Low support in state House for PSU BOT changes

Written By: Marc Stempka
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. -- A constant talking point surrounding Penn State University is the cries, and in some cases demands, for change in the makeup of the school's board of trustees. Within the past year two state legislators have proposed bills to bring change, but in at least one house of the General Assembly, the support may not be there.
The two bills proposed last year by state senators called for the board of trustees to be downsized, with the hopes of a smaller board being more engaged in operations, but in the state House, some aren't as interested.
Former state Sen. Robert Jubelirer said the legislation is at least a starting point.
"It's an important beginning," Jubelirer said. "It changes the composition of the board of trustees. It reduces it from 30 people to 23 voting members. It provides the way it's done, it does it in a fair way."
At least 40 state senators have signed on as a co-sponsor for the reform measure, but in the state House, previous trustee reform proposals have stalled, with some leaders saying change needs to come from within.
"Penn State's charter has change over the years and our role in that has diminished significantly," Rep. Kerry Benninghoff, of Centre County, said. "While we have, I believe five or six appointees to that board, most legislators I think believe that is a decision that needs to be done by the trustees and their alumni."
Trustees have said they have made some internal changes in recent years, but the size of the board remains a point of debate.
"I don't think everybody is going to be totally happy," Benninghoff said. "I think you could cut the board in half and somebody's going to want to cut it again. Some want more student appointees, it's some of those things at the end of the day the university has to run and they [have] to make some decisions."
The trustees have hired a consultant to talk about reform and governance issues.
Benninghoff said he continues to sponsor separate legislation that would reform the commonwealth's right to know laws to include Penn State and other state schools. A hearing on that is expected later this year.

Joe Amendola
Joseph L. Amendola is Jerry Sanduskys defense attorney.
He established a private law practice in 1982 and has defended many high profile cases in Centre County. Since Sanduskys arrest Amendola has argued the 52-counts of abuse charges against his client are not specific enough to take to trial. Amendola has said that Sandusky is innocent of the charges, and that he flat out denies any sexual conduct and the allegations of prolonged abuse. Amendola said some of the acts described by victims -- like touching or naked shared showers -- might have been misinterpreted by the alleged victims.

Beware of Diet Soda! I find that Diet Cola and other diet sodas give me the munchies. It's because of the artificial sweeteners (like aspartame) in them! Also, they tend to give you a bloated stomach and help you hang onto belly fat. Try eliminating them and you'll FEEL and LOOK so much better. I was drinking 5 cans of diet cola a day and now I am down to NONE. One little change - and I'm saving money too because diet soda is expensive and WATER is free!!
I am not going to be so rigid that I never eat chocolate again, or pop/soda, or ice cream, nor any of the other food items I like. There are healthy alternatives such as a McDonald's ice cream cone, a piece of dark chocolate (I like Lindor Dark Chocolate truffles) and diet sodas. I will not stick to a diet, but making a lifestyle change I'll have a better chance of succeeding.
Just don't drink it! Diet or Regular it is just nasty and a bad habit. I challenge soda drinkers to write down the ingredients and then research what they are and what they do to your body. One key point I want to make is Diet is not better for you than regular. Diet soda is just as likely to cause health issues, like diabetes, as regular soda. Educate yourself!
Diet soda is nothing but trouble, especially for those of us who become addicted. 234

