TODAY's Takeaway: Savannah shares her mom's lessons; 10 sibs spring Mother's Day surprise
1. As Mother's Day approaches, mom-to-be Savannah Guthrie shared on her maternity blog, she has found herself thinking about all the things her mother did for her and her sister, who became a mother herself a year ago.
So Savannah decided to honor her mom with something more than flowers this year: a listicle entitled "23 lessons my mom taught me about raising a child."
2. Registered nurse Linda Mochel works night shifts at a South Bend, Ind., hospital so she can stay home during the day to take care of her children. But four of her 10 kids, who range in age from 10 to 31, live out of state, and she doesn't get to see them very often.
So when TODAY sprang a surprise on her at work as part of the show's week-long "Mom's the Word" celebration — gathering all 10 of her children and her two grandkids to wish her a happy Mother's Day, as well as giving her a new car — Linda was tearful. "I'm shocked," she said, before telling her kids and grandkids, "I love you guys with all my heart."

5. "It's time to burn the beret and bury the blue dress," Monica Lewinsky, now 40, writes in Vanity Fair about her affair with President Bill Clinton. In it she describes the long-lasting impact the scandal has had on her life, such as her struggle to convince potential employers that she won't be a liability because of her name recognition.
In TODAY's Take Wednesday, Tamron Hall noted the irony of "how this has played out in history: Bill Clinton at his most popular right now, and Monica Lewinsky unable to get a job."
Willie Geist and Natalie Morales also expressed sympathy for Lewinsky. "Bill Clinton paid, in real time, paid a price. There was an impeachment vote," Willie pointed out. "But in the long term, clearly she's paid the higher price."

Inside the bizarre world of Huguette Clark: Explosive biography reveals how reclusive heiress spent thousands dressing dolls in designer clothes and building model castles
A sensational new book is set to reveal the tragic, bizarre life of the reclusive heiress Huguette Clark.
Written by a distant relative Paul Clark Newel Jr and Pulitzer Prize-winning investigative journalist Bill Dedman, the biography offers tantalizing details about the French-born multimillionaire who was fixated on life-like dolls and building miniature castles - often splashing out thousands of dollar to realize her visions.
Miss Clark spent the last 20 years of her life living at Beth Israel Medical Center until she died in 2011 aged 104.
Trappings of wealth: The reclusive heiress Huguette Clark died at 104 after spending the last 20 years of her life in hospital. An explosive new book reveals details about her strange life (right)
A battle over her $300million fortune is currently raging between her distant family and lawyer, doctor and former employees
One example of typical excess from the early life of Miss Clark came when her mother sold a painting her daughter took a deep dislike to in order to help a struggling musician.
'Madame Cezanne in Red Dress' by Paul Cezanne terrified the young Huguette so much so that she rarely stepped foot out of her bedroom once her mother Anna E. Clark hung it in their 42-room, Fifth Avenue apartment, according to the New York Post.
Family of fortune: Ms Clark, right, as a child in 1917 with her wealthy father and her sister Andree
According to the new biography, widowed Mrs Clark solved the problem in 1945 when acclaimed cellist Robert Maas came seeking her help.
Maas wanted to form a string quartet but could not afford instruments. He told the wealthy widow of four rare Stradivarius violins languishing in a Manhattan store which could only be purchased as a group.
Mrs Clark promptly snatched the Cezanne masterpiece from the wall and had her driver take her to an art gallery where she sold the painting and then paid $200,000 ($2.6million today) for the violins.
Masterpiece: Madame Cezanne in a Red Dress by Cezanne once hung on the wall of the Clarks' Fifth Avenue home
The generous donation led to the formation of the Paganini Quartet, a renowned classical violinists which became famous the world over.
Such lavish spending became commonplace in the life of Huguette Clark, turning her adult-life into a strange place filled with childhood obsessions.
She spent millions of dollars building up a collection of rare French and Japanese dolls.
According to the Post, one of the few people who visited Clark at her apartments in the 1950s said that a long gallery was lined with dolls, each seated on its own sumptuous armchair.
One of Ms Clark's few outings was to attend Christian Dior fashion shows in order to find clothes to dress her dolls.
The heiress was also obsessed with building miniature models.
A lover of Japanese culture, although she never traveled, Clark paid for someone to travel to Japan to photograph and note the specifications of the castles she wanted to build from the confines of her mansion.
Last month, papers filed in Manhattan Surrogate Court revealed disturbing details in the battle over Miss Clark's fortune.
According to the papers seen by the New York Post, the heiress was mumbling incoherently and unable to hold the pen when she signed her $300million fortune away to her lawyer, doctor and employees.
Clark's relatives are opposing Bock's motion that the will was properly executed and she knew what she was doing when she signed it.
Empty Mansions: The Mysterious Life of Huguette Clark and the Spending of a Great American Fortune is out on September 10.

