Multiband Surveillance Cameras
ICx Technologies Inc.
ICx imaging solutions are currently deployed throughout the world, including in conflict theaters for base and asset protection.
They are also found at scores of nuclear facilities to compliment existing security systems; they are at numerous ports, airfields, and offshore oil platforms, as well as critical infrastructure.
Multiband Surveillance Cameras
The ICx family of thermal cameras offers continuous zoom, CCD pan-and-tilt imaging and integrated thermal and EO images called VisionSense. ICx cameras provide 24-hour surveillance using high-performance cooled and uncoiled thermal imagers. The DefendIR uncooled cameras are highly modular and configurable with different lenses, sensors and controllers to match mission requirements. An optional high-lumen spotlight is also available for illuminating and deterring incursions.
The ICx family of thermal cameras offers best-in-class continuous, optical zoom capabilities, integrated CCTV with stabilized pan-and-tilt for superior image quality and presentation. A proprietary feature of all ICx EO systems is the VisionSense display function. This allows thermal and CCTV images to be viewed simultaneously in a single overlapping image. This feature is particularly effective when viewing objects that have similar thermal contrast to the background temperature.
Orion Cameras
Also available are long-range, high-performance Orion camera systems. Orion is a high-resolution, cooled thermal imager with continuous optical zoom, pan-and-tilt, CCTV and laser range-finder integration options with a long life. Both the DefendIR and Orion integrate seamlessly with radars to provide slew-to-cue capabilities with proven results in multiple deployments.
DefendIR Uncooled, Dual Band Thermal Imager
The DefendIR is an industry-leading, mid-range thermal imager that can see in complete darkness and through a multitude of environmental conditions including smoke, rain, snow, dust, and dense fog. The DefendIR is based on forward looking infrared (FLIR) technology.
Through the innovative use of VisionSense, which combines video feeds from both a visible light (CCD) camera and an infrared camera, the user can mix and merge the two visual sources. This generates the ability to penetrate glare, as well as to see through windows, glass or water. Featuring a sleek integrated pan-and-tilt design, the camera is capable of continuous 360degree panning and a +/- 80 degree tilt withstanding temperatures ranging from 40o to +60oC. It supports most protocols used in commercial and military applications, and can be easily integrated into existing fiber, wireless or IP networks. Offering 15 lens and detector combinations, each camera can be customized to meet detailed range-performance requirements.
The Orion is a long-range "cooled" camera utilizing the same FLIR technology developed for the U.S. military. The Orion camera is ideal for both day and night perimeter security. It offers the best range performance in its class, boasting a 100mm to 550mm continuous optical-zoom lens. Featuring an integrated, stabilized pan-and-tilt design, the camera is capable of continuous 360 degree panning and can withstand temperatures ranging from -40ºC to +60ºC. The Orion has a rugged housing which is environmentally sealed to meet both NEMA 4 and IP65 specifications.
Orion Cooled Thermal Imager
Requiring only four screws and one cable, ICx cameras install with little effort. Their light weight and small power draw add to the ease of installation, use and to the mobility of the system. ICx cameras are field- tested and in use in operating environments ranging from current conflict theaters, to maritime facilities, airfields, ports, and nuclear facilities.
Like its "uncooled" counterparts, the Orion easy integrates with existing security systems and technologies. It supports most protocols used in commercial and military applications and can be integrated with fiber, wireless, or IP networks. The Orion also interfaces with radar, VMD, UGS (Unattended Ground Sensors) or other trigger devices to provide a slew-to-cue solution.
Act First
Command and Control
The proposed system will be controlled from a central command center through the use of an adaptable and scalable command-and-control software suite called Resolution™, which is integrated seamlessly with radars and cameras and video analytics. The Resolution command-and-control system receives sensor data and video from the surveillance sensors and overlays alarm information directly onto a geosynchronous map of the surrounding area.
Resolution enables users in a command center to remotely control and visualize the radar tracks and camera output. The flexible and configurable design of our towers, sensors and software allow ease of integration with a wide array of new and legacy surveillance equipment. Our solutions have the versatility to be scalable as threats and required coverage expands.
Resolution from ICx is a flexible video-display platform that can be deployed to manage the command-and-control security infrastructure for critical facilities as well as for enterprise-wide video systems. Its architecture supports multiple users, complex privilege hierarchies, and hundreds of sensors and output devices.
Resolution can be deployed using a video display wall or as a stand-alone terminal display. Resolution provides ease of control for multiple cameras, alarms and event management, recorders and situation awareness sensors. It is scalable and compatible with legacy and new equipment - simultaneously controlling analog and IP inputs. Resolution supports the seamless integration of new and existing assets to support the larger common operating picture (COP). Resolution can also display radar track data as provided by ICx radars. This track data can be used to "slew-to-cue" associated video cameras providing the operator near instantaneous assessment of targets.
The Resolution software platform is able to "plug-and-play" with more than 200 different models of surveillance cameras and with all ICx radars. Off-the-shelf drivers are available for analog- or digital-camera technology, standard GPS tracking systems and GIS software packages. Resolution can also be configured to provide "hierarchical" C2 nodes with a "common operational picture."
Integrated Surveillance Systems
An integrated surveillance system can provide both primary and backup surveillance command stations. Resolution command and control software seamlessly interconnects each command node in the control system with the surveillance sensor network.
The intuitive graphics interface allows operators to manage sensor inputs, conduct analysis and control the sensor network. Geospatial maps can be imported from any source and geo-referenced to the geography. Each command station of this sort would contain, at a minimum, a Resolution Security Client, Resolution Device Driver Server and a Network Video Recorder. Recording for the facility would be available at the primary command post. This ensures that video is archived at the lowest possible level preventing a catastrophic loss of data. All of these command nodes can be networked with standard Gigabit-Ethernet networks or wireless IP networks. Remote systems can be connected in either fashion via internet protocol.
During operations, targets are acquired by the ground surveillance system, ground operators are notified by alarm, and intruder tracks are displayed on the operator's console. Intruder information, geo-location, speed, and heading are displayed with the tracks. Simultaneously, intruder-location information is transmitted to the surveillance camera. The camera slews to the target and displays an image of the target. At this point the operator can decide if, in fact, the target is friendly or unknown and requiring more information. Or, it could be hostile. The target can be classified by the operator as "friend or foe" and the target's track information will display this classification.
System alarms are recorded in the Resolution database. Images associated with those alarms can be retrieved and replayed by operators as needed. Further, "alarm zones" can be established through Resolution that display intruder alerts associated with those zones. These zones are completely configurable and business rules can be established to "turn zones on or off based on time of day". The zones can be easily reset by operators to reflect changes in the environment and operational changes.
Resolution is widely deployed to manage the command-and-control security infrastructure for critical military and government facilities as well as municipalities and state-wide transportation systems. Its architecture supports multiple users, complex privilege hierarchies, and hundreds of sensors and output devices.
Non-lethal Response
ICx offers cameras that integrate two or three spectrums of light for imaging, detection and warning. The Illuminator camera includes a CCD color camera and a 12-million candlepower, strobe-capable spotlight. The system can be controlled through the Resolution interface. In operation, the Illuminator can be cued to a target by radar or analytics, the target verified via the lowlight CCD camera and pinpointed/warned via the spotlight. The spotlight can also be set in a strobe mode that can interrupt suspicious activities when trained on the target.
