Elizabeth Hendrickson Confirms She's Leaving 'Y&R'
What started as just a rumor has officially transformed into a hard truth for "The Young and the Restless" fans: Elizabeth Hendrickson (Chloe Abbott) has officially confirmed that she is indeed leaving the soap she joined in 2008.
In an exclusive statement to Soap Opera Digest, Hendrickson said: "You may have heard the rumor that I am leaving 'Y&R'…and it is with a grateful heart that I wanted to tell you personally, my unbelievable fans, that the rumor is true. What does one say after a decade of the most amazing relationship? Let me start by saying THANK YOU. Thank you for standing by me and all of my characters in daytime over the many years. A big special thanks to the BAMers, Chilly's, Clonan's and Clovin fans. Your love and dedication has been unwavering. Even the most beautiful relationships need to go through changes in order for them to grow and evolve. This is where I find myself. I need to stretch my wings and fly into the unknown. The one thing that remains true and what I will hold close to my heart as I embark on this new adventure is that I will ALWAYS have you. If it weren't for all of your love, support and faith in me as an actress I wouldn't be able to make this bold move. Please know, this is not goodbye forever. This was a very amicable parting of ways. I will be working for a few more weeks and airing well into May. 'Y&R' and especially [executive producer] Jill Farren Phelps made it very clear they did not want to see me go and plan to leave the door open for Chloe. I am beyond thankful for my career in daytime, the friends I have made along the way and especially for all of you. I hope to see you all soon. Lets keep in touch. Maybe in another medium or simply another time slot. Regardless. I'll miss you. Love Lizzie. "
How do you feel about Hendrickson's decision to leave? Will you miss her in the role of Chloe?