How are Green Country schools handling all these snow days?
After a couple of winter storms, students in Green Country have been able to enjoy a few snow days this school year. But many schools are close to using up all of the snow days originally built into their academic calendars.
Tulsa Public Schools built five snow days into its calendar before the year began. As of Monday, February 3rd - those days have been used up. But TPS spokesman Chris Payne said Friday the district officials aren't concerned.
"We are really comfortable with the position that we are in," he said. "Then we do have the flexibility if we would need to, we would add hours to the school day, or we could add days if we need to. But we feel pretty good about the position that we are in."
Officials have said in the past if more than five days are used, President's Day, an in-service day for teachers, and a teacher-parent conference day could be turned into full school days.
Information below was updated Monday, Feb. 3:
-- Muskogee Public Schools administrators canceled classes seven times this year due to winter weather. Because of that, from Jan. 6 until March 14, 25 minutes have been added to the elementary and junior high school days. The school days at Muskogee High will run 26 minutes longer. Classes will begin 10 minutes early and the final bell will ring 15 minutes later than usual for elementary and junior high students, 16 minutes later than usual at the high school.
-- Jenks Public Schools have burned through five winter weather and the system doesn't have any remaining. A spokeswoman with Jenks schools said if more snow days happen, time could be added to the remaining school days or some off days could be turned into school days. An exact plan would be determined if needed.
-- Claremore Public School students have been given five days off because of winter weather this year. The administration office told 2NEWS that Martin Luther King Jr. day will now be a school day. It is possible that students will also be in the classroom on President's Day.
-- Bartlesville Public Schools has already used all four inclement weather days built into this year's academic calendar. If additional days are used, the school year will begin adding days after Memorial Day for each additional snow day.
-- Owasso, like TPS, has no snow days remaining and will be adding days or hours if they go over.
-- Sapulpa's doing just fine, with a whopping 10 built-in snow days. So far, the district has only used five.

i had my period on march 16
it lasted 5 days
im trying to figure out when i ovulate
i took 3 ovulating test the past 3 days but i keep getting a negative result
keep testing, if you are "normal" you should O around the 29th or 30th
oh ok thanks
i have been using the target brand ones
are the digital ones better to use
i have been testing at around 6 or 630 pm
ya my periods have been on time like between 26 & 28 days cycles
You may need to test twice a day (around 2pm and 7pm) to catch your surge. Once you get a positive test, you will ovulate 12-48 hours later. And it may take a couple months for you to determine a pattern, if your cycles aren't "perfect".
Good luck!
i did start to feel a little cramping last night
but nothing today so far

The dark mass off the coast of California is expected to bring heavy rains, flash floods and strong winds beginning at midnight Friday and running through Saturday morning. / Provided/NWS
By midnight tonight, a massive storm front will move into the Central Coast, prompting the National Weather Service to issue just about every warning in its tool chest.
The first thing residents will notice is the wind. By 10 p.m. there will be sustained winds of 20 to 30 miles per hour blowing into Monterey Bay and into the Salinas Valley. Gusts are expected to hit 45 mph. Gusts to 55 mph are expected along the coast.
At nearly 5 p.m. the large, dense rainstorm system can be seen on satellite imagery bearing down on the California coast. Its size could nearly cover Colorado, Nebraska, New Mexico and Arizona combined. It will produce heavy rains at times, with the heaviest downpours forecast for early Friday morning and then again Friday evening into Saturday morning.
A flash-flood watch is in effect for the Big Sur region, particularly in the vicinity of the Pfeiffer Fire burn scar. Mud slides are possible along Highway 1 as several inches of rain will fall in the coastal hills above the highway.
The incoming storm is expected to produce big seas and a high surf advisory is in effect from San Francisco southward along the Monterey County coast from 8 p.m. Friday through 3 p.m. Saturday. Swells in the open ocean could reach 16 feet with local breakers hitting beaches up to 20 feet.
Showers will taper off during the day Saturday with dry weather moving in Sunday, according to the NWS.

WASHINGTON -- Both sides are saying it was a productive meeting after Florida Gov. Rick Scott sat down with the Obama administration's top health care official Monday to talk coverage, costs and Medicaid reforms.
Scott met with Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius to discuss the federal health law and two pending requests from Florida for changes to its Medicaid program.
Sebelius encouraged Scott to partner with Washington in setting up a new health insurance market for Florida. Scott pressed for approval of Florida's Medicaid requests. And the two discussed Scott's concerns about the cost of expanding Medicaid to cover more low-income people under the new health care law.
The Republican governor softened his criticism of so-called "Obamacare" after the election, saying he is willing to work with federal officials.

The national average salary for Engineering Project Managers is $85K per year; Chevron Corporation pays the most in this field, though, offering a median salary of $171K. Apple Computer, Inc, Schlumberger, and Jacobs Engineering Group Inc also offer top salaries for Engineering Project Managers. Workers at these firms can expect to earn about $138K, $133K, and $128K, respectively. This overview is based on answers to PayScale's salary questionnaire.

