TEAMS: Washington Nationals, Philadelphia Phillies
After hitting 21 and 17 home runs, respectively, over the past two seasons, Washington Nationals second baseman Danny Espinosa struggled mightily to begin 2013, and currently finds himself in Triple-A Syracuse. However, for the Nationals it actually solves a problem with what to do with their glut of infielders. Ryan Zimmerman has reclaimed his role at third base, while 23-year-old Anthony Rendon has slid over from third to second. On Wednesday night, Rendon continued to show why he was such a highly touted prospect, turning on a Cliff Lee fastball up in the strike zone and depositing it in the left field stands at Citizens Bank Park. However, for one Phillies fan, Rendon's great bat speed was his misfortune. As Rendon's line-drive homer exited the stadium, a fan tried to make the catch, misjudged the timing and the ball ended up smacking him square in the side of the face. Luckily, according to some Twitter sourcing, the man was promptly attended to, given some ice and was fine by ...

NEW YORK (AP) - A surgeon at renowned hospital Mount Sinai Medical Center has been relieved from his clinical and administrative duties after removing the wrong kidney from a patient suffering from kidney disease.
Hospital spokeswoman Dorie Klissas said Thursday the event should never have occurred.
Klissas says the wrong kidney was removed from a 76-year-old patient who was on dialysis with two failed and diseased kidneys. She says the second failed kidney was subsequently removed and the patient is doing well.
Klissas would not name the surgeon.
Klissas added the surgeon had treated the patient for bladder cancer in the past and that despite the error, the patients has "enormous faith in the doctor."
The hospital has apologized to the patient.

Versus, the network that currently airs Formula Drift coverage, was recently acquired by NBC Sports. Starting on January 2nd, 2012, Versus will officially become the NBC Sports Network.
The name change will start with the coverage of the NHL Winter Classic and NBC Sports will continue to market and brand on previous-Versus programming. As part of the Versus rebrand, the NBC Sports Group will also be updating its logo, making its peacock larger and using new fonts for the NBC Sports.
It will be interesting to see if Formula Drift will continue to air on the new NBC Sports Network, which could impress potential sponsors of the drift series more so than hearing that their television coverage comes from Versus – even though they're just the same.

Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Micheál Martin T.D., today (Tuesday 5th February 2007) announced in Shannon, Co Clare, that Zimmer Holdings Inc, a global leader in medical devices, is to establish a new manufacturing operations base at the Shannon Free Zone. The Irish operation, with an investment of up to €50m in the first two years, will focus on the manufacture of Zimmer branded knee and hip products, and is expected to create 250 new high quality jobs supported by Shannon Development over the next five years. Winning this prestigious investment is the result of a significant collaborative marketing campaign undertaken jointly by Shannon Development and IDA Ireland.
Zimmer, with corporate headquarters in Indiana USA, is a global market leader in knee and hip products. Zimmer is the worldwide No.1 orthopaedic leader in designing, developing, manufacturing and marketing reconstructive and spinal implants, trauma and related orthopaedic surgical products.
Making the announcement, Minister Martin said: "Zimmer's decision to establish at Shannon Free Zone adds significantly to Ireland's profile as a leading location for medical device companies in Europe. The Medical Technology industry is extremely important to Ireland. The industry comprising medical device and diagnostic companies employs 25,000 people in approx 130 companies with exports of almost €5.5 billion per year which is 8% of Ireland's exports."
"Zimmer is a tremendous win for Ireland and the Shannon region. The talent pool of both technical skills and key infrastructure which has resulted in previous investments by leading international medical device companies will be enhanced by the decision of Zimmer to locate in Shannon. It was secured as a result of the close co-operation between the two agencies both Shannon Development and IDA Ireland in the face of international competition. Zimmer can be confident of finding highly skilled professionals and infrastructure of international standards in this part of the country as more and more companies are discovering the benefits of locating in regional centres throughout Ireland", the Minister concluded.
"We are delighted to be adding a new location to our global network in Ireland" said Richard Stair, Senior Vice President, Global Operations & Logistics, Zimmer Holdings Inc. "We are constantly assessing our worldwide operations and logistics network to maximise efficiency and customer service, and this project is a result of that process. We are grateful for the co operation and encouragement of the national and local officials in Shannon and look forward to building a facility that utilises the tremendous skills and expertise of the workforce to produce high technology medical devices".
According to Stair, "The rationale for this expansion is to diversify our manufacturing network and reduce risk, take advantage of a lower tax jurisdiction and prepare our supply chain for additional future unit volumes. This will provide us greater flexibility in scaling our capacity for future demand and reversing the upward pressure on our effective tax rate over the long term".
Shannon Development's Chief Executive, Kevin Thompstone, said: "This is a fantastic boost for Shannon; it is one of the largest manufacturing investment projects to locate at the Shannon Free Zone in recent years. We are delighted that Zimmer have chosen Shannon. Their decision represents a further endorsement of the area's appeal as a leading manufacturing location for global technology companies".
Managed by Shannon Development, the Shannon Free Zone is one of Ireland's largest multi-sectoral business parks. The new positions created at Shannon Free Zone by today's announcement will be in the areas of management, quality, production, administration, logistics and maintenance and approximately one third will require a third level qualification.
Barry O'Leary, Chief Executive, IDA Ireland said: "Securing another leading name like Zimmer can only further the reputation of Ireland as a location for similar investments from companies of this calibre. As a result of the work of all the development agencies, Ireland is an internationally renowned location for orthopaedic medical devices. Today's news is also an endorsement of the 'Team Ireland' approach where the collaborative effort of state development agencies, local authorities and educational establishments will continue to result in winning new investments for Ireland and support the strategy for balanced regional development."