Joe Paterno's Family Responds to Penn State
Joe Paterno's family has decided to defend the charges and accusations presented against the former Penn State coach in regards to a cover-up of actions by former assistant coach Jerry Sandusky. The university hired former FBI director Louis J. Freeh to conduct a thorough investigation of the school after allegations about Sandusky came to the surface. Freeh's study, released July 12 of last year, concluded that several individuals including former university president Graham Spanier, athletic director Tim Curley, former vice president Gary Schultz and Paterno were involved with a cover-up of allegations that the former defensive coordinator Sandusky sexually abused several young boys.
In response, the Paterno family asked their law firm, King and Spalding of Washington, D.C. to investigate the Freeh Report. Former Attorney General Richard Thornburgh along with a strong team of experts completed a document called, The Rush To Injustice Regarding Joe Paterno. In the report, Thornburgh states,
"The lack of factual support for the [Freeh report's] inaccurate and unfounded findings related to Mr. Paterno and its numerous process-oriented deficiencies call into question the credibility of the entire report. In my opinion, the Freeh report is seriously flawed, both with respect to the process of [its] investigation and its findings related to Mr. Paterno … There was just a rush to injustice."
Quite frankly, I am irritated by the whole thing. With all due respects to the Paterno family, they've ignored the biggest losers in this case, the victims of Sandusky. Let's not make Paterno some bystander that had no knowledge of things. The school did its due diligence in investigating this case. It wasn't like they rushed to judgment or tried to slander Paterno. He was as much a part of that university as any coach has ever been. I certainly respect the family's need to have closure to the whole situation, but in the court of public opinion he already has lost. Even if his name is cleared and the Freeh Report was totally inaccurate, many of us will still doubt Paterno. And this doubt didn't start last July.
Do you believe Paterno is innocent here? Or do you think that he's guilty of a cover-up. Either way we'd love to know what you think. Comment below and give us your thoughts.

Swifts Creek DPI jobs to stay
Former Department of Primary Industries (DPI) staff based in Swifts Creek will not be forced to relocate to larger offices to continue their roles.
- Print page

The DPI announced almost a year ago plans to relocate three staff from a Department of Sustainability (DSE) managed office in Swifts Creek to larger offices in either Bairnsdale or Lakes Entrance.
However, the newly formed Department of Environment and Primary Industries (DEPI) has confirmed that relocating the staff at the Swifts Creek office is no longer being considered.
There was also a cloud of uncertainty hanging over some positions in Traralgon and Bairnsdale, but jobs at both offices are also secure.
DEPI Regional Services Deputy Secretary, Bernie O'Sullivan says the decision was reviewed after the departments of sustainability and environment and primary industries merged to form DEPI in April.
"We've reviewed the site consolidation program that the former DPI had instituted last year which was about reducing overheads in some pretty difficult budgetary times and also trying to enhance professional development by grouping staff together at larger offices," he says.
Mr O'Sullivan says the new department has been given a "clear mandate to boost service delivery to regional communities".
"We're a new department (with) a new focus. The best decision is to leave those staff in those offices delivering results for the community."
Chair of the Swifts Creek Residents Action Group Stephen Richardson welcomes the decision.
"It's great news," he says.
"Luckily all the families that were involved are still in the area."
He says all services are of value in the region.
"It's one small win we've had. We value every person in our community and we'll fight to keep them here," he says.

