- Mike Bianchi of the Orlando Sentinel: "There is a theory being perpetrated by ESPN's Skip Bayless that the Van Gundy brothers are simply trying to heap undue pressure on the Heat. If it were any other coach but Stan Van Gundy, I might buy it. StanVan Gundy, at least from my experience, calls them as he sees them, much like his brother Jeff Van Gundy does as an analyst. The fact is, the Heat have put together a virtual Dream Team of talent. Of course, nobody knows how all of these gifted players will mesh together, and the Heat still have to go out and prove they can win a championship. But, on paper, they are the best team ever assembled in the modern-day NBA."
- Josh Cohen of OrlandoMagic.com cautions fans to be wary of trade rumors.
- Kurt Helin of ProBasketballTalk: "Can you consistently knock down free throws? If so, you stand a good chance of beating Dwight Howard in H-O-R-S-E. And if you have the money, you can get to play him. Howard is auctioning off the chance to play H-O-R-S-E against him to raise money for Usher's New Look Foundation. That organization trains youth to be the leaders of tomorrow, and in doing so increases their chances of graduating from high school and going on to college. It's a good cause, a good place to put your money."
- Want to know a team that does an excellent job of defending pick and rolls? Sebastian Pruiti of NBA Playbook says it's the Orlando Magic: "Orlando is one of the best teams against the pick and roll, and in my opinion they are the best at hedging screens. This is because they have bigs in Dwight Howard and Rashard Lewis who can show and get back to their man quickly. The goal of hedging is to force the defender to either pick up his dribble or turn towards the middle of the court. Doing this prevents the ball handler to get the rim and makes a pass harder."
- Kelly Dwyer of Ball Don't Lie ranks Vince Carter as the 23rd-best shooting guard in the NBA right now: "Yes, I had him sixth last season. Why? Ask any Nets fan who watched him in 2008-09: Carter was a borderline All-Star that season. Not last season, where he floated and occasionally helped and absolutely disappeared in the playoffs. Carter has an all-around game, he can still rebound and make the pass while working a screen-and-roll, and he's still a threat to shoot his way toward 37 points every so often. But he just never applied himself when the going got tough. Pity."
- In the same rankings, J.J. Redick is pegged at 17th. Go figure.
- Trey Kerby of Ball Don't Lie: "I don't know what's gotten in to the Van Gundy family, but they seem to be suffering from an acute case of Heat stroke. Miami Heat pun zing, for sure. First, Jeff spouted off about Miami breaking every conceivable team record in the history of the NBA, which is to be expected because he's paid to have opinions. Now, his brother Stan, the Orlando Magic coach — is refusing to take sides against the family and echoing Jeff's sentiments. Those crazy Van Gundys and their outlandish predictions. […] In actuality, Stan isn't totally crazy. I'm not entirely convinced that Dwyane Wade is better than Scottie Pippen. Offensively Wade tops Scottie, no doubt. But when it comes to the other half of the game — defense — there was no better or more disruptive perimeter defender, ever, than Pippen. That's a big deal, and I'd be willing to offer a tie on that comparison. Furthermore, I will concede Toni Kukoc is not the equal of Chris Bosh, but Bosh's corollary should probably be Dennis Rodman who is better at rebounding and defense than Bosh, just as much as Bosh is a better offensive player. We can call that one a wash as well, or give a slight nod to the Heat if you're feeling generous."

Joe Cole is believed to have been told he can leave Liverpool, with reports suggesting he is having a medical at West Ham.
West Ham and QPR are reportedly interested in signing the 31-year-old - with reports on Wednesday saying he was undergoing a medical with the Hammers.
Cole was in the south of England on Wednesday evening - while Liverpool were hosting Sunderland - having been informed he can find a new club.
He would be available on a free transfer this month as Liverpool are prepared to cancel his contract.
The club would also pay him a negotiated settlement in order to get his estimated £100,000-a-week salary off the wage bill. That would then give them more freedom to look to the loan market for a short-term move in the current window.
Cole joined on a free transfer from Chelsea in the summer of 2010 but was sent off on his first appearance and things never really improved much for him.
He went to French club Lille on loan last season and did relatively well but returned to Merseyside in the summer insisting he was determined to prove himself to new manager Brendan Rodgers, having already out-lasted Roy Hodgson and Kenny Dalglish in his second spell at Anfield.
However, Rodgers has not started Cole in the Premier League this season and the player has been told he has no future at Anfield.