Who said it: Democratic Vice President Joe Biden or Republican Senator John McCain? (via life)
Democrat or Republic or Neither, I think we can all agree this quote is pretty awesome.
Sorry about that, it was a temporary bug. Should be fixed now (though the URL may have been slightly tweaked, not sure). Try this one:
Adrian Chen of Gawker writes that "tech news is so phenomenally boring". A story of mine, Facebook's iPad app being hidden inside of the iPhone app, is the prime example used.
Nevermind that Chen is complaining about tech news not really being "news" while writing a story that is even less "news" in the name of pageviews. We all do that sometimes.
Nevermind that Chen is writing his story for a site that routinely covers the private lives of tech individuals as "news".
What irks me here, though only ever so slightly, is that Chen is essentially telling people what they should find interesting. People are interested in Facebook and in the iPad. Should they not be because it's not as important as the potential collapse of the economy if the debt ceiling isn't raised?
Maybe people should stop having any interests.
Technology — including yes, Facebook and the iPad — is an ever-growing part of everyones' lives. Not surprisingly, many people like reading about it. They want to stay up to date on the latest happenings, no matter how trivial they may seem to others. I know that even if I hadn't written that story, I would have read the shit out of it. So sue me.
This was a legitimate tech story. It wasn't "Osama Bin Laden Dead Viagra Cialis Attorney Porn Fetish Gaga Bieber".
And it certainly wasn't tech news about tech news about tech news about tech news.
Update: A really important update.
John Quelch, former senior associate dean of Harvard Business School and now head of the China Europe International Business School in Shanghai, talking to the New York Times.
This is something that finally got some buzz this past quarter — Apple is killing it in China.
They did $3.8 billion in revenues from Greater China (including Hong Kong and Taiwan) last quarter. And that's with only four Apple Stores open in two cities, Beijing and Shanghai. In the coming year, they're going to open a ton more.
And those numbers are coming before Apple is on China's largest carrier, China Mobile.
When people look at Apple's already astronomical numbers and wonder how they can possibly go higher, this is how.
Currently, I'm following 205. I follow my timeline the most still, but try to hit all my followed tags (I follow 10 different ones right now) at least once a day. I love tags.
My site hosted by Tumblr has been down for something like 4 hours now. But Tumblr.com itself is fine. Hence, this note, which will show up in the stream. This is both annoying and weird.
But really, as Tumblr knows, if they want people to continue to use the service as their main hub on the web, you can't just be down every other week for hours at a time with a note that "We'll be back shortly".
Scaling is a bitch, but it's also everything. There are only so many chances you get to apologize.
Update: And after about 5 hours of downtime, I'm back.
I actually just surpassed 11,000 Tumblr followers (thanks all)! On Google+, I currently have around 41,500. On Twitter, I have just over 49,000.
I've never heard this before. I can't possibly believe it's true for one reason: I use my Air all the time in the air. Just last week, in fact.
Update: A number of you have written in to say that the Apple Store employee is likely talking about operating it at that altitude in a non-pressurized environment. In other words, you'll be fine in a commercial airplane.

|Peach-fronted Conure
The Peach-fronted Conure is one active, fun-packed little bird... and can be a great companion!
Latest Animal Stories
Ridewaan - 2005-01-18
I have a peach fronted and a green cheeked conure. The latter for 2 years. I have taught my green cheek (Kosie) to respond on request. His feather are fully grown and he flies around the house as he wishes. One day he flew out by the back door left open and returned back 15 minutes later. I was at work at the time and only found out about this 2 days later. Kosie likes Tea and Coffee. He talks a lot but his words are not very clear. I had many types of birds for many years and i think that the green cheeked conures are among the most intelligent birds.

I have owned many birds throughout the years but nothing quite like my "O". He loves to cuddle and give mommy kisses but heaven forbid i touch the back of his head LOL. All i have to say is peachfronts are remarkable little guys or gals and I would recommend one to any house hold.

My conure, also named Peaches (name give by previous companion), was bought in Eureka, CA. It was around 3 years old when bought in 2002. It demands attention in the mornings and can get very vocal. Other than that, it is a sweet and caressing bird. It nibbles at my neck, hair, lips, nose....well, all over my face. I ask it "gimme a kiss" and it leans over to kiss me while making a kissing noise simultaneously. Whenever it is fed, it says "thank you" several times and it loves its showers! It mimics a cats "meow" and makes chicken noises. Peaches has been a good addition to the family
P.S. Peaches has been having fits in the morning and afternoon and screams almost non-stop for a while. It screams continuously in intervals. Any suggestions or comments on what can be wrong or what i can do will be appreciated

I have a peach fronted conure named Fred. He was a pet shop bird that was extremely unhappy. A product of a divorce and a remarriage. the previous owner was given an ultimatum of "The bird goes or I go" Personally that woman would have been listed in the "free to good home" section of the paper the next day. Anyway Fred bit everyone that approached him. I was in the petshop and saw him, asked him if he wanted to come out and he promptly lifted his foot to come on my hand. I walked around the petshop with him, I was able to pet him, and snuggle him. The people that worked there was amazed. I visited him for several months at the store, thinking surely someone would buy this bird, but after two months the bird was still there, and starting to refuse to eat. Subsequently he became my mothers day present 3 yrs. ago from my husband. He is a wonderful little bird, very social, and now loves to be handled by everyone, of course I am still his favorite.:0) He can be loud, but when he goes banannas I just cover his cage for a little while and he quiets immediately. If it is a small parrot that interests you, the peach front conure is a mighty little parrot in small body. They are clowns, and love attention. They love a "happy hut" in their cage for night time sleeping. He always sleeps in his hut. Toys: They prefer the smaller toys, and are extremely messy with their drinking water. They dunk everything and water needs to be changed several times a day. I do not use a water bottle, but do have two seperate containers for water. One for dunking, one for drinking and he does use them that way. Be sure to change the dunking water often. They love to be misted several times a week with a spray bottle. The only drawback to these darling little birds is their voice when they scream. They are very loud, and extremely annoying. Many times I just take him out of the cage and hold him for a few minutes and that stops it. They are extremely interactive with people, and love the "people time" that they get out of the cage and with you. They live about 20 yrs. so be prepared for a long relationship. I would recommend them to anyone that is looking for a small parrot.