Integrated systems
Cerberus- Self Contained Mobile Surveillance Platforms
Cerberus is an unmanned, mobile surveillance platform, autonomously powered and ideal for applications in which rapid deployment is mission critical. Cerberus is designed to address perimeter, border, and point surveillance applications, primarily with regard to force and asset protection. The combination of relocatable, wide-area surveillance along with agile command-and-control capabilities make the Cerberus a force multiplier. The inherent flexibility and portability of Cerberus allows its adaptation to a wide range of sensors and command and control options, depending upon mission requirements. Rugged, dependable and supportable, the Cerberus platform is always ready to provide operators the ability to "See First - Understand First - Act First" under any situation.
Each system comprises the following:
- Aluminum trailer that can be towed by a standard lightweight or half-ton pickup truck, or military equivalent
- "Skid mount" pallet option for truck bed integration
- Variable height and design sensor mast
- On-board ICx C2 Node providing sensor connectivity, communications and power management
- On-board diesel generator with integrated power distribution infrastructure;
- 12/24 Volt battery system with an auto-start feature for the generator (generator is automatically started to recharge batteries, when predetermined battery depletion level is reached)
- On-board environmental enclosure with PC rack mounts and climate-control
- C-130 Transportable and sling load capable
- Cerberus
The sensor package for the Cerberus varies according to range and detection requirements. Three versions are available as standard configurations, the Sx, Mx and Lx. The sensor packages vary while the command-and-control node, along with an integrated power- and sensor- management package, remain standard.
The Cerberus trailer physically comprises the trailer and sensor pallet. The sensor pallet can be removed from the trailer and loaded onto the bed of a standard one ton pick-up truck or equivalent vehicle. The sensor pallet dimensions are 48"W x 96L x 83" H. This gives operators the flexibility to use the trailer-mounted system as a towed unit which can be detached from the tow vehicle and left in place as a detached sensor node. Or, the system can be loaded into the back of the reconnaissance truck and used in a mobile "shoot and move" mode.
Command and Control of the surveillance sensors is accomplished via the ICx C2 node and a ruggedized work station. If acting as a stand-alone surveillance node the Resolution software will control only the mobile system. All cameras and radars can be operated from the work station and Resolution. Connection of the system into a fixed surveillance network is also facilitated by Resolution.
Currently Cerberus systems are deployed on the southern border of the United States, and by the U.S. Army throughout southwest Asia. The Cerberus systems include integrated ground-based radars, thermal and CCTV cameras, command-and-control software and communications equipment. Options for units to be networked and/or operated remotely or from the cab of a tow vehicle are available.
Cerberus Sx
This option provides an STS-350 radar, DefendIR thermal imager and C2 node along with the basic power and mechanical options.
Cerberus Mx
This option provides an STS-1400 radar, DefendIR thermal imager and C2 node along with the basic power and mechanical options.
Cerberus Lx
This option provides a third-party, 30,000m pulse Doppler radar, Orion thermal imager and C2 node along with the basic power and mechanical options.
100' Communications and Surveillance Tower
In order to provide the proper line of sight for communications and data transfer a mobile self-guyed 100' tower is available. The system is easily transportable and takes up a small geographic footprint. The tower system can be configured to stage communications antennas and cameras as needed. The self-guyed system doesn't require a pad and can be set up by three people in less than two hours.
Notional Remote Base Security System
The implementation of an ICx CommandSpace solution for a notional (2 x 3km perimeter) remote forward base is outlined below. Assumptions about power and communications follows:
- 2Km x 3Km perimeter facility for Medium Size Base
- 700m x 700m Perimeter facility for Small forward Base
- Level desert terrain /Mountainous terrain
- Anticipated threat vectors - land infiltration on foot or by small vehicle (compact truck, motorcycle)
- Physical barrier around base (concertina and or fence)
- Line of sight available (10Km)
- Dedicated defense forces Hardline IP communications (Fast Ethernet)
- One central Base Defense Operations Center (BDOC)
- 110/220V power available
- "Total knowledge" of the entire battlespace is difficult if not impossible to achieve with traditional surveillance technology. Semi-experienced adversaries with superior knowledge of the terrain can easily defeat sensors that are placed "on" the perimeter of the facility. Sensors that are able to reach beyond the physical perimeter and detect intruders have the capacity to raise alarms well rior to the intruders reaching the perimeter.
This is critical because distance from the perimeter equals the time available to direct forces to intercep or neutralize. More distance from the target equates to more time to intercept and possibly prevent an attack. A combination of ground surveillance radars, mobile surveillance towers, EO and IR imaging systems working together can provide a significantly "hardened" perimeter and battlefield oversight that will serve to enhance overall Force Protection.
Remote Semi-fixed Site- Large Base
Remote Semi-fixed Site- Large BaseIn the attached figure we assume the use of two STS-12000s on a portable platform, two Orion cooled thermal imagers, connected with the Resolution VMS Command and Control system. The Resolution VMS system is configured for two control nodes that can be co-located or remotely located within the forward site.
While a single STS-12000 mounted on a fixed tower is feasible it gives no redundancy nor does it allow for any variability in terrain features. Frequently our customers integrate the shorter range radars into the solution to make up for gaps in radar coverage based on terrain.
Mounting the 12000s on trailer systems gives the users flexibility in concept of operations. Set-up time is approximately two hours depending on existing infrastructure.
The approximate price of the shown hardware configuration is $1.2 million. A more detailed price sheet is attached. Pricing will vary according to the actual equipment selected.
Remote Semi-fixed Site -Small Base
Remote Semi-fixed Site -Small BaseIn this senario the site is protected by a combination of small, short-range radars, cameras, mobile surveillance units and unmanned surveillance towers. Any of these systems can be mixed and matched to allow for maximum flexibility in the concept of operations, and for total system effectiveness.
In the diagram we are specifying the use of four STS-350s, matched DefendIRs, and a Cerberus camera tower mounting an Orion. We have also used the STS-350/DefendIR in a mobile surveillance mode. This is accomplished by putting the STS-350 on the back of a utility vehicle, including an integrated IR camera and a C2 station.
The approximate price of the shown hardwired configuration is approximately $1.7 million, not including the utility vehicle. Pricing will vary according to the actual equipment selected.

Great example with the Addams family. I knew he reminded me of someone but I couldn't put my finger on it
I know there was one where he had more pronounced mustache. He kinda looked like Raul Julia from the Addams Family movies. His current mustache now looks more like John Waters.
The early incarnations of him had him with small red wings on him as well. They got rid of those after a year or two.
He also had a pretty pronounced goatee for a while that just seemed to disappear over the years. I think he wore that in the late 90's/early 2000's but cannot confirm.

Penn State Football: It's About That Culture Thing
by Carolyn Todd
Why did Louis Freeh determine that Penn State had a so-called "football culture"?
In his report, Freeh states the following key finding:
"In the Fall of 2000, a University janitor observed Sandusky sexually assault a young boy in the East Area Locker Building and advised co-workers of what he saw. Also that evening, another janitor saw two pairs of feet in the same shower, and then saw Sandusky and a young boy leaving the locker room holding hands. Fearing that they would be fired for what they saw, neither janitor reported the incidents to university officials, law enforcement, or child protective agencies."
