INDIANAPOLIS � No death penalty. More like slow death.
Wiped out in the record book. Wiped out in the wallet. Wiped out in the ability to recruit, and keep what it already has.
Penn State got slammed by the NCAA on Monday in every way.
The governing body of college sports took away 14 years of coach Joe Paterno�s victories and imposed a mountain of fines and penalties, crippling a program whose pedophile assistant coach spent years molesting children, sometimes on school property.
The sanctions imposed by the NCAA on Monday also include fines of $60 million, orders for Penn State to sit out the postseason for four years, capped scholarships at 20 below the normal limit for four years and placed football on five years� probation.
Current or incoming football players are free to transfer immediately and compete at another school.
The NCAA�s sanctions following the worst scandal in the history of college football stopped short of delivering the �death penalty� � shutting down the sport completely. It actually did everything but kill it.
�The sanctions needed to reflect our goals of providing cultural change,� NCAA President Mark Emmert said as he announced the penalties at a news conference in Indianapolis.
The NCAA ruling holds the university accountable for the failure of those in power to protect children and insists that all areas of the university community are held to the same high standards of honesty and integrity.
�Against this backdrop, Penn State accepts the penalties and corrective actions announced (Monday) by the NCAA,� Penn State President Rodney Erickson said in a statement.
�With (Monday�s) announcement and the action it requires of us, the University takes a significant step forward.�
Paterno�s family said in a statement that the NCAA sanctions defamed the coach�s legacy, and were a panicked response to the sex abuse scandal.
The family also said that punishing �past, present and future� students because of Jerry Sandusky�s crimes did not serve justice.
The Big Ten announced that Penn State would not be allowed to share in the conference�s bowl revenue during the NCAA�s postseason ban, an estimated loss of about $13 million. And the NCAA reserved the right to add additional penalties.
Sandusky, a former Penn State defensive coordinator, was found guilty in June of sexually abusing young boys, sometimes on campus. An investigation commissioned by the school and released July 12 found that Paterno, who died in January, and several other top officials at Penn State stayed quiet for years about accusations against Sandusky.
Emmert fast-tracked penalties rather than go through the usual circuitous series of investigations and hearings. The NCAA said the $60 million is equivalent to the annual gross revenue of the football program.
The money must be paid into an endowment for external programs preventing child sexual abuse or assisting victims and may not be used to fund such programs at Penn State.
�Football will never again be placed ahead of educating, nurturing and protecting young people,� Emmert said.
By vacating 112 Penn State victories from 1998-2011, the sanctions cost Paterno 111 wins. Former Florida State coach Bobby Bowden now will hold the top spot in the NCAA record book with 377 major-college wins.
Paterno, who was fired days after Sandusky was charged, will be credited with 298 wins.
Vacated wins are not the same as forfeits � they don�t count as losses or wins for other schools.
The scholarship reductions mean Penn State�s roster will be capped at 65 scholarship players beginning in 2014.
The normal scholarship limit for major college football programs is 85.
Playing with 20 less is devastating to a program that tries to compete at the highest level of the sport.
In comparison, the harsh NCAA sanctions placed upon USC several years ago left the Trojans with only 75 scholarships per year over a three-year period.
The postseason ban is the longest handed out by the NCAA since it gave a four-year ban to Indiana football in 1960.
Bill O�Brien, who was hired to replace Paterno, now faces the daunting task of building future teams with severe limitations, and trying to keep current players from fleeing to other schools. Star players such as tailback Silas Redd and linebacker Gerald Hodges are now essentially free agents.
�I knew when I accepted the position that there would be tough times ahead,� O�Brien said. �But I am committed for the long term to Penn State and our student athletes.�
Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany said that players likely will be allowed to transfer within the conference, something that is usually restricted.
The possible exodus isn�t confined to just the next few months. Penn State players currently on the roster are free to transfer without restrictions for the length of their careers.
Penn State players left a team meeting on campus in State College, Pa., without talking to reporters. Penn State�s season starts Sept. 1 at home against Ohio University.
The sanctions came a day after the school took down a statue of Paterno that stood outside Beaver Stadium and was a rallying point for the coaches� supporters throughout the scandal.
At a student union on campus, several dozen alumni and students gasped, groaned and whistled as they watched Emmert�s news conference.
�It was kind of just like a head shaker,� said Matt Bray, an 18-year-old freshman from West Chester, Pa. �You knew it was coming, but it was hard to hear.�
Emmert earlier had said he had �never seen anything as egregious� as the horrific crimes of Sandusky and the cover-up by Paterno and others at the university, including former Penn State President Graham Spanier and athletic director Tim Curley.
The Penn State investigation headed by former FBI Director Louis Freeh said school officials kept what they knew from police and other authorities for years, enabling the abuse to go on.
There had been calls across the nation for Penn State to receive the �death penalty,� and Emmert had not ruled out that possibility as late as last week � though Penn State did not fit the criteria for it. That punishment is for teams that commit a major violation while already being sanctioned.
�This case is obviously incredibly unprecedented in every aspect of it,� Emmert said, �as are these actions that we�re taking.�
Penn State football under Paterno was built on � and thrived upon � the premise that it did things the right way. That it was not a football factory where only wins and losses determined success. Every major college football program tries to send that message, but Penn State built its brand on it.
Paterno�s �Grand Experiment� was about winning with integrity, graduating players and sending men into the world ready to succeed in life, not just football. But he still won a lot � a record-setting 409 victories.
The NCAA had never sanctioned or seriously investigated Penn State. Few, if any, national powers could make that claim.
Southern California, Ohio State, Alabama, all have run afoul of the NCAA. Even Notre Dame went on probation for two years after a booster lavished gifts on players in the 1990s.
The harshest penalty handed down to a football program came in the 1980s, when the NCAA shut down SMU�s team for a year. SMU football has never gotten back to the level of success it had before the �death penalty.�
Emmert said there were concerns about the collateral damage of shutting down Penn State football for a year, and that�s why the death penalty was ruled out.
�It hurts people who had absolutely nothing to do with this process, which is always the case,� he said.
Emmert added that no attempt was made for the sanctions to be more severe than the death penalty.
�That isn�t a comparison I or anyone else needs to make,� he said. �People in the media can make those comparisons.�
Delany said he believes Penn State is capable of bouncing back from the sanctions.
�I do have a strong sense that many of the ingredients of success are still at Penn State and will be there in future years,� he said.