Thank you. Finally someone is leaving Y&R with horrible stories for 5-6 years no less, came on as a floozy, and is a poor actress. Even if in real life she's (self proclaimed) "petite and spicy" that didn't help, on camera she came off as a whiny, spoiled brat.
- Carmn
I was wondering… Chloe is such a zombie now [understandable]. Character has really gotten boring. Enjoyed Ms. Hendrickson in both All My Children, and The Young and The Restless. Best wishes!!
- Cynthia Ann Matta
Hope you find what you're looking for E.H .CHLOE story line was getting boring I would always fast forward good luck. ..
- Judy
Now lets get rid of her new husband. He looks and acts like he is 15. The new Billy is terribl – e acting and looking so young so immature for Victoria. The show is going down hill I don't watch it any more except when there is absolutely nothing else to do but end up turning it off.
- Racquel Garnette
Chloe storyline was getting boring and i am so glad that she is leaving the show. The writers turn her into some kind of monster. She won't be missed. She was a dog who slept around with so many guys on the show. Chloe hasn't spoke to this new Billy after the car accident. I am glad that Adam is alive and someone else will be playing him.
- Power Trip
I'm still a little unhappy about it. Hell soon we wont recognize the cast. Everyone will be gone and replaced. Every time I look up someone's leaving y&r. Makes you wonder what's really going on around there.
- Bequet Myka
Boy…do you ever need tough skin to be in this business!! Good Luck, Elizabeth, I'll miss your character!!! Chloe really grew on me….liked you with Chance!
- Doylene Christy
Well, I do not like the new Billy. Will someone tell me what was wrong the the other one? This new one looks like a baby and also looks like he's pouting all the time. The stupid story line where he gets so mad at Stitch for kissing Victoria, like he's such an angel and didn't sleep with Kelly. It's time for her to go. I don't know why it was so hard for him to talk to his wife about his loss. Vicky loved Delia too. The writers need to keep up with the history of the show. I've been a fan of Y & R since day one. My #2 Son was 18 months old when it first came on. He's now 42 yrs. old. The writers must think we are stupid and can't remember.
- eve wilson
If you have been watching Y&R since day one then you should remember that the NOW Billy is the original Billy. (since he growed up.) I agree he does seem to pout alot & doesn't have the look or repour as our other Billy had but he IS trying. I think we are just so use to Billy Miller with his likeable ways & that wide smile he had! I miss him too but I read that he decided to move on & try other things & Y&R wouldn't let him stay there & do other things too so he quit! I dont see why he couldn't have done both myself cuz there will NEVER be a Billy as good as he was! A long time fan of Y&R too….
- Greenie O'Wobbles
Yes…..viewers seem to FORGET that David Tom portrayed the role of Billy Abbott, originally. However, since the character has matured, Mr. Tom in the role…..is difficult to wrap one's mind around.
- Blaster
Nothing .. Billy Miller quit becuz that soap-wrecker Jill refused him the flexibility to do outside projects ..
- Flutterbymee
I feel the same way! The current writers need to brush up on the History of the show and write their story lines around it. The new Billy (which was the original Billy is TERRIBLE!!! I've been watching the show for 30 years faithfully myself and in these past few months for the first time ever I fast forward through many scenes or skip watching it altogether. The newcomers have no substance and the story lines are dull. The show has really started to go downhill. It seems the show us losing a lot of loyal fans and losing its appeal. It's sad to say but all good things do eventually come to an end.
- catstoy
sorry to see chloe leaving the show; really as good as the young and restless use to be, it has turned into a boring afternoon soap;……..pitiful how someone can come in and wreak a good show like Y&R was.
- truebeliever
First of all, Chloe isn't an Abbott, she's a Baldwin. Hopefully, when & if she comes back I hope they beef up her storyline.
- smj77
She is a Fisher not Baldwin.
- Al Ly Cat
Yes. By marriage yes but imho it doesn't seem like she feels married in any way but legally – to keep her out of a mental institution. I ca't even remember what name she had when she came to town, so maybe she's that now. Oh well, she's outta there.
- smj77
I don't remember what name she started out with, because she changed it anyway. It was Kate something. She didn't want anyone to know she was Ester's daughter. Fisher would be the last known name where her and Kevin were married before. Idk. I wasn't trying to make a big deal out of anything when I made the first reply. So were you talking about me when you replied to the guest person?
- Al Ly Cat
I love it when people try to correct strangers and are wrong. Instant karma!
- Shedids
She is a Fisher actually….great actress, hope to see her in movies.
- Bruce Anderson
The Young & The Restless has deteriorated so badly since, as a young TV P-D, I purchased it in its first year – only to lose it to Global when it went to one-hour and the network bought national rights for Canada. I presume the story lines are written by primary – or secondary school students – certainly don't give any sense of being written by professionals – or anyone capable of thinking ahead in terms of plot believability. However: Main reason for writing: My wife and a dozen friends all gather Saturday mornings for breakfast in local restaurants. They all watch (some have given up the habit in despair & disgust), but the prevailing conversation centres around how silly the soap has become .. good more for laughter (when they still watch the occasional episode) .. rather than as a daytime drama. And – the one source of total agreement: They do not like the new Billy Abbott .. truly miss the acting superiority of Billy Miller. Of the original 12, I think only three continue to watch. If they were Nielsen subjects, that show would be in deep, deep trouble. Thanks for the opportunity to write – I gave up watching a year ago – but still get the news from the Saturday morning gatherings via my wife, Carol – who also opines that the show has reached a new level of absurdity. Yours (hopefully) for better and more mature writing for TV, Bruce Anderson, Peterborough, ON, Canada.
- Mags123
The character has become so annoying that it's a relief to see her go. She deserves better than she got from Y&R. The show is so bad I can't bring myself to watch.
- shirlr
Hope to see Lizzie in another role, I think she is an incredible actress. Sad that her character got poor direction, but it is Lizzie as an actress that we hope to see again.
- Al Ly Cat
I won't miss her, but I am worried about why so many of them are jumping ship.
- Debbie Lott
I don't care for Chloe, but I believe Elizabeth does an awesome job of portraying this character. Good luck Elizabeth on your new challenges!
- Tteettimes
Billy Miller was by far the best……this Tom guy in no way comes close to being Billy….really animated and unconvincing.he can't even look like Johnnys father even while holding him…..wonder with all the defections and Victors age just how long th Y & R can hold an audience……writers and directors……casts…budgets…will be the doom……going down hill fast
- etta jay
You know tom was the original Billy … miller came in after but I agree miller was a better billie for y&r and def is missed. Tom reminds me of the MacKenzie Days
- Yvonne
He wasn't a good Billy even when he first stepped into the role years ago. He's always been terrible.
- Pattie
I will miss Elizabeth!! I Hope that she will come back to Y and R!!
- loretta
wow Y&R there goes another one chloe
- loretta
its seem that all you read about Y&R is not good I myself feel the same as the other writers tell me when is Y&R going off the air its so sad so many good actors are leaving this show
- Maribel
This actress
Elizabeth is going to General Hospital and she is going to play Robin Scorpio Drake. Since apparently KM is not returning to GH. I have never see Y&R so I hope this actress is a good fit in GH.
- Rchelle
She will be excellent!
- C3patio
I think they should change the name of this soap to: All My Young and Restless Children. Adding Cadie McClain (spell????)…I want to scream…."what about Tad"……And for those ragging on this soap, I have one thing to say..DON'T WATCH IT. I'm enjoying it, bad acting and bad story lines and all.
- momoffour
I am so sorry to see the number of people leaving the Young and the Restless! The loss of Billy Miller is a MAJOR blow to the show. He and Victoria had such chemistry and this one just has nothing to offer to the part. The new Billy just doesn't cut it. How many more people will end up leaving the show……and how much longer do you think your followers WILL follow?! Shape up, Y&R and those in charge!!! You're losing fans left and right!
The story line in Bold and Beautiful is another gigantic waste of time! I am tired, tired, tired of the stupid story of Liam, Hope, and Wyatt. Get rid of Wyatt and the psycho nut mother of his!!!! They both need to leave the show and Hope needs to finally get back on track with Liam and get married and put their childish stupidity behind them. Either that, then change the storyline and have them both go their separate ways. But please, get rid of Wyatt and the nutcase mother!!!!
- FanMe
Omg thank you thank you thank you! I agree. This stupid dragged out story line on bold and beautiful.with Hope, Liam & Wyatt has got to end! What the hell does Hope had diamonds & platinum on her butt? Because seriously she is.not.a saint and diffinately not all that , she had every guy fall to their knees over her
Give me a break! And as far ad Y &R I love this show but killing Delia off was the biggest mistake! This and bringing back the original Billy. Yes this is not a good fit for him. Bring back Billy #2!
Y&R and B&B start listening to your fans before we begin to tune into something else!
- conchita
Seems like they always kill off the kids in this show
- Deb
So many years of watching, but i think its time to stop…i record while at work, but with all the drastic changes i find myself fast forwarding thru most of the show.
Way to many good people gone….and way too many half a.. Actors getting top roles in the show. Enjoyed it for years though…
- Unicorngirl
I totally agree!
- sue
Does anyone know the name of the red lipstick she has been wearing lately? I love it!
- Biancaroo
The lipstick is Nars-Satin Lip Pencil-Luxemburg-Vivid Watermelon.
- Greta Bartlett
- katie
I think she is very smart to leave. It is time and she knows it. Good luck in your endeavors.
- Margaret m
She needs to leave, never liked her character. Y&R really needs to get new story lines, it's become BORING!! Bring back Phyllis, an Adam & the the old Billy, & set the set on fire baby!! Or just get new writers!!!
- Christine Ottinger
Agree with every word. You hit the nail on the head.
- Christine Ottinger
I read in several different articles that Jill Phelps is responsible for all the people leaving. An article on Jill F. Phelps is as follows: In July 2012, following the firing of executive producer and head writer Maria Arena Bell and co-head writer Scott Hamner, Sony Pictures Television appointed Phelps executive producer of The Young and the Restless, alongside the show's former head writer Josh Griffith.[6]
- me
Okay , look Kelly and Jack are gross! Victoria needs to be with Stitch, regardless of who's baby it is. Victor, just shut up and get a hobby, Nikki, stop whining and get a boyfriend ( a real one) not Victor . Summer, please, grow up your not a baby, get a clue, already. Jill , please where to start, are they just going to film her all over that stupid house, figure out the damn box already. Cane , Lilly well their JUST boring. Lauren and Michael, need some downtime. Neil and his family drama is old, move on, Devon who cares, he needs to get a life . and Finally, Sharon and Nick, well may as well watch Jessica (simpson) and Nick (lache) please move them on….Y and R is like a pond, its just sitting..
- jenna
who is this jill phelps woman? I can't believe Billy left and is replaces with this ugly billy. I don't even care about him and Victoria anymore. im sure Amelia misses the old billy… and stitch? he so gross. I wonder what the new adam will look like.
- disappointed
I know this new Billy looks Old…and is not a good looking man at all. Almost looks like a toupee.
- Babygirl
Things change she was good while it lasted! But definitely need to bring the old Billy back. I cant stand the new (old) Billy. Ive been watching Y&R for 40 years but about to find a new soap! Losing Phyllis, Adam and the Billy was a hugh loss!!!!!
- Sophia
Too many changes. Phyllis, Billy, (David Tom didn't stand a chance after Billy Miller) and now they are bringing in, yet another Billy, to try to know. The storyline of Deliah's death has left none of the original characters. Adam, Billy, Chloe……Ashley is not on often, Mrs. C passed away, now I hear a new Phyllis is coming in. As a faithful Y&R fan for over 25 years, I do not like the storylines or the writing….too many new characters and they aren't on long enough to bond with them. I have lost interest. The storyline of Deliah was gripping, and it just fizzled out with letting go of the most important characters. Bad move all the way around. Phyllis leaving (no one can replace her), and yet I read they are replacing her. Another bad move. Can't blame Elizabeth (Chloe) for wanting to leave. The main characters around her storyline are gone (except Kevin). Y&R is not what it used to be. Not even close. Not figuring out how to keep Billy Miller was huge as well. The writing is boring. Even Nick and Sharon's storylines are boring. Just not the same at all, and can't bond with all the constant changes. David Tom wasn't given much of a chance, and had huge shoes to fill. He was growing on me, and now, another Billy. Then, we'll see another Phyllis. Not good, hard to keep loyal viewers with this type of writing.
- tag
Sorry to say, but these bad choices might give CBS a reason to cancel the show completely . ..they need writers that can be more creative and a director that can help these newbies not to look into the camera!! I miss the old cast…
- Want Main Characters Back
I agree 100% w/Sophia it's time to let that music thing go already. U all need to pay more money to bring back the Michael Muhney (Adam), Billy Miller (Billy) & Michelle Stafford (Phyllis). These three characters made the storyline & chemistry work together. Jill F. Phelps it's time to retire sweetheart you're screwing up a wonderful soap opera and to have 1 Million views already (turn in your paper & pen).
- tag
Completely agree. This past year has been disappointing with the several new cast members…(this excludes Hillary-she is good) why can't they direct these actors not to look off into the distance towards the camera???…come on…
- Mommi kat
I have been watching since the very first show. I agree that they have lost much of their real talent. Loved Chloe…beautiful girl and i loved her acting and versatility. I feel it's sometimes necessary to try many endeavors; she is young…go for it while she can, is my take on it.
I, personally, don't like the new Kelly. New/Old Billy is similar in character to Billy Miller but different enough to be his own characterization. I think he is pulling it off really well. There are 2 things i can barely stand in this show…Sharon/Nick…and Victor/Everyone. Soooo sick of both!!! Nick needs a NEW love interest…new blood and not new Phyllis either. Just saying…
- Cindy
They need to write Chloe in from time to time the same way they write Ashley in, during special occasions and holidays. Just don't kill her off like they did DeeDee.
- Choklitgirl
I've been a fan for longer than I can admit! I recorded each and every show on my VCR, then my PVR….Now…NOT! I HATE all the changes in actors and the crappy storylines…Nuf said!
- Chloelizabethfan
Elizabeth Hendrickson, I am thankful for you too!
You played one of my favorite characters in Chloe, but it is thanks to your talent.
I loved watching this character in so many facets. I liked watching her beautiful friendship with Chelsea. All shows need drama, heartbreak and tragedy but they also need really good friends to keep things light and give fans something to enjoy. The long lasting relationships threads that go down through the decades. I thought they could have written Chloe losing it and her relationship struggles with Chelsea a bit better after all the time they built into that friendship. Chloe also had a beautiful relationship with Mrs. C. The loss of another talented actress was too much for this show. That and Billy Miller and Michael Muhney so close together really left so little room for great Chloe storylines. The death of Deliah felt like a waste that it basically came to a halt just as it started to get really good (because of all the key actors in that story leaving).
I also followed her romances with both Philip and Ronan and felt Elizabeth's acting drew me in to to those romances. I was never a huge Kevin/Chloe fan and sort of just saw them as great old friends without much of a spark. I'm sad that all her romance stories never panned out and that they would always introduce another person into those stories for her love interest and then those would abruptly end as well. I wish they put a little more thought into the writing.
I even enjoyed Elizabeth acting when she had someone to dislike. Chloe's rival with Paul's daughter was great.
I think this is a smart move for Elizabeth…. this show has changed too much, lost too much and the head writer needs to go. I had stopped watching not long after DeeDee's death and the actor bleeding that came with it. She is another great one to add to the list. Maybe come back to the show when there is something to come back to and they can actually write something properly for Chloe. The writing has been on the wall for a while that they are not investing the time into her stories.
- paladen3
really gonna miss you, good luck
- dureen
Glad she is leavin
- Jessica Melancon
will miss chloe! Was hoping to see her and Kevin become a real couple and not just to keep her outta prison or rehab
- pappa4
just wrote in…have to start over….I will Elizabeth immensely ! I love the Chloe from the beginning…and I love her with Kevin….please come back soon! also…I miss Michelle/Phyliss….please bring her back…I don't think I will like the new actress, just not the same never is….I am now watching GH so I can see Michelle Stafford….you can do without…..Loren and Jill….send them to paris forever to start a new shop…love Michael and Victor…Nicky….if you are grooming her to be the next matriarch, she will never be another Catherine…Cricket…has a stick up her ass, Paul is comforting…miss Eileen Davis as Ashley…and by the way….nicky's MS…please….don't insult those of us who have a real neuro muscular problem…she, too sweatly, too lame , Victor can do better….I am 59 and have been watching Y & R from day one! Oh and the jewel thing…get it over with already….and send what's his name back to Australia and send Ian with him!

