Jerry Sandusky, the former assistant football coach charged with 40 counts of child sex abuse, breaks his silence on the Penn State scandal with Bob Costas. And he unsurprisingly denies all the charges. "Horsing around" and "horseplay" are terms that are now forever tainted.

On the heels of the revelation that the judge who freed Jerry Sandusky on bail was a donor to Sandusky's Second Mile charity, and the incredulous questions as to why she did not recuse herself, here are some more unanswered questions surrounding this awful scandal. Not to get into the realm of conspiracy theory, but there are some very disturbing "coincidences" surrounding this case.

NC emergency management director sets retirementThe Associated Press
State Emergency Management Director Doug Hoell is retiring from his post, capping more than three decades of work on disaster prevention, response and recovery.
The Department of Public Safety announced Hoell's retirement Thursday, a day before it takes effect.
Hoell's work in emergency management dates back to 1976, when he served with Raleigh/Wake County emergency preparedness. He was appointed as state emergency management director in July 2005.
Hoell led the state's efforts to identify potential natural and man-made hazards and risks, limit damage and coordinate staff and resources to support local response.
Department of Public Safety Secretary Kieran Shanahan said deputy director Mike Sprayberry will serve as acting director until a permanent replacement is found. Sprayberry was also appointed to his post in 2005.

Saying yes to romance hard with babies
Updated On: Feb 19 2009 10:59:38 AM EST
I've always loved Valentine's Day. What's more fun than celebrating love? Even when I didn't have someone special, I still looked forward to the prospect or reminisced about past loves.
This year, as the holiday approached, I realized my idea of romance has changed drastically over the years. I have already stressed about bringing back the love to my love life, and I am still trying to figure out what that means.
In school, I was the girl -- annoying to some -- who decorated my boyfriend's locker with gaudy store-bought professions of love. I cut and pasted red and pink construction paper hearts onto my homemade cards. I didn't hesitate to pay a few bucks to send a hand-delivered rose to one of my classmates.
In college, I struggled to find romance among the drunken boys, hanging onto the random gestures of a few good ones ?- staring at the stars from a rooftop, surprising me with a bottle of champagne through my window, driving through an icestorm because he had to see me.
With marriage, romance is harder to come by. When you live with the same person, it's hard to find the urge to slip love notes or kiss in the rain. It becomes more about keeping the other person in our thoughts, taking out the trash so he doesn't have to, cleaning the bathroom so I don't have to.
And now we have babies, which means more to clean and less time to share the love with each other. I find myself kissing my children more than my husband, and I wonder if this is such a good thing. A strong marriage means we're better parents for our kissable kids, so perhaps we need to remember that no matter how tired we are at the end of the day.
My husband recently told me about a study that found married couples who knew they wanted to have children returned to happy couples about 18 months after the baby arrived. The study found it took longer for people who were on the fence about procreating. The results were dim for those who probably didn't want to have kids to begin with.
Do I need to wait another nine months to set the spark? Or should we just ride the wave of babydom and realize that romance evolves as usual?
For Valentine's Day, we could have found a sitter and made a romantic night on the town. But we decided to include the kids and friends for dinner at a nearby restaurant that serves gourmet food but doesn't mind kids. Since the day is about spending time with your loved one, it made sense to include our new loved ones.
But there has to be time for us as a couple. I've talked about date nights, which are great, even when the sitter calls in distress about a teething baby who won't fall asleep. I might even say it's romantic to gulp our red wine and rush home to our kids.
For my husband, romance is pretty basic. If I make him breakfast or even a snack now and again he's happy. He also says it's about saying "yes" more than "no." Food and intimacy. Again, very basic.
But the girl who decorated lockers often longs for a little surprise, and that doesn't have to include diamonds. I want a stab at the romantic comedy finale where they run to each other in a desperate kiss.
I want it, but that doesn't mean I'll get it.
I'm learning a lot about compromise in my fifth year of marriage and first year of motherhood. I don't get as many opportunities to be a fool for love. I don't have the chance to let my hair down and soak in a hot bath with my one true love.
But now I have the option to share my love with more than just my husband. I may kiss my kids -- and let's not forget the dogs -- more than enough each day. As long as I sneak a few to my husband, I think romance lives on in our house.
I will just try to say yes to it more often.

