All's well that ends well.
At least that's how the Hollidaysburg Area High School girls basketball team is looking at Friday night's clash with archrival Altoona this morning.
The Lady Tigers looked like a well-oiled machine at the start and surged to a 15-point halftime lead. However, foul problems for Hollidaysburg and some lights-out shooting brought Altoona all the way back, even allowing the

Altoona's Natalie Knab and Hollidaysburg's Morgan Jennings go all out after a loose ball during Friday's game.
Lady Lions to briefly go ahead before the Lady Tigers emerged with a 56-52 win at the AAHS Fieldhouse that pushed their record to 14-1.
"They stayed poised, and that was the bottom line there," Hollidaysburg coach Deanna Jubeck said. "When they made their run, I think our kids stayed focused, and they pulled together, and they gelled together a little bit tighter."
Hollidaysburg wasn't able to secure the victory until Courteney Storm made two foul shots with 9.6 seconds remaining to make it a four-point game. Storm led all scorers with 23 points, while Ashley McClain fired in 17, and Alex Scheel scored 10.
Darby Lee netted 20 for Altoona, which slipped to 7-8 despite having a packed house and about 40 former players on hand to support the team and former Lady Lion Cassie Grassmyer, whose son, Jack, was born with lissencephaly. Sarah Donley added 12 points, including 11 in the fourth quarter to power the Lady Lions' comeback.
"I definitely got a little nervous," Storm said, "but I knew I had to keep it together and keep my teammates up."
Hollidaysburg matched its biggest lead of the game at 16 points when Storm converted an old-fashioned three-point play in reverse - coming up with the loose ball after missing the second attempt on a two-shot foul and putting in the layup - with 3:47 to play.
Altoona, however, matched the 25 points it scored in the first 21 minutes over the next eight, going on a 25-8 run that culminated with Lee's three-point play at the 3:17 mark of the fourth quarter to give the Lady Lions a 50-49 advantage.
"Tonight, we found ourselves in a pretty big deficit, and we came back," Altoona coach Jill Helsel said. "We were able to get them in foul trouble, and we were able to score."
Just 1-for-11 from 3-point range in the first half, Altoona 6-of-16 behind the arc in the final two quarters. Donley made three 3-pointers in the fourth quarter after her older sister Lauren helped get the barrage going with a pair of treys in the third.
"We look inside [to score]. If that's taken away, we look outside," Helsel said. "People key on Darby a lot and double-team, which leaves the guards open. Credit our guards. They were setting great screens and getting our kids open, and our young kids were knocking them down."
Altoona's rally coincided exactly with the point in the game when Scheel and fellow Lady Tiger forward Morgan Jennings were forced to come out of the game with their fourth fouls 90 seconds apart in the fourth quarter.
"When you've got two kids about 6-foot protecting your paint, who were rebounding well in the first half, it was big to lose them," Jubeck said. "It was tough to have them on the bench for that extended period."
Jennings came back with 5:37 to play, and Scheel got back in with 2:37 left. Almost immediately, Scheel hit a hook shot over Lee to put the Lady Tigers in front again, and the best Altoona could do the rest of the way is tie at 52.
"She's a huge part of this team," Storm said of Scheel. "When our shots aren't going in, we rely on her. So the fact that she's making big plays is a really good thing."
Scheel had six points in the first quarter alone, but all the Lady Tigers seemed to be making big plays through the first 16 minutes. In the first half, Hollidaysburg was 12-for-21 from the field and outrebounded Altoona, 14-12. The Lady Lions also had four turnovers in the first 3:30.
Hollidaysburg started the game on a 7-0 run. McClain made a 3-pointer 30 seconds into the contest and had 11 points by halftime.
"We had good practices the last two days, went over our offenses. We just did what we were supposed to," McClain said. "It's a big game for us, but we wanted to get the best shot possible. Making the extra pass was what we had to do.
"I just had a feeling we were going to pull it out. I was very confident."
Down the stretch, Jennings went 3-for-6 from the line, sandwiched around Lauren Donley's layup off a Sarah Donley steal. Altoona, though, was unable to regain the lead - shots in close by Lee and McKenzie Hatch didn't go down, and Altoona also turned the ball over on an attempted entry pass.
"It just shows how close we are," Storm said. "When the going gets tough, we stick together, and we pull through."
Game notes: Lee also had eight rebounds, six of which came in the third quarter. She fouled out with 46.8 seconds left. ... Hollidaysburg was 22-for-29 at the foul line. ... Altoona returns to action tonight when the Lady Lions travel to Bishop McCort. Hollidaysburg is off until Wednesday when it hosts Derry. ... Altoona won the JV game, 42-37.