Police officer killed, inferno erupts after father-son dispute in Brentwood
The home at 46 Mill Pond Road in Brentwood in flames Monday afternoon.
BRENTWOOD — Police and family are searching for answers, after an apparent domestic argument ended with an officer killed and a house burned to the ground in a quiet subdivision Monday.
Witnesses said the events began at 46 Mill Pond Road about 4 p.m. with an argument between Walter Nolan and his adult son, Michael Nolan, that escalated into gunfire.
Attorney General Joseph Foster said Brentwood officer Steve Arkell was "fatally shot as he entered the home."
"Another officer entered and was driven out by gunfire," Foster said at a news conference about 10:15 p.m.
He said it is believed Michael Nolan, 47, was the shooter and was killed in the fire that followed the hail of bullets.
Neighbors Susan and Wayne Hughes, who live next door to the Nolans in the Mill Pond Crossing complex, a 55-and-older subdivision, said they didn't know what the nature of the argument was between father and son, but it became so heated that another neighbor called police.
"When the cop walked into the house, we heard a whole bunch of gunfire," Susan Hughes said.
At some point, she said the elder Nolan was taken outside by police and placed in handcuffs in the front yard. More officers were summoned and quickly arrived on the scene while an armed Michael Nolan remained in the house.
Arkell was medflighted from the scene.
Rockingham County Sheriff Michael Downing said his officers were among the first to arrive.
"It's a tragic event. It shows how dangerous the job of law enforcement is. This could happen to any of us at any time," he said.
The Hughes and neighbor James Maguire, who lives on the other side of the duplex where the Nolans live, said they heard multiple rounds.
"It sounded kind of automatic — it was bam, bam, bam," Susan Hughes said. "There was a lot of rapid gunfire — not a shot here or there."
Eventually, the Hughes were moved by police along with other neighbors to a clubhouse in the complex. While they were waiting, an explosion was heard. Dense smoke could be seen rising from the house, followed by the orange glow of flames. The neighbors were then led to an area across the main road to wait as fire trucks were brought in to extinguish the blaze, which went to four alarms.
The Hughes said they had lived in the neighborhood for about four years. The Nolans moved in shortly after they did.
They said they spoke to Walter Nolan periodically, but hardly ever to Michael Nolan.
"He never really talked to anybody; he stays upstairs with his TV on," Susan Hughes said.
James Maguire said he had known Walter Nolan for several years, but rarely had contact with Michael Nolan.
"He just stayed away; he was just very, very shy of everything," Maguire said.
Walter Nolan is in his 80s, according to a relative. Nolan's wife of nearly 62 years, Elizabeth, passed away two years ago.
Arkell, 48, was a part-time member of the town's police force who also handled animal control.
Foster said the site would remain under investigation by the State Police's Major Crimes Unit.
Gov. Maggie Hassan also spoke at the news conference: "I join all Granite Staters in mourning the loss of Officer Arkell, who died doing his job. I know all Granite Staters join me in offering condolences and prayers to his family, loved ones and fellow officers."
Hassan directed that flags be flown at half-staff in honor of Arkell.
Sen. Kelly Ayotte released this statement late Monday night: "This was a senseless and shocking tragedy, and I send my prayers and condolences to Officer Arkell's family as well as the Brentwood Police Department. Losing a police officer in the line of duty leaves a hole in our hearts that can never be filled, and I pray that Officer Arkell's family, friends and fellow officers will find strength in the difficult days ahead."