Later in his report, Freeh describes an interview with one of the janitors involved: "Janitor B explained to the Special Investigative Counsel that reporting the incident 'would have been like going against the President of the United States in my eyes.' 'I know Paterno has so much power, if he wanted to get rid of someone, I would have been gone.' He explained, 'football runs this University,' and said the University would have closed ranks to protect the football program at all costs."
And so according to Freeh, even though a more senior janitor discussed with these two janitors how to report what they saw, the two janitors involved decided that because they were fearful of losing their jobs, they would not report a tremendously awful crime. Or at least that's what they told Freeh twelve years after it happened.
They blamed Paterno's power for their failure to do what was the right thing to do at the time – to call the police.
I don't necessarily want to judge them. I can understand the fear of losing a job, whether that fear is founded or not. But it's a true shame that they did not report the crime when it occurred in 2000.
Sandusky might have been behind bars a lot sooner given what appears to be the clearest eye witness account of Sandusky performing a sexual act on a victim. A lot of victims might have been spared over the past decade.
And as the Paterno family report published last week has pointed out, just because a janitor assumed that Joe Paterno MIGHT fire him for reporting a crime doesn't make it true that he WOULD have or even COULD have.
There is no evidence that Paterno would have dismissed these janitors and not taken them seriously. There is also no evidence that Paterno would have fired these janitors.
AND significantly enough there is no evidence that Paterno had the authority to fire these janitors even if he desired to, which in my opinion is not something he would have done.
Remember, in the year 2000 Sandusky didn't report to Paterno or have anything to do with his program. And it has been well documented that Paterno wasn't close to Sandusky or consider him a friend.
In addition there is ample evidence that when Mike McQueary reported something in 2001 that was far more ambiguous than what one of the janitors reportedly saw – he told his dad and a medical doctor that night and the jury during the Sandusky trial that he did NOT see a rape – Mike was neither fired or told by Paterno to keep it quiet.
Paterno made sure that Mike met with Tim Curley and Gary Schultz to report to them what he saw. Mike was kept on as graduate assistant coach and then later on he was promoted to assistant coach.
So why was Freeh so sympathetic to these janitors for not calling the police and so willing to blame the "football culture" for their inaction?
I probably never will understand that part of the history of the Sandusky scandal. It's hard for me to fathom how anyone can be blamed for somehow ignoring a crime that was never reported. But that is in essence what the Freeh report does. It blames Paterno and the football culture.
Joe Paterno had a lot of influence, for sure, at Penn State. But was he powerful enough to decide EVERYTHING at the university? No, he wasn't. That is a myth perpetrated by people who have a limited view or don't understand how academia works.
Dr. Vicki Triponey, the former VP of Student Affairs, was another one of Freeh's interviewees and it appears that her assertions also had influence on Freeh's conclusions about a football culture. She is well-known for her complaints that she couldn't wrest control away from Joe Paterno on whether or not his players could continue to play while facing disciplinary proceedings. Her complaints have been well-publicized in the media. She felt that it should be up to Judicial Affairs, not coaches, to determine player involvement in practice or games. Joe Paterno objected to that.
But what was NOT so well publicized in most media, although reported in a Centre Daily Times article written by Anne Danahy, is that an independent Faculty-Senate committee at the university interviewed 40 people about Triponey's concerns and about her proposal for Judicial Affairs to determine whether or not an athlete should continue to play on a team if faced with disciplinary proceedings. This Faculty-Senate committee, NOT Joe Paterno, made the final recommendation to the university president as to how student discipline of both athletes and non-athletes should be handled.
Essentially this academic committee confirmed the notion that coaches should be allowed to determine whether or not a player should continue to play, not Judicial Affairs. They determined that for non-athlete extra-curricular activities it was left to the leader of those activities (e.g. advisor) to determine whether or not a non-athlete facing discipline should continue to participate. The committee felt that athletes should not be treated any differently than non-athletes.
The Freeh report's opinion that there is some sort of a "football culture" that needs to be rectified at Penn State seems to be one of the reasons that the NCAA has come down especially hard on Penn State in assessing the harsh sanctions that it has.
Never mind that what happened at Penn State was criminal activity by a former coach, that none of the current players ever worked with. Never mind that it had nothing to do with creating competitive advantage on the playing field, which is supposedly what the NCAA is supposed to be investigating.
Mark Emmert, mimicking Freeh, publicly stated that Penn State's "football culture" needs to change as a justification for his announcement of harsh NCAA sanctions. And what was even worse, he seemed to imply that academic integrity at Penn State had been compromised.
What was it about a 91% graduation rate of football student athletes at Penn State that Emmert didn't like?
Perhaps the problem was that the people Freeh interviewed at Penn State ADMIRED the academic culture that was built within the football program?
And perhaps Freeh's teams confused admiration for Joe's commitment to academics and fundraising for an attitude of "Joe can do no wrong" or "Joe has too much power"?
Let us not forget, Emmert chose to accept the Freeh report and announce the worse NCAA sanctions ever against a university rather than launch his own investigation.
So Emmert doesn't even know who Freeh interviewed in his investigation.
Trust me when I say, Penn State faculty and staff are smarter than to think Joe Paterno could have done no wrong. We respected Joe Paterno's abilities as a head coach, his philanthropic efforts on behalf of Penn State, and his determination to make sure his players graduated.
But we also knew that he was quite human. He wasn't perfect. We also knew that Joe had boundaries he respected. He had a lot of influence, but he didn't always choose to use it.
Evidence of that fact is that neither Joe Paterno nor anyone else from the football office has ever interfered with a faculty decision related to the academics of a football player.
There has been no pressure to pass any athlete. None. Ever. By any coach of any athletic program at Penn State.
As an instructor at Penn State I've had my share of student athletes in the classroom – football and otherwise – and all I can say is that every scholarship athlete I have had in my classes is very closely monitored, three times per semester! To make sure they attend classes, to make sure they are participating, to make sure they are passing. It works, and Penn State has been admired over the decades for it working so well.
And speaking of football culture, what about the fact that football student athletes are involved in all sorts of other initiatives, such as "Lift for Life", where this year alone they raised over $100,000 to combat kidney cancer?
And where this year Offensive Lineman Eric Shrive was named "Rare Disease Champion of the Year" by Uplifting Athletes and the Maxwell Club for his personal efforts in raising over $69,000 of that amount to fight this disease. Congratulations, Eric, on that honor!
No, Freeh and Emmert got it wrong. If you want to know what Penn State's culture is truly about, consider this past weekend's efforts in the dead cold of February.
710 student dancers on their feet for 46 hours. More than 15,000 students on their feet in the stands supporting those dancers. Countless Penn State student clubs and organizations spending weeks and months on end canning on street corners to raise money to combat pediatric cancer.
Countless folks – students, families, community members – standing in line for hours outside of the Bryce Jordan Center trying to get into the arena to lend their support to the dancers, and turned away because the largest inside venue on campus isn't big enough to accommodate all who want to participate.
Numerous committees are organized throughout the year to support this event and make sure the dancers are well taken care for, and that the Thon children themselves – children who suffer tremendously from treatments related to their cancers – are having a great time.
That's right. The children themselves who benefit from Thon interact directly with the students at Penn State, through the Four Diamonds Fund, which is the major beneficiary of the Thon fundraising effort.