Florida Grand Opera
Florida Grand Opera (FGO) is an American opera company based in Miami, Florida. It is the oldest performing arts organization in Florida and the seventh oldest opera company in the country.[1] FGO stages productions at the Ziff Ballet Opera House, located in the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts in Miami, and also at the Au-Rene Theater at the Broward Center for the Performing Arts in Fort Lauderdale.
Company history[edit]
In 1941, the company was founded as The Opera Guild of Greater Miami by Arturo di Filippi, an accomplished tenor and voice teacher at the University of Miami. It later became known as Greater Miami Opera Association. [2] FGO was created in 1994 from the consolidation of two opera companies in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale region: Opera Guild of Greater Miami, originally founded in 1941 by Arturo di Filippi; and the Opera Guild, Inc. of Fort Lauderdale, originally formed in 1945.
From 1941 through 1972, di Filippi led the company as General Director, regularly brought leading artists from the Metropolitan Opera to South Florida, presenting them in the roles for which they had won worldwide acclaim. A 1965 production of Lucia di Lammermoor with Joan Sutherland featured a young Italian tenor, Luciano Pavarotti, in his American debut.
Upon Dr. di Filippi's retirement, he was succeeded by Robert Herman in 1973. Herman had served as Assistant General Manager at the Metropolitan Opera under Sir Rudolf Bing from 1953-1973 and was persuaded to forgo retirement to lead the Miami company. During his administration, the budget grew from $650,000 to $4 million, and many of the world's leading opera singers continued to appear with the company; production values were dramatically elevated as the subscriber and donor bases increased. Greater Miami Opera entered the ranks of the country's leading opera companies and was established as one of the premier cultural institutions in the southeastern United States.
Robert M. Heuer was appointed General Manager when Herman retired in 1985. During his tenure, extensive educational and outreach programs were developed throughout the community and the company's Young Artist Studio was established. In addition, Heuer led efforts to build a much-needed state of the art performance venue in Miami, which resulted in the opening of the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts of Miami-Dade County in 2006. Prior to that, the company's home theater was the Dade County Auditorium in Miami. Heuer's 25th anniversary was celebrated with a gala concert in 2010[3] and he retired in 2012.[4]
Susan T. Danis was appointed Florida Grand Opera's fourth General Director in 2012.[4] During her tenure at Sarasota Opera, where she had served as executive director since 1999, the company's budget grew exponentially and she successfully headed a $47 million capital campaign which included the renovation of the company's historic theater. In fall 2013, her first planned season opened with Marvin David Levy's Mourning Becomes Electra.
On October 30, 2014, Danis sent out an announcement to FGO patrons and audience members indicating the uncertain future of the company due to an unworkable business plan and declining revenue.[5] A series of "townhall" meetings were held to which audience members were invited in order to learn more about the company's past, present and future.
Music directors[edit]
Under the name of "Greater Miami Opera", Emerson Buckley was the company's Music Director from 1950 to 1973 and then served as Artistic Director and Principal Conductor through 1986.[6] Willie Anthony Waters, who had become Chorus Master of the company in 1982,[7] then served as Artistic Director from 1986 through 1992[8] and Principal Guest Conductor from 1992 to 1995.[9]
Stewart Robertson was FGO music director from 1997 to 2010. On June 1, 2011, Ramon Tebar became FGO's music director. He also became the first Spanish conductor to lead both an American opera company and an American symphony.[10] In 2014, pursuing an international conducting career, he became FGO's Principal Conductor.
The company's rich 74-year production history has included numerous performances by internationally acclaimed singers. Included among them are: Renata Tebaldi, Eleanor Steber, Richard Tucker, Franco Corelli, Birgit Nilsson, Luciano Pavarotti, Sherrill Milnes, Beverly Sills, Judith Blegen, Plácido Domingo, Cesare Siepi, Renata Scotto, Tatiana Troyanos, Jon Vickers, Nicolai Gedda, Joan Sutherland, James Morris, Martti Talvela, Diana Soviero, Deborah Voigt, Helen Donath, Thomas Stewart, Evelyn Lear, Teresa Żylis-Gara, Peter Glossop, James McCracken, and many more.

