Cubans have long risked their lives trying to flee Fidel Castro's "socialist paradise" for Florida.
Their motive for braving the briny deep, often in un-seaworthy boats: They can no longer bear being ruled by communist creeps who deny them fundamental freedoms.
Starting Saturday, American Diana Nyad, at age 64, risked failing for a fifth time to swim from Cuba to Florida.
What was her motive?
Charleston City Councilwoman Kathleen Wilson, drawing on her own long-distance-swimming experience, gave this answer Tuesday: "It's the feeling of self-satisfaction, to maintain that high level of conditioning and to be able to achieve your goal."
Sounds demanding — and rewarding. And Wilson sounded excited that Nyad made it from Havana to Key West on attempt No. 5 Monday — and without a shark cage: "I was not a believer at first, but I was thrilled for her."
Wilson has reaped ample "self-satisfaction" from her own lengthy swims. Among the vast expanses of water she has crossed via her own power: the English Channel, Long Island Sound and the Strait of Gibraltar. And three years ago she took fewer than seven hours to swim the more than 16 miles from the Interstate 526 bridge over the Wando River around the Charleston peninsula to the I-526 bridge over the Ashley River.
Last September, at 49, Wilson made her longest swim, the 26-mile Molokai Channel between Hawaii's Oahu and Molokai. It took nearly 21 hours as she overcame strong crosscurrents and swells of up to 10 feet.
Six months later, Wilson, dazed into incoherence and suffering from mild hypothermia, had to give up in the 17-mile Cook Strait between the north and south islands of New Zealand with a mere three miles or so to go.
So, of course, she's going to try it again next year.
A longer way around
First, though, Wilson plans to swim 25 miles from the Highway 41 bridge over the Wando to the I-526 bridge over the Ashley next month. She estimates an 11-hour tour. She'll pick a date based on tide and water levels: "This is very meticulously planned."
Hey, the James Island wife and mother of two has to be a meticulous planner. She not only trains hard and travels the world on swimming challenges, she teaches swimming at MUSC's Wellness Center. She's unopposed for a third term on City Council. She's the Charleston Symphony Orchestra's harpist.
And though Wilson now is 50, she said, "There's plenty of swimming left in me."
She clearly has plenty of the personal discipline required for distance swimming: "I take from it the work ethic."
She lamented the shortage of such resolve these days, and stressed the focus needed "to swim all night and all day and then see the sun set."
While Wilson's athletic speciality is distance swimming, she draws continuing inspiration from another sport she followed growing up in the Pittsburgh area: "I take a lot of my cues from Chuck Noll," who coached her beloved Steelers to four Super Bowl championships.
Yet even we fans of "America's Team" (the Dallas Cowboys) should share at least a bit of Wilson's zeal for testing our physical capacities.
Maybe you think you can't run around the block anymore. Maybe you're wrong.
This much, however, is for sure: You won't know if you don't try. And you need not jump in the water to get wet.
You can simply sweat.
Getting those perspiration juices flowing clears not just your pores but your head.
Maybe you don't hike, bike, run, swim, surf or engage in other invigorating exertions because you fear other folks will laugh at the sight of you awkwardly going to and fro.
So what if they do?
Who's mocking whom?
Learn from Wilson's example. She said she's used to "being made fun of all the time" for her swimming adventures.
She even revealed that some fellow City Council members subject her to such ridicule.
Hey, they're just jealous because they know they couldn't stroke their way from one side of Colonial Lake to the other.
And you don't have to swim the English Channel, Cook Strait or Shem Creek to reap exercising's health, attitude and insight benefits.
But before scheduling a long-distance walk from the Isle of Palms side of Breach Inlet to Wild Dunes and back, do some "meticulous planning" of your own on tides.
Otherwise, you might find your return trip blocked by the Atlantic Ocean.

UFC Live: Kongo vs. Barry marks the second mixed martial event this weekend after the latest installment of the Strikeforce Challengers series on Friday. It also caps the fifth consecutive weekend of action in a busy two-month slate of MMA.
What's more, the frenzy isn't over. Not with UFC 132: Cruz vs. Faber cued up next weekend as the organization gets an early jump on the country's 235th birthday.
Sure, the fourth edition of the UFC on Versus represents a bit of a lull in the all-you-can-eat (metaphorically) buffet of flying leather and straining joints, but who cares? You can't have title fights and top contenders in the Octagon every weekend, at least not yet.
And as far as non-title, non-cusp-of-a-title fights go, this collection ain't too shabby.
Or at least it wasn't until Nate "The Great" Marquardt was a Saturday scratch from the main event.
Originally, Marquardt was supposed to tussle with Anthony "Rumble" Johnson, but that bout had to be scrapped thanks to yet another injury suffered by Johnson. In related news, Rumble is apparently contemplating a nickname change to "Papier Mache."
Weak jokes aside, the UFC scrambled its stable once Johnson's rotator cuff proved to be a deal breaker and the contingency plan was a winner.
Rick "The Horror" Story is one of the most underrated yet dangerous fighters in the welterweight division. He doesn't have the flashy appeal of Johnson, but he just might be a bigger challenge at 170 pounds. Alas, Story now faces Charlie "The Spaniard" Brenneman in a ho-hum confrontation.
However, all is not lost.
Pat "HD" Barry and Cheick Kongo now move their pairing of plus strikers to the main event. Additionally, Matt "Meathead" Mitrione is set to continue his assault on the heavyweight ranks and John "Doomsday" Howard takes his explosive act back to the cage in hopes of ending a two-fight losing streak.
As always, Bleacher Report will be cage-side and couch-side, bringing you live results and reactions every step of the way.
So join us on Sunday at 6 PM ET/3 PM PT for the preliminary bouts on Facebook before the proceedings go live on Versus at 9 PM ET/6 PM PT.