Just about every student club participating in Thon has one or two of these children assigned to them. That makes the fundraising to cure cancer personal. Very personal. And given that these children sometimes don't survive, it is agonizingly emotional in the final hours when during the Thon family hour the triumphs over cancer are celebrated, but then also the names and photos of the Thon children who passed away are flashed on the screen.
I teach at Penn State. I'm a huge football fan, as you know. But, when I think of culture at Penn State, I don't think of football first.
I think of Thon. Thon is what pervades the atmosphere among students at Penn State, and it is what differentiates Penn State from any other major university in the world. Thon pervades all year round.
Football at Penn State is exciting, fun, a major passion each fall for seven home weekends each year. But isn't that true at every FBS school? Isn't it true at Alabama? Wisconsin? Michigan? Ohio State? You name it. Football is big in the fall at all of my top five favorite college football venues. I beg you to contend that Penn State football is more important than football at any other of these schools.
But while football is primarily a fall activity, the Penn State Dance Marathon drives Penn State students 52 weeks per year. The student clubs, fraternities, and sororities all organize into teams to can on weekends on street corners in communities throughout the northeast and even across the country.
Thon itself has what seem to be a zillion different committees, whether they be rules and regulations, morale, security, entertainment, communications, and of course there is a huge competitive thrust among the numerous student clubs to raise enough money to be eligible to sponsor one or more dancers to represent them, and to be recognized as a top 5 contributing student club among various designated categories of clubs when the grand amount is announced.
And so on a weekend in February, a miraculous event occurs, the culmination of a year's worth of effort. A bunch of students hold a 46 hour dance party at the Bryce Jordan Center. No alcohol, by the way, is allowed within the BJC, and anyone who is visibly drunk is turned away.
The Thon kids have a ball. The dancers learn what it is like to suffer…and to survive.
Football culture? Football players are involved as well in supporting Thon. In fact, all the athletes at Penn State put on a show for the dancers on Saturday night. The athletic teams spend hours developing, practicing, and then competing for the best dance routine, and it's a highlight of the weekend…you can view it here. It's a great laugh, especially the men's hockey team and this year's winner, the men's swim team.
In the end, in my opinion, the Penn State student culture is defined by Penn State students striving to make an impact on the world. The students contribute tremendously to the families whose kids are suffering from cancer, and to researching a cure for pediatric cancer. This year, they raised over $12 million. Since the beginning, over $101 million. For the kids.
And you know what? On Monday morning, the Thon mission will start all over again. New leadership for Thon will be named, a transition plan to impart all the lessons from this year's successes and failures will occur, and committees will be formed to start the effort all over again for next year.
The janitors were wrong. Louis Freeh was wrong. So was Mark Emmert. Football doesn't run everything at Penn State.
If you want to know what the culture at Penn State is about, especially in terms of student life, look no further than Thon.
Congratulations, Penn State students! For The Kids!!! $12.3 million plus. Every year I look at what Penn State students accomplish, and I'm absolutely amazed. As we all should be.
The world's largest student-run philanthropy. That's what defines Penn State culture, much more than football does. And I suspect it always will.
But it's also what's incredibly disturbing about the Sandusky crimes. Penn State's culture is defined by the acronymn "FTK". For The Kids.
Sandusky violated first of all his victims, but also the entire Penn State University, through his heinous criminal actions. He struck at the core of Penn State's cultural beliefs which have always been about supporting children through Thon. He also struck at the core of the community's support of The Second Mile, the charity he founded, which has also been all about supporting children.
That is what is so hard to accept. That this monster in our midst could go after the very kids that the culture of this school and this community could work so hard to support.
As for a football culture? For any Penn Stater, they know better.
The NCAA Grinch couldn't stop football from coming to Penn State
By Carole Kirkpatrick, 50-Yard Lion bloggerThe Patriot-News on November 27, 2012 at 11:06 AM, updated November 27, 2012 at 12:58 PM
When we meet the Grinch in the Christmas classic, "The Grinch Who Stole Christmas", he is high in his lofty perch above Whoville. His heart, four sizes too small, is shrunken beneath his green furry skin. He gets an idea. "I must stop Christmas from coming." So with the help of his faithful lapdog Max, he rushes down the hill on his sled with a plan to destroy the joyful celebrations in Whoville.
I put to you that NCAA president Mark Emmert sat in his lofty offices in Indianapolis and looked down at the devastation in Nittanyville from the J.S. arrest and scandal. Paterno was dead. Spanier was fired. Curley and Schultz were charged with perjury. There would be trials and lawsuits to come.
But Penn State had hired a new exciting coach named Bill O'Brien. Emmert must have thought, "I must stop Penn State football and its fans from coming back to Beaver Stadium." So he and his faithful lapdog, Ed Ray, chairman of the NCAA executive committee and Oregon State president, sought to keep wins from coming to Happy Valley. So they hastily zoomed down to a podium to announce crippling sanctions that would devastate Nittanyville.
You see he thought Penn State football was about its long-revered coach. He thought it was about the winning seasons. He thought it was about the expansive tailgating surrounding one of the largest college football stadiums in the country. He thought it was about the apparel and the stores. He thought it was about the decorations and flags. If he could hand down sanctions devastating enough, he could make all of that football culture go away.
Penn State football wasn't about all of that. The NCAA Grinch thought if he got some of the players to leave, it would stop them. Penn State football wasn't about those who left but those who chose to stay. The players who stayed stepped up with hearts and hard work to take the places of those who left setting records in their wake. The NCAA Grinch thought if he took scholarships away for four years that would stop them from bringing enough talent to Penn State to play. Coach O'Brien already has a team with numbers close to the cut off for this year. The NCAA Grinch thought that the four year bowl ban would keep away recruits. Penn State's recruiting class ranks in the top 25 of one scouting site. The promise of reduced scholarships means those talented players will have a chance to play right away. He thought that taking $60 million in fines would help further the educational purpose of the university. Oh, that's right. It doesn't. That's a fairytale.
But on Saturday night, amid the swirling snow, Christmas came early to Nittanyville. A courageous team wearing number 42 on their helmets and belief in their hearts fought against all of the adversity they had faced this season. Led by a group of seniors who held the team together, they were honored with their number, 2012, painted in the stadium's ring of honor. It wasn't for a championship, it wasn't for an undefeated season, no, it was because they were not defeated by the rancor of the NCAA and the rest of the world. It took overtime to take care of the possible Big Ten champions, Wisconsin, but they did it.
In front of 93,000 faithful supporters, this team celebrated something that was bigger than a bowl game. The NCAA Grinch sought to take away something he didn't understand. He thought it was about a coach. He thought it was about winning seasons and bowl games. He thought it was about the tailgating, the apparel, the decorations, and the even the fans in the stadium. But it was not. It was about a group of young men and their leaders who believed in them sticking together in the face of adversity. It was overcoming obstacles one week and one game at a time. It was about playing for something bigger than themselves. They stayed and played for the man standing next to them. It was about honoring a university that had given them an opportunity and an education.
After their triumph, they stood arm-in-arm in front of the Blue Band, much like the Whos in Whoville, who joined together around the tree on Christmas morning. As they swayed together they sang in unison words that have a newfound meaning,
"May no act of ours bring shame, to one heart that loves thy name.
May our lives but swell thy fame, Dear Old State, Dear Old State."