November 25, 2014
BERLIN (AP) - Germany's interior minister is pressing for "complete information" from Washington on the alleged U.S. surveillance of Chancellor Angela Merkel's cellphone and any other snooping.
Merkel complained to President Barack Obama on Wednesday after receiving information her phone may have been monitored. German spy chiefs plan to travel to Washington for talks.
Interior Minister Hans-Peter Friedrich was quoted Sunday as telling newspaper Bild am Sonntag he wants "complete information on all accusations" and that "if the Americans intercepted cellphones in Germany, they broke German law on German soil." He added wiretapping is a crime and "those responsible must be held accountable."
News magazine Der Spiegel, whose research prompted the government's response, reported that a document apparently from an NSA database indicates Merkel's cellphone was first listed as a target in 2002.

The person writing the ad/job description clearly just likes the sound of "red team", as this is probably not a red team. It's called a red team because it's not the blue team - ie us, the good guys - its some of our guys pretending to be an opposing force, but instead of nicking stuff, they tell us what the blue team did wrong, so we can more thoroughly secure our shit.
This just sounds like a privacy team.
The reality of the job is you need to find better ways to invade people's privacy without getting caught.

Err, ... better ways to exploit and leverage transparency would avoid any problems with invasion of privacy, toadwarrior. For that though would you really need a Red Hot Hatted Team skilled in the Black Hatted Arts and Crafts.
Spot the extremely obvious problem..
.. they are looking for another technical person, whereas they need someone who knows process and law to address the real issue.
I give it one or two weeks before something new will show up. Tops.
Re: Spot the extremely obvious problem..
Is that not covered by the part "will be recognised experts at discovering and prioritising subtle, unusual, and emergent security flaws"?
Penetration Engineers
Microsoft hires Russian hackers, calling them "penetration engineers". That's gotta look good on your resume.
Re: Penetration Engineers
There's plenty of good pen testing companies in the UK.. I have a friend that works for one.. but they don't just test your systems that have a link to the plebs on t'internt.. these guys will show up in suits, with fake ID cards and try and get physical access to your boxes... all payed for by the company being hit, of course..
You'd be surprised how often a bit of social engineering works..
Re: Penetration Engineers
Sounds good, next time they do this for a bank get them to give me a shout, if you get caught you get your get out of jail card otherwise just slope off quietly.
Whatever happened...
... to "Don't be evil"?
"Don't Be Evil" is just the beginning. Here's the rest!
You seem to be unacquainted with the full text of Google's motto, of which "Don't Be Evil" comprise merely the first three words.
The FULL motto runs as follows "Don't be evil, and what we consider 'evil' is anything that negatively impacts our revenue, and you should not allow any laws or legal instruments to compel you to be evil, and insofar as any laws or legal instruments which negatively impinge on our revenue are, by definition, 'evil', it stands to reason that they not only need not be obeyed, they must be actively and enthusiastically contravened - preferably in ways which give us plausible deniability, but then again by means of our highly elaborated network of astroturf organizations, directly and indirectly suborned politicians, and bought-and-paid-for academicians and their tendentious and fraudulent publications and pronouncements - and much, much more because that's not nearly an exhaustive list, trust us!! - we hope to abolish all such laws and legal instruments and thereby bring into existence a world completely free of evil in the truest and fullest sense of the word - by which we mean a world wherein there will be nothing preventing us from maximizing our revenue and profits, at the expense of, well, just anyone at all. Always remember that we are not like Steve Jobs, whose narrowmindedness considers 'evil' to consist of competing with Apple and the iPhone because *we* here at Google have a universal outlook - what is good for Google is good for humanity and for all forms of intelligent life wherever in the universe they might happen to exist or will at some point in the future exist, and what is bad for Google, is bad for us all. Wanna buy some oxycontin? How about a bride from China or Russia?"
I hope that this clears things up for you, at least a bit.
Re: "Don't Be Evil" is just the beginning. Here's the rest! .... with still always more yet to come
Wow, Turtle, that was enjoyable. Thanks for the phish.
You can be sure that there is a running beta, testing search engine driver codes for more SOX compliance with a paradoxical crashing flexibility in crushing leverage, in a slightly revised FULLer motto which is intelligently designed for/by/in Lunar GCHEESE Type House Works to brush critical and strategic concerns aside [imagine it in AI and IT Fields as a Skank Wwworks module which should not be confused with any reeking or freaking Skunk Works clone/wannabe closet cloud cluster model] and which replaces …… it stands to reason that they not only need not be obeyed, they must be actively and enthusiastically contravened …. with ….. it stands to reason that they not only need not be obeyed, they must be actively and enthusiastically addressed and redressed/skirted and rebooted to exclude any possible solicitous charge of cynical and self-serving contravention which invites thoughts of prosecution and litigation
Such though is a smarter caveat for any search engine which hosts the truth amongst a tissue of lies, and not just a Google Collective Executive Prime Directive.
'Penetration Engineers'
"Penetration Engineers" What an exquisite description for the modern day 'Latin Lovers'!

