The key to charts and graphs is:
to read the intro material and the "note" if there is one, and to expect an average, percent, and/or probability question about the data
some other horse caught another horse taking oats away; sin=opp/hyp, cos=adj/hyp, tan=opp/adj

The Minimalist Golf Swing - Get Better Distance, Direction & Trajectory
Weekend golfers of the world unite! You play once a week if you're lucky, prefer the 19th to all the other holes, and haven't exercised in ages. Yet all the magazines and instruction gurus are telling you to "turn and return" like they think you're the engine of a clockwork toy, or repeat the mantra "swing plane, swing plane, swing plane" until you feel like you're emulating David's slingshot take-down of Goliath with your golf swing.
Try this simple, scientifically proven (see www.yourgolfguru.com for details) swing method to instantly get better distance, direction and trajectory. Just be sure to practice it before test driving it on the first tee of your season-opening, socially-important pro-am!
It must first be clearly understood that the golf ball does not understand the English language. The ball will respond only if the club is prepared to arrive at it from an inside path, at a shallow angle, and at as much possible speed.
So, golfer-with-a-yen-for-distance-with-no-loss-of-direction, what must YOU do to facilitate better club-ball relations? Do unto the club as you'd have it do unto the ball. So, for an in-to-out approach, make sure you take a backswing along that inside path. For a shallow angle of approach, make a shallower backswing. And, to generate as much club speed as possible, make a stationary version of Happy Gilmore's power-producing trick - get behind and then past the ball!
The moves are so basic and few that my theory is called the "Minimalist Golf Swing." Forget about an injury-inducing coil, forget about the precise backswing plane, and forget about wrist-cock. Just make these three magical moves to find success.
(Dear southpaws: Before proceeding, please replace the words left for right and right for left, as you've no doubt spent your whole life doing!)
Magic Move 1
Keep both arms as straight and as close to one another throughout the backswing as possible. Straightness of the right arm forces the left arm - also hanging onto the club - to pull the entire left side of the body around the spine, thus creating weight shift (hence a stationary version of Happy Gilmore) and a 90-degree shoulder turn. Weight shift is the magic move for more club-head speed and power.
Magic Move 2
Instead of a curved swing plane, think of a straight-line path - back and past the club. The direction of the path on the backswing is one that allows both the arms (kept straight!) and the shaft to swing towards the right heel, while and on the downswing towards right field. The length of the backswing is approximately shoulder-high - slightly higher for your metal woods.
An inside backswing path is the magic move most likely to produce the desired in-to-out downswing movement; after all, no one wishing to travel East goes West first! The in-to-out downswing, in turn, allows the club to present itself to the ball in the most appropriate manner, given the club's design.
Magic Move 3
At the top of the backswing, think that both your thumbs are pointing away from the target, and make sure that the back of the right wrist has no backward (dorsal) bend in it. This position is the magic move that provides a shallow angle of approach of club to the ball and to achieve a better trajectory.
Two More Important Things
1. At address, your right shoulder must be behind and below your left shoulder and your elbows level with each another, with the arms on top of your chest or stomach.
2. In the downswing, simply think of slapping the clubhead past the ball - let the club do all the work, once you've set up and swung back correctly.
So, if you'd like to be the head cheese in your weekend four-ball, or to get more detailed explanations for how and why this swing method works while learning a scientific research that validates such a swing method, visit http://www.yourgolfguru.com. Incidentally, feedback - good, bad or ugly - is welcome!
Kiran Kanwar has 20 years experience as a golf instructor. She currently teaches golf in St. Louis, Mo., and in Bombay, India.

Sorting through the Penn State mailbag while suggesting the Lions will need to defend the Illinois option better than they have the last two years:
Hi, Neil:
A couple of questions:
How did you think Penn State will do in the Big Ten?
Do you think this is Joe's last year? It is sad to see him not be able to run around like he once did.
Do you think Koroma and Evans will be back this year?
Mark Stauffer
Folsom, PA
Hi, Mark:
1) Before the season started, I saw at least three losses in the Big Ten. Now I'm wavering, particularly on the trip to Purdue, which I previously saw as a loss. There's no team on the schedule the Lions can't beat, but there's still three or four that can beat them.
2) Because he's been the head coach since I used to watch TV Quarterbacks with my dad (who turns 77 today, BTW), it's hard to envision anybody else on the sidelines. At the same time, if he continues to struggle physically, I can not envision him coaching next year.
3) This year or this Saturday?
I'm really not thrilled with this quarterback carousel thing. And the Big Ten Network announcers weren't, either.
Is there any rhyme or reason to when Devlin plays? He shouldn't be in there unless the dogs have been called off late in the second half. Is Joe just trying to appease him so he doesn't transfer?
Rick Weber
Speaking of dogs, you're barking up the wrong tree!
I think it's very smart to play Devlin for a few reasons - he's worthy of playing time, he'll need experience in case Clark gets hurt and, yes, he would consider transfer if he receives less of an opportunity than he is getting now.
Because neither has proven he can win a tight game on the road simply because neither has been in one - although Clark deserves credit for his role and contribution to the Alamo Bowl victory - both need all the preparation available.
Regardless of what the Big Ten Network announcers say. What channel are they on, anyway?
What will it take for the Lions to start winning again on the road? Is it really as simple as opening up the offense?
Bruce Valen
St. Paul, Minn.
People don't want to hear this, but usually the formula starts with an offensive line and a running game balanced by the pass. Not vice versa.
And it would help to cover kickoffs.
Hey, Neil:
I am having trouble running out at 57 after a summer running injury. God only knows at 81.
Let's hope your fingers stay strong!
Michael Weamer
New York City
Hey, Michael:
I thought it was cool that they brought out Babe Ruth's daughter for the closing of Yankee Stadium.
In what is looking more and more like Joe's final season, do you think he will be more aggressive than ever and may do something unPaterno like?
Things like playing more true freshman, playing players whose grades may not be where they were in the past and, one thing I hate to say, playing kids who may have had an issue or two off the field if they can clearly help them on the field?
Richard Goldfarb
New Holland
Even though he's had less input into disciplinary action, and plenty of players have gotten second chances, Joe has acted quickly on recent off-the-field matters.
But I do sense the closer we get to the end of the Paterno Era, the more anxious everyone is for one more perfect/possible sendoff season.
To that end, if a loss does come, I hope he can handle it.
Rudel can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com. He will respond to brief comments in Gameday. Names and towns must be included. Longer letters will be considered for the Mirror's Voice of the Fan page.