There are some Engineering Project Managers — though it's uncommon — that transition into VPs of Engineering, where earnings are an average $155K annually. An Engineering Senior Project Manager role is the most common promotion for Engineering Project Managers moving up the ladder, and pay for the position tends to be around the $117K mark. Another typical, albeit less common, transition for Engineering Project Managers is a Civil Engineer position, where earnings are usually $60K.
Survey results imply that Engineering Project Managers deploy a substantial tool kit of skills at work. Most notably, skills in Systems Engineering, Product Development, Budget Management, and Contractor Management are correlated to pay that is above average, with boosts between 5 percent and 15 percent. Skills that are correlated to lower pay, on the other hand, include AutoCAD, Microsoft Excel, and Microsoft Office. It is often found that people who know Engineering Design are also skilled in Budget Management.
Median of all compensation (including tips, bonus, and overtime) by years of experience.
Engineering Project Managers with a lot of experience tend to enjoy higher earnings. Salaries of relatively inexperienced workers fall in the neighborhood of $69K, but folks who have racked up five to 10 years see a notably higher median of $84K. The average pay reported by folks with 10 to 20 years of experience is around $97K. Engineering Project Managers who surpass 20 years on the job report pay that isn't as high as one would expect; the median compensation for this crowd sits around $109K.
For Engineering Project Managers, Houston provides a pay rate that is 25 percent greater than the national average. Engineering Project Managers will also find cushy salaries in Los Angeles (+14 percent), Denver (+7 percent), Boston (+6 percent), and Pittsburgh (+2 percent). Falling short of the national average by 14 percent, the area with the worst salaries is Cincinnati. Two other places where employers offer below-median salaries are Charlotte (6 percent less) and Chicago (2 percent less).

a holiday cocktail
Over the weekend we made pomegranate mimosas. This cocktail is perfect for entertaining, as it can be prepared ahead of time (I recommend making at least 15 minutes in advance; the flavor improves with a little extra time to mix).
Pomegranate Mimosas
2 cups pomegranate juice, chilled
6 ounces elderflower liqueur
1 bottle sparkling wine, chilled
Mix the pomegranate juice and elderflower liqueur in a pitcher. Add the sparkling wine. Pour into Champagne flutes or wine glasses and serve.
Makes 8 cocktails
The festive red color and the pomegranate flavor make these perfect for the holiday season.
This recipe is from the Park Avenue Potluck Celebrations, a cookbook that benefits The Society of Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

We had what was probably our best Thanksgiving ever; the day was relaxed from start to finish. I made what I pretty much always make. A brined turkey, cranberry sauce, gravy (made by my mother in law - I don't like gravy and don't know how to make it), cornbread-sausage stuffing, mashed potatoes, sweet potato souffle and green beans. For dessert, pumpkin pie and apple pie and cinnamon streusel ice cream. Everyone ate a lot of everything. There was play with hockey trading cards, stimulating conversation about travel, politics and aspects of life in China with our Chinese dinner guest.
The surprise of the day was Cal losing his first tooth. We'd had no indication it was even loose. He bit into a piece of salami and out it came, creating a fair amount of emotional turmoil. He decided to forgo putting it under his pillow - it made him too sad to think about having it taken away. And the thought of a tooth fairy sneaking into his room while he's sleeping was also just too much for him.
I hope your weekend is lovely! xoxo

The Grateful List
Each day my grateful list expands. Last week I was thankful for the evergreens providing much needed color in the drabness of stick season, sunshine passing through cattail fluff, a phone call from my husband inviting me to an impromptu lunch, another day of wearing only a lightweight jacket, and the indoor farmer's market. I am grateful for life, for every little bit of its goodness, and I love how I never know what may be on my list tomorrow. Puddles, chocolate cake, a red fox dashing across the field? We are so lucky to be the recipient of so many days full of wonder and simple pleasures. I try so hard not to forget it.

