world financially? How would this affect their two boys, one of whom has his own set of special needs? Should they adopt internationally or domestically? Two things they knew for sure: they would NEVER adopt special needs, and they would NEVER disrupt their children's birth order.
Ha, ha.
God placed two families into their lives who were starting the adoption process near the end of 2013. One family adopted a girl domestically; the other family planned to adopt two boys internationally. When shown the two situations, God immediately drew Marc and Becky to the pictures and the stories of the chilren who were wasting away in institutions, who were born into countries that chose not to see the beauty and importance in all human life. And it was apparent to them both that God was softening their hearts towards international adoption.
Early in January of 2014, their friends posted a blog called "Perfect Timing." On it were links to several other children that were in need of homes. All of them had special needs. Becky read the blog and clicked on the links. She went through them once, and said a prayer for each child, asking God to find them a family. When she was finished, she clicked on the last link for a second time. It led to a set of twin girls, born in August of 2007. And though she had just read their bio and seen their pictures, something happened the second time she looked at them.
Becky immediately sat down and wrote out a list entitled "Ten Reasons Why We Should Adopt Nadia and Nancy Now." She hung it on the door for her husband to see when he came home from work. He read it, chuckled, and hung it on the fridge.
The next four months were a time of very difficult growth for both Marc and Becky as they realized that the note on the fridge meant more to each of them than they wanted to admit. They began discussing the possibility of adopting children with special needs who were, in fact, older than their boys. Several times they decided that the idea of adoption needed to be put on hold for one reason or another, but the conviction of the Holy Spirit and the words of scripture would weigh so heavily on their hearts that the idea would once again be brought out for discussion.
Finally, in May, God made it clear that it was time for them to step forward, and so in faith, they committed to adding two to their family.

Michelle is a single mother to her six children. She has four biological children and two that she adopted from the US Foster Care System three years ago. Her oldest daughter, Brittany, and son-in-law have blessed her with a 3 year old granddaughter and a grandson born Feb 2014. She also has a 20 year old son, Chase, who is a Manager at a retail store and will be attending the Police Academy. She has a 19 year old daughter, Chelsea, who is a full time employee and student. She is a college student majoring in Health Services and plans to become an Adoption Social Worker. She has a 17 year old son, Andrew, who has Autism and is a very successful senior at his Private Christian School. He plans to attend College of Central Florida when he graduates and major in Equine Studies (Horse Studies). Michelle adopted a medically needy sibling group from the US Foster Care System. They are biological siblings only one year apart but never lived together until she adopted them. Her son is 6 years old, just started Kindergarten, has Arthrogryposis of his upper and lower limbs and is a double amputee with amazing Iron-Man prosthetics. He is no longer medically needy. Her daughter is 5 years old, has had numerous surgeries on her hip, has lower limb difference, wears leg braces and her cancer is in remission after a year of infusions and treatments. She is also no longer medically needy.
Michelle's parents were Foster Parents for 18 years while she was growing up and she had always known that she would adopt one day. She did adopt and is now adopting again. It is hard to adopt as a single mother from anywhere and even harder to adopt as a single mother who already has Special Needs children at home. She is adopting a beautiful three year old boy from China. He just turned three in August and she will be traveling in early Oct to bring him home.
During this journey Michelle has meet so many other adoptive families through facebook but she has also met over 35 adoptive families in her small town. She started an adoption support group that meets monthly and is a HUGE support to all involved. Several of the families have adopted through the assistance of Reece's Rainbow. These families can not wait to have Michelle's son home in a few weeks so they can greet her at the airport, the kids can play together and grow up as great friends with great stories as to how all of their mom's rallied together to bring them to their forever families. Some of the children that he will be growing up with are Kolya Brook, Bella Brook, Dunham Quinn, Edgar Quinn, Max Wetherington, Ryder Wetherington, Anchor Wetherington, Stori Wetherington, Nikita Sotolongo, Dima Monier, Grace Monier, Kole House, Gabe House, and Levi House. All in ONE town plus MORE!!!
Michelle works as the Children's Minister at her church and has a large heart for children. She helps so many other families with Back to School Supplies, Thanksgiving meals, Christmas meals, Christmas gifts, Easter baskets and so much more all year round.
Once upon a time, there was this hilariously not-so-little family, who kept thinking they were missing somebody. The sisters in the family kept voting for a little girl, to help even out the numbers, and the boys thought a baby sister would be awesome. So the mommy and the daddy prayed, and talked, and waited for God's direction. Then one day, it came! And WOW- it's time to go! There's a little girlie waiting, fearfully and wonderfully made by the Creator, just waiting to be snuggled and kissed and loved to pieces by her well-prepared and experienced soon-to-be family.
They're ready to travel soon, so if you have a few dimes or nickels or a random unused inheritance (haha!) that you'd like to toss in to help them get her home quickly, it would be greatly appreciated! While they're keeping it all rather hush hush right now, you better believe that once that referral is accepted and they can share that she's theirs, you'll be bombarded with pictures!
Thank you all for your prayers, and support!!!!
Joe and Audra May knew that a seed had been planted in their hearts and that adoption was in their future when they left a Steven Curtis Chapman concert in February of 2002. Expecting their first of what was to be 3 biological daughters at that time, they didn't know when that might be. However, they committed to praying and seeking the Lord. 10 years later their bio daughters now 9,6 and 3, God had indeed called them forward to adopt, as they had already started the process in July of 2011. They were seeking to adopt a special needs little girl through China's waiting child program. At the end of February 2012, they had found their daughter, Emmalin. She was living at Maria's Big House of Hope, the same home co-founded by Steven Curtis Chapman and his wife Mary Beth Chapman in honor of their daughter Maria. God had brought the connection to Steven and the seed for adoption had blossomed in their hearts and came full circle.
After traveling to China and visiting not only the orphanage Emmalin spent time in but also Maria's Big House of Hope, as well as experiencing the miracle of adoption, their hearts had been forever changed. Joe and Audra began to pray and seek the Lord's plans for their lives and whether God was calling them to adopt again. They had also learned and were very heartbroken for the thousands of little boys, more than little girls waiting for their forever family in China. February 2014, Audra stumbled upon the picture of a little boy on a waiting child page and she was immediately smitten. She was also surprised to realize that he was the same age and had the same medical condition, a form of Spina Bifida, as their daughter Emmalin. After sharing the little boy's picture with Joe, who wasn't ready to leap yet, they committed to praying. After a few weeks of prayer God revealed to them that the little boy was indeed their son and they were blessed to be able to pursue adopting him. This adoption, as was Emmalin's is a complete leap of faith. Having no adoption funds to begin, God continues to pour out his blessings and open the doors as they pursue Samuel. Joe and Audra know that God can easily call the able to adopt but he often calls the willing and that's what they are, willing to do the Lord's work and to go where he calls them.
The May family is very excited and eager to bring Samuel home. They are eager to have their first little boy in the family and their daughter Emmalin is especially excited. Joe and Audra have been very open with Emmalin concerning her adoption. Through many conversations she already understands and likes to share with others wherever they go, that Samuel is from China and will be adopted just like her!
The May family would covet your prayers for their family and Samuel as they journey to bring him home. They are also blessed and so very thankful for any financial blessing they receive, no amount is too small.