The first half of 2013 has been relatively slow for NVIDIA (NASDAQ: NVDA ) , with shares mostly keeping pace with the broader market. This is expected, as the company made the conscious decision to delay the Tegra 4 time frame in order to focus on Tegra 4i. The graphics business continues to hold up admirably in the face of a slow PC market, as NVIDIA's target gamer market remains resilient.
NVIDIA is now entering the licensing business with its graphics architecture, which could translate into new opportunities in mobile. The company could now potentially earn wins at the top two smartphone vendors, Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL ) and Samsung, which aren't interested in using Tegra processors directly.
In the following video, Fool contributor Evan Niu, CFA, and Eric Bleeker, CFA, discuss NVIDIA at current prices.
The tech world has been thrown into chaos as the biggest titans invade one another's turf. At stake is the future of a trillion-dollar revolution: mobile.

The Portland Trail Blazers won their second game in a row, closing out the Los Angeles Clippers 101-100 Saturday night in the first of a back-to-back with the Clippers.
Down nine points (100-91) with just under three minutes left, the Blazers went on a 10-0 run with 2:22 left in the game, capped by a game-preserving rebound from Nicolas Batum as the clock expired hat also earned him his second career triple-double.
Batum earned the triple-double, which was also his second of the week, by finishing with 20 points, 12 assists and 10 rebounds.
Portland faces Los Angeles again Sunday at the Staples Center (6 p.m., Comcast).

It has been said: "Scars remind us where we've been. They don't have to dictate where we are going."
On the inside of each of my ankles, there are scars. There is also a very long one that reaches all the way down my abdomen. Now, if I had not been told this story many times during my childhood, I would be curious as to where I had received these scars.
The story began in Bucks County Hospital, Pennsylvania, when I was born. Dad was in the army and Mom was home with two babies only 11 months apart. The first was a boy and then there was me. Seemingly normal babies, her task to care for us was difficult, to say the least for a young woman of 22 in a strange place away from family. She recounts rocking my cradle with her foot and rocking my brother in her arms, and crying. You new moms can relate.
However, I began projectile vomiting, and we are talking across the room. (Gee, I hope you aren't eating as you read this; if so, sorry.) All babies spit up, my young parents reasoned, but when my weight began dropping, the doctors were consulted. Tests were ran. I began dying from malnutrition. More tests were ran. They almost missed the diagnosis as it is rare in girls: pyloric stenosis.
Pyloric stenosis is a narrowing of the pylorus, the lower part of the stomach through which food and other stomach contents pass to enter the small intestine. When an infant has pyloric stenosis, the muscles in the pylorus have become enlarged to the point where food is prevented from emptying out of the stomach. To make a long story short, I almost died during the first months of my life, but was saved by some diligent doctors determined to do just that. They operated, and voila: I am here.
Now, these scars tell a story. However, they don't dictate where I am going. Now indulge me some drama (and you do that often and I thank you). What if I had the mind set: "Oh, I had pyloric stenosis and almost died as a baby. Now, I am scarred. I can never do anything. For Heaven's sake, I can never wear a bikini!" I knew that would make you laugh. The slim scar actually grew (it was only about an inch or less at the time as a newborn) but it grows as I grow. Hopefully, that growing part is over, but during pregnancy, "Katy bar the door" and man, did it ever grow!
Mom recounts the time back then and tells me I would lay there and smile and smile at the doctors. They loved me, or so she says. The trust of a newborn is a wonderful thing. My life was in their hands, and I had no clue what they were doing, but only that they were taking care of me.
My friend, we all have things, stuff, baggage, luggage or whatever else you and psychologists want to call it. We've had things that cut us to the very heart, and the pain has literally scarred us, just as the surgeon's knife scarred my abdomen and the IVs scarred my ankles: my only source of nutrition. Let me tell you this. Your scars cannot only tell your story, and we all have one. But just as my ankle scars fed my body out of starvation, your scars can be a source of feeding others. The very thing that you think is going to kill you is the very thing God wants to use in your life to bring total dependence upon him and deliver you from your pain.
Dear one, you can look at him and smile as I did as an infant to my surgeons, and know, what you think is going to kill you, is saving your life. What you think is "scarring your ankles," so to speak is feeding your soul. And, the positively most amazing part, I believe, is that the affliction that you believe will kill you (just as pyloric stenosis cut off my food supply) is actually the furtherance of your way, and will become food for others along the way.
You may be sitting there reading this and things are coming to your mind (abuse, cruelty, secrets, pain, anguish, suffering, physical pain or whatever difficulty you are encountering) will become food along the way for someone else someday and my experience is that will be sooner rather than later. There is no such thing as a problem without a divine gift hidden within it. You have these problems because you need these gifts, and may I go so far as to say, other people need the "food" from these difficulties.
Someday, you will be sitting across a table from someone or you will run into them at church, the store, work or a chance happening (you know I don't believe in that) and they will have a similar problem, and you will be able to empathize with them as others cannot, because you have the scars. You will help, encourage, pray and actually help deliver someone else. You've walked that path, and your scars will become the very deliverance for you as well as for others.
If you can, as I did as a newborn (yeah, it was easier then) look up at your Surgeon, aka the Great Physician, and smile, knowing your life is in his hands, and knowing he sees your tears in the darkness. He hears the prayers you pray in the midnight hour, and know he is working a much better "operation" on you than you can imagine. Just as my physical ailment was keeping me from digesting food, something ugly in your life is keeping you from the real nutrition you need in your life. He wants to feed you and allow the life that is rising up in you to feed a multitude, just as the story of the little boy in the Bible with a bit of bread and a couple of fish fed a multitude, literally thousands.
You know how transparent I am with you, to an uncomfortable point for me at times, but if I share, and you are helped, it's worth it. When I am humiliated, humbled, afflicted, ridiculed, kicked while I'm down or whatever the plight (oh, yeah, I'm dramatic), I bow my head and I say, "I humble myself under your hand. Do what you need to do to heal me and to feed others through this." Something happens, I gain insight, someone speaks a word I need, I find a verse of Scripture with brand new meaning, or someone comes up alongside me with scars of their own, and cheer me on because they made it, I can too.
You may believe your plight is different, rare, shameful, or even one of a kind, but I am here to tell you, God specializes in rare cases (as my pyloric stenosis required specialists in the early 60s. Yeah, you already knew my age anyway.) If you will but look to him and smile, as a I did as a newborn trusting her surgeon, then he will open you, heal you, and though you may have scars, and we all do, they will tell the story of where you've been, but they will never dictate where you are going.
Scars remind us where we've been. They don't have to dictate where we're going.