Instead of the bells of Christmas, those who stayed and watched heard the loud dongs of the Victory Bell and the dawning of a new era in Penn State football. An era began that was forged from the bonds of a group of young men of character whose spirit will stay with us in Nittanyville forever. It is this legacy that will draw recruits and run-ons much like the lore of the roundtable brought knights to Camelot. I hope that the NCAA Grinch was watching on television. I hope his heart grew two sizes Saturday night. And NCAA's Max? I hope he never has to pull the Grinch's sled again
Fiesta Bowl Team of the Week–Go Penn State!
UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa.; November 26, 2012 – Penn State has been named the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl's National Team of the Week, as selected by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA), following the Nittany Lions' Senior Day 24-21 overtime win over Wisconsin.
With the thrilling victory over the defending Big Ten champions, Coach Bill O'Brien'sNittany Lions won for the eighth time in their last 10 games and finished with a 6-2 Big Ten mark and 8-4 overall. O'Brien became the first Penn State first-year coach to win eight games in the 126 years of the program.
The Tostitos Fiesta Bowl Team of the Week announcement was made this morning on "College Sports Today" on SiriusXM Channel 91.
The Nittany Lions are the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl's National Team of the Week for the third time. The previous times were after victories against Ohio State in 2005 and 2008. Penn State is the first Big Ten team to earn the weekly honor this season
Penn State President to be Charged in Sandusky Case
HARRISBURG — Former Penn State president Graham Spanier is expected to be charged today in connection with the investigation into child molestation allegations against Jerry Sandusky, making the once-respected leader the fourth person to be indicted in the scandal.
Former university administrators Tim Curley and Gary Schultz are already awaiting trial on perjury and failure to report abuse charges from the indictment last year that rocked the community.
The Spanier development comes five days before Election Day, which features a hotly contested race between two newcomers for attorney general. Current attorney general Linda Kelly is not running.
It is not immediately clear how the new charges would affect Curley's and Schultz's trial, which is set for jury selection in Harrisburg on Jan. 7. Attorneys for both men have filed a slew of motions, asking the judge to try their clients separately as we'll as delaying trial. Curley and Schultz have maintained their innocence.
The expected charges bring about another twist in the nearly yearlong fallout of the Sandusky scandal, which has Penn State working to rebuild its tarnished reputation in the wake of the criminal cases against Curley and Schultz, unprecedented sanctions by the NCAA on the football team, and the firing of head coach Joe Paterno and Spanier
The Book, Paterno–
"Paterno," Joe Posnanski's biography of former Penn State football coach Joe Paterno, will be released on Tuesday.
The book, which was started well before charges were filed against Jerry Sandusky in November, talks at length about a relationship between the two men that was contentious from the very beginning.
Posnanski calls Paterno and Sandusky "polar opposites." As Sandusky's Penn State career neared its end, members of Paterno's family described what they called the coach's "Why I Hate Jerry Sandusky Memo."
Sandusky's retirement after the 1999 season was also discussed in great length, and the book draws the same conclusion as former FBI director Louis Freeh's investigation: It appeared to have nothing to do with a 1998 incident involving Sandusky and a young boy in a Penn State shower.
Regarding a 2002 incident in which then-graduate assistant Mike McQueary witnessed Sandusky in a Penn State shower with a boy, Paterno told Posnanski a similar story to what he told a grand jury.
"Did you consider calling the police?" Posnanski asked.
"To be honest with you, I didn't," Paterno responded. "This isn't my field. I didn't know what to do. I had not seen anything. Jerry didn't work for me anymore. I didn't have anything to do with him. I tried to look through the Penn State guidelines to see what I was supposed to do. It said that I was supposed to call Tim [Curley]. So I did."
Among some of the other excerpts of note:
On people saying he protected Sandusky over children
"How could they think that?" he asked, and no one had the heart to answer. "They really think that if I knew someone was hurting kids, I wouldn't stop it?"
They looked at him.
"Don't they know me? Don't they know what my life has been about?"
On Jerry Sandusky
In 1993, Paterno wrote what the family would sometimes call the "Why I Hate Jerry Sandusky Memo." In it Paterno complained that Sandusky had stopped recruiting, seemed constantly distracted, had lost his energy for coaching, and was more interested in his charity, The Second Mile. "He would gripe about Jerry all the time," one family member said.
On son Jay Paterno
Did he hope that someday Jay would replace him as coach? It's hard to imagine a father not thinking along those lines, but Joe insisted that wasn't in his mind. "Are you kidding me?" he scoffed. "You think I would want Jay to have to deal with that?"… "Jay's a good coach, a darned good coach. And I think a lot of people refuse to see that because his name is Paterno."
On the Paterno statue
Paterno disliked the statue. Not because of the craftsmanship or the dimensions or anything like that. The statue and the stone wall behind it and the words carved into the stone, it all felt like a celebration of self, a mausoleum. But even these were not the reasons for Paterno's distaste. The reason was a single finger, the index finger, the statue of Joe Paterno raised to the heavens. We're No. 1.
On The Second Mile
Paterno would say again and again that he did not see anything perverse in Sandusky's dealings with children. His problem with The Second Mile was much simpler: the kids annoyed the hell out of him. … He did not want kids around when there was work to do.
On a 1998 investigation
There is reason to believe that, whatever Paterno was told, it did not make much of an impact on him. The coaches' meeting that leads this section was held on May 26, 1998 — precisely at the time Sandusky was being investigated — and his detailed and pointed notes make no mention of the investigation. Also, by the late 1990s, he had explored numerous options for removing Sandusky from his coaching staff. … If Paterno did know the details of the 1998 investigation, he might have used it as a way to get rid of Sandusky. He did not.
On Sandusky's retirement in 1999
[Paterno] told Sandusky he would not be the next head coach at Penn State. Sandusky mentioned the early retirement package, and Paterno suggested it might be a good time for him to take it. Both men later said that the 1998 incident was never discussed.
On Sandusky's retirement package, which included access to Penn State facilities
When I told Paterno that people would find it hard to believe the could not have influenced Sandusky's retirement package, he said, "People like to give me too much power. That's Tim's department. I told Tim how I felt. He worked out the deal as he saw fit."
On conclusions of the Freeh report
The general media takeaway from this email chain [discussing how Penn State officials should handle McQueary's testimony] was that Paterno had convinced Curley to back off reporting Sandusky and to handle this in-house. Others familiar with the emails believed instead that Paterno had demanded they confront Sandusky.
Penn State adds defensive back prospect
By Guy Cipriano — State College – Centre Daily Times
Penn State's 2013 recruiting class has returned to double digits.
Jordan Smith, a defensive back from Washington, D.C., orally committed to Penn State on Saturday. Smith is the first addition to the 2013 recruiting class since the NCAA levied major sanctions against the school on July 23.
The 6-foot, 180-pound Smith also held offers from Colorado, Kansas and Hawaii. His commitment increases the 2013 recruiting class to 10 players. Smith, rated a two-star prospect by Rivals.com, and Northview (Fla.) High School safety Neiko Robinson give the class two defensive backs.
Smith will play at H.D. Woodson High School this season. He had 64 tackles and two interceptions while playing for Archbishop Carroll of the Washington Catholic League last season.
NCAA appeal a losing battle? Experts: PSU has little recourse, risks reviving negative message
By Anne Danahy email@example.com — State College – Centre Daily Times
When it comes to the NCAA, due process and other standards of a court of law don't apply.