Exp Chest Mod
Additional Videos:
The EXP Chest mod is a Minecraft program which adds the ability to bank and withdraw experience points from a craftable chest. Every player knows the tedium of collecting exp. Either one must be very skilled to fight monsters without dying or spend long periods of time both crafting and operating an exp grinder in order to gather a useful amount of those coveted orbs. Dying with a high level of exp is, likewise, an exasperating experience.
Luckily, there is the EXP Chest!
Crafted using obsidian blocks, gold ingots and a standard chest, the EXP Chest is a placeable item that the player keeps in the inventory screen until ready for use. Once placed, clicking on the chest will bring up a screen with a deposit and withdraw button. A slider is adjusted to determine how much exp the player wishes to either leave in the chest or take with them. This adds a much needed sense of relief in that this valuable resource is safely kept without the risks inherent in simply keeping it on your character. It does not slow down when being filled with more exp in the way the player exp bar does as he goes up in levels, making it an ideal accessory to place next to mob grinders.
The EXP Chest mod for Minecraft is a great way to secure your precious exp with an intuitive, clean interface that anyone can use.
How to download & install:
- Go to the Exp Chest Mod download page
- Download the file
- Follow Exp Chest Mod installation instructions
- Happy Crafting!

You will not require any additional instructions to find the Seminole Rest Stop on Alligator Alley. If you do, you're clearly beyond help, since it's the only gas station on the nearly 80-mile stretch of toll road. Nor will you need many clues to pick out Wally, the rest stop's resident gator. He lives in the canal that rings the station's south parking lot. Call him and he'll paddle over with a toothy grin. Imbeciles have fed him (don't you dare), which makes him distressingly friendly for a nine-foot-long armored reptilian warrior. Stand on the other side of the chain-link fence, take photographs, and be glad he isn't feeding on you.

The sys admin's daily grind: Whowatch et al.
On Patrol
For no particular reason, Charly occasionally patrols his server farm and hunts down attackers. He has put together a neat toolbox for this job.
Every server with an IP address on the Internet will receive uninvited visits at some point. The usual scans and scripted carpet bombing simply bounce off my machines thanks to clever firewalling, port knocking [1], and additional tools like Fail2ban [2]. To keep attackers from working around my defenses, I use two rootkit hunters: Rootkit Hunter [3] and Chkrootkit [4]. The latter, unfortunately, accuses my DHCP server of packet sniffing:
eth0: PACKET SNIFFER(/usr/sbin/dhcpd[28382])
This result is a known false positive, which I ignore. As an interim report, I can say that my varmint hunters have not seen any prey thus far.
Nevertheless, I occasionally go on patrol to see whether a server is behaving strangely. I like to use
whowatch [5] for this purpose. This tool launches in the terminal with a process list; the second column shows me the owner. In the third column, Whowatch tells me whether the user is local or logged on via SSH, Telnet, or in some other way. For remote users, this information is followed by the IP address, and for local users, just
Hotkey Control
I have two ways of navigating this information: I can use the arrow keys to select a line, press Enter, and see a tree view of the associated processes, as shown in Figure 1. Pressing O (owner) hides or displays the process owner; pressing D (details) creates a window with detailed information for the process.
My second option is to type T (tree view) to show all running processes. In this tree view, too, pressing D will display more information. Pressing L (list of signals) shows me the control signals that I can send to the process, such as
TERM, and in an emergency
KILL. I can display the overall system status, particularly in terms of memory management, by pressing S (sysinfo), which tells Whowatch to display the total load on the screen, in a style very much reminiscent of
top (Figure 2).
I have never found anything dangerous on my server patrols to date, but I do like that warm, safe, and cozy feeling.

Are guys that are not really into big boobs like to date gals with big boobs?
If you're an ass or leg guy are big boobs a turn off? Would you prefer a girl you date to cover up maybe a little more, or you would sneak a peak if she bends over? How do you think you would react if a gal with big boobs leans over to expose some boobs to you?I don't believe big boobs are a deal breaker but truly, how do you feel about them.I know the guy I am currently dating is a leg guy. He likes my legs but I have big boobs as well. I'm just wondering if he's embarrassed or prefers I cover up more.
What's Your Opinion?
What Guys Said 2
i like all aspects of a woman , I don't discriminate.i prefer medium size boobs, but big boobs aren't a liability either. as long as they aren't like 2 balloons. like E or F-sizeda girl doesn't have to cover them up, but they shouldn't be the focal point of the interaction.if she bent over, I'd honestly take a quick peek for a second. it's natural instinct. but I wouldn't stare or ogle.if a girl is constantly obsessed with showing her boobs and putting them in my face, I might get a boner, but I'd totally think she's too desperate.