Freddie Roach does deserve 90 percent of the blame for his fighters losses
I normally hate when fighters blame the trainers, but Freddie Roach needs to be humbled. I think he is the main reason his fighters are losing bad, mainly because he lack of defense teaching. 90 percent blame goes to roach and 10 percent because its the fighter who has to fight, but Roach has to get them ready with the right game plan.
I think in this case he is the cause for his fighters losing and looking like crap. Floyd Mayweather Sr. said something very interesting in regards to the Pacquiao vs. Marquez 4 fight, he said Pacquiao looked great he said Pac was using a lot of head movements and feints and beating Marquez up in there. But he said you know Roach never taught that to Manny, he said someone else came in camp and taught Manny those defensive moves because Roach doesn't have any defense and can't teach something he doesn't know, and the sad thing is nobody came in to teach Manny that, those were the same moves Manny used against Barrera he used to move his head side to side like that.
If u watched 24/7 you now know it was Pacman all along who taught himself not Roach, So Pacman is just with Roach out of loyalty and trains himself. Roach said he doesn't tell Pacman what to do Pacman tells him what to do and comes up with the strategy and before the KO Pacman was looking pretty good.
So those three fights which Roach devised a game plan that all failed, yet when Roach doesn't devise a game plan and allows Manny to do his own way Manny looked much better, despite making fatal mistake of lunging in with his hands down at the end.
Roach fighters have no defense they do the same three punch combo and roll out and one fighter who tried to use it but failed miserably was Linares he got his ass whooped trying to use that three punch combo and roll out and under, all Roach does is act like an ego maniac celebrity now, he let the fame and attention get to his head, he used to be a friendly guy now he is rude to people, kicks them out of his gym, doesn't like signing autographs, and was talking so much crap saying my fighter will KO this guy in so and so rounds, only to have it backfire.
Roach is just an offensive mitt man, same mitt routine, nothing special, no defensive techniques nothing.
I am sorry to say this but Roach is pretty much overrated and was just lucky that Pacquiao came to his gym, a good trainer will help you learn some defense and offense.
The only positive thing I have to say bout Roach is what he did for Manny during the time Murad Muhammad was robbing him blind, he stuck up for him and went to trial with Manny and helped him out. But as a trainer he hasn't done much for his fighters defensively.
I feel sorry for Frankie Gomez, I hope he doesn't face the same fate of Amir Khan, Chavez Jr, Linares and Pacquiao.

to be fair only one who put the blame on freddie was Khan, neither Chavez jr or Pacquiao has place blame on freddie. Linares was actually doing great against demarco till his face couldent hold up, cant train skin tissue!

ugh one of the reasons why I seldom venture here anymore.
so easy to ***** on someone when they're down and forget how successful they were when things were up
It's funny because seems like the Manny debacle is what is drawing the ire of this thread yet
most thought Manny was robbed against Bradley
he's held his own and then some against JMM
blown out everyone else in his path
Manny is an offensive fighter who uses his offense as his defense at times to pin this on solely on Roach is laughable
as for the others
Linares was clearly outboxing DeMarco before he gassed and decided he needed to trade
Chavez Jr is a man onto his own island no one gets to him. In fact, the mere fact that Chavez has been as successful as he has been should be more testament to Roach than anything
Amir Khan I do agree a bit Roach's style didn't mesh well with Roach but it's not like Hunter did a 180 with him either

Pacquiao's gameplan was working. You're saying Sr. said it wasn't down to Roach. While it may be true I struggle to believe that.
Khan was beating Garcia, Roach warned him before the third and fourth rounds but Khan didn't listen.
Roach is not a defensive orientated trainer. Probably a fair comment, he has said as much himself in recent weeks.
Who should train Pacquiao instead?

The Melchtal stretches from Kerns between the Sarnersee and Lake Lucerne southwards to the Stöckalp, where a cableway (suitable for pushchairs and wheelchairs) gives access to the invitingly green, high valley of the Melchsee-Frutt. The sunny little village on the shores of the Melchsee has plenty of barbecue spots, a playground and a pleasant walking path to Tannalp. Another highlight is the Fruttli Train, offering popular adventure rides between Melchsee-Frutt and Tannalp.
Picturesque Melchtal, once a of pilgrimage, is home to the Benedictine Monastery Convent of St. Niklaus von Flüe, named after the hermit popularly known as Bruder Klaus. The huge sports complex in the Melchtal is geared primarily towards group travellers, clubs and schools.
Situated between the Bernese Oberland holiday destination of Hasliberg and the central Swiss resort of Engelberg, the Melchsee-Frutt is a popular hiking area. The Hasliberg - Melchsee-Frutt - Engelberg mountain trail is a classic and the six-hour, four-lake section from Melchsee-Frutt via Tannalp, Engstlenalp, Jochpass and Trübsee to Engelberg is a particular favourite. Large sections of the walk can be shortened by using the chairlifts and mountain railways.
In summer the Frutt is a fabulous sea of flowers. Keen anglers are not the only visitors to be captivated by the deep blue mountain lakes of the Melchsee and Tannensee, which are teeming with trout. There are also plenty of adventures to be had climbing the imposing Boni rock faces.
A altitude da área de esportes de inverno de Melchsee-Frutt varia entre 1.080 e 2.225m. Este alto vale, com suas ensolaradas trilhas para caminhadas de inverno, ausência de carros e pistas de esqui nórdico, encontra-se flanqueada por duas áreas de esqui: Balmeregghorn e Erzegg, com amplas descidas cheias de sol e o Fruttli Park, para estilo livre. Pistas mais íngremes descem do Monte Bonistock até Stöckalp, com uma diferença de mais de 1.000 metros de altitude. A descida de 8 quilômetros até Stöckalp é simplesmente imperdível para os amantes de trenó. No Parque Fruttli, crianças podem se divertir no tapete mágico e no carrossel de esqui.
- Bruder Klaus – in the 15th century, the peacemaker and recluse Niklaus von der Flüe, popularly known as Bruder Klaus, sought seclusion as a hermit in the gorge near Flüeli-Ranft.
- The highest covered bridge in Europe – the 'Hohe Brücke' between Kerns and Sachseln, is 48 metres long. Built in 1893, it spans the Ranft Gorge near Flüeli at a height of 100 metres.
- Melchsee-Frutt panorama lift – the viewing platform almost 40 metres above the Melchsee offers a stunning view of the impressive mountain scenery.
Principais Eventos
- Tannalp Fair and Bonistock Fair – folk festivals with yodelling competitions in the high-lying valley of the Melchsee-Frutt (July and/or August).
- Melchsee-Frutt wrestling and alpine festival – wearing drill trousers, the heavy weights in alpine wrestling compete in the sand against the imposing backdrop of the mountains (August).
- Alpine cattle descent, Kerns – after a "summer holiday" of around three months, the beautifully decorated animals return to the valley.