Thank you for stopping by the Weather Watch 12 Blog! The coldest weather of the season will hit Wisconsin to start 2013. In today's blog we discuss when the cold weather arrives, the forecast for New Year's Eve, and how long daytime highs are stuck in the teens.
Let's start with a beautiful shot of the rising sun over a frozen pond and some fresh snow in Burlington. Julie Franco posted the photo to the U-Local section of WISN.com. Thanks Julie! If you have a weather photo to share, please email it to firstname.lastname@example.com and the photo will automatically post to our website!
The fresh snow and a reinforcing show of cold air will result in the coldest weather of the season across southern Wisconsin in the coming days.
Anyone heading out on the town to celebrate New Year's Eve should dress to stay warm! A cold front will send temperatures tumbling Monday afternoon and the result will be a frigid New Year's Eve. The forecast below is for midnight in Milwaukee -- temperatures may fall faster than the 'ball'. Wind chills will likely be a few degrees below zero at this time! By morning actual temperatures will be in the single digits.
A bitter cold start to 2013 is expected with daytime highs stuck in the teens on New Year's Day. The RPM future temps map below is valid at 2pm Tuesday. This shows cold air locked in place across all of Wisconsin. Until we lose our snowpack, cold airmasses will have an extra bite to them.
The chilly weather will continue through the middle of the week and only ease slightly by next weekend. No big storms are in the 7 day forecast.
Coming up in Monday's Weather Watch 12 Blog we will look ahead at the month of January using the LRC. During January I expect the 'active period' to return, meaning increased chances for precipitation. Lots of winter ahead, and I'll let you know when some of the worst weather may impact southeast Wisconsin.
For the latest weather information watch WISN 12 News, and for updates throughout the day follow me on Twitter @jnelsonweather
Have a great day!
Jeremy Nelson

Following the announcement of an upcoming addition to the royal family, Prince William was photographed leaving the King Edward VII Hospital in Central London where a pregnant Kate was admitted for acute morning sickness on Monday.
Kate – who is in the "very early stages" of her pregnancy, according to the Palace – has been diagnosed with hyperemesis gravidarum, characterized by severe and persistent nausea and vomiting during pregnancy.
Wearing a grey sweater, William is seen exiting the hospital and heading toward a waiting vehicle.
While a source at St. James's Palace tells PEOPLE that the couple decided to "be open" about Kate's pregnancy because she was admitted to the hospital, Kate, 30, and William, 30, "aren't going into detail about the pregnancy itself."
The Palace announced the Duchess's pregnancy earlier Monday in a statement. "Their Royal Highnesses The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are very pleased to announce that The Duchess of Cambridge is expecting a baby," it said. "The Queen, The Duke of Edinburgh, The Prince of Wales, The Duchess of Cornwall and Prince Harry and members of both families are delighted with the news."
Later on Monday, Prime Minister David Cameron congratulated the couple, saying "I'm delighted by the news that the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are expecting a baby. They will make wonderful parents."