That's according to one expert in NCAA regulations and enforcement. David Ridpath, associate professor of sports management at Ohio University, said Penn State doesn't have to be a member of the NCAA if it doesn't like the sanctions the organization imposed on the university for its role in the Jerry Sandusky scandal. But, in this case, Penn State President Rodney Erickson already signed off on the penalties.
Ridpath said the 1988 case of the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, basketball coach versus the NCAA gave the NCAA a huge amount of latitude. That case, involving a basketball coach who fought his suspension, made its way to the U.S. Supreme Court, which ruled the NCAA isn't a state agency.
"That court case gave them license to say, 'If you want to be in our club, you have to follow our club rules,' " Ridpath said.
Ridpath, who had his own run-in with the NCAA as an athletic administrator at Marshall University, said he doesn't like the way the NCAA handled the Penn State situation, but he thinks those fighting it need to take their complaints to the university.
"Their beef is with Penn State," he said. "Penn State didn't need to accept those sanctions."
Several entities — at least one trustee, the family of Joe Paterno and a group of former players — have filed notices of appeal with the NCAA for the sanctions it imposed on Penn State for its role in the Sandusky scandal.
Although on Friday, that trustee said in an email to the board that he was refraining from further legal action while the matter is under consideration.
They argue, in part, that the NCAA was wrong relying on the findings of the Louis Freeh report. Penn State commissioned the former FBI director to complete that report on the university's response to the former football coach who has been convicted of sexually abusing boys on campus.
Gene Grabowski, senior vice president at Levick Strategic Communications, said if Penn State wants to get past the crisis it will have to find a way to get those appealing the decisions to stop. Otherwise, Grabowski said, from a communications perspective, the continuing story will be disastrous for the university.
"It keeps everyone thinking and talking about the past and old wounds, rather than moving forward," he said.
He compared it to Republicans wanting to talk about Watergate. He said while there may be more nuances and precise facts than have come out, the big truth is wrongdoing took place.
"The university needs to make a public call for moving forward, taking the penalties and asking everyone to come together," Grabowski said.
That may be what happens at 5 p.m. today, when trustees vote via teleconference on supporting accepting the NCAA sanctions.
Gary Roberts, dean and professor at the Indiana University Robert McKinney School of Law, Indianapolis, said he thinks the only entity that would have a legal standing to challenge the decision with the NCAA or in court would be the university itself.
"Having said that, who is the university? That gets kind of tricky," Roberts said.
He said that would depend on factors such as the university's governing documents, structure and tradition. In any case, a challenge would have to come from a majority of the board — not just a single member.
"Certainly I think a strong argument could be made that the NCAA did not have the legal authority to do to one of its members what it did because its own rules don't provide for it," Roberts said.
Roberts, a sports law expert, said he thinks the NCAA knew the legal risks, but was hoping Penn State wouldn't challenge them. The association assumed and appears to have been proven correct that the president and most trustees wouldn't want to put the university through a lengthy legal battle.
Fight on State! Some Trustees Have Guts!
Joel Myers, a long-time Penn State trustee, expressed support for new trustee Ryan McCombie's appeal Monday of the NCAA sanctions leveled against Penn State.
Myers, the founder, president and chairman of the board of State College-based AccuWeather, told StateCollege.com the NCAA's sense of fair play failed.
"(Ryan) served his country and I support what he's doing," Myers said of McCombie, a former Navy SEAL. "He wrote about fairness and justice and I support what he said – it's fundamentally unfair.
"The whole process was unfair and un-American."
McCombie was elected to the Penn State Board of Trustees this past May and started his term July 1. On Monday, he sent a letter to the entire board and a notice of appeal to the NCAA.
By Monday afternoon, a group of fellow trustees had already expressed support for McCombie's actions taken to appeal the sanctions dealt to the Penn State football team, which is facing a four-year postseason ban and scholarship reductions.
Myers said while the appeal is important, the board has also expressed sympathy for and pledged to aid the victims of Jerry Sandusky.
"We feel for the victims … we have great compassion for them and what they've gone through. We've taken action as a board and as a university to acknowledge that."
Myers said the NCAA's action is now making victims out of those who neither knew about or had anything to do with Sandusky's serial abuse.
"My belief is the NCAA 's sense of fair play failed," said Myers, the father of Dan Myers, Publisher and Owner of Lazerpro, the parent company of StateCollege.com.
On July 25, the board met behind closed doors at the Penn Stater for three hours to discuss Penn State President Rodney Erickson's acceptance of the sanctions, something he moved ahead with sans consent from the full board.
No action was taken at that meeting and board chairwoman Karen Peetz released a statement Aug. 1 saying the board and the university intend to comply with the sanctions and support Erickson.
McCombie's appeal is the second to challenge the NCAA sanctions.
The Paterno family announced Friday they would be filing an appeal to in an attempt to reconcile the "enormous damage" done to Penn State.
NCAA Vice President of Communications Bob Williams said later Friday on Twitter that "the Penn State sanctions are not subject to appeal."
Penn State Needs a NEW Board of Trustees
excerpted from Harrisburg Patriot News
A professor of sports history, Ron Smith, taught at Penn State from 1968 to 1996. He worked alongside former President Graham Spanier, Paterno, Sandusky, Curley and Schultz. Smith said the university has its work cut out for it in transitioning out of its top-down administrative ways. "It dictates from the top, and you better go along with it. It's been that way ever since I was there," he said.
A change agent for a university like Penn State and others like Tennessee, Alabama and Michigan, where football is pre-eminent, is more likely to be a streak of losing seasons and the loss of football luster, as opposed to dictates from independent authorities.
"It's an ingrained culture. It doesn't change just by its own nature," said Smith, who is researching the presidential papers of about 80 universities.
"Revolutions change. But there isn't going to be a revolution in intercollegiate sports unless something more drastic than what happened in Penn State happens, and it's drastic enough here," Smith said. "But you don't change culture quickly and the culture of students and the dominance of football and having stadiums the size of 100,000."
A former athletic director at three NCAA Division I schools doesn't think the hearts and minds of fans need to change. "Why shouldn't people who are Penn State graduates be proud of their institution, be supporters of that institution in many different ways?" asked Dave O'Brien, director of the sports management program at Drexel University. "The failure isn't that 100,000 people come to the stadium. That can be a good thing.
"The question has to be asked, why did the leadership of the university fail to act in a moral and legal manner with regard to suspicions and evidence in front of them regarding Sandusky conduct?"
The challenge before Penn State is doable, O'Brien said, pointing to scores of universities that have football programs as big and as laudable as Penn State's that are not mired in NCAA violations or criminal scandals.
"I understand athletics can sometimes play a more prominent role than it should at a university, but I also know that with proper leadership, athletics can play a suitable role and not an expanded one within a university culture."
Academic oversight of sports
One sure way to foster change is to return athletics to the purview of academics, said Smith, who in the 1980s served on the committee that moved Penn State athletics to the finance department. He said the then-vice president for finance and operations, Steve Garban, who recently resigned from the board of trustees, argued vehemently to have athletics moved from academics and placed under his office. Smith argued it should remain under academic oversight, something Vanderbilt University has done successfully. "It was a good model. It was a model other institutions had followed," he said. Paterno backed Garban's proposal to move the athletic program away from academics, and the move was sealed. A new football culture was ushered in, Smith said. "A lot of people don't think that makes a lot of difference, but I do," Smith said. "That can be changed and that would have changed the culture because the culture was changed when it was put under a money person that had no academic credentials. I think it changed it a lot." The football program became isolated and insular.
