Grilled Peaches & Pecans
Yesterday I had time, at long last, to settle in and cook a new recipe for this here website o' mine. It was a beautiful feeling and made me realize how much I love doing this whole foodblogging thing. And part of why I love it is that I don't have to worry about what my makeup looks like.
I got a little excited about having all this time to do a post, so I decided to show you three recipes rather than one. They all use the same two basic elements—grilled peaches and pecans—and it was fun to think about how many different ways they can be used. It was also fun to eat them.
If you've never grilled peaches before, you've got to try it soon. Next time you fire up the grill to make burgers or steaks, stick some halved peaches over to the side and watch the magic happen.
Or do what I do and use a grill pan on your stove! You won't sweat quite as much.
I try to avoid sweating however I possibly can.
I set out to do a peach recipe in the first place because my mother-in-law brought me this box of peaches early last week and I've been trying to whittle down the supply.
Here's the basic recipe. First, cut the peaches in half like this: Sink the knife in as far as the pit, then gently roll the knife forward so it'll cut a neat circle.
Then just twist the two halves in opposite directions until they separate. Depending on the ripeness and variety of peaches, this can take a little muscle and/or perseverance and/or prayer.
Use a spoon to pop/dig out the pit.
And again, depending on the peaches, this can be a little challenging.
Oh, and I should explain why I just happen to have sunflowers and gerbera daisies laying around my cutting board and maple syrup bottle. It's because I put them there. I hosted a wedding reception at the Lodge Friday night, and I now have sunflowers and gerberas coming out of my ears. So over the next week, you'll probably see them draped all over anything I take pictures of.
It'll be hard to explain this to the cows. But they're pretty docile creatures. It should be okay.
Pour a little maple syrup in a dish…
And brush the peaches with the syrup. This'll give the peaches a little bit of flavor and sweetness, but it'll also give them some much-needed moisture and gloss as they grill.
Heat the grill pan over low (maybe medium-low) heat and smear on some butter. Again: Moisture. Gloss. Grill. If you put the peaches straight on the grill without any help, they'll look a little dry and sad.
Place the peach halves, cut side down, on the pan.
Let them grill low and slow for a few minutes, rotating them 90 degrees halfway through in order to get pretty grill marks.
Then keep on grillin' the halves! The trickiest part of it is keeping the heat low enough that the maple syrup doesn't burn. I kept it right in between low and medium-low the whole time, and probably grilled them for 4 minutes or so. You don't want the maple syrup to start smoking, so just keep it as low as possible (and if you're using an actual grill, keep them as far away from flame as possible.)
After they've all been grilled…
Brush on a little extra syrup and set 'em aside. They're delicious warm or at room temp!
Meanwhile violently throw some pecans onto the cutting board…
Now we're ready to divide and conquer!
Mound some ice cream in a bowl: I used vanilla, but pretty much anything ice cream that makes your skirt fly up is perfect.
(Psst. Try cinnamon!)
(Or psst. Try dulce de leche!)
(Or psst. Try strawberry!)
(I'll stop now.)
Slice the peach halves in half…
And press them, cut side down, into the ice cream.
Sprinkle the pecans all over the top…
Then, for a dash of fabulousness, a small drizzle of maple syrup.
If you're looking for a slightly less naughty (but still scrumptious) option, grab some plain Greek yogurt…
And spoon it into a small dish.
This time, cut each half into four slices and press them onto the top of the yogurt, cut side down.
I need to tell you something and I need you to believe me.
I like this better than the ice cream version.
I really do. The yogurt just allows you to taste so much more of the maple and the peaches…oh my GOODNESS, is it ever good.
Finally, here's one of my favorite ways to use grilled peaches and pecans: First, drizzle your favorite salad dressing onto a big bowl of mixed greens.
After that, crumble up some blue cheese (this is Gorgonzola)…
Toss it all around until the greens are coated and the blue cheese is mixed in…
Then pile it onto a serving platter and place peach halves on the top.
Sprinkle chopped pecans over the whole thing.
This is so, so good. And so purty. Perfect for guests!
Enjoy grilled peaches and pecans, guys!
Serve them over pancakes, French toast, crostini…the possibilities are endless.
Here's the handy dandy printable.

Preparation Instructions
Brush the peach halves with maple syrup. Smear butter on a grill or grill pan over low heat. Place the peaches cut side down onto the grill/grill pan and cook them low and slow for a few minutes, rotating them 90 degrees halfway through. Monitor the cooking temp and keep it low enough that the maple syrup doesn't burn.
Remove the peaches when they're slightly soft but not mushy and have great grill marks. Brush a little extra maple syrup over the tops.
Serve them:
Over ice cream: Scoop ice cream into a bowl, then cut peach halves in half. Press the slices into the ice cream, sprinkle pecans all over the top, and drizzle on extra maple syrup.
Over Greek yogurt: Spoon Greek yogurt into a small dish. Press slices of grilled peaches over the top. Sprinkle with pecans and drizzle on maple syrup.
Over salad: Toss mixed greens with your favorite salad dressing and crumbled blue cheese. Pile high on a platter and place grilled peach halves all over. Sprinkle with pecans.
Other ideas: Serve grilled peaches and pecans over pancakes, French toast, crostini, etc.

