In Dresden, Obama Does Not Disappoint … Germans
For his home audience in the United States, the focus of President Obama's brief visit to Germany was, undoubtedly, Buchenwald. But for Germans, it was all Dresden. As discussed in my earlier PJM report here, for Germans Dresden has become the symbol bar none of German suffering at the hands of the Allies and even of Allied "war crimes." Dresden was the target of heavy Allied bombing in February 1945 and much of the city was destroyed in the attacks. Neo-Nazis make an annual pilgrimage to the city to commemorate the event, the most famous episode in what they describe as a "bombing Holocaust." But the notion that the Allied raids constituted a "crime" against Germans and Germany is by no means the reserve of Nazis. It has, in the meanwhile, become part of the German mainstream.
In the run-up to Obama's Germany visit, the White House appeared to be at pains to downplay the significance of the stop of Dresden. Asked whether the president had chosen Dresden "just because it's close to Buchenwald," a presidential spokesman explained that the president's conversations with Chancellor Merkel had piqued his interest in the former East Germany and that he was "looking forward" to seeing "the major changes in the former East." But a simple look at the map reveals the disingenuousness of the attempts to explain the choice of Dresden as just a matter of "logistics" (as Time magazine put it). As a matter of fact, Dresden is not particularly close to Buchenwald. Buchenwald is located just on the outskirts of the Weimar of Goethe and Schiller fame. Several major Eastern German cities — including, for instance, Leipzig — are closer to it than Dresden.
Germans, in any case, knew better. Dresden is, as Angela Merkel put it in her joint press conference with Obama on Friday morning, a "highly symbolic city." And within this highly symbolic city, there is no more symbolic monument than the historic Frauenkirche or "Church of our Lady." The Frauenkirche was destroyed in the fires provoked by the Allied bombing and it was left in ruins for decades. The renovated church was first reopened to the public in 2005. The symbolic significance of Obama's visit to Dresden could hardly be made complete without a visit to the Frauenkirche. But as late as Friday morning, there were still doubts about whether Obama would go to the church. Seemingly cognizant of the controversy that his Dresden visit had sparked back home, the president and his handlers were reportedly resisting the entreaties of his German hosts.
A big screen had been set up in Dresden's Altmarkt or Old Town Square to watch the stages of the Obama visit. Reporting from the Altmarkt, Natalie Steger of Germany's ZDF public television noted that when Obama finally did cross the threshold of the church, the images set off "downright jubilation" among the assembled Dresden residents. "That was definitively the highlight," Steger added.

Good morning readers!
It is still morning here and hey, it is the first morning of Spring 2008! Yes! We have been enjoying mild Spring-like temperatures here in SC for weeks now and I am not complaining about that.
I've read several things this morning that I contemplated posting about and they are not even related in subject matter. What is the purpose, the theme of this blog? I have wrestled with this since I began blogging back in 2004. For awhile, my blog was hosted by a popular homeschool site and then another. Maybe, that was my primary focus back then. Lately it seems I never write about homeschooling.
Really, it's just about my life. My life is about me, myself as a woman, as an artist, as follower of Jesus. It includes my husband, my children and how we love, live and learn together. It is about politics and religion and the environment. It can be as mundane as laundry, sick kids and what's for dinner but as celebrated as a first grandchild, discovering myself or the first painting sold. My opinions are here, my questions are here, my tears and laughter are here. I am not on one particular soapbox and it all is evolving anyway. It would be ridiculous for me to choose one subject to put all my blogging energy into. Next year, next month, tomorrow may bring radical changes in those opinions and questions, in the cause of those tears and laughter.
I am honored at those who visit me regularly, who find something of value in the sharing of my life. Old friends, new friends, even family read here. My greatest desire is that I will be authentic here. Too much of my life has been lived behind masks. I want to be true to myself, for others.
This morning, while I can still call it morning, I must move on to the day. We have all been awake for awhile, some have gone to deliver food to the senior center, others have already made their breakfast, cleaned up and are outside enjoying the sunshine. I am in my favorite place, my studio. But the day calls.
Grace and Peace!