MANSFIELD - Dr. Terrence James Roberts, one of the "Little Rock Nine," told a small crowd assembled at the university campus here what he has learned in looking back at his experiences while working to integrate a public school in Little Rock, Ark., in 1957.
The author of "Lessons from Little Rock" told a group of students and community members that he learned to play by the rules of "separate but equal," as were practiced when he was a youth throughout the south in the 1940s and 50s, because "if I didn't obey them I could be killed."
Roberts told the story of an incident that brought that to light in a big way in 1954, the same year, incidentally, that the Supreme Court in Brown vs. Topeka, changed its mind on the matter of separate but equal and made it no longer legal to discriminate on the basis of color.
He brought up the case of Emmitt Till, a young black boy who was murdered while on vacation in Mississippi for slighting a white woman. Roberts realized he was the same age as young Emmitt.
He recalled an incident at the Crystal Burger, where people of color could go in and order food, but sitting down was not allowed.
"I was 13, and sometimes at that age, we forget the rules. I ordered my food and then I sat down," he said.
"Everything in that establishment stopped, and as they turned their heads to look at me, the message was palpable. I jumped down and ran out, crying, fearful, angry, in despair, but it was my epiphany, and I said to myself I can no longer go through this charade of obeying these laws. I realized how vulnerable I was at that point. The law of the land said it was OK to take me out with impunity," he recalled.
After the school board in Little Rock decided to obey the law and allow integration, Roberts said he volunteered to be one of the nine who would attend the all-white Central High School.
Initially, the nine young students were not allowed to enter because the governor of the state had called out the National Guard to block their entry.
But the next day, the president of the United States, Dwight D. Eisenhower, dispatched the 101st Airborne to escort the students into the school.
Not only did they escort them that day, but they remained with the students throughout the year to protect them from the white students who did not want them there.
"They all felt superior, which was not true, and their anger came out when they saw it," he said.
Roberts encouraged those in attendance to "figure out how to love, honor and embrace those who are different from what we happen to be in the short time we have on this Earth."
"Life is a pretty short enterprise. About 80 years. What will you do with that time span? It is very short when you compare it to eternity. You are here, and because you are here you have a responsibility to do something for the common good," he said.
He spoke of learning to "love his enemy" in church, but also from the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, who as a young minister, came to speak at his high school.
"He said if we were going to be non-violent we had to say we loved our enemy, otherwise it wouldn't work," he said.
In response to a question from a student about how soon after 1954 change began to happen in this country, he said, "we're working on it."
Roberts asked those in attendance to donate to a foundation established by the nine to provide scholarships to students at www.littlerock9.org.