One of my favorite things to enjoy in summer is a peach….with cinnamon sugar….yummo! This looks divine!! Thanks Rae!
IrishMum On Monday, June 17 at 6:45 am
I knew I shouldn't have looked before bed (I'm in Australia), now I have the night time munchies!! Looks delicious
Tulip On Monday, June 17 at 7:56 am
You poor thing! Just think about how long it will be before you have fresh native peaches!
IrishMum On Monday, June 17 at 5:47 pm
Haha, thanks Tulip!
Jan On Monday, June 17 at 6:47 am
I am running to get peaches right now!!! Yummy!!
Bonnie M On Monday, June 17 at 6:53 am
mmMMmmmmmmmMMMMM………all I can say is "Peachy keen!" I don't know how you do it Ree! It's not as though you have a lot of time on your hands, but you keep coming up with such wonderfully simple recipes that make the less creative of us say, "Why didn't I think of that?!" Super creative and each version of this recipe looks amazing! Happy Monday! Hope it's a fantastic day at the Ranch!! Lovin' your new season, by the way!!
God's Great Blessings to You, Yours and All Creatures, Great and Small!
Loved seeing Abigail, Cowgirl and Spike!!
Jennifer On Monday, August 12 at 6:32 pm
Dearest Ree,
Ok so I have been a Food Network junkie for years. Usually Giada or Ina. Maybe a few others in between. So then I thought well who is this pioneer woman who homeschools her kids. I got very scared. Except I watched a show or two, then tried a recipe or two and then I thought omg she is awesome.
I have watched a few episodes and this is what I have observed. It doesn't seem so staged.
For example, the boys going through the grocery or the birthday party with all the girls. Today it was fried chicken!! Loved the idea of pouring a bit of the buttermilk in to the seasoned flour. Genius. Loved that the red truck wasn't all clean and shiny and that the garage was really dirty when you guys were cleaning it. When you went to high-five a cloud of dirty dust went in the air. Love it. Jennifer
Zachy's MeMaw On Thursday, August 22 at 6:54 pm
Wow, these peaches look amazing! I just took your Blackberry Cobbler out of the oven and it is already half gone. Tomorrow maybe I'll try the peaches, I just love the summer fresh fruits!
Averie @ Averie Cooks On Monday, June 17 at 7:21 am
Those grill marks on the peaches, and being brushed with maple syrup, now THAT is a heavenly sight. Love them, Ree!
Cheryl Barker On Monday, June 17 at 7:22 am
Ree, I'd never heard of grilled peaches before, but they sound yummy of course. Love the ice cream option — and love how you're draping your daisies and sunflowers everywhere
Katrina @ Warm Vanilla Sugar On Monday, June 17 at 7:23 am
Yes, please! What a fabulous summer dessert!
Janice On Monday, June 17 at 7:29 am
So, do you eat the skins too?
Anna On Monday, June 17 at 9:01 am
Yes, definitely. But if you don't like the skin, you can peel it before eating.
Theresa in Alberta On Monday, June 17 at 7:30 am
very yummy looking!!! Um, are you going to share the details of the wedding with us?? hint hint hint
amy @southern sweets and eats On Monday, June 17 at 7:31 am
I just got some fresh peaches from the farmer's market. I am going to have to do this and eat them over some Greek yogurt for breakfast this week. Yum!
Christina G On Monday, June 17 at 7:32 am
This looks delicious! I have a question though. How do you clean your grill pan? I have one, and can never wipe it down like I can my normal cast iron pans. Any tips? I don't mind a little leftover food in there, but it's tricky with those grooves!
Deb R On Monday, June 17 at 7:34 am
Mmmmmmmmmm!! I'm with you, yogurt really 'pops' the flavor of the peaches and syrup but they're good even right off the grill!
Steph On Monday, June 17 at 7:47 am
Goodness, those look yummy! Peaches are one of my favs in the summer.
Debbi B On Monday, June 17 at 7:53 am
Printing the recipe as I sit here can't wait to try it.
Robin On Monday, June 17 at 7:53 am
Yum, yum, and yum!
Bev @ Bev Cooks On Monday, June 17 at 7:55 am
Only thing missing is my face.
Corky On Monday, June 17 at 7:57 am
Bleu cheese crumbles and honey and pecans is a good combination, too.
Yvette On Monday, June 17 at 8:24 am
I am sure it is as yummy as it looks. Try it with toasted or candied pecans too!
Mrs. Lucky On Monday, June 17 at 8:24 am
You are killing me! Darn all of these look yummy!
Daisy Ray@ Flowers, Fruit and Fun On Monday, June 17 at 8:40 am
Mmmm… yum! Love peaches, and these recipes look great!
Mary C On Monday, June 17 at 8:42 am
Please share…what kind of salad dressing did you use? That salad is going to haunt me until I have some.
Tom Chin On Monday, June 17 at 8:43 am
This looks tasty and perfect for this summer!
Lauren @ Rustic Honey On Monday, June 17 at 8:46 am
I am crossing my fingers that our peach tree will provide this year! These look amazing! I can't wait to try the salad! Thanks for sharing!
polly On Monday, June 17 at 8:46 am
yummy, Ree!!! Sometime try a spoon of natural almond butter in the center of a warm grilled peach. it might knock your socks off.
Anele @ Success Along the Weigh On Monday, June 17 at 8:48 am
I'm not a peach person but for these…I'll reconsider.
Kathryn On Monday, June 17 at 9:16 am
We saw someone grilling peaches a couple years ago on a television program and were intrigued. Tried it, and were hooked! So wonderful. We peel ours, the way they were done on tv, and like that, as you know the peels can be nasty if not properly washed. We like to slice them and place them on top of grilled fish. Delightful!
Linda P On Monday, June 17 at 9:23 am
I'm going to get peaches today. I love that you eat Blue Bell ice cream. My kids were born in Texas and Blue Bell is our favorite.
Kathleen Niemer On Monday, June 17 at 9:28 am
I like the idea of the maple syrup. I have grilled peaches many times and love them, but I always rolled the cut part in granulated sugar. Then it would carmelize when grilling nicely but you didn't get the added maple flavor which would have to be a good thing. Thanks for the great idea.
And the sunflowers and gerberas added SO much to the photos!
Lori On Monday, June 17 at 9:30 am
I like to cook, but I love to bake more. Love the creating process of baking.
Donna King On Monday, June 17 at 9:31 am
Ree we love watching the Pioneer Woman. Our whole family watches. My grand daughter who is 6 loved seeing the episode with the tall chocolate cake with strawberries and cream.
Our grandson likes watching too. I have saved quite a few because they want to go back and see them again.
We have cows on a much, much smaller level and they help us a lot. They enjoy watching your kids out on the ranch doing things. I do too. I am glad you are adding more of the ranch daily activities.
Keep bringing us those shows and updates on you and your family.
Becky On Monday, June 17 at 9:31 am
We are born-and-raised Texans, but we live in Washington right now. Seeing that Bluebell tub in these photos makes me SO nostalgic for home! Delish.
Melissa On Monday, June 17 at 9:33 am
Looks sinfully delish.. I typical roast pecans for any and every recipe as I like the flavor better. Just a suggestion if anyone would like to try it I think that's what I will do
Melissa @ The Fresh 20 On Monday, June 17 at 9:40 am
You just about stole my heart with the Greek yogurt alternative. I'm beaming with joy. XO
Sandra the Red On Monday, June 17 at 9:42 am
Or just eat them!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Laura On Monday, June 17 at 9:43 am
I LOVE grilled peaches. But I have a bourbon sauce that's absolutely to die for that I drizzle over the peaches and ice cream. I bet it'd be good over Greek yogurt, too. Heck, bourbon sauce is good over anything …
Sandra Oden On Monday, June 17 at 9:49 am
On ice cream of course!
Suzanne On Monday, June 17 at 9:52 am
Oh my heavens! This recipe makes me realize it's high time I buy one of those grill pans!
Ginger On Monday, June 17 at 9:54 am
Peaches are ripening now (Tx Gulf Coast)–Blue Bell Peaches & H.Van. are here–will definitely be making your grilled peaches recipe and the yogurt one! Even have the home-grown pecans! Yumm….
MarthaC107 On Monday, June 17 at 9:57 am
I must try this. Yummy!
Valerie On Monday, June 17 at 9:57 am
Love, love love peaches, I have grilled them and used a raspberry balsamic on them, yum!
Margie On Monday, June 17 at 9:58 am
Do I like to make lasagna or bake? I think I'l rather make the lasagna…ummm, gooey/delicious. Is this where I make my comments to win the Mason bowls??? I hope so! I'm having trouble finding the comments section!
dc On Monday, June 17 at 9:59 am
Looks yummy! Local peaches here should be ripe in August or September…their not as pretty as these, but they are very tasty!
Callie On Monday, June 17 at 10:00 am
I'd rather COOK, baking keeps me off-centered…..I'm always hoping the thing won't collapse or that I didn't get all the clumps of flour incorporated!
SeattleDee On Monday, June 17 at 10:08 am
Love local peaches and nectarines – but who can wait until late summer to enjoy stone fruit? We love them broiled with a nutty filling.
Mellissa H On Monday, June 17 at 10:09 am
Delish! I love grilled peaches. I usually just eat them with a scoop of vanilla bean ice cream, but putting them in a salad sounds wonderful!
Charles Nester On Monday, June 17 at 10:14 am
Like your use of black pepper and cinnamon. The pepper is essential to gravies, grilled meats, and the usual stuff. Cinnamon, really good cinnamon like Vietnamese, makes lots of flavors pop such as grilled peaches and chocolate. When cooking off camera, what is your source for good spices?
Margie from New York On Monday, June 17 at 10:17 am
You know what also would be great on the grilled peach salad? A lite drizzle of balsamic vinegar reduction , the kind you would use for Caprese salad.
