To The Editor:
While Anthony Pollina appears to be making a strong showing for governor around the state, it is really important for those of us who truly want to defeat Jim Douglas to vote for Gaye Symington to bring about the jobs and positive changes that are being spearheaded nationally by Barack Obama.
Symington has a proven track record on health care, the environment, energy and education as speaker of the House of Representatives, and has only been stymied by Governor Douglas' veto, or threat of a veto, on so many important issues.
Our economy is in the pits, thanks to Governor Douglas; and Anthony Pollina, while a great advocate/organizer on the outside, has no governmental or real administrative experience to carry out his ideas. Vote Symington and Obama for real change in Vermont and our nation so that splitting the liberal vote will not give us Douglas for yet another term. Vermonters, too, are ready for a real change at the top!

This story has been reproduced from today's media. It does not necessarily represent the position of Liverpool Football Club.
Liverpool have not given up on signing Sevilla left-back Alberto Moreno but are unlikely to meet the current asking price of £20m.
Reds boss Brendan Rodgers has made Moreno one of his top summer targets but has been frustrated in his attempts to land the defender so far with the Spanish club turning down the club's £16m offer.
Recent reports have claimed Tottenham are interested but while Liverpool have not yet given up hope of landing the Spain international they are ready to turn to other targets soon if they are unable to negotiate a deal with Sevilla.
Chelsea's Ryan Bertrand is under consideration, while Sporting Lisbon's Argentina international Marcos Rojo and Ricardo Rodriguez, the Switzerland left back who plays in Germany for Wolfsburg, is another who has been mentioned.
Rodgers is keen to strengthen at left-back as John Flanagan was deployed there in the second half of the season even though he is a natural right-back, while Jose Enrique spent much of last term on the sidelines injured.

Cybersecurity Bill Passed in U.S. House on 248-168 Vote
April 26 (Bloomberg) -- The U.S. House of Representatives approved a Republican-backed cybersecurity bill, a day after President Barack Obama's administration called the measure flawed and threatened a veto.
The bill, the Cyber Intelligence Sharing and Protection Act, passed the House today by a vote of 248 to 168. The measure, introduced by Representative Mike Rogers, a Michigan Republican who heads the House Intelligence Committee, would encourage the government and companies to share data on cyber threats and give businesses legal immunity for such exchanges.
House Speaker John Boehner told reporters before the vote the bill is the first of "common-sense steps to allow people to communicate with each other" to "build the walls that are necessary in order to prevent cyberterrorism."
Lawmakers are debating cybersecurity legislation following computer assaults on companies last year including New York-based Citigroup Inc., the third-largest U.S. bank by assets, and Bethesda, Maryland-based Lockheed Martin Corp., the world's largest defense company. The attacks intensified concerns over theft of U.S. intellectual property by cyber spies and potential disruption of essential networks by hackers.
Boehner, an Ohio Republican, brushed aside the Obama administration's veto threat, saying "the White House believes the government ought to control the Internet" by letting government alone set security standards.
'Horrible Bill'
The Obama administration said in a statement yesterday it "strongly opposes" the House bill in its current form, adding that the measure falls short in protecting the nation's critical systems from cyber attacks and would erode consumer-privacy safeguards. Civil liberties groups have protested the legislation, saying it would let too much personal data flow to the government without limits on use.
"As we've seen repeatedly, once the government gets expansive national security authorities, there's no going back," Michelle Richardson, legislative counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union, said in an e-mailed statement. "We encourage the Senate to let this horrible bill fade into obscurity," Richardson said.
The White House supports a bill from Senator Joseph Lieberman, a Connecticut Independent, that would put the Department of Homeland Security in charge of regulating cybersecurity of the nation's vital systems such as power grids and water-treatment plants. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, a Nevada Democrat, has pledged to bring the Lieberman bill to the Senate floor without giving a date.
The Rogers bill is H.R. 3523. The Lieberman bill is S. 2105.