I resently bought a Peach Fronted Conure...still searching for the perfect name. Wonderful bird. Gentle, but gets devilish at times, easy to quite down. Just wants love and to cundle in my hair and loves to press its head into my head. Was hand fed, and content to sit on his activity perch most of the day and nap, eat. We put its large cage, full of toys in our family room, which provides lots of various noises and stimulation for the bird. I did not start out holding him...or her allot, but let it settle in and relax after being stressed coming home from the pet shop. It ate and slept, and I now only hold it two hours a day, and it is a gentle, content bird. We are building our trust in each other, and after a short period of time, I can now, quietly, pet the back of our bird with out it being nervious. Beautiful bird!!

This is a different kind of scandal in sports. There are victims.
Steroids have exposed cheaters and diminished statistical achievements. Drugs and alcohol have ruined careers and knocked heroes off of pedestals. Recruiting scandals and academic fraud have reaffirmed the lost mission of college athletics.
But predators who molest young athletes — they ruin lives and cripple souls. It's not about somebody trying to gain an advantage on the field or losing their moral compass. It's about never having the compass. It's being morally bankrupt. That makes this latest scandal to hit sports the scariest of them all.
What does it say when over 400 Penn State football players, rather than merely focusing on the 52 alleged counts of sexual abuse in the Jerry Sandusky child molestation case, seem more concerned about signing a letter in support of former coach Joe Paterno, who was fired amid perceptions that he did not do enough to stop his former assistant coach?
"Their loyalty has become delusional," former NFL fullback Heath Evans said. "Loyalty has crippled people's judgment."
Evans retired in August following a 10-year career, most recently with the New Orleans Saints (whom the Falcons play Monday night). He now runs the Heath Evans Foundation, which benefits victims and their families of child sexual abuse. Evans' wife, Beth Ann, was a victim of abuse when she was in the third grade.
The foundation now has over 100 in active counseling and has
seen a recent surge in people finally coming forward about past abuse, likely in part because of several high-profile stories, including Sandusky, former Syracuse basketball assistant Bernie Fine, former AAU president Bobby Dodd (no relation to the former Georgia Tech coach) and long-time Philadelphia sports columnist Bill Conlin.
Evans said victims were slow to start contacting his foundation when it started in 2006 because, "People don't want to talk about it. Ninety percent of the time victims know their predator, and they're discouraged from speaking up."
It's happening more now. Brace yourself. More stories likely are coming.
Two of the biggest college athletic programs in the nation – Penn State football and Syracuse basketball – have had major abuse scandals. Logic screams they are not alone.
"I think we'll see more," Evans said. "The good thing about what's going on now with this situation is we're turning garbage into gold. We're bringing predators to justice.
"It can't just be a coincidence that two big programs like this have had this come out. People are looking at this right now and trying to work up the courage to tell somebody about what happened to them. But some are thinking, 'Well, there's a statute of limitations [on legal charges] — nothing can happen to [the perpetrator]. The statute of limitations should never run out on sexual abuse. It stays with the victim. It's like emotional cancer."
Evans calls sexual abuse "an epidemic." One out of every four girls and one out of every six males are victim of sexual abuse before the age of 18. Many of those cases occur in youth sports.
A presentation on the "Physical and Sexual Abuse in Sport" in Canada in 1999, quoting the U.S. Olympic Committee's John Mair, said among those most at risk for abuse are young athletes "who take frequent trips or relocate frequently to be near coaches or authority figures."
The report referenced a 1995 report from the University of Winnipeg that revealed 21.8 percent of athletes surveyed said they had sexual intercourse with "authority figures." Of those athletes, 8.5 percent said it was forced, 20 percent said it happened when they were under 16.
Emotions fuel major college athletics. That causes some people to lose perspective. Evans said of the Sandusky/Penn State story, "The abuse and the cover-up didn't surprise me at all. Joe Paterno being in the middle of it surprised me because of what we knew about his reputation. But if he had any concerns or just an inkling of what the grand jury report said, he was wrong [for not doing more]."
When accusations of Fine's abuse of two former Syracuse ball boys came to light, coach Jim Boeheim initially accused the alleged victims of lying and extortion: "That's what this is about. Money." (Boeheim later backed off those comments.)
Evans' response, "Those comments were a slap in the face for all victims."
Chances are, we'll be hearing from more of them.

I'm still taking the "innocent until proven guilty" approach with these high profile cases, Schultzie, for the record. I do think it's concerning when so much of an avalanche has come down on both Fine and Sandusky without them having their day in court. Obviously, the nature of the crimes are incredibly sensitive, but there are rights we're granted as American citizens when it comes to trial by jury, and if they're guilty, I hope they're forced to share bunk beds at a maximum security facility for the rest of their lives.
I just want the court system to determine their guilt or innocence vs. the courts of public opinion.

Anyone who would for one second even consider Sandusky to be innocent is an absolute fool. Sure the law states "innocent until proven guilty" but the evidence is already so immense that there is NO WAY he is possibly innocent. Wake up people!! This man should never see daylight again
December 22nd, 2011

Runner, the only eyewitness in the Sandusky case [McQueary] has visibly changed his story several times. I believe he's guilty myself, but it's not our place to judge him. The courts will do so in time.

is it beyond the realms of possibility that someone could be falsely accused? I am not saying anyone of the examples are, but, there does seem to be guilty without the burden pro proof mindset here.
December 22nd, 2011
2:26 pm
Sure – Sandusky deserves his day in court. That doesn't mean that we as individuals should not look at the evidence and make reasonable judgements. There are more than 10 folks accusing Sandusky. McQueary has no clear motive to lie about what he saw. By Benjamin's logic we should all believe that OJ was innocent. Furthermore, Sandusky's lawyer impregnated a 17 year old when he was in his late 40's.
It's clear that many predators have used sports as a cover for their dispicable acts. The only way to prevent it from happening is for the public to be aware of some of the telltale signs. If nothing else, the Sandusky case is going to make people more careful about who has access to children that are not their own.