Twiddle's New Year's Concert Tour Kicks-Off at Magic Mountain
Geoff Hatheway, email@example.com
Londonderry, VT
- December 20th Show at Magic's Black Line Tavern -
Coming off its recent southern tour, the sounds of Twiddle will be back echoing in the Green Mountains on December 20th with the first stop on the Twiddle New Year's Eve Run 2013 at Magic Mountain's Black Line Tavern. The tour will then continue onto New Haven, Newry Maine, Providence, New York City, Northampton, and finally Saratoga Springs on December 31st.
Twiddle is a Vermont-based quartet delivering a fresh multi-genre approach that conjures up jazz, classical and bluegrass, but, above all, masterly blends reggae and funk. The December 20th show at Magic Mountain is a return engagement after last year's blow out concert there to kick off the ski season. Advanced tickets are now on sale for $10 at www.brattlebortix.com/events/twiddle-magic-mountain which will save concert goers some money over the door admission price of $13 and also insures admission to a concert that's bound to reach full venue capacity. Doors open at 8pm for the 21+ year old event.
"Guaranteed Twiddle will be in full 'face-melt' mode", said Geoff Hatheway, VP Marketing of Magic Mountain. "No better band to help us kick-off our ski season and send us dancing into the holidays."
For more information on the event, please visit www.magicmtn.com/eventscalendar.php as well as www.twiddlemusic.com
Magic Mountain Ski Area Magic is southern Vermont's only independently owned and operated mountain. Different than the corporate resorts, Magic has stayed true to the original Vermont ski culture. Magic skiers and riders enjoy a mountain emphasizing natural, diverse ski terrain in an atmosphere of shared camaraderie for the sport both on the slopes and in the lodge after a long, rewarding day. The Black Line Tavern serves as the communal social spot serving up great après ski food, drinks and entertainment. Magic has an authentic vibe because, in reality, it still remains first and foremost a ski area, not a "resort"—and a distinctly Vermont one at that. It's a community spirit that keeps Magic thriving for those committed ski and riding enthusiasts who want to "carve their own trail" and experience real snow and obstacles that mother-nature puts on the hill. And, it's why Magic skiers love the mountain so much that they have personally contributed to enhancing and preserving it for future generations to enjoy through the Magic Faithful Club.

Hey! My name is Danielle, Dani (want to change it to Elle) for short, I'm 19 and have been writing since I was twelve. Never give up on your writing keep trying. I've talked to a professional author and his top seller was rejected by editors 26 times, so even if 26 people don't like it someone does and that's what matters. So never give up on writing, your an artist in your own way. So a little about me, I love music, almost every kind music. (Litterally, I love Heavy Metal Five Finger Death Punch, to Crooner with Frank Sinatra, and Classical Bach) the only music I can't stand is Rap, only a few songs i can listen too. I'm a chocoholic. I love volley ball with a passion. I love the moon and night. And the heat of the sun. Never stop smiling, because it is actually healthy for you to be happy. Not a word of a lie. I won't tell you my hates, don't really have that many (exept Onions XP) That's me and I look forward to learning about you and read the wonderful work on Wattpad.

In a slightly strange "didn't they already have Xen in the kernel" kind of way, Novell has certified Suse Linux Enterprise Server as a "perfect guest" running on Citrix XenServer, allowing joint support of the combined solution. The deal is asymmetric (it wouldn't really make sense to run XenServer on SLES) but it reflects an open approach characteristic of the way Novell operates, in embracing the reality that customers will want to use one of a number of possible hypervisors, and that Novell has to get along with everyone. In return Novell is starting to push it's PlateSpin Recon product through the Citrix channel.

The Grid Approach to Desktop Virtualization
• • 0 Comments
The grid approach to desktop virtualization, offered by vendors like Kaviza and Synchron offers several advantages in terms of cost and flexible use of hardware resources. The cost savings come from not requiring a SAN. The implications of no SAN are no VMotion, no HA and no DRS. However Citrix XenApp has proven that user and application centralization can be effectively managed without these features.

Besides providing some great figures to support the adoption of Intel's Nehalem to drive high demand virtualized workloads, this is an interesting and important comparison document for those considering centralised desktop virtualisation.

Virsto Promises More than Linked Clones for Hyper-V

Aimed for those who use medium sized storage for virtualization loads, Virsto will add quite a bit of needed functionality to Hyper-V to reduce disk space requirements, improve general disk IO performance, as well as provide faster high availability failover. The disk space saving Linked Clone technology available for VMware ESX and ESXi has been missing from Hyper-V, Virsto provides this.