Reds 7, Cubs 5: Skip Schumaker collected two hits and two RBIs while pinch-hitter Chris Heisey homered as host Cincinnati posted its third win in four games.Devin Mesoraco went 2-for-2 with an RBI while Billy Hamilton added two hits and registered his 50th stolen base for the Reds, who remained 6 1/2 games back of San Francisco for the second National League wild-card spot. Brandon Phillips and Zack Cozart each notched an RBI and Mat Latos (5-3) allowed four runs and seven hits with a season-high 10 strikeouts in seven innings before Aroldis Chapman worked around a hit and a walk in the ninth for his 28th save.Jorge Soler homered in his first major-league at-bat and added an RBI single while Luis Valbuena also went deep for the Cubs, who had their four-game winning streak halted. Javier Baez drove in a pair of runs, but Jacob Turner (4-8) was tagged for six runs - three earned - and seven hits over 3 2/3 frames in his first start since being acquired from Miami.Chicago jumped in front in the second as Valbuena and Soler began the inning with back-to-back homers. Turner was unable to hold the lead, however, as Schumaker delivered an RBI double and Cozart followed with a run-scoring groundout in the bottom half.The game remained even until the fourth when Schumaker followed Kristopher Negron's leadoff double with an RBI single and scored on an error three batters later to make it 4-2. Phillips and Mesoraco added back-to-back run-scoring singles later in the frame, but Baez highlighted a three-run eighth with a two-run double as the Cubs got within one before Heisey belted a leadoff homer in the bottom of the frame to make it 7-5.GAME NOTEBOOK: Hamilton became the ninth player in Reds history to record 50 stolen bases in a season and first since Deion Sanders in 1997. He also moved within four steals of the franchise rookie record set in 1909 by Bob Bescher. ... Soler became the first member of the Cubs to homer in his first major-league at-bat since Starlin Castro accomplished the feat on May 7, 2010 - also in Cincinnati. ... Five of the seven outs recorded by Cubs RHP Carlos Villanueva were via strikeout, including each of the final four batters he faced. ... Chicago 1B Anthony Rizzo was held out of the lineup after leaving Tuesday's game with lower back tightness.

Barack Obama Marks The First Anniversary of the Econopocalypse
It was exactly one year ago today that Lehman Brothers executives agreed to file for Chapter 11, and Merrill Lynch executives agreed to sell themselves to Bank of America for $50 billion plus change, and the rest of us agreed to learn what the hell "collateralized debt obligations" are.
Since then, of course, we have largely forgotten about the collapse of the U.S. financial system, on account of the collapse of the debate about the U.S. health care system, but today is the day we start remembering. So says President Obama, who headed to Wall Street this afternoon to give the fat cats a piece of his mind…
"We will not go back to the days of reckless behavior and unchecked excess at the heart of this crisis, where too many were motivated only by the appetite for quick kills and bloated bonuses," Mr. Obama said.
That's very- what's the phrase I'm looking for? Oh yes.

From the Pork Barrel: Why So Serious (About Socialism)?
* Bank of America did nothing wrong in conjunction with its purchase of Merrill Lynch. Nothing! Nothing! Okay, maybe a little something.
* Barack Obama says he won't raise taxes on the middle class — a clear sign that he's about to raise taxes on the middle class.
* Sarah Palin still hasn't Twittered since leaving office, but she has stirred some gun-loving hearts.
* Meanwhile, conservatives continue to Photoshop their feelings about the president.
* Why is this week different from all other weeks? Because it's Shark Week! Hoo boy, sharks! Last year our resident shark nerd Dennis insisted on celebrating with a Shark Week Sharktacular, but he changed his tune after that bull shark (or was it Maureen Dowd?) ate his arm.

Ben Bernanke Didn't Threaten Bank of America, Says Ben Bernanke
Quick recap, for those who've been distracted by steamier matters: Last September Bank of America was in talks to buy flailing investment bank Merrill Lynch, but then an intern looked at his spreadsheet and realized that Merrill had taken $55 billion in writedowns and was basically effed, so Bank of America was all, "Hmm, maybe we could find a better use for our money, like burning it."
At which point — according to Republicans, especially — Ben Bernanke sank his tusks into BoA execs' buttocks, saying, "Sorry dudes, you are gonna buy this thing so it doesn't collapse, here, we will lend you $20 billion and Tim Geithner will do all the photocopying himself."
Which brings us to this morning, when the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform summoned that scoundrel Bernanke to their offices so he could fess up…
Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke said Federal Reserve officials acted with the "highest integrity" during tense negotiations with Bank of America Corp. over the bank's acquisition of Merrill Lynch, unequivocally stating that he did not threaten to replace management if they walked away from the deal.
"I did not tell Bank of America's management that the Federal Reserve would take action against the board or management," Mr. Bernanke said in his prepared remarks.
"Moreover, I did not instruct anyone to indicate to Bank of America that the Federal Reserve would take any particular action under those circumstances," Mr. Bernanke said.
Well, duh.
Why would Ben Bernanke indicate that he might filet their testicles with a steak knife when he could just go ahead and filet their testicles with a steak knife?

Officials: Man defrosting pipes with blowtorch sets house on fire
Updated On: Jan 31 2014 11:20:23 AM CST
A man trying to defrost pipes with a blowtorch started a fire that damaged his Pitt County home Friday morning, said investigators.
The fire happened at about 9:27 a.m. Friday on the 3500 block of S. Waverly St. in Farmville.
According to the Farmville Fire Department, the homeowner was using a blowtorch to defrost pipes under his bathtub. But some of the insulation then caught fire. The flames spread to the bedroom and bathroom of the home, where they were contained, said fire crews.
Two people lived at the home and were not injured, said fire officials. They are staying with relatives.
The home is not a total loss, firefighters said.

Good article except, as he is winding thru his pre-amble of ´I´m not a bad guy´ there´s the state´s recognition of gay pairrage.Sorry. As a group, heterosexual marriages produce the offspring the state needs and that is special, essential and needs to be protected and fostered... and that is OUT of the bedroom.There are plenty of legal means for establishing the bonds of Adam and Steve. Leave marriage out of it.The rest of the article? I like the chicken sandwich idea..

There is nothing that comes with gay marriage that could not be achieved through civil unions. Other than federal tax and benefits treatment, it was already there, and the laws could have been easily change to accommodate civil unions.But, NO! It had to be full-on gay marriage, so that, at best 2% of the population, dictates what marriage is, and demeans and destroys the sacrament of marriage.This was an in-your-face move by gays, and I can never accept or condone their actions. Previously, I ascribed a "live and let live" attitude toward gays; now it is revulsion and disgust.I am no "homophobe;" I don´t have a fear phobia about gays.Rather, I am a homo-despiser because of the gay fascists.

FBI's secret spyware tracks down teen who made bomb threats
FBI agents trying to track the source of e-mailed bomb threats against a Washington high school last month sent the suspect a secret surveillance program designed to surreptitiously monitor him and report back to a government server, according to an FBI affidavit obtained by Wired News.
The court filing offers the first public glimpse into the bureau's long-suspected spyware capability, in which the FBI adopts techniques more common to online criminals.