Budget cuts mean less social housing tenants will now have insulation work funded
Damian Fantato, Council Reporter, also covering Oxford city centre. Call me on 01865 425429 / / News
THE NUMBER of social housing tenants set to benefit from energy-saving insulation work has dropped by 90 per cent.
Changes to how projects are funded means that only 990 homes have been recommended to benefit from home improvements such as insulation and boiler replacements.
A report on fuel poverty put together for Oxfordshire County Council's health improvement partnership board says that under previous programmes, 9,832 households received energy efficiency measures in a year.
Housing support worker Debbie Hollingsworth, 49, who lives near Kidlington, is on the city council's housing waiting list.
She said: "During the colder months people really struggle with having to put more money in the meter.
"A lot of people are in private accommodation so they've got no control over things like insulation and it is down to their landlord. Even if they say it will be free a lot of landlords cannot be bothered with all the stuff involved."
The current funding scheme, Energy Companies Obligation (ECO), is an energy efficiency programme introduced last year.
It places legal obligations on the larger energy suppliers to provide energy efficiency measures to customers. The programme can pay for work like boiler replacements and loft and cavity wall insulation in social housing.
Promoted stories
But under the ECO scheme, there have only been 990 homes recommended, with the report suggesting that uptake of these recommendations is very low.
The new set-up replaced the Government-funded Community Energy Saving Programme and Carbon Emissions Reduction Target, which both ended in 2012.
City councillor John Tanner, the executive board member for cleaner, greener Oxford, said: "Under this Government it has got tougher and tougher for householders to insulate their homes and that is regrettable.
"What the government has done is said that energy companies have a responsibility to invest money in measures which save carbon dioxide but because of the terms of the obligation in Oxford we find it almost impossible to get hold of that money."
Tim Nicholson and his wife Joanne, who spent £60,000 converting their 1960s house in Benson Place into a carbon neutral one, say insulating homes can massively reduce bills.
Mr Nicholson said: "My understanding is that there is less funding available and it is a very narrow group of people who will benefit. It is absolutely crazy. Insulating our homes is one of the most positive energy-saving measures that we can do and is relatively cheap."
A spokesman for the Department for Energy and Climate Change said: "ECO scheme began in January 2013 and under Government's proposals will continue to run at least until 2017.
"We are committed to maintaining ECO support for the fuel poor at their current ambitious levels."

Though she seemed reluctant to make a way back, she's begun to advertise her return.
"The time has finally arrived tweeps! I'm heading to film BBW5 Miami!! ***Let us pray***" she wrote.
The show is still moving along with ease without her, but since making her exit, Evelyn has undergone some 'treatment' with life coach Iyanla Vanzant.
Hopefully her therapy will work for this season. We shall see.