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Christian Bale
- 1970s
'Easy' Rider
After Louise, one of Bale's three sisters, gets cast in a musical on London's West End, the young chap is inspired to give acting a try. "I thought it was really good fun, and it looked easy," Bale tells The New York Times of his start, which gives way to several commercial gigs and his London stage debut at age 10 in The Nerd, opposite Rowan Atkinson.
- 1987
'Sun' Rise
Following bit parts in TV movies, Bale beats out 4,000 hopefuls for the lead role in Steven Spielberg's Empire of the Sun, playing a young British boy imprisoned in a Japanese internment camp. The performance earns Bale a best juvenile performance award from the National Board of Review, but the 13-year-old grows uncomfortable with his newfound fame. "I ran from it," he later tells the AP of his early success. "I said, 'I like the acting, but I really don't want anything to do with the rest of it.'"
- 1994
Return to Hollywood
Though he plays second fiddle to stars Winona Ryder and Claire Danes, Bale makes a memorable comeback with Little Women. "Handsome Christian Bale makes a dreamboat out of Laurie, the boy next door to the March family," writes The New York Times of his performance. In 1998, he tackles another period piece with Velvet Goldmine, playing a newspaper reporter researching the disappearance of a '70s glam rock star.
- 2000
Wedded Bliss
Following a whirlwind romance, Bale secretly marries girlfriend Sandra "Sibi" Blazic, a former assistant to his Little Women costar Ryder. "I know that it truly would be impossible to do it without her," he later gushes of his wife. "[I owe] everything to her. She's such a good, strong woman."
All-American Antihero
After Leonardo DiCaprio drops out, Bale takes over the role of yuppie serial killer Patrick Bateman in American Psycho. "It's really an analysis of the '80s, of men at their worst, of violence and of this sort of vacuousness," he says of the black comedy. "Bateman was never intended to be a real character. He says himself that he's an abstraction."
- 2005
Bale's Baby Joy
Bale and wife Blazic quietly welcome their daughter, whose name they do not reveal. "I've absolutely fallen into that cliché of a dad who could just happily talk about my daughter endlessly," he tells Esquire in 2010. "But it's not what I'm about in terms of being an actor. I don't want people to know about that."
Becoming Batman
Bale puts on the bat suit and 100 lbs. of muscle for director Christopher Nolan's gritty reboot, Batman Begins. "As sleek as a panther, with cheekbones that look sharp enough to give even an ardent lover pause, Mr. Bale makes a superbly menacing avenger," raves The New York Times. The film, which grosses over $200 million, spawns the 2008 sequel, The Dark Knight, which rakes in $158.3 million to become the highest-grossing opening weekend of all time.
- 2008
A Family Dispute
While in town to premiere The Dark Knight, Bale is arrested on assault allegations following a reported altercation with his mother Jenny and sister Sharon at London's Dorchester hotel. The actor denies the claim, and calls the situation "a deeply personal matter". In August, a court rules not to press charges.
- 2009
The Rant That Goes Viral
While filming Terminator Salvation, a 4-minute long recording of Bale angrily reprimanding a crew member, in which he drops the F-word 36 times, leaks onto the Web. "I was out of order, beyond belief," he later says of the on-set incident. "I acted like a punk. I regret that...It is inexcusable."
- 2010
Delivering a Knockout
Bale is unrecognizable as boxer Micky Ward's (Mark Wahlberg) drug-addicted half-brother Dicky Eklund in the true-life drama, The Fighter – a performance that earns Bale a best supporting actor Golden Globe, SAG Award, and his first Oscar nomination.

Firecore has just updated Seas0nPass to support a TETHERED jailbreak of the new Apple TV 4.4 (iOS 5) software (also supported is the 4.4.1 update). A tethered jailbreak means every time there is a need to reboot your Apple TV, you will have to connect it to a computer. The new Seas0nPas doesn't support XBMC, Plex, Remote HD and Rowmote plugins yet, so think twice before deciding to upgrade to 4.4 and run the jailbreak.
If the support for Media Player, Couch Surfer, NitoTV, Last.fm, Weather, RSS Feeds and Overflow and the new Apple TV 4.4 features, like AirPlay Mirroring, Photo Stream, NHL and WSJ Live are enough to convince you to update, you can then jailbreak your atv following these steps:

So, cap geeks, please correct me if I'm wrong, but if the Flyers buy someone out to make room, and that someone is entering the last year of his contract, doesn't this leave the Flyers on the hook for half and the new team on the hook for the other half?
I think there is another payment schedule that is an alternative to this, but either way, it requires the new team to pay half to the player.
The reason I'm asking is that I was just thinking that instead of trading, we should see if they buy out Lilja. We could have him back for around... whatever half of 737.5k is. Not to shabby for a veteran dman.
Yes, 2007 was brutal, but remember that we lost that game in OT only because he scored the only goal in the game to take it to OT. Then he started improving.
At his age, he'd probably be there to push the kids along and be the go-to guy in case of injury. In essence, he'd be replacing Janik, but at a lower salary.
Just a thought. I look forward to capologists correcting/ informing me. I love learning about this stuff.
If a player is bought out his former team is responsible for 2/3 his contract if he is older than 26 or 1/3 of his contract if under 26. The team then takes a cap hit for twice the amount of time remaining on the contract. Calculating the actual cap hit is complicated you can read about it here
Using Eaves as an example, he's getting 1.2 million a season from the Wings on his new deal and still receiving a portion of his salary from Boston on top of it.

Gavin Greene is a hopeless romantic. He's also a professional one: he writes the wedding column for a Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaper, covering spectacular parties from coast to coast. But there's a thin line between being a hotshot reporter on assignment…and being a single guy alone on a Saturday night at someone else's wedding.
Everything changes on New Year's when Gavin meets Melinda, a travel writer with enchanting dimples. A moonlit stroll across a Manhattan rooftop seals the deal. Until an Aussie with attitude swoops in and whisks her away before Gavin gets her number.
Gavin crisscrosses New York City to find her again. And he learns that there's something worse than losing the woman of his dreams: Having to write an article about her wedding.

DontTreadOnME. I think we will have to agree to disagree with your previous post. I believe Lincoln was a bad president too but I no longer think he was worst. This waste of air we have leading us today gives the worst President a new meaning. If he continues down the road he's taking us I am afraid the next Civil War will make the first one look like a party.

Avowed abolitionist that owned slaves? I've heard of slave owners fighting for the Union. But never a slave owner calling himself an avowed abolitionist. Avowed - to state positively. Abolitionist - a person who advocated the abolition of slavery in the US. Well we can certainly tell he was a politician. Do as I say not as I do. You all give up your slaves it is morally reprehensible; but until you do I'll keep mine. Sounds like Democrats (yes he was one) and the gun issue.