Every time I Twitter, which is more and more often these days, I think about what evolutionary psychologist Geoffrey Miller told the New York Times a few weeks ago about a different topic, the futility of consumerism. It seems like he should have been talking about Twitter:
"Evolution is good at getting us to avoid death, desperation and celibacy, but it's not that good at getting us to feel happy," he says, calling our desire to impress strangers a quirky evolutionary byproduct of a smaller social world.
"We evolved as social primates who hardly ever encountered strangers in prehistory," Dr. Miller says. "So we instinctively treat all strangers as if they're potential mates or friends or enemies. But your happiness and survival today don't depend on your relationships with strangers. It doesn't matter whether you get a nanosecond of deference from a shopkeeper or a stranger in an airport."
Since we don't have to worry about dying of starvation and most Twitterers are safely post-celibate, all we have to live for now is that nanosecond of deference from strangers, which is why so many folks take the measure of their prestige each morning — it is a simple number now — by counting the number of Twitter followers they won or lost.
Another way of saying this is that Twitter has turned us into a nation of Tila Tequilas, the woman who was first to get a million MySpace followers. Whatever fig-leaf of intimacy Facebook tried to protect for us non-Tequilas by securing our updates to a select group of friends has been traded in for a shot at small-time celebrity.
It's hard to say whether that will really make us happy. Redfin's Sasha Aickin somehow persuaded me to watch Tila Tequila's MTV reality show, a grotesque affront to human dignity that he now claims to have recommended in an ironic way; what made it hard to bear wasn't how silly everyone was being, but just how unhappy they all seemed vying for attention.
Would they be happier if they were competing in a real jungle for sex and food? Or is it better to fight for the attention of strangers?

Arsini. AKA, Arson-eye, burning your perception. May seem sinful to some. But you'll only know the truth when you listen and analyze for yourself. I like a variety of music. I'm known to be weird and kinda crazy. I've went from isolated to accepted yet isolated. I've been so closed off. It's coming out now. In my music. The more songs i make, the more of me you'll see, whether it be a direct lyric of my life or a story of a made up character. I have few friends, but music is my best one. It never lets me down. I confide in it. All of me is in my music if you look closely. Only been rapping for about 3 years. I think i'm near my perfect style. I want to be different. What you've never heard before that strings you along the path of my mind that's never been quite right.

Wynonna Judd's husband and drummer, Michael Scott "Cactus" Moser, got into a serious motorcycle accident on Saturday. The newlyweds went for a motorcycle ride together on separate bikes in Deadwood, S.D. before one of their shows. Judd avoided harm while Moser crashed into an oncoming vehicle and was immediately transported to a local hospital. People reports that Judd released a public statement expressing both her gratitude and hope. "The outpouring of prayer and support from friends, family and fans has been a blessing to both Cactus and I," she says. "Cactus is a champion. I love him deeply and I will not leave his side." Moser is currently being treated for serious, but non-life-threatening injuries and the duo has postponed their scheduled concerts in Canada.

Ode to Cash Flow
In my accounting course, the professor introduced an exceprt from a poem by Herbert S. Bailey, Jr. about cash flows. It went like this:
Though my bottom line is black, I am flat upon my back,
My cash flows out and customers pay slow.
The growth of my receivables is almost unbelievable:
The result is certain unremitting woe!
And I hear the banker utter an ominous low mutter,
"Watch cash flow."
He made it seem like it was supposed to be a song. But there was no music—it was more like a dramatic recitation.
It had been a while since I straight-up composed and produced a song, so I figured I would dust off the ol' multi-track, fire up the instruments, and write a tune to go with the words. Here it is; two versions for your listening (and viewing) pleasure: pop and symphonic.

Published 01 April 2009
Indonesians seem to love franchising international brands and the latest brand that our beloved city Jakarta has adopted is the Times Bookstores. Originally from Singapore, this bookstore chain has been established for more than 30 years. They recently expanded their business in Jakarta working together hand in hand with James Riady's Matahari Group, which is part of the Lippo Group. FRV homes in for a quick read and a quicker coffee.
Text by Erza S.T.
It was only a matter of time to have Times Bookstore open in Indonesia, especially after their expansion across Malaysia and Macau. In Indonesia, they offer more than 100,000 book titles with 30,000 books and magazines to meet all reader's diverse needs. They also provide gifts such as stationery, fine-writing exclusive, reading accessories and greeting cards. In the future they are planning to host activities that entertain, educate and inform, including book signings, book reviews. Also mini-workshops on various topics.
One of the Times Bookstores that caught our attention is actually their first one in the Lippo Karawaci area. Located alongside the famous Pelita Harapan University, this Times Bookstore really looks sleek and modern. Not only from the wall-to-ceiling glass walls, the modernity of the design can also be seen throughout their interior where they have built giant cocoons on the first floor. It is a unique experience to sneak into one of these cocoons with your favorite book and have a quiet read inside. With music from your i-Pod it is perfect!
This two-storey building is not only inhabited by books and magazines but also a comfy little café on the second floor managed by Imperial Cakery. Still carrying the same tone and style of the bookstore's interior, this café reminds me so much of Singapore. You will wish that you actually lived in Karawaci when you are there. Looking outside, you can actually see squirrels running on the trees just outside the building.
Right away I feel that this is the perfect place to end my Nabokov's Lolita. It is really a perfect set up that makes you just want to go into one of the corners and start reading. However, the squirrels were not the only thing that caught my attention, after seeing the delicacies that Imperial Cakery offers. If you enjoy reading accompanied by a cup of coffee, then you are in the right place. Using our own local beans from Toraja, called Makadoro, this café offers the standards from simple long blacks to lattes. They also have an impressive selection of food from salad to pasta.
It is interesting how Imperial Cakery understand good accompaniment of food and beverages while reading. Though presentation might not be their key strength, the taste is sublime! For example, their so-called "Cakery Club Sandwich" may not look all that great, but after one bite you will immediately change that perception. For sure this place has lots of potential. It has good food, friendly prices and a very cozy ambiance.
Times Bookstore itself continues to expand and recently added another two outlets in Pacific Place and Kemang Village. Of course, this is good news for those who want to experience Times Bookstores, though our love with the first one in Karawaci for its strong concept and nice ambiance is still irreplaceable.
The two new stores might be closer to me in distance, but they are smaller size and don't have that nice café inside. Hopefully, one of the upcoming outlets will adopt the similar concept as the first one. For that occasion, I have David Wroblewski's The Story of Edgar Sawtelle to finish.