The Young Artist Studio was founded in 1984 with the goal of giving young singers the chance to improve and refine their skills that were initially developed during formal music education in university, music school and/or conservatory. Part of this training includes mainstage and recital performance experience which is important to developing a successful career in opera.
The selected artists receive extensive coaching and instruction during the 6-8 month residency. Under the guidance of a staff of working professionals,young Artists study with renowned artists and teachers from every aspect of the world of opera while gaining valuable performance experience. Singers receive individual coaching sessions and participate in master classes and seminars given by acclaimed guest artists. Special classes in audition techniques, fight choreography, dance, tax and personal finance, and public relations may also be offered.
The highly competitive program accepts 8-12 artists from over 600 applicants each year and has trained more than 150 young professionals who now appear on the stages of the nation's leading operatic and theatrical organizations. During their residency Young Artists perform recitals and concerts for the community and outreach programs for students, which brings opera to audiences throughout the region, and enables them to gain valuable experience and feedback. Perhaps most importantly, the Young Artists perform featured and supporting roles in mainstage performances and serve as covers for leading roles in the season's repertoire.

Every season Florida Grand Opera's Education Department creates a broad range of engaging music education and community programs. More than 20,000 children, families and community members will take part in FGO programs this season – in Broward, Miami-Dade and Monroe counties.
SCHOOL PROGRAMS provide innovative opportunities for students and teachers to make music in their classrooms, make music education resources available for free to schools and allows them to experience the opera art form as audience members.
CLASSROOM CONNECTIONS are offered to any school that seeks to feature a member of FGO's staff or Young Artist Studio in an educational setting.
OPERA LAB is a "laboratory of learning through opera", 16 week, in-school residency program. During the 2014-2015 season, FGO's Operalab will be conducted at Hialeah Senior High School.
TEACHER WORKSHOPS FGO partners with Miami-Dade Public Schools to present day long workshops to Music, Theatre, Social Studies, English and Foreign Language teachers. Using methods of opera-integration as the focus of learning, teachers explore various ways of incorporating opera into their curriculum.
STUDENT DRESS REHEARSALS 5,000 middle and high school students from South Florida schools attend the final dress rehearsals of the season's productions at the Adrienne Arsht Center for the Performing Arts.
COMMUNITY PROGRAMS provide free public recitals and musical workshops throughout South Florida, making opera accessible to over 24 communities. These programs bring musical experiences to people of all ages and circumstances.
READ ALONG, SING a SONG is Florida Grand Opera's literacy-through-music program. Partnering with Miami-Dade and Broward County Public Libraries, FGO Teaching Artists use the power of music to bring books to life and promote the benefits of literacy.
FAMILY DAY is a collaboration between FGO and South Florida community venues; bringing a fun-filled day of opera to the people.
COMMUNITY CONVERSATIONS – an adult education series that brings the opera art form into South Florida communities through thought-provoking discussions and performances. Using FGO's 2014-2015 season as a catalyst, these hour-long events allow audience members to reflect, rethink and find new meaning in issues that affect South Florida.

I'm a sabres and rags fan who's been living in Montreal for a long time so I'll chime in.
As just about everyone else has mentioned, tickets are going to be costly. I'm sure you'll be able to get something, but the pricing is not going to be what you're used to anywhere else you've been.
From my personal experience, Habs fans tend to dislike the Rags, but not
of the Rags per se. It's not like, say, their hatred for anyone or anything having to do with Boston. They're probably going to be annoying to a certain degree, but I wouldn't be worried about any physical harm or anything. It really can go both ways... and I guess it depends on how many of you there will be, and how loud you're gonna be compared to who's around you.
I always wear my Sabres/Rags jerseys when I go see games here, even if it's just in a bar... and it's always been mostly fine, but I do speak the language and go with a bunch of Habs fans friends, so I don't know what it's like as a true outsider. Worst that's happened to me is having to deal with insane homer ignorance/arrogance - "blablabla 24 cups".
Either way, Montreal's a great city worth visiting. I was born and raised in NYC, and I've been out here for over 10 years by choice if that's any indication, so come on over and have fun =)

Hi, all! My name is Sarah A. Chavez and I just joined this group. I'm excited to discover all these new (to me) voices! My blog is called American Mestiza (www.sarahachavez.com) and focuses primarily on my experiences going through the world as mixed person of color. I'm interested primarily in issues of identity performance and the pressures and fissures in cultural expectations, as well as how those things effect the psyche. Gracias in advance to anyone generous enough to check out my blog!
Hello! My name is Anne Goldmann and I've just joined the group. I am a new blogger and very inspired to learn, connect with women writers and improve my skills.