By Army Staff Sgt. Jim GreenhillSpecial to American Forces Press Service
ARLINGTON, Va., July 2, 2008 A new relationship with IndyCar promises to propel National Guard recruiting forward and give citizen-soldiers and –airmen a more personal interest in another sport.
The new 230-mph, No. 4 National Guard IndyCar was unveiled at the Army National Guard Readiness Center at Arlington Hall here last week.
"We've been involved with NASCAR for a number of years," said Maj. Gen. Ray Carpenter, special assistant to the director of the Army National Guard. "This is the next step in racing for us. It's a great, great opportunity for us to showcase our National Guard capability in a different forum. It's a great, great step forward.
"The benefit for us is that it provides another venue for us to tell the National Guard story and reach out to a target population."
Driven by Vitor Meira for Panther Racing team owner John Barnes, the Dallara IR car has a 3.5-liter Honda Indy V-8 engine and runs on ethanol.
Meira said a visit to wounded Guard members at Brooke Army Medical Center, in San Antonio, was the moment he truly understood what the National Guard stands for.
"I'm gaining so much from every soldier I meet," he said. "It's something very different than other sponsors. We pass the message on -- a message of honor, a message to be proud and stand for the great things this country stands for. I'm really honored to drive the National Guard car. The soldiers influence me. If I drove as good as they perform their duty every day, I would be in the winner's circle every time."
Meira sees common ground between the training he must do and the training soldiers do. "Training is everything in life," he said. "Soldiers and the Guard are a statement of that. The amount that they train and how well they perform their duty is a statement that training is everything."
Adrenaline and the spirit of competition are among Meira's driving forces. "It's my way of life," he said. "It's not work. It's something I was doing as a kid – something I would pay to do and now get paid to do."
The National Guard was the car's primary sponsor at Richmond International Raceway on June 28 and is also scheduled to be on July 6 at Watkins Glen International in New York, on Aug. 9 at the Kentucky Speedway and on Sept. 7 at the Chicagoland Speedway.
Panther Racing hosts up to 200 Guard members at each race. Owner John Barnes is in his 42nd year of racing, and he said he's come full circle: The racing driver who was his father's best friend and best man and who inspired Barnes to enter the world of the track himself was a National Guardsman.
"Now to have the National Guard support my team is unbelievable," he said, "something I never dreamed of."
Sometimes race car drivers are called heroes, Barnes said.
"The true heroes work in this building, and they work at the Guard units across the country, whether it's taking care of floods or tornadoes or whatever," Barnes said. "Every day, 17 governors call the Guard to activate them for something or other, and to know that we have that support as American citizens is just incredible. It's the framework of our country, and it's an honor to be a part of that."
Barnes's car has 18 races scheduled in the 2008 IndyCar series, including appearances in Australia, Canada and Japan.
"Initiatives like this have contributed to the Army National Guard going from 330,000 end strength in June of 2005 to 358,000-plus today," Carpenter said. "There's not been any single silver bullet here. It's taken a collection of NASCAR racing, of what we're doing here with Indy racing and all of the rest of the things we've got out there -- the Guard Recruiting Assistance Program [and] Active First -- have all come together and made this happen."

Sophomore Dannielle Meder (Chicopee, Mass.) qualified for the finals in the 60-meter hurdles with a time of 9.05 seconds. She bested her own time in the finals, crossing the line in 9.00 seconds. She took third place in the event and earned six points for Holy Cross.
Junior Amanda Dupuis (East Sandwich, Mass.) found herself in a four-way tie for fifth in the high jump, clearing 1.55 meters. Competitors from Lafatette, Lehigh and Navy all reached the same height. Dupuis gained .75 points for the Crusaders.
Bautista, in addition to breaking the school record, finished second in the pole vault and took home two points. In the weight throw, freshman Rachel Amaral (Raynham, Mass.) threw a distance of 14.40m, placing fifth on the weekend. Her efforts earned two points.
In the relay events, each Holy Cross entry earned at least one point towards the Crusader total; the 4x400-meter relay team earned four points. In the 4x400 meter relay, Coutney, Pruszko, Meagher and sophomore Sophia Grammenos (Gardner, Mass.) teamed up to take fourth place in a time of 4:01.19.

Cook the Book: 'The Homemade Pantry'
hummus and fruit spread
hummus and fruit spread
Met a guy who grew up in North Carolina and LOVED barbecue. Married him. That pretty much sums it up.
Educate and involve children more in cooking, starting from when they are young. The return of Home Ec is a good idea. Field trips to farms, grocery stores, farmers markets etc., restaurants. If a roof top garden is possible, great, but there are other ways to give children that exposure that are easier to make happen. Change the standards and definitions for school lunches changed is important (what's a vegetable, fat and sugar targets, but it is a long battle.) Reduce access to sugared drinks and candy, chips, baked goods.
graham crackers and ice cream, chocolate syrup or both; add berries or bananas to either. bananas dipper in chocolate syrup; or smores (with toaster oven prepared marshmallows).
Challah bread or brioche french toast with maple syrup.
Too hard to choose: Fruit- Apple and pear are my regular go to. Perfectly ripe figs are amazing. Vegetable: And brussel sprouts and acorn squash.