I grew up thinking that Lincoln was the greatest president ever, because that's what the public education system wants us to believe. Then as I got older and began to question things and do my own research, I concluded that he was the worst president ever. Has anyone besides me questioned why the U.S. needed to fight a war over "slavery"? Because that's what we're taught in high school. Think about it, no other nation on earth needed to go to war over slavery, so maybe the real question is: Was the war of northern aggression REALLY about slavery, or is this just a rewrite of history?

A driver described by police as highly intoxicated drove his car up and over a 10-foot embankment before landing his vehicle on the LaSalle Expressway in Niagara Falls early Saturday.
Tyler J. Rowland, 21, of Niagara Falls, who escaped injury, was arrested on several charges, including driving while intoxicated, following the 3:20 a.m. crash near 79th Street, state police said.
Rowland's small car was speeding south on 79th Street, toward Frontier Avenue, which runs parallel to the LaSalle Expressway, according to Troopers William Persinger and Ryan Burns. The car zoomed past a stop sign at Frontier and rumbled toward an embankment leading to the expressway, police added.
The Chevrolet Aveo struck curbing, crashed through a fence, and then rolled up the embankment and was launched up and over a guardrail onto the westbound lane of the expressway, troopers said.
Rowland refused medical treatment and was transported to the Town of Niagara State Police barracks, where his blood-alcohol content was measured at 0.23 percent – nearly three times the state's legal limit, troopers said.
In addition to aggravated DWI, Rowland was charged with driving at an unsafe speed, failing to observe a stop sign and failure to wear a seat belt. He is scheduled to appear March 12 in Niagara Falls City Court.
The crash caused a temporary shutdown of the LaSalle Expressway.

In a raw new memoir, All That Is Bitter & Sweet, Ashley Judd is baring all when it comes to being raised as the daughter of country music's Naomi Judd.
"My childhood was erratic, chaotic, unstable," she tells PEOPLE in this week's issue. "I was so the lost child, who just goes away and can be invisible while sitting in the middle of the room."
"I know that my mom did the best she could as did my dad," Judd, 42, continues, "but for a variety of reasons, it was just hurtful."
Judd would attend 13 different schools from ages five to 18, while her older sister Wynonna built a country music empire with their mother. She began to suffer from depression, which led to suicidal thoughts, and she has memories of sexual assault from various men over the years.
"The abnormal becomes normal," she says. "Perpetrators are shameless, and they put their shame on their victims."
In 2006, Judd elected to enter treatment for her depression at a rehab facility in Texas. "I would have died without it," says the actress, who married racecar driver Dario Franchitti in 2001. "It has improved my life on every level."
Judd also channeled her anger and grief into her passion for humanitarian work as a YouthAIDS ambassador for Populations Services International. She has traveled to more than four continents in the past seven years advocating grassroots programs to improve the lives of women and children.
"Our painful past becomes our greatest asset," she says. "Now I can look at it and say, 'Wow, that shouldn't have happened to a dog much less a child.' "
For more of Judd's interview and exclusive photos, pick up this week's issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands now.