Otters shut out Greyhounds, take 2-0 series lead
SAULT STE. MARIE, Ontario -- The Erie Otters felt right at home all week long in this northern Ontario city.
The Otters completed a two-game sweep of Sault Ste. Marie on the road with a 4-0 Game 2 win Friday night in front of 4,920 fans at Essar Centre. Now the third-seeded Otters can close out this Western Conference semifinal series at home with victories in Games 3 and 4, which are set for Monday and Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Erie Insurance Arena.
Devin Williams posted his first OHL playoff shutout and fifth in franchise history with a 33-save effort, two nights after coming within 4 minutes of blanking the second-seeded Greyhounds in a 3-1 opening-game win Wednesday. Meanwhile, the high-scoring top line of Connor McDavid (two goals, two assists), Dane Fox (goal, three assists) and Connor Brown (three assists) exploded for a combined three goals and eight assists, with most of their damage coming in a decisive three-goal second period that opened a 4-0 lead.
"Devin Wiliams was outstanding," Greyhounds coach Sheldon Keefe said. "But we probably deserved more than we got. We're getting real unlucky offensively these two games."
The Otters also won the all-important special-teams battle, as they went 2-for-6 on the power play -- including two goals in a 29-second span early in the second -- and 7-for-7 on the penalty kill.
Consecutive penalties early in the middle period -- Bryan Moore's check to the head and a slashing call against Tyler Hore -- handed a two-man advantage to the Otters, who ranked No. 1 on the power play in the regular season (30.7 percent) and stand third in the postseason at 25.9 percent (7-for-27). Brendan Gaunce scored his fifth goal of the postseason on assists from McDavid and Fox 3:02 into the second period for a 2-0 lead.
Gaunce has points in five straight games and six of seven overall in the playoffs.
Fox scored his league-best seventh goal of the playoffs on the power play off assists from McDavid and Brown at the 3:31 mark to make it 3-0. Then Fox found McDavid in front of the net for the second-year center's second goal of the night and fourth of the postseasonm, making it 4-0 with 1:22 left in the period.
Fox leads the league with seven goals and 16 points in the playoffs. McDavid (four goals, eight assists) and Brown (three goals, nine assists) are in a three-way tie for second place at 12 points apiece. Gaunce has 11 points.
The Otters capitalized on a wide-open first period, which featured a combined 33 shots on goal, by taking a 1-0 lead on McDavid's goal with 7:47 left.
Other than that, Williams (14 saves on 14 shots) and Greyhounds counterpart Matt Murray (18 saves on 19 shots) were sharp in net. But the Otters took complete control in the second period at the expense of Murray, a Pittsburgh Penguins prospect, with three goals on 14 shots on goal while Williams silenced the Greyhounds. The Otters have outscored Sault Ste. Marie 7-1 in the series.
Now the Otters return home, where they had a 30-3-1-0 record in the regular season and won both games against Saginaw in their first-round series.

Clemens Fined $50,000
New York Yankees pitcher Roger Clemens was fined $50,000 by Major League Baseball on Tuesday for throwing the jagged barrel of a shattered bat toward New York Mets catcher Mike Piazza during Sunday night's Game 2 of the World Series. Clemens, who has not apologized for the incident, had claimed that gesture, while emotionally charged, was purely accidental. "This is the World Series," Clemens told reporters. "It shouldn't overshadow what we're trying to do." At the time of the incident, umpires at Yankee Stadium concluded that Clemens did not deliberately throw the broken bat at Piazza. In other World Series news, the Mets won game 3 last night, which gives them one game to the Yankees' two. The two New York teams play again at Shea Stadium tonight.

The Other Black Sea
We're watching a crime in progress," Councilman Eric Gioia, Democrat of Queens, tells a boatload of reporters who have come to see the largest urban oil spill in the United States seep into the ocean. In other circumstances, the oil, which has lain patiently under Brooklyn for over 50 years, might have powered your grandfather's DeSoto. Instead, it floats on the water table beneath 55 acres of Greenpoint.
Along with Brooklyn Democratic Councilman David Yassky, Gioia has joined a lawsuit to be brought next month by the environmental organization Riverkeeper, seeking to force ExxonMobil to pay penalties to the U.S. government and to clean up the spill, which dates at least as far back as 1950 and is an environmental disaster in which the company has enjoyed relative impunity. "It's caused untold amountsI mean, truly untold because we don't knowof environmental harm, damage to people's property, and very possibly health damage," says Yassky.
Originally estimated at 17 million gallons (six million more than the Exxon Valdez spill), it slouches through the underground loam toward the crumbling bulkheads lining Newtown Creek, between Brooklyn and Queens, where it collects on the seawater surface. It lies beneath industrial, commercial, and residential zones, including more than 100 homes, according to Riverkeeper. Slipshod booms line the Brooklyn side and are sometimes partially submerged or open at one end, allowing oil to flow out into the creek. The foul-smelling crude rises and drops with the tide, blackening the bulkheads up and down.
"The amount of penalty is currently up to $30,000 a day," said Karl Coplan, co-director, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., of the Environmental Litigation Clinic at Pace Law School. Coplan will supervise the law students arguing the case for Riverkeeper. The statute of limitations provides for penalties covering only the five years prior to the suit, he says, but "you could easily be talking something like over $50 million in potential penalties." Damage awards and cleanup from the Valdez spill cost Exxon $8.6 billion.