I will be thrilled if I finally find the time to bake over the holidays- apple crisp and some Chanukah cookies. And I'd love to try today's rugelach recipe!
Mr. Softee is the childhood fave. The more grown-up part of me loves Taim for a meal and Coolhaus for sweets.
When my younger brother was little he was a very picky eater and very stubborn. He pretty much ate only the following: bagels with cream cheese, lemon yogurt, toasted american cheese sandwiches, cereal with no milk, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter sandwiches (no jelly) and hot dogs. And if it was prepared in a form that differed from how my mom made it, forget about it. When he was six, a baby sitter once cut his peanut butter sandwich diagonally into triangles instead of down the middle into rectangles and he refused to eat it. She told him he could not leave the table or have anything else until he ate it. My older brother and I left to go to an evening activity and when we came back 4 hours later, he was still in the exact same place at the table with the sandwich in front of him! When my mom called to check-in the baby sitter told them about the situation and she told the baby sitter to give up because my brother would never give in.
But most of us have some little pickiness or quirks about eating. I know that this will find little understanding, but I won't eat anything with more than a small amount of garlic unless the garlic is very well cooked. I'm not allergic, but raw garlic does seem to make me my stomach feel sickish for about 16-24 hours. So I just try to avoid it because I don't enjoy feeling that way. But I never ask anyone to prepare anything special or complain - I just find something else I can eat. It's my responsibility to manage it - not other people's.

A good rich cup of hot chocolate - the kind that turns into pudding if you put it in the refrigerator - with marshmallows.
Wood plank-baked salmon with roasted asparagus (in the spring) or with maple glazed brussel sprouts (in the winter).
We've purchased "Berry Hot" jam from one of the Greenmarket vendors - strawberry jalapeno I think. It's delicious and definitely a departure from typical combinations.
My husband is a true barbecue lover, having grown up in North Carolina. He no doubt has a pit master whose fare he is most looking forward to sampling at the event. I am a huge supporter of my husbands love of barbecue, but am myself a vegetarian who grew up in Minnesota. So I am looking forward to Jennifer Gibson's desserts!
Ooh! I forgot about the crayfish & rocket! That was the first thing I ever got at Pret - I popped in to see what the place was, saw that, and couldn't resist. I go pretty frequently still but have not seen that one in years. Try the Coco-Nut cookie, though. I love the Chocolate Chip, but I love the Coco-Nut even more...

My husband and I decided to take a last minute long weekend vacation in Paris. Our favorite part of travel is sampling the local food culture - especially desserts. Would love any Serious Eaters' advice on patisseries, restaurants, markets etc. we should make sure to try to visit.
(We leave this Thrusday so anywhere that requires reservations more than a week in advance is probably out....)

Best News Bloopers of August 2014 Will Restore Your Faith in Media
Local news stations: perhaps the country's greatest source of unintentional comedy.
Local news stations: perhaps the country's greatest source of unintentional comedy.
Yes, the news is supposed to inform, but we love it when it also entertains.
We love the fact that the news is shot live, not because we get real-time coverage, but because anything can happen. And sometimes, "anything" can be downright hilarious.
Adam Lefkoe is a sports anchor with WHAS in Louisville, Kentucky who decided to spice up an otherwise routine segment by peppering in as many 'Seinfeld' references as possible. Here's a report that's real...and it's spectacular.
Oh, poor Erin Andrews. The Fox sports personality was doing a report during this weekend's coverage of the NFL when she unknowingly became part of the creepiest video-bomb you can imagine. As if she doesn't have enough weirdos leering at her on a daily basis.
Australian 'Today' Anchor Karl Stefanovic didn't stand a chance against Grumpy Cat.
Omari Fleming may be a star reporter, but it's the "moon" behind him that's got people talking in this video.
So much for journalists being impartial.
Try as you may, you can't keep the world's oldest graffiti down. When you least expect it, it rears its ugly head. Here an ABC reporter giving details on roadwork "inadvertently" draws Ye Olde Cartoon Phallus on her screen
Busted! BBC weather reporter Wendy Hurrell thought the camera was off, when she rolled her eyes and flicked her hair in an annoyed manner. She thought wrong.
As you could maybe surmise from the "multiple f-bombs" in the headline, this video contains NSFW language.
An on-air weather personality in Canada had some trouble keeping her cool during a recent broadcast, thanks to an eight-legged intruder.
On Tuesday, an enraged mother in Providence, Rhode Island attacked a news crew when they showed up to interview her about the shooting of her daughter at a graduation party. As a result, she was charged with two counts of felony assault. So much for breaking the cycle of violence.
You might recognize a few of these faces from last week, when we showed the man on the right, Karl Stefanovic, pranking his co-anchor from Australia 'Today' on the air. He's back, and this time he's trying to eat the world's hottest pie.
The guy holding the rooster is a real chicken.