Harry Hooper Single-Signed Ball
Starting Bid - $300.00 , Sold For - $1,527.50
Clark "Big League" baseball signed in black ink (grading "5/6") on a side panel by Harry Hooper. Hooper has added the date, "2-18-71," directly below his name. Harry Hooper single-signed baseballs are relatively scarce due to the fact that he passed away in 1974, long before autographs in general, and single-signed balls in particular, became high-priced commodities. Interestingly, Hooper was elected into the Hall of Fame by the veterans' committee in 1971, forty-six years after his retirement. Although the formal induction ceremonies are normally held during the summer, the announcement of each year's inductees is annually made in January. Therefore, technically speaking, this ball is probably one of the first ever signed by Hooper as a member of the Hall of Fame. The ball is in Near Mint condition. LOA from James Spence/JSA. Reserve $300. Estimate $500/$1,000. SOLD FOR $1,527.50

Dukes Down Team Essence, 91-44
Nov. 1, 2008
Duquesne's women's basketball team took to the court for the first time of the 2008-09 season and came away with a 91-44 exhibition win over Team Essence, Saturday afternoon at the Palumbo Center.
Senior Kristi Little led six Dukes in double figures with 19 points and 10 assists. Also tallying a double-double was junior Keri Pryor with 12 points and 10 rebounds.
Duquesne jumped to a 31-6 advantage in the first 12 minutes of the contest as all nine Dukes scored. Pryor led the way with eight of her 12 points coming in that span.
The overmatched Team Essence would cut the Duquesne lead to 23 points at the eight minute mark, but would get no closer the rest of the game as the Dukes built a 58-24 halftime lead and cruised through the second half.
Sophomore Kelly Britcher was Duquesne's second leading scorer with 14 points and a game-high five blocked shots while junior Eve Pyle led all rebounders with 11 boards to go with her nine points.
Freshman Alex Gensler, sophomore Samantha Pollino and junior Samantha Thompson each contrbuted 10 points.
The Red and Blue return to the hardwood next Saturday, Nov. 8 as they host Clarion at 2:30 pm in their final exhibition contest.

Kami and the Yaksby Andrea Stenn Stryer
Just before the start of a new trek, a Sherpa family discovers that their yaks are missing. Young Kami, anxious to help his brother and father maintain their livelihood, sets off by himself to find the wandering herd. A spunky deaf child who is unable to speak, Kami attempts to summon the yaks with his shrill whistle. Failing to rout them, he hustles up the steep mountainside to search the yaks' favorite grazing spots. On the way he encounters the rumblings of a fierce storm which quickly becomes more threatening. Surmounting his fear of being alone in the midst of treacherous lightning and hail, Kami uses his heightened sense of observation to finally locate the yaks. Reunited with their animals, the astonished family is once again able to transport their gear and guide the mountain climbers into the majestic terrain.<P><P> Winner of the Schneider Family Book Award

Not all the attractions in the Jordan Valley are archeological or agricultural. Tucked away in the hills about 9km south of Shuneh ash-Shamaliyyeh, and the same distance north of Pella, the SHARHABIL BIN HASSNEH ECOPARK offers a rare opportunity to explore the rolling valley landscape through walks, bike rides and nature tourism. Centred on the Ziglab Dam – and its long lake – the EcoPark was created by Friends of the Earth Middle East (FoEME), a consortium of Jordanian, Palestinian and Israeli environmental campaigners. From 2005 they have rejuvenated a damaged and heavily polluted stretch of terrain, which is now maintained mostly by volunteers, in conjunction with bedouin living on the land and villagers from local communities.
From the main gate, paths and driving routes lead to the Visitor Centre, set amid shady picnic areas, from where you can explore at will. Short circular walks of between thirty and ninety minutes lead around the protected area, with informational signboards explaining the work being done and identifying flora such as acacia and tamarisk, as well as birds, snakes, frogs and more (you can hire a guide to accompany you). Longer trails head out to explore further afield. Rising behind the Visitor Centre, the Ziglab Dam holds back a long, narrow lake of fresh water: it's a magnificent sight, beneath raptors circling in the silent heat. Opportunities for walks abound – one route leads all the way around the perimeter of the lake (6.3km) – or contact Amman tour operator Tropical Desert Trips (w tropicaldeserttrips.com) for details of their full-day wet/dry adventure hike around the lake using inflatable boats. Mountain bikes are available to rent from the Visitor Centre.

like discolorations?