Hyundai is going to be in a very celebratory mood next spring. That's when Hyundai will start making its hydrogen fuel-cell electric Tucson crossover available to Golden State citizens next year, and the automaker isn't backing away from hyperbole about its green vehicle ambitions.
The company has posted a two-plus-minute video all about its Tucson announcement at the Los Angeles Auto Show last month, with a number of executives promoting the FCEV as the Next Big Thing. Naturally, John Krafcik, then still Hyundai Motor America president and chief executive officer, went for broke, saying that Hyundai has "had a strategy to be the global eco-leader for years," and that folks will be "able to drive the future next spring."
"We've had a strategy to be the global eco-leader for years" Hyundai Motor America's John Krafcik
The 2015 Tucson Fuel Cell will be available in California next spring for a 36-month lease. Customers who put $2,999 down can lease the car for $499 a month, and that includes unlimited free hydrogen refueling for the vehicles, which have an estimated 300-mile range on a full (H2) tank. There are nine hydrogen refueling stations in California, and four Hyundai dealerships will add them.
Meanwhile, Hyundai will introduce a new concept fuel-cell car, the Intrado, at next year's Geneva Motor Show. The company says the fuel-cell powertrain will be smaller and lighter than the Tucson's, though is saying little else about the vehicle. Check out Hyundai's video below.

Penn State Nittany Lions: Garrett Sickels
Assistant wants to unleash PSU D-line
Yet until recently, Penn State's defensive line meeting room resisted renovation. It was one of few elements of the program that, in 2013, looked much like it did in 2005. Larry Johnson coached the group, as he had every season since 2000 (and, in some form, since 1996). And while the Lions' defense struggled for much of last season, the line still produced a first-team All-Big Ten performer, tackle DaQuan Jones, just as it did the previous five years.
Lions defensive linemen now take direction from a man known as Coach Chaos. You'll be able to hear Sean Spencer's voice from Row 80 of Beaver Stadium -- on game days. Spencer wants his Lions to be wild dogs, explaining, "The wild dog is the most efficient animal in the jungle in terms of hunting in a pack."
The 43-year-old dynamo with the "spastic" personality differs from that of his reserved, buttoned-down Penn State predecessor. But when it comes to standards, Spencer and Johnson are aligned.
"Traditionally, the D-line here has always been one of the elite in the country," Spencer told ESPN.com. "I know no other way but to have them rise to the expectations that I set forth and that they set forth for themselves. There's no excuse.
"I don't care who I've got out there. I expect to be dominant."
Spencer's message resonates with a group that, unlike others on a reduced roster, doesn't face dire depth challenges. The Lions return both starters at end -- Deion Barnes and C.J. Olaniyan -- and veteran reserve Brad Bars, who missed all of last season with a ruptured Achilles' tendon.
Sophomore Austin Johnson moves into the lead tackle position and Anthony Zettel, a converted defensive end, has been a good fit at the 3-technique tackle spot.
"The D-line is probably our strength," Franklin said. "We have the most depth at that position. We've got about four deep at defensive end and probably two-and-a-half deep at D-tackle."
If the depth holds up, it will help Penn State use a larger rotation that Johnson typically used. Defensive coordinator Bob Shoop said the Vanderbilt linemen he and Spencer coached last fall didn't average more than 40 snaps a game.
The coaches want to use five or six defensive ends, as Bars, junior Carl Nassib and redshirt freshman Garrett Sickels also are in the mix. A healthy rotation suits Spencer's wild dogs philosophy.
At Vanderbilt, he commissioned a painting of a Commodores football player blended with a dog, which he displayed in his office at Penn State this spring. He also took a giant dog bone to the field.
"Part of their survival is when they chase their prey down, for three to five miles they take turns biting at him," Spencer said. "One goes to the front, and when he gets tired, the next one comes. It's a really unique strategy in terms of the way they attack things. We rotate a lot of guys, so we just take turns nipping at quarterbacks and making plays in the backfield."
Vanderbilt recorded 28 sacks last season, which tied for fourth in the SEC. Spencer estimates 24 came solely from line pressure. He expects the same production at Penn State.
Defensive tackle has been Penn State's strongest position in recent seasons with players such as Jones, Devon Still, Jordan Hill and Jared Odrick. Although Zettel and Johnson aren't known outside Happy Valley, the coaches think that soon will change.
"Zettel has been been very, very disruptive this spring," Shoop said. "Austin Johnson falls in line of the beast D-tackles Penn State's had in the past. He's over 300 pounds, moves well, he's tough to move at the point of attack, got a big butt and legs."
Olaniyan led Penn State with five sacks last season, his first as a starter. Penn State looks for more from Barnes, the former Big Ten Freshman of the Year whose sacks and tackles for loss totals dropped by more than 50 percent from 2012 to 2013.
"What we're looking at is, how can we get him back to that?" Spencer said.
Spencer is pleased with Barnes' football knowledge and said all the linemen are asking "200- and 300-level questions" in meetings. Life without Johnson undoubtedly caused an adjustment -- "It's always tough to see somebody you call a family member leave," Olaniyan said -- but players quickly connected with Spencer, who lists relationship-building among his strengths.
"I grew up without a dad," said Spencer, whose father played for Michigan State in the 1960s. "Unfortunately, we don't have a relationship right now, and he's still alive. It's one of the things I'm least proud of, but at the same time, it made me who I am today. It made me have the ability to reach out to kids that probably are similar to me. I'm a little younger than Larry so they're not going to look at me as a dad, so to speak. They look at me as a big brother or an uncle.
"I think we've got some similarities in the way we care about our players, but I'm probably a little bit wilder than he is."
A little wilder and a little louder, but just as demanding.
"They both have the same philosophy as far as they want you to do everything perfect," Olaniyan said. "It's easy to embrace the new coaches when they have the same goal. We take pride as the Penn State D-line.
"Each game, we want everybody to see us as one of the best defensive lines out there. We want to be great."
At Penn State, some things never change.
PSU's impactful recruiting classes: No. 2
Up next is a class you should be very familiar with ...
No. 2 most impactful class: Class of 2013
Biggest surprise: Bell. He made a lot of strides as a freshman and even made a start toward the end of the season. Bill O'Brien plugged him in for nine games in 2013, and Bell played a lot in the last three. He made 15 tackles in his final three contests -- 24 total on the year -- and even forced a fumble against Nebraska. He should end up starting the next three seasons.
Impact player: Hackenberg. Does this choice really need to be explained? He was the Big Ten Freshman of the Year, one of the better quarterbacks in the conference, and he took off running after enrolling over the summer. Penn State doesn't often start true freshmen in season openers, but Hackenberg surpassed Tyler Ferguson pretty quickly with a calm demeanor and a penchant for learning a lot in a short time. Hackenberg could end up being Penn State's best quarterback since Kerry Collins.
Why this class is important: This countdown isn't just a list of the classes with the best prospects; it's the most impactful. And when sanctions hit and the nation wondered whether Penn State would suffer a fate worse than death, top prospects such as Hackenberg and Breneman took center stage and showed that the university still could reel in the best of the best -- instead of simply settling for MAC-level recruits, as some predicted.
This class might not produce as many All-Big Ten players as the 2006 group. It might not even end up with an All-American. But this class is so important, and impactful, because of what it symbolized at the time. Happy Valley was still a destination, in part, because of the big names in this class. They offered fans hope. And they helped keep Penn State together while having a profound, ancillary effect in other areas.
You think Penn State reels in arguably the best 2014 class of receivers without Hackenberg? No chance. You can measure impact different ways, and this recruiting class is undoubtedly one of the most important in Penn State history.
More impactful recruiting classes:
No. 5: Class of 2011
No. 4: Class of 2004
No. 3: Class of 2006