Assuming the child is neurotypical, home environment is a huge factor in early language development. A child who grows up in a home where poor grammar and language are used will usually start school with poor language skills, meaning the teacher must overcome a tremendous deficit from the get-go.
My parents insisted I use correct grammar, even before I started to school. As a result, I started first grade with above grade level language and comprehension skills because I had been exposed to proper usage since I was born. It is a gift that has served me well my whole life and I am so grateful for it.

Recent Napa Reviews
Cozy and clean.
We had a great time and enjoyed the space. The home was clean and neat and the owner was very easy to work with. She went out of her way to ensure our stay was pleasant. The location was very close to downtown Napa making it convenient for dining and shopping. We chose to cook at home one night and felt the kitchen was fully stocked with everything we needed along with a very nice Weber grill outside. The living room furniture was not as shown in the pictures but there was more seating with the new furniture. Blinds or curtains were not on the living room windows and might have been good to have for privacy but the natural light was nice. Overall we were glad we booked the space instead of a hotel. It was a great place to land for a few days and we'd stay there again.
My wife and I celebrated our 5 year anniversary and didn't want to spend an arm and a leg on a place to stay. I'm glad we found this property! It's exactly what we were looking for and MORE! Nice clean welcoming driveway that's tastefully landscaped, the hosts came out to greet us and show us to our cottage. The cottage itself is cute and super cozy, but large enough so you don't feel cramped. Open up the french doors and you have a view of the garden, go out the other door and you have a view of the fire pit and pool. It was perfect to just sit on our porch, have a snack, a bottle of wine and a cigar.
We brought stuff to make s'mores, but after coming back to the cottage after a big dinner both nights, we were too full and tired to take advantage of this feature. Fire starter, lighter, fire wood, and sticks to roast marshmallows were readily available. The pool was clean, warm, and perfect to cool off and relax in. The gardens and the whole property was well maintained, beautiful and picture perfect. I would consider doing family or couple portraits here.
The hosts were awesome! Continued to let us know if we had any questions or issues, just let them know. They gave us figs from their garden, put fresh cut roses in our room, offered us a taste of their very first pinot noir that they've produced, and even invited us to a screening with some of their friends. When we were outside, either by the pool or just sitting on the porch, we really felt like we had the place to ourselves. Lots of privacy, really quiet with the occasional car passing by, and felt like we were in the middle of the woods, vineyards, garden with so many plants around. My wife said "this is my kind of camping"...obviously, not even close hahaha
All in all, we had an amazing time in Napa and at this property, didn't have any issues, and we loved how cozy and romantic this property was. Thank you to the hosts for making this available to us. We hope we'll be back again really soon!
Yes, the "withdrawals" from having to leave this serene, beautiful, magical cottage are huge. The owners, Spiro and Marie, are gracious hosts who see to your every need. And Spiro produces an incredible cabernet - OMG! And you can touch the grape vines while sitting on the deck watching the hot air balloons cover the sky early in the morning, or in the evening while sipping a glass of Spiro's wine (if you're lucky enough to get a bottle!) enjoying a sunset that I cannot begin to describe. The cottage has every amenity we wanted; it was obvious and appreciated how much thought and care the owners put into every detail…it was spotless, beautifully decorated, has a washer/dryer, well-equipped kitchen, gas grill on the deck, gas fireplace in the living room, and well appointed bathrooms. Favorite restaurants? All of them - Yountville is a mecca for the best. We spent the month of June at Bella Vista and have already rebooked for next fall - cannot wait to return and are counting the days.

