Vehicle Loan Application
Faster, Easier Car Purchasing
Call for a low monthly payment
Depending on how low you want your payments to be, we can pre-approve your loan with a term of up to 72 months – including up to 100% financing of the purchase price, tax, tags, and warranties.
Protect your investment
We offer several ways to protect you and your vehicle. GAP insurance protects you from financial consequences if your vehicle is stolen or damaged beyond repair. Mechanical Breakdown Protection covers the unwelcome expenses of mechanical breakdown repairs. Add both of these protections for total peace of mind.
Negotiate the best deal
You have the financing you need – now you can focus on getting the best price. You can also take advantage of Enterprise Car Sales opportunities. See the sponsored advertisement at the end of this page, or click here to visit Enterprise.

When your loan is pre-approved, just call to have a check issued, and you can drive home in your new or pre-owned car. It's that fast and easy!
New Vehicle Loans
Take advantage of our low rates and flexible terms, with up to 100% financing of the actual vehicle cost. You can use an Apex New Vehicle Loan to buy a new car, truck, van, sport utility vehicle, motorcycle, or RV.
Check our latest newsletter for special discount loan rates, promotions, and sales!
Managing an Apex Auto Loan is even easier with Payroll Deduction and Direct Deposit.
Pre-Owned Vehicle Loans
If a pre-owned vehicle is the car you have in mind, we can offer great loan values. You can finance up to 100% of the Kelly Blue Book retail value or the actual selling price, whichever is less. Our fixed rates are competitive, and so are our terms. With the money we will save you, you can buy more car!

DrivingSense™ gives you the best of both worlds. Like a lease, DrivingSense™ offers payments considerably lower than conventional financing on your new or used* vehicle. Yet, unlike leasing, with DrivingSense™ you own the vehicle and receive all of the flexibility and benefits of vehicle ownership!

Guaranteed Asset Protection (GAP)
We all know that a brand new vehicle starts depreciating the minute you drive it off the dealer's lot. We also know that if the vehicle is stolen or damaged beyond repair before you finish paying for it, your insurance company will probably pay only the actual cash value.
You can protect your investment with Apex Guaranteed Auto Protection (GAP) coverage. This affordable insurance will bridge the gap between the amount you owe and the amount your insurance will pay. Here are the benefits of GAP:
- • Pays up to 25% due on your loan that exceeds the settlement from your insurance company
- • Pays your auto insurance deductible up to $1,000
- • Covers your financing agreement for the entire life of your loan
- • Delivers all risk protection from total loss or unrecovered theft
- • Generous coverage up to $50,000
- • No separate cash payment is needed – you can add the cost to your auto loan.
Don't risk paying for your dream car after it's gone. Contact Apex to protect your investment with GAP!
Vehicle Service Contract
ARE YOU PREPARED for a mechanical breakdown with your vehicle? Do you have the necessary cash to pay for the rising cost of repairs? If you answered no to either of these questions then a Route 66 Extended Warranty is an intelligent investment to ensure that you are covered if a mechanical breakdown does occur. The price of vehicles is consistently on the rise as well as the costs of repairing them.
A Route 66 Extended Warranty not only protects your investment from expensive mechanical breakdowns, but it also comes with a $0 deductible, 24/7/365 Roadside Service, rental car benefits, 30-day money back guarantees, nationwide coverage, and is fully transferable. The Route 66 Extended Warranty is the most comprehensive coverage for all makes and models of automobiles so that you will be able to enjoy your new purchase and have "peace of mind" because even the most reliable vehicle can develop a mechanical problem at any time.With the Route 66 Extended Warranty's Open Enrollment you don't have to purchase your warranty at the time of purchase, but at any time during the life of the vehicle. Regardless if your vehicle is still under a manufacturer's warranty, Route 66 Extended Warranty has a plan that will fit your vehicle. DON'T GET STUCK WITH OUT COVERAGE!
Apex Auto Advantage
We have everything you need to secure a great deal on a new or pre-owned vehicle: valuable insider car buying facts, loan pre-approval for negotiating power, and extended terms to keep your payments low.

I'm looking for a good quality proxy product. I've got 2 Internet links in 2 sites (connected via WAN) and I want a
product that will act as a proxy for each site but also allow the clients to go from one to the other in the event of
failure. I know that ISA server does this as part of a Proxy array but the enterprise version is something liek £4.5k
a piece!! Way to expensive when I'm not using the firewall side of it!
Talking of which, second question.... how do you rate ISA server as a whole?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Nike SB Dunk Low 'Slate Blue'
April 11th, 2012 by Aaron Hope | 16 comments
In July 2008, Nike SB dropped a Dunk High whose colorway and blocking pattern so strongly resembled an '03 collabo that folks started calling them 'Un-Futura'. This turned out to be one of the earliest examples of a trend we've seen amplified in the last year-plus, whereby Swoosh skateboarding ports over classic colorups, and with Dunks it's usually a palette from one of the other silos. The upcoming release pictured above is a Nike SB Dunk Low just like Futura's noteworthy collaboration, and thanks to the combination of rich blue suede along with black and white elements, it's natural to see them as connected to Nike SB's relatively short yet exceptionally rich history. Check these out up close below and stick with Sneaker News for release info. Photos: Kasina
Nike SB Dunk Low Pro
Slate Blue/White-Tr-Gum Light Brown
I couldn\'t ceurrntly have asked for an even better blog. You\'re always at hand to present excellent advice, going right to the point for convenient understanding of your visitors. You\'re truly a terrific specialist in this arena. Thanks a lot for being there for folks like me.
They look like reverse chromeballs
"Futura 2's", huh? Preferred them when they had the gum soles
not a bad SB, waiting for those supremes to drop tho
these are cool but the gum bottom woulda set these all the way off
See you soon shoes, when you release
Wow they litteraly just had these, the blue was just a bit darker and they had a woodgrain pattern on the sidepanel but pretty much the same damn thing
Why would they get rid of the gum sole from the sample??? These look really clean, but would look 10x better with the gum sole.
YES!!!!! clean so clean these are mine
What happend to the gum sole???!
Decent effort by SB. I must see what the materials look like in person.
o man now this cw i love....
These are a definent go..
every pic has a gum sole.........................look closer..
yeah, I was waiting for these but with GUM SOLE!!