Earlier this month, Taylor Swift obtained a restraining order against a crazed stalker who's been harassing her since 2011. He's sent emails, letters, and social media posts calling her his "wife" and threatening to kill members of her family. It's a sad and unfortunate situation, and thankfully legal action has been taken, but these types of extreme circumstances are also pretty common amongst celebrities. For years, obsessed fans have been tracking down and bothering the famous. Read on for our breakdown of some of the scariest examples and watch Omar Epps recall his own experience with a crazed fan in the video below.
Omar Epps Reveals His Craziest Fan Experience

Kentucky's biggest fear became a frightening reality in Chapel Hill, N.C., on Saturday.
Forget the final score. Yes, Kentucky lost 75-73 in a class in the Dean Dome, but it wasn't the loss that hurt so much as it was the exposure UK may have suffered on the national stage.
Without much size and much depth in the paint, Kentucky has one very large weakness. No matter how talented and hard this team plays - and make no mistake about it, UK played valiantly in nearly winning Saturday - the interior shortcomings make this Kentucky team vulnerable to bigger teams.
North Carolina's bigs bullied the Cats' post players Saturday, outscoring UK 34-14 in the paint. Kentucky held its own on the boards, but when North Carolina wanted to go inside and score, it could at will.
Junior center Tyler Zeller finished with a career-high 27 points for the Tar Heels on 8-of-13 shooting while fellow forwards John Henson and Harrison Barnes combined for 25 points.
"Obviously, Tyler had a great game," said UK assistant coach Orland Antigua, who answered questions for head coach John Calipari as he took off early to catch a flight for his mother's memorial service. "We allowed him to get the ball too close to the rim. He got too easy shots. We tried to make it as difficult as possible with some schemes, some trapping and making those guys make some passes, which isn't their strong suit."
The reality of the situation is North Carolina really didn't utilize its frontcourt enough. Despite extreme UK foul trouble and a superior size advantage, Zeller didn't get as many touches as he should have. When he did, a player who has been associated more with potential than production suddenly looked like a future NBA lottery pick.
Down the stretch, all the Cats could do to stop him was foul, and Zeller made them pay by hitting 11-of-12 from the stripe. That's a potentially frightening notion moving forward when one considers some of the premier post players UK could face down the road.
"I'm stunned we were in the game at the end," Calipari said in a brief statement after the game. "For us to have a chance to win the game, I was happy. We were not fouling 44 (Zeller). 'Do not touch him.' We kind of broke down there a bit."
As long as Enes Kanter's eligibility status remains up in the air, Kentucky's lineup is what it is: talented, heavy with scoring guards, capable shooters and versatile, but light on low post scorers and depth.
The trio of Terrence Jones, Josh Harrellson and Eloy Vargas had been adequate and sometimes even formidable in the season's first six games, but there always existed the potential for foul trouble, injuries and an off night.
Two of the three weaknesses reared their ugly head against North Carolina. Jones, Kentucky's leading scorer, had his first subpar game, scoring a season-low nine points on a dismal 3-of-17 shooting effort. Against the length of UNC, Jones struggled to find any rhythm as he hesitated on shots, roamed on the perimeter and took the air out of the ball.
"I think Terrence initially came out a little timid," Antigua said. "I think the length might have surprised him but he got going a little bit. Today just wasn't one of his best. I think you can go back and use this as a teaching point for him and the rest of the guys on the team."
Jones didn't have much help, though. Harrellson, who has played extremely well of late, had trouble finding the floor Saturday. The senior forward picked up two quick fouls and never got out of foul trouble; neither did backup Vargas and neither did Jones.
All three fouled out. Imagine had the game gone into overtime. Who would UK have used on the frontline? Darius Miller? DeAndre Liggins? Stacey Poole? Kentucky doesn't have answers at the moment for its lack of depth.
"Getting into foul trouble hurt us a lot and handcuffed us," Antigua said. "Guys then become passive and not as aggressive as you'd like. We've got to learn how to play with fouls and get better at that."
Even when they were in, the trio of Jones, Harrellson and Vargas combined for 13 points on 4-of-21 shooting. North Carolina also blocked nine of Kentucky's shots.
It isn't that those players aren't capable or talented enough to get the job done for Kentucky; they just have the unenviable - and unfair - task of bringing their A game every night. If they don't, UK is going to lose a lot of games. Without much depth, there's no way to cover up for a number of things that could go wrong inside.
Jay Wright's Villanova teams have found success over the years using four-guard lineups and it could be a possibility for Calipari with UK's guard-heavy team, but that lack of size inside will always be a liability against marquee teams.
If Kentucky was to go small at some point, can Brandon Knight, Doron Lamb and Miller and Liggins score enough on the perimeter to offset the disadvantage inside? That's a question that may have to be answered sooner than some may think.
Lamb has proven that he's deserving of more playing time and even a starting spot. A freshman that's rightfully earned the title "Instant Offense," Lamb once again provided a spark off the bench.
The crafty right-hander scored 11 of UK's first 25 points with an impressive arsenal of moves (a floater off the glass, a steal and reverse layup in transition, and a knockdown 3-point shot). Lamb finished the game with a career-high 24 points and Kentucky hit nine treys to stay in the game, but ultimately North Carolina's edge inside was just enough to pull off a classic.
One loss may be too small of a sample size to come to a conclusion, but UNC stumbled upon a pretty good theory Saturday: If you want to be Kentucky, the answer may lie inside.
"We've got a lot of work to do," Calipari said. "I've got a young team. We didn't have leadership on the court. There were a lot of things that were happening, but we had a chance to win on the road at North Carolina in this environment, so that made me feel good."