Georgia @ The Comfort of Cooking On Monday, June 17 at 10:20 am
Oh, now these are gorgeous! With Texas peach season cropping up, I can definitely see myself serving these at my next dinner party… with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream on top!
ann On Monday, June 17 at 10:22 am
The salad looks particularly delicious.
Judy Davis On Monday, June 17 at 10:23 am
Thank you!! They all look great!!!
Cathy Pollak ~ Noble Pig On Monday, June 17 at 10:23 am
So I am a bit of a grilled peach nut. There is nothing better than warm peaches, brie, blue cheese and maple…it all works. Thanks for reminding me:).
Terry On Monday, June 17 at 10:23 am
Were the peaches from Bixby or Porter?
Grammanita On Monday, June 17 at 10:33 am
These are wonderful ideas…now I must go pick up peaches, yogurt, maple syrup, salad greens……oh look, a grocery list! Am thinking the yogurt option will be good with burgers tomorrow. btw….we have yet to see a single sunflower…where did you find them this time of year? And, YES, we must have details of wedding reception. We know the "where" and the "when" but we would really love to know the answers to all the other "w's". Thank you.
Carol Adams On Monday, June 17 at 10:37 am
Well, I guess I'm going to have to run to Sprouts and buy some peaches (in the rain!)!! I don't have a grill or a grill pan so I'm going to try using a regular skillet. Can't wait to try these fabulous recipes!!
JulieT On Tuesday, June 18 at 7:24 pm
Carol – broil 'em. That works, too!
cici On Monday, June 17 at 10:54 am
Love the grilled peaches – and try them with pork chops or any meat!! Just eat them up!! YUM!!!
Pamela @ Brooklyn Farm Girl On Monday, June 17 at 11:05 am
As soon as I saw the peaches in that box I knew this recipe was going to be good!
Barbara D On Monday, June 17 at 11:06 am
Trish G Repay On Monday, June 17 at 11:08 am
cook or bake – if I have to, I'd choose bake over cook however my real preference is to have 'MiLorne' my husband do both! He isn't actually better at it, it's just that I'm better at 'oohing and aahing' and appreciating 'his' efforts and actually anything that is cooked or baked by someone other than me is always delicious!
I adore the heart bowls…
Marianne On Monday, June 17 at 11:12 am
Ice cream and yogurt are fine, but…..for the ultimate, do the salad w/blue cheese or gorgonzola. Also works w/grilled pears! And, roast the pecans first, with a tad of maple syrup…..ahhhhhhh. Just went to heaven. Way better than skirt flying up.
NBOsister On Monday, June 17 at 11:16 am
I'd rather cook than bake. Too much temptation–all that butter and sugar. Ummmmmmmmmmmmm!
Ree used 12 sticks of butter on her last show. Everything's better with Land 'O Lakes on it!
jean On Monday, June 17 at 11:16 am
ooh, I can't wait until our local peaches come in! Those look soooo good!
Adrienne On Monday, June 17 at 11:29 am
Connie Pruitt On Monday, June 17 at 11:35 am
Help me Ree,
I hate my grill pan. I got a lodge grill pan and things stick and the clean up is terrible because you are not suppose to soak. I stopped using it. I have only used the raised side. Haven't tried the flat side. Things taste great but its not worth the sticking and clean up and I haven't had it very long so its almost new. Help, it was not cheap and taking up space. Thanks!
Elisabeth On Monday, June 17 at 11:10 pm
I know what you mean! On the paint aisle at Walmart, I found this toothbrush looking thing w/ metal bristles (they came in a 3-pack) and it works great on my grill pan – makes cleaning it a breeze which means I use it a lot more! Hope that helps!
Ashley @ Wishes and Dishes On Monday, June 17 at 11:37 am
I love this idea!! And we just bought a grill so now I can do this
Shay @ Whine Less, Breathe More On Monday, June 17 at 11:39 am
Yum! I need a grill pan since I don't actually grill…
Jan Kling On Monday, June 17 at 11:48 am
They all look so good, but I think I vote for version #1. Thanks Rea.
Carl in Roswell On Monday, June 17 at 11:55 am
I recently moved from Texas to Georgia, which is of course, The Peach State. AND it just so happens I bought a new Food Network 'Green' Grill Pan just a few weeks ago. So talk about perfect timing! I cannot wait to grill some Georgia peaches and try these recipes out, esp the salad and yogurt. I am in love with Chobani and am curious to see how their peach flavored one will enhance this dish. Thank you Ree for being so awesome!!!
Angela On Monday, June 17 at 12:03 pm
That looks delicious.
Davina On Monday, June 17 at 12:09 pm
Why have I never grilled peaches? I've thought about it but always forget to get peaches when I'm at the store. Writing I on my grocery list right now!!
Ina On Monday, June 17 at 12:12 pm
OMG. I love this. Will have to do this when I see the first peaches on the market. Thank you for your inspiration!
Shirley Taylor On Monday, June 17 at 12:21 pm
I have the same question as Christina.My Hubby got me a beautiful red cast iron grill pan for Christmas and I have a love hate relationship with it! I find it really…really hard to clean between the grooves on the pan.I should use the pan much more than I do but when I think about the prospect of clean up I opt out!! I have a set of cast iron pans that I've had almost 40 years,and use often, so I'm aware of seasoning,not using soap etc. Any ideas?
C Gutierrez On Wednesday, July 3 at 11:41 am
How about using a steel brush like the ones used for outdoor grills?
Gia On Saturday, August 31 at 7:44 pm
Coarse SALT!!! I scrub my cast irons with warm water, coarse sea salt and a kitchen sponge. Doesn't matter whats on em', it comes right off. A nice Pinterest trick I learned
Jenna Rodgers On Monday, June 17 at 12:23 pm
That is such a creative way to use peaches! I'm sure they're delicious. This recipe will definitely find its place on my list of things to try
LoriM On Monday, June 17 at 12:39 pm
Oo, those options all sound good. And I believe you about the yogurt! I love it with apple crisp – my husband turns his nose up. ha!
Kelly On Monday, June 17 at 12:43 pm
I love this idea. I am a SC girl and it is getting to be peach season! I will have to peel the peaches, to me eating them with the skin is like a cat taking a bath!
Karen On Monday, June 17 at 12:48 pm
cannot wait to get to the store for the peaches so can do these recipes – hubby will love the peaches and cream and I am already salivating over that salad
Pamela Rundell On Monday, June 17 at 12:56 pm
I love both cooking and baking!
Janet On Monday, June 17 at 1:18 pm
These recipes sound fabulous! Thanks!
Melissa L On Monday, June 17 at 1:40 pm
My favorite is baking, I LOVE the way it makes the house smell and of course, making sure it tastes great is a must!
Jane On Monday, June 17 at 1:50 pm
Love this recipe — peaches a must for summer time eating.!!!!!!!!
Sherri N. in Georgia On Monday, June 17 at 3:02 pm
My grandmother used to make us toasted pecans every Christmas. She'd put pecans on a cookie sheet, drizzle with melted butter and then sprinkle with salt. She'd toast them for a few minutes in the oven. I bet those chopped up with the grilled peaches and ice cream would be heavenly – the whole sweet and salty thing going on. Yum! Yum!
mj On Monday, June 17 at 3:09 pm
Ree, what kind of grill pan do you have? Thanks!
Desiree On Monday, June 17 at 3:13 pm
Oh my, these look wonderful. I can't wait to try them
denise On Monday, June 17 at 3:15 pm
oh, wow, I need to try this–could probably just use the cast iron skillet
Sherri N. in Georgia On Monday, June 17 at 3:20 pm
I can't wait to get to the Farmer's Market this afternoon to get some peaches to try these wonderful recipes. My grandmother used to toast pecans for us every Christmas. She would put fresh pecans (yes – we have trees in our yard) on a baking sheet, drizzle them with melted real butter and then sprinkle them with salt. She'd toast them for a few minutes in the oven. Wouldn't that be yummy to sprinkle over the grilled peaches and ice cream??? The whole salty sweet thing going on! Yummy! Yummy!
I love your site and check it obsessively several times a day to see what's new!
Paula On Monday, June 17 at 3:38 pm
I love cooking period. The prep work is relaxing to me.
Lynn M On Monday, June 17 at 4:13 pm
I'm with you, Paula. I love gathering all my ingredients, getting my knives and cutting boards out and spreading everything on the island, and putting together a good, home-cooked meal.
Monica On Monday, June 17 at 3:59 pm
Those look so delicious!!! I really love the ice cream. That salad doesn't look too bad either.
Cece On Monday, June 17 at 4:08 pm
I love fresh peaches, but for the ice cream option what about Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla with Peaches? If you don't have Blue Bell ice cream available where you live, you are definitely missing a treat!
Lynn M On Monday, June 17 at 4:09 pm
Summertime is for grilling fruit! We grill peaches, plum, nectarines, bananas, and especially, pineapples. Just delicious! I'm going to try that salad.
SandyB On Monday, June 17 at 4:33 pm
This would be great over buttermilk ice cream – which taste like cheesecake.
forever montana On Monday, June 17 at 4:52 pm
It looks sooo good. I can hardly wait to try it. Another fabulous dish!! Thank you Ree.
laurie On Monday, June 17 at 4:59 pm
peaches aren't in season here (for quite a while) but when they are I'm going to try this for sure, yum! We just started getting warm weather so this is going to soon be on our table!Thankyou for sharing this,
Bea Long On Monday, June 17 at 5:04 pm
I love grilled peaches and watermelon!!!!! Those are my favorite fruits! Great recipes I can't wait to try them!!