ALBANY – In the quest to make New York State the Nevada of the East, Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo is pushing his casino-expansion effort in his newly proposed state budget.
Using the budget process gives him the upper hand in negotiations with the State Legislature, which has less budget-making power than New York governors.
With New York already among the nation's top gambling centers, Cuomo's budget plan defines how he believes the initial phase of a casino-expansion effort should be undertaken if voters approve a statewide referendum this fall.
The governor has said he wants the initial three casinos – of seven he wants built on non-Indian lands – to be located upstate as an economic-development boost. While Cuomo is keeping his cards close to the vest, there has been speculation that the first casinos could be located in the Catskills, the Saratoga Springs area and the Adirondacks.
An examination Wednesday of the finer details of his proposed 2013 budget shows that the governor has now defined "upstate," though he is still not specific about where the casinos should be built.
The new budget plan would prohibit the first three casinos from being built in New York City, Long Island or Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties. He does not specifically state that none of the three casinos would be in Western New York, as he previously had suggested.
Cuomo said Tuesday that his plan to restrict the initial round of casino expansion to upstate is "one of the most exciting opportunities" the state has to help upstate New York. The Legislature last year gave first approval to a constitutional amendment that would allow up to seven casinos on non-Indian lands. If lawmakers approve the measure again, it proceeds to a November referendum.
The proposed casino amendment does not address where future casinos would be located. Lawmakers say they want to be more specific in the separate, "enabling" legislation so that all seven sites are identified at least by regions. That could pose a problem for Cuomo's idea to limit the first three to upstate, which he says needs an economic jump-start.
But if the initial round of casino construction were allowed to be open statewide, casino developers might want to build new gambling halls only in New York City.
Cuomo recently suggested that the large area of Western New York – essentially all the area west of state Route 14, between Rochester and Syracuse stretching from Lake Ontario to Elmira – would not be open for new casino development. That is because the Seneca Nation, in its 2002 compact with the state, has an exclusive right to operate in that zone with its three casinos in Niagara Falls, Buffalo and Salamanca.
But Cuomo left some wiggle room, saying he would "honor legal agreements that are in good standing."
Whether the 2002 compact remains in "good standing" is in question because the state and the Senecas have been at odds for several years, with the tribe contending that the state violated the compact by permitting new forms of gambling in the region, such as casino facilities at racetracks. The Senecas have withheld more than $500 million in revenue-sharing payments to the state, and the matter is in arbitration. No one knows whether the compact will be honored by either side.
The budget that Cuomo proposed this week makes no mention of banning new casinos from areas such as the exclusivity zone held by the Senecas. The new casino language in the budget plan leaves it to a new state Gaming Commission, being formed Feb. 1, to pick the operators and locations.
The governor's legislation also states that prospective casino operators should show that they have "significant support" from local governments and communities that might be home to any new casinos. The language is vague about how such support will be shown, but Cuomo has dismissed the idea of allowing localities to hold separate votes – as has been done in some other states – to determine if a community wants a casino development.
Cuomo's legislation stipulates that 90 percent of any proceeds from the casinos go into the state's dedicated funding for public schools, with a separate 10 percent allocated for property tax relief in the host localities.
Since Cuomo floated the idea of putting the first three casinos at some unknown locations upstate, critics have said that it is inappropriate to ask voters statewide to consider a major gambling expansion without being told at least the general locations of all seven casinos.
Not knowing where future casinos would be located "is a concern of mine, and it's also going to be a concern of any potential investor not knowing if there's the possibility of competition being located nearby," said Assemblyman J. Gary Pretlow, D-Mount Vernon, chairman of the Racing and Wagering Committee. Pretlow wondered why a casino developer would invest several hundred million dollars in a multiyear planning and construction effort if, down the road, new competition would be permitted nearby.
Pretlow believes that voters will approve a referendum if the Legislature gives second approval to the constitutional change to permit full-blown casinos – including table games, such as poker, now banned at racetrack casinos. "But I think it would be a lot better if that referendum had enabling legislation behind it, showing where all the casinos were going to be," he said.
New York already has nine racetrack-based casinos, as well as six Indian-owned casinos and an ever-expanding state Lottery program.
Cuomo, in his budget plan, wants to lift restrictions that were imposed on the controversial Quick Draw game when it was introduced in 1995. The Cuomo administration, in its proposed budget, argues that the game "has proved no more likely to be abused than other lottery games."
Among the last restrictions that Cuomo wants lifted are a ban on establishments, such as bars, that do not have at least 2,500 square feet of space and the current law that requires someone to be at least 21 years old to play Quick Draw on premises that serve alcohol. Lottery games would still be illegal for those younger than 18.
The budget plan says lifting those restrictions would "strengthen the game's ability to produce additional sales and earnings." Cuomo estimates that the Quick Draw plan will generate $24 million annually in revenues to Albany.
Putting the casino-expansion language into the bill gives an edge to Cuomo because lawmakers cannot unilaterally change his "language bills'' that describe budget policies. If Cuomo wanted to, he could force lawmakers to choose between taking his plan or forcing a government shutdown. It is a route he is also taking with his plans to raise the minimum wage.

The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing; they each miss someone very special to them, who had to be left behind.

The Westminster Difference
At Westminster, small is big. Our small, private liberal arts college has demonstrated success for over 135 years and is consistently top-ranked by USNews & World Report and the Princeton Review. Westminster nurses are the first to be hired because employers know that our graduates have the skills and competencies to lead teams and organizations. Our curriculum prepares nurses to be creative, problem-solvers with the ability to think critically and adapt to dynamic working environments. Our close-knit community cultivates friendships with faculty, other nursing professionals and local healthcare leaders giving you a broad base of connections to advance your career.
Faculty Mentorship
You'll learn first-hand from professors who hold the top degrees in their fields. Our outstanding, caring faculty will mentor you every step of the way and become partners in your learning. Your success is their mission.
Over a Century of Caring
Westminster's College of Nursing history began with the founding of the St. Mark's Hospital School of Nursing in 1894. The school opened on April 1st of that year and was the first nurses' training school in Utah. The first Nursing Director was Sister Mary Mitchell, who received her training from the Florence Nightingale Training School of St. Thomas Hospital in London.
In the early days things were very different for the nurse trainees. Students were not required to have a high school diploma. When the school opened nurses spent two years training, until 1898 when the program was extended to three years. They worked twelve hour shifts in St. Mark's Hospital during the day and took classes at night. They were required to be in their dorms, which were in the basement of the hospital until 1907, by 10:00 p.m. and were not permitted to marry.
By 1943, students were receiving college credit and in 1948 St. Mark's affiliated themselves with Westminster College to support the students' academic needs. In 1955, Nancy Bankhead became the first African-American graduate and in 1963, Kenneth Ross Church became the first male graduate.
Since those early days and throughout our history, Westminster has been dedicated to providing the best possible education to nurses. Now, Westminster nurses are in high demand and employers know they are the best prepared for varied challenges of today's healthcare environments.
St. Marks-Westminster School of Nursing early beginnings lay a foundation of excellence.

Defense struggles
UNIVERSITY PARK - Penn State's defense held Ohio State to seven points and 145 yards in the first half, but the Buckeye offense scored 21 points and gained 232 yards in the second half to pull away.
"It's definitely disappointing," linebacker Gerald Hodges said.