Sexual abuse and rape is worse than murder, especially when it happens to a child who has no idea in most cases that it's wrong and do what they're told to do by the abult abusing or raping them, no matter how feel.
With murder, the victim is blessedly free from their pain. Yes, they aren't here and those left behind may suffer, but the victim's suffering is over, and no matter what you believe about what or what doesn't happen to someone when they die, that is a small blessing indeed.
When someone is sexually abused or raped, their suffering can be inifinite. Their suffering will likely last the rest of their lives. And those closest to them will suffer as well.
When it happens to a child, that child is irrevocably damaged, many becoming abusers or rapists themselves.
For the person who thinks these guys are "innocent until proven guilty," well, I wonder if you would be so pius if they had done that to YOUR child. It's always funny, the "innocent until proven guilty," crowd… they have their heads so far up their own hindquarters that they don't comprehend the fact that "not guilty" is NOT the same as innocent.
Those foul monsters may be found "not guilty" in a court of law, but they are not innocent. Not by a country mile. They are vile and evil and THEY are the kinds of people who deserve the death penalty.
But people like Ruth Bader Ginsberg, who voted against Louisianna's law that made the rape of a child capitol punishment, they seem to think murder, but not the rape of a child, which leaves a living, suffering victim for the length of time that victim has left to walk the earth, is the only crime worthy of the death penalty.
I am a man who loves the Constitution, and I believe in due process. But these men aren't innocent. And the only thing I want to do is find them, grab them, find a tall oak tree and see them dangle from the tallest, strongest branch until they've taken their last, pitiful breath.
Unfortunately, for Fine and Sandusky, the most I can hope for is that they're accidentally introduced into GenPop in whatever prison in which they end up. A shiv to the kidney works just as good as hanging from a tree.
December 22nd, 2011

these stories make me so mad. how can anyone do such a thing. once these nasty pieces of $hit are found guilty i say put them in a courtyard with all the victims and the victims parents and let them have there justice. prison is too good for them.
December 22nd, 2011
2:51 pm
Agreed Schultzie. The SEC commits a few secondary violations and its protrayed as the "win at all cost" conference that completely disregards the true mission of collegiate athletics. Meanwhile, its the Big 10 and ACC schools that are committing major violations and thumbing their noses at the rules. Penn State was so concerned about its choir boy image that it refused to report child abuse and Joe Pa was a part of it. Disgraceful.
December 22nd, 2011

All of that "fire and brimstone" castigations have gotten us exactly where in the course of human history? Right, absolutely nowhere… Treat the illness, the symptoms are just the course of the disease! (And "treat" includes incarceration) You've let people run around and snarling all of that vitriol and cheap theatrics won't stop pedophiles. Only real attempts at putting safe guards in place, ending that silly "coach-savior" worship, and communities being held accountable for the failure to provide oversight and protection will be a starting point… There is no one true answer, just ongoing vigilance!

What if they are innocent of all charges?
December 22nd, 2011

Apparently Benjamin, they are guilty regardless. I am amazed at how many people would rather consider someone guilty rather than receiving their due process. They are obviously not considering how they would want to be treated if they were put in the same situation. Of only all of us had the morality of the internet police……
December 22nd, 2011
3:11 pm
@ Benjamin ,
Why do you think McQueary is the only witness in the Sandusky case?
Do you dismiss all the victims who have come forward and will testify in court against him? Do they not count? Are they non-people because he molested them?
December 22nd, 2011
3:22 pm
Non-people? No. Again, I think Sandusky's guilty myself, based on what I've seen.
But the court of public opinion is not [and cannot be] more powerful than the courts that protect ALL our rights, from Sandusky's alleged victims to Sandusky to you and me. Things like due process and innocence before proven guilt and the right to jury trials and defense are what separate us from third world countries that would run people out of town and burn them in the countryside over allegations.
Let the process play out and then make your assumptions of guilt or innocence. None of us were there, and I'd be willing to bet that none of us have ALL the disposables at our disposal when it comes to knowing all facts of the case.
If he's guilty, and proven so, I'll drive the paddywagon to the most maximum security facility we can place him and throw away the key.
December 22nd, 2011
3:26 pm
Do not know about the fine case. The only eyewitness is not McQueary. What about the 18-20 people who testified in court. If you are the vicitim I guess that makes means you are not an eyewitness? Wirh one or two you could always question motives but when you get over 10 people that say the same things happened you do not need much more proof to convict in court of public opinion. I think the death penalty should apply if the court finds Sandusky guilty based on the countless lives he has ruined.
December 22nd, 2011
3:26 pm
I wish folks would calm down and let the justice system go through the process.
Remember the kid that was falsely accused of the bombing at the Atlanta Olympics and the Duke Lacrosse case. The media was convinced they were guilty before the real facts came out and the charges against them were completely bogus. The woman who accused the Duke Lacrosse players turned out to be mentally unstable, had a long criminal record, and currently is in prison for murder. I believe McQueary is the only eyewitness and he has been all over the place with his statements.
December 22nd, 2011
3:30 pm
Benjamin: We have every right in the world to prejudge the case. To say that truth only comes out in Court is a misnomer insofar as a lot of credible evidence can be kept out due to the rules of evidence. Do you think OJ is innocent? I don't either. Furthermore, the question in a court proceeding is not "innocent" or "guilty", but rather, guilty beyond a reasonable doubt or not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. Not guilty beyond a reasonable doubt does not mean not guilty.
Furthermore, the presumption of innocence is merely a legal presumption that attaches at the outset of a criminal trial until it is overcome by evidence (it only applies to the jurors and the judge). This is the most misunderstood thing in the world. For criminal proceedings Sandusky is presumed innocent until proven guilty beyond a reasonable doubt, this in no way constrains you or me or anyone else from presuming his guilt, and the evidence of his guilt is staggering. The guy says he showers with young boys and is attracted to him in the interview where he was DEFENDING himself for Chrissakes.
December 22nd, 2011
3:31 pm
Felix: Not sure you can call Richard Jewell a "kid" and that was a knee-jerk reaction to terrorism, not a logical view of the evidence. Watch Sandusky's interview and tell me there is a chance in hell that he is not a pedophile.
December 22nd, 2011
3:32 pm
Man, Penn State PR is all over this blog, huh?
December 22nd, 2011
3:35 pm
@ Benjamin,
Has Sandusky been denied due process?
If he has, I don't see it. Hell, he's not even in jail right now. And he lives right across from a school.
As for Paterno, it doesn't matter whether or not Sandusky is guilty. What matters is that when he was confronted with evidence that a grown man was raping a little boy in a Penn State football shower, Paterno did the bare minimum. Sandusky doesn't have to be guilty for Paterno to do the right thing.
Instead, Paterno decided he didn't want to disturb anybody's weekend. I wonder if that 10 year old boy's weekend was disturbed?
December 22nd, 2011
3:35 pm
The Duke parallel is a good one to make here, Felix. 99% of the people who were polled on that deal after it happened believed those guys were guilty beyond the shadow of a doubt, and they dealt with death threats and everything else before even getting a chance to tell their own stories.
Nifong himself belongs in prison for going to the lengths he took to push that case forward even as his case was crumbling, especially seeing that he was doing it for self-promotional purposes. The only individuals whose lives were ruined were those boys, and what do you tell them after all that goes down? "I'm sorry."?
Also see Richard Jewell. Jewell really WAS a hero in 1996, and the thanks he got for his service were national shame and ignominy before getting a chance to tell his story. The stress from that took years off his life and made him an absolute societal pariah, and Eric Rudolph was hiding in the hills at the time, a free man.
We need to learn our lessons from those instances instead of running to the well every time an allegation comes out, no matter how founded or bulletproof it appears.