7 Commonly Corrected Grammar Errors (That Aren't Mistakes)
#3. I Encourage You to Boldly Split Infinitives Whenever the Hell You Feel Like It
It seems to me that I have been told to never split infinitives many times during my schooling, but I can never recall what happened next, I guess because my brain immediately shut down as part of a defense mechanism to prevent me from learning what an infinitive was. That meant I had to look them up in order to write this column, and I can now happily report that an infinitive is a form of a verb without a subject or tense; in English it's (I think) always bound to the word "to." "To go," "To fart" and so on.
A split infinitive is when the "to" and the verb are split by other words, typically adverbs. "To boldly go where no man has gone before" is the classic example of a split infinitive from the title sequence of Star Trek. People with red pens around the world have long claimed that infinitives should never be split, because ... of ... a reason? Surely there must be something to it. This couldn't just be some rule made up by an asshole, could it?
It turns out that's exactly what happened. There aren't really any good reasons for prohibiting split infinitives. They generally don't impede comprehensibility, and when used carefully, they provide options for the writer to decide where the emphasis of a sentence will fall. The rule against split infinitives probably was invented by someone in olden, bearded times who noticed that split infinitives can't exist in Latin and decided that they shouldn't be allowed to exist in English, either.
"Reginald. Come in here and listen to this great idea I had that will piss people off for centuries."
#2. "I'm Good" Means Exactly What You Think It Means
The use or misuse of "I'm good" is another commonly corrected grammar mistake, best encapsulated in the following bit of dialogue:
Friend 1: Hello friend, how are you today?
Friend 2: I'm good.
Friend 1: I think you meant to say "I'm well," you caveman. "I'm good" means something else entirely.
Friend 2: Eat my shit. You knew exactly what I meant. I will whale on you with this length of chain until you change your ways.
-chain whaling commences-
Friend 1: See, you're not "good" at all!
Here we see a joyless son of a bitch insisting that the word "good" means "holy," or "righteous," or "not evil," or something along those lines. Which is correct, but it ignores the fact that "good" can also mean "desirous," or "fit," or "satisfactory," or "pleasant," or a dozen other things. If you think that someone is talking about their moral righteousness when they casually say "I'm good," then you're deliberately trying to misunderstand them, a crime worthy of chain-whalings in all jurisdictions.
#1. This Last One Will Literally Cause the Internet to Explode
I knew when laying out this article that if there was any entry that would cause people to heave flaming copies of Strunk & White through my window, it'd be this one. The use and misuse of this particular word is a pet peeve for millions of people, and even a partial attempt to defend it ranks among the most inflammatory things I've ever done with this column, a list which also includes providing advice on how to beat animals. So everyone hold on to your butts for a moment while we have a serious, grown-up discussion about "literally."
"Literally" is an adverb that originally meant "by the letter." This definition expanded a little bit and now means something like "exactly as stated" or "this is a real thing that is, no bullshit here, actually happening." So when a teenage girl says:
"I keep getting the worst emails from some Chris Bucholz guy. He is literally the creepiest dude in the universe."
... we know she's speaking incorrectly; the universe is massive, immune to any sort of comprehensive survey of creepiness.
"Who writes a poem about crying while on the toilet?"
The word she probably should have used was "figuratively." Instead, she's using "literally" to mean "I'm exaggerating here." This is the exact opposite of what "literally" is supposed to mean, and is thus obviously wrong.
Or is it?
Everyone immediately understands what this teenage girl means when she uses "literally" in that sense; we all get that she's making a humorous exaggeration to communicate just how upsetting my unceasing communications are to her. In fact, this sense of "literally" has been used for at least a couple centuries. And if everyone knows what "literally" means in that context, doesn't that make it correct?
I should be clear here: I'm not literally encouraging people to use "literally" in this manner. I certainly don't. It's a weak, even cliched way of emphasizing something, and given its tendency to make people berserk, it's usually not worth the trouble. What I am advocating is a bit of restraint, so that the next time you come across a foolish use of "literally" in the wild, you don't literally spray crap down your pant leg in a blind fury.
Closing Thoughts, Backpedaling
You made it to the end of a 2,500 word article about grammar! Holy shit! I am literally very proud of you! What does that even mean any more?
What we've done here is gotten right down into the trenches of a war between prescriptivist grammarians and descriptivist grammarians -- a conflict which, no matter how boring you think it sounds, is actually 10 times more boring than that. Just to give you a tiny glimpse of that boredom, I'll briefly describe both sides, probably unfairly:
Prescriptivists document the rules of grammar, and sometimes, when no one's looking, make them up entirely. They also feel the need to enforce the rules of grammar, and in particular advocate that these rules and definitions shouldn't change. They argue this for a variety of reasons, but those usually boil down to "Otherwise, civilization will evaporate into an orgy of orgy-themed game shows and fad diets that consist entirely of eating each other's flesh."
Descriptivists also document the rules of grammar, but don't particularly care when they're violated, because fuck rules, man. And if the rules ever do change, descriptivists simply shrug and write down the new ones. They point out that civilization has never collapsed during any of the previous changes to English grammar, and indeed has even managed to excel -- giving us advances like polio vaccines, color television and sexting.
"Thanks, civilization!" -loud SPROING sound effect-
This is a war that has been going on for a few hundred years now, and if you're curious, the current score is something like prescriptivists: 0; descriptivists: 18,433,327. The reason for this is straightforward: There is a massive percentage of the population, somewhere north of 99 percent, that struggles with telling the difference between nouns and verbs. With no use for the rules of grammar, they simply talk like their friends and neighbors talk. That this will lead to slowly drifting definitions and grammatical structures is inevitable, because these people don't know the rules in the first place, and could not fucking care less if they did.
This puts writers, who are generally concerned with verbin' etiquette, in a tricky position. By choosing not to use newly minted grammatical rules and words, they impede their ability to communicate with the rest of the population. They cut themselves off from the creative options that new words and grammar open up, and if they hew too closely to the old, unchanging rules, they can make their writing sound stuffy and formal.
And now for the furious backpedaling: This isn't to say that we shouldn't care about grammar at all. Even if rules and definitions change, those changes should come slowly. When we violate grammatical rules or use strange new definitions of words, we impede our audience's ability to comprehend what we're saying. We can see vestiges of this when we travel to other English-speaking countries, where small changes in language can lead to these issues of delayed comprehension. Witness the differing meanings when saying the following sentence to English or American audiences:
"She crammed chips into her fanny until the townspeople begged her to stop."
Even if we can eventually figure out what's going on here, and are appropriately horrified, this type of confusion and delay in comprehension should be avoided whenever possible. That's why grammar is important.
So please, people of the Internet, learn the difference between all your "theres" and your "whichs" and your "yours." Stop using the "7" key when you mean "T." And please, ask a grown-up for help with apostrophes. Too many kids are getting hurt.
And on a final note, for the people who are combing this article for the grammatical errors I no doubt overlooked: I put them there deliberately as a test. Congratulations, you won. To claim your prize, please strike yourself with a chain until you stop feeling; the prize will be delivered to your home shortly thereafter.