Christian Hackenberg takes in the game Saturday at Beaver Stadium.
The third-down issue from earlier this season came back to bite the Lions again. The Buckeyes converted only 3-of-10 third downs in the first half but were successful on 5-of-6 in the second.
"When it's time to get off the field, we've got to get off the field and make a play," linebacker Michael Mauti said. "We just didn't play well enough to win the game. ... It's the defense's responsibility to get off the field, and third down, we've got to make a play, make a stop."
The Lions sacked Braxton Miller four times and kept him in check through the air, aside from a 72-yard TD pass that accounted for more than half his passing yards. But the Buckeyes rushed for 234 yards - 134 by Miller - and the PSU defense appeared to wear down in the second half.
"We've got to get back on Monday and look at the film just to find the mistakes that allowed them the second half to come out the way they did," Hodges said.
Blocked punt sparks PSU
The Lions scored first on a huge special teams play midway through the second quarter. Mike Hull went unblocked to the punter and blocked Ben Buchanan's kick, then Michael Yancich pounced on it in the end zone for a 7-0 lead.
"No one touched me, so I was just full sprinting right there," said Hull, who was almost close enough to the punter to tackle him.
"It was pretty awesome, heart rate was going," he said of the block. "I just saw it open up and just knew I had to come through for the team."
Hull also made a heads-up play after seeing the ball on the ground.
"He blocked the punt, and as he was going down, I actually saw him and he was going to fall on it at about the 1-yard line," Yancich said. "But he actually swiped it into the end zone because he told me after the play that he saw me."
Yancich said scoring the touchdown was "truly a tremendous feeling."
"Words can't describe what was going through my mind and my body after I got up," he said.
Ficken bounces back
Place-kicker Sam Ficken said he battled a quad injury that limited his practice time during the week.
"I'm fine, though," he said. "It didn't really bother me too bad today. ... You've got to rest, first off. This past week they gave me a little opportunity to rest as much as possible, rehabbing it two or three times a day."
Ficken had a strong showing on kickoffs and said he didn't think his health played any role in coach Bill O'Brien deciding not to let him attempt a 37-yard field goal in the second quarter.
"I don't think that had anything to do with me being healthy or not," he said. "It's still a short field goal."
Ficken's long this season is 34 yards.
Punter Alex Butterworth had a good night, averaging 41.2 yards on five kicks and pinning the Buckeyes inside the 20 four times.
Tough crowd for Erickson
Penn State President Rodney Erickson was loudly booed when introduced during a halftime ceremony. Erickson is not popular with many fans because he accepted the NCAA sanctions.
Recruiting showcase
Penn State's largest turnout of recruits this season was on-hand to witness the Lions' loss. The number and quality of the prospects might have been the one upside to the setback.
"Quite a few kids I talked to were just blown away with what they saw," said Greg Pickel, the recruiting analyst for FightOnState.com.
Current Nittany Lion commits Christian Hackenberg and Adam Breneman were on hand, and pledges Jordan Smith, Kasey Gaines, Brandon Bell, Andrew Nelson and Tanner Hartman also were believed to have attended.
Among the top prospects Penn State still is pursuing that were supposed to attend were seniors like Meadville cornerback Artrel Foster, Bishop McDevitt receiver Brian Lemelle, Virginia safety Malcolm Cook, Lancaster Catholic running back Roman Clay and New York cornerback Sterling Parks, as well as juniors like Cedar Cliff quarterback Andrew Ford, Gateway safety Montae Nicholson, New Jersey offensive tackle Quenton Nelson, Washington defensive backs Omar Truitt and De'Andre Payne, Delaware linebacker Troy Reeder, New Jersey receiver Chris Goodwin, New Jersey athlete Marques Little and Virginia defensive tackle Ricky Walker.
Standout Central Valley sophomore cornerback Jordan Whitehead also was expected.
Another familiar name in the group was Zayd Issah. The Central Dauphin linebacker and reigning Class AAAA co-player of the year who committed and then reopened his recruitment came to the game with teammate Drew Scales, an elusive running back who is a walk-on candidate.
Although considered a long shot to wind up at Penn State, Issah sent out a positive message via Twitter before kickoff.
"Lovin this PSU hospitality!!" Issah tweeted.
Maryland running back Richie Anderson and Alabama defensive tackle Rod Crayton were scheduled to make official visits for the weekend of the game. Anderson is the son of the former Nittany Lion standout running back of the same name - he's currently committed to Maryland but is continued a player who might switch to Penn State.
However, he also might have to race another speedy, smallish back who was at the game for what figures to be one slot in the 2013 class: Florida Plant High School's Wesley Bullock.
"We said it was unlike anything he's ever seen," Pickel said. "I think they made an impression. As far as general impression, I think it was very good."
News and notes
PSU's game captains were: LB Michael Mauti, LB Gerald Hodges, QB Matt McGloin, C Matt Stankiewitch, DT Jordan Hill. All of the seniors took the field behind those five for the opening coin toss. ... TE Kyle Carter had his left ankle taped walking off the field after the game. There was no update on his status. ... The teams combined for only six points and six punts in a scoreless first quarter. The Lions still haven't allowed a point in the opening quarter this season (66-0). ... Pete Massaro started at DE in place of Deion Barnes. ... PSU won the toss and deferred.

UNIVERSITY PARK - The Penn State women's basketball team entered this season as the defending Big Ten regular-season champions and the No. 8 team in the country.
Playing as a prohibitive favorite throughout the year that followed proved to be among the Lady Lions' biggest challenges.
"I don't think we did a great job of playing as the hunted," Penn State coach Coquese Washington said. "That's one of the lessons that our program has to learn. There were times when we could have handled that role, that challenge better."
Washington spoke Thursday at the Bryce Jordan Center, nine days after Penn State was upset by Louisiana State, 71-66, in the second round of the NCAA tournament.
That loss ended the Lady Lions' season at 26-6. Though Penn State won another Big Ten title, the team stumbled to a 3-3 finish and its early exit was unexpected for a team that reached the Sweet 16 the year before and had thoughts of a deep tournament run.
"Obviously, we're not happy with how our season ended," said Alex Bentley, one of five seniors whose career ended with the loss to LSU. "I still haven't gotten over it. I'm sure most of my teammates, or all of my teammates, haven't gotten over it."
"It's disappointing because you want to finish on a higher note," added Washington. "I choose to focus on the full picture and not wallow over one loss. [We'll] learn lessons from how we finished down the stretch and try to be better at it next year."
Those lessons include how to play as the favorite. Penn State entered this year as the defending conference champion for the first time since the 2004-05 season.
"The year before, we hadn't won a championship yet," Maggie Lucas said. "It was definitely something new for us and something we had to learn how to handle. We need to learn how to handle it better, knowing that we're going to get everyone's best shot. We had to adjust to the adjustments teams are making to us."
Moving forward, Washington said she expects a different mentality from her team.
"When you have programs that have been there and done that for so long, it's transferred," she said. "These kids didn't have anybody to transfer that to them. They didn't have anybody to teach them. They had to go through those experiences on their own."
The Lady Lions will have a decidedly different look next season, when they'll be playing for a third consecutive Big Ten title and fourth straight trip to the NCAA tournament. Gone will be Bentley, Nikki Greene, Mia Nickson, Gizelle Studevent and Marisa Wolfe, all part of a senior class that helped to win 77 games over the past three seasons and return the team to national prominence.
In their place will be seven freshmen, the program's largest recruiting class. Washington said the 2013-14 season will be like starting from scratch.
"We've had the privilege and the luxury the past three years of knowing what we wanted to do offensively, defensively, knowing what people's strengths and weaknesses were," she said. "We just had to tweak things. Now, it's going to take us some time to figure out what people are good at."
Lucas, the reigning Big Ten Player of the Year and second team All-America, is the only player whose role is expected to remain the same.
"I think other people are going to step up," she said. "Their roles are going to change and they're going to get better."
Lucas said she was ready to move on from the loss to LSU, which she described as the hardest she's ever had.
"LSU outplayed us on that day and, looking back, it's not fun to think about," she said. "It's over. We're looking forward to getting back in the gym and getting better for next year."