Good morning all. I would love for you all to check out my blog at www.chosen303.blogspot.com, and feel free to criticize or give any advice. I'm looking to make something out of writing one day. I'm currently a firefighter and have been for going on 9 years now. As I said before, I would love to switch careers and do what I truly love, and that is write. Thanks in advance, and God Bless!

Jeremy, I thought I'd already answered your post. Sorry about the delay!
I think your writing is great and I hope you have a great career ahead of you as an author.
I'm interested in writing fiction but I have a long way to go as far as skill level and comfort with the idea of finding an agent and publisher. Ah well, life is currently too busy for publishing deadlines, anyway.
Hope to see you around the board. Do you have any authors you'd recommend? We're always looking to add to our TBR (to-be-read) lists!

Why Faith Matters is an articulate defense of religion in America. It makes the case for faith and shows its relationship to history and science. Refuting the cold reason of atheists and the hatred of fanatics with a vision of religion informed by faith, love, and understanding, Rabbi David J. Wolpe follows in a literary tradition that stretches from Cardinal Newman to C. S. Lewis to Thomas Merton—individuals of faith who brought religion and culture together in their own works. Wolpe takes readers through the origins and nature of faith, the role of the Bible in modern life, and the compatibility of God and science, concluding with a powerful argument for the place of God, faith, and religion in today's world.--This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

I'm a little late in finding your message, as I just this very moment got online to look at a few names from my family history. I was delighted to find your post on Susan Bigby; she was my great-great-great grandmother, via Molly Bell Blagg. The confirmation of Molly's name was a boon, too--my great-grandmother, her 7th daughter Ora Ardena Baldwin Fisher (04-03-02, Oklahoma) was 5 or so when her mother died and did not know for certain if it was Molly Bell or Mary Elizabeth. If you have anything further on Susan and/or Molly, I would be so pleased to hear about it!

I have to say the patch notes are rather unimpressive. It's a fairly short list of changes, many of which are small and/or nearly inconsequential. With all the issues people have with quests not working, I would have thought those would be first on the list for fixing. I suppose typos are quick and easy to fix, but it's been several days/week since anything was patched to actually fix or improve something major. I don't plan on going anywhere, but I would like to see things move a little more quickly.
Wasn't there talk about weekly/bi-weekly episodes/content being added?
Maybe things just aren't prioritized from major to minor.

Manti Te'o focused on work
Updated: February 18, 2013, 7:50 PM ETBy Pat Yasinskas | ESPN.com
BRADENTON, Fla. -- Those who have watched Manti Te'o prepare for the scouting combine say the former Notre Dame linebacker has shown no signs of being distracted by national media attention that came from his online relationship with a girlfriend that turned out to be a hoax.
"He missed precisely one day," said former NFL quarterback Chris Weinke, the director of football operations at IMG Academy where Te'o has been preparing for the combine. The combine starts Wednesday in Indianapolis.
"He's ...