Review: BandFuse: Rock Legends
Nov 29
// Ian Bonds
BandFuse: Rock Legends (PlayStation 3, Xbox 360 [reviewed])Developer: Realta Entertainment GroupPublisher: Mastiff GamesRelease Date: November 19, 2013MSRP: $69.99 (Artist Pack: game + 1/4" to USB guitar cable), $79.99 (Band Pack: 2 guitar cables, mic, 4-port USB hub, acoustic guitar adapter - game NOT included), $179.99 (Guitar Bundle - Guitar Center Exclusive: game, guitar cable, & Fender Squire Bullet guitar) All right, so we know that this isn't the only game out there that wants to teach you how to play guitar with a real instrument. Plenty of games have tried this approach, with only one really having any great success with it. So, what is it that BandFuse does differently? For starters, the layout is much more user-friendly. Rather than having the note highway diagonally, or seemingly flying at you, the fretboard looks as though you're looking straight at your guitar. Simple number icons and colors on each string are used to determine which finger and which fret you use, as everything is set up in standard tablature. The game is built with the beginner in mind. There are a series of video tutorials, led by the games "mentors," such as Slash, Bootsy Collins, Zakk Wylde, and more that walk the player through even the most basic of steps. And while some of the lessons may only seem as though they're reading the key points off a cue card (and Slash mostly seems like he's barely interested in being a teacher), these are still valuable skills for beginners like me. For those more familiar with the guitar who want to improve their chops, the difficulty can be increased through five different levels of skill. I will admit, however, that there is a bit of a learning curve from beginner to the next, but the game caters to all skill types. The tutorial videos are the biggest help here, and can of course be revisited if you're not quite moving with the pace or need refreshers on terminology or technique. As I said, however, there is a bit of a noticeable jump between difficulties. While the beginner mode is great for a guy like me, for an intermediate player, transitioning to one of the harder difficulties can be more taxing than anticipated, as they throw a lot more notes your way. Still, there's more than just tutorials. If you just want to play songs, there's plenty to chose from here, and plenty of ways to play them. Shred U is where most of your lessons lie, but there's a whole career mode to play through, where you begin as an opening act all the way through headliner. You can even play this multiplayer, hooking up multiple guitars, bass, and even vocals. The vocal sections are especially of interest, as these can be done solo as well (for a whole karaoke take on the game) as well as essentially being a borrowed asset for the game. That's right, the vocal note detection and regestration of those notes is the same technique developed by Harmonix for its Rock Band games here, and Realta has licensed it for use in BandFuse. Very cool. Beyond that, there's the Lick Lab, which allows you to dissect any song into as many parts necessary to learn how to play it. There's even a section for true virtuosos that provides a wide variety of generic backing tracks for several musical genres that allows you to play along as you see fit. The thing that most impressed me with this title is the attention to detail as far as sound is concerned. Realta has made sure that latency and lag will not be an issue, and the accuracy and responsiveness of the game was a constant treat. There's even an adapter for the Xbox 360 version (included with the package) that connects to the back of the system allowing for sound to pass through to your TV or sound system -- or even directly to headphones -- to ensure an accurate response. This is only necessary if your set up is connected primarily via HDMI, as there tends to be latency issues with sound via that single connection. It's impressive to see a game such as this, focused on not only teaching you how to play guitar, but also how to have fun with it. The multiplayer extensions are a blast (if you have that many guitars, or friends that can play), and the karaoke and backing track selections can really further the creativity. While the jumps in difficulty can be drastic at the higher levels, there's still plenty of ways to adapt, and BandFuse surprises at each step.