For the most part, LEGO Indiana Jones 2 on the DS is boring and the control panels are unstable. The level design is restrained and since the areas are tiny, extensive explorations are not possible.
Lowly Worm
Nintendo DS
There is nothing new with the fundamental formula. A chapter of the game is started with smashing everything in bits and pieces, solve simple puzzles and amass tons of LEGO studs and consequently, purchase brand new characters and do some cheating. The focal point of the game play is still fun to some extent, but since games have been played many times before, it is lackluster and become monotonous.
What makes the LEGO Indiana Jones 2 distinct from its counterparts is that the setting of the key story line is situated in the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull. You will have the chance to collect studs on a rock boat which is presumed to be a throwback of the entrance of the Last Crusade These challenges will compensate you with hats that are golden and which is the usual take on the golden treasure chests.
For the most part, LEGO Indy 2 on played on the DS is boring and the control panels are unstable. The level design is restrained and since the areas are tiny, extensive explorations are not possible. Though there are areas to return to and retry when you have the particular characters, the experience is still unexciting. The jumping aspect is not as receptive as it should be, thus several section on the platforms can be upsetting.
With regards to the specific controls of the DS, all the actions can be performed with the use of D-Pad and face buttons. You can also opt to swipe your thumb at the lower portion of the screen in order to carry players and objects as well as sway your whip. On the other hand, secret collection in LEGO Indy 2 is entirely handled properly and despite the fact that the list of unlockables is shorter in contrast to other LEGO games, there are still numerous objects to look for. So to uncover the various challenges and in a way let you earn golden hats, the first thing that you will do is take the journey and search for pieces of map.
There is really not much to see in the illustration perspective considering that storytelling is performed by means of texts and simple impressions. Even if the images are drawn properly and with good sense of humor, the text of the story is quite tedious and dull.
There is however, a welcoming feature of the game both on the DS and the PSP and that is the presence of WiFi game for 2 players. Overall, there are better ways to spend your money rather than just smashing stuff and collecting studs, though for the most part, it could still be rewarding in any way.

Fifty percent of Americans believe the country's best days are behind us, according to the findings of a USA Today/Gallup pollreleased Tuesday.
That's slightly higher than the 47 percent of respondents who have a more optimistic outlook about the country's future. The poll showed a sharp divergence in the views between Democrats and Republicans. Sixty-nine percent of Democrats said the country's best days are still ahead of us, while 74 percent of Republicans said the best days are behind us....

One of the best NASCAR Driver of all time. The only thing i ponder about why people add definitions that are highly disrespectful. Look at it this way, in 1992, Richard Petty retired. NASCAR ratings were at an all time low. Since 4 races after Daytona in 2001, the ratings for NASCAR have gone down 38%. 9 races after Dale died was the first time EVER a track was not sold out. Think about it that way. Only a crapload of America watched NASCAR because of Dale. There will never be another intimidator like Dale.

por Freyguy 15 de Julho de 2008
One of the greatest race car drivers ever, who held 7 championships until he died at the age of 49 in the 2001 Daytona 500, when on the last lap, last turn he suddenly drifted down to the apron and barreled straight on to the retaining wall going an estimated 185 mph. His restraint snapped on impact and was instantly killed, and the interior of the car was badly damaged, and very bloody. Even drivers in other racing types consider Dale Earnhardt to be a true racing legend.
Going 200 mph and turning left for 3 hours is alot harder than you think. Stock cars have absolutely no traction control, or ABS system or any other driver aids, and finding traction going at that speed is difficult as hell, and at the same time being inches away from competition going 5 wide down the turns. Unlike most drivers, Dale Earnhardt was fearless, and made other drivers shit their pants when he came near them. He was nicknamed "The Intimidator"

Literally The Redneck God; the Father of the Son: Dale Earnhardt, Jr., also known as The Redneck Jesus. Ever since his "tragic death", Dale Earnhardt has been mourned and worshipped more than ever by his millions of worshippers, as evident by the many number 3 stickers seen all over trucks throughout the South and the southern Midwest.
For the southerners and midwestern rednecks who aren't real Christians, they instead worship The Redneck God (Dale Sr.) and The Redneck Jesus (Dale Jr.)