Italian Couple Accused of Using Butter as Murder Weapon
While butter sometimes gets a bad rap for its effects on cardiovascular health, it isn't often that the creamy spread is accused of being an accessory to murder.
However, a stick of butter was allegedly the weapon of choice for a Sicilian couple looking to bump off the woman's ex-husband. The Italian paper Corriere della Sera reports that the lovers used the butter to suffocate Calogero Lo Cocco, 40, thinking that the dairy product would melt in the man's esophagus before his death was investigated. According to the AFP, the pair told the police that Lo Cocco arrived drunk at their house and attacked them. When they tied him up in self-defense, he unexpectedly collapsed and died.
However, when an autopsy was performed, remnants of the velvety substance were found in the man's airways, and the suspects were accused of murder. (via Food Section)

Are These 4 Solar Stocks Really In A Bubble?
CHRIS LAU, KAPITALL: When stocks rise at exponentially, their valuations could be stretched beyond a level justified by their future growth. SolarCity (SCTY) rose 153% in the quarter, while First Solar (FSLR) rose 47%. An analyst at Raymond James warned that a June, 2013 lockup expiration in shares of SolarCity could hurt its shares. Credit Suisse also downgraded shares, though the firm raised the target price from $22 to $28.
By comparison, Trina Solar (TSL) shares are flat in in the 1-year period:
When the shares are unlocked, the float will increase by between 8 and 10 times. This will alleviate the current short squeeze on shares. The dilution effect does not always happen. When the lockup expiration in Facebook (FB) ended, insiders at the company decided collectively to not sell shares, helping Facebook rise after the lockup period.
Fundamentally, investment interest in SolarCity is strong, which is in turn is helping the company get financing. On May 16, 2013, the company, with the help of Goldman Sachs, said it would offer more than $500 million in lease financing for both commercial and residential solar projects. This will cover 110 megawatts worth of projects. The deal raises confidence for investors that SolarCity may improve sales of panels in the United States. The loans work by letting homeowners pay for the panels monthly. It also helps owners claim a federal tax credit that is worth 30% of the value of the solar installation. Quarterly Sales Comparison Analysis The powerful rally in many solar energy plays may not follow on with a sell-off. When loans are readily available and there are tax credits to support sales, solar panel sales should be expected to rise. Companies like Trina Solar, however, may not benefit. Trina forecast first quarter shipment would be between 390-400 megawatts. The prior guidance was 420-430 megawatts. Even worse is that gross margins would be between 1% – 3%. By comparison, First Solar said during its earnings call that it aims to sustain gross margins of between 15% – 20% for its new projects. Despite weak margins for Trina, Trina is improving its balance sheet by reducing its net debt to equity. Better inventory management could also help the company return to profitability. SunPower (SPWR) is another company whose shares are up, but this is justified as its fundamentals are improving. The company expects revenue to be $2.5 billion – $2.6 billion, and earnings of between $0.60 – $0.80 per share. The guidance is far higher than the $2.55 billion revenue and $0.64 per share consensus estimates. Conclusion Solar stocks are not attractive at current prices, as the upside is mostly priced in for the rest of the year. Despite a risk of a short-term pullback, First Solar, SolarCity, and SunPower are not in a bubble. Fundamentals are improving, and the easy debt financing for customers will drive revenue growth for these companies. Trina Solar may continue to underperform, because it will take longer for the company to improve in profitability.Written by Chris Lau

Miami Dancer Bradley Dunlap's Best 2011 Moments: Girl Talk, New World, Mark Morris
Bradley Dunlap had a lot to look back on in 2011. As a dancer with the Miami City Ballet, life was pretty good. From performing in Miami in George Balanchine's Western Symphony, based on traditions and music of the wild west, to revising the dance for a Parisian audience this summer, and then seeing it aired on television for a PBS special of Great Performances in September, Dunlap has been part of an extraordinary year. A company that was considered a very good regional one leaped into the national and international spotlight seemingly overnight. MCB was founded by Edward Villella, a star with the New York City Ballet under Balanchine, who after he retired as a dancer brought his own vision and versions of Balanchine to Miami in 1986. This year he announced his retirement, signaling a new era for MCB and its dancers, including Dunlap, who is currently dancing The Nutcracker across South Florida.
He's been able to witness a cultural flowering around him, not just in dance, as Miami itself also appears to be entering a new era. In 2011, Dunlap left the studio and stage to take in these highlights:

How Are We to Keep the Sabbath in Today's Society?
from R.C. Sproul Apr 26, 2009 Category: Articles
Within the Christian church there are three leading options for answering your question. Some Christians believe that the Sabbath was an Old Testament ordinance and has no application to the New Testament church. No less a giant than Saint Augustine took the position that the Sabbath was not carried over into the New Testament community and therefore has been fulfilled and was done away with through the work of Christ. There are Christians who feel that there is no particular significance to Sabbath keeping today, although they make up a very small minority. Keep Reading -
Top 5 Commentaries on the Book of James

There are a number of helpful commentaries on the Book of James, and the following are five of the best. Keep Reading -
A 'Great' Leader
from Gene Edward Veith Apr 24, 2009 Category: Articles
These days it's easy to become cynical about politicians, government officials, and other national leaders. Governing a country takes hard-nosed, practical realism.