The spill has remained largely out of sight because its seepage is not visible from publicly accessible land. Members of Riverkeeper say they stumbled onto the spill during a 2002 tour of the harbor. ExxonMobil has claimed that it first discovered the spill only in 1978, when its seepage was spotted by the Coast Guard during a routine flyover. The company hasn't revealed the precise circumstances of the original spill, but a 1979 report commissioned by the Guard found that the oil seeping into the creek was mostly likely 30 years old.
That may mean the bulk of the spill was the result of a spectacular explosion in 1950 at a site owned by Rockefeller's Standard Oil, Mobil's predecessor. Petroleum product leaked into sewers and exploded, creating a blast heard a mile away that blew open a reinforced concrete main, shattering hundreds of windows, and hurling 25 manhole covers three stories into the air. Neighborhood residents ran into streets shouting, "Atom bomb!" Decades of sloppy handling on the site progressively contributed to the overall size of the spill.
In 1990, the state's Department of Environmental Conservation and Mobil agreed to a consent decree requiring remediation of the spill. State officials claimed then that Mobil had removed 3 million gallons during a 10-year cleanup. They cited the same figure in 1995, and a company engineer testified in 1997 that Mobil was still in the "initial phases" of cleanup. In 2003, after more than 23 years of cleanup, the company claimed to have recovered well under 5 million gallons.
Riverkeeper views the decree as toothless and notes that it neither extracted any penalties from Mobil nor stipulated an amount of oil to be removed.
Studies indicate that the oil is likely being carried to every corner of New York harbor. More worrisome is the spill's effect on the Brooklyn aquifer. Before 1947, Brooklyn pumped water from wells, and its aquifer was an intended backup in case of drought or the loss of reservoirs. The oil has poisoned the aquifer.

Second blast of arctic cold hitting Erie
The Erie area is getting its second heavy dose of chilling Arctic winds this week, along with much of the northern United States.
An unusual weather pattern driving bitterly cold air from the Arctic Circle south is expected to send temperatures plummeting today and Tuesday, pushing some areas in the Midwest to record cold temperatures for 60 hours.
Kirk Lombardi, meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Cleveland, said temperatures likely won't make records in Erie, but it will still be bitter cold.
"It will be among the coldest days we've seen for an extended period this year," Lombardi said.
The National Weather Service is predicting temperatures to fall to 3 degrees today, and will continue to drop to about minus 3 degrees Tuesday, seven degrees shy of the record set in 1977. That cold air is expected to linger through Wednesday, and temperatures aren't expected to reach the 20s again until Thursday.
Temperatures will remain in the grips of the deep freeze for two and a half days, said meteorologist Mike Hudson of the National Weather Service in Kansas City, Mo. It will be similar to what happened earlier this month when temperatures dropped quickly and stayed low for days when a piece of the polar vortex -- winds that circulate around the North Pole -- "broke off and moved south," Hudson said.
In cities where temperatures reached the 40s, 50s and even higher on Sunday, people were expected to wake up today to temperatures ranging from the teens to well below zero. And with the wind chill, cities throughout the Midwest will feel far colder than the minus 4 that Hudson said was expected in Barrow, Alaska, the nation's northernmost city.
Winds of 20 to 30 mph in Erie could push wind chills to minus 18 tonight and minus 21 Tuesday, according to the weather service's Cleveland office.
"We're definitely going to get our share of the cold," Lombardi said. "And it won't be pleasant."
Lombardi said the temperatures will be dangerously cold, so people should avoid the outdoors if possible, check on the elderly or others susceptible to temperature swings, bring outdoor pets indoors and make sure not to leave any exposed skin if they have to venture out of the home.
Temperatures will be brutal in Erie, but are even worse to the west. The weather service said city after city will face wind chills well below zero today: minus 43 in Minneapolis, minus 23 in both Milwaukee and Chicago, minus 14 in Kansas City, minus 10 in St. Louis, and minus 3 in Louisville, Ky.
In the Chicago area, residents were bracing for a historic deep freeze. Today's high was expected to be minus 4 and drop as low as 17 below zero downtown, with wind chills as low as 40 below zero.
Temperatures could remain below zero Tuesday as well and remain below zero for a total of 60 hours -- the longest stretch since temperatures stayed below zero for a record 98 hours in 1983 and the third-longest stretch in 80 years. It also would easily eclipse the 36 straight hours temperatures stayed below zero earlier this month, when the frigid weather prompted the city's public schools to close for two days.
By noon Sunday, Chicago's school district, which has approximately 400,000 students attending more than 650 schools, said it would be closed today. Districts in the Chicago suburbs also announced they'd be closed.
In Michigan, snow on the roads and deep subfreezing temperatures contributed to multiple crashes Sunday that forced expressway closings. And on Saturday night, two people were killed in Grand Haven Township in western Michigan because of similar weather conditions, authorities said.
North Dakota and South Dakota residents dealt with dangerous cold Sunday and wind gusts that reached up to 60 mph. The high winds led to blowing snow that made it nearly impossible to travel in some areas of the two states.