Rethinking vNetwork Security
• • 3 Comments
Brad Hedlund of Cisco asked the question, should the physical network security policy be different than the virtual network security policy? The answer is obviously no, but why are they treated separately? I and other have pushed the concept that to gain performance, redundancy, and security that you should use multiple network links to your virtualization host to separate traffic. However, does this really give you security?

Is a Partnership between VMware and Citrix Possible – or even Desirable?
• • 7 Comments
Let's start this analysis with a basic question. Is there any rational reason for VMware and Citrix to make peace with each other, and develop the desktop virtualization market in concert with one another instead of in competition with each other? In other words if Citrix were to add its value to the core pieces of VMware View, would this be a good thing or a bad thing?

This means that not only will the ESXi hypervisor superceed the classic ESX hypervisor in a new version of vSphere; what the time scale is, is currently unknown however it is most likely to be vSphere 5 or whatever they decide to call the next major release. What is more interesting in statement is that VMware expects their customers to upgrade their existing installations of vSphere based on the ESX hypervisor to the new ESXi hypervisor.

Backup Strategy – Continuous Backup Needed?
• • 0 Comments
I had an interesting conversation with Vizioncore yesterday about how backup is not as much a decision about what software to use but what process to use. In addition, this process needs to be considered from the very beginning of your virtualization architecture. With the quantity of virtual machines being used today by the SMB and Enterprise customers, the backup window has grown to nearly an all day event. What you say? An all day event? My backups happen with the window I set.