Yeah, what you have is a simple solution to your problems. Why dont you use diana stalder products the papaya kojic soap and whitening cream or black licorice soap with the whitening cream. This webstore have the proper and original diana stalder packaging and its authentic. You can check out the customers testimonials about the products. They have the best products to get rid of dark spots, freckles and hyperpigmentation and not only that they have the best whitening skincare products… Please do check this website…http://www.freewebs.com/pinaybeautyprodu…
you should try skin brightning serum. I like the one from Clarins. It's expensive, but works.
the skin's color comes from pigmentation called melatonin which is produced underneathe the skin as a result of DNA structures.
there is a chemical one can digest to change the pigmentation, but the health risks pose a real danger.
there is nothing else that can change the melatonin. It reacts to damage from UVA and UVB rays, which we call a "tan", and we can use stains to tint the outer layers of the skin.
but nothing changes the pigmentation and so there is no way you can lighten your skin.
yes, i heard about that too..they say it's effective..
Let me try. Is it safe? What I know is that you can use it in your face once in a while to slough off old skin and have fine pores. But for skin whitening, I never heard of it yet until here.
it soften your skin i tried it but lighten, i don't think so.
try to use the link below. my friend use them in daily basis, it's actually cheap and effective 'coz i've seen a difference on her skin since using it for about a month. a set includes a soap, lotion and a facial wash. since i knew her secret i also tried, and i'm using it for a week already, and the pink one is great i love the smell and the lotion was made with spf15 you don't have to worry going out under the sun, the wash has microbeads it helps me clean my pores. so hope it helped.
no, egg whites help to tighten pores and skin;
skin lighteners whiten skin.

"It's like walking in another person's shoes. You understand what they go through - what the mindset is and how they have to work to achieve the beauty they achieve. It's intense."
Photographer and writer Sally Wiener Grotta wasn't afraid to get her hands dirty for the "Pennsylvania Hands" project. She tried blacksmithing, glass-blowing, spinning and quilting - just to name a few - in order to understand the subjects of her photographs and what they and, more importantly, their hands go through in order to make something useful and beautiful.
"I try all these things - because you have to. How can you resist?," Grotta said. "It's an opportunity to experience something new and watch skilled and talented people working at diverse projects that build our society. It's an opportunity and a privilege. I come out exhausted but so energized."

PHOTO By SALLY WIENER GROTTA
For the project, Grotta traveled around the state, taking photographs of artisans whose trades contribute something essential to society.
"With the blacksmith, it isn't what you always think of," she said. "When you go to the movies and see it on TV, you see the massive pounding and the wide swings on the anvil. But in reality, it's precision. The stress is in controlling the heavy hammer - and hitting it precisely."
Grotta said that she had to choke up on the hammer like a kid swinging a heavy baseball bat in order to control it.
"First, you have to put the metal into the fire," she said. "Andrew [Molinaro] gauges the temperature of the metal by the color and he knows by the color what he needs to do and for how long."
Her instructions were to hold the rod in the fire exactly where the flame is the hottest.
"Not into the embers but close to the embers," she said.
When it came time to strike the rod, Molinaro told her to make each hit as close as possible to the one before it.
"The first two hits, I got near each other, but the third was wildly off," she said. "Your muscles are really tense."
Grotta said that she failed at each task she tried, but that just gave her more respect for the masters and made her more eager to tell their stories.
"I am a storyteller," she said. "It's all about storytelling ... the stories also get burned into my mind. It's such an intense experience."
Grotta's intention for the project, which started in late 2008 and now continues to grow as "American Hands," was always to go national.
"It was originally thought of as 'American Hands,' " she said. "But it had to start small; it had to start local."
Pennsylvania is local for the photographer, who lives in the Poconos.
"I am Pa. born and bred," she said. "I love Pa. I have no desire to live anywhere else. I've been on assignment in all seven continents. I've been to Antarctica three times. But I choose to return every time to Pa."
Part of Grotta's motivation is to show people the importance of handwork in the 21st century.
"When we use our hands to experience the world, to change things, it changes who we are. It guides our minds, guides our hands and it affects our hearts. This is one thing that we could potentially lose in the digital age. It's one of the driving missions - driving reasons - behind my 'American Hands' project: to honor these artisans who are keeping these skills alive."
The exhibit has been on display throughout the state. It was first shown in Muhlenberg College in Allentown and has been in the state capitol building in Harrisburg and the Lebanon Valley Mall. Now, it's made its way to the James V. Brown Library, 19 E. Fourth St., where it will be on display until May 2.
Grotta had nothing but kind words for JVB.
"I've seen libraries all over the state and this is one of the best," she said. "It's beautiful - physically beautiful ... and they think of everything the community wants or needs. Any community - including big cities like Philadelphia - would love to have the kind of energy in the teen center that this library has.
Grotta will present a slideshow about "American Hands" at 6 p.m. May 2 at the library. She loves to talk directly to people about the project to see the impact that it has on them.
"One of the best responses I got was from a young girl," she said. "I give talks all over ... and for this one program, I didn't have the best kind of audience. They were kids being kept after school for disciplinary reasons ... and one young girl couldn't keep quiet. She was a cute, pert little blonde girl. I got her involved and said, 'Well, you have nice jeans.' She twisted in her seat, showing me the label. I said, 'I wonder how you would've gotten jeans like that a hundred years ago.' She looked at me."
Grotta told the girl that she would've had to pick the cotton and spin it to get a new pair of pants.
"I told her the process and she said, 'Ewwww! How horrible!,' " Grotta said. "But after that, she listened to the whole talk and afterwards, she came up to me and said, 'It makes you think - not everything comes from the mall.' And I thought, 'I won.' "
Besides being a successful photographer, Grotta also writes fiction and non-fiction. Her and her husband, Daniel Grotta, co-wrote the first book on digital photography, "Digital Imaging," and they have contributed articles to many publications, including Parade, PC Magazine, and Popular Science. Daniel also wrote the first biography of J.R.R. Tolkien, "J.R.R. Tolkien: Architect of Middle Earth."