"Cucumbers contain most of the vitamins you need every day. Just one cucumber contains Vitamin B1, Vitamin B2, Vitamin B3, Vitamin B5, Vitamin B6, Folic Acid, Vitamin C, Calcium, Iron, Magnesium,Phosphorus, Potassium and Zinc.
Cucumbers are a good source of B Vitamins and carbohydrates that can provide that quick pick-me-up that can last for hours.
Looking to fight off that afternoon or evening snacking binge? Cucumbers have been used for centuries and often used by European trappers, traders and explores for quick meals to thwart off starvation.
Take a slice of cucumber and press it to the roof of your mouth with your tongue for 30 seconds to eliminate bad breath. The phytochemcials will kill the bacteria in your mouth responsible for causing bad breath.."

The weather the past couple of days in Seattle has been epic. Barreling down rains, torrential hail, wind, apocalyptic thunder and lightning. A couple of nights ago it sounded as if the world was ending. Mercifully, my bout of flu seems to finally be ending; today is the first day I've been without fever in about a week.
As I was rifling through my sweaters this morning to find something to wear, I wondered if there is a good solution for 'pills' on sweaters. Do you know?

connecting to a global tribe
Connecting to a Global Tribe
"I believe globalization is forcing our brains to evolve.
I've had the privilege to see a lot more of the world than anyone my age could reasonably hope to. A few years ago, on a backpacking trip, I made a video of myself dancing terribly in exotic locations. I put it on my web site. Some friends started passing it around, and soon millions of people had watched it. I was offered sponsorship to continue my accidental vocation, and since then I've made two more videos that include 70 countries on all seven continents. A lot of people wanted to dance along with me, so I started inviting them to join in everywhere I went, from Toronto to Tokyo to Timbuktu.
Here's what I can report back: People want to feel connected to each other. They want to be heard and seen, and they're curious to hear and see others from places far away. I share that impulse. It's part of what drives me to travel. But it's constantly at odds with another impulse, which is to reduce and contain my exposure to a world that's way too big for me to comprehend.
My brain was designed to inhabit a fairly small social network of maybe a few dozen other primates—a tribe. Beyond that size, I start to get overwhelmed.
And yet here I am in a world of over six billion people, all of whom are now inextricably linked together. I don't need to travel to influence lives on the other side of the globe. All I have to do is buy a cup of coffee or a tank of gas. My tribe has grown into a single, impossibly vast social network, whether I like it or not. The problem, I believe, isn't that the world has changed, it's that my primitive caveman brain hasn't.
I am fantastic at seeing differences. Everybody is. I can quickly pick out those who look or behave differently, and unless I actively override the tendency, I will perceive them as a threat. That instinct may have once been useful for my tribe but when I travel, it's a liability.
When I dance with people, I see them smile and laugh and act ridiculous. It makes those differences seem smaller. The world seems simpler, and my caveman brain finds that comforting.
I believe my children will have brains ever so slightly better suited to the vast complexity that surrounds us. They will be more curious, more eager to absorb and to connect.
And I believe when they look into eyes of strangers, what they will see before the differences are the things that are the same."

at home
And then there are the things inside that I'm not sure I should notice? Like this Halloween candy found - sorted - under Cal's bed.
Thank you all for your well wishes yesterday and thank you especially Lyndsay for your suggestion to see my doctor about tamiflu. I got a prescription yesterday and am hoping I'll feel better soon.
This morning while Abbott practiced the piano Cal made me this get well card. If you look carefully at the shirt, you'll see I'm depicted as a rock star.
Still not used to seeing the sunset before dinner but the boys like it - to them it feels cozy.
I wish you all a happy Wednesday. xoxo

The sun was out all weekend. And that extra hour of sleep always comes at the right time, doesn't it? The year we got married, the time change happened the day after our wedding.
At the boys' school, El Dia de los Muertos is celebrated. The older students cut out the papel picado (photos below).
I hope your November is off to a good start.

Fluid Mani, What Contents?
Fluid Mani, what contents?
Seminal fluid serves as a lubricant in a sexual relationship. Each ejaculation, the average male seminal fluid or semen released about a teaspoon. This seminal fluid more or less depending on age (younger more and more and more), when was the last ejaculation, and the type of stimulation received.
A teaspoon of semen contains approximately 21 kilojoules (kilo calories) and 200-500 million sperm. Because the amount of sperm is only about one percent of the seminal fluid, and what the remaining 99 percent?
According to sexologist Dr Elna McIntosh, in addition to sperm, seminal fluid made up of fructose sugar, water, ascorbic acid (vitamin C), citric acid, enzymes, proteins, phosphate, and zinc.
Therefore, no need to worry if accidentally swallowed the semen. To prevent transmission of sexual diseases, it is advisable to use a condom during sex.
Nevertheless, is still debated, whether the transmission of HIV virus can occur through oral sex containing seminal fluid. To be sure, not a sexually transmitted disease that can occur through oral sex.