"Once you get isolated from other people, the tendency is to hide anything that might be bad," Smith said. "Instead of fixing it, you hide it. I think that's what happened." For more than three decades, the Penn State community basked in the prestige and money-earning engine of its football program.
A lawyer and previous athletic director at Temple, Northeastern and Long Beach State universities, O'Brien said all parties involved with those offices must be held accountable in the Sandusky scandal.
To date, he said, little discussion has taken place with regards to the failure of the board of trustees. The fact that Garban resigned should serve as a bellwether for other board members. "They need to do soul-searching about what level of complicity they have with regard to the scandal," O'Brien said.
Change will fail, Sestak said, if the university relies on a new president to set a new tone. Key positions and department heads must also all buy in and be granted leadership.
"It's emphasizing that you not just follow rules, people need to feel a valued part of the membership."
Erickson promises change
Penn State President Rodney Erickson has vowed that his university, while it cannot undo history, can become an agent for change and reaffirm its "core values of honesty, integrity and justice."
"I promise you, we will learn from our past and take the steps that will allow us to emerge and grow into a stronger, better university."
Those who have walked the classroom hallways — as well as sat on the Nittany Lions sidelines — say it will be a difficult task for the university to find a new tone for the role football plays on campus.
Change is inevitable for Penn State. Penn State must rededicate itself to its true mission — that of nurturing and protecting young lives. And for the university to fulfill the directives from the Freeh Report, it must put in place new leadership and a new board, and both must abide by the new mission.
"This is a large effort, and it doesn't change overnight," he said. "There are those that argue, 'You're going too far. This is going to harm the ethos, the warrior ethos that we need.' That's the issue at Penn State."

Pella Christian Baseball Finds Success in the Journey Together
Posted By Sports On July 30, 2012 @ 5:59 am In Today's Local Sports | Comments Disabled
An overall record of 12-23 is not what the Pella Christian baseball team had hoped for, but that does not mean the Eagles did not find success this past season. Head coach Brad Rolffs said his team grew together throughout the season, always came to practices and games ready to put forth their best effort, and genuinely enjoyed their time together playing baseball. It was a season of "nearly there" for the Eagles, who lost seven games by two runs or less, including their final game of the season – a 6-5 loss to PCM in the Class 2A District Semifinals.

Teaching children proper pedestrian and bicycle safety is an essential part of Walk to School activities. Safety trainings can insure that children are safe while using the healthiest forms of transportation. The following resources can be used to teach children and adults what they need to know before their next walk or bike trip to school.
The League of American Bicyclists offers two courses for children: "Kids I" trains parents to teach their children to ride a bike safely. "Kids II" is a 7 hour course for fifth and sixth graders that covers on-bike skills as well as choosing safe routes for riding. These courses are led by League Cycling Instructors (LCIs) that have been certified in BikeEd. Talk to your local bike coalition to find LCIs.
Bike Rodeos
Bike rodeos can be coordinated by the local community with assistance from the police department. This form of a bike safety clinic includes a miniature "chalk street" course set up in a parking lot for participants to learn where and how to apply bicycle safety rules. Bike rodeos can also include raffles, bike tune-ups and booths sponsored by local bike shops.

Thank God for people who care enough to do the right thing. My wife lost her purse out of the hatchback on her car. She was sick thinking about the impact this caused.

© Copyright 2015 Clayton News Daily
D.J. Curl, ELCA: When you hear about the Chargers' defense, names like Justin Thomason and Isaac Rochell usually pop up, and deservedly so. But when it comes to big plays, Curl has the knack for making his presence felt. He came up with an interception that got ELCA back on track last week in its region-championship victory against Holy Innocents'. He also had a two-interception game earlier this season against Manchester.
Travis Custis, Lovejoy: Most of the Wildcats' offensive attack centers around this junior running back. He has rushed for 1,209 yards on 184 carries with 24 touchdowns.
Jermaine Hough, Lovejoy: Sometimes his talents get overshadowed by other teammates, but this senior is a bigtime playmaker in all three facets of the game. He has 52 tackles in his ability to offer run support. The senior has a team-leading 17 pass breakups. He has done just as much damage on the special teams with three blocked punts and a blocked PAT.
Terrell Jordan, Drew: While most of the talk about the Titans has centered around their offense, the defense has held its own. The linebacker has 151 tackles, four fumble recoveries and has scored a pair of defensive touchdowns.
Chris Moody, Henry County: Moody has come up huge in back-to-back weeks just when the Warhawks needed him most. He had the only touchdown in the 7-0 victory over Drew and followed that performance with 407 total yards against Eastside in a 34-24 must-win victory.
Leon Prunty, Stockbridge: He's one of the big reasons why the Tigers are playing their first-ever home playoff game today, why they have had back-to-back playoff seasons for the first time ever. His stats have been affected by running the option, but those who pay close attention know that Prunty is a player.
Nathaniel Norwood, Lovejoy: The junior linebacker is a big reason the Wildcats have one of the top defenses in the state. He has 72.5 tackles, including an eye-popping 31 tackles for losses. Norwood has ability to get into the offensive backfield of the opponent to disrupt the play. He has 12.5 sacks and 41 quarterback hurries.
Cameron Sutton, Jonesboro: It is very rare for this talented junior to come off the field. On offense, he must be accounted for at all times as he lines up in the wideout position and occasionally at quarterback. He might be most dangerous on the special teams where he has tremendous break-away ability that has resulted in good field position for the Cardinals.
John Tatum, ELCA: He has been a force on offense all season, and with backfield mate Keyante Green ailing, has still been able to shoulder the load. He has averaged more than 10 yards a carry and more than 130 yards a game, earning notice from several colleges. He also plays at safety because ELCA likes his size (6-2, 215 pounds) and can't afford to leave him on the sidelines.
Dalvin Tomlinson, Henry County: The wrecking ball defensive end is one of the most sought-after players in the nation because he's a combination of brains and brawn — which makes life for the opposing quarterback a dicey proposition. He has 84 tackles in 10 games and eight sacks, disrupting the other guys' flow. Anybody who plays Henry County knows where he is at all times.
Jadarius West, Drew: The wide receiver came into the season with offers from SEC schools Kentucky and South Carolina. He has been a big reason that the Titans are making their first playoff appearance in school history. The speedy senior has an amazing 17 touchdowns. At times, he will take the direct snap from center in the Titans' "Wildcat" package.

Super Snacks!
If it's mid-afternoon and you're already out of gas, you may be tempted to fill up on M&M's and coffee (Two of my former favorite food groups!). But if you're like me, the crash a couple of hours later is even worse (only now my head hurts, too!) Next time you bottom out grab something that will get you back up and running for the rest of the day. A handful of almonds, a couple of fig bars or a banana buys me a little time. But if you really need to power through a project, go for a high performance snack.
Nutritionist and community outreach specialist for "Jimbos Naturally," Patti Milligan, recently turned me on to her secret snack. It's delicious. It's different. And it works! I convinced Patti to let me share it with you! "I love to experiment with snack recipes that combine unique flavors and creative pairings of ingredients," says Milligan. "Not only is this a favorite of mine, but a popular strategic snack request for meetings. I also make it for the kids' sports teams I consult." Here it is!