Given the stress of the moment, that's understandable. Four of his key players - Tyler Smith, Brian Williams, Cameron Tatum and Melvin Goins - are facing assorted criminal charges stemming from their arrest last Friday. None will play Wednesday night against Charlotte and none is guaranteed to play again this season, pending the outcome of their legal matters.
Normally bubbly and energetic, Pearl was soft-spoken and subdued as he gave his take on the ugly incident that has brought the university considerable negative publicity in recent days. He was a little distracted, too, once referring to his team as having "an 11-2 record." In fact, the Vols are 10-2.
Acknowledging that this has been "a very difficult time," the coach said he and other UT representatives "have tried to be as honest and open as we possibly could, given the circumstances and the information that we know.... We are still very, very much in a difficult state, as relates to our feelings, our disappointment."
Noting that he and his players - past and present - have worked hard to "try to get our basketball program up to the level of excellence and credibility of the rest of the university," Pearl added: "When things like this happen, it tarnishes everything we're trying to do."
The coach said he talked to the four players before they had met with attorneys, adding: "I don't feel any differently after talking to them. They're accountable. They're disappointed. They're embarrassed - for themselves, for their families and for how they've represented the University of Tennessee."
In addition to possessing two guns (one with an altered serial number), a bag of marijuana and a container of open alcohol when they were stopped for speeding, the players were riding in a rental car whose use may have constituted an NCAA "extra-benefits" violation.
Pearl noted that the situation involves "several things that, when you add them all together, it's a worst-case scenario."
The coach expressed determination to "treat each individual fairly," adding that "As we continue to gain the facts, we'll make decisions as relates to their responsibility in the incident."
Pearl described the players as "forthcoming," but said they are "confused."
The coach said the legal system will determine which actions were felonies and which were misdemeanors, along with how many charges will be filed against each player. Once all of this is done, Pearl will weigh the information and determine the fate of the four individuals as relates to Vol basketball program.
"Obviously, I'm not an attorney," he said, "so we will listen and make the appropriate decisions at the appropriate times."
After mentioning his players, other UT athletes and students, fans and donors, university faculty members, officials and other UT employees, Pearl said he feels "that burden and that responsibility for having let all of those people down."
The coach noted that the four players "have no criminal record and have done a lot of really good things at the university, and are just as devastated, embarrassed and upset as anybody, so it's really important that we treat them fairly."
The coach asked that media and fans "allow this thing to run its course and trust - and TRUST - that the university officials, the athletic officials and myself will do the right thing."

2008 Grads Surprise Champions of Philanthropy
8 October 2010
Recent news headlines could leave you thinking philanthropy is the last thing on the minds of graduating students, but UCL's class of 2008 has proved this isn't the case. In the last year an unprecedented proportion of gifts to UCL have come from recent graduates. The big boost was an unexpected gesture of support from many who have left to join the working world only a short time ago.
2008 graduates were telephoned by a current student to talk about their experiences since leaving UCL and their advice for those who will soon be taking that step. The graduates were also asked to support UCL with a regular gift of £3 a month and the resulting response was overwhelmingly positive.
Nadia Menuhin (UCL French 2008) explained, "My £3 a month is a way to say thank you for my unique experience and for all the help that I received."
Hamish Stewart, Head of the Annual Fund at UCL, said of the success, "I think this reflects how those leaving UCL want to maintain their connection – and they want to acknowledge the skills and experience they have gained from their time at UCL.
"Our calls have also been a great way to create a sense of community among our recent graduates – encouraging them to reflect on how they can continue to maintain their relationship with UCL."

The United Nations says the conflict in Sudan's ravaged Darfur region is getting worse with no hope of some kind of political settlement.
For the past five years, the government-backed Janjaweed militia have raped and slaughtered entire villages at whim.
The U.N. now estimates at least 300,000 people have been killed in the fighting. However, other aid organizations say that number could go as high as 500,000.
The Sudanese government says those figures are "overblown."
Either way, the U.N. says the prospects for putting an end to the slow-motion genocide are grim. They say suffering in the region is on the rise. Tens of thousands of people have been uprooted from their homes and food rations for the needy are about to be cut in half.
"We continue to see the goalposts receding, to the point where peace in Darfur seems further away today than ever," said John Holmes, U.N. undersecretary-general for humanitarian affairs.
The U.N. also says deployment of new peacekeeping troops for the region has been delayed until 2009.
"We are late and we are trying to speed up the deployment of this mission, and we facing many obstacles," said the U.N.-AU force's envoy, Rodolphe Adada. "But eventually, with the help of some donors, we could be in a position to achieve maybe 80 percent of the force by the end of this year."
Of the authorized 26,000 soldiers and police officers, only about 9,000 have been deployed to the region.
The mission faces major problems in putting troops into a very hostile environment, Adada said. It still lacks five critical capabilities to become operational - attack helicopters, surveillance aircraft, transport helicopters, military engineers and logistical support.
Holmes said further progress in deploying the joint peacekeeping force, known as UNAMID, would help protect civilians and possibly humanitarian convoys.
"But only an end to all violence and concrete steps towards a political settlement will make the fundamental difference needed, as the rebel movements themselves above all need to recognize," Holmes said. "Otherwise the reality is that the people of Darfur face a continued steady deterioration of their conditions of life and their chances of lasting recovery."

Molluscum contagiosum is a viral disease of the skin that causes small pink- or skin-colored bumps on the skin of a child. It is not harmful and usually does not have any other symptoms. The virus lives inside the bumps and is mildly contagious. The bumps usually clear up without treatment over 6 to 9 months.
Molluscum contagiosum is caused by a virus called the poxvirus. It is most common in children and adolescents, although it can also affect adults.
The bumps are small and are usually pink- or skin-colored. Over time, the bumps may develop a small, sunken center. Children usually develop between two and 20 lesions, often in clusters. They are not harmful, but may cause some cosmetic concern for the child if they appear on the face or other visible areas.
Molluscum contagiosum is usually diagnosed based on a medical history and physical examination of the child. The lesions are unique and usually are diagnosed on physical examination.
Specific treatment for molluscum contagiosum will be determined by the physician based on:
In most cases, the lesions will heal without treatment over six to nine months. Additional treatment options may include:

Sometimes a mom's intuition is all it takes to get her child to the right physician. When 8-year-old Xavion Chisley developed a fungal infection on his toe, his mother, Nikki, immediately took him to see a dermatologist who removed his toenail to treat the infection. However, when Xavion's toenail grew back, the infection had not diminished but actually appeared to be spreading to his foot.