The moment Charlotte Phillips opened the porch door, a wave of blistering heat smacked her in the face, threatening to burn the precious powder right off her skin.
"Good lord, there's fire in the sky out here. Don't you agree, Shady?" She stared down at the stray bitch she'd taken in. The black mutt whined and lay back down on the porch planks, obviously set against joining Charlotte at the store. "Fine, I'll work the shop on my own today."
She set her bonnet straight and smoothed her dress, knowing full well the heat and dust would render the new yellow frock into nothing more than a dusty rag. But Mother always told her to look her best, no matter how stifling the heat or dirty the streets.
"You stay here and guard the house then," she told Shady. The mutt yawned and closed her eyes.
With a soft chuckle, Charlotte stepped down the footpath leading away from her home. Although the stray dog had the temperament of a lazy old man, Charlotte did enjoy her company.
The morning offered no refuge from the stifling mid-summer Sierra heat. Three months past, she'd left the refreshing air of northern Washington to help run her cousin's emporium in the growing town of Hatchet Creek in California. After her cousin died, Charlotte was left with a store and property she didn't want, but she was raised to see it to the end—no matter what it was, and she was determined to make a life for herself. Spirited women did not give up. Besides, Mother would tan her bottom if she went home with her tail between her legs.
The days were lonely and trying. Running a store and managing a home on the outskirts of town was hard work, especially for a single woman. She was alone in this mountain town. Alone and neglected like poor ol' Shady.
Directly across from Buford's Emporium on the main street was Barrett General store, her competition. Since the day Charlotte arrived, Elizabeth and Reggie Barrett had glared at her like she carried the plague. But she held her chin high, worked her fingers to the bone for the business while taking care of her cousin until she passed away.
If only I knew your intentions, Isabelle. I may not have come here. I could be carefree at home with people who love me.
The hot mountain breeze swept through the pine trees dotting the foothills. Charlotte lifted her face to the sky as she walked, taking in the scent of pine and wild lilac. The place was so beautiful and still largely untamed that it gave her a sense of pride to be a part of it. Though there were days when she wished she could be at home in Washington, the beauty of the mountains and wilderness here could not be described with adequate words.
The snap of a whip echoed in the distance, disrupting her train of thought. With her homestead located half a mile from the town center, she picked up her skirts and rushed down the beaten trail, her curious nature not wanting to miss any action.
As she turned onto the main street of Hatchet Creek, a town settled in a small rocky valley between the mountains, she squinted, trying to get a better view of the scene. Several more cracking sounds ricocheted off the buildings like the pounding of a hammer.
An ever-present cloud of dust swept through the air as the thriving scene before her teemed with people going about their morning errands. Carriages were loaded with supplies from the shops and several ladies were peeking through the window of the emporium, gazing at the objects Charlotte had on display. A couple of drunks brawled in front of The Bleeding Heart Saloon, though she saw no man abusing his horse as she'd first assumed.
Where is that sound coming from?
A group of men loading their wagon a short distance away paused, gazing toward something on the other side of them. Charlotte picked up her skirts and continued on with a little more hitch in her giddy-up. She had a feeling something dreadful was about to happen, knew it like she knew she wasn't welcome here.
Another crack of the whip snapped in the air.
"What's going on, Billy?"
Charlotte confronted Billy Wakeman, one of the young boys sweeping the boardwalk. The boy leaned on the pole-end of the broom, looked yonder and shrugged. "Don't know, ma'am. But I heard Mr. Barrett yellin' at some fella. Prob'ly some thief."
The whip cracked again and this time Charlotte heard the distinct sound of a painful wail. "Oh, my goodness. He's whipping a person!"
Without another word, she left Billy to his chores and headed to the scene.
She pushed her way through the large crowd now forming in the middle of the street. By the time she reached the circle, at least a dozen cracks of the whip had cracked violently through the air. Grumbles accompanied the horrific sound. Anxious faces filled her vision. Some people cheered Mr. Barrett on.
When Charlotte reached the opening of the circle, she gasped in outrage.
Speckles of blood and torn cloth were splayed across the dusty ground. In the middle, lying in a fetal position with his back sliced and bloody, lay Avery Samms, one of the few colored men in Hatchet Creek.
The cruel atmosphere swirled like a bad disease in the hot air. Rage burst inside her. How could they get excited over this? California was a free state, and yet, all these people stood around as if Mr. Barrett had a right to whip Avery.
"Isn't somebody going to stop him?" she cried.
"They say he raped Mrs. Barrett. I ain't stopping 'im," somebody answered. More people agreed, cheering Mr. Barrett on with new vigor.
"Get 'im good!" they shouted.
"Mr. Samms would never hurt anybody!" Horrified by the lack of compassion from the townsfolk, Charlotte stood there, stunned. She thought Avery was respected.
They could say whatever they wanted. It didn't mean he had done anything wrong. She knew Elizabeth Barrett's lying ways. Since moving to this town, Mr. Samms had been nothing but pleasant to her and to everyone else who was fair to him. He was also considered a maverick with a pistol, though little good that did him now. Elizabeth, on the other hand, was foul-mouthed, obnoxious, crude and downright loose.
Charlotte lunged forward without thinking and covered Mr. Samms's body with her own, just as the whip sliced through the air and cracked against her back. The tip curled around her side, biting into her flesh like a striking snake. She stifled a scream as a sting like she'd never felt before slithered fire across her body. Still, she refused to budge.
The crowd hushed.
Someone gasped. "Is she crazy?"
"Musta took leave of 'er bloomin' mind," another grumbled.
"Please," Charlotte pleaded, gazing up at Mr. Barrett whose brows were deeply furrowed, his arm holding the whip extended behind him. For a second, she thought he'd continue his brutal tirade whether she was there or not.
"All right, everybody back away."
A shot cracked in the air and most of the crowd parted. Sheriff Gallagher stepped into view. His shocked gaze landed on Charlotte then darted to Mr. Barrett. "What the hell are you doing, man?" The sheriff yanked the whip out of Barrett's hand.
Barrett spat on the ground by Mr. Samms's face. "This fuckin' nig—"
"Shut yer mouth, boy. No need for that kinda language in front of a lady. Now tell me what authority you have to whip this man."
"He tried to rape my wife."
Sheriff Gallagher gazed from Barrett to Charlotte and then finally Mr. Samms before he erupted in raspy laughter. Charlotte didn't know what to say so she remained right where she was. She didn't trust Mr. Barrett for a second. He had no liking to authority and could very well turn the tables on Sheriff Gallagher in spite.
Barrett clenched his jaw and his fists. "What's so funny?"
"We talkin' 'bout the same wife who got her belly fat with your neighbor's babe while you were out of town? I'd say Avery here was just givin' 'er what she wanted."
Barrett lunged at Gallagher, but the sheriff side-stepped. He whipped out his pistol from its holster with lightning speed and clobbered him on the back of the head. Barrett immediately lost consciousness and collapsed on the dusty ground.
Sheriff Gallagher crouched down beside Charlotte, laying a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "He got you good there, Missy. You all right? Dagnabbit, what you did was mindless. I'm gonna toss Barrett in the hoosegow for a few hours, teach him not to whip a lady."
Charlotte nodded, trying to hold back her tears. Nothing was ever gained from crying. "What about Mr. Samms? He deserves justice. Barrett can't get away with—"
"Now hold on a minute, Missy. I may have a liking for Avery since the fella works at my brother's ranch, but the town will start a war if I take his side. You know how it is with colored folk."
"You got that right," said one of the onlookers. "I say he got what was comin' to 'im."
"If I want your opinion, I'll ask for it. Go on now."
The man said something rude under his breath and stalked off.
Charlotte didn't understand how people could be so cruel, but thankfully Sheriff Gallagher had a good heart and mind.
"Mr. Samms here, he's a good man, fought in the Negro Cavalry and got himself one o' them medals." He looked around the street then back down at Avery. "He's strong and he'll get through this, too, I reckon."
Charlotte was about to ask how well Sheriff Gallagher knew him when Mr. Samms moved beneath her. A painful groan tumbled from his lips and he tried to roll onto his back. Charlotte used every bit of her strength to keep the big man from moving. The last thing he needed was to press his open wounds onto the dirty ground.
"He needs medical attention, Sheriff. Barrett's whip nearly sent him straight to the bone orchard."
"Doc is tending a family north of town." Sheriff Gallagher tugged off his well-worn Stetson and whacked it against his bent knee. He looked frustrated and tired. "Some bitch—pardon my language, ma'am. I don't know where to take him."
Charlotte stared down at Mr. Samms. She brushed her hand over his face, wiped the sand from his dark skin. His lids flickered and he gazed up at her with near-black eyes. She saw something in the dark depths of his gaze, something like pain and resentment.
Her musings didn't last long when his eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness.
"I'll take him to my home," she said suddenly, knowing if a person wanted something done right, they'd best do it themselves. Charlotte pushed herself up, wincing from the pain in her back and side, and swatted the dirt from her dress. "Please have Billy Wakeman and another boy haul him to my home. I will take care of him since nobody else in this town has a heart."
"You can't be serious, Miss Phillips. Why, yer a lone woman and unmarried. What would the town think?"
Charlotte planted her fists on her hips and glared at the sheriff. "What the town thinks is of no concern to me, not after what just happened here." But she knew he was right. An unmarried woman couldn't have a man staying in her house. "Besides, there's a room in the back of my barn where he can stay. Then he can't carry out what people may be thinking."
Sheriff Gallagher stood back up, nodding glumly. "That's mighty kind of you, ma'am. I'll help Billy carry him to yer place. It's the least I can do." He turned and yelled instructions to his deputies. When they grabbed Barrett and hauled him away, he woke from his stupor, and the look he gave her was nothing short of murderous.