Yet, consider the example of a ninth-century king named Alfred the Great. Keep Reading -
Beauty and the Best
from R.C. Sproul Jr. Apr 23, 2009 Category: Articles
There is a tension among the people of God that reflects a delicate balance to which the Bible calls us. Paul, you will recall, argued that in his passion for the gospel, he wished to be all things to all people, that by all means some might be saved (1 Cor. 9:22). On the other hand, Jesus tells the disciples that when they brought the good news and were not received, they were to wipe the dust off of their feet as they left the town (Luke 9:5). They're both legitimate perspectives on the lost. Where, we wonder, does earnestly contending for lost souls end and pandering to the lost begin? Keep Reading -
Escaping Anonymity
from Tim Challies Apr 22, 2009 Category: Articles
Admiral Lord Nelson once remarked that "every sailor is a bachelor when beyond Gibraltar." This was a statement about anonymity, a rare concept even just a few short generations ago. Nelson knew that once his sailors moved beyond the bounds of the British Empire, beyond society's systems of morality and accountability, they underwent a transformation. Every man became a bachelor and sought only and always his own pleasure. Those who have read biographies of John Newton will see there a vivid portrayal of a man who was a gentleman at home but who was vulgar and abusive while away. Given only a measure of anonymity he became a whole new man. Keep Reading -

Squamous Cell Carcinoma (SCC) is becoming much more common in companion dogs nowadays and seems to be catching up rapidly with the incidence in both humans and horses if the referrals to our practice are a good indication.
Although the causes are open to debate in alternative and orthodox veterinary circles, the generalised breakdown of metabolic and immune systems and the bodily processes involved in cell health maintenance are seen to underlie the development of all these cancers in general terms.
Dogs systems are called upon to digest far too much processed food since the advent of commercial dog feed in the 1950's. Also, their eating patterns have been subverted by over feeding so as to deny the long periods of fasting which they experienced in nature and which allowed their metabolism to clear toxins. In addition the domesticated dog is almost never allowed to bury and retrieve a bone and many never have raw meat in their diet at all. This change in diet and feeding practice after almost 5000 years living with humans can be seen as sudden and detrimental to canine health.
Squamous Cell Cancer could therefore be seen as an end result of a systemic and prolonged assault on blood and the immune system in general which may never have appeared without late 20th century domestication practices.
McDowell's Herbal dispensary staff prepares a specific Squamous Cell Carcinoma Support Mix, which includes concentrated extracts of; Bladderack, Comfrey, Rue, Hypericum, Nettle, Rosehips and Violet Leaves along the Bach Flower Remedies; Oak, Olive, Pine, Water Violet, Walnut, Rescue Remedy and Wild Oat.
This Squamous Cell Carcinoma Support Mix, is given in conjunction with a powerful antioxidant extract derived from the bark of the Maritime Pine Tree, (Maritime Pine Bark Extract). Together the two support mixes have the potential to slow the growth of the cancer and boost overall health. In addition they can assist in healing localized irritation and inflammation which may have resulted from the cancer.
McDowell's Herbal Squamous Cell Carcinoma Support Mix can be used in conjunction with other alternative medicines or with orthodox medical treatments such as surgery, radiation and chemotherapy.
The important distinction between our Herbal approach and that of traditional medicine is that; here we are aiming to boost the robust health maintenance and disease fighting systems already at work in every dog, not just remove or kill cancerous cells – hoping they don't return.
We expect noticeable change and reduced symptoms in the first four to six weeks of having your dog on our Herbal program and ask that you submit regular reports to your McDowell's Herbal, clinical Consultant.
We are open Monday to Friday 9 am to 5 pm. AEST. You can also contact us by phone or email.
Telephone: 02 6331 3937 - +61 2 6331 3937
McDowell's staff Herbalists can not diagnose your disease or illness. What they can do is offer a herbal program to assist with healing, after you have had advice from your doctor or specialist. If you have unexplained pain or symptoms, seek medical advice.

Diet also matters to much when getting rid of acne scars. If your skin isn't getting all the nutrients it needs, then it is going to have a really hard time healing itself no matter how many acne scar creams and tonics you put on it.
So make sure that you are drinking enough water -- eight glasses a day *or more* -- and eat collagen rich foods like grapes and oranges. Soy products are great for this too. You'll see a huge difference if you do this consistently along with your normal skincare regimen.

text: To say the very least, the Health Sciences Undergraduate Degree has prepared me for nearly every aspect of the Physical Therapy Graduate Program. Specifically, working in healthcare teams, patient and human relations, and health literacy and culture have held the most impact this semester. Please do not misinterpret the previous sentence to say that those are the ONLY classes that have held their weight in the Graduate Program. There is not one single class that has not helped prepare me for becoming a Physical Therapist and working in the healthcare field. Since the first day of classes, knowledge attained with the undergraduate degree has been re-stated and solidified. It is noticeable when this information is first heard by other students without a B.S. in Health Sciences. Moreover, it is reassuring that our fundamentals have been set prior to graduate school with the Health Sciences Undergraduate Degree to maximize patient ethical considerations and patient-centered care. The Physical Therapy Graduate Program is very difficult; the Health Sciences Undergraduate Degree has decreased the amount of newly attained information and made the program more manageable.