Seborrheic dermatitis, also known as cradle cap, is characterized by fine white scales on the head and scalp.
Skin color is determined by pigment (melanin) made by specialized cells in the skin called melanocytes. The amount and type of melanin determines a person's skin color.
Sunburn is a visible reaction of the skin's exposure to ultraviolet (UV) radiation, the invisible rays that are part of sunlight.
Skin parasites are small insects or worms that burrow into the skin to live there or lay their eggs.

There's a condition called ketoacidosis, that diabetics and alcoholics, can get into chracterized by the uncontrolled production of ketones, and a dangerously low (acidic) blood pH:
Diabetic ketoacidosis - PubMed Health
Ketosis is not the same thing. People pass naturally into this state if they cannot, for example, obtain food for a day or two, as must sometimes have happened in many human socities in the past. You'd probably also be in this state if your immediate environment hadn't many sources of glucose (as sugar or polysaccharides) in it also. Apparently, breast-feeding babies spend a fair amount of time in ketosis (even though breast-milk is fairly high in sugar).
It seems the two situations are sometimes confused even by people who should know better. I suppose no competent physician would regard a condition that is physiologically normal for a breast-feeding baby as pathological. But one (vegan) doctor that some teaching hospital has been lax enough to grant medical qualifactions to, quoted by Mark yesterday, is apparantly ill-informed enough to do so.
As regards diabetics -- as I understand it, before the discovery of insulin they were treated with very low carb diets, because that was the only possible treatment for them.
As for the desirability of ketogenic diets -- I guess that's a bit up in the air. There are specific therapeutic uses for ketogenic diets; and some reserchers seem to think that we must have spent a good deal of our evolutionary past in this state and may run better in it. And certainly chronically elevated levels of insulin are likely harmful, and, as you point out, lead to weight gain.
In your position I'd suggest you need to work with a doctor, because you don't want to be in state where you're badly out of whack with the insulin you're taking.

Homes cost about a third less in Western New York than the national average, and mortgage rates are lower, too. But property taxes that are two-thirds higher than the national average eat up a big chunk of that savings, new census data shows.
New statistics released Thursday by the U.S. Census Bureau found that homeowners in Western New York paid 34 percent less than the national average to buy their homes and 17 percent less for mortgages than those around the country.
But they also paid 66 percent more for real estate taxes, according to the 2011 American Housing Survey profile for the Buffalo-Niagara Falls metropolitan area.
Homeowners locally paid a median price of $72,500 for their homes, compared with a national median of $110,000. The national figure is up 2.3 percent from the 2009 survey.
The difference for new homes that were freshly built in the last four years was even starker, with Western New Yorkers paying $130,000, which is 45 percent less than the $235,000 median nationwide – itself down 2.1 percent from the 2009 survey.
The study also found that Western New Yorkers carried less debt on their homes.
According to the report, 59 percent of owner-occupied homes – 183,100 of 311,200 – in the Buffalo Niagara region had a regular mortgage or home equity loan on them, while 15 percent had a refinanced primary mortgage. Nationally, those rates were 65.4 percent and 23.4 percent, respectively.
With home prices cheaper than the national median, the loan payments locally were lower, too. Homeowners locally had median monthly mortgage payments of $845 in 2011, much lower than $1,015 nationally. The median interest rate locally was 5.4 percent. About 70 percent were paying between 5 percent and 19 percent of their monthly income.
The taxes, however, reduced the gap. Homeowners in Buffalo Niagara paid a median of $250 per month for real estate taxes, higher than the national median of $151.
They also paid median amounts of $91 per month for electricity and $45 for property insurance. That's better than the national monthly medians of $121 and $58, respectively. Natural gas costs locally were a median $101 per month, while water costs were a median $23 per month.
"The last five years remind us how central housing is to each of us personally, to the fiscal health of our cities and counties, and the national economy," said Kurt Usowski, deputy assistant secretary for economic affairs at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.
The data also showed that:
• The median year in which the householder had moved into their home was 1997.
• There were 81,800 households with children under age 18 and 229,400 without.
• The median household income was $65,000. Wages and salaries were the majority of income for 182,500 families or primary individuals in a household, while 107,900 received Social Security or Railroad Retirement benefits, and 85,900 received retirement or survivor pensions.
• About 15 percent of survey respondents locally had moved within the prior year from within the United States. Of those, most are now in a house and did not consider apartments. And 40 percent had found their current home by word of mouth.
• The median year when the primary mortgage on a home was originated was 2005, while the median number of years remaining was 18, with a median outstanding principal balance of $72,191, or a median 64 percent of the home's value.
• Buffalo Niagara homes are typically older. The median year in which occupied homes were built locally was 1953, versus 1974 nationally.
• About 166,000 homes locally have three bedrooms, while 126,900 have at least two bathrooms. The survey also noted that 272,100 of the homes have a porch, deck, balcony or patio, 121,600 have a usable fireplace, 203,300 have a separate dining room and 109,300 have at least two living or recreation rooms. The median square footage locally was 1,785.
• Natural gas is more dominant as the source of heat here than in the rest of the country. Locally, 87 percent of occupied homes used piped gas, while 7.8 percent had electric heating. Nationally, 50.4 percent of homes used piped gas, while 35.3 percent used electricity.
• Most Western New Yorkers don't rely on central air conditioning. The survey showed that 44.4 percent of owner-occupied homes in the Buffalo Niagara area had central air, compared with 72.5 percent nationwide.
• Buffalo-area homeowners are more cognizant and cautious about carbon monoxide, with 85 percent of owner-occupied homes here having working detectors, versus 46.3 percent nationally.