In a column published in Wired, the project's founder, Richard Stallman, made the argument that free software is nowadays more important than ever.
The thrust of Stallman's piece was that users must remain in control of their computing, programs, and data — and therefore, by that definition, the usage of cloud services removed the users' control.
As the world increasingly moves to as-a-service computing, it's a timely reminder of the compromises made by users, in Stallman's eyes, whenever they use the cloud.
"Both non-free software and SaaSS can spy on the user, shackle the user, and even attack the user," wrote Stallman.
SaaSS is Stallman's word for SaaS, which stands for "service as a software substitute", and continues a trend of childish word substitution that I feel often distracts from his otherwise sage words of advice.
But leaving that to one side, Stallman's point is more pertinent with the revelations that have become public knowledge after the ongoing saga of the Snowden leaks.
"If you use SaaSS, the server operator controls your computing. It requires entrusting all the pertinent data to the server operator, which will be forced to show it to the state as well — who does that server really serve, after all?" Stallman wrote.
And in line with many of Cassandra-like denunciations of the past, it seems that few will heed the warnings on cloud computing until something drastic occurs.
With Stallman's ongoing 30-year task to move the world over to free software being a herculean one, the call to prevent the uptake of SaaS and cloud technologies seems like an even larger task.
While few many agree totally with his viewpoints, and with the techniques that he uses to express his thoughts, there is often an underlying current of logic to Stallman's thoughts that deserves further consideration.

Army Corps of Engineers:
Lake Pontchartrain and Vicinity Hurricane Protection Project

The greatest natural threat posed to the New Orleans area is from hurricane-induced storm surges, waves, and rainfalls. A hurricane surge that can inundate coastal lowlands is the most destructive characteristic of hurricanes and accounts for most of the lives lost from hurricanes. Hurricane surge heights along the Gulf and Atlantic coasts can exceed 20 feet. The effects of Hurricane Katrina flooded a large part of New Orleans and breached the levees that are part of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (Corps) Lake Pontchartrain, and Vicinity, Louisiana Hurricane Protection Project. This project, first authorized in 1965, was designed to protect the lowlands in the Lake Pontchartrain tidal basin from flooding by hurricane-induced sea surges and rainfall. GAO was asked to provide information on (1) the purpose and history of the Lake Pontchartrain, and Vicinity, Louisiana Hurricane Protection Project and (2) funding of the project. GAO is not making any recommendations in this testimony.
Congress first authorized the Lake Pontchartrain and Vicinity, Louisiana Hurricane Protection Project in the Flood Control Act of 1965. The project was to construct a series of control structures, concrete floodwalls, and levees to provide hurricane protection to areas around Lake Pontchartrain. The project, when designed, was expected to take about 13 years to complete and cost about $85 million. Although federally authorized, it was a joint federal, state, and local effort. The original project designs were developed based on the equivalent of what is now called a fast-moving Category 3 hurricane that might strike the coastal Louisiana region once in 200-300 years. As GAO reported in 1976 and 1982, since the beginning of the project, the Corps has encountered project delays and cost increases due to design changes caused by technical issues, environmental concerns, legal challenges, and local opposition to portions of the project. As a result, in 1982, project costs had grown to $757 million and the expected completion date had slipped to 2008. None of the changes made to the project, however, are believed to have had any role in the levee breaches recently experienced as the alternative design selected was expected to provide the same level of protection. In fact, Corps officials believe that flooding would have been worse if the original proposed design had been built. When Hurricane Katrina struck, the project, including about 125 miles of levees, was estimated to be from 60-90 percent complete in different areas with an estimated completion date for the whole project of 2015. The floodwalls along the drainage canals that were breached were complete when the hurricane hit. The current estimated cost of construction for the completed project is $738 million with the federal share being $528 million and the local share $210 million. Federal allocations for the project were $458 million as of the enactment of the fiscal year 2005 federal appropriation. This represents 87 percent of the federal government's responsibility of $528 million with about $70 million remaining to complete the project. Over the last 10 fiscal years (1996-2005), federal appropriations have totaled about $128.6 million and Corps reprogramming actions resulted in another $13 million being made available to the project. During that time, appropriations have generally declined from about $15-20 million annually in the earlier years to about $5-7 million in the last three fiscal years. While this may not be unusual given the state of completion of the project, the Corps' project fact sheet from May 2005 noted that the President's budget request for fiscal years 2005 and 2006, and the appropriated amount for fiscal year 2005 were insufficient to fund new construction contracts. The Corps had also stated that it could spend $20 million in fiscal year 2006 on the project if the funds were available. The Corps noted that several levees had settled and needed to be raised to provide the level of protection intended by the design.

Rams Fear OT Jake Long Has a Torn ACL
Less than four minutes into the Bucs-Rams game Sunday, Rams Pro Bowl offensive tackle Jake Long was carted off with a knee injury and he did not return.
Head coach Jeff Fisher told reporters after the game that he believes it's a torn ACL but will await further testing.
"We anticipate the worst for Jake," Fisher said. "We'll confirm [it but] we're suspecting he has a torn ACL."
On third-and-8 of the Rams' first offensive possession, with defensive end Adrian Clayborn approaching, Long's back?leg?appeared to buckle underneath him.?He was carted off the field.
The Rams have already been without starting?right guard Harvey Dahl, who suffered a knee injury against the Seattle Seahawks back in October, and starting center Scott Wells, who suffered a broken fibula in September against the San Francisco 49ers.
Long joined the Rams this year on a four-year, $36 million contract after five seasons with the Miami Dolphins, who made him the first overall pick of the 2008 NFL draft.