Parent of alleged victim speaks out
The mother of one of the eight boys alleged to have been sexually assaulted by a former Penn State assistant football coach praised her son for his courage and concern for the other alleged victims and said the university could have prevented the abuse.
The coach, Jerry Sandusky, faces child sexual abuse charges, and Penn State athletic director Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, the school's senior vice president for business and finance, were arraigned Monday on charges they lied to a grand jury and failed to properly report the abuse.
More on Penn State Scandal
Michael Weinreb grew up in the shadow of Penn State and says the place he is from will never be the same. Story
Joe Paterno and Penn State officials were faced with a critical choice about damning information and chose to protect the program. This is what power has become. This is what power has always been, writes ESPN.com's Howard Bryant. Story
The Penn State community is angered and hurt by allegations of sexual abuse of children -- and stunned that coaches and officials failed to report it, writes ESPN.com's Dana O'Neil. Story
There's a question hanging over the Penn State football program: What did Joe Paterno know about allegations of sexual abuse against Jerry Sandusky and when did he know it? There are no good answers, writes ESPN.com's Jeff MacGregor. Story
• Recruits standing by commitments
"I'm very proud of him," the mother, in an interview with the Patriot-News of Harrisburg, Pa., said of her son, who is now 24.
"He's a brave kid," the woman told the newspaper. "And his major concern in the whole thing was for anybody else. That was his big thing. He said, 'I just don't want this to happen to anybody else.' "
Pennsylvania Attorney General Linda Kelly on Monday specifically asked that a child, reportedly assaulted by Sandusky in view of a graduate student in 2002, contact detectives about the alleged incident. Kelly said Penn State officials never made any attempt to identify the child that the grad assistant saw in the showers with Sandusky.
Kelly also said the Nittany Lions' longtime football coach, Joe Paterno, is not a target of the investigation into how the school handled the accusations. Paterno is scheduled to meet with reporters Tuesday afternoon.
Sandusky's attorney, Joe Amendola, said his client has been aware of the accusations for about three years and has maintained his innocence. Amendola has said that Sandusky attributes the allegations to troubled kids who are acting out.
"I'm so upset," the mother of the now-24-year-old alleged victim told the Harrisburg paper. "My son is extremely distraught, and now to see how we were betrayed, words cannot tell you."
Penn State president Graham Spanier thew his initial support behind Curley and Schultz. Late Sunday, after an emergency meeting of the board of trustees, Spanier announced that Curley and Schultz would be leaving their posts.
"To see that Graham Spanier is putting his unconditional support behind Curley and Shultz when he should be putting his support behind the victims, it just makes them victims all over again," the mother told the Patriot News.
The newspaper ran a front-page editorial calling for Spanier to step aside, or have the board of trustees push him out, and calling for the 84-year-old Paterno to make this his last season.
"His contract should not be extended," the paper wrote. "This is not about age. This is not about rebuilding a football team." Later, the paper said: "Paterno should be allowed to finish out the year and retire with the honor and admiration he has earned since taking over as head coach in 1966. It might always be honor with an asterisk, admiration with a shake of the head. Joe will have to live with that."
The front page of the Philadelphia Daily News is a photo of Paterno with a one-word headline: Shame. The Philadelphia Inquirer, meanwhile, wrote that Paterno's "oft-discussed retirement would be timelier than ever -- even though leaving amid this scandal will provide a sad coda to an otherwise stellar career for the man who, until now, served as the reassuring public face of Penn State."
The Star-Ledger of Newark, N.J., on its editorial page, wrote: "This would be a sad and ignominious ending to Joe Paterno's legacy, but it must be just that -- an ending." The editorial concluded with: "Given the disgusting nature of these widespread allegations, the insidious connections to Penn State football and Paterno's lack of judgment when told, it's time for him to take his 409 victories and Hall of Fame bust and leave.

The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette wrote that "Penn State officials must answer for a culture that cowed so many people to look the other way rather than come to the aid of the boys involved."
The Penn State Alumni Association released a statement Tuesday outlining steps issued by the board of trustees designed to increase the safety and security of all school facilities.
"This is a deeply troubling time for Penn State and the Penn State Alumni Association," the statement read in part. The allegations ... have shaken the university community profoundly. The Alumni Association has received e-mails, social network postings, and calls from alumni expressing their deep concern regarding the charges -- and we share those concerns."