There is some potential good news and some bad news for residents who attend Allentown City Council meetings.
The good news is council may change its policy to allow the public to speak on bills when they are introduced -- at least on a trial basis.
Currently, proposed legislation is introduced with no discussion by members of City Council and the public is not allowed to speak.
The bad news, at least to some residents, is council may require people who want to speak at meetings to sign in when they arrive -- and write down the subject they want to talk about.
Council also may allow members of the public to make Power Point presentations at its meetings, but they may get only three minutes to do so.
Those issues involving public involvement in council meetings were discussed Thursday night by its three-member Rules, Intergovernmental Relations and Strategy Committee.
Council president Julio Guridy, who chairs the committee, said its recommendations will be presented to the full council in early May.
Guridy said he wants meetings to be run "efficiently, effectively and in the shortest amount of time possible."
The committee meeting was attended by only five residents, all regulars at City Council meetings.
Four of them voiced opposition to the idea of requiring sign-in sheets.
Council vice president Ray O'Connell, who serves on the rules committee, pushed hard for City Council to allow members of the public to speak when new ordinances are introduced.
Currently, brief summaries of those ordinances are read by the city clerk and then they immediately are assigned to committees by the council president, with no discussion by council members.
That also is one of the few times during a meeting when the public is not allowed to go to the podium to speak. That practice has spurred some strong objections from members of the public at previous council meetings, especially when controversial pieces of legislation are being introduced.
O'Connell wants that practice changed, so both council members and the public can speak on ordinances being introduced. "You're giving the public a chance to ask a question about the bill."
Guridy and Cynthia Mota, the third member of the committee, disagreed.
They argued that council members may not know enough about a piece of legislation being introduced to answer any questions about it.
"I don't see any harm in it," O'Connell said repeatedly. "I just don't think we should shut out the public."
"We're not shutting them out," countered Guridy. "It's just not the appropriate time for them to talk about the bill because we don't have all the information."
Guridy said people can offer questions and comments on proposed legislation by attending the public meeting of whatever committee is assigned to review it.
"You get into the meat and potatoes when you have a committee meeting," agreed O'Connell. "We can say 'we don't have enough information to answer that question, please come to the committee meeting and we'll hash it out.'"
O'Connell doesn't expect many people will come to the podium to address council when bills are introduced. "But it's fair to give them a shot to come up and say 'what is that bill about?'"
Guridy predicted the change advocated by O'Connell will just be a waste of time that makes meetings last longer.
"Every time an ordinance is introduced, people will come up and speak about it," predicted Guridy. "Everyone will want to speak about it."
"We already give the public a lot of leeway and dialogue," said O'Connell. "I don't see this extending our meetings much longer then they normally are."
Saying O'Connell is "obviously very adamant about this," Guridy said he would be willing to do it on a trial basis for six months "to see how it works."

Volunteer disaster team heads to Indonesia
31 May 2006
Oregon, USA: US-based Northwest Medical Teams is sending highly trained medical volunteers to the island of Java on Tuesday to help care for thousands of survivors of Saturday's massive earthquake centered near the Indonesian city of Yogyakarta.
A registered nurse from Gig Harbor, WA, a Florida physician, a nurse from Illinois and a physician's assistant from Montana will depart on Tuesday for Jakarta. The team will spend three weeks in the earthquake zone. Each will bring medical supplies of critically needed antibiotics, surgical kits and bandages to care for up to 10,000 people.
Northwest Medical Teams currently has staff on the ground in Yogyakarta who are providing direct emergency medical funding to help the injured and the homeless. More than 5,100 people on the island of Java are now reported dead from the 6.3 magnitude quake. An additional 20,000 remain in desperate need of medical attention. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF) reports there are more than 130,000 homeless--and 40 percent of those are children, who now face the added burden of heavy rains as they scavenge for food and shelter.
"Medical workers and medicines are urgently needed at this time," says Bas Vanderzalm, president of Northwest Medical Teams. "Every hour counts in this disaster. Staff reports indicate that hospitals are struggling to cope with the number of injured seeking medical attention. At one Yogyakarta hospital alone, 15,000 patients are waiting to be treated. We can't afford to wait. We need to respond now."
Northwest Medical Teams is working in the earthquake region with other aid groups and local churches to ensure that families' most urgent medical needs are met quickly and effectively. The organization is also requesting donations in any amount to fund the immediate medical and physical needs of the survivors of this disaster.

Council members to discuss plan to revitalize Salem's downtown
March 28, 2013
SALEM — City Council's Committee of the Whole, which includes all seven council members, will begin discussions regarding the Downtown Salem Technical Advisory Committee findings tonight at 7 in......
Tac would probably raise more money placing bets on how much an additional income tax levy or any new tax levy for this project was going to be defeated by. How many times do voters have to say "NO NEW TAXES" before these people get it. The voters have said no to providing money for basic services yet you expect them to spend money to help pretty up the downtown?? That sure sounds like something the citizens of Salem will go for. Not!!! Find a private investor that would buy the downtown area and develop it. I am sure there are many building owners downtown that would just like to get out from under those crumbling buildings and would gladly sell them their property to him for development.

Big old buildings equal high maintenance costs and high energy bills. No amount of lipstick will solve these problems. High energy costs have put the knife in the hearts of all downtown areas. The voters have elected people that seem to enjoy high energy costs caused by outrageous regulations on coal. Once all our power plants have converted to "no longer cheap" natural gas the rest of these massive buildings will come tumbling down. I remember the parking problem that plagued East Liverpool. Take a look at the downtown area there with Bing maps and you will see there is no longer a parking problem. Salem isn't far behind. When the manufacturers move out or close a city is doomed and what business that remains has to keep overhead low. The public should not have to subsidise a private business in any form. Make the building owners repair or remove these buildings the same as you do homeowners.

Cahill says: "Any money paid by citizens would go to management and parking and to remove the buildings falling down on the streets."
Interesting use of tax collections heading for a possible election ballot.
Two million dollars to pay for management (City administration/City services, workers), parking (City service/workers) and buildings falling down on the streets. (City workers, razing and cleaning up debris from the sidewalks or privately retained, bid based services) and that of course, means city council is going to have to pass a few ordinances prior, which will no doubt open up the door of law suits.
I can't wait to see how City council justifies this tax collection attempt against the taxpayers. Accountability is about to take on whole new meaning.
Because this would be the only "LEGAL" taxation citizens can be asked to pay for when it comes to this project and it's accountability by use of public tax dollars anything else is against the law.