Paterno should've handled his side better, without question.
Sandusky hasn't been denied due process in the court sense, but there's a lot of ratcheted up anger against him – again, because of the nature of the crimes alleged, understandably so – without him being able to at least give his side of the story under the court of law. That's the difference.
We'll see how it plays out. Again, if he's proven guilty, lock him away for good. But don't presume guilt through media stories and Nancy Grace.
December 22nd, 2011

You are a fool. Castration indeed works, as it removes the desires that drive this kind of behavior. Grow a brain, dude.

Otherwise, we're chopping off hands under suspicion of theft in markets…

@ Benjamin
If there's one place Sandusky will get a fair trial, it's in State College. Those people are near-delusional in their support for the football program, Joe Paterno and, to some extent, Sandusky.
What those people fail to understand is that their blind loyalty is what made Penn State's secretive and corrupt culture possible in the first place. A little more skepticism would have served their school better.
If anyone needs to be worried about a tainted jury pool, it's the prosecution.
December 22nd, 2011

Sandusky will not be tried in State College, wxwax. I'd be willing to bet my future retirement savings on that.
December 22nd, 2011

No, silly idiot, but castration, plus incarceration, will surely slow a pediphile down. What an ass you are . . .
December 22nd, 2011
4:05 pm
is it beyond the realms of possibility that someone could be falsely accused?
Read up on the McMartin Pre-School case or the Duke Lacrosse team. It may be unlikely but it is possible. They get a trial and if convicted, then they deserve the severest of punishments.
These are troubling times we live in.
December 22nd, 2011
4:08 pm
Perhaps the letter says that Joe Paterno was a tremendous influence in their lives who molded them into men. Please remember it was Sandusky who committed the crimes, not Joe. Sandusky was a former employee when he was witnessed doing something in the showers with a boy in 2002, and Joe informed the appropriate people when told about it by the graduate assistant who witnessed it. Other than Sandusky, the person most deserving of criticism is the VP of PSU who seems to have covered up the incident.
December 22nd, 2011

Good article Jeff, I expect alot more to come out—just like with Eddie Long and Bishop Paulk, alot of kids and teens have grown up, married living a life and probably are embarrased to come out, for fear their wifes and friends would know. But in time, there will be more accusations and it will really surprise us who.

I don't see where anyone at Penn State really tried to stop Sandusky. Even Paterno. Sure it was reported, so we assume. Why was Sandusky still allowed back on campus and to use the facilities?? Why did the assistant coach not go to the authorities or confront Sandusky???? Seems like everyone turned a blind eye to the situation.
December 22nd, 2011
4:31 pm
Putting aside the items of due process and what not – regardless of whether these two people are guilty – I think that the core point of the Schulz's post is that this has shown a lot of light on a situation that has been around for years at the amateur level. Think what you will about guilt of these individual people and situations, the University of Winnipeg study is damning: over 20% of youth's ADMIT that they have had improper sexual conduct with an authority figure?! Regardless of the guilt or not of these two individuals/institutions's, it's shined a light on the prevalence of the problem in our country and I do hope it inspires more people to come forward to get the help & justice they need.
December 22nd, 2011
4:37 pm
From what I have read and learned about these various cases it looks pretty air tight for the prosecution, i.e. they are probably as guilty as everyone seems to think. But it is still America. Let the legal system do it's job. There is too much vitriol being spouted on vents like this and in the news. I think Joe Pa is an arrogant a$$hat and didn't like him prior to this situation, but honestly none of us really know what we would have done given the exact same circumstances.