Preview: Learn to play guitar with BandFuse: Rock Legends
Feb 22
// Bob Muir
BandFuse: Rock Legends (Xbox 360) Developer: Realta Entertainment Group Publisher: Mastiff Games Release: 2012 I'm no rock expert; my guitar experience begins with playing very simple bass guitar parts in a high school rock band and ends with an embarrassing amount of hours put into Rock Band. Luckily for me, Flixist's Max Roahrig knows his way around the strings, so we were able to test out how BandFuse works for both neophytes and experts. The first thing I noticed when playing BandFuse is how simple the game's fretboard is. Instead of trying to skew the perspective to simulate a vertical fretboard, all the notes flow horizontally from right-to-left. It wasn't until I had played a song that I realized how much this reminded me of guitar tabs, albeit professionally made instead of some fan-made approximation. It felt extremely natural and easy to read. All the current graphics are placeholders, so the layout could still change, but the scrolling tabs seem near-finished. The developers seem to recognize that when it comes to visualizing notes, simpler is always better. That doesn't mean there isn't still a bit of a learning curve to understand the tabs. As an unskilled bassist, my mind just doesn't "get" chords. So when they popped up in a song, I generally hit the first chord, then flailed around on the strings until some single notes started popping up again. However, this seems like something that would go away with just a little practice. Conversely, Max was able to jump right into Judas Priest's "Breaking the Law" and hit most of the notes, chords included. Up to this point, we had stuck to the lower difficulty levels. The lowest level greatly simplifies the tabs, reducing riffs to just one note and removing chords entirely. The next level adds chords in, but still keeps you from getting in over your head. Curious to see how far the difficulty went, we bumped the difficulty up to the highest level, which included every note as far as I could tell. Higher difficulties also mix in palm-mutes and whammy bars, even noting how long you should bend the note. The added complexity could be overwhelming for those just learning to play, but the finished product will have a feature that allows you to slow down, speed up, and loop sections of the song, helping you figure out a tricky part. And if there's one section you just can't seem to get, you don't need to worry about failing out. For now, BandFuse has no "crowd meter" which will kick you out of a song before it ends. In fact, if you really want to, you can ignore the tabs, turn down the guitar track, and just freestyle. It's less about beating a song to get a high score and more about absorbing the technique. Realta is aiming for a set list of around 55 songs, with the usual mix of rock, metal, alternative, and pop rock. Some of the songs we got to play with included "The Bleeding" (Five Finger Death Punch), "Harder to Breathe" (Maroon 5), "Yellow" (Coldplay), "Sweet Home Alabama" (Lynyrd Skynyrd), and "Back from Cali" (Slash). That last song may be one of many from Slash, as he is involved with the game beyond just licensing a track. Slash is serving as the game's musical instructor, guiding the player through the game and providing advice on how to rock. There's still some room for improvement, however. Currently, feedback on how you're playing is very minimal. I'm not saying that BandFuse needs more bars and combo meters, but some confirmation that you're playing great would be nice. There's an electric effect that shows up when you play a note correctly, but it appears once you've completed the note. Realta wants to show that you've nailed the note, and that's a great idea for all the notes you hold longer than one second, but it can throw you off when the electrical effect shows up on a string the moment you start playing the next note on a different string. Of course, the game is in an extremely early state, and for now we're essentially judging the concept and the technology, and that technology is impressive. Something I didn't consider until it was pointed out to me is that there is no lag, or at least no perceptible lag. Deciding to test out this statement, I played a few fast notes, and sure enough, they played instantly in the game, even with added effects like distortion, chorus, and reverb. Compared to the noticeable lag while singing or performing a drum solo in Rock Band, this was quite magical. A lot of things are up in the air for BandFuse. It's being developed on Xbox 360, and there is a desire to port it to different systems, but no confirmation yet. A bundle with a guitar and the necessary adapter could be in the works, as Fender is a partner, but it's too early to talk release plans. Multiplayer will be present in some form, though it's unknown how it will be implemented. Most tantalizing is the hint of playing additional instruments like a USB microphone -- lyrics appear at the top of the screen, screaming out for some notes -- but there are no announcements for now. Still, the core game looks promising. Out of all the games which promise to teach you music, this one felt the most natural to me. Anyone interested in learning to play guitar should keep an eye on BandFuse.
I wasn't quite sure what to expect when I was invited to see a new, previously unannounced music game. Internet hyperbole states that music games, or rather rhythm games involving guitars, are dead, killed by over-satura...

O+ Air confirmed; specs and price revealed
We just got a confirmation of the newest flagship phone from O+, the very first octacore smartphone from the company. Dubbed the O+ Air, the handset also boast as the thinnest octacore smartphone released in the Philippines.
At 6.8mm, the O+ Air is one of the thinnest handsets ever released in the Philippines. The unibody design is constructed using a very thin aluminum frame.
O+ Air specs:
5-inch LUMI Display @ 720×1280 pixels, 320ppi
Mediatek MT6592 1.7GHz octa-core CPU
Mali 450-MP quad-core Graphics
8GB internal storage
up to 32GB via microSD card (8GB Sandisk included)
3G, Quadband GSM
Dual-SIM (regular SIM + micro-SIM slot)
WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
Bluetooth 4.0
FM radio tuner
GPS with aGPS support
13MP rear camera with LED flash
5MP front-facing camera
Li-Ion 2,000mAh battery
Android 4.4 Kitkat
O+ managed to get Kitkat pre-installed on the handset right out of the box. The biggest drawback when you have a handset as thin as the O+ Air is that it will be out of space for more battery.
The O+ Air is now available in O+ stores in Metro Manila, currently selling at an introductory price of Php13,995 (though they claim the SRP will be pegged at Php15,995).