50 Cent is a noted disciple of self-help guru Robert Greene's Machiavellian handbook, The 48 Laws of Power. Not only has the muscle-bound hip-hop colossus modeled his career after the cutthroat guide, he's working with Greene on a street-flavored addendum called The 50th Law. So far, the four dozen over-the-top credos have worked swimmingly for 50: He's sold more than 20 million albums worldwide since 2003 while pulling in auxiliary profits with Vitamin Water and other less amusing side hustles. But these days, when it comes to music, 50 Cent looks vulnerable; most of the advance singles from Curtis underperformed, and the Queens rapper has a good chance of losing this week's transparent SoundScan battle to Kanye West (if not country bumpkin Kenny Chesney). What's a power-starved, protein-shaking egomaniac to do? Well, re-reading his personal Bible would be a good start …
Law 46: Never Appear Too Perfect-- It is smart to occasionally display defects, and admit to harmless vices, in order to appear more human and approachable.
In this week's Rolling Stone feature on 50 Cent, the rapper claims, "I'm King Kong. Kanye is human. Humans run when they see King Kong, because they're scared." He's right. Hulking, inelegant, and hopelessly primitive, 50 Cent is hip-hop's doomed beast. On Curtis, he sets out to re-energize his base by reminding us of his strengths: He fucks and kills with ease, he needs five deposit envelopes every time he hits up an ATM, and he's a hit with the ladies. But, as Greene makes clear, there's no depth or dynamic to that kind of perfection-- it's like watching a big dildo machine make big dildos all day. While 50 never made a habit of flaunting his faults like Kanye (or Em or Big or 2Pac…), he could usually back up his tales with indelible beats, swaggering hooks, and a flow that slithered like original sin. But those once-bountiful gifts are all heavily downgraded-- or altogether absent-- on Curtis.
50 should be able to work with producers who could conjure his hit-making abilities, but instead the MC mostly sticks with tried-and-failed G-Unit stalwarts and Dre-aping up-and-comers that do him few favors. Nearly every instrumental-- from the cartoon menace of "My Gun Go Off" to the assembly-line funk of "Touch the Sky"-- plods with the same unending gangster greys that tanked recent albums from Lloyd Banks, Young Buck, and Mobb Deep. On the surface, the tracks display a factory-sealed freshness, but that machine-made precision quickly becomes monotonous, begging for something more raw and excitable. Curtis nails this sweet-spot only once, on the stadium-status "I Get Money", an adrenaline rush so pure it manages to revive 50's weary id for three and a half booming minutes. Unfortunately, it's not nearly enough.
Law 25: Re-Create Yourself-- Forge a new identity, one that commands attention and never bores the audience.
With soul-flecked hits like "Hate It or Love It", "Window Shopper", and "Hustler's Ambition", there was some hope that 50 would divert from his hard-charging style toward something more shadowy and sampled-based for this new album. That switch would allow him to age gracefully and give him a sympathetic platform to air out the real Curtis instead of his exhausted superhero guise. But naturally, the laid-back style that characterized Massacre highlights like "Ski Mask Way" and "Ryder Music" is almost nowhere to be found on Curtis.
The reflective poise that characterized his killer "Hate It or Love It" verse is constantly pushed aside for a repetitive nihilism best summed up by the self-explanatory "I'll Still Kill", one of the very few Akon-assisted tracks in existence that fails to stick. The album's only concession to modern pop trends-- the Timbaland-produced, Timberlake-hooked "Ayo Technology"-- flies off the rails as 50, ripped from his comfort zone, falls behind the gurgling, video-game-blipping beat. Though he tries to force the track into more familiar territory with a cyborg-stripper theme, Justin nabs the spotlight without even trying. The closest 50 comes to the silky maturity that once seemed so promising is on "Follow My Lead", a love ballad with everyone's second-favorite white-boy crooner, Robin Thicke, singing back-up. While the track's supper-club twinkle is a welcome oasis amidst Curtis's Michael Bay brutishness, 50 relies on played-out, faceless pick-up lines: "You could be my Beyonce, I could be your Jay." Thing is, even Jay famously reinvented himself on The Blueprint, shedding his icy exterior for something close to human emotion. Here, 50 misses an opportunity for reinvention, relying on the same useless 9mm Viagra formula.
Law 18: Do Not Build Fortresses to Protect Yourself-- Isolation is Dangerous: Isolation exposes you to more dangers than it protects you from-- it cuts you off from valuable information, it makes you conspicuous and an easy target.
50 Cent currently lives in a 50,000 square foot house in Farmington, Connecticut. The former Mike Tyson abode has five Jacuzzis, 25 full baths, 18 bedrooms, an elevator, two billiard rooms, a movie theater, a locker room, and several stripper poles. Especially for a man known for his reclusive reputation, the house is a fortress of the highest order. It's also an apt symbol for his isolation and detachment from the modern rap landscape. In direct opposition to Kanye's fearless, risk-taking Graduation, 50's new album is a blatant rehash-- a bottom-line sequel that insults the same audience it mindlessly panders to. Once again, from Rolling Stone: "'Kanye receives trophies because he's safe,' 50 Cent says, punctuating the word 'safe' with a lisp and a limp wrist." At this point, those grandstanding put-downs aren't just wildly off-the-mark, but genuinely sad; like Curtis, such remarks are too pathetic to be taken seriously and too stupid to be funny. In his insular quest to recapture the king-sized popularity of his massive debut, 50 is sacrificing the same thing that Kanye (and Jay and Nas...) has so tirelessly worked to cultivate: an engaging music career worth remembering.