She's All That
After 90 minutes of this swill it felt like the left half of my brain had melted -- as if the person sitting next to me had spent the entire movie driving a knitting needle through my temple while singing Garth Brooks tunes. Welcome to Los Angeles High School, where director Robert Iscove and writer R. Lee Fleming Jr. have given new meaning to the word cliché.
Class President Zack (Freddie Prinze, Jr.) makes a bet with his best friend, Dean (Paul Walker), after breaking up with Taylor (Jodi Lyn O'Keefe) that he can turn any girl into a prom queen. Instead of picking the quadriplegic with the cleft lip and the bowel problem, Dean, who has the brain of a sausage (or a Hollywood writer), selects Laney Boggs (Rachael Leigh Cook), who has that confounding "I'm a model with glasses and my hair pulled back real tight" look. They actually have to explain her selection in the script. Zack says something like: "Oh no, not the recluse. Anything but the recluse." Okay, Zack, how about the four-hundred pound third-world transfer student who's pierced her clitoris with the family tribal spear?
Zack and Laney have the kind of romantic chemistry you get from mixing water and milk. The comedic element is supposed to be provided by Matthew Lillard who plays a former cast member of "The Real World" and steals Taylor away at the beginning of the film. The ironic thing about the movie's parody of "The Real World" is that while "The Real World" is annoying, Lillard's performance makes you wish you could jam a tazer in your rectum, turn on the juice, and watch MTV 24-7. As far as I'm concerned, a great career move for Lillard would be decapitation.
Utterly devoid of anything resembling emotion, the movie attempts to insert some with Zack's father (Tim Matheson) and Laney's father (Kevin Pollack) toward the end of the movie. Zack confronts Dad. Laney's gives her the "go get 'em" speech. It's like emotional farting. You can actually see the fumes from this thing cascading off the screen like some computer-generated space anomaly overtaking the Enterprise as the audience sort of buckles from the impact. I'm pretty sure that about the point when my brain melted.

The term "Home Rule" was coined to describe Ireland's bid for political autonomy in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Although independence movements of various kinds had existed in Ireland for centuries, the Home Rule movement gained momentum throughout Ireland due in large part to its disavowal of violence in favor of political reforms within the British constitutional system. This allowed the movement to draw support from groups whose goals and methodologies had conflicted in the past, including agrarian leaders, Catholic clergy, and disaffected members of the revolutionary Fenian Brotherhood. Operating in tandem with the Land Reform movement, which sought economic control over Irish land, the Home Rule …