jeff when are you going to get it right? stop the abuse of coach paterno. didnt your mom said two wrongs dont make a right? thats with the wrongs-1-sandusky, 2-blaming paterno for something he commit.
blame espn fool, they are the media outlet who went on a tirade about how the coach, who i will go on the record and say, did everything the policy handbook, the ethics code, and the commonwealth law of penn says. this media outlet created the havoc toward paterno. the 400 players were defending a victim. get that through your skull man. joepa is innocent, and should sue every media outlet for harassment(see Richard Jewel vs. national broadcast company). the fact that 3 weeks after the penn st story, espn runs a story about bernie fine. and airs tapes they said they had since 2003. cmon, there is the culprit right there, the friggining media!
why is this happening? its happening because when charges like these come up, prosecutors are skeptical they have enough proof, the kids are too young and wont hold up against questioning. so, there you have it, the real reason why many wont go after pedophiles: evidence in getting the conviction. sheer proof. when you go after someone with those types of accusations, the burden of proof in the bottomline.
if someone said, you committed a crime. your employer would have to give you the benefit of doubt. but since you are a public figure, you dont get that much lee way. please, please get it right about coach joe pa. he even admitted he wished he would do more. but he do what he supposed to do. arent cops, lawyers, columnists paid to do what they are supposed to do? coach is a coach, when there is a problem, indentify it, and report it to the superiors!
dang man, please learn the context i have presented to you, because you are wrong 100% RIGHT HERE.
IN FACT. GO LOOK AT GEORGIA HB 571. sonny signed that bill last year, that allows convicted sex offenders to have their name removed from the state list, and basically give them a pass. look it up, i have proof, evidence in one case where a sex offender is back on facebook because of this new law. go after the sponsors, those are the sick ones who sympathize for these offenders.

Oh. My. God. I just made these for the first time. I was looking for something as a quick breakfast substitute to eat in the car on the way to work. I doubled the recipe, took away the confectionary sugar, added flaxseed meal, muesli, chia seeds, a little extra honey since I was adding more dry ingredients and pressed them into a cookie sheet to make them into bars. I'm not a crazy peanut butter lover, I like it, but I'm not obsessed with it and even though it's the prominent taste I absolutely love these. Can't wait until the morning to have my first breakfast bar.

A Pillow Update So Easy, You Can Do It Yourself
New pillows are an easy update for your home for spring. Easy on the pocketbook? Not so much. But, with a couple of yards of fabric (buy it by the pound here), you can cover your old pillows yourself. No snaps, no zippers, just a few straight lines. The secret?
An envelope closure! Not only is it easy to do, it looks professional too. For a full tutorial, visit Tiny Decor.
13 Comments
That Tiny Decor link is infected with a Trojan virus. My computer refused to let it load to protect it.
Me, too.
Me, three
Knife edge pillows don't look nearly as good as piped ones.
I was able to sew envelope pillow covers without even owning a sewing machine - and they look so good!
(I'm not skilled enough for piping, but maybe someday...)
The same here. I cannot access the site. It is infected
i love the semi circle pillow in this pic....the perfect little reading nook for sure....
Virus city for me too :-( I have two pillows that need updating!
I have been in love with Josh and Summer's home since I first laid eyes on it.
Piped pillows may look better, but they are hugely more difficult to sew, and pretty much impossible without a sewing machine. So leaving off the piping is a deal-breaker??
I'm not even attempting the link with all the virus comments, but I've made dozens of toss pillows, and the envelope type are easy.
Measure the form or old pillow you want to cover by wrapping the measuring tape around it, or just wrap the fabric you want to use directly. Cut a piece of fabric that will fit all the way around the pillow and overlap onto itself by one pillow length. (About three times the top surface length of the pillow.) This piece of fabric should be about 2-3 inches wider than the width of the pillow, especially if sewing by hand. If there is a design on the fabric that you want to feature on the front of the pillow, center it on the strip before you cut.
Fold over both ends of the strip by about an inch and press, with the finished side out. Then either use iron-on tape under these "flaps" to secure them or fold again and sew the flaps down by hand or machine. (Or, I guess, you could use a fabric glue, too.)
Then with the good side of the fabric on the inside, wrap the pillow, centering the featured design (or the center of the strip) on the top of the pillow. On the other side, fold one end of the strip down over the other, slightly snugly. Pin along the side seams as snugly as you like but being careful to not pin the pillow itself. (I'd use safety pins to make the next step easier.)
Remove the pillow (you need to kind of squash it to do so) and sew along the pins -- two straight seams. Trim any excess fabric to about a half inch, or just leave it. Press if desired.Turn the pillow cover right-side out and reinsert the pillow.
Forget the piping. For someone who have never sewn in his life, (me!!!) Sewing my own pillows (by hand) was a rather simple task, you just need, patience, some very little bit of research, imagination and fabric you really love. And I'm talking 2 18" pillows. That was like 2 years ago and i'm about to do it all over again.
Throws are a really cool project too. Basically the same thing: awesome fabric (think front and back combinations of velvets, silk, suede, the sky is the limit), a machine (they are way bigger, you'll need a year to finish sewing by hand), and no filling!!
Re: Welted vs. Knife Edge--
There's a happy DIY-Friendly medium that I like - It's a flanged edge.
Why not just learn how to sew?

Theresa Labarbera Whites, Senior VP of A&R for Columbia Records, has announced that "Glee" star Naya Rivera, who broke out this season as her character, Santana, struggled with her sexuality, is the latest Gleek to score a solo record deal. In an update with Billboard Magazine, Whites confirmed that she's spending her summer working on several projects, including Rivera's solo effort, a project from the reunited Dixie Chicks, and the upcoming Beyonce album, 4. This will be 24-year-old Rivera's first record, though she has been working since 1991, and she took up songwriting at age 15.
Hi. :)
Anything and everything. :)
Nope, not at the Sacramento show. I could tell because there were a couple times she did not hold the mic close enough to her mouth so she would go in and out when she was singing.
Heather and Naya drew hearts, in the air, to each other.
Naya slapped Heather's ass.
During STL Lea put her hand on Lady D's shoulder. Lady D held Lea's hand on her shoulder.
I'm looking for other people to follow.