A morally troubling film that falls short even on the base level on which it tries to work.
- July 22, 2011 |
What starts off as depicting what happens to a group of friends once kids enter the picture seriously goes downhill in a hurry.
- March 13, 2012 |
When I watched Nicole Kidman's Oscar-winning turn in The Hours back in 2002, I'd officially witnessed the most vacant, depressing and seemingly never-ending flick for which I ever shelled out eight bucks. Now, minus the money spent for admission, I've seen a movie that doesn't rank far behind.
- April 21, 2006 |
This isn't a musical that's as "hip" as "Grease" or as "cool" as the old beach party movies from the '60s but then again, this isn't your typical musical. This movie is really a perfect example of a new era of Hollywood capitalism and a brilliant marketing strategy.
- June 24, 2003 |
This animated coming-of-age story is aimed more at adolescents than young children, and packs a surprising, emotional wallop.
- April 08, 2013 |
A fascinating moment in history comes to life in Ron Howard's Frost/Nixon, an adaptation of Peter Morgan's stage play. Starring Frank Langella as Richard Nixon and Michael Sheen as interviewer David Frost, the film stands out as a retelling of a landmark TV interview.
- December 05, 2008 |
More than a timely drama about racial tension, but a spiritually potent story that portrays people looking toward a better life.
- July 19, 2013 |
Steven Soderbergh is known for his unique style and respected for his brilliant directing, but after seeing this film I had to ask myself, "What was he thinking?"
- June 24, 2002 |
With its scattershot approach, "Fun With Dick and Jane," Jim Carrey's latest comedy, yields uneven and disappointing results. Surprisingly unfunny at times, the film is, at its best, mildly amusing, but its own sense of moral righteousness comes across as mean-spirited.
- December 21, 2005 |
Funny People, the latest Judd Apatow shock comedy, doesn't have enough of a positive message to overcome its stream of bawdy stand-up comedy and profanity-laced script. Additionally, the film's excessive length only magnifies its negative elements.
- July 31, 2009 |
Consider yourself warned: Furry Vengeance is truly the worst movie I've screened this year. And trust me, I've already reviewed some doozies (Tooth Fairy, Cop Out and The Bounty Hunter, for starters).