Roentgenograms of the chest taken during the course of pertussis were first described by Gottlieb and Möller,1 more than twenty years ago. The subject has recently been excellently reviewed by Lapin2 and Maggi.3 Often they found no clinical evidence or physical sign corresponding to the changes noted in roentgenograms of the lungs. Careful pathologic studies of lungs of children who died of pertussis were made by Feyrter,4 Hayakawa5 and others. These lungs on gross examination showed scattered areas of consolidation and atelectasis. Some authors emphasized enlargement of the lymph nodes in the hilar region as a contributing cause of symptoms. Histologic examination showed mainly peribronchial infiltration, with infiltration of the adjacent alveoli and interstitial thickening of the alveolar walls. Areas of atelectasis and emphysema were also seen frequently. The changes seen in roentgenograms were therefore thought to be caused by the pulmonary conditions previously described

Dinner for Schmucks
Starring: Steve Carrell, Paul Rudd, Zack Galifianakas, Jemaine Clement
Genre: Comedy
Director: Jay Roach
Tim (Paul Rudd) is up for a promotion and gets invited to a dinner by his boss that requires him to find the biggest idiot possible and bring him along, enter IRS employee/ Taxidermist Barry (Steve Carrell)
On paper reuniting Rudd and Carrell together seems like a great idea, Rudd plays Tim the same character he has been playing in movies like "Role Models" and "I love you Man", essentially the romantic leading straight man who learns about life and himself through his quirky costar. In this instance said costar is Steve Carrell who 's Barry can be described as having a personality somewhere between his "The Office" character Michael Scott and his "Anchorman" character "Brick Tamland", essentially somewhere between bumbling idiot and complete dunce.
Schmucks falls short primarily due to the fact that for a movie called Dinner for Schmucks it is surprisingly lite in the aforementioned Dinner. Schmucks feels like the dinner was tacked on at the last minute. What we have is essentially a romantic comedy where Barry screws up Tims relationship with his girlfriend Darla (Stephanie Szostak) and leads Tim to believe that Darla might be having an affair with artist Kieran(Jemaine Clement) who possesses an animal magnetism that draws woman to him. In addition we encounter mind reading Therman (Zach Galifiankais) who has a penchant for turtle necked dickies and torturing Barry.
Sadly Tims relationship with Stephanie never really seems legit, It seems like more of a simple plot device to keep the story moving from one awkward scene to the next. The highlight of the film is Galifianakis as IRS Agent/ Mind Reader Therman if only he had more than 10 minutes of screen time; it might have made the film more enjoyable.
I was never sure if Barry suffered from some sort of mental disorder or if he was just an idiot, at times he seems normal and at other times completely inept. He is able to work for the IRS and create incredible dioramas featuring dead mice reenacting important times in history or his life, yet Barry will stand in a pond for no reason. Barry seemed underdeveloped as a character not knowing why he was the way he is. It would have been nice likewise if Rudd was able to bring more to his character than he has in the past few movies he has been a part of, it might have helped.
Schmucks is an uneven movie with some enjoyable moments and some laughs if more was focused on the dinner it might have been able to reach the next level. Unfortunately it's a lost opportunity.

Serena Williams looked stunning at Sunday night's Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party – but, privately, the tennis ace was struggling with a serious health scare that took a dramatic turn on Monday.
Williams, 29, had been spotted at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles several times over the past week. When contacted about the visits, Williams's rep, Nicole Chabot, confirmed the athlete's heath status to PEOPLE.
"Monday Serena Williams underwent emergency treatment at Cedars for a hematoma she suffered as a result of treatment for a more critical situation," the rep says in an exclusive statement.
"Last week, Serena suffered from a pulmonary embolism [a blood clot in the lungs] which was discovered upon her return to L.A. She had been in New York for doctor appointments for the ongoing issues with her foot."
The rep added, "Doctors are continuing to monitor her situation closely to avoid additional complications."
Sister Venus, meanwhile, tells ET Canada she has been talking to her sister every day. "She's doing okay," she says, adding, "She's in good spirits."

The Rio Rancho Police Department said it's ready to respond to a shooting situation like the recent one in Newtown, Conn.
Leaders with the Rio Rancho Police Department said any officer who responds to a shooting is supposed to enter the building immediately.
"Where ultimately the first couple of officers who arrive on the scene of a potential active shooter situation basically go into a hunting mode where they are going to look at any threats to immediate human life and resolve them as quickly and peacefully as possible," Sgt. Nicholas Onken said.
Before Columbine, many police agencies had their officers wait for backup, but that has changed in the wake of so many school shootings.