CAIRO -- An Egyptian reporter who was shot during clashes a week ago died of his wounds Friday, his employer said, in the first reported death of a journalist in the chaos surrounding Egypt's anti-government protests.
Ahmed Mohammed Mahmoud, 36, was taking photographs of fighting between protesters and security forces from the balcony of his home when he was shot Jan. 28, state-run newspaper Al-Ahram said on its website.
Mahmoud worked for Al-Taawun, a newspaper put out by the Al-Ahram publishing house. He lived near central Tahrir Square, the focal point of protest rallies as well as clashes this week between large crowds of supporters and opponents of President Hosni Mubarak.
The United Nations described brazen assaults on reporters that occurred during this week's violence as an attempt to stifle coverage of anti-government protests. President Barack Obama said attacks on reporters, human rights workers and peaceful protesters in Egypt were "unacceptable."
The Qatar-based television network Al-Jazeera said its offices in Cairo were set ablaze, along with the equipment inside it.
Mubarak supporters assaulted dozens of correspondents with virtual impunity in central Cairo this week with little intervention from nearby military units.
There were fewer reports of such attacks on Friday, when anti-government protesters staged a mostly peaceful rally in Tahrir Square.
The Egyptian government said reports of "an official policy against international media" were false, and that violence against journalists was unacceptable.
"International media have been, and are always, welcome in Egypt," said the state-run Cairo Press Center, which oversees media accreditation. It said more than 1,000 international journalists were in the country.
"Regrettably, international journalists have been endangered by the same conditions that have threatened all Egyptians in areas of the country where there have been major disturbances and a breakdown of security," the center said.
It said the Ministry of Information had worked with authorities to speed the release of those journalists who were detained.
The White House said it was working with the U.S. Embassy in Cairo on getting American journalists who have been beaten or detained out of Egypt.
Press secretary Robert Gibbs said the U.S. government continues to receive disturbing reports about what he called a "very systematic targeting of journalists."
On Friday, two correspondents for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty who had just flown into Cairo were detained, the organization said. It said one of the correspondents who was able to speak to another colleague reported that he believed they were being held in a police station.
A Swedish TV reporter, Bert Sundstrom of public broadcaster SVT, was in serious condition at a Cairo hospital after being stabbed in the back on Thursday.
CBS News said correspondent Lara Logan and cameramen Don Lee and Max McClellan were released after being held for a day by the Egyptian military, and were headed back to the United States.

A spiritual leader of Somalia's Islamist Shebab rebels called for popular Egypt- and Tunisia-style revolts to topple the government.
Sheikh Jama Abdusalam said such uprisings would rid the war-wracked country of a government that he accused of serving Western interests.
"I am urging the people to carry out Egyptian- and Tunisian-style uprisings in Somalia," Abdusalam told Alfurqaan Radio, a Shebab mouthpiece.

Egypt's military rulers called for an end to strikes and protests Monday as thousands of state employees, from ambulance drivers to police and transport workers, demonstrated to demand better pay in a growing wave of labor unrest unleashed by the democracy uprising that ousted Hosni Mubarak's regime.
The statement by the ruling military council that took power from Mubarak appeared to be a final warning to protest organizers in labor and professional unions before the army intervenes and imposes an outright ban on gatherings, strikes and sit-ins.
Soldiers cleared out almost all the remaining demonstrators from Cairo's Tahrir Square, the giant traffic circle that was turned into a protest camp headquarters for the 18-day revolt. During more than two weeks of round-the-clock demonstrations at the square, protesters set up tents, brought in blankets, operated medical clinics and festooned the entire plaza with giant banners demanding removal of the regime.