On Kiwi Fruit
Kiwi fruit was originally known as a Chinese gooseberry until it's name was changed in the 1961's when the fruit was exported from New Zealand to the United States. (1) Kiwi fruits are a good source of vitamin C and fiber as well as the minerals potassium, magnesium, copper and phosphorous. (2)
We were recently visiting a family with four kids in Connecticut. These are one of Charlie's favorite fruit. (Pears is his other favorite.) I have never been able to get my four year old to try a kiwi, although they are a favorite of mine. But Charlie is ten and when he was raving about how delicious kiwi's were, the four and five year old's got curious. We even through in "They taste like sourpatch kids!"
Not everyone liked the kiwis, but everyone tried them and we ended up eating 11 kiwi fruits in less than 24 hours. Although they aren't local and in season, they really are delicious. I like kiwis to be firm and not mushy because I prefer kiwis that are tart--like sourpatch kids :).
One thing I love about visiting friends is how much I learn from other families. Everyone has their unhealthy habits. But everyone also has their healthy habits to share.

Being a Kiwi we have them all the time and quite cheaply. If the kids don't like the tart ones try a Golden Kiwi fruit. They are more gentle in flavour. In fact I prefer them to the more sour ones. I chuck them into crumbles, fresh fruit salads and of course not forgetting on the top of a Pavlova!!!Print this post

@metal I have only been a staff member of 2 sites (1 admin, 1 mod), but I do know what you mean. Also, I have been known to lose it when the staff stayed calm. Not to long ago I chewed out a newbie who was insulting everyone. Later I found out she was a mom, but I still stand by the things I said. However, I realize that it would be pretty hard for me to deal with what the staff here does. I spend hours every day on this site, but I get to ignore issues if I want to, and sometimes I forget to stay calm on the ones I don't ignore.
The staff here has also helped me recognize when I'm being helpful, and when I am not, especially Krank. I am very grateful for how the staff has treated me, despite my occasional insults to possible pirates when I am having a bad day. To all the staff, thank you very much.

But to make those processes show up in the ps with P_REAPING set, you need to let sysctl_kern_proc() call sysctl_out_proc(p) on them while holding p->p_lock, which eventually breaks the assertion on kern_exit.c:901 (KKASSERT(p->p_lock == 0)). So, back to the original question in issue1996 (well, actually I asked that in the second post, not the first one :), can we simply drop this assertion (and let proc_remove_zombie() wait for p->p_lock to drop)?