Mary Elimon On Monday, June 17 at 6:32 pm
cooking AND baking, mostly cooking. love the bowls!
Susan J On Monday, June 17 at 6:52 pm
Ree, are there certain kinds of peaches that work better for grilling? Your recipe sounds yummy!
Phee K. On Monday, June 17 at 7:28 pm
I have been adding fresh fruit to yogurt along with toasted pecans. I add the pecans straight from the cast iron skillet, so they are warm and extra fragrant. Now it is time to grill some of those peaches I bought yesterday!

Virginia Beach, Va. – More than 400 students from schools across Hampton Roads gathered at the Virginia Beach Oceanfront today, taking part in the Cool School Challenge in support of the Special Olympics.
"I think it's important because it gives people with disabilities a chance to do something amazing," said sixth-grade student Nathan Spires who attends Independence Middle School. He raised more than $1,300 for the Special Olympics, the top fundraiser at his school.
Plaza Middle School, though, raised the most money out of any school at the Cool School Challenge, raising more than $20,000.
"You're doing it for a good cause and you know the money goes somewhere, too, so it's great," said Malia Chissler, seventh-grade student at Plaza Middle School.
All together, students raised more than $93,500 for Special Olympics Virginia.
Students began their day in a heated tent on the Oceanfront, but around noon, they all took an icy plunge into the ocean. This is one of several pre-plunge events before the annual Polar Plunge Saturday. The Polar Plunge Winter Festival is the largest fundraiser for Special Olympics Virginia.
"They're doing the same thing in the community everybody else is doing. They just want to be your co-worker, your neighbor, your friend, and that's what Special Olympics is all about," said Rick Jeffrey, president of Special Olympics Virginia.

By: Kai Porter, KOB Eyewitness News 4
Albuquerque police are looking for a killer after a gruesome discovery today in a vacant lot near Wyoming and Zuni in southeast Albuquerque.
Police found a woman's body around 9 a.m. this morning, and told KOB it was "obvious" she was violently attacked.
"I know officers who were on scene are very shaken up," APD spokeswoman Ferris Simmons said.
Alex Marquez lives right next to the vacant lot and witnessed the murder.
He was working in his back yard and he said he saw a man and a woman having sex on a mattress behind some trees in the vacant lot. He said it didn't appear the man was hurting the woman so he went back inside.
"Ten minutes later I came back and put the tools away," he said. "I saw the individual bludgeoning her. He had something up in the air like a bloody brick. So I ran back in and called 911. "
Police say a witness saw a man running away from the scene. They described the suspect as a 5'4" male with short hair who was wearing a red t-shirt, black jeans and was wearing a backpack at the time of the crime.
"It's the first time we've seen something like this near our house," Urias said.
Police have yet to identify the woman or say how she was killed, and are asking the public for any information they may have.
Around the same time this morning, a SWAT team situation was unraveling near Zuni and Dallas.
Police handcuffed a man in a red shirt, but released him just a few minutes later.
The man wouldn't say why he was detained, and it's unclear if that situation was related to the murder scene.

Memphis businesses invited to apply for solar grants
The Tennessee Solar Institute is offering $1.15 million to Tennessee businesses to fund solar installation projects across the state.
This is the second round of funds from the state-run institute, and they will be given on a first-come, first-served basis. Businesses received more than $9 million for projects last year.
"This (request for applications) will generate a large and quick response," said Dr. John Sanseverino, director of programs at TSI. "The time to review, conduct and inspect projects will be short; projects need to be shovel ready and have all other funding in place."
Applications will be accepted beginning Monday, Aug. 15. Award recipients can get as much as $105,000 for a solar installation. Awards size will be based on the size of the project.
Applications and other information can be found at solar.tennessee.edu.