Overall Experience
Background Noise
17 septiembre 2014
Overall experience was very good, if I had one issue it is that the rooms are not completely sound proof.
17 septiembre 2014
Courteous welcome and helpful with my airline reservations.
As I had an early flight had to take shuttle bus; which was a late suggest hotel has courtesy service if there are several people wishing to leave at same time; there were a number for same flight!
As I was only there for a few hours found the room rate a bit extravagant even for a full night stay.
Pleasant Stay
16 septiembre 2014
Short but pleasant stay at this airport hotel. The location is perfect for a layover and the adjoinning "mall" facilities make the stay a very comfortable one.
An Oasis at the airport
16 septiembre 2014
I have recently used the Crowne Plaza Hotel Changi Airport (again) for a stopover when travelling through Singapore for business. The hotel combines efficiency and style with a welcome and warmth that is perfect for a brief unwind. The proximity to the airport and the connections to the city centre mean that a short stopover can accommodate relaxation, work and leisure most effectively.

Three months until Kentucky voters decide who will succeed Jim Bunning in the U.S. Senate, first time candidate Rand Paul still has the edge. That's according to a new WHAS11/Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll.
Paul 51%
Conway 43%
Undecided 5%
If the election were held today, this poll says Republican Rand Paul would defeat Democrat Jack Conway by eight points. Conway says he does not believe the numbers.
"They do not comport with what we have," Conway said, "We've got a poll taken a few weeks ago that had the race literally a dead heat."
"I would say an eight point lead in Kentucky for a Republican is a pretty good lead," Paul said, "We're pretty excited about it."
"We think that the Kentucky voters are concerned like I am about the debt, about overspending, about the federal government and that we really can't borrow our way into prosperity," Paul continued.
Conway contends that the WHAS11/Courier-Journal Bluegrass Poll is an "outlier" and that the poll also "never had me ahead in a race that I won in the Spring."
"What's at stake in this election is the difference between a U.S. Senator who holds people accountable, who holds Wall Street accountable, who holds Washington accountable and someone whose ideology quite frankly in my opinion is too risky for the Commonwealth of Kentucky at this time," Conway said.
While Conway calls Paul "risky," Republican primary rival Trey Grayson said Paul had "crazy" ideas. But the primary didn't bruise Paul. Republicans back him 85 percent to 11 percent.
Republican voters:
Paul 85%
Conway 11%
Undecided 3%
The wounds of Conway's Democratic primary battle with Daniel Mongiardo are taking longer to heal. Mongiardo has yet to endorse Conway. Factor in Democrats who routinely cross the party line and Conway has only 69 percent support of his fellow Democrats. 25 percent of Democrats support Paul.
Democratic voters:
Paul 25%
Conway 69%
Undecided 5%
And by a 3-2 ratio, independents are backing the Republican.
Independent voters:
Paul 54%
Conway 36%
Undecided 10%
"I think that conservative Democrats and independents are the key to the race," Paul said, "but I think they're also concerned like many of us are about the debt and about overspending. So I think they do come our way."
"I think they also want someone like myself who's an outsider. Who's not a politician," Paul continued, "(I've) never run for office before, never held office. I think people are looking for a new perspective, someone who would go to Washington and fix the mess."
Hammering what appears to be a message people want to hear, Paul has become the voice and face of the Tea Party movement. Kentucky voters with a favorable view of the Tea Party favor Paul nearly 9 to 1.
"I'm not turned off by the Tea Party," countered Conway, "I think the Tea Party is expressing on behalf of a lot of people that they are very concerned about spending, and i understand that. I'm a fiscally responsible Democrat."
Conway says Paul is full of Tea Party platitudes -- but that he, Conway, offers specifics that address Tea Party concerns.
"It's a lot more concrete than just saying you're going to balance the budget next year," Conway said, "So, the Tea Party is expressing concerns about spending. I understand that spending. I plan to attack that problem in a responsible way when I'm elected to the United States Senate."
What Conway insiders are stressing is what they learned in the Democratic primary -- that it's less about where they are three months from election day -- but where they're headed. They say Paul had a 20 point advantage in name identification to start the general election campaign and the race is now within the margin of error. Conway contends that the more voters hear about Paul, the less they support him.
What Republican strategists say is that Paul is in the catbird seat because he is on the right side of the issues in a political climate that is very adverse for the Democratic agenda. They say as long as Paul stays on the message of less government and spending, this is his race to lose.
An analysis of the numbers by the pollster, Survey USA, suggests that "Conway may have made up some ground in Western Kentucky, but lost some ground in Eastern Kentucky."
Eastern Kentucky voters:
Paul 47%
Conway 48%
Undecided 4%
Western Kentucky voters:
Paul 51%
Conway 43%
Undecided 6%
Paul claims a narrow lead, 50 percent to 45 percent in Conway's home region, in Louisville and 14 surrounding counties. The only region Conway leads is in Eastern Kentucky, where the race is a virtual dead heat with Conway at 48 percent and Paul at 47 percent.
Louisville Region voters:
Paul 50%
Conway 45%
Undecided 5%
North Central KY voters
Paul 54%
Conway 41%
Undecided 5%
Though the senate race is unusual in the amount of national attention it has received, largely due to Paul's prominence in accepting the mantle as a Tea Party leader, both campaigns have adopted a common strategy of moving to the center for the general election.
Though Democrats hold a 2-1 lead in party registration in Kentucky, voters in federal races have backed Republican candidates in recent years, with both of Kentucky's U.S. Senators and four of six House Representatives, Republican.
For Conway - who was identified as the more liberal candidate in the Democratic primary - it means stressing more conservative themes and positions. At a candidate forum before the Kentucky Farm Bureau Board in mid-July, Conway insisted he is against "Cap and Trade" legislation, lashed out at the U.S. government for abrogating its responsibility on immigration, favors extending Bush administration tax cuts, and said there is "not much daylight" between he and Paul on free trade.
For Paul, it means both embracing the Republican establishment that he challenged in the primary, and backing off what might be considered some extreme positions, particularly the existence of a number of federal agencies and programs. In rural Kentucky, Paul's criticism of Agriculture Department subsidies is considered a political liability. What remains to be seen is if voters perceive Paul as ideologically rigid or appreciate his consistency on positions that are politically dangerous.
Paul will work to stress the positions that he says are the core of his campaign.
"I think they are very mainstream," Paul said, "A balanced budget amendment. In Kentucky we have to balance our budget by law. I think it should be that way in Washington too. I think we should have term limits. They all go and stay too long."
Both candidates have been relatively out of the public eye for the last couple of months. Saturday, August 7 is the Fancy Farm picnic in Graves County, Kentucky, the traditional start of the campaign season.