I appreciate the support but I'm sure that's not what HT0001 was intending to happen.
Just leave the logos on. Matt's cool with it and that's all that matters. You've probably put in dozens of hours of work into this and you deserve credit. They look great and are the main reason I began to frequent your blog last season.
HT001, to be frank, you're lucky these images are being offered to you at all. From the outside looking in, one might think you're trying to get all the credit for someone elses hard work, and that's why you want his logos removed.
I think I understand what you're asking for a little more now. You're looking to have some non-specidic, generic headers made up that can be used for all games?
Not at all. I wasn't even hoping for the graphic that was already provided, I simply viewed that as a template. I was hoping to continue talks with w.o.a.w. into creating a different look that would be unique, rather than using something he's already got going for his own blog. Since it looks great, I think it should stay exclusive for his own blog.

With April showers, the potential for flooding increases.
Since flood damage is not covered by homeowner's policies, the Federal Emergency Management Agency suggests homeowners should look into purchasing flood insurance through the National Flood Insurance Program.
"Flooding can and does happen in any area, that's why I encourage everyone to consider getting flood insurance," said FEMA Region III Administrator MaryAnn Tierney in a statement.
Local insurance agents have mixed opinions on whether it is necessary, however,
"[Homeowners] should at least look into it. You don't have to live in a flood zone to suffer a flood. We don't know for sure where a flood may strike," said Mark Gingrich, treasurer of Warren A. Gingrich Agency, Altoona. "If you live in a flood zone and you have a loan, the bank will require you to carry it."
Both Mona Boyles, personal lines insurance agent at Allison, Myers, Beaver and Vellone, Altoona, and Shelley Baker, an agent for Brumbaugh Insurance Group Inc., Duncansville, said unless you live in a flood zone it may not be necessary.
However, Baker said some people may want to look into flood insurance to cover surface water runoff, which is not covered by a homeowner's policy and is considered flooding.
Flood insurance is easy to get.
Gingrich said some people believe you must live in a flood zone to qualify, but anyone can obtain a flood policy.
However, one key difference of a National Flood Insurance Program policy from another insurance policy is the 30-day waiting period prior to the policy going into effect.
"If there is a hurricane coming, you just can't rush out and get the insurance and have it take effect," Gingrich said.
According to FEMA, the average cost of flood insurance is about $650 a year.
"If you live next to a creek, it is going to be more expensive. It depends on the potential for flooding," Gingrich said. "If you are not in a highly rated flood zone, it is relatively inexpensive. If you live in a flood zone, it can be costly."

BELLEVILLE - Lynn Peachey and Nina Gunter are surrounded by the unmistakable presence of God.
His guidance brought the duo to a mission that has been encouraging women through a shared love for jewelry.
Peachey said "WORD on YOU," a mission outreach for working mothers of small children, had humble beginnings. She learned to make beaded necklaces at a ladies retreat hosted by her church, Maple Grove Mennonite in Belleville. Peachey said she enjoyed it so much that she bought her own supplies and starting making jewelry at home.

Lynn Peachey, left, and Nina Gunter craft beaded necklaces and lanyards in Lynn's home near Belleville Thursday evening. The women's jewelry ministry — 'WORD on YOU' — is an outreach to mothers with young children.
Soon after that, Peachey's aunt, Nina Gunter, received a jewelry-making kit for her birthday. The project grew from there.
Peachey said the women tried selling their jewelry locally, but felt God pulling them in another direction.
"God, give me some kind of little ministry," Peachey said she asked of Him.
Then she heard the news that two women from her church had been diagnosed with breast cancer.
"I wanted to do something to help them feel God's love and presence in their lives as they went through the healing process," she said.
From there, the ministry started to take shape.
Peachey began researching different colors and their Biblical meanings online. She came across the color amber, which signifies the unmistakable presence of God. One of the supporting verses she found was Daniel 3:19-27, which tells about three men who were thrown in the furnace because they would not bow down and worship the king. When the king looked in the furnace, there were four men in there and none were harmed - the unmistakable presence of God. Another verse is Exodus 3:5, when Moses went to the mountains and saw a burning bush that was not consumed because it sat on holy ground. The amber color of the flames again signified God's unmistakable presence, she explained.
Peachey was inspired by the significance of the color and used it to design necklaces for each of the women.
"I made them both a necklace with amber stones in it," she said.
She included a note that read, "When you go through your treatments and your operations and you don't feel well, I hope that you think about the unmistakable presence in your life."
Peachey said the response she got from the gift was much greater than she expected.
"I felt, from that, that what we were supposed to do is make this jewelry, and through my research, point out what the colors mean in the Bible," she said. "Maybe the piece of jewelry that a woman buys ... that color and what it stands for will speak to her in her life."
After discussing the idea with Gunter, "WORD on YOU," jewelry was born. Peachey said the duo creates jewelry inspired by the Biblical significance of different colors. Every piece comes with a card that explains the color and includes the associated Bible verse on the back, she said.
But that was only the beginning.
Peachey said she and Gunter began selling the jewelry at Friendship Bookstore and Bushmen at Home in Lewistown and Yoder's Tees and More in Belleville. What they decided to do with the proceeds turned their jewelry business into community outreach.
Peachey said it was a discussion with a young, working mother of preschool-age children that gave her an idea. The woman explained how difficult it was sometimes to leave home and work all day, then come home and put a meal on the table among other chores. Peachey felt that God was leading her again.
She and Gunter gathered names of mothers with young children. After paying local carriers their commission and putting some money back to buy more beads, the pair uses the rest of their proceeds from each jewelry sale to buy gift certificates to local restaurants for the young mothers.
"We put (the names) in a basket, and we just pull one out, and that's the woman we bless," Peachey said.
The recipient can use the gift certificate to pick up an easy dinner for her family on the way home.
"The pressure's off, she can just enjoy her family at night," Peachey said. "I don't care if the mother is single, married, divorced ... I don't care if they go to church or not."
So far, sales from the jewelry have funded two gift certificates to pass along to those who could use a pick-me-up. Peachey said she hopes that local ladies will remember the jewelry and her mission during the upcoming holiday shopping seasons.
"It's a way to to do your shopping and bless some hard-working mothers out there," she said. "This little mission is not going to change anyone's life in a huge way - but it can make a woman feel loved and supported on that one day ..."
Peachey and Gunter also plan to set up a display of their jewelry at HarvestFest in October at the Mifflin County Youth Park and at an open house, set to be held from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Nov. 16 at Maple Grove Mennonite Church, Belleville.