Wael Ghonim, a regional marketing manager for Google in the Middle East tells 60 Minutes about the support that the company provided when he was detained for his role in the protests.
There is more video from Ghonim's interview with 60 Minutes here.
Hundreds of Egyptian police have been protesting outside the country's Interior Ministry. They are demanding better wages and seeking to disassociate themselves from the deaths of protesters in the run up to the ouster of Hosni Mubarak from the Presidency.
Watch Al Jazerra's coverage of the protests:
Ahram Online reports:
A crowd of about 3,000 protesters, mainly lawyers and students, tried to march from Sanaa University to Al-Tahrir square in the city centre, where [Yemen President] Saleh's supporters have been camped since last week, but were prevented by security forces who erected barbed wire, witnesses reported.
In a move to manage the situation President Saleh halted constitutional procedures which may have allowed him to assume the presidency for life, and possibly pave the way for his son, the chief of the Republican Guard, to succeed him.
The Guardian reports:
A major development in Bahrain where there are reports that one person has been killed by security forces during a protest:
According to sources in the hospital, and confirmed by Nabeel Rajab from a Bahraini human rights organisation, Ali Abdulhadi al-Mushaima, 27, was shot in the back with live ammunition. Protesters are incensed.

Two generals sat down Sunday night to talk about their country's future with seven of the revolution's young organizers — including the Google marketing executive Wael Ghonim — and the young activists posted their notes on the meeting directly to the Internet for the Egyptian public to see.
"We all sensed a sincere desire to preserve the gains of the revolution and unprecedented respect for the right of young people to express their views," two of the young organizers, Mr. Ghonim and Amr Salama, wrote in their Facebook posting, with the disclaimer that they were speaking only for themselves. They noted that the generals spoke without any of the usual "parental tone (you do not know what is good for you, son)," and called the encounter "the first time an Egyptian official sat down to listen more than speak."

Between Michael Vick and Aaron Rodgers, the offensive numbers in the NFL just aren't quite what they have been. Yes, I'm very much aware that it's only been a week and a little bit, but the NFL offenses definitely seem to be putting up numbers that are much lower than in previous years. While Browns fans have been pre-exposed to anemic offenses, the rest of the NFL may be a little confused as to why teams can't move the ball.
Clearly, offenses have more than enough time to get into form. These numbers are not even close to being "historically bad", but with such an offensive trend in football as of these past few years, it's a tiny bit strange to be watching "defensive football". I don't think this change comes as a surprise to many of the defensive coordinators who have been trying to halt opposing offenses for the past few years. They are finally starting to figure it out.
As an offensive minded guy, I've never liked the defense, but I feel as though the defense is the most important factor in an offense. If the defense is playing as well as it can, the offense doesn't really stand a chance regardless of the talent that is on the field. That was clearly the case last night in the Packers and Bears matchup.
Jay Cutler has had his many issues. He's been called "emotion-less", "emotional", and "wreckless", but at times he has also been brilliant. Last night, Cutler looked "Weeden-like". We all know Jay Cutler can be a very good QB in the NFL, at least statistically, and last night, he looked as if he has never played in the NFL before. That's because the Green Bay Packers defense made it that way for him. I always used to say, "the best defense is a good offense", and while I believe offense is surely the more entertaining facet of the game, defense is beginning to play a much more important role.
There is no reason why the Bears shouldn't be able to put up massive amounts of points. They have a tremendous running attack, a gunslinging QB, and talent at wide receiver. Yet, Jay Cutler throws 4 ints in a bad loss to Green Bay. There is no reason why the Eagles shouldn't be able to dominate the scoreboards. Yet, Michael Vick throws 4 ints of his own in a tight win against the Browns. Brandon Weeden had the worst rookie debut of memory, yet was one of the most "experienced" quarterbacks coming out of college. It's surely not coincidence. These guys are thoroughly confused. They're reading coverages wrong. They're making the wrong throws. It's a look that we haven't seen in quite a while.
It's almost like the change of tides from the AL to the NL in baseball. The AL dominated for so long, but the NL has finally crept back and taken over as the premier league in baseball. The NFL has always had the ongoing fight between the offense and defense, both in a literal and statistical sense. "Which is more important?". "Defense wins championships". "Quarterback is the most important position in all of sports". "It's an offensive driven league." These are all statements that we've heard throughout the years, but the battle was constantly won by the offenses and, specifically, the elite QB's of the NFL. The defenses have now begun to take over that debate. If you play good defense, you can compete. This is why the Saints will have a tougher time competing than the Browns this season. The Browns, with Joe Haden, have a defense that is very respectable. The Saints, without Jon Vilma, do not. The Saints have a QB situation that is a trillion times better than the Browns, but that's going to start to mean less and less as this trend continues.
Defenses today are so incredibly difficult to recognize. Unless you're Peyton Manning, it's a skill that takes time to conquer in a game that doesn't allow for much time at all. Starting out in one coverage, disguising another, yet moving into another as the play goes on, defenses are mixing it up so much that opposing QBs, studied and intelligent, have problems deciphering what is going on past the line of scrimmage. It will be very interesting to see if this defensive trend continues. Guys like Clay Matthews, Darrelle Revis, and Julius Peppers say yes, and thus far, Jay Cutler, Aaron Rodgers, and Brandon Weeden are beginning to agree. Finally, it's getting harder for NFL offenses to put up the huge numbers they have been so used to. In these times if you want to compete in the NFL, you better be able to slow down the offensive superstars that have dominated the game for the good part of a decade. Ladies and gentleman, we're back to good hard-nosed football.