Walter C Uhler » Sandusky Scandal » Part 1 of 5: What Did Joe Paterno Know, and When Did He Know It?
Part 1 of 5: What Did Joe Paterno Know, and When Did He Know It?
The Mid-1970′s Through 1998
As a Penn State alumnus, I have four personal priorities concerning the Jerry Sandusky scandal. First, I want to do my part to assure that all the boys allegedly violated by Jerry Sandusky receive justice and are made whole – as far as possible. Second, I want Jerry Sandusky to receive justice, keeping in mind that he is innocent until proven guilty. Third, I want Penn State University to clean house by removing all the officials – including members of the Board of Trustees — who officially presided over Penn State while Sandusky performed his alleged serial sexual assaults on young boys. Fourth, I want to ascertain what Joe Paterno knew about Sandusky's behavior and when he knew it.
Thus, unlike the news media reporters and columnists engaged in a feeding frenzy and the many ill-informed members of the general public aroused by them (H. L. Mencken used the words "jackals" and "jackasses" respectively to describe them), I still strain to remember that, in the United States, Jerry Sandusky is innocent until proven guilty. Unlike the media commentators and the woefully uninformed public, I also am prepared to await Sandusky's conviction, before insisting Penn State clean house. You know, it's that small detail called due process. More significantly, unlike the frenzied news media and the mob they incited, I've yet to be persuaded that Joe Paterno failed his moral obligation or, worse, might have been part of a Penn State cover-up of Sandusky's alleged crimes.
Notwithstanding this media feeding frenzy and mob mentality, which appears to have provoked Penn State's Board of Trustees to unceremoniously fire Paterno, there is much we don't know about Joe Paterno's role in the Sandusky affair. Below is an attempt to give an unbiased interpretation, based upon the evidence now available to us, of what Joe Paterno knew and when he knew it. If nothing else, it might slow the media frenzy and mob onslaught.
Reports by the media, supposedly based on information provided by lawyers representing alleged victims of Sandusky, now indicate that the sexual assaults might have commenced as far back as the 1970s. Sandusky was on the Penn State football team's coaching staff back then, so it's fair to ask what, if anything, Joe Paterno heard or knew about Sandusky's allegedly sordid behavior from as far back as the 1970s up until 1998 – the year when an actual investigation of sexual misconduct was undertaken by Penn State's police.
Being the close-knit football community that Penn State was and is, one might assume that during the time period between the 1970s and 1998, Joe – or a member of his staff — must have heard rumors about Sandusky and simply turned a blind eye. After all, many, including this writer, believed that little went on at Penn State — especially concerning his football program — that escaped Joe Paterno's attention. Moreover, former coach Barry Switzer appears plausible when he asserts: "members of the Penn State coaching staff had to be aware of former defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky's alleged behavior."
"Having been in this profession a long time and knowing how close coaching staffs are, I knew that this was a secret that was kept secret. Everyone on that [staff] had to have known, the ones that had been around a long time," Keep in mind, however, that we don't know that Switzer is talking about the time period under consideration here. In addition, we can safely assume that he has no first-hand knowledge about what Joe or any member of his staff actually knew – during this time period or any other time period.
Moreover, the presumption of Joe Paterno's omniscience must, obviously, be false. I'm sure, for example, that he never knew what I was doing during my five years at Penn State. I also doubt that he knew what his coaches or players were doing – outside of his direct contact with them — unless something about any one of them was brought to his attention. Presumably, they had private lives that were shielded from him.
Although he probably had more ways to hear about things at Penn State than most people there, his access to information was not unlimited. More significantly, at this point there is no evidence that anything concerning Sandusky's alleged dark side was brought to Joe Paterno's attention. Thus, we simply don't know – at this time — whether or not Joe Paterno had any clue about Sandusky's alleged dark side during the period from the 1970s to 1997.
If experts on pedophiles are correct and Sandusky indeed engaged in "grooming" his victims, then he not only selected at-risk boys, perhaps without fathers, but also provided them gifts and attention with the objective of convincing them that he was the ONLY person they could turn to – even after he commenced abusing them. How, then, would Paterno or anyone else learn about his allegedly depraved behavior, except by chance?
Thus, what Joe Paterno most probably knew best about Sandusky was that he was a very capable football coach – instrumental in building "Linebacker U." – and that he was the moving force behind a charity for at-risk kids, The Second Mile.
Sally Jenkins has written an article in the Washington Post titled, "Blame for the Penn State scandal does not lie with Joe Paterno." She discussed the question of pedophiles with former FBI agent Ken Lanning, who has 35 years of experience profiling pedophiles and quotes him as follows: "It's hard to identify those people close to you as a potential molester, because you know them so well."
Ms. Jenkins says: "Try to forgive Joe Paterno. When he looked at Jerry Sandusky, he didn't see a dirty old man. He saw a friend, a close colleague, and a churchy do-gooder. He saw a nice guy. You'd have seen the same thing." Later she writes: "Paterno was in perhaps the worst position to see or judge the alleged behavior, because Sandusky was his valued assistant from 1966-1999."
Thus, in the absence of any information about what Joe Paterno might have known about Sandusky's alleged behavior during the 1970s through 1997, and given what Ms. Jenkins and FBI agent Lanning have shown us, any attempt to besmirch Joe during this period with guilt by association would not only be premature, but also reckless and immoral.
More significant to our evaluation of what Penn State and Joe Paterno knew about Sandusky are the events that unfolded in 1998. An 11-year old boy (identified as Victim 6 in the November 2011 grand jury report) came home with wet hair and told his puzzled mother that he had showered with Sandusky at Penn State's athletic complex. The mother immediately reported the incident to the university police. The university police conducted an investigation and compiled a report running almost 100 pages, which convinced some subsequent investigators — according to The New York Times, — that "campus police officers truly wanted to make a case against Sandusky."
Nevertheless, the district attorney (who subsequently disappeared) found insufficient reason to take the case to trial. As the Times reports: "According to people with knowledge of the current Sandusky case, the district attorney's decision in 1998 was a close call, even with the evidence the campus police had."
Was Joe Paterno aware of the 1998 allegations against Sandusky and the subsequent investigation conducted by the University police? It's hard to believe that he wasn't aware, although his son, Scott, says he wasn't.