Yuri Suzuki: Three Radio Theremin
Fans of comedian Bill Bailey will be well-versed in the musical potential of the theremin, an instrument usually associated with 1960s psychadelic rock. Now the curators of Object Abuse at The KK Outlet have challenged a roster of top artists and designers to reimagine everyday objects as something else, and the mercurial Yuri Suzuki has produced his very own theremin, using three ordinary radios. It has certainly set a high standard for the rest of the show, which opens next week.

Spoiler: Castle Casts New Captain!
After weeks of speculation, the Castle team has finally picked a new captain!
TV Guide is reporting that the lucky lady is Penny Johnson Jerald, who has previously appeared on 24 (ex-Mrs. Palmer's back!) and The Larry Sanders Show.
She'll try to fill the shoes left after Montgomery's shocking and tragic death in the Season 3 finale — where Monty gave his own life to protect Beckett from a sleazy hit man. Our eyes get teary just thinking about it.
The new captain of the 12th Precinct is named Victoria Gates and she's described as a career-minded cop who spent much of her early career in Internal Affairs. It looks like she'll initially be more interested in garnering attention from her superiors instead of police work.
Yet, she'll be known as "Iron Gates" because she's going to be pretty tough on Castle and Beckett. Castle creator Andrew Marlowe told TV Guide, "Everybody's getting along really well in the precinct, and we think there can be a little more conflict."
Or Castle and Beckett could fall in love already. Just a thought.
He continued, "We think it's interesting to grow Beckett and Castle by having somebody who ... may not look as favorably on the Castle-Beckett relationship."
You mean there's someone out there who doesn't think our golden crime-fighting duo is meant to be? Gasp!
Castle returns on Monday, September 19 at 9 p.m. ET. Will you tune in to watch the new captain at work?

Launch Pad Cooperative announces six member artists, film screeningWritten by Matt Liasse | | email@example.com
Launch Pad Cooperative will kick off its 2013-14 fiscal year with six selected artists.
Five of the six artists have art featured in "Between Blisters & Blue Skies," the gallery's current exhibition of work curated by co-founders Timothy Gaewsky and Crystal Phelps.
The featured artists were chosen after an extensive review based on a number of criteria.
"We sort of approached the whole selection process almost like curating a show," Gaewsky said. "We were looking at the work in terms of how one artist's work would complement another artist's work and selected the artists based on that."
Gaewsky said he wanted to have a diverse but cohesive group.
The first display of these artists' works will be in January at Launch Pad's 911 Jefferson Ave. location. All the artists are local and bring something different to the gallery, Gaewsky said.
"All of them are in various stages of their artistic career," he said. Two teach, one has other gallery representations and another is beginning graduate school. "We really wanted to have that, to share each other's networks and other opportunities."
Selected artists Jefferson Nelson and Ben Lock will be paired for their exhibit. The two have not yet met.
Nelson said he will probably include sculpture and painting in the gallery. He said he usually doesn't stick to one medium of art.
"I like to solve problems," Nelson said. "My work is also an experimentation, trying to see what kind of boundaries I can push with the material, and I have a vast array of knowledge when it comes to fabrication and building and sculpting. So I'm always looking for something challenging to do."
Lock, who is new to the area, said he will probably display new work in the gallery. He works mostly with metal sculpting.
"I'm interested in learning more about what Launch Pad's plan is for the member artists," Lock said. "I'm really excited [to] get more involved with Toledo and the Toledo art scene."
Another artist, Carrie Day, is excited to have her work featured in the gallery. She works mostly with paint and ceramics. She earned her Bachelor of Fine Arts in 3-D Studies from Bowling Green State University.
Day said a lot of her work lately is a reflection on her childhood.
"I think I'm at an age where I'm trying to process a lot of what happened when I was young and I don't have vivid memories," Day said.
Other artists involved include Casey Smith, Julia LaBay and Hannah Lehmann.
Toledo AV Club Art Movie Night
In collaboration with Toledo AV Club, Launch Pad Cooperative will sponsor viewings of an art-related movie once a month.
"[It] is, quite simply, an excuse to watch really good movies with others in the area that enjoy the same subject matter," Toledo AV Club founder Mark Troknya said. "These movies may not have been shown in Toledo and may not have made it on everyone's radar initially. The idea was born after University of Toledo Art History Professor Dr. Mysoon Rizk screened the documentary 'How to Survive a Plague' earlier this year, and I thought 'Someone should do this regularly.'"
Launch Pad Cooperative screened a film earlier in the summer "to much success," Gaewsky said.
"At this point there hasn't really been an art film series or a venue that shows artists' documentaries," Gaewsky said.
On Sept. 9, the feature "Me and You and Everyone We Know," directed by Miranda July, will be screened at UT's Haigh Auditorium at the Center for Visual Arts Museum Campus at 620 Grove Place. The event will be free.
"It's one of those quirky art films that both Mark and I enjoy," Gaewsky said.
The movie follows Christine Jesperson, a lonely artist and "Eldercab" driver, newly single shoe-salesman Richard Swersey and 7-year-old Robby, who is having an Internet romance with a stranger.
The characters find redemption in their tortured lives as the film goes on.
"We're trying to show films that were either directed by artists or documentaries about artists," Gaewsky said.
Gaewsky said Launch Pad Cooperative is also planning an experimental film festival for November.

Defending the future of books
Wednesday, February 08, 2006
On Monday, University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman gave a moving speech to the AAP (American Association of Publishers) about the reasons why the university is participating in the Google Book Search Library Project. She explained how copyright law supports fair use, and eloquently observed that the loss of books, whether due to natural disasters or inevitable physical decay, is a significant cultural loss.
"Nature, politics and war have always been the mortal enemies of written works," she said. "Most recently, Hurricane Katrina dealt a blow to the libraries of the Gulf Coast. At Tulane University, the main library sat in nine feet of water -- water that soaked the valuable Government Documents collection: more than 750,000 items -- one of the largest collections of government materials in Louisiana -- 90 percent of it now lost."
President Coleman went on to note that together with Google "the University of Michigan is involved in one of the most extensive preservation projects in world history. ... By digitizing today's books, through our own efforts and in partnership with others, we are protecting the written word for all time."
In the recent debate over making books discoverable online, the value of preserving our culture, knowledge and history has often been ignored. We're honored to partner with institutions like the University of Michigan that staunchly defend this shared heritage.
You can watch her speech on Google Video.
Update: Reposted with working links and Google Video link.