I am a first grade dual teacher at Lancaster Elementary with YISD. I want to advocate for our Lancaster Library and tell you about all the wonderful things my students are learning in the library.
Our wonderful librarian, Mrs. Cindy Williams, lets my students choose books in small groups, so that they may have enough time to pick their favorite title. She also teaches my students the process of responsibility and shows them how to check out their own book. Mrs. Williams not only reads books to the children, but she does thematic activities to help enrich their library experience.
Last month Mrs. Williams did a science read-aloud about owls and then had my students make their own owl with pine cones her neighbor donated to her.
Mrs. Williams also organizes two Reading Nights per year for the students, parents, faculty, and staff of our school. One was in October, where the illustrator and sculptor, Geronimo Garcia, was our special guest.
Our library is a very warm and inviting place and my students along with the entire school enjoy going multiple times a week to the library.
This letter is really a way that I can talk about all the enriching things going on in our library. Lancaster is always a beautiful and exciting world for our students.

Purdue junior David Boudia practices at the USA Diving National Training Center at the IU Natatorium.
- Filed Under
This weekend, one of Purdue's all-time greatest athletes will compete in West Lafayette for the final time.
Junior David Boudia will be among the divers participating in a Big Ten quad meet at the Boilermaker Aquatic Center. Boudia will not dive as a senior while training for the 2012 Olympics, something he was well aware of when he came to Purdue in 2008.
"I can't believe I'm already a junior and already done with college diving," said Boudia, who has won four NCAA titles. "I think the way I've developed these past three years has been phenomenal. I've had the resources I need at Purdue." ...

It was a wake up call that came much earlier than expected for an unsuspecting third floor guest of Somerset's Hampton Inn Hotel. The caller, though, acting as if he was the front desk clerk had an unusual request.
"Making the tenant believe there was a problem with the sprinkler system. They needed their assistance to do something to it," said Lt. Shannon Smith of the Somerset Police Dept. on Tuesday.
Yet the action of the so called fix to the sprinkler, ending up causing the problem the tenant was tricked into believing he was actually fixing.
"There was a considerable amount of water that came out before they were able to stop it.," said Smith.
The fire department was called, along with police, who now say whoever called the hotel guest could very well face a Class D felony.
"The hotel itself was targeted more so than the actual tenant of the room," said Smith.
There was no comment from anyone with Hampton Inn. Several guests did spend the rest of their night at the nearby Holiday Inn Express, according to that chain's manager.
Clean up crews were seen removing water from the hotel late into the morning. Police are now following up leads to find the prankster.
"Technology is in our favor. We will follow up with a number of different means," said Smith.