WADA hits out at UCI over Armstrong
The head of the World Anti-Doping Agency has launched an astonishing blast at the International Cycling Union (UCI) over its handling of the Lance Armstrong case.
WADA president John Fahey has accused the UCI of setting up a "useless" independent commission into the case, avoiding its responsibilities, blaming others, and missing a previous opportunity to deal with accusations of Armstrong's doping.
The row comes after the UCI refused to agree to a truth and reconciliation commission for cycling, which would have seen an amnesty where cyclists and officials could admit to doping without fear of disciplinary action.
It will put further pressure on the UCI's president Pat McQuaid and honorary president Hein Verbruggen, who have been in the firing line for the governing body's alleged failure to have tackled doping in the past.
The UCI said it would only agree to a truth and reconciliation process involving all sports, not just cycling, and criticised WADA for refusing to take part in the commission's probe.
Fahey said: "After careful review of the terms of reference and the commission's proposed work programme, WADA reached the conclusion that the UCI was not allowing the commission to conduct a proper and independent investigation.
"Therefore, WADA has decided not to take part and invest its limited resources into such a questionable and useless exercise.
"It has again become apparent that rather than deal with the obvious problems that exist within the sport of cycling, the UCI once again would like to avoid its responsibilities and instead seek to blame WADA and others.
"This is not the first time that the UCI has acted in this way. In 2005 when an opportunity arose to address an allegation of doping by Armstrong, the UCI commissioned a so-called independent report - the Vrijman Report - which totally failed to address the substance of the allegations against Armstrong.
"The shortcomings of the Vrijman Report were obvious at the time and more so today."
Fahey said cycling now had to confront its past and not deflect the blame.
He added: "It has become typical of the UCI to point fingers at others when yet another doping controversy hits the sport of cycling.
"There is no question that the system put into place by Armstrong and others was sophisticated, but the USADA decision raises many other questions that remain unanswered.
"For the UCI to say it knew nothing about the systemic doping in its sport and could do nothing more is precisely what the independent commission should be inquiring into, provided all the evidence is made available to it. WADA has no confidence that this will occur."
Fahey claimed the UCI's insistence on bringing in other sports was another attempt to deflect attention.
"WADA has already announced that it will not be taking part in the independent commission, and the UCI's failure to address the concerns raised by WADA and other invited parties is further proof of the commission's lack of independence and limited terms of reference," said Fahey.
The 41-year-old Armstrong, who was stripped of his seven Tour de France title and banned for life after the United States Anti-Doping Agency found he had been at the heart of "the most sophisticated, professionalised and successful doping programme that sport has ever seen", admitted in an interview broadcast overnight he had taken performance-enhancing drugs throughout the majority of his career.

Introducing Pair Programming at Cinci Day Of Agile
Last weekend I presented at the Cincinnati Day of Agile event on Introducing Pair Programming (see on slideshare). The event was nearly sold out with about 240 people in attendance, a mix of devs and PMs. The content and (other) speakers I thought were great – Phil and his team did a great job. I took a few pictures during the event, which you can see below: Phil and Joel Semeniuk Brian Prince James Bender Jim Holmes The event went very well, logistically, and the content was an interesting mix of topics. It was interesting to me viewing agile practices through the lens of project managers, versus developers. It was also interesting to hear … more

Best Washing Machines Video
The average American home does about 8 loads of laundry a week. Good Housekeeping Research Institute evaluated 20 new models to find some great, energy-efficient machines. Find out the winners in this Good Housekeeping report.
Good Housekeeping Research Institute home care director Carolyn Forte says mustard, lipstick, and other stains were used to test how well washers clean.

We evaluated 20 models of the newest front and top-loading washes to see how well they cleaned, how gentle they are, how much they cost to run per year, how easy they are to use, and how much water they take out of the clothes.

One standout is this feature-packed machine from Samsung.

This Samsung washer has intuitive controls, it aced our vibration test, its stain away cycle blew us away, and its sanitizing cycle is certified to kill 99.9% of bacteria. For great stain removal without cleaning out your wallet, consider the higher. It's the only front loader we tested that totally zapped ink. If you want a traditional top loader, this Whirlpool senses the load size so it wastes less water. It also cleans comforters and is gentler on clothes than some front loaders we tested.

Check out all the winning washers in the latest edition of Good Housekeeping. I'm Jacqueline Boulden.

Texas Highways list of top 40 Destinations: SPI is #19
Check out this article! Texas Highways has included us on their list of top 40 destinations! Here is a sample:
"But theres no substitute for a visit to the lanky barrier island, with attractions both urban and pristine. South Padre Island is a hotbed of beach culture with lodging, dining, nightlife, and watersports."
Meet Your Hosts
"Welcome to our island, a great place to stay and play!"
For more than 17 years, Tom and Stacie Brooks have been enjoying a wonderful ride with Kampgrounds of America and all that the organization has to offer.These high school sweethearts from north Georgia began their careers in the outdoor hospitality industry entertaining vacationers on cruise ships. They tried "real life" (computer jobs, etc.) briefly, but knew they wanted to continue working together in the business of fun. "We saw an ad in the Orlando paper about manager trainee opportunities at KOA, and the rest is history!" says Stacie.
Tom and Stacie have been on the move managing KOA Kampgrounds from the Pacific to the Atlantic and from New England to the Florida Keys, with a few stops in between. The Brooks' currently manage South Padre Island KOA, and they excel as campground hosts. "We remember that first and foremost the camper is here to have fun," says Tom. "We do whatever we can to ease their worries and provide relaxation and enjoyment."
Campers notice the efforts of Tom, Stacie and their staff. A recent comment card read, "We wanted to let you know what a fine job this park and the staff do for us. We are here for our third winter because of the cleanliness of the facilities, the many kindnesses of the staff, and the great activities."
When not putting their time and energy into the campground, Tom and Stacie love to travel and have visited more than 50 countries. Tom also likes to play the guitar and harmonica, while Stacie is a ventriloquist, enjoys Zumba, and is a TIVO Master.