You might ask your company HR department about what your different coverage options are... Look at switching to a higher deductable policy like an HSA... Switch to that policy before leaving and lock in a lower monthly rate for your insurance... Take a look at the HSA rules and tax savings... Message Edited by krummelhart on 02-07-2010 01:52 AM

Not sure why my post was unlinked... it was perfectly relevant. In any case, good luck in your endeavors !
alexusc | Performer | 2/1/2010 - 12:45 pm
@NicoleD, I think your advice is great, and thank you for providing that information. I recently was laid off as well, and I faced mounting insurance costs, but COBRA was - at the very least - able to temporarily cover me while I was searching for options for my new small business endeavor. I think you may have failed to mention one thing, in particular, which I think newzee will find helpful as well. Perhaps more important than maintaining health insurance coverage while unemployed is auto insurance coverage. Few people realize that a lack of car insurance could lead to higher rates down the road. When I lost my job, I automatically had to look for options that were more affordable. I didn't realize this, but apparently certain occupations have what are called 'occupational discounts' [see the occupational auto insurance discounts section here]. I was able to cut my rates significantly - but, more importantly, by maintaining my coverage I was ensuring that my coverage would 'lapse,' which means that - down the road - my premiums won't go up. I hope this advice has been helpful! Feel free to chime in if you think you have any further advice. I just thought I'd put in my two cents. ---This post has been unlinked.

newzee - According to the Department of Labor's FAQs about COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) coverage, employees are eligible for continuing coverage if one of the following qualifying events is applicable: Voluntary or involuntary termination of employment for reasons other than gross misconduct Reduction in the number of hours of employment Based on the information you provided, it appears as though you are eligible for continuing healthcare coverage under COBRA, however, it is important to note that coverage usually ends after 18 months from the termination date. (There are possiblities for extensions under specific circumstances.) If you considered this as a method of long-term healthcare for you and your family, please note the 18 month drop-date and check with your previous employer for the details regarding your specific situation. COBRA does offer Self-Employed Health Insurance Coverage. You can get a free quote on the COBRA website.