Curiosity... such a curious thing. Makes us wonder about so many things, makes us think why we should exist at all?
But, this feeling of curiosity was not much encouraged.During the time of Aristotle and Plato, one wold have to be brave to question religion and put forth their theories. It has changed. On a larger scale, we are allowed to think, allowed to ask questions, allowed to think differently. But, are we truly making use of it?
This is the real world suck. We have the…Continue

If you live in the US or other developed, Westernized nations and have anything to do with sci-fi pop culture, you may be familiar with the concept of time travel: people using a machine (often booth-like) to go into the past or future, while miraculously both the machine and traveler stay the same ages they were at the start of the time ride.
Problem: This is utterly impossible, due to one simple law:
Everything physical is subject to time.
That is, everything…Continue

So yes, it is quite likely I suffer from Crazy Cat Lady syndrome...or will some day anyway; but this morning I was inspired to write a new blog post by my cat. He woke me up an hour early and would not leave me alone! Walking all over my face, trying to sneak a nibble on my clavicle, and just being down right bizarre! I thought to myself, "what the frak are you doing JD?" and then I thought about Google...and then about John. Yes, my third thought upon waking this morning was of…Continue

Hey all! Eric here (Gooby for others!).
This will hopefully be the first blog of many! I'm kind of new to this and that will be pretty evident in the first few blogs as I begin to remember my HTML class I took way back 7 years ago in college.
I guess this first blog should talk a little bit about myself (give you a taste) and then give you all some ideas of what I'd like to talk about in the next posts and let you decide what should come next.

State environmental officials on Tuesday announced the reopening of shellfish areas in central Barnegat Bay, but public clam beds and aquaculture lots in Raritan and southern Barnegat bays remain closed three months after superstorm Sandy.
Water quality in Barnegat Bay has actually been quite good since about Nov. 6 as daily sampling showed bacteria levels declining, said Larry Hajna, a spokesman for the state Department of Environmental Protection. Tests of clams themselves have continued since then, and the DEP announced it would reopen shellfish areas from the Route 37 bridge south to Oyster Creek.
But the bays southern third, from Waretown to Tuckerton, remains closed because clam tissue samples still show bacteria levels above strict standards set by the National Shellfish Sanitation Program, a joint federal-state effort that ensures health safety in the shellfish industry.
Hajna said that does not mean pollution is coming into the bay, but that dormant clams have yet to expel what they picked up when Sandy churned bay waters and flushed pollutants off the land.
Its really a function of time and temperature, Hajna said. After the storm, the water temperature went to 50 degrees, and started going down.
Thats the point where shellfish stop pumping water through their bodies to filter out food particles, he said.
Its just going to take time for these clams to purge themselves, Hajna said.
A number of southern Ocean County baymen have switched from taking wild clams on public grounds to raising clams and oysters from seed on bay lots they lease from the state. That product in southern Barnegat waters will be tied up for as long as the closure continues, but other lots in Great Bay and Atlantic County are in production.
Shellfish closures remain in effect in Raritan Bay because of intermittent waste water leaks from the Middlesex County Utilities Authority, whose Sayreville pump station was damaged in the storm.

Only right that we drop Grip's "Damn Vans" today since we previewed it last week and a dose of anarchy will only help to balance out the sappiness being dealt out due to the holiday. Yes folks, the party's all fun and games until the kicks get scuffed. The needle scratches, time stops, glares get exchanged and the party's potentially over. So keep it cool, sway and bop instead of busting a move too aggressively and do so with "Damn Vans" in mind.

HOPKINTON ŌĆö In front of the Town Council Monday night, architect Ed Wojcik delivered difficult news concerning the 1904 former Ashaway Elementary School building. In his assessment and use study, he had determined that razing the building was the townŌĆÖs best alternative because of the significant costs of renovation.
Wojcik was hired by Crossman Engineering, which has a contract with the town, to provide evaluation and civil engineering services for the school building.

CHARLESTOWN ŌĆö At Monday nightŌĆÖs town council meeting, Town Councilor George Tremblay proposed a replacement for the extraction ordinance that failed to pass in May. Tremblay asked that the town administrator and town solicitor rewrite the proposed ordinance in language that ŌĆ£meets the requirements for clarity and enforcement.ŌĆØ
Tremblay said that on May 12, the council voted to withdraw the proposal for an extraction ordinance primarily owing to legal challenges from several attorneys over the sustainability of the ordinance in a court of law.