Alice Boland purchased the gun that the police say she used during Monday's incident at Ashley Hall from a gun shop in Walterboro, according to a report released in its entirety this morning.
Officers also found 111 rounds of ammunition in the Beaufort woman's vehicle after she showed up at the downtown Charleston facility and pointed the .22-caliber Taurus PT22 at school officials, according to the report. She pulled the trigger, the police said, but the gun didn't fire. No round was in the chamber.
The Charleston Police Department released the full report after it said that Boland would not immediately face federal charges. Earlier this week, the police had redacted information from the report and declined to release it to The Post and Courier until the U.S. Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives verified it.
The 28-year-old faces charges of attempted murder, pointing a firearm and other state weapons violations. She remains jailed in lieu of a $900,000 bond.
Boland has a history of mental illness and was ordered to a federal prison facility that tends to female mental patients after an arrest in 2005 on charges of threatening President George W. Bush's life.
A federal questionnaire that she would have been required to complete before buying the firearm at the Walterboro Gun Shop on South Jefferies Boulevard asks whether the purchaser had ever been involuntarily committed to an institution.
It's still unknown how Boland answered the question, but police spokesman Charles Francis has said repeatedly that she had bought the gun legally.
After the incident Monday, the police found Boland's sport-utility vehicle parked outside what she said was her former psychiatrist's office. Inside, officers found a business card for the gun shop, a receipt for the gun, the federal transaction record and three boxes of .22-caliber long rifle ammunition.
Two of the boxes were full to their full 40-round capacities. But nine rounds were missing from one of the boxes.
The police said the handgun was loaded with eight rounds in the magazine, but no ninth round was found in its chamber.
It's unclear what happened to that lone round or whether Boland had ever fired the gun, which she bought days before the encounter in Charleston.

Consistency was the buzzword for the Buffalo Bills' offense coming into the 2012 season.
A quarter of the way into it, though, the results have been anything but.
From game to game – sometimes even half to half – it's been feast or famine. The offense's inability to protect the ball has been the biggest reason why.
"When you talk about consistency it starts with possessing the ball and not giving it up to the other team," quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick said. "It's something we thought we got better at in Weeks Two and Three, but we're back to square one and have to continue to make that a main focus for us.
"Nobody is going to win games in this league turning the ball over like we did in game one and game four. Obviously those were two big-time losses and the turnovers really said it all in those two games."
Fitzpatrick has been the definition of inconsistency.
His 12 touchdown passes lead the NFL, and his seven interceptions were tied for the most in the league until Dallas' Tony Romo threw five Monday night to run his total to eight.
"The turnovers have been the thing that have been the most inconsistent – by far the most inconsistent," coach Chan Gailey said. "Anything else has been kind of on par; it's just been the inconsistency factor of turning the ball over so much, which we don't want to do. We don't like to do it; we talk about not doing it. But we've had way too many."
Fitzpatrick hasn't been alone in giving the ball away. The Bills have already lost four fumbles, just one off their season total of five in 2011, a figure that was tied for the fewest in the league.
Both running backs, Fred Jackson and C.J. Spiller, lost fumbles in Sunday's blowout loss to New England.
"We have not been a team that fumbled and we fumbled twice the other day," Gailey said. "You can't fumble against a good team at the 1-yard line and expect to have a good finish to a game."
Not surprisingly, the Bills' turnover problems have come primarily in their losses. The Bills turned the ball over just once in their two wins, when Fitzpatrick had a wet ball slip out of his hands in Cleveland.
Dating back to the 2011 season finale in New England, the Bills have 14 turnovers in their last three losses.
"I wish I could, but I can't," Gailey said when asked why the turnovers have piled up in bunches. "A lot of those happen late, especially the interceptions where Fitz is trying to make something happen down the field ... I don't like 'em, but I understand a little bit."
That's just partially true.
Of Fitzpatrick's seven interceptions, four of them have come with the Bills either tied or trailing by a touchdown, and the other three have come in the second half with the team facing deficits of 20, 14 and 21 points.
Two of the Bills' four fumbles have come with the lead, while Jackson's on Sunday came with the team down by a touchdown.
On Monday, Gailey called into question the mental toughness of his team, saying he needed to do a better job of preparing a sense of urgency for every snap.
"It hasn't been a concern, but you can't be ahead 21-7 in the third quarter – if we're mentally tough like we need to be that game doesn't end up the way it ended up," he said. "That's my responsibility is to work on the mental toughness and the mindset of this football team."
Spiller said ultimately, though, that responsibility falls on the players.
"Every man has to look in the mirror and ask themselves, are they mentally strong? Coach Gailey can get up there and try to give us scenarios, but at the end of the day it is going to come down to that individual, if you are mentally strong or not," he said. "I think we have a lot of guys on this team that are and hopefully it will rub off onto the rest of the team. Once we become a mentally tough team, I think we will be fine. I think we do a great job knowing how to put wins and losses behind us and knowing how to move onto the next opponent. That is what I expect us to do this week."
The Bills made two changes to their practice squad Tuesday.
They announced they have signed defensive back Mana Silva along with offensive lineman Andrew Jackson and released defensive back Isaiah Green and tight end LaMark Brown from the squad.
Silva, 6-foot-1 and 214 pounds, was with the Bills on the practice squad for five weeks last season. He was released from the Dallas Cowboys' 53-man roster last week when the team signed former Buffalo punter Brian Moorman.
The 6-5, 300-pound Jackson was a seventh-round pick of the Atlanta Falcons in 2011. He spent that season on the Falcons' practice squad and was released at the end of training camp this past summer.
Green was an undrafted free agent out of Fresno State, while Brown joined the Bills' practice squad after being released by Atlanta on Sept. 3.