TAC is not a city service. TAC is not a recognized as a state registered legal organization. TAC is nothing more than a special interest group. PERIOD. It is against the law for a city administration to give tax dollars to a special interest group. It is against the law for any City Government to tax unfairly. If this city council even attempts to push through with any of this rhetoric that does not comply to legal tax collection it can be classified as TAX FRAUD.
There is no such thing as a "downtown Salem". "downtown Salem" is only recognized with historical significance. Nothing more, nothing less. The only responsibility of the taxpayers is those streets and sidewalks. Our city council had better grow brains quickly.

The legal ramifications that will come from this is going to be COSTLY. I think it's time for the Mayor of Salem to send Mr. Cahill's plan to the Attorney General for an opinion to protect the interest of this entire city and it's taxpayers.

In today's (3/28) Salem News Mr Cahill said TAC had not planned to close Broadway in any way shape or form. Thank you Mr. Cahill. TACs 70 page document does state: A geographical central point in the development area should be emphasized as a focal social, cultural, and meeting point. Broadway and State intersection was one suggested idea, as it could be expanded to accommodate green space for modest investment of parking space, "a handful of parking spaces" could be give up and roadway. A water element (fountain, sculpture) was agreed upon as a good idea to incorporate into this focal point. I do not see how one can put a fountain at the Broadway and State intersection for a modest investment of parking space, "a handful of parking spaces" could be give up and roadway without closing Broadway at State. Could we please have that recommendation struck from the TAC 70 page plan.

Two things - first READ THE DOCUMENT - second learn how to spell. You complain but you offer nothing better. You complain about things that you make up! You repeat the same arguments after you have been proved wrong. What exactly do you want? Failure?

Similar to a man/girl crush. When you become obsessed with someone of the same sex because they are cooler/prettier/sexier than you. You don't acually fancy them you just obsess over them in a jealous way.

Pontresina enjoys a sunny, sheltered location at the entrance to the Val Bernina (Berninatal) on a south-west facing terrace just 7 km from St. Moritz. The first hotels for guests were built as early as the 19th century. The charm of this medium-sized resort lies in the architectural blend of fine old Engadine houses with their typical "sgraffito" (decorated walls) from the 17/18th centuries and the elegant hotels in Belle Epoque style. A modern conference centre completes the village's infrastructure.
The mountain pass and, since the early 20th century, the Bernina railway line lead over the 2330 m high Bernina Pass towards Italy. At sightseeing speed, the Bernina Express passes the massive Morteratsch Glacier. From the Ospizio Bernina station there is a lovely view over the mountain lakes of Lago Nero and Lago Bianco. From the Alp Grüm stop, you can see a wide view as far as the Puschlav valley in southern Grisons.
580 kilometers of hiking trails open the impressive mountain world up to the highest peaks in the eastern Alps, the Piz Palü and the Piz Bernina. They lead to attractive destinations such as the romantic wilderness of Val Roseg and the panoramic mountain Muottas Muragl, which offers a breathtaking view over the entire lake district. 400 kilometers of bike paths, a fixed rope park, two exciting Via Ferrata routes, a modern congress and cultural center and a lively new adventure pool complement the variety of scenic impressions.
Pontresina, the best of high alpine pleasures: Imposing peaks and glaciers surround this idyllic resort with its picturesque alleyways, making it a favourite base for ice-climbing, ski touring and snowshoeing. Cross-country skiers also like to stop by, as the famous marathon route virtually runs through the village. In addition, Pontresina is considered a stronghold of curling in Switzerland.
For families, the ski area of San Spiert offers varied slopes and a toboggan run, while Diavolezza presents a spectacular series of challenges. Switzerland's longest glacier descent is found in the Diavolezza/Lagalb ski area. It runs on the moraines of the Pers and Morteratsch glaciers. With a gradient of 86%, Lagalb also has the steepest descent in Graubünden. Visitors looking for a romantic ambiance enjoy horse-drawn sleighrides through the snow-covered pine forests and in the Roseg Valley.
Magnificent glaciers and impressive Art Nouveau architecture create a unique backdrop for family holidays to remember in Pon- tresina. With 580 km of walking trails, 400 km of bike routes, an idyllic Alpine show dairy and the largest ibex colony in the Alps, there's never a dull moment in this resort set against a spectacu- lar high Alpine backdrop.

can sasuke uchiha kill madara uchiha?
man i hope so i mean its sasuke wer talking about i think it would not be to easy for sasuke to but i think he will stand tall in the end
sasuke being the heir of the uchiha clan can resist the mangekyou sharingan.
-_- Sasuke is the heir to the Uchiha clan right? He should be able to beat Madara...at least...by anime logic. I mean, Sasuke is like a main character. If there was a spinoff, Sasuke would be the MC (Main Character) and Madara the MV (Main Villain.) After all, Sasuke was also trained by one of the three Legendary Sannin. "You can only be young once, but you can be immature forever! "
after what itachi did, sasuke will be strong no matter what happens. and with all the power he has, he will diffently win.
you never know ,it depends on his saringan
yep he can because itachi gave him his powers and because of his chidori....he totally rocks>_<
Who the fu** is Madara lol??? sorry I don't read the manga if that's the problem, IDK but il just go with sasuke
he has changed a lot..i mean he's totally strong...oh and madara is the founder of the uchiha clan
I think he is little dude with sharingan or maibe not
but i guess sasuke is for me^_^
even though i don't watch the shippuden i've read the book....and still sasuke is the best his sharingan has totally improved and so does his chidori techniques
yea i think he could
he will die like a dumb but
I haven't seen him fighting yet.He looks like cowerd for now or maibe he hide his powers
madara is tobi the masked guy who founded the uchiha clan...took his brothers eyes because he got blinded
Obito has the Rinnegan and Sharingan. He claims to be Madara but that's just the white zetsu (Right side of Obitos body which was crushed by the blouder) who is a clone made from the real Madras DNA when he activates the Sharingan with his right eye. His left has the Rinnegan.
And the masked man/tobi is actually Obito Uchiha.