In the absence of Lasith Malinga in Tests, Shaminda Eranga has the skills to be the most potent bowler in Sri Lanka's pace attack
Andrew Fernando
December 20, 2012
Related Links
Players/Officials: Shaminda Eranga | Lasith Malinga
Matches: Australia v Sri Lanka at Hobart
Series/Tournaments: Sri Lanka tour of Australia
The loss in Hobart may not have greatly enhanced the reputation of Sri Lanka's Test pace attack, but there is a Sri Lankan fast bowler who has had a soaring start in Australia. Lasith Malinga possesses the fire to distress batsmen on any surface, and his exploits - eight wickets at 5.75 - have been in the wrong format, and for entirely the wrong team, when Sri Lanka aim to secure victory in a land that has yielded them only disappointment in the longest format.
Injury may have sidelined Australia's two best fast-bowling prospects for the summer, but Sri Lanka's finest quick has been lost to their Test team through a chronic injury for some time now, and his early harvest in the Big Bash League have only served to highlight how sorely he is missed. Less than a week out from the Boxing Day Test, Malinga's long-time mentor and Sri Lanka's fast-bowling coach, Champaka Ramanayake, still harboured hopes that Malinga might play in whites again, but the bowler himself has ruled out a return. If he could play, the visitors' pace attack would be stripped of its humdrum, and re-dressed in venom. Malinga's knee is one of the great frustrations of Sri Lanka's present state.
But there is another, Ramanayake believes, who can lend Sri Lanka's attack the edge it has lacked. Like Malinga, Shaminda Eranga was unearthed at a pace competition in an outstation town, and was quickly brought into Sri Lanka's fast-bowling academies and given a place in a first-class team of his choosing. There he learnt the rudiments of swing and seam under Ramanayake's guidance, and eventually progressed to Sri Lanka's A team, and into the international fold.
His Test debut gave much cause for encouragement, when he squeezed five Australian wickets from a typically lifeless SSC pitch to finish with more scalps than any other quick bowler in the match. A nerve-related back injury then sidelined him for almost a year, but he has done enough on return to retain his place in the team, even if he hasn't yet bettered the haul from his first innings at a Test bowling crease. Eranga has the ability to move the ball both ways off the seam - if modestly - and bring the ball into right-hand batsmen in the air, which has seen him earmarked as talent worth investing in. In Galle, against New Zealand in November, he also showcased a mastery of reverse swing, delivering a series of tailing yorkers towards the end of the visitor's first innings.
Perhaps more crucially for Sri Lanka on their current assignment, Eranga was the only bowler who was not decisively outgunned by Australia's pacemen in Hobart. Easily the sharpest of the visitor's pack, Eranga kept pace with Peter Siddle and Mitchell Starc, while Chanaka Welegedara struggled to hit the low 130s (kph), and Nuwan Kulasekara was slower still.
"Eranga is a guy who can give us a bit of firepower," Ramanayake said. "He has only played four Test matches, three of which were in Sri Lanka. He played against Australia at home and he bowled really well in that game. I can see that he's bowling 140-plus, and as time goes, he can be a very good bowler who can take five-wicket hauls and win us some games."
Eranga's promise was not evident in his figures from Hobart, however, and while Starc and Siddle both earned five-wicket hauls, Eranga's match figures were 2 for 143. Australian pitches reward bounce more than most, and in that regard, he is hampered by a bowling action that remains essentially homespun. Eranga does not brace his front leg at the crease, nor is his arm vertical at release, and accordingly, he does not generate the lift that he could achieve, given his height. His movement too, was missing in Hobart - and though a flat pitch in the first innings allowed little lateral movement for any bowler, there was reverse swing in evidence later in the game, which Eranga did not exploit. A tendency to become intermittently wayward also undermined the efforts of other bowlers, when they had been building pressure with tight spells from the other end.
"If he can start moving the ball a little bit more with his pace, I'm sure he'll be able to take more wickets," Ramanayake said. "Consistency as well, is key. If he can bowl in the right areas and keep his lines and lengths, I'm sure that he will get there very soon."
In an attack desperate for an aggressor, Eranga is the only bowler with the pace to become a truly fearsome force in Australia, and as such, his performance is key to their prospects in the remaining Tests. Eranga has impressed the selectors and coaching staff with his potential, but until his results begin to match that promise, Sri Lanka's pace attack is may not progress beyond pedestrian.