For some reason, everyone likes to pick on Paula.
Maybe it's because she is a total glamour queen in a "less is more" era, but for some reason, Paula just can't get it right with fashion critics.
To me, Paula exonerates the kind of glamour-queen/exotic beauty that Sophia Loren generated in the 60's. She is always dressed to impress–heels, hair, makeup, bag and dress. Even though she is a dancer by trade, I can never recall seeing a rag-mag photo of her in sloppy sweats, or even jeans and a t-shirt for that matter.
Since the 1980's, Paula has been a style icon. For me, she wasn't just one of my favorite musical artists, but also a fashion idol. Hello did anyone look better in big bangs and an oversized satin jacket than Paula? I think not.
The truth is, I just think that everyone is jealous. Seriously, how many flash in the pan artists from the 80's are still in the public eye today? Tiffany who? Furthermore, she still looks great for transcending three decades of fans.
My opinion? Keep it up Paula. Sophia still looks good today, and I'm sure you will in your golden days too. Damn the critics!

D'Agostino addressing the legal implications caused by an altered release and an opinion by Senior District Judge Thomas J.

Ryno ColynGreat article! i really agree with you.
Andrew ParringtonCompletely agree as well - Content is exploding and keeping a handle on it is a challenge at the best of times -the amount of Digital assets we now have on our systems is great but if you don't manage it correctly it can get away with you. Managing your assets also saves huge time when looking for the right content.
James HurfordContent will become increasingly important in 2014 as consumers continue to tune out of traditional, intrusive marketing communications.
Greater departmental and company-wide support for content creation and dissemination, will mean investing in dedicated content officers.
Companies that don't assign content creation and dissemination to specific people or departments will lose out.

random Cow said...
This is what I smelled cooking here too. The 'helpful' person with 'some good ideas' in this case sounds more like someone making a passive aggressive power grab. In 4 + years of leading WoW raiding guilds, I have seen it many times.
I still have yet to figure out what it is these people think they are going to -have- once they get this perceived power. It really is much like the comment above that your reward is more pie. That, and a whole lot of responsibility, along with a lot of extra stuff to deal with. No sane person, knowing what the job entails, would actively seek it out.