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The owner of a former Jefferson City sporting goods store that was damaged by fire is charged with second-degree arson.
The Jefferson City Fire Department says 52-year-old Kurt Steidley, who owned Everhart's Sporting Goods, was arrested Monday in Warrensburg on an indictment from Cole County.
The fire occurred on Jan. 1, 2011, about one week after the store went out of business.
Steidley hung up on a phone call Monday from The Associated Press after saying that he could not talk. The fire department said Steidley was released by Warrensburg police after posting a $25,000 bond.

Re: Being The Booker
Thanks for the review PatMan, it's greatly appreciated as always. I'm sure there will be more to come, *hopefully*, but for now, I'll just answer a couple of queries, and let anyone interested know the schedule in this thread for the next little while...
First off, I'm useless with using multi quotes, so I'll just answer the queries instead
- For now, I'm just going to keep the Little Bastard as the Little Bastard. At some point though, I might start to refer to him as Hornswoggle. Personally though, I always kinda preferred the Little Bastard.
- Bare with me on the Angle situation. It probably looks like he's just getting jobbed out of the company, but the angle (no pun) is heading somewhere, eventually.
- TBH, I'm going out on a limb here, and possibly giving something away, but the push of Garrison Cade is probably over, at least in terms of feuding with main eventers for now. I just didnt get what I wanted out of his push, so it's over for now.
- I'm sure you'll not be the only one to question Mark Henry lasting longer than Benjamin against The Game. Reason for that though is down to Shelton wearing The Game out, which led to Henry being able to dominate for a long period. And also, yes, my Triple H - McMahon angle will be very different to real life. It might'nt seem that way immediately, but again, bear with me
- Yeah, that was my mistake, should've been Foleys name and not Lawler. I'll get to editing that in a little minute
- Hopefully, I will make the whole Foley angle clear, but I must warn you, it's a bit of a weird angle, probably the most 'out there' I've done, but I think it should end up with a thumbs up. Expect a couple of twists along the way, and again, bear with me :P
- Yep, as embarrassing as it is for me to admit, Chris Jericho WAS World Champion in this thread in 2004. I really feel silly about forgetting that, so, looks like I've got more editing to do, lol. At a stretch I could always just say he's referencing to holding the actual WWE Championship, if I'm trying to look less stupid
. Thanks for pointing that out though - impressive memory.
- From here, yes, the period between SummerSlam and Armageddon will be recapped, much like NatureBoy and FD recapped their threads. However, this wont be happening until mid-April, and the recaps should run through to mid-May, and then in June, I'll do the full (well, SD will be recapped I'm afraid) build up to Royal Rumble, and the Rumble PPV itself, before starting the Road to WM later in the year.
I'll probably go missing for a week or two shortly to try and get things written up, but I will be back
As for posting the roster, I'd rather wait until the recaps are done and dusted, because there are still a couple of changes etc to come, and I've got the roster set out a little differently with a little backstory into each superstar from 04-06. But yes, the roster will eventually be posted.
I'll answer any more questions in a few days / a week, according to how many reviews there are, if any
Thanks Patman, hope I've answered anything you needed for now

The institute's website offers publications for free download. In 2006 the regular talks began to be recorded and made available on the website.[1]
The Lowy Institute for International Policy launched a blog 'The Interpreter' in November 2007. According to former Executive Director Allan Gyngell: "it aims to provide you with fresh insights into international events and a new way to engage with the Institute."
Board of directors[edit]
The institute's board comprises several notable Australian policy makers and business people.[2]

Lowy Poll[edit]
The annual Lowy Poll surveys a nationally representative sample of the adult Australian population on foreign policy issues and is the Lowy Institute's flagship publication. It is wholly funded by the Lowy Institute and its results are widely cited in the Australian and international media. The Lowy Institute has also conducted opinion polling in Indonesia, New Zealand and China. The first Lowy Poll was in 2005.
New Voices[edit]
Each year, the Lowy Institute hosts a seminar with a specific theme relevant to international policy, which is attended by early-career professionals, who have the potential for extensive careers in public policy.

The Lowy Institute requested the government to reverse their position on the ban on Australia-India uranium deal causing many commentators to question the power of lobbyists that ignores the public debate, including Lowy Institute's lobbying.[4][5] Lowy Institute strongly responded that they have an open debate and re-stated their non-partisan position.[6][7] Lowy Institute's rebuttal was questioned, pointing out baseless responses and having potential conflicts of interests.[8][9]
The format of The 2011 Lowy Institute Poll [10] was considered inadequate for formulating Australian policy compared to studies undertaken by CSIRO, Ipsos-Eureka, Cardiff University, Stanford University, and Yale University.[11] Telephones were considered difficult in allowing respondents to think about questions and has double barrelled questions.