You'd think getting kicked out of Metallica just as the band was on the verge of becoming one of the biggest acts in the history of heavy metal would do some serious damage to a guy's ego. It didn't seem to slow down guitarist Dave Mustaine, however. He wasted no time putting together Megadeth, a thrash-metal outfit that hit its critical, commercial and artistic apex with the 1992 classic "Countdown to Extinction." That album formally encapsulated Mustaine's penchant for hyper-aggressive, complex and lyrically biting metal epics, and is widely regarded as one of the strongest metal albums of the 1990s.
Happy the metal head, then, who is planning on attending Saturday's Megadeth show in the Rapids Theatre (1711 Main St., Niagara Falls). For this show, which kicks off at 7 p.m., Mustaine and Megadeth will honor the 20th anniversary of the monumental "Countdown to Extinction" album by playing the thing in its skull-rattling entirety, front to back. A twin-disc deluxe anniversary edition of the album is out now, so grab yours. Concert tickets are $40 advance, $40 day of show (box office). Visit www.rapidstheatre.com.

Egypt's Prosecutor General Abdel Meguid Mahmoud announced that former President Hosni Mubarak was being detained for a period of 15 days for questioning over embezzling public funds and abuse of power for using force against protesters during anti-government demonstrations earlier this year.
Vice President Omar Suleiman announces that President Hosni Mubarak steps down and military forces will now take over.
President Hosni Mubarak says in his televised speech to the nation that he will not step down until a new president is selected in elections scheduled for September. He says that some powers are being transferred Vice President Omar Suleiman.
In a speech to the nation, he says he will not run for re-election, but will stay in office until a new leader is elected.
Tens of thousands of people join a sixth day of protests in Cairo's Tahrir Square, defying a government curfew. Mubarak reshuffles his Cabinet, appointing new interior and finance ministers, but retaining his foreign minister and long-serving defense minister.
Mubarak appoints his first vice president, naming intelligence chief Omar Suleiman to the post.
Nationwide protests calling for Mubarak to quit intensify after Friday prayers.
Grassroots anti-government activists stage a first day of nationwide demonstrations against poverty and repression, inspired by mass protests in Tunisia against authoritarian rule.
Egypt's parliament amends the constitution to allow other candidates to stand for the presidency, but critics say electoral rules prevent genuine competition. Mubarak is elected overwhelmingly to a fifth term as president.
Gunmen attack Mubarak's motorcade in Ethiopia's capital Addis Ababa, but he is unhurt.
Gunmen opposed to peace with Israel assassinate Sadat at a military parade also attended by Mubarak, who suffered a minor hand wound. Mubarak is appointed president and works to restore Egypt's standing in the Arab world.
Sadat signs a peace treaty with Israel. Other Arab nations opposed to the deal isolate Egypt.
Egyptian President Anwar Sadat appoints Air Force Commander Hosni Mubarak as vice president.

A former BP engineer has been convicted of one charge of obstructing the 2010 oil spill probe and acquitted of a second charge, according to The Associated Press and WDSU in New Orleans.
Sentencing for Kurt Mix is set for March 26, the AP reported. The count of obstruction of justice carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, according to the AP.
Mix had been charged with two counts of obstruction of justice. The Justice Department said he deleted text messages he had been ordered to save, including one that concluded the undersea gusher that erupted on the floor of the Gulf of Mexico was far worse than reported at the time.
BP had assigned Mix to help estimate the size of the 2010 Deepwater Horizon spill, ultimately calculated at nearly 5 million barrels of crude. Prosecutors said one of the messages investigators recovered from his phone included "real-time flow-rate analysis" during an effort to plug the damaged well -- data that contradicted the company's public statements about the ongoing disaster.
The oil spill spewed nearly 5 million barrels of crude into the sea. The disaster began with an explosion aboard the Deepwater Horizon drill rig that killed 11 workers.
The spill damaged the region's fishing and tourism industries. Scientists are still studying the long-term effects of the disaster on the Gulf ecosystem.