Safe Parks and Playgrounds7-23-14 Sierra Guyton was buried yesterday. If you don't know who she is, you've been living in a bubble for the last two months. She's the 10 year old girl would was hit by a stray bullet on May 21 as she played with her sister on the Clarke Street School playground in Milwaukee. I find the entire incident depressing. How can an innocent life be taken on a playground in Milwaukee? Our city is supposed to be better and safer than some other large cities. I keep wondering if Sierra's parents were ever able to think about living somewhere in the metro area other than in their current zip code. The Journal reported that her Father works at Southgate Mall. This is not far from some nice suburbs - like Greendale. We have many parks and playgrounds in Greendale and they are safe. The reality is this: If Sierra Guyton had lived in Greendale, Greenfield, Hales Corners or some other suburb or even in some other part of Milwaukee, she would be alive today.
Greendale Middle School Vehicle TrafficI don't know if Greendale Middle School drop-off and pick-up traffic in the Village Center is currently an issue. I think it was brought up last year by the Ad Hoc Committee studying the Village Center. For the sake of discussion, let's say that it is an issue. Perhaps there are parents, citizens, school administrators, and Village officials who are concerned about traffic around the Village Center in the morning and afternoon during the school year and some traffic during summer session. I would like to propose one solution. One way to solve the traffic issue would be to take the baseball/softball field in back of the building (west) and turn three quarters of it into a parking lot and roadway. This is a terrible field. The dirt and grass are like concrete. I know because my daughter played softball on that field and I've walked it. A circle road could be built around the new parking lot for cars or buses picking up students. With the space available, a way could be found to separate cars and buses if that were necessary. A quarter of the field could be left for playground and recess activity for the school. Traffic would enter the area from several "E" Section streets and stop/finish times could be coordinated with Canterbury School to avoid conflict with other traffic. If possible, an extension road could be cut from one of the" "E" streets directly to the new circle road. Student drop-off and pick-up would be similar to or better than what currently happens at Highland View and College Park Schools. In summary the proposal is this: - convert the baseball field into a parking lot, - build a circle roadway around the lot, - leave some of the field for a playground, - traffic would enter the area through "E" streets, - extend one of the "E" street roads to the new circle road (optional). This is just one proposal. I am sure there will be others if this is an issue. In the meantime, think about it.
Greendale Primary ElectionsIt is time for a change on the Greendale Village Board of Trustees. In the primary election next week there will be two incumbents and five challengers running for two seats on the Board. It is good to see five challengers. In the recent past, we have seen only one or no challengers. That is not the way to run a democracy. At this point, change would be good for the Board. The two incumbents have given their time and talent to the Board, one for a very long time, and the community appreciates their service. However, it is time for new ideas and a new vision. We can no longer have Trustees who just sit at meetings and vote "yes" or "no" with no questions and no discussion. Nor can we have Trustees who vote "no" to spending money on anything, just so they can say they did. Good services provided to residents cost money. There is no way around that. We can no longer have new ideas and vision come only from the Village President. Yes, the Village President position is important for its leadership role, but it doesn't have to be the only leadership position. Let's thank the incumbents for their service and then vote to put two new people on the Board; to do that you will have to vote for four new people. Please don't forget to vote on February 18 - it's important.
Greendale's Original Fire and Police Station
The Greendale Village Board will soon consider five proposals for the
Greendale Spring Elections
Some time ago I expressed my concern here about incumbents running for local elections with no opposition. It just didn't seem right to me that in a democracy no one except the incumbent would step up and run for election so people could a choice, in other words, a real election. So I was elated to learn that in the up-coming Greendale elections voters will have some choices.

While many around the league were either expressing sheer amazement for a Russell Westbrook dunk in Oklahoma City's 117-89 loss to San Antonio. Others were expressing surprise over the obscene amount of money—$2 billion—that former Microsoft CEO Steve Ballmer has agreed to pay in order to become the new Los Angeles Clippers owner. While all of these things are both entertaining and informative, in the midst of it all was the Scripps National Spelling Bee, a yearly contest to determine the
Bernucca: Have Pacers Lost Belief in Themselves?
Believe it or not, there's someone out there who doesn't think the Indiana Pacers are coming apart at the seams. "Everybody goes through this," Spurs guard Tony Parker said last week after San Antonio manhandled Indiana, 103-77, on the Pacers' home court. "I'm not worried about them. They'll still make it to the Eastern Conference finals and they'll still play Miami." Parker is somewhat right. From time to time, every championship contender has a stretch during a season where they look ordinary.
Tweet of the Day: Harvard Upsets Many Brackets; NBA Players Discuss
The NCAA College Basketball Tournament is underway. Millions of people had hopes of raking in the cash with Yahoo! and Quicken Loans offering a $1 Billion reward for a perfect bracket. However, most of their hopes have been dashed, thanks in large part to two unlikely upsets. Los Angeles Lakers guard Kent Bazemore is all about it, having played for a mid-major school that made a Cinderella run of its own, stringing along unlikely upsets with Old Dominion from the Colonial Athletic
Buyout Bonanzas: Granger, Gordon, Fredette Could Help Playoff Teams
Does anyone want Danny Granger? How about Jimmer Fredette? This is the last week for contenders to shore up their playoff rosters with NBA players for a run they hope will last into June. Teams have until March 1 to sign players eligible for the playoffs. The Los Angeles Clippers already made a big splash on that front by signing Glen "Big Baby" Davis, who had the final two years of his contract bought out by Orlando. It's a good fit. The Clippers desperately
Bernucca: Feeling the Heat, Pacers Had To Make a Move
All season, the Indiana Pacers have maintained that homecourt advantage for the Eastern Conference playoffs, and their chemistry will give them a great chance to dethrone the two-time NBA champion Miami Heat. Are both slipping away? In the last two weeks, Indiana's grip on the East's best record has loosened considerably. And the Pacers' big move at Thursday's trading deadline, acquiring Evan Turner, illustrated that their belief in chemistry may have been overstated.
Bernucca: After slow start, the tank is rolling in Philly
Remember back in October, when the handicappers in Vegas said the Philadelphia 76ers would win about 16 or 17 games? And remember in November, when the 76ers started their season with three straight wins, beating the Miami Heat, Washington Wizards and Chicago Bulls with Derrick Rose? How are those 17 wins looking now? Without the Hubble telescope, the Sixers can't see them. The small sample size of the season's first week – three surprising wins, a rookie as Player of the Week – is
Tweet of the Night: NBA Players Are Getting Into The Halloween Spirit
Whether by mere coincidence or divine providence, the start of the NBA season and Halloween coincide, with tip-off just two days before trick-or-treaters terrorize neighborhoods across the US. That being said, whether for a party, at a party or in preparation for spooky festivities, many NBA athletes took to social media to display costumes—of others or their own.
Five Things To Watch: Philadelphia 76ers
A year ago at this time, the Philadelphia 76ers were filled with optimism. Coming off a postseason run that left them four minutes short of the Eastern Conference finals, front office personnel were still slapping each other's backs about the way they had not only landed big man Andrew Bynum, but at the same time unloaded Andre Iguodala and Nikola Vucevic. With Bynum in the paint, an array of 3-point shooters on the wings and emerging guards Jrue Holiday and Evan Turner