If you've done a fair amount of traveling, you probably have your standard list of things to take, modifying it as needed depending on your method of travel or destination. Now that there are fees for checking bags, an efficient packing system is a must, too. I admit to going to great lengths to pare down my wardrobe to get everything into a carry-on bag. Sandra Brown, AARP.org's "travel ambassador" has a list of her own travel essentials. I doubt you've thought of some of the must-have items on her list.
- Earplugs – Not an unusual item, especially for air travel, but Brown suggests you leave the expensive sets at home – hers were stolen.
- Eye mask – Personally, I'd be too self-conscious to don an eye mask – it's a bit too "Hollywood Actress" glamor for me. But if you need total darkness to sleep, it's a helpful tool. Brown cautions to get one that's loose enough to avoid tell-tale mask imprints on your face.
- Melatonin – An over-the-counter sleep aid which is a natural hormone we have in our bodies, melatonin is helpful particularly for seniors who have difficulty sleeping, even at home. Be sure to ask your doctor if it's safe for you to take.
- Comfortable socks – If you're on a long plane ride or a passenger on a road trip, slip off your shoes and put on some comfy thick socks. Athletic socks with padded soles work well as do "slipper feet" socks.
- Peanut butter – You may have to put your jar of peanut butter into a checked bag, but at least you'll have it for the hotel room. Brown advises many countries don't have our ubiquitous peanut butter supply and it's great for late arrivals when restaurants are closed. It will keep you out of the hotel's expensive mini-bar, too.
- A gift – We often take a hostess gift when visiting someone, but Brown suggests having several small gifts in case you want to thank someone. She suggests a T-shirt, something from an airport gift shop or regional candy. You'll want to keep the size and weight in mind.

MWC: Intel details Atom x3, x5 and x7 chips for smartphones and tablets
Dell has made available a version of its Latitude 10 professional tablet device aimed specifically at SMEs, dubbed the Essentials Configuration, which is priced to make the system more affordable.
The Latitude 10 Essentials Configuration is available in the 64GB configuration today at £430, while the 32GB version will be available in the coming months at £391, Dell said.
This is lower than the standard price for the device which is set at £531 on Dell's website.
The Latitude 10 Essentials Configuration offers modest specifications to keep the price down, a Dell spokesperson told V3.
Comparing web pages for the different version seems to show the device announced today lacks a swappable battery and support for an optional wacom stylus input.
The device, first unveiled last September in the run-up to Microsoft's Windows 8 launch, is a 10.1in slate-mode device based on Intel's Clover Trail Atom platform and weighing in at just 725g.
Configured with a 32GB or 64GB SSD and Gorilla Glass display, the Latitude 10 offers a "secure, manageable and durable enterprise-ready tablet option", according to Dell, and the firm believes it can make the device appeal to SMBs through this new package.
"Dell's heritage is rooted in meeting the needs of our customers with cost effective, tailored solutions that empower them to reach their potential be it in the office, classroom or hospital," said Neil Hand, Dell vice president for end user computing products.
Because it runs Windows 8, the device offers customers a touch-centric device but does not require newer management tools or software licensing than existing PCs, and supports both new and legacy Windows applications.
Daniel Robinson is technology editor at V3, and has been working as a technology journalist for over two decades. Dan has served on a number of publications including PC Direct and enterprise news publication IT Week. Areas of coverage include desktops, laptops, smartphones, enterprise mobility, storage, networks, servers, microprocessors, virtualisation and cloud computing.

In addition to the whole diet and exercise thing, I've been cooking more frequently, partly because of schedule and partly because I like to know what I'm eating and how to make it better than the standard recipe.
One of my favorite recipes that I have attempted several times, succeeding only once, has been Robert Irvine's Three Cheese Hasselback Potatoes. The chief feature of these potatoes is that they are sliced partway through the potato so that the potato holds together on one side and fans out on the other side, letting someone fill the cracks with cheese or some other filling.
The first time I failed, it was because he neglected to mention in his foodnetwork.com recipe that he parboiled the potatoes after slicing them and before roasting them. When he demonstrates the recipe with Paula Deen, he mentions the parboiling.
We had some good steaks tonight, so I wanted to make the potatoes again as a classy side. I failed this time because I over-boiled the potatoes. The side that was supposed to hold together didn't hold at all.
The logical thing would have been to mash the potatoes, since the potatoes were that consistency to where all I needed to do was add milk and butter. We had mashed potatoes last night, and I worked hard enough putting the slices in those potatoes, so I had another thought.
The potatoes had fallen apart into slices, so I took the slices, drizzled them with olive oil, salt, and pepper, and broiled them to crisp them up. They ended up yet being a great side to those nice steaks. The Mrs. said I didn't make enough. I'll try to fail harder next time.