PR guru Max Clifford has today been found guilty of a string of indecent assaults on teenage girls, in the first conviction under Operation Yewtree - the high profile investigation launched in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
After eight days' deliberation, a jury found him guilty of eight indecent assaults against four girls, aged 15 to 19, between 1977 and 1984.
He was found not guilty of assaults against an 18-year-old woman sometime between 1975 and 1976, and another against a 19-year-old woman in 1979.
Jurors could not reach a verdict on an accusation that he indecently assaulted a 14-year-old girl in 1966.
The Crown Prosecution Service will now consider how it wishes to proceed in relation to the charge with no verdict.
Clifford will be back in court on Friday for sentencing.
Read more on the day's events in court here, and thank you for following our live coverage today.
Clifford has been removed as patron of two Surrey charities following his conviction today, Get Surrey reports.
Clifford, from Hersham in the county, had been a patron for Woking & Sam Beare Hospices, whose chief executive Nigel Harding said this afternoon: "The charity of Woking & Sam Beare Hospices has noted the decision of the court today and will be informing Mr Clifford that we no longer wish him to act as a patron for the charity."
The PR expert was also a patron of Shooting Star CHASE - a children's hospice charity.
It said: "In light of Mr Clifford being found guilty of indecent assault, Shooting Star CHASE can confirm that Mr Clifford is no longer a patron of the charity."
To recap, these are the charges Clifford was today found guilty of:
- Four indecent assaults on a 15-year old girl in 1977
- Two Indecent assaults on a 16/17-year-old woman between 1981 and 1983
- One indecent assault on 19-year-old woman between 1981 and 1982
- And one indecent assault on an 18-year-old woman in 1984
He was cleared of an indecent assault on an 18-year-old woman between 1975 and 1976 and an indecent assault on a 19-year-old woman in 1979.
The jury was unable to reach a verdict on an allegation of indecent assault on a 14-year old girl in 1966.
The CPS will now consider how they wish to proceed in relation to this count.
Jenny Hopkins, deputy chief crown prosecutor for CPS London, added: "Today's verdicts provide a long-denied justice to the victims of serious sexual offences. I would like to thank these victims for having had the courage to come forward and give evidence.
" The victims of sexual abuse, whenever it may have taken place, should know that police and prosecutors will listen.
"It is only right that we now take some time to consider our position on the hung count and we will update the court accordingly."
People are continuing to give their reaction this afternoon to the conviction of PR guru Max Clifford for eight counts of indecent assault against teenage girls.
Detective Chief Inspector Michael Orchard from Operation Yewtree said outside court: "I would like to thank the victims for their courage and strength in coming forward to speak to us. I hope they feel and know that they were listened to.
"While this was a high profile trial, officers work tirelessly to bring offenders of sexual abuse to justice on a daily basis."
Holly Dustin, director of the End Violence Against Women Coalition, said: "The long deliberation in this case shows that the jury took its role very seriously and considered all the evidence on each charge very carefully. We pay tribute, in particular, to the victims in this case who have faced a long and difficult process."
The jury took eight days to reach its eight guilty and two not guilty verdicts. It failed to reach a verdict on one other charge.
Ms Dustin added: "This verdict also shows that the independence of the CPS is critically important, especially in sexual offence cases about which there are widely-held prejudicial attitudes and myths.
"Our prosecuting body must be allowed to make decisions about whether to send cases to trial on the basis of the evidence and the public interest alone, no matter how powerful or famous the accused. Recent political attacks on the CPS (following Nigel Evans's acquittal) are unwarranted and must stop."
Peter Watt, director of National Services at the NSPCC, said Clifford had been "rightly been unmasked as a ruthless and manipulative sex offender who preyed for decades on children and young women".
He added: "Clifford was a rich and influential man who dined with the stars but the way he manipulated and groomed his victims is typical of many sex offenders. He exploited their vulnerabilities, using lies and coercion to get what he wanted.
"Throughout the court case Clifford has behaved dismissively and arrogantly towards his victims and the suffering he has caused them. He made them go through a long and painful court case and relive their traumatic experiences by not pleading guilty.
"Many of his victims innocently came to him hoping he could make their dreams come true, dazzled by his celebrity connections. But he saw women and young girls as sexual objects for his own gratification. Instead of helping their bids for stardom he indecently assaulted them before casting them aside.
"Intimidated by his power and wealth, many of his victims did not initially speak out. But the courage they have shown in telling police what had happened to them and giving evidence means they have finally got justice."
Lawyer Liz Dux, who represents more than 150 people who have made complaints under Operation Yewtree, said: "This verdict proves Yewtree was not a celebrity witch-hunt.
"Some predatory people used their fame, money and celebrity to groom and then abuse the vulnerable.
"I hope this verdict sends a firm message - no longer will abusers like Clifford be shrouded in silence. Victims now have a voice and Britain will never return to the dark days of the 60s, 70s and 80s."
The jury could not reach a verdict on a count involving a woman who claimed Clifford groped her in his car after meeting her at a Wimpy bar in Morden, south London in 1966.
He was cleared of another two allegations - one woman who said she was pushed up against a wall in his central London offices when he groped her and kissed her in 1975, and another who claimed she was groped in a taxi in 1978.
Max Clifford has just left Southwark Crown Court.
He confronted the press and posed for photos with his family and supporters.
He said: "I have been told by my lawyers to say nothing at all".
Clifford ignored all questions, including whether or not he would be appealing.
He was then driven away in a silver Mercedes 4x4.
Another alleged victim, who was an extra in the film Octopussy, claimed she was targeted at Clifford's office in 1981 or 1982, aged 19.
The court heard that Clifford told her that actor Charles Bronson wanted pictures of her in her underwear to decide whether she could be in a film, and after she had spoken on the phone to a man claiming to be Bronson, Clifford pinned her down on a sofa, but she fought him off and left.
The next woman who made claims against Clifford was an aspiring model who went to his office in the early 1980s, when she was in her late teens, and was told to pose in her underwear.
She said that as she took off her dress, he told her "What a turn-on", and groped her, and after a phone call with his wife tried to force her to perform oral sex, telling her he would get her a part in a Bond film but she would have to sleep with Cubby Broccoli.
The court also heard from a woman who claimed Clifford had impressed her parents with celebrity tales and went on to abuse her from the age of 15.
She said she was driven to contemplate suicide when he falsely told her he had a photograph of her giving him oral sex.
In 2011 sent him a letter claiming he had made her life "a living hell".
Victims included a dancer who received a phone call while she was at a nightclub from someone pretending to represent producer Broccoli, and was told to find out whether Clifford was circumcised.
She then "froze" and realised she was "stuck", and feared she would be raped when Clifford took her into the toilet and assaulted her.
During the trial, the court heard from a string of women who testified about Clifford's behaviour, romping naked in his New Bond Street office.
Prosecutors portrayed him as a well-practised manipulator, who promised to boost his victims' careers and get them to meet celebrities in exchange for sexual favours.
He offered to get them casting appointments, pretending to be Hollywood bigwigs including Steven Spielberg, Albert "Cubby" Broccoli and Michael Winner on the phone, and bizarrely bragged about having a tiny penis, telling one victim: "Is it the smallest you've ever seen?"
The exact size of his manhood became a matter of contention during the trial, and his defence team asked a doctor to measure his penis as part of the evidence.
Clifford could be seen breathing deeply as he listened to the verdicts through a hearing loop.
He walked out of the courtroom with friends and supporters in complete silence, one of them patting him on the shoulder as he walked.
Clifford was released on bail until his sentencing on Friday, but Judge Anthony Leonard QC warned him this was no reflection on the sentence that will be passed.
He said: "You must realise that the fact I have given you bail is no indication of what the final sentence will be."
Clifford's youngest victim was 15 years old.
He was cleared of attacking two 18 and 19-year-old victims.
The jury failed to reach a verdict on a charge of assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
Clifford becomes the first person to be convicted under the high profile Operation Yewtree sex crime investigation.
The investigation, Scotland Yard's inquiry into historic allegations of sexual offences, was prompted after claims were made against the late DJ Jimmy Savile.
There was no reaction from Clifford in the dock as the verdicts were read out.
He is due to be sentenced on Friday.
He has been found guilty of eight counts of indecent assault, cleared of
two and the jury was unable to reach a verdict on one other.
Max Clifford has been found guilty of eight of the 11 charges against him.
He has been cleared of two others.
The jury has failed to reach a verdict on the remaining charge.
Welcome to our live blog as we cover the trial of PR guru Max Clifford.
The jury has been deliberating for eight days after hearing evidence of his alleged sexual assaults.
The panel of five women and six men have now been called back in and we are expecting a possible verdict imminently.
Clifford, 71, was first arrested in December 2012 after allegations of historic sexual abuse were reported to Operation Yewtree - the police probe launched in the wake of the Jimmy Savile scandal.
During a six-week trial at Southwark crown court in South East London, the jury has been told Clifford promised the victims roles in James Bond flick Octopussy, TV acting jobs and modelling contracts.
It was alleged that in return he forced them to perform sexual acts or groped them in locations such as the London offices of Max Clifford Associates and his car.