Paterno held onto power way too long
Paterno held onto power way too long
Someone tell the Paternos there is a price for holding onto power too long. Tell their little adopted son Franco "Fredo" Harris, too. Tell Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett. And tell the Penn State board of trustees before it gets riled up and rejects the conclusions reached in the Freeh Report.
Joe Paterno played the game of thrones for 46 years. Only idiots and his namesakes thought he'd never lose. First power corrupts and then it evaporates. That's the way of the world for as long as we've recorded history.
You can't blame the Paternos for wanting their "good" name back. It was the American Express card they never left at home. It was bequeathed to them by Joe. It opened every conceivable door, from a recruit's home in the backwoods to the gates of the White House. To be born a Paterno or carry the name by marriage was better than being raised a Kennedy.
Paterno was a fable of biblical proportions.
Nope. You can't fault the Paternos for paying a bunch of lawyers a million dollars to refute the Freeh Report. You can't fault Sue and Jay Paterno for their media propaganda tour aimed at raising reasonable doubts about Joe's knowledge of Jerry Sandusky's depravity. But just because you can't find fault with their motives does not mean you have to grant them their demands. On Monday, my colleague Greg Couch pointed out the case against JoePa doesn't rise or fall on reasonable doubt. It hinges on common sense. Beyond the false dichotomy the Paternos set up is the fact that we don't owe them their good name because Joe earned it and passed when it expired. If they want to rebuild the Paterno name and make it anew, America provides them that opportunity in abundance. It is their sense of entitlement that makes them reluctant to deal with their new reality, a world in which the Paterno name closes some doors, opens others and forces them to wait in line with the rest of us at a few.
The Paternos are common folk and don't like it. Penn Staters can no longer flout the Paterno name as proof of their superior integrity and don't like it.
This is the price of holding onto power too long.
Joe Paterno should've surrendered his power at age 70, shortly before the police officially investigated Sandusky the first time. Paterno certainly should've stepped down at age 75, around the time Mike McQueary told Paterno he saw Sandusky naked with a child inside a Penn State locker-room shower.
- Arkansas State player plays dead on fake punt that goes terribly
- Injury updates: Picking up the pieces from bloody Sunday in Week 2
- Truth be toad, frog really gets this golfer hopping
- One foe from World Cup says he got better of Harden -- beard-wise
- Ref on Kaepernick language penalty: 'He knows what he said'
Yeah, that sounds like 20-20 hindsight. It is.
But here is what the Paternos want us to believe: Joe Paterno was too old, too feeble, too naive, too distracted, too saintly to know what to make of allegations that one of his longtime employees might have raped a child inside the Penn State locker room. The Paternos want us to believe the best Old Joe could do is kick the allegations upstairs to the bosses that feared him.
The argument they're making is Joe Paterno was no longer qualified for the job he held. He was an old king holding on to power for the benefit of others -- first and foremost his family. If he'd raised a son (Jay) competent enough to take the throne, he would've surrendered it. If he'd raised children with the kind of character extolled in the Paterno fable, they would've talked their father into retirement.
Instead. they held onto their power for 46 years. Their rule did not end until after their father (temporarily) passed Eddie Robinson on the all-time wins list.
Of the many things that bothered me about the Paterno biography written by Joe Posnanski, one stood out. Posnanski allegedly embedded himself inside State College and the Penn State football program for two years, but he somehow managed not to write a single word documenting what Paterno did with his last two football teams during practices and games. What and how Paterno instructed his coaches and players is a mystery.
There are three explanations: 1. Posnanski didn't see it because he wasn't granted access; 2. What Posnanski witnessed was too embarrassing to write for a hagiography; 3. Posnanski chose to leave it out because he had too much other good information.
If you read the book, you know No. 3 is not an option. The first two are both conceivable, quite likely and proof the Paternos began the fight for their "good" name long before JoePa was dethroned.
The Paterno biography relied heavily on the perspective of Guido D'Elia, a Paterno insider Posnanski described as a "Penn State marketing guru." Guido was Paterno's personal sports information director. Posnanski quoted him extensively throughout the "biography."
My belief is the Paternos (and Guido) knew exactly what the Sandusky investigation would mean to the Paterno name, and they found someone to write a book, a law firm to file a report and a producer to make a movie so that the Paterno name could be restored to its former glory.
In this Game of Thrones, Guido D'Elia is Littlefinger and he believes "gold wins wars, not soldiers."

(12/04/13) - A federal judge denied a motion to have a murder charge dropped in the killing of a 4-year-old boy. Anthony Bennett is the accused killer. Police say he murdered Carnel Chamberlain in June of 2012. U.S. District Court judge Thomas Ludington issued his written responses, Wednesday, to four motions Bennett's attorney filed, including the request to throw out the murder charge. It began as a search for a missing boy on the Saginaw Chippewa Indian Reservation in Isabella County, but 4-year-old Carnel Chamberlain's remains were found buried under his mother's home and the mother's boyfriend, Anthony Bennett, who was babysitting the little boy, was charged with killing Chamberlain. Its possible a cause of death will never be determined. Bennett was at first charged with assaulting the boy but then four months later, he was charged with murder and several other crimes. Bennett's attorney filed several motions in the case, including the dismissal of the murder charge, claiming it "is unconstitutionally vague" and that it violates Bennett's due process right "to adequate notice as to what constitutes the offense." In denying the motion, Judge Thomas Ludington writes that none of the arguments made by Bennett and his attorney support their claim that the murder charge is unconstitutionally vague. Bennett is in the federal prison at Milan as he awaits trial for the murder of Chamberlain. The trial is set to begin in January.