Did any one else get an email from CH on too much board banter?
- Beach Chick Nov 13, 2013 04:57 AM
Got a survey from one of our beloved Mods for the SD board on personal chit chat...guess, they feel the SD board has some added banter when discussing food, drink and restaurants..
I feel we've done a good job overall in weaving food and drink into the mix..
Personally, I don't feel we are different than any other board and each board has their own style, with their cast of characters..most of us been posting since 2008 and have become one big happy family.
Sad, if you want to change us.
The "official" position of the mods, as stated on this board numerous times, is that they have relaxed the previous clampdown on off topic chit chat throughout the site. I wonder if the purpose of the survey is to re-examine that decision. I certainly hope so!
Since I have posted (mostly annoyingly) a few times, I was also sent the survey. I participated, saying that the chat mentioned didn't bother me at all, and made the board a friendly lively place. I also had to mention how much I missed James Norton and the Supertaster feature.
I don't know how you would manage to eradicate naturally evolving chit chat as is going on now on the Texas board in regards to the best place to live -foodwise-in Texas, since all the other factors are coming up. It would be like whack-a-mole for the poor moderators. Wait, it that chit-chat?
re: ipsedixit
No tengo idea lo que dices arriba....:)
Jacq added some Mod insight/bullet points throughout this thread that seems to cross over into your question Beach C.
I didn't rec' an email but I'm kinda glad to hear that the Mods were asking for feedback from CH's. At least that says they have an interest in including member opinions...which many of us have asked for in the past.
Like many who have spoken up, I don't know if defining banter/chit chat is ever going to work site wide because some is allowed and some isn't; because sometimes Mods let all of us swim in non food topics or topics that barely include food as the main point and other times they don't. It would appear the biggest culprit is the tone of those non foodish discussions. And, given the number of threads populating on every board the cleanup has to be enormous...too large for a small staff/volunteer group.
Dang, I didn't get a survey! With the unfollow option now available, I sometimes resort to that when the chit-chat just becomes more than the on-topic contributions. A little is fine but it would be nice if it were always as part of a reply that actually has something to do with the topic.
The questionnaire was only for the San Diego Board and if I recall, the intro sentence was about 'complaints'.
My main concern with the 'chit chat' is that when answering someone who is planning on a visit/attend a convention in San Diego, the answers go off on mentioning "Berlin" and "Montebello" as well as other subjects/posts which are irrelevant and probably confusing to the new to San Diego questioners.
re: Cathy
Oh, okay, then I won't get my feelings hurt. But I wish everyone got it and not just for regional boards. I rarely visit those because my "region(s)" are just too huge. I think it's a huge issue on the other boards as well. Leave NAF alone and let people play there if they feel the need.
re: Cathy
Yes, just to clarify, we've gotten a fair bit of feedback recently about chat on the San Diego board specifically, so we sent out the survey to the 50 most frequent posters of the last 3 months to get a broader perspective on the issue than we get from people who take the time to reach out to us -- generally only people with relatively strong opinions reach out, so we weren't sure if they represented popular sentiment or a vocal minority.
We decided to go with a survey rather than a discussion on Site Talk because we wanted people to feel comfortable sharing their opinions without worrying about hurting or angering other members of the site.
re: Jacquilynne
Thanks for clarifying your objectives and approach. Just submitted a response.
re: Jacquilynne
I'd suggest that asking the most frequent chatters about chatting might give you a different result than if you asked the broader readership or potential readership. I'd suggest sending surveys to people who only posted once or twice and never came back and people who are active on other boards but infrequent in the board you're inquiring about (but who live there).
re: Jacquilynne
Thanks Jacq!
I don't see any difference from the SD board banter to any of the other board banters.
When you live in one of the prettiest places on planet earth and a highly regarded tourist area, your going to get more inane, repetitive questions, that after awhile, we become a little snarky...and for that, I apologize.
re: Beach Chick
I had the impression from reading this that it's about chat and not snark. The SF board gets those visitors asking the same questions over and over and occasionally they get a bit annoyed at the lack of research. But as a regular visitor to the city and the board, I really don't find it especially chatty. I see where they have regular Chowdowns but they seem to leave that on the reports or off CH entirely. Just my opinion.
re: c oliver
'But as a regular visitor to the city and the board, I really don't find it especially chatty.'
Are you referring to SD?
BTW, love love love your avatar!
I don't see the regulars SD posters reporting to Chow mods.
We love tourists and want to help them out for the best experience of food and drink!
re: Beach Chick
Sorry. No. I was referring to SF. I didn't make that clear. I don't find the SF board to be particularly chatty.
re: c oliver
I don't find the SF board to be chatty either but when you've been a close knit group through the years, you have more inside jokes that a tourist wouldn't necessarily get..
I believe one of the main problems could be is that some posters have enabled the 'Chowhound Notifications' to their posts and they are getting an email every time one of us locals are bantering back and forth without specific restaurants, that could be frustrating to them.
re: Beach Chick
I just took a look at the SD board and see it's not terribly active so maybe the chattiness stands out more there than in SF which is such a huge geographic area and is so active. I'm betting Manhattan is like that though I haven't frequented that board in quite a while.
re: Beach Chick
I think you're right.
So maybe people who are annoyed by getting emails with every post could try this:
Create an email filter to transfer any email that has the text "Chowhound <no" in the "From" field, to a special mailbox.
I do this myself. I have a special mailbox called "Chowhound", and all of the email notices from CH end up there. I can choose to read or not read (although I end up reading almost all) emails that go into that mailbox.
Maybe the general CH website could suggest doing something like this to help mitigate the annoyance factor for those who are unhappy with the banter and chit-chat.
Ah, I see, you must be the Chosen One.
I'm like the little kid that they took in to get that extra tax write off.
Uggggghhhhhh like hearing your name over the intercom in school;
"Jrvedivici come to the office" I guess I'll have to check my email now.
After reading some more of this thread if it's just the SD board that is having this problem, would you like me to start posting on that board to really give them something to complain about?
re: jrvedivici
Thanks for bringing the problem into sharper focus.
re: carolinadawg
I do what I can. Sorry to disappoint you though, when I got to the principles office it was because I forgot my sneakers for gym, no message from the mods.
I got it but didn't respond -- thought it might be a scam. Guess not. Will respond now that I've seen this thread.
Mama told me never to click on links in an unexpected email unless I'm sure about it.
P.S. I like the banter. I haven't been posting since 2008 like some (although I've been following since 2010 or so), so I don't pick up on some of the inside stuff. But that's ok. I like the style of the board -- just the way it is.
That way BC can clobber me and send me to Candy Mountain if I get out of hand.
re: DoctorChow
You friggin' remember being banished to Candy Mountain?
I live in Washington, DC and we get a lot of tourists. I don't really want the board to become a hotel advice board, as it could quickly become.
So if the chit chat naturally derives from and remains associated with food, that's great. But I could easily see thread after thread becoming devoted to other subjects as well, and I would like it to stay food-centric.
re: DoctorChow
It's just not a very active board. Two to six posts a day seems about it.
Just a quick note, I posted the results from this survey here: http://chowhound.chow.com/topics/925664