Patti's Power Snack: Spiced Nuts and Seeds
3 cups whole nuts (Pick your faves - raw varieties best)
¼ cup dry quinoa (Buy it in bulk at Jimbos. It's yummy and super-nutritious!)
¼ cup flaxseed
¼ cup sunflower seeds
2 tbsp honey
1 ½ tsp each of sea salt, cinnamon, cumin, cayenne pepper
2 egg whites
In a separate bowl, mix egg whites, honey and spices. Toss in nut mix. Spread in a single layer on a baking sheet. Bake at 325 degrees until dry, stirring occasionally about 20 minutes. Scrape from pan while cooking to avoid sticking. (16 servings. 178 calories each. Pack a bunch of Baggies and bring 'em along with you!)
Here's why it works!
~Nutritional highlights from Patti~
Quinoa and nuts – provide a great balance of complex carbohydrates and protein for steady blood glucose levels and weight control. The combo is critical for optimal brain function, especially focus and concentration. It combats energy dips and supports metabolism. It's rich in VB vitamins and minerals essential for immune health and energy production.
Flaxseeds – good source of healthy fats such as Omega 3 fatty acids – essential for immune health and overall well being. (Nuts/seeds also contain these healthy fats, just in smaller quantity.
Cinnamon – spice known to help control proper insulin levels and steady blood glucose.
Cumin and Cayenne – spices known in ancient cultures to add heat to the body, helping fuel optimal metabolism and support for digestion.
Honey – contains B vitamins and immune-supportive nutrients.
Make a big batch and put heaping handfuls into air-tight plastic bags or containers.
Now that's some "power snack!" Enjoy.

SPOKANE, Wash. -- Jasmine James scored 16 points and the fourth-seeded Lady Bulldogs rallied from a nine-point second-half deficit to win the NCAA Tournament Spokane Region semifinal, 61-59, against Stanford.
Jasmine Hassell and Tiaria Griffin contributed 13 points apiece, Shacobia Barbee grabbed 12 rebounds and Anne Marie Armstrong finished with 10 boards for Georgia (28-6), which will play second-seeded California or sixth-seeded LSU in the Elite Eight on Monday.
Chiney Ogwumike had 26 points and 12 rebounds to lead top-seeded Stanford (33-3), which was trying to become the first women's team to advance to six straight Final Fours. Amber Orrange contributed 17 points and eight rebounds for the Cardinal, who shot 29.4 percent in the second half.
Stanford went nearly six minutes without a field goal midway through the second half, allowing the Lady Bulldogs to turn a nine-point deficit into a two-point lead with eight minutes left. The lead continued to change hands until the Bulldogs scored four straight points to go ahead 60-56 with 23 seconds left.
Stanford scored the game's first nine points while the Lady Bulldogs missed their first 10 shots. Georgia regrouped to take a 22-21 lead with 6:07 left in the first half, but the Cardinal closed out the half on 13-5 run to take a 34-27 lead into the break.

Boundary Value Problems 2014, 2014:23 doi:10.1186/1687-2770-2014-23Published: 27 January 2014
Hartman-type conditions are presented for the solvability of a multivalued Dirichlet problem in a Banach space by means of topological degree arguments, bounding functions, and a Scorza-Dragoni approximation technique. The required transversality conditions are strictly localized on the boundaries of given bound sets. The main existence and localization result is applied to a partial integro-differential equation involving possible discontinuities in state variables. Two illustrative examples are supplied. The comparison with classical single-valued results in this field is also made.

UK ISPs agree to advertised speed standard
updated 05:00 pm EDT, Thu June 5, 2008
UK ISPs get ad standard
Ofcom, the UK communication industry's independent regulator, is planning to make a voluntary standard for Internet providers to follow when advertising their maximum connection speeds. More than 90 percent of the country's ISPs agreed to complying with the new code, which would give customers a more accurate comparison of performance between companies when shopping for a new provider.
The media watchdog is also launching a comprehensive broadband speed survey to compare if and how ISP's advertised speeds differ from actual ones. The companies who offer fixed-line broadband services will also need to commit to a few points under the voluntary code. These include providing an accurate estimate of maximum speeds users can expect, resolving technical issues to improve speeds, offer customers a lower-speed package when their advertised speed are inaccurate, provide information on usage limits and notify them when those limits are surpassed.
Representatives of consumer groups believe Ofcom would need to strictly monitor ISPs' adherence to the new standard, with multiple violations proving a mandatory standard needs to be developed. The Internet Service Providers' Association supports the idea and helped in its creation, and wishes to implement it for wireless service providers.

Britney Spears Launches 28-Day Countdown … But for What?
All eyes are on BritneySpears.com!
On Tuesday, the "Ooh La La" singer launched a countdown on her official site for 28 days from now … which is Tuesday, September 17 at 9:30 a.m. ET.
#AllEyesOnMe http://t.co/PBMqPsIRsx
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) August 20, 2013
What will be the big surprise that day? Brit Brit isn't saying yet, but there's good reason to believe it's new music. Could it be the album announcement? The release of her next single?
Britney Spears Reveals 'Recipe' for New Album
She's been hinting at a new album for months now, and not long after she launched the countdown, Britney added more fuel to the fire when she tweeted about being in the recording studio with Sia.
The song is both beautiful and heartbreaking @Sia. Evokes SO much emotion every time I hear it.
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) August 20, 2013
One of the most beautiful songs I have recorded in a LONG time
— Britney Spears (@britneyspears) August 20, 2013
The other possible Britney-centric news could be the confirmation that she will indeed have a Las Vegas residency. Although she has said it was likely, she's never revealed which hotel it would be at and when it would begin (so we can start planning our Sin City trips!).
What do you think will be Britney's big news? How excited are you to find out?

He is currently writing a script for a Viji thambi film 'Ladies and Gentleman'. This is a comedy film. Well once again Jagdish and Siddique team are making a comeback in this film as a lead actors. Shooting will commence on October.
Jagdish is also planning a Mammootty film in 2010. He will be doing the script and direction of the film. Ajay Chandran Nair will be producing the film. He was the producer of the film like Chota Mumbai.
Yodha 2 in 3D !

Navya Nair has been trying eveything possible to stay rooted in the film industry. Though she has carved a small niche for
herself in the Malayalam film industry with a handful of movies like Kavyam Yugapurushan and Violet, she wants to make it
big. In the absence of actresses Kavya Madhavan and Gopika she had found it easy to secure her position. But if the latest
news reports are to be trusted, Gopika is contemplating a comeback to the film industry.
Navya has got her goals set and so she has decided to unleash the glamour side of hers in the Tamil film industry. In her upcoming Tamil movie Rasikkum Seemane with Srikanth in the lead hero role, she has done some steamy scenes but only after having made her conditions clear. When she specifically asked them not to hand over her revealing photos to the media channels, the director also kept the still photographer away from the location when the intense bedroom scenes were shot.

Vinayan recently revealed to the press that the notorious gunda Omprakash was given a contract to kill him. This contract was given by his rivals in the opposing film organisation. He said that he recieved this information from an unidentified man through a phone call. He has registered a complaint with the police. Is this another crime thriller action off the screen?