Clarence B. Jones is currently a visiting professor at the University of San Francisco and a scholar writer in residence at the Martin Luther King, Jr. Research & Education Institute, Stanford University, and Palo Alto, CA.
In a distinguished and heralded career, Jones has served as political advisor, counsel, and draft speechwriter for the Reverend Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.; joined Sanford I. Weill and Arthur Levitt, Jr. in Carter, Berlind & Weill, Inc. as an allied member of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE), becoming the first African-American partner in a Wall Street investment banking firm; been twice recognized as Fortune's Business Man of the Month; and founded successful financial, corporate, and media-related ventures. He has also provided strategic legal and financial consulting services to several governments around the world including those in the Bahamas, the Dominican Republic, Jamaica, and Zambia.
Dr. Jones has received numerous awards recognizing his significant contributions to American society. Through his work in the civil rights movement, he dramatically impacted the course of American history. He coordinated the legal defense of Dr. King and the other leaders of the Southern Christian Leadership Conference against the libel suits filed against them and The New York Times by the police commissioner and other city officials of Birmingham, AL. The Supreme Court ruling in this case – Sullivan vs. The New York Times – resulted in the landmark decision on the current law of libel. In April 1963, he drafted the settlement agreement between the City of Birmingham and Martin Luther King, Jr. to bring about the end of demonstrations and the desegregation of department stores and public accommodations. He assisted Dr. King in the drafting of his celebrated I Have a Dream speech that he delivered at the March on Washington, August 28th, 1963. In September 1971, Dr. Jones again found himself at the center of history in the making when, at the request of Governor Nelson A. Rockefeller, he helped negotiate an end to the historic Attica prison inmate rebellion.
Dr. Jones has been the subject of numerous television and radio interview programs, appearing through such notable media vehicles as CNN, The O'Reilly Factor, The Tavis Smiley Show, NY1's One-on-One with Budd Mishkin, NPR, BBC UK (radio and TV), CBS, Canadian Broadcasting, The Charlie Rose Show, and Syrius XM's The Bob Edwards Show. He has been featured in articles in The Washington Post, USA Today, Vanity Fair, Time, Ebony, and Jet, and in several publications in Canada, the UK, France, Ukraine, and Ireland. He appeared in The March, a documentary on the March on Washington, jointly produced by Robert Redford Productions/BBC/Smoking Dogs/PBS. He was recently filmed for a program on the Letter from the Birmingham Jail for Al Jazeera America.
A much requested speaker, Dr. Jones has addressed corporate audiences at Citigroup, the US headquarters of British Petroleum, GE, Morgan Stanley, Smith Barney, The Limited, and Google headquarters, as well as law firms including Sullivan &Cromwell and Andrews Kurth, Texas.
Dr. Jones has been recognized for his illustrious career with honors awarded by a wide variety of distinguished organizations. He has served on the prestigious boards of The Impact Repertory Theater & Dance Co., The Theatre Development Fund NYC, and the Franklin & Eleanor Roosevelt Institute in Hyde Park, NY.
He holds a bachelor of arts degree from Columbia College, a juris doctor degree from Boston University's School of Law, and a certificate from The New York Institute of Finance and the NASD for his allied membership in the NYSE. Additionally, he has an honorary doctorate in communications from Allegheny College, and honorary doctorates of humane letters from Drew University, Lincoln University, and the University of San Francisco.
Dr. Jones is the co-author of What Would Martin Say? and Behind the Dream—The Making of the Speech that Transformed a Nation. He also co-authored an e-book, Uprising: Understanding Attica, Revolution and the Incarceration State. Dr. Jones posts a regular column in the Huffington Post and is currently at work on his autobiography, A Pencil and A Dollar Bill- Memoirs From An African-American Journey From the Depression to The Election of Barack Obama as President of the United States.

MSCI Inc. (MSCI) said Tuesday China A-shares will be placed under review for a possible inclusion in its emerging market index.
Inclusion for China's A-Share market in the MSCI Emerging Markets Index would likely trigger more flows into this market and also increase China's overall weighting within the index.
The financial index provider, in its annual market-classification review Tuesday, highlighted regulatory changes that have helped open up the mainland A-share market, which are quoted in Chinese renminbi, to more foreign investors as positive developments.
"There's been regulatory momentum over the last 12 months regarding the accessibility of...this market by international investors," said Remy Briand, managing director and global head of MSCI index research, in a conference call.
For instance, the firm cited the relaxation of entry requirements for qualified foreign institution investors, or QFII, and speedier application and license-granting process for the QFII license, which allows foreign investors' funds to access China's A-share market.
Investors look to changes in MSCI indexes as they are largely followed benchmarks for both mutual and exchanged-traded funds. MSCI estimates that nearly $7 trillion is benchmarked to various MSCI indices on a worldwide basis. About $1.4 trillion is benchmarked to the MSCI Emerging Markets Index.