Ecclestone unconcerned by Bahrain GP
Apr 5, 2013, 2:30 PM EST
Bernie Ecclestone has no reservations over the 2013 Bahrain Grand Prix despite widespread protests in the run up to last year's race.
In 2011, the race was postponed due to violence flaring up in the wake of the Arab Spring, with the safety of all personnel thought to be at risk should the GP have gone ahead. One year later, there were still violent protests to deal with, but the race went ahead regardless without any interruptions, although two members of the Force India team flew home for fear of their safety.
When asked by Reuters if he was worried about the race, Ecclestone said "No concerns, none at all.
"I haven't had any negative reports from anybody there. Somebody who actually lives there came to see me yesterday and said everything's very normal."
Ecclestone also suggested that any action would hinder peace efforts in Bahrain.
"I think they are talking now anyway, so I don't think they'll upset the talks by making protests. It didn't help them last year, so if they had any brains they'd just get on with their talks."
Bahrain has hosted a grand prix since 2004, acting as the curtain raiser for the 2006 and 2010 Formula One seasons. Following the violence in 2011, many believed that the Sakhir International Circuit's place on the calendar was under threat, and the lack of popularity among drivers and fans could see the race be dropped in the near future. For now though, Bahrain will host the race for a ninth time on April 21.

How do APIs and IoT relate? The answer is not as simple as merely adding an API on top of a dumb device, but rather about understanding the architectural patterns for implementing an IoT fabric. There are typically two or three trends: Exposing the device to a management framework Exposing that management framework to a business centric logic Exposing that business layer and data to end users. This last trend is the IoT stack, which involves a new shift in the separation of what stuff happens, where data lives and where the interface lies.

Last week's Pennsylvania House vote to end decades of strict government control over the sale of alcohol was certainly historic.
It's the first time such a measure has cleared a chamber, despite efforts dating back at least to Gov. Dick Thornburgh's administration.
But it's a little early to be making toasts.
State Senators are decidedly less excited about shuttering the state stores than their counterparts in the House.
Amid the representatives' back-slaps and fists-pumps, Senate Majority Leader Dominic Pileggi's reaction to the House vote Thursday was like a splash of cold water.
"It's not something that's been an item of active interest and discussion in the Senate," he said.
However, Pileggi said the Senate could hold hearings on the House bill in a month or two, and Senate President Pro Tempore Joe Scarnati said he expects Senate action sometime before the end of the year.
Not exactly the fast track, but at least the Senate is willing to take up the bill — even if the two leaders appeared to be lowering expectations for its passage.
We hope it gets a fair chance.
Poll after poll shows large majorities of Pennsylvanians favor privatizing the state liquor stores. Yet year after year, we've seen the will of the people thwarted in Harrisburg.
It doesn't make sense.
For most people this is a simple issue: Pennsylvania has no business being in the booze business, putting itself in the contradictory position of enforcing the state's alcohol laws while at the same time pushing alcohol sales.
It's also about the inconvenience this bizarre system causes by telling law-abiding adults where, when and how much alcohol they can purchase.
As we've noted before, even the Bible Belt and Deep South states decades ago abandoned the strict control of alcohol sales that Pennsylvania now shares only with ultra-conservative Utah.
We're cautiously optimistic the Keystone State is on the verge of change.