God has richly blessed our family. God allowed me the honor of marrying my "high school" sweet heart. He blessed us with two children who are an amazing gift to my wife and I. We are a close family who loves time together and are thrilled to be in the process of bringing home our son from China! We began our adoption journey with a beautiful little boy we met on Reece's Rainbow by the name of "Ellison". The door to adoption closed when the Russian adoption law changed. Like many families our hearts were broken and we grieved…but God in his wonderful timing led us to this precious little guy who we can not wait to bring home as part of our family. I am a pastor in Alabama and my wife is a social worker. We, along with our children, are grateful that God in His great mercy is allowing us the privileged of adopting Frankie. I can not wait for the day when we are able to bring Frankie home. We love him dearly and he already is being used by God to teach us more about God's great love and mercy.
Please pray for us as we continue in the adoption process. Pray for "Ellison" and the other children of Russia that God would provide loving homes for each child. Pray for Frankie… God has wonderful plans for the wonderful little boy and I am honored to have a front row seat to watch His beautiful work unfold.

Kelly and Bill met at a 4th of July celebration 3 years ago. Mutual friends decided to play matchmaker and succeeded! Bill asked Kelly out for coffee the next day and they spent the night talking about everything! The coffee shop closed and they moved on to McDonald's to finish off the night and the "rest is history!" Kelly was quite the package deal bringing 7 children into the relationship; she knew Bill was "the one" when he jumped right in and became an instant part of the family! They were married on May 04, 2013 and moved into their new house in June. In July Kelly asked him if he was ready to start an adoption. He didn't say no (Lol) so she called and set up a homestudy for the beginning of August. Rowen joined their family from Serbia on January 30, 2014! Rowen has that extra special 47th chromosome and everyone fell instantly in love with him so they quickly decided that Eight Was Not Enough and they are heading to China to bring home Silvie as soon as possible! Any help with fundraising is greatly appreciated since they so recently completed Rowen's adoption.

Penn St. Nittany Lions coach Joe Paterno will not coach another game, according to Jim Gardner of ABC's affiliate on the scene of Wednesday night's board of trustees meeting. Tom Bradley will take over as Penn State's interim coach, according to Gardner.
@Jim_Gardner Assistant coach, Tom Bradley is interim coach.
Bradley is Penn State's defensive coordinator. He grew up in Pennsylvania and played defensive back for Paterno in the mid-'70s, and has been considered a potential successor along the way. He took over for Jerry Sandusky in 1999.
The Nittany Lions have three regular season games left, starting this Saturday at home against Nebraska. Paterno had planned to finish out the season, but forced the board of trustees to make the final decision on his future.