After all, how probable was it that none of the officers involved in the investigation told their wives or friends about Sandusky's alleged crime? How probable was it that none of those confidants spread the rumor further? How probable was it, then, that Joe Paterno never heard the rumors?
According to the Times, "Prosecutors [of the current case] have said that Gary Schultz, the university official charged with overseeing the campus police, said under oath that he recalled being aware of some kind of incident involving Sandusky and a boy showering together, and the subsequent investigation." In his 2011 testimony to the grand jury, Schultz expressed surprise that the paperwork of the campus police was so voluminous.
How probable was it, that Schultz didn't give Paterno a "heads-up?"
Like Paterno, former President Graham Spanier denies knowing about the investigation, while Penn State's general counsel, Wendell Courtney, "said in an interview…that while he might have been given a customary heads-up that Sandusky, a university employee, was under investigation, he was never given any details or even general information about its nature." [Times, Nov. 16, 2011] To this day investigators question how so few people in authority could have known about the 1998 investigation.
But, even if Paterno was aware, what does he take away from those allegations after the District Attorney decided in 1998 that there was insufficient evidence to indict Sandusky? Is it possible that Paterno knew about the police investigation, but not the DAs decision? Or is it more probable that Paterno either knew about both events or neither? Remember, this information – whatever it was, if anything – still needed to be processed by a mind that probably still believed Sandusky to be a capable coach and a "churchy do-gooder."
Many of the people who suspect Joe Paterno knew about the 1998 police investigation also suspect that, in May 1999, when Joe informed Sandusky that he would not become the next head football coach at Penn State, Joe did so because of the 1998 police investigation. (Sandusky announced his retirement in August.)
Those who harbor this suspicion seem to believe that May 1999 was an appropriate time for Joe to precipitate Sandusky's retirement – before the smoke surrounding Sandusky's dark side turned into a fire that would bring down Joe and the entire football program. Such people seem to assume that the DA's decision not to indict, due to insufficient evidence, was irrelevant.
Against this suspicion, which even has been expressed publicly to CNN by a sports investigator at Sports Illustrated, there exist other explanations for both Paterno's and Sandusky's behavior. For example, according to an article in a 1999 issue of Sports Illustrated that addressed his retirement, Sandusky was asked if he would miss Joe Paterno. Sandusky responded, "Well, not exactly…You have to understand that so much of our time has been under stress, figuring out how to win. That takes a toll. We've had our battles. I've quit. I've been fired. I've walked around the building to cool off."
In January 2002 Paterno told the Centre Daily Times: "In staff meetings, it was getting to be 'We' and 'You' and it should be 'Us.' Jerry leaving gave me an opportunity to get that out of the way and do things I'm comfortable with." [Thanks to Ben Jones of blackshoediaries.com for posting this information.]
On November 10, 2011, interim head coach Tom Bradley stated his understanding of why Sandusky retired. When a reporter asked, "When you replaced Jerry Sandusky in 2000, what was your understanding of why he was leaving at the age of 55 or so?" Bradley replied, "Coach Sandusky got the retirement package that was released for a lot of state employees. Coach Sandusky was a professor here at the university, he had the opportunity to retire and get, I believe, 35 years. The last year he worked for us, he was a consultant. He had actually retired in that summer."
Finally, I specifically recall hearing more than one sports commentator who wondered aloud, in late 1999, why Paterno wasn't playing a greater role in Sandusky's impending retirement celebrations. Was it acrimony about the "We" versus "You," or suspicions about Sandusky's dark side that prompted Paterno to limit his role in the Sandusky retirement celebrations? Or was it, as my son Matt has suggested, Joe's tendency to "downplay" the significance of celebrations.
To my mind, "We" versus "You" management stress seems a less plausible explanation than suspicions about a colleague's dark side or the downplaying of celebrations.
Although none of these four bits of evidence disprove the suspicion that Joe sent Sandusky packing, because he was aware of the 1998 police investigation and, thus, of the charges against him; a fifth piece of evidence just might. If Joe knew about the 1998 police investigation and used it to force Sandusky's retirement, why did Joe do nothing when a boy – subsequently identified by the grand jury as Victim 4 – accompanied Sandusky to the Alamo Bowl, in December 1999? The fact that Victim 4 was allowed to accompany Sandusky to the Alamo Bowl strongly suggests that either Joe Paterno did not know about the 1998 police investigation — or that he knew, but also knew that the DA found insufficient evidence to indict.
Part Two of this article is scheduled for publication next Monday – initially at Walter C Uhler.com — and will deal with what Joe Paterno knew and what he did after Mike McQueary spoke to him on 1 March 2002 to inform him that he witnessed Sandusky sexually assaulting a young boy.
Unfortunately, after acknowledging what the 2011 grand jury report clearly states, namely that Joe performed his legal duty by reporting McQueary's allegations up the chain of command, the media engaged in a fact-free feeding frenzy about Joe's probable failure to meet his moral duty to stop Sandusky. The media frenzy incited the mob and, combined, they exerted sufficient indignation to compel the cowards on Penn State's Board of Trustees to prematurely and, thus, recklessly, fire Joe Paterno. That fact will endure, regardless of what we subsequently learn about Paterno's role.
Prematurely? Yes! They not only fired him before he could tell his side of the story, they actually shut him up by cancelling his scheduled press conference – where he intended to address the scandal.
So, just to poke a stick in the eye of the irresponsible media and mob – and, thus, turn the tables a bit — I offer up a fourth-hand rumor (with my spelling corrections) posted by Ben Jones at blackshoediaries.com. Although it's fourth-hand – something we shouldn't forget — it appears to be more credible and newsworthy than some the outrageous bullshit that has appeared on the Huffington Post.
. "The Rumor mill says that the grand jury testimony shows that 3 days after McQueary talked with Curley and Schultz, Paterno followed up and was told a full investigation was underway to investigate these matters. Not hearing anything, 3 months later, Paterno followed up and was told that the police and the DA were not going to pursue the matter. It is reported that Paterno's reaction was one of anger and that he demanded that Sandusky be barred from campus. Paterno was told that he did not have that authority, since he was only a football coach. Paterno then said that he was going to bar Sandusky from the football facility and was told he did have the authority. (4th hand from the AG office, take it for what it is worth."
What if it's true?