NFL Q&A with Allen and The Ace is a weekly column featured on TJRsports.com. Allen and The Ace are big time NFL junkies and are Falcon and Packer fans, respectively. Each week the guys will ask questions and discuss the previous week's games along with picking the Top 5 Games of the Week!
You can follow Allen on Twitter @Allen_Strk and The Ace @TheAce18
Ace: It's good to be back. I'm relaxed, refreshed and rejuvenated. I'm also married and feel so adult. I was able to watch about 10 minutes of football during my wedding weekend but was able to watch a majority of the Patriots/Bengals game at a small sports bar in the Dominican Republic. It was pretty rad. About 12 to 15 other people from all over the United States surrounded me. There were fans of the Vikings, Patriots, Steelers, Dolphins, Lions and more. I was able to watch some NFL action over this past weekend but have been under the weather. I'm looking forward to this coming weekend because I fully intend on devote my entire Sunday to watching as much football as I possibly can. I'm glad to be back writing with you pal. Also, a big thank you to our buddy Mike Ayers for filling in for me the last two weeks. You guys did an awesome job!
Allen: It's great to have you back, Ace. This was a dull week of football to say the least. The highlight for me had to be Mike McCoy being a genius and the odd conservative play calling from Indianapolis. The Patriots comeback was pretty insane, although Rob Ryan's facial expression was even more enjoyable. I'm not sure what happened to New Orleans' killer instinct playing it safe like that offensively. That was unlike Sean Payton, who is always aggressive as a play caller. New Orleans still remains to be a top team in the NFC, but they can't be that conservative and completely rely on their defense. The defense has improved, but you can't give an elite quarterback like Tom Brady so many chances.
Ace: Last week you and Mike discussed your beloved Falcons and their struggles. This week I would love to bring up my beloved Green Bay Packers, for the first time this season while writing this article! Last week the Packers lost Nick Perry to a foot injury, Randall Cobb and James Jones to knee/leg injuries. While Jones could be suiting up this Sunday, the other two won't be ready until late November at the earliest. These injuries are eerily similar to the 2010 Packers who had 14 guys on IR and still won the Super Bowl. I've been impressed with their defense the last two weeks.
If their offense can start to click, are the Green Bay Packers a threat in the NFC or is it still San Francisco or Seattle's conference to lose?
Allen: The Packers still remain to be a threat, but nothing has changed from August. They are still in the background when people discuss who is going to represent the NFC in the Super Bowl. Seattle has lived up to the hype so far and New Orleans has emerged as a true contender. While San Francisco had some early season struggles, they are starting to get into a groove. Once Michael Crabtree comes back, the offense will be more explosive. Those are the three teams that I see as a threat in the NFC over Green Bay.
Green Bay has proven to be resilient so far this season, but the injuries are pretty significant. The pass rush is a major question mark without Matthews and Perry for at least the next month. I've been impressed by the secondary this season for the most part limiting A.J Green and Torrey Smith. They'll need to continue their strong play by forcing coverage sacks.
Cobb is a massive loss based on being Aaron Rodgers' favorite target and being a dual threat offensively. This isn't a season changer like the Julio Jones injury from last week. Green Bay has so many weapons in their offense and now looks to have a running game for the first time in years. Eddie Lacy has been carrying the load and has lived up to the hype so far. A consistent running game makes the Packers offense even more lethal. It's hard enough to stop Aaron Rodgers when he's not using play action. Now teams will have to start respecting the Packers running game, which will lead to more success using play action.
NFL Story of the Week
In our NFL Preview, a team that you had as the second seed in the AFC and I had in as the third seed was the Houston Texans. The Texans sit at 2-4, losing four straight after coming from behind to defeat the Chargers in Week 1 and escaping the Titans in overtime Week 2. Three of their last four losses have been by 21, 31 and 25 points. The fans recently cheered quarterback Matt Schaub, when he went down with an injury against the Rams. Is it the quarterback position, coaching or something else that seems to be the problem in Houston and can they turn it around before the ship sinks?
Ace: I've been on the Texans bandwagon for a few years now, but I'm not sure what was more putrid, the team's performance on Sunday or the fans cheering Matt Schaub's injury? This is a team that has all the potential in the world, but for some reason nothing is clicking. They have no major injuries, aside from Owen Daniels on IR designated for return and Danieal Manning. Arian Foster has 531 yards and one touchdown on 117 carries. Andre Johnson has 495 yards and no touchdowns on 44 receptions and very quietly 2nd year man Whitney Mercilus has 4.5 sacks.
Looking at it, it should all be Matt Schaub's fault. He's the quarterback and leader. I don't think that's entirely true. He's definitely part of the blame but not all of it. He's been sacked 15 times this year and has thrown nine interceptions. Schaub has been pressured quite a bit this season, but some of the glaring numbers are that he's completed 64.4% of his passes and thrown for 1,552 yards and nine touchdowns. His completion percentage is higher than Aaron Rodgers (64.1%), Tom Brady (56.9%) and Eli Manning (53.7%).
Should the Texans bench Schaub? No, not yet. The season is still salvageable with games against Arizona, Oakland, Tennessee and two against Jacksonville. Even if they win those five games, it only puts them at seven wins. The rest of their schedule puts them at Kansas City this weekend, Indianapolis twice, New England, and Denver at Reliant Stadium. Out of those five games, can you find three wins? It's very tough seeing that outcome; they probably need to get to 10 wins to even sniff a playoff spot.
Anything can happen in the NFL with five divisional games left the Texans are very much alive, but they may be placed on life support with a loss to Kansas City on Sunday.
Allen: Other than the Falcons, nothing has shocked me more than Houston imploding. Aren't you supposed to take a step forward offensively, when your team upgrades the wide receiver position? Matt Schaub was taking some heat from critics, before the season had begun. It seems like ever since that loss to New England on Monday night last December, he hasn't recovered from that performance. Schaub was never a top quarterback, but he was efficient and proved to be more than just a game manager.
The turnovers are alarming and the crowd cheering about his injury is beyond pathetic. As for their issues, the quarterback play is an obvious issue. When Vince Young starts looking like a possible option, you know your season isn't going in the right direction. The defense can shoulder the blame as well being the sixth worst run defense in the league.
What Houston needs to go back to is running the ball more. This is the last year that Houston will have Ben Tate. You might as well get the most out of Tate, while paired with Arian Foster. Houston may have to run the ball 30 to 35 times a game to avoid turning the ball over through the air as much. It may hurt to do that, especially when you have a top receiver like Andre Johnson in your offense. They don't have a choice right now because the turnovers have truly derailed their chances to even stay competitive in games.
The defense is far from a liability, but they aren't the same elite unit from two years ago. We've seen some cracks despite Brian Cushing coming back this season. They have only forced three turnovers so far this season, which is unacceptable. This is a defense that's supposed to force quarterbacks into making mistakes or taking sacks. Neither of that has happened on a consistent basis this season. If Houston can start to win the turnover battle in games and run the ball more, they can salvage their season.
Allen: The New England Patriots have managed to fight through injuries, rookie mistakes, and a lack of running game. They are 5-1 and should be getting star tight end Rob Gronkowski back on Sunday.
Have you changed your stance with New England and now consider them a contender?
Ace: I still think they're a contender. When it comes to teams in the AFC, Denver is the favorite, while you have to think that 2a and 2b are the Patriots and Bengals. I do think New England's defense is a little bit more suspect than Cincinnati's, as they have played very well through the first six games, but I cannot count out Tom Brady.
I believe that we will see Tom Brady's completion percentage start to rise in the coming weeks with Gronkowski returning. He will no doubt be Brady's go to guy. I'm sure New England will drop a few games before the season ends, but I see no reason why this team won't win 12 games and win their division. I'm excited for the playoffs to begin because I know we'll see another epic Manning vs. Brady matchup. This time Captain Cool and his troops will march into Mile High and face Peyton in a similar climate that they have in Foxboro.
I've said it before and I will say it again. As long as Brady and Bill Belichick are together in New England, heck, if they leave New England and move to Jacksonville, I still won't count them out. They're one of the all time great head coach/quarterback parings ever.
Elite NFL Mind Challenge
Last week you and Mike (representing me) went 5-0! Big props to Mike for going 8-2 over my two-week hiatus. I'm not sure if I would have done any better! We are deadlocked at 19-11 for the season. Here are this week's picks!
The Ace's Picks
Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) vs. Detroit Lions (4-2)
This is a tough one to call. Cincinnati's defense has been great this season and they have a chance of having a big offensive game against Detroit. I have Cincinnati winning narrowly.
Winner: Cincinnati Bengals
Dallas Cowboys (3-3) vs. Philadelphia Eagles (3-3)
I agree that Dallas is better than their record, but not by much. I came into the season saying they'd win 5 games. They're on pace for 8. I think the Eagles take this one at home, especially with the absence of DeMarco Murray and DeMarcus Ware.
Winner: Philadelphia Eagles
Baltimore Ravens (3-3) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-4)
I believe that this is a do or die game for Pittsburgh and they will play their butts off. Big Ben escapes in a lower scoring affair.
Winner: Pittsburgh Steelers
Seattle Seahawks (5-1) vs. Arizona Cardinals (3-3)
This is the sneaky game where I think Arizona could pull it out. Arizona remains tough, but ultimately, Carson Palmer turning the ball over a couple times will be the difference.
Winner: Seattle Seahawks
Denver Broncos (6-0) vs. Indianapolis Colts (4-2)
Peyton returns to the house that be built and he will turn it into his personal play place once again.
Winner: Denver Broncos
Allen's Picks
Cincinnati Bengals (4-2) vs. Detroit Lions (4-2)
Both teams are looking pretty vulnerable, despite having solid records so far. I'm not sure who is going to stop A.J Green, as Detroit's secondary is clearly the Achilles heel to their defense. The status of Calvin Johnson's health is another massive question going into this game. Cincinnati seems like the more reliable pick here, even though you have to commend Detroit for the way they have played so far this season. It should be highly entertaining to watch two of the top defensive lines in the league play in the same game.
Winner: Cincinnati Bengals
Dallas Cowboys (3-3) vs. Philadelphia Eagles (3-3)
The injuries to DeMarcus Ware and DeMarco Murray are very concerning. Murray has quietly had a very good season after many people were questioning Dallas' running game going into the season. This will be a close game as you expect, but I'm still sticking with Dallas. With Murray out, you'll see Tony Romo air it out more this week. The play calling was odd on Sunday night, as they didn't attack Washington enough through the air. They'll do that this week against a horrendous Philadelphia defense and win in a shoot out.
Winner: Dallas Cowboys
Baltimore Ravens (3-3) vs. Pittsburgh Steelers (1-4)
Unless Baltimore can get the running game going, it's hard to see them win this game. Pittsburgh seems rejuvenated from the bye week and have developed a star in Antonio Brown. He's starting to become a matchup problem for just about every team in the league. The defense is starting to come alive and they'll harass Joe Flacco all day long.
Winner: Pittsburgh Steelers
Seattle Seahawks (5-1) vs. Arizona Cardinals (3-3)
I'm not giving up on Seattle because of their offense looking stagnant in recent weeks. Once Percy Harvin is healthy, they will be almost impossible to beat. This is a bad matchup for them going up against Arizona on a short week. Darnell Dockett and Calais Campbell are going to be in the backfield all night long against Seattle's below average offensive line. Don't expect much scoring in this one. I'm taking the upset, as I'm starting to become somewhat of a believer in Arizona after saying they would be the worst team in the NFC two months ago. My apologies to all Arizona fans.
Winner: Arizona Cardinals
Denver Broncos (6-0) vs. Indianapolis Colts (4-2)
You have to expect that Indianapolis will open up the playbook more. The play calling on Monday night was way too conservative against a weak San Diego defense. They'll need to air it out with Andrew Luck to stay on course with Denver. Von Miller makes his return and reminds people why he's still one of the best pass rushers in the league. Denver wins in the must-see Sunday night game.
Winner: Denver Broncos
Allen: This weekend features much better games on tap. Everyone will obviously be tuning into seeing Peyton Manning returning to Indianapolis. I'm not even going to bother getting into Jim Irsay trying to get personal with Manning. That whole situation is just silly and seems to be something that the media is attempting to build up.
As for the Monday night game, Adrian Peterson is playing in the game. That is enough of a sell to have my interest, especially with the great news of Minnesota starting Josh Freeman. I've always been a believer in Freeman and he should have an enjoyable night throwing against the Giants weak defense.
Ace: It should be an interesting game, but I do think the Giants will emerge from the game with a victory. I've been under the weather since last Sunday and didn't get to enjoy a lot of football action, hopefully I will shake this and be ready for 12 hours of action on Sunday.
We're slowly approaching the midway point of the season as we will revisit our predictions and we'll start to get a good idea of who is a threat and who is a bust. Thanks for reading! We will see you next week!