Dr. Conrad Murray will serve four years behind bars for his role in the death of Michael Jackson.
Judge Michael Pastor gave Murray the maximum sentence Tuesday, saying the evidence in the case showed a "continuous pattern of lies and deceit" by the doctor.
Murray, 58, was convicted of involuntary manslaughter earlier this month. Several members of the Jackson family attended the sentencing hearing.
In a statement, the family said they hope Murray's punishment, "Reminds physicians that they cannot sell their services to the highest bidder and cast aside their Hippocratic oath to do no harm."
Murray will likely only serve half his sentence due to automatic credit for good behavior, Los Angeles County Sheriff's spokesman Steve Whitmore said.
The judge gave a 30-minute explanation of why he was sentencing Murray to the maximum jail time, even though the doctor was technically eligible for probation.

WAYNE, N.J. -- Grand Union Co. here said last week it intends to make a prepackaged Chapter 11 filing as part of a capital-restructuring agreement reached with a steering committee of the chain's bondholders.

Memoir recalls painful struggle with polio
Jerry Apps' nightmare arrived in the middle of the night in a setting Stephen King would have loved: an isolated Waushara County farmhouse buried under January snows.
This nightmare began in 1947 with what seemed like a simple sore throat, but the horror quickly seeped into Apps' right leg, paralyzing it at an angle. At age 12, Apps had been stricken with polio, and his world would never be the same. »Read Full Article
'Catch Me if You Can' has trouble getting airborne at Marcus Center
By the time he was 21, Frank Abagnale had cashed more than $2 million in bad checks, while passing himself off as a pilot, doctor and lawyer.
Not to be outdone, the low-budget "Catch Me if You Can," on stage at the Marcus Center through Sunday, spends more than two interminable hours impersonating various ideas of a decent show. True to the maxim that form follows content, it doesn't just tell the story of a fake. It also gives us one, at thrice the price of other shows now playing in town. »Read Full Article(8)

Networks off to quick start
The shadow of Fox's "American Idol" looms in the coming days, but it's ABC and CBS that are off to the fastest starts in the May sweep.
Through the first three nights, the Alphabet web held a slight edge on the Eye in adults 18-49, with CBS taking the lead in adults 25-54 and total viewers. Fox, with its midweek combo of "American Idol" and "House," is expected to win the month in 18-49, but ABC could be a force to deal with.
On Thursday, according to Nielsen, ABC kicked things off with a victory over CBS in 18-49 (5.2 rating/14 share to 4.8/13) — the first time the net has started the May sweep on top in at least 15 years. And on any May sweep Thursday, it's ABC's best average since a celebrity edition of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" in May 2000.
The Alphabet ran fourth in demos from 8 to 9 with "Ugly Betty" (3.1/9 in 18-49, 9.62 million viewers overall), although the net nearly doubled its performance in the hour on the same night a year ago. "Grey's Anatomy" then won in key demos at 9 (8.4/21 in 18-49, 20.08m) though its numbers were on the low end of its range, while the season finale of "October Road" closed out the night with a demo victory for ABC (4.1/12 in 18-49, 9.00m).
Compared with the same night a year ago, when "American Inventor" and "Commander in Chief" opened the sweep, ABC was up by 152% in 18-49 (5.2 vs. 2.1). CBS declined by 28% (4.8 vs. 6.7) and NBC by 20% (3.2 vs. 4.0); fourth-place Fox was up by 17% (2.7 vs. 2.3).
At CBS, "Survivor: Fiji" (4.6/14 in 18-49, 13.83m) was in line with its recent performances to win the 8 o'clock hour, leading into a solid second-place demo finish at 9 for "CSI" (5.9/15 in 18-49, 20.20m); the crime drama was on the low end but eked out a victory in total viewers over "Grey's Anatomy." Rounding things out, "Shark" (3.8/11 in 18-49, 14.10m) placed second in 18-49 and first in adults 25-54 and total viewers.
NBC was up vs. a year ago in the opening hour with "My Name Is Earl" (3.2/10 in 18-49, 7.49m) and "The Office" (3.9/11 in 18-49, 7.56m) but down from 9 to 10 with "30 Rock" (2.4/6, 4.72m) and "Scrubs" (2.3/6 in 18-49, 4.65m). At 10, "ER" (3.7/10 in 18-49, 9.52m) remained at its recent low levels, jumping from its lead-in but still placing third in 18-49.
Fox was solid at 8 with "Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader?" (3.5/10 in 18-49, 10.13m) but fell back at 9 with "Trading Spouses" (1.9/5 in 18-49, 4.76m), while the CW's "Smallville" (1.5/4 in 18-49, 3.88m) was off about 20% vs. the same night a year ago on the WB, but lead-out "Supernatural" (1.3/3 in 18-49, 3.33m) was on par.
Friday went to CBS, which was paced by the slot-leading "Ghost Whisperer" at 8 (prelim 2.6/10 in 18-49, 9.1 million).
The Eye won all three hours in 25-54 and total viewers, but ABC was more competitive than usual in younger demos thanks to a new "Wife Swap" at 9 (prelim 2.2/7 in 18-49, 5.5 million) and "20/20" at 10 (prelim first-place 2.7/9 in 18-49, 7.7 million). Newsmag collected its best numbers in 10 weeks with a report on transgendered youth.
NBC, which had been competitive on the night, struggled with gamer "Identity" (prelim 1.5/6 in 18-49, 5.2 million) and dramas "Raines" (prelim 1.4/5, 5.6 million) and "Law & Order" (prelim 1.8/6, 7.4 million). Its all-original night tied Fox's repeats of "House" and "Bones" for third place.
Through three nights of the sweep, ABC held a slight lead over CBS for the 18-49 lead (2.9/9 vs. 2.8/9), followed by Fox (2.1/7) and NBC (2.0/6), while CBS was on top in total viewers. Four-week ratings period ends May 23.