On First Impressions: Using the Nikon D4 article (183 comments in total)
I'm too busy using my d4 for the last several months to read reviews. Dpreview seems stuck on the d800 and d600. All I can say is that the d4 meets my needs for a super high iso camera, excellant build, af excellant and frame rate fast amongst a lot of other improvements. It is a pity that dpreview has ignored the d4. Maybe because the d800 and d600 brings more hits on their forum?

Do you use the same brow highlighter shade for all your looks?
Do you use the same brow highlighter shade for all your looks? Do you have a few you cycle through? Do you change it all the time?
I used to have a few I cycled through, and now I primarily use Burberry Trench, because it goes with everything! If I don't use that, then I use what I'm testing or is included in a palette.

I hate when the brown sugar gets hard, so this little disk does the trick, and keeps the sugar soft. When I give gifts, I stick a little disk in the package.
it works!

If you buy brown sugar and have some left, it gets hard. Breaking it up is difficult. Instead of pitching the dried hunk of brown sugar in the trash, buy one of these discs. Soak it in water per the included instructions and put it in your container of brown sugar. Next time you reach for the brown sugar, it will be soft and ready for your use.
I'm impressed with this product!

About Me Male Shopper
If you follow the instructions the product works beautifully. For the money its well worth it. The only draw back is after a time you have to soak it in warm water per instructions to preserve it. But its all worth it. I use the product daily and it keeps my brown sugar and cookies fresh and moist daily.

text: by Kevin Kerr KKAJ News Director Taylor has been skirting the line between country and pop music for quite some time now. Her last album, "Red" had a mixture of both genres on it, but it showed that the young songstress was beginning to alter her tastes a little more. Yesterday, she announced her fifth album, "1989" and released a video and single for "Shake It Off" after teasing it for a couple weeks. And this time... it's officially a pop album. Swift announced all of her poppy goodness via a live stream on Yahoo and ABC while seated with fans and friends in New York. She took some questions and then began to let everyone who ever talked bad about her have it. So apparently, instead of old foregone boyfriends, this time, Swift is singing about her "haters." But if "Shake if Off" is any indication of the rest of the album, it'll still have her normal upbeat, fun feel to it, just without the country element. The album, "1989," is titled after her birth year. Having been born at the tail end of the '80s, Swift never really got to experience the glory that is the brightly colored, synth-heavy, key-tar loving generation. Her inspirations for this album came from listening to a large library of pop music from the 1980s. "I really loved the chances they were taking. I loved how bold it was," she told Country Weekly. "It was apparently a time of limitless potential." "1989" will hit stores in October, but is up for pre-order on iTunes and Amazon or on Taylor's website. And just for a reference to what her work will sound like from now on, here's the video for "Shake it Off."