Jerry Sandusky's attorney was in court Monday in Centre County arguing for more details about the alleged victims in his child sex abuse case.
Sandusky was at home on house arrest where he awaits trial on more than 50 charges related to child sex abuse.
As his attorney put it, it was a "simplistic hearing," one of the reasons Sandusky did not need to be there.
His attorney was there, demanding more information from prosecutors about the alleged victims and when and where the alleged abuses happened.
"All we're saying to the commonwealth is, come on let's give Mr. Sandusky a better shake at this, a better opportunity to defend himself," said Sandusky's attorney Joe Amendola.
When the hearing in Bellefonte was over, Amendola continued making the case for the release of more specifics when it comes to his client's alleged victims.
The judge heard brief arguments from both Amendola and prosecutors and is expected to rule as early as this week.
Meanwhile, Amendola insists if the state attorney general's office can't provide more specific dates or locations for the alleged assaults, he will ask for a dismissal.
"We're going to ask the judge to dismiss the case. The defendant's right to due process under commonwealth constitution and U.S. Constitution is being vastly infringed upon," Amendola added.
"Mr. Amendola had plenty of opportunity to question these victims in a preliminary hearing. He waived that hearing and abandoned that right," said Joseph McGettigan of the Pennsylvania Attorney General's office.
Prosecutors claimed they have turned over a great deal of information already, but when it comes to remembering exactly when alleged victims say they were sexually abused by Sandusky.
"It's natural, quite natural, that both the passage of time and nature of events, to which these children at the time were subjected, would cause those recollections to be suppressed by natural desire," added McGettigan.
According to attorneys, Jerry Sandusky is still expected to go to trial in mid-May.
At the same time as that hearing Monday, the Penn State Board of Trustees again released a statement justifying the firings of the university's former president and late football coach Joe Paterno.
Although the board apologized for the way the coach's firing was handled, students are again outraged over this latest development.
Students at Penn State who were trying to put a sex abuse scandal and the subsequent fallout behind them were dealing with it once again.
Four months after the scandal led to the firing of the university's legendary football coach, the board of trustees was justifying its actions.
"We determined that his (Paterno's) decision to do his minimum legal duty and not to do more to follow up constituted a failure of leadership by coach Paterno," said the board.
The board apologized for the decision to fire Paterno by phone but said considering the media circus that night it had, "no better alternative."
For decades Joe Paterno was revered and respected, not only at PSU and but entire state of Pennsylvania. After his death, a mural's artist placed a halo over JoePa's head. A lot of students on campus feel the board of trustees acted irrationally, firing Joe Paterno by phone.
"It's kind of like adding salt to the wound. No reason on March 12 we should be getting justification for firing of Joe Paterno, should have been sent to us November 10," said PSU student Karisa Maxwell.
"It's definitely too little too late. They should have done this months ago before it even came out he had health problems," said student Andrew Goodyear.
"The way they did it after all those years, apology is really not all that sincere," said student Aida Caluk.
Soon after, Paterno's family responded to the board's apology saying, "The latest statement is yet another attempt by the board to deflect the criticism of their leadership by trying to focus the blame on Joe Paterno. This is not fair to Joe's legacy, it is not consistent with the facts and it does not serve the best interests of the university."

Beef Quality Assurance
The New Mexico Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) Program provides beef and dairy producers with the necessary training materials to meet the requirements for becoming either New Mexico BQA Trained Producers or New Mexico BQA Certified Producers.
Consumers are concerned about the quality of the food they eat. The perception of safety and wholesomeness plays a major role in the buying decisions of a health- and diet-conscious America. The New Mexico BQA Program asks producers, veterinarians, and all others involved in the production of beef to use common sense, reasonable management skills and accepted scientific knowledge to avoid defects in the product we deliver to the consumer.
Beef Quality Assurance Training Module
If you are becoming "Trained" as a BQA producer for the first time you must take a written test to show that you understand the principles relating to Beef Quality Assurance. This test will be administered by the staff at your local County Extension Office.
Upon satisfactorily passing the test, you will receive a certificate from the New Mexico Cooperative Extension Service designating you as a New Mexico BQAU Trained Producer.
To become a New Mexico BQA Certified Producer, you must document a valid Vertinarian/Client/Patient Relationship (VCPR) by obtaining a vertinarian's signature on the appropriate VCPR document.

Reviewer: James van Maanen
Rating (out of five): ***
Peter Mullan is a wonderful actor (The Red Riding Trilogy, Boy A, Children of Men) and a good writer/director (Orphans, The Magdalene Sisters and now, NEDS -- which stands for Non-Educated Delinquents.
Although his latest film -- which deals, and very well, with the smarter, younger son of a dysfunctional family who gets slowly sucked into "gang" life -- was part of this year's Tribeca Film Festival line-up, it did not get much, if any, of a theatrical release. It is, however, certainly worth seeing, which makes its recent DVD debut appreciated, despite a major flaw in the film.The first half is terrific: dynamic, funny, surprising and beautifully acted by all. We'd expect this from Mullan, who's proven himself a consistently fine actor who now turns occasionally to writing and directing and who certainly seems to know this particular milieu like the back of his hand.
Kids, and all the various trouble they can get up to, are like catnip to the filmmaker, and here, he is dealing with an extremely bright boy who sees the system set against him early on. As his anger builds, he finds some interesting and creative ways to use it, and it is here that Mullan as writer and director succeeds best: letting us see how this behavior crests and breaks, along with all the collateral damage it can finally do.
As the movie proceeds however, it becomes, as does its lead character (played by fine newcomers Greg Forrest, as the young lad, and Conor McCarron, as the beefy, older boy), more and more overwrought. This leads to, I am afraid, redemption spelled in big, block letters, making for a heavy-duty finale, which is more than this generally realistic and pleasurably small movie can bear.
Still, I'd love to learn what happens to this young man, after said event. Maybe there'll be a chapter two, and if so, I'll be there to see it. DVD includes some deleted scenes as a bonus.

People in Kashmir remained indoors on the country's 64th Republic Day, owing to a call by separatists and restrictions by government in some parts of the state's summer capital, Srinagar.
All wireless telecommunication networks, including mobile connectivity, were suspended in the morning without any notice or warning by the service providers. Authorities said the networks were jammed as a precautionary measure. The service was restored in the afternoon.The state-level function for Republic Day, meanwhile, was organised at the state's winter capital, Jammu, and was attended by chief minister Omar Abdullah and the governor.
In Srinagar, the Republic Day function passed off peacefully at the heavily-guarded Bakshi stadium where rural development Minister Ali Muhammad Sagar took the salute amid an audience of around 300 people.
The minister reiterated the call of chief minister Omar Abdullah for separatists to join dialogue. He denounced gun culture, saying it has 'only brought destruction to this place (Kashmir)'. "No issue can be solved by guns," Sagar said in his speech at the stadium, which was sealed days ahead of the function. Civilian movement in the area was heavily restricted.