BURNHAM - The Mifflin County Parks and Recreation Committee held a meeting at Derry Township Community Park on July 24 to review the swimming pool area as the potential dog park area. Several updates and suggestions were given during the meeting.
In regard to the dog park, committee minutes state Molly Schlegel met with three subcommittee members to discuss park areas. The subcommittee believed there should be two separate areas in the park, one for large dogs and one for small dogs. Alternating days for each size dog was suggested as well. It was also recommended that a tag would be given to put on the dog's collar, which would indicate proof of shots.
Schlegel also spoke with Bill Paige, Granville Township supervisor, about considering ways to support the dog park. Paige plans on discussing it at the next council meeting.
It was noted that the committee may keep the children's pool already in the area for a watering and cleaning station. It was confirmed that the existing lights in the park do work, and Derry Township is waiting for the engineering consultant to report back on water lines and digging lines. The group plans on taking action on several items, including fencing costs, insurance costs and sustaining support for the park project, before its next meeting.
The committee also began to talk about making the dog park a county-wide community project, not a Derry Township project. Derry Township's role in the project will be to lease the space for $1 per year, according to the proposal in the committee minutes.
According to the minutes, Bill Gomes, of Mifflin County Planning and Development and Marie Mulvihill, of the United Way of Mifflin-Juniata, also worked to get approval to apply for a RecTap grant. The purpose of this grant is to develop a sustainable county wide playground program. It was stated that a municipality was needed to be the sponsor for the application. This requires a municipality to become a "Friend" for the cost of $20, and "Associate" membership is $40.
The next meeting of Mifflin County Parks and Recreation will be held at 6 p.m. Aug. 21 at the Regional Business Center, Lewistown.

YOUNGSTOWN - The Youngstown State men's basketball team used a strong second half to earn a 71-44 victory over Hiram on Saturday night at the Covelli Centre. It was the Penguins' first off-campus home game in the city of Youngstown since February 1972.
A crowd of 1,576 saw Hiram (1-4) hang tough with the Penguins in the first half. Neither team could find their shooting touch in the building's first collegiate game. However, YSU (6-4) outscored the Terriers 40-23 in the second half to pull away for their third-straight victory.
Senior Damian Eargle led all scorers with 20 points on 6-of-8 shooting. He also finished 7-of-9 from the free-throw line. Included in his six field goals was the first-ever made 3-pointer of his career, which came in the second half. Also in the second half, Eargle blocked the 300th shot of his collegiate career combining his season at UNC-Greensboro and three at Youngstown State.
Kendrick Perry and Shawm Amiker added 12 points each, with Amiker's coming on 4-for-4 shooting from the field and 4-for-6 from the free-throw line. Perry added a game-high seven assists.
YSU never trailed in the contest and opened the game by scoring 15 of the first 17 points. Hiram had just two points 6 minutes and 37 seconds into the contest. The Penguins' lead ballooned to 22-6 at the the 10-minute mark on a 3-pointer by Blake Allen.
Leading 26-11, YSU went scoreless for 4:23 while the Terriers eventually cut the deficit to 29-21 with 1:38 left in the half on a 3-pointer by Josh Edmundson.
At halftime, YSU led 31-21. The Penguins shot 29.6 percent while Hiram hit at just a 25.8 percent clip. The Penguins used a 13-of-16 performance at the free-throw line to take a 10-point lead into the locker room.
After Hiram scored the first two points of the second half, YSU scored eight straight points and led by at least 13 the rest of the contest. Eargle's 3-pointer at the 9:55 mark capped a 23-7 run for the Penguins to start the half. YSU led by as many as 28 on four occasions.
The Penguins shot 53.1 percent in the second half and 42.4 percent for the game. Hiram, which outrebounded YSU 42-41, shot less than 27 percent in both halves and 26.2 percent for the game. Edmondson and Aaron Stefanov finished with eight points apiece.
The Penguins are off until Dec. 18 because of final exams. YSU returns to action at USF to begin a two-game swing through the Sunshine State. The contest is live on ESPN3 and 570 WKBN.