PSU position preview: Defensive ends
Key losses: Sean Stanley (2012 stats: 35 tackles, 9.5 tackles for loss, four sacks) and Pete Massaro (2012 stats: eight tackles, one tackle for loss, five starts).
Next in line: Anthony Zettel will see increased time this season as the top backup in the rotation. He's slightly bigger than Olaniyan (6-4, 258 compared to 6-3, 244) and he finished third on the team in sacks last fall with four.
DE Brad Bars is lost for the season, so that means defensive coordinator John Butler will have to turn to some more inexperienced players to back up those three. Evan Schwan is at the top of the list after redshirting last season, and true freshman Garrett Sickels could also compete for immediate playing time. Sickels was the top defensive recruit of the 2013 class and is already more physically imposing than Schwan.
What to expect: These defensive ends should have no problems with the pass rush. DL coach Larry Johnson has routinely put together lines that finish in the Top 25 in sacks, and both ends are quick, athletic players. Barnes was named Big Ten freshman of the year, and Olaniyan will bat down his fair share of passes this season.
PSU finished 15th in the nation in sacks (34) in 2012, and that number should be pretty similar this season. Barnes should even increase his numbers a bit. That being said, the pass rush is clearly the ends' forte here. Barnes worked on developing his run-stopping skills this offseason because he admitted that was one part of his game that needs to get better.
Last season, the ends struggled at times with keeping runs to the outside bottled up. Still, PSU's run defense wasn't a consistent issue last year -- and it shouldn't be a big one for the ends this year. Run defense just doesn't appear to be as big of a strength as the pass rush.
Recruiting trail: Penn State brought in two defensive ends -- Sickels and Curtis Cothran -- in the 2013 class, so it's not expected to take any in this 2014 class. The 2015 class, however, is another story.
Darius Fullwood (Olney, Md./Good Counsel) impressed the staff during a June camp and already has a PSU offer next to his name. O'Brien spoke to the defensive end on June 8 and already told him the staff could foresee him playing early at PSU. He's No. 225 on the ESPN Junior 300, and he'll be one player the staff keeps a close eye on.
Best-case scenario: Barnes posts Aaron Maybin-like numbers and gains national recognition after a strong rookie debut, while Olaniyan proves he's slightly better than the Massaro-Stanley combination from a year ago.
Worst-case scenario: Injuries plague the line, and Schwan or Sickels are forced to see more action than they usually would. The rush defense becomes the biggest issue of the front seven, and that throws the entire defense off kilter.
Top position question: How good can Barnes be? Well, after just one season, it's pretty clear Barnes has a future in the NFL. He's one of the top overall players on this team, and it's scary to think he has three seasons left.
His parents said, prior to last season, he aimed for 13 sacks. "And when he didn't get that, he was disappointed," his mother said. And reaching double-digit sacks this season is a possibility.
But let's get right to the heart of the question. Barnes has the ability to go down as one of PSU's best pass-rushers of the 2000s. And, if he does reach 10 sacks this season, the record-breaking chatter will undoubtedly start. Courtney Brown holds the school record with 33 sacks; Barnes will need to average nine sacks over the next three seasons -- if he doesn't declare early for the NFL draft -- to tie that record. It's possible.
After all, by Barnes' count, he should've had 10 sacks last year anyway. Regardless of the numbers he winds up with, he's arguably the top pass-rusher in the conference already. And he'll only get better.
Mailbag: DE Bars, run-ons & scheduling
Jim Murphy writes: How will Brad Bars' injury impact depth for the Lions this season? Was he poised for significant playing time?
Josh Moyer: He had high expectations back in February. I last talked to a smiling Bars during Thon weekend, when he volunteered to show host families around the football building. He said this at the time: "I feel like this is the season I'm going to take my game to another level. My expectations have risen a lot. ... I expect to be a key player on the team this year."
5 Questions: DT Parker Cothren
This week's subject is incoming freshman DT Parker Cothren, who'll arrive on campus today. He'll be driving from Hazel Green, Ala., and he remained committed to PSU despite late offers from the likes of Auburn, Tennessee and Vanderbilt. He'll be roommates with defensive end Garrett Sickels.

Follow the live blog after the jump.
Overview of Penn State's Class of 2013
From top players to sleepers, misses and everything in-between, there's a lot going on in this class:
Who they got: Penn State looks as if it will sign 17 players this class, including the five who have already enrolled. The headliners are ESPN's No. 1 QB in Christian Hackenberg and No. 1 TE in Adam Breneman, who have helped bring the same kind of excitement to this class as Derrick Williams and Justin King in 2005. Penn State turned in a quality offensive group, with four-star prospects also at offensive guard (Brendan Mahon), offensive tackle (Andrew Nelson) and wideout (DaeSean Hamilton).

- QB Christian Hackenberg, Fork Union, Va./Fork Union, four stars, No. 15 in ESPN 150: "You know, I just got this gut feeling that it was home for me. Everything fell in line for me moreso than the other schools. I liked a lot of other schools, but I loved Penn State."

Committed: March 4, 2012.

Signing day primer: Penn State
Team needs: Defensive coordinator John Butler made it clear he wasn't happy with the secondary's depth last season. At cornerback, untested true freshman Da'Quan Davis was the backup, and the safeties opened the year as the team's weakness.
That's not the only concern. With Matt McGloin's departure, Steven Bench is now the most experienced quarterback on the team. And he threw just eight passes last season. Linebacker is also a position that could use a few extra bodies, especially with Michael Mauti and Gerald Hodges making a run at the NFL.