School bans boy from using My Little Pony bag because it's a "trigger for bullying"
By Katie Halper | Published: March 18, 2014
TweetThis story is totally enraging. It's almost funny but it's heart-breaking. It's the story about a school which overtly sanctions bullying and punishes the student who gets bullied; a school which condones violence but prohibits the use of a My Little Pony bag. It's a story of official and institutionalized victim-blaming, gender-policing, cowardice and cruelty. [...]

Video: Cheer for the Homeless team
By: Thomas Lenler Olesen
Today, the plane takes off for Mexico City. On board are the players from the Danish national football team. They are on their way to the World Cup finals for homeless and marginalised people, which begin on Sunday.
As the team's official sponsor we root for the team from the sidelines, of course, but homeless football serves a much higher purpose than the number of wins and losses on the field.
From marginalised to selected
And a world cup experience must be the ultimate chance in the transformation from marginalised to selected.
Follow the world cup via the Ombolds Facebook profile and their webpage
Meet the players in this video, that our volunteers from the web-TV team filmed last week. (in Danish with English subtitles)

Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez split
Zac Efron and Michelle Rodriguez's low-key romance is over – before either star confirmed they were dating, according to reports.
The actors sparked rumors of a new relationship when they were photographed kissing while on holiday in Italy in July, and again when the "High School Musical" star jetted from Los Angeles to meet Rodriguez in Ibiza, Spain, earlier this month.
However, it seems the fling has since fizzled out, and a source tells Us Weekly that the break-up was mutual.
Prior to dating the "Fast & Furious" beauty, Efron dated Vanessa Hudgens for three years until 2010, while Rodriguez was recently linked to model Cara Delevingne.
Michelle Rodriguez eyeing career move into music
Actress Michelle Rodriguez is planning a pop career after her DJing skills gave her a thirst for making music.
The "Fast & Furious" star began DJing at clubs and movie premiere parties around the world in 2009, and she took control of the booth earlier this month at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's 2014 An Evening with Women event.
Now Rodriguez is eager to show her creative side and work on music of her own, telling Britain's Daily Telegraph newspaper, "I definitely want to make my own music. That would be really nice but it's all about working with the right producers."
Michelle Rodriguez hopes to inspire with bisexuality revelation
"Fast & Furious" star Michelle Rodriguez is hoping her recent confession about her interest in both men and women will help those who are having a difficult time dealing with their sexuality.
The usually private actress revealed last October that she has been in relationships with both men and women after years of speculation about her sexuality.
On Saturday, Rodriguez served as a DJ for the afterparty at the L.A. Gay & Lesbian Center's annual An Evening With Women event, and told Gay Star News she decided to come clean to inspire others to follow suit.
Rodriguez said, "I'm not big on people's opinions, you know? Unless it's somebody I really respect. I don't care what people out there have to say. But I do realize the importance of having the bravery to live as who you are and I feel like a lot of people don't have that bravery.
"Maybe by me opening my big fat mouth like I usually do and stepping up and owning who I am, maybe it might inspire somebody else to do the same."
Rodriguez reportedly briefly dated supermodel Cara Delevingne earlier this year.

Actress Michelle Rodriguez has been photographed kissing her rumored girlfriend Cara Delevingne while on vacation.
In pictures published in Britain's Sun newspaper, the pair can be seen kissing in the sea, cuddling up on sun loungers and hugging while the British model is topless on the beach during the holiday in Cancun, Mexico.
The public display of affection appears to confirm reports suggesting Rodriguez is in a relationship with the model, who she has been spending a lot of time with since the start of this year.
There are photos of them at a Knicks game above.

Michelle Rodriguez responds to gay rumors
Actress Michelle Rodriguez has opened up about her sexuality, revealing she goes "both ways."
The "Fast & the Furious" star has kept her love life a secret over the years, but now she has decided to answer questions about her preferences.
She tells Entertainment Weekly magazine, "I don't talk about what I do with my vagina, and they're (the media) all intrigued. I've never walked the carpet with anyone, so they wonder, 'What does she do with her vagina?' Plus, I play a butchy girl all the time, so they assume I'm a lesbo."
"They're not too far off. I've gone both ways. I do as I please. I am too f— curious to sit here and not try when I can. Men are intriguing. So are chicks."
After reports suggesting Rodriguez was a lesbian came out in 2009, she lashed out saying, "If I wanted to tell people what I do with my vagina, I'd have made a sex video a long time ago.
"Largely, people don't know the whole story about anything. But still they need to put a name on it so they can label it and put it on the side and not dedicate any time to figuring it out. It's laziness."
Michelle Rodriguez keen to get sexy
Tough girl actress Michelle Rodriguez is ready to bare all onscreen if a good steamy role comes along – after playing it safe for a decade.
The "Avatar" star has started looking at sexier parts after her best pal joked about what a "prude" she is in front of the camera.
She explains on the "George Lopez Show," "She was making fun of me… I was focused on being kind of like, an example for Latinas; I didn't want them to be thinking that sexy is the only way to be powerful.
"But, y'know man, I'm gonna wrinkle up and lose it one day, and she reminded me of it, so I was like, 'I might as well put it to some use and go do the sexy thing for a while. Why not?'"
The star admits she wouldn't do porn or anything too extreme, but she's "open to some romantic comedy stuff."
But she won't be giving up the action roles anytime soon: "It's so much fun; I love me some destruction."
Michelle Rodriguez happy to be Hollywood bad girl
Michelle Rodriguez has no qualms about carving out a career as Hollywood's bad girl, insisting she would rather be typecast as "too hardcore" than play a sex object.
The actress made her debut playing a female boxer in 2000 drama "Girlfight" and has since made a name for herself portraying headstrong women in the "Fast and the Furious" franchise, "Machete" and "Avatar."
But Rodriguez insists she'd sooner take on repetitive roles than be cast solely for her sex appeal.
She tells Britain's Total Film, "My entire career is made up of those girl-power moments. I don't mind typecasting because I know what the alternative is. I'm trying to create roles that are the perfect balance between man and woman."
"I'm not looking at what everyone else is doing. There's tons of sex and hot girls – I could do that, but it's done. Stick a fork in it!"
Michelle Rodriguez tired of lesbian rumors
Actress Michelle Rodriguez has vowed never to discuss speculation over her sexuality, insisting she would have "made a sex video" if she wanted the public to know about her private life.
The "Fast & Furious" star has long fought off rumors she is a lesbian, and although she admits her love life is complicated, she won't be revealing the details any time soon.
In an interview with Style magazine, she says, "If I wanted to tell people what I do with my vagina, I'd have made a sex video a long time ago. Largely, people don't know the whole story about anything.
"But still they need to put a name on it so they can label it and put it on the side and not dedicate any time to figuring it out. It's laziness."