Former Florida International coach Richard Pitino must be glad that he left FIU when he did—the school is ineligible for the 2014 postseason because it failed to meet the NCAA's minimum Academic Progress Rate number.
FIU was one of six Division I schools to receive the postseason ban. Alabama State, Grambling State, Mississippi Valley State, Arkansas-Pine Bluff and New Orleans were the others. Data at three of those schools (Alabama State, Mississippi Valley State and Arkansas-Pine Bluff), however, are still being reviewed.
Postseason eligibility requirements include the need for teams to have a four-year APR of at least 900, or a two-year average of 930. FIU did not meet either threshold. Its multiyear average was 897, and its two-year average was 896.
Pitino can't be blamed for any of FIU's academic shortcomings. He was there for only one season before accepting the job at Minnesota, and the grades of his players in 2012-13 are not counted in this computation.
APRs are based on eligibility, graduation and retention of each scholarship student-athlete.
Former Norfolk State coach Anthony Evans, hired to replace Pitino, will be the one suffering the consequences. Evans led Norfolk State to an upset win in the round of 64 as a No. 15 seed vs. Missouri in the 2012 NCAA Tournament.
School spokesman Paul Dodson told Sporting News that Evans will not comment on the team's postseason ban.

A sad reality
January 20, 2013
With regard to the letter entitled "Moral?", any reasonable person knows the sad reality that bad things sometimes happen to good people....
I like your POV Phil. The superficial being is something to be desired. As always, I have relied on the engines performance and a lot less on the dents,dings, and minor rust on the body.

The eternal question is ,"is man able to rule or govern himself?" History has taught us that,at times, the answer is "no". Where humanity has been corrupted by the*****for power and greed, the image of God has been thrown off and the evil image of Sin takes over.

" There is a moral deficiency among our young people,"
So then what you're saying is that should the parents of these people begin to suffer senile dementia as they get older, we can't count on these kids to empty the closets full of firearms their mentally unstable parents are sitting on? And if they do, then the weapons just change possession from someone too mentally unstable to have firearms, to someone too irresponsible to have firearms?
That's just great.

An individual make choices whether to respect the rights of others or not. Some chose to do the right thing simply because their self image requires them to do so; other's self image requires them to take whatever they can, without considering the rights of others.

This is the second letter in a row that I have read that I enjoyed readig and thinking about. For me, that is because the author wasn't lecturing the reader or refusing to acknowledge the reasonableness of other points of view.

I agree with twinder's post however you will find that there are people who only want the Bible to be study and only the Christian religion studied.
I think children would benefit from a class on the various religions but I suspect that such a class would be deem more controversial than reading from the Bible every morning before class.

"I went through public school back in the days of classroom Bible reading.
I doubt any child was scarred for life upon hearing these passages, and maybe, just maybe some kids who came from households where little, if any, morality was displayed might have been affected positively." - Ken Robertson
We WERE "affected positively"...to the distress of our "educators"/parents.

ToTEXASfromPA-"Parents need to take the lead role."
Sadly, many don't or can't. They don't know how. They themselves were raised in less than moral surroundings, in homes where adultery and booze/drugs were the norm. Where if you got to a rough patch in your marriage you just left and moved on to a string of sexual partners. Too many kids are taught, through interaction and observance of adults around them, that the only thing valuable is their personal satisfaction at the time. They aren't taught how to deal with problems except to walk away from them. They aren't told that anything worth having is worth working and fighting for. Too many aren't taught the value of life. No, sadly, many parents don't take that lead role.

Most world religions are based on the same moral and value systems. To learn their origins and history would truly be of value.
I whole heatedly advocate a non-sectarian instruction of basic values and morality, but whose do we teach? Mine, yours, someone else's?
I think the values instilled by the 10 Commandments would be a great place to start if it was taught in a historical context rather than a religious one. Just a thought...

There is no sane reason why high school students shoud not study the various religious writings. Not just the Bible. It just may help everyone to have a little better understanding of others in society and the world as a whole. How could learning about the various religions cause any harm?

NEW YORK — Yankees pitcher CC Sabathia said his frustration at giving up a cheapie single to David Ortiz was the reason Grady Sizemore eventually smacked a three-run bomb off of him, giving the Red Sox their final go-ahead lead.
But Francsico Cervelli said the blame should ultimately fall on him.
Cervelli said he didn't notice a flustered Sabathia, "but I think it's my job to keep him in the game. He was working so well. Just next time if I see (Sabathia acting) a little different, I got to go there and talk to him. I take responsibility."
But Cervelli didn't. Instead, the blast put the Red Sox ahead by three in the sixth inning, and they ended up winning, 4-2, at Yankee Stadium.
Cervelli started in place of Brian McCann, who had caught the last five games and was getting a breather before Saturday's afternoon game against Boston.
Cervelli said he would have set Sabathia straight after Ortiz's hit, had he known he was upset. Sabathia was mad Ortiz was able to get a check-swing single off a fastball way up and inside.
That rattled him, Sabathia said, and the next thing the big lefty knew, he was 3-0 to Mike Napoli, who then singled, moving Ortiz to second. And after the second slider Sabathia threw to Grady Sizemore, his old friend from when they played together in Cleveland, the Yankees were down too far to return.
"I've known him for a long time, so I know what I have to say," Cervelli said. "But next time it won't happen."
Sabathia was strong otherwise. He threw five scoreless innings before Jonny Gomes lead off the sixth with a homer. Sabathia gave up six hits, two walks and four total runs while striking out nine and throwing 111 pitches.