Network Growth in 2012
2012 was another expansive year for the Burning Man Regional Network with over 30 new Regional Contacts joining our ranks from locations across the world including Singapore, Spain, and South Africa. Interest from international groups continues to grow as Burners from Russia, Austria, the Yucatan, Brazil, Columbia, Chile, South Korea, Israel, Malaysia, and Vietnam have reached out to us to express their interest in representing Burning Man in their home countries.
In response to the growing interest in Burning Man culture across the world, we continued in 2012 to nurture and develop our Meta-Regional Committee, a leadership team comprised of 13 exemplary Regional leaders from across the Network. We also expanded our Regionals Support Team to include a new Volunteer Coordinator and two new Ambassadors---one in the Czech Republic and one in Dubai. These new Ambassadors, our Volunteer Coordinator, and our Meta Regionals Committee members have been helping us respond to inquiries from around the world and conduct interviews with potential Regional Contacts. Our addition of these new teammates and our increased engagement with our Meta-Regional Committee are part of our concerted effort to decentralize our intake process of new Regional Contacts and to provide a broader base of support and mentorship for Burner groups worldwide.
As our Network of Regional Contacts continues to grow by leaps and bounds, so too does our Burner social calendar! In 2012, we saw a great increase in official regional events and fundraisers, with Burning Man Decompressions springing up in new places like Shanghai, Japan, Melbourne, Sacramento and Oahu. Week and weekend-long regional campouts continue to thrive across the United States and Canada, South Africa, and in many countries in Europe. And, with such a continuing increase in interest from South America, the Middle East, and Asia, we know we'll see a wealth of exciting art projects, events and CORE effigies crop up in communities across the world!
Meta-Regional Committee
Since its formation in 2010, our Meta-Regional Committee has been increasingly involved in helping to shape the development of the Burning Man Project and the Regionals Network. Through monthly phone meetings, in -person sessions, and a Retreat in early 2013, the Meta Team has worked together to advise Burning Man on best practices for the Regional Network, to work with the Burning Man Project on plans for sustainable collaborations between the organization and the larger network of related groups, and to provide mentorship and conflict resolution support for Regional groups.
The founding Purpose of the Meta Committee is as follows:
- Serve as a source of support and development for the entire Burning Man Regional Network.
- Uphold and review individual issues/complaints regarding Regional Contacts and activities.
- Make recommendations for the Regional Contact Intake Process.
- Contribute to the mentorship of new Regional Contacts.
- Inspire leadership within the greater Burning Man community.
- Provide feedback to HQ on Regional Network needs and representation.
- Manage the voting process for Meta-Regional Committee seats.
Looking ahead to 2013 and beyond, the Meta Team is focused primarily on inspiring leadership, helping to build and develop Burning Man Culture in the world, making themselves available to Regional Contacts and Regional groups in need of advice and guidance, and creating a succession plan to ensure that the Meta-Regional Committee thrives for years to come.
2012 Circle of Regional EffigiesThe 2012 Circle of Regional Effigies (CORE) was made up of 34 wooden effigies created by Burning Man Regional groups from around the world and placed around the Man in Black Rock City. Guided by the Ten Principles, CORE teams worked together throughout the Spring and Summer to create art pieces that celebrated their Regional identities and showcased the collaborative artistic efforts of their community members. Participating groups included Denmark/Sweden, Lithuania/Czech, South Africa, the UK, Nebraska, Maine, Portland, Utah, Los Angeles, Idaho and the North and South Bay of San Francisco.
The CORE Project has served for the past two years as a strong galvanizing force within the Regional Network. We've seen wonderful collaborations between groups who've decided to pool resources, expertise and manpower to see their projects through to completion. We've also seen groups gain momentum and notoriety on a local level through the experience of working together, fundraising, and learning how to tell the story of their projects and their journey to Black Rock City.The Regionals Team hosted the first ever CORE Art Walk on Tuesday of the event from 2-5pm. Effigy teams were on hand to greet participants, answer questions about their projects, serve up tasty snacks, and showcase their local performers.
The CORE Project culminated in a coordinated burn event on Thursday night, which was a fitting celebration of our culture's fertile evolution far beyond the bounds of Black Rock City.
We are excited to work with the Art Team on our third year of CORE in 2013 with an estimated 24 groups participating in the circle!
Annual Regional Leadership SummitIn 2012, we welcomed over 180 Regional Contacts and invited Burning Man community leaders to San Francisco for the 6th Annual Regional Network Leadership Summit for a weekend of training, collaboration, and shared practice. The official schedule included workshops on Volunteerism, C.O.R.E. project development, public relations, social networking, fundraising, transformative leadership, civic engagement, meeting facilitation, event production, conflict resolution, and more.
Founding Board Member Marian Goodell delivered an inspiring keynote address about the future of Burning Man and the Regional Network's role in bringing the ethos of Burning Man out into the world. Matt Crompton aka Snowstorm from the UK gave a multimedia overview of the development of regional communities in Europe and Utah's Element 11 Board of Directors led a conversation about Board structure and the interesting dynamics that come into play for them as they nurture a community of Burners against the backdrop of conservative Mormonism.The Summit would not have been possible without our dedicated Bay Area Burning Man Staff and volunteers, who ensured that our visiting Summit attendees felt welcomed and engaged. Local Burners opened up their homes to our visitors, Staff members contributed valuable content, and our volunteers helped with production of the weekend from start to finish.
In April 2013, we will host our annual Global Leadership Conference in Oakland, CA and welcome over 200 visitors from across the world.
On Playa
At Burning Man 2012, the Regional Network joined forces with Burners Without Borders, Black Rock Arts Foundation, Black Rock Solar and the Burning Man Project at "Everywhere". Located on the Esplanade near Center Camp, District Everywhere is a place where participants can learn about Burning Man's affiliated outreach groups and find ways to connect with Burners in their hometowns. Throughout the week, we hosted many networking events at "Everywhere", including the annual Regional Network Mixer.This year, "Everywhere" cropped up in new places. Post-playa, our Georgia Regional Contacts reached out to us about creating a mini "Everywhere" at their local Fall event, Alchemy. They printed up information posters from "Everywhere" about the outreach groups to display prominently for passersby. Regional Contacts from Kentucky, Ohio, Chicago, and Georgia pitched in to help answer questions and to educate Alchemy participants on the good work that Burners are doing out in the world.
Following suit, our local Bay Area "Everywhere" team came together to create an "Everywhere" presence at San Francisco Decompression. We educated the community on volunteer opportunities and various projects and served up some lovely tea under a welcoming shade structure. A good time was had by all.
Film Fest in a Box
The Film Fest in a Box (FFIAB) program is a film festival created for Regional Contacts to bring local Burners together and share the experience of Burning Man on the big screen. Burning Man hand -selects and pre-licenses the films that appear in the festival, so that local groups can use them as a pre-packaged, plug-and-play body of work – just add a theater!
Regional groups from Germany to Lithuania to San Diego held these Burning Man Film Festivals as part of the FFIAB program. Many groups have chosen to combine the film festival with other activities such as fire spinning, clothing drives, art shows, workshops, or clothing swaps. We are inspired to see Regional groups utilizing the FFIAB as a way to fundraise for their local community, to gather people together, and to showcase the work of Burning Man filmmakers that might otherwise never be seen in the theater.
There are now more than 210 Regional Contacts in the Burning Man Regional Network, serving communities that span 23 countries and five continents. We look forward to continuing to nurture year-round community and participation in 2013 by connecting Regional Contacts and community leaders with the resources, tools, and expertise they need as well as do our most important work - connecting Regional groups with one another. For more information on the Regional Network and to connect with your local Regional group, visit regionals.burningman.com.

- OpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/23/2014Went for midweek lunch. Service was great. Food (salad) was good. Requested bread and was brought very hard toast. Toast was to hard. The entire salad menu could use a sourdough bread addition. Mentioned this to waitstaff. All in all a nice experience. Of course the 21c hotel is priceless.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- OpenTable Diner Since 2008VIPDined on 10/22/2014I am very disappointed that I did not get any open table dining points for this reservation and dining experience. WE spent over $300 and I should have gotten open table dining points.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- downtownfoodieDined on 10/19/2014I've been to the Metropole a few times & am very impressed with the menu & food. I love the decor too. My only complaint the last time is that the service was a little slow, considering it was a Sunday evening, no crowd & we weren't drinking. Our waitress was delightful--just hard to find sometimes.Special Features:
- Exceptional!ShellDined on 10/18/2014Was our second visit to Metropole and were not disappointed. Went for my bday and took another couple with us that had never been there. We all got different dishes and shared. The two dishes that clearly stood out were the Burnt Carrot Salad (like a party in your mouth) and the Seared Octopus which was divine. All in all, the service, ambiance, and food were outstanding and will definitely be back. Thank you for a memorable birthday dinner.Special Features:
- Metropole = A+ ExperienceAndyJackDined on 10/17/2014The food matches the service - both were excellent! Thank you for the great experience.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- FabulousccurranVIPDined on 10/17/2014We had a wonderful time with friends, great cocktails, food, wine, dessert and more cocktails !Special Features:
- Underwhelmed at MetropoleOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 10/13/2014Very indifferent, sporadic, disjointed service that didn't at all match the pretentious cuisine and ambiance.Special Features:
- 4th time, not a charmsfroDined on 10/12/2014While the atmosphere was pleasant as always, this brunch at metropole (my 4th) was not as impressive as the first 3. The bloody Marys were worse than those you make yourself on an airplane. No garnish. The polenta/grits was watery. The bagel with lox was completely deconstructed. And absolutely everything lacked seasoning. And the cappuccinos were lattes. I'm left wondering: what happened here? It was good before...
- Very EnjoyableGMCCDined on 10/10/2014Great service / Our first visit and will return as it was a very enjoyable evening.Special Features:
- FoodieDined on 10/9/2014wonderful experience=staff was friendly and attentive- food was delicious and serves very properly More choices for entrees would have been appreciatedSpecial Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Maybe too much hype?PerfectDined on 10/9/2014Food was just ok. Ok flavor profiles. Ok combinations. A lot of our food seemed overcooked or just slightly incorrectly prepared. Expected more. Excellent service though and very friendly staff.
- Lunch at MetropoleAnnesvilleDined on 10/9/2014The folks at Metropole are used to serving a lunch crowd--getting you in and out quickly--but they certainly welcome long lunches and a sobremesa (the leisurely time after a meal). The dining room is beautiful and the kitchen features an open hearth. We shared the pretzel with grain mustard, burnt carrots (served cold to room temperature), and a cheeseburger "basted" with sharp cheddar, bacon, and frisee. I highly recommend each of these dishes and would have liked to eat everything on the menu if only humanly possible. Be prepared to sit up nice and tall if you are sitting on the banquette as the table may feel a bit high. Eat at Metropole!Special Features:
- metropole dinermetropoleguestDined on 10/3/2014My wife and I both had the cheeseburger on the menu, it was delicious. But very small menu to pick from.Special Features:
- My husband and I were celebratingOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/30/2014our 25th wedding anniversary, which I put on the reservation and called and told the reservationist at the resturant. The resturant was only half full, it was a tuesday night at 6pm before the Aronoff show. We were seated between two other tables of couples while 4 other tables of 2 tops remained empty during our meal. I was actually seated closer to the women next to me than my husband across the table from me. There was no acknowledgement of our anniversary. The food was excellent and the service also. The hotel needs to sit their customers more appropriately and space them to allow conversation amoungst themselves according to how many reservations they have.
- Delicious and FunmattkiDined on 9/26/2014Metropole is a very fun place to visit and eat. The food was outstanding and the service was also very good. The valet parking was especially nice since it was a bit of a busy night.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Impress out-of-town hipstersandrewcashmereDined on 9/26/2014Our friends from Brooklyn were in town to visit. One of them writes for a food blog, so we wanted to take them someplace impressive. Polly Campbell from the Cincinnati Enquirer recommended (via Twitter) we take them to Metropole. Great choice. They both had lots of questions about the menu and our service answered all of them to their satisfaction. Everyone loved their meal. We shared Cauliflower Beignets, which were great, but we all wished we had something to dip them in. I had the Potato Gnocchi, which was awesome. Overall great meal. Our Brooklyn hipster friends were impressed.Special Features:
- Outstanding!EdgarDined on 9/26/2014Our third or fourth time at Metropole, outstanding in every way! We come here about twice a year, worth the hour and a quarter drive, staying overnight at the 21C, and sightseeing in Cincy the next day before returning home. We're NOT going to break THIS habit!Special Features:
- Fabulous!DineOutDined on 9/26/2014We had a fabulous time at Metropole! It was romantic and delicious! The server was very friendly and made sure we got to the theater on time. It was a great experience!Special Features:
- Didn't disappoint!HargirlDined on 9/25/2014Returned to the Metropole for another lovely meal. This was before the theater and we informed the server of that situation and he attended to us accordingly. The menu is quite varied, but, their are a limited number of entrees and all items are ala carte.. We just had burgers on this visit and they were done as requested and the handcut fries were delicious. I wouldn't consider this an everyday dining location but it is worth the visit.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Always a good mealtylerrwohDined on 9/24/2014Eaten here a number of times when I've been back in town. It's always a treat, especially good for client dinners. Love the decor, drink selection, and especially the food. Have yet to have less than a great meal here. Try the burnt carrot salad, you will never look at carrots the same.Special Features:
- Such a gem!FoodieFanDined on 9/24/2014First visit to Metropol and assuredly not my last! The food was beautifully presented and made with the freshest ingredients. The chicken was the most tender, moist chicken I've ever had, bar none. Every thing was flavorful with masterful seasoning. The service was perfect: attentive, professional, yet friendly. Server was very knowledgeable about the dishes and asked if we would be attending the Aronoff before we even thought to mention it so we were remeasured that he was aware of our timeline.Special Features:
- special in CincinnatibermudaschwartzDined on 9/22/2014I like to take out of town guests here/a beautifully renovated space, stimulating art and quite good food.Special Features:
- The Fork & Bottle series is amazingmmascolinoVIPDined on 9/20/2014Where else can you get 4 courses paired with 4 drinks for $55. Not only is it great food, lots of attention to detail was put into the creation of each course which makes it not only delicious but also special.Special Features:
- Birthday DinnerMullsVIPDined on 9/20/2014Food and service were outstanding but seating arrangement was totally unacceptable. There were two of us and there was only 6 inched between the tables on each side of us, also with two people. I would expect seating like this if I was going to a crab shack in Florida or the Carolinas' where they seat everyone on what is basically a 20 foot long picnic table but not a 4 or 5 star restaurant. I took my wife there for her birthday and the people next to us were on their anniversary. None of us were happy and would not go there with a party of 2 again. They actually had to pull the table out so that anyone sitting against the wall could get to their seat. Would return only if we had a party of 4 or more because those tables were not as cSpecial Features:
- Limited MenufoodieDined on 9/20/2014The menu is quite small with only 5 entree's. You would then expect everything to knock you socks off, but the preparations were just average. Great atmosphere though noisy. Fabulous service.Special Features:
- Excellent Breakfast!!aJeepThingDined on 9/20/2014My wife and I were staying downtown for a wedding and enjoying Oktoberfest. I've always lamented that there's not a lot of breakfast options downtown on the weekends when we found this listing. What a pleasant surprise! The food was wonderful and I was even able to enjoy some hometown Goetta. The service was very professional and welcoming with the waiter even asking my brewing preference for my coffee. ... which was one of the best cups of coffee I've had in a long time. The aroma left from dinners cooked over their hearth was wonderful and my wife an I are hoping to go back on our next visit and enjoy the evening fare. If breakfast was this good, I can only imagine how good dinner will be!Special Features:
- Pricey, But AverageScottDined on 9/19/2014The ambience is unusual -interesting art everywhere and in a great location. We were bombarded with paper menus (five for each of us - food, special pairings, wine, cocktails, and special bourbons). The food was delicious, but far over priced. ($100+ for two people, with no drinks). Would have been okay for a special occasion, but we were also interrupted by the staff over two dozen times because they were so unsure of their food prep. The waiter would ask if each course tasted okay, the server would repeatedly ask if we needed anything, and the chef came out twice to ask if the preparation was okay. It was a lot of trepidation from a restaurant that was bold enough to charge 8$ for 4oz of fried cauliflower.Special Features:
- Best of BestOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 9/19/2014This is one of the best, perhaps the best, dining experiences that we have shared in Cincinnati in recent times. The food and drink were eloquently and creatively prepared and presented, and the ambiance unique in our city. Bravo to the chef, bartender, and server.Special Features:
- TradVIPDined on 9/18/2014The food here is always very good, the service not so much. Tonight in a very full restaurant before a show at the Aronoff there was only one server and a bunch of God runners. Took 15 minutes after being seated to have our order taken for either drinks or food.Special Features:
- Always one of the best!LauraVIPDined on 9/15/2014Metropole at 21c always has some of the best food in Cincinnati, the service is professional and polite.Special Features:
- Culinary Delightluv2eatDined on 9/12/2014From beginning to end, this was a delightful culinary experience. My wife and I are picky when it comes to truly fine cuisine (all that glitters aint gold). From the bread all the way to the blackberry shortcake with lime juniper ice cream, each course was a home run. Why I chose the basted cheeseburger I have no idea (quirky mood I guess plus the apple butter), but it was without doubt the best I have ever had and I did not eat the fries. We shared the charred yellow squash appetizer which unique and made you want more. My wife had the swordfish (her favorite fish selection) and it was the tastiest she ever had. This was the second time we had been to the Metropole and this visit exceeded the first significantly in overall satisfactionSpecial Features:
- Total EntertainmentManAboutTownVIPDined on 9/5/2014The artwork grabs you as you enter. You are in a gallery. But then we arrived early so we could enjoy this art and then pop up to the roof bar for the view. Great on a clear day. Then back dow for a scrumptious meal. Best gnocchi we ever tasted and the Drum and Octopus was a treat. Drink prices are steep though. $20 for call bourbon is a bit much.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Excellent!SWRWDined on 9/1/2014I enjoyed a lovely evening dining with my husband and friends at Metropole at 21c. The service was stellar, as was the food. A wonderful experience. We will certainly return on our next trip to Cincinnati.Special Features:
- Lots of funlookingforgoodeatsDined on 9/1/2014We went to Metropole for an adult birthday dinner and had a great time. The food was very good and the service was attentive without being overbearing. The art work is eclectic and worth taking some time to look at. Don't miss playing with the interactive floor on the way to the restrooms! We shared an appetizer of goat cheese, country pate and hard salami. It was all very tasty, but the portions were small for a table of five. Fortunately, my son ordered beef tartare (which he said was very good) as well, so everyone was satisfied. I'm told the gnocchi was delicious, my boyfriend loved the burger and my veal chop was huge, moist and tender as butter - delish! Reasonably priced, I think - about $40 per person before tip. I will go back.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great foodYodmanDined on 8/30/2014Awesome food again. The burnt carrot salad is the wife's favorite. Jeremy knew all of the dishes and recommended a cocktail that was delicious.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Very Good but not outstandingajewelDined on 8/30/2014the corn soup and the bread were outstanding; the burnt carots and kale salid were good. The amberjack was forgetable as were the peppers, but the summer squash was very good. A remarkable wine list, our Merry Edwards sauvignon blanc was excellent, worth the $90 price. Can't remember dessert, which tells you something. All in all, I'm glad we went, but I don't think we'll go back. Also very noisy.Special Features:

- Very bad experienceOpenTable Diner Since 2014Dined on 8/27/2014A special anniversary celebration was ruined due to inability to accommodate special food preparation requests and long delay between salad and entrée. We were unable to order what we wanted from a very limited menu and ended up having to choose from just two selections, neither of which we wanted. The food that we were served was just fair, and neither of us finished much of our meals. The noise level was extremely high. We couldn't wait to get out of the place.

New York Magazine's delicious food blog Grubster and author Matthew Latkiewicz have figured out the "Do's" and "Don'ts" of drinking at your office holiday party. For example: "Do have a glass of wine!" and "Don't wake up in a different state."
They've even put together this handy little guide which you should definitely print and laminate and have on you at all times. It's their handy guide to How Drunk You Can Get at Your Office Christmas Party:
No appletini icons on this list have rendered it nearly useless to me.
Now for any of you confused by the above list, the post itself dives into further explanations of what makes a company "cool" and "uncool," and also accounts for any exception, such as whether or not there will be food at this party, and also just how badly you want to keep or lose your job.
Luckily, because I'm just over 6 feet tall, I can drink as much as I want and never, ever get drunk. See? It's all the alcohol that makes me lie like that. Don't be a liar this holiday season. Don't drink too much.*

1st settlement in PSU-Sandusky case; more expectedBy MARK SCOLFORO
The Associated Press | August 19,2013AP PHOTO
Former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky arrives at the Centre County Courthouse for a post-sentencing hearing in Bellefonte, Pa., in January. A lawyer says his client is the first to settle a civil claim against Penn State related to the Sandusky child sexual abuse case.HARRISBURG, Pa. A young man who testified he was sexually abused by former Penn State assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky will get a reported multimillion-dollar payout in the first of what is expected to be dozens of settlements between the university and Sanduskys accusers.
The Philadelphia Inquirer first reported Saturday that the young man known as Victim 5, who took the stand at Sanduskys criminal trial and sentencing last year, settled for several million dollars.
Attorney Tom Kline confirmed the deal to The Associated Press on Saturday, but would not specify the dollar amount. He said the parties signed off on the agreement Friday.
Kline said his 25-year-old client was relieved and expected to receive the money within a month. The man identified himself for his testimony, but AP generally does not identify people who are victims of sex crimes.
The paper reported the deal is the first of 26 settlements expected soon among 31 young men who have pressed claims over Sanduskys actions and the schools response.
Kline told the AP that as part of the agreement, his client assigned his claim to Penn State, effectively giving the university a better chance to recover the money from other parties, such as The Second Mile, a charity for at-risk youth that Sandusky founded.
University officials left themselves a wide open road to recover a significant amount of this money back from their insurers and Second Mile. And we support that, Kline said.
Michael Rozen, one of the lawyers brought in by Penn State to resolve the civil claims, told the paper that Victim 5s case was considered among the more serious because the abuse occurred in August 2001, months after top school officials were informed by a graduate assistant that he saw Sandusky assaulting a boy in a team shower.
The pivotal issue from the universitys perspective in dealing with the victims is where the incident occurred and when it occurred proximate to the 2001 shower incident, Rozen told the paper.
A spokesman for the university declined comment Saturday on the deal, saying the school continues to make progress on multiple settlements.
At Sanduskys trial, Victim 5 testified that he met the coach at a Second Mile camp in 1999 and went to Penn State games with him. He said that Sandusky groped him in the showers during a workout.
Kline said the agreement does not prevent Victim 5, who lives outside Philadelphia, from talking or writing about his experience, although he has no plans to do so.
We hope that there is closure, but I can tell you on his behalf that he understands there (are) continuing proceedings, because this case has had, and continues to have, many long tentacles, Kline said.
Victim 5 was among eight young men who testified at Sanduskys trial about abuse that included fondling and rape, including incidents on school property.
Penn State announced a year ago the day Sandusky was convicted of 45 criminal counts that it hoped to compensate his victims fairly and quickly. Penn States trustees have authorized some $60 million to be used for settlements.
Sandusky, 69, is serving a 30- to 60-year state prison sentence for child molestation and related offenses.
He spent three decades at Penn State under former head coach Joe Paterno, and met some of his victims through The Second Mile, which he continued to operate after he retired from Penn State in 1999.
A 1998 complaint about Sandusky showering with a boy one of those who testified against him was investigated by university police but no charges were filed. A graduate assistant, Mike McQueary, witnessed a different incident in the team shower in 2001 and notified Paterno and other high-ranking school officials, but police were not called.
The response of university leaders, including Paterno, was heavily criticized in a report commissioned by the school last year. Paterno died in January 2012, but criminal charges for an alleged cover-up are pending against three others: former president Graham Spanier, retired vice president Gary Schultz and retired athletic director Tim Curley. All three deny the allegations.
Penn State had fostered an image of a model football program under Paterno, whose statue outside the football stadium was taken down after the scandal broke.
The school has spent nearly $50 million on the Sandusky scandal, not including any payments to the victims and accusers.MORE IN Wire SportsTHE ASSOCIATED PRESS Full StoryTHE ASSOCIATD PRESS Full StorySOELDEN, Austria With four different winners over the past four years, the womens Alpine...
