University of Northern Colorado theater professor Tom McNally offered a pained reaction to last week's four-year prison sentence for colleague Vance Fulkerson on charges of sexual misconduct with students. McNally has worked with Fulkerson dating back to the now shuttered Loretto Heights College in Denver in the 1970s.
Here are comments:
"My only real feeling about it is that it really is a tragedy. I mean, it's the definition of tragedy – the fall of somebody from a very, very high spot.

Females are strong as hell, and they don't come much stronger than Kimmy Schmidt (Ellie Kemper). The new trailer for Netflix's "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" proves just that.
After spending 15 years captive in an underground cult, Kimmy got reacquainted with the real world last season. She got a job with Jacqueline (Jane Krakowski) and moved in with Titus (Tituss Burgess). She started taking GED classes and dating and even learned how to take a selfie. Now she's starting therapy and getting a new job at the Christmas Tree Store, aka her heaven. Peep the new season two trailer above.
These are the best lines, easily accessible for you to tweet them:
U.S. & World
"What's the hardest thing in the world for a trophy wife to do? Lose the jerk, but keep the perks. Trademark me." - Jacqueline.
Titus: "Kimbecile, what do I always say?" Kimmy: "Don't touch my dolls, they're strictly look upons." Titus: "Not that." Kimmy: "John Cusack got fat, but I still would." Titus: "No! Get the digits. The digits!"
Kimmy: "You are Mr. Sassafras Jeans today." Titus: "That's a dumb name for how fierce I'm being."
"Did I just watch you do drugs with a junkyard Elmo?" - Kimmy.
"Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt" season two drops on Netflix on Friday, April 15. Don't fret, season three is already in the works.

It's probably the best job in the world.
I'm an English composer and music producer, working in London. My music can be heard in television shows; commercials; live tours; records; trailers and films. Some recent work includes music for television shows such as Friday Night Lights, Dancing On Ice, American Idol and The Voice; commercials for Waitrose, Samsung and Lexus; and live events and concerts for major recording artists.
In addition to writing my own music, I also work with other talented composers to help bring their musical vision to life, usually through orchestral mockups or additional arrangements and orchestration. I've recently worked on feature films such as "Les Misérables", "Heart Of The Sea", "The Right Kind of Wrong" and "The Chronicles of Narnia", and on live shows and events, including George Michael, Katherine Jenkins and the 2012 Olympics Closing Ceremony.
StaffPad is a revolutionary music notation app for Windows 8.1, Surface and compatible devices.
StaffPad uses ground-breaking handwriting recognition to allow composers to work naturally, as if they were writing on paper. Simply write music using the digital pen, straight onto the screen, and StaffPad will convert the notation into beautiful sheet music. Powerful, full orchestral playback and advanced notation features ensure that StaffPad is perfect for pros, yet intuitive enough for everyone else.
StaffPad redefines music notation. I've been working with my business and development partner, Matthew Tesch, on this project for over 3 years. I feel it's hugely important to take that next leap, and evolve the process of writing music notation to make it more relevant to today's composer.

SACRAMENTO, Calif. – The Sacramento State women's basketball team (2-0) will play its first road games of the season this weekend with challenging matchups against Pac-12 squads Oregon State (2-0) at 11:30 a.m. Friday and Oregon (2-0) at 2 p.m. Sunday.
Both games will have a live radio broadcast starting 10 minutes prior to tip time on HornetSports.com/Radio with Andrew Tomsky providing the play-by-play. Fans can also access video and live stat links on the women's basketball schedule page on hornetsports.com.
Through two games Sacramento State leads the Big Sky in points (92.5/game), 3-pointers (35), 3-point pct (.385), assists (25.5/game), steals (42), and offensive rebounds (19/game). The Hornets have broken the single game school record for 3-pointers in consecutive games and now hold Big Sky game records in 3-point makes (18) and attempts (49).
Sacramento State plays at Oregon State for the second consecutive season after an overtime win in Corvallis last season in which senior guard Se'Nyce Parrish scored 39 points. Oregon broke the PAC-12 record with 131 points in its season opener and is averaging 122.0 points per game through two contests with a +33.5 scoring margin.
For more on the matchups see below and complete game notes at the above link.
Dazzling Debut
Sacramento State's first week of play under new head coach Bunky Harkleroad was a sight to behold. The Hornets averaged 92.5 points per game, 11.5 points more than their opponents averaged. Sacramento State was +12 in turnover margin, forcing 61 turnovers with 42 steals and frustrating their opposition on both ends of the floor. Cal State Northridge and San Diego State were both picked to finish third in their respective conferences but Sacramento State dominated play against the Matadors and used a brilliant first half to outlast the Aztecs.
Downtown Living
Historic three-point shooting has been the main catalyst to the Hornets early success. The squad twice broke the single-game program record in 3-point makes, hitting 17 threes against Cal State Northridge and 18 threes against San Diego State. Sacramento State shot 38.5% from three-point range and had nine different players make at last one three, including six with multiple three-point makes. The Hornets broke the Big Sky record with 18 3-point makes and 49 3-point attempts against San Diego State, making twelve 3-point shots in the first half. Individually, freshman Hallie Gennett and senior Alle Moreno each hit nine 3-pointers to lead the onslaught from long range.
All-Time Great
Senior guard Alle Moreno became Sacramento State's all-time leading 3-point shooter on Sunday when she hit her fourth of six 3-point makes against San Diego State. Moreno surpassed the previous career 3-point record of 176 set by former Hornet Kim Sheehy, who concluded her collegiate career in 2007, while she had already established a new record for career 3-point attempts during her junior year. Moreno has had the two most prolific 3-point single season totals in program history, knocking down 78 threes in 2011-12 and 77 threes last season. With 180 career 3-pointers to date Moreno ranks 19th in Big Sky history but is just 15 three-point makes away from cracking the top-10 on the all-time conference list.
Eye Popping Numbers
Several Hornets recorded big individual numbers over the two season-opening games. On Friday Gennett was the biggest star as the forward started her career 8-for-8 from 3-point range and finished with 26 points. Additionally, redshirt freshman Margaret Huntington grabbed 11 rebounds and senior Fantasia Hilliard had 11 assists against the Matadors. Moreno led the way with 23 points while making 6-of-9 three-point attempts against San Diego State while freshman Gigi Hascheff made four 3-pointers and had team-highs of eight rebounds and eight assists.
Depth Apparent
Sacramento State's starters tallied 101 points through two games while the bench scored 84, and nobody played more than 28 minutes in either game. Three of the Hornets top-five scorers so far have come off the bench in both games, including second-leading scorer Andrea Chenier (15.5 points per game). Eight Hornets are averaging six or more points per game and four are averaging five or more rebounds, while Hilliard and Hascheff have shared point guard duties on their respective lines and are each averaging six or more assists per contest.
Scouting Oregon State (2-0)
After a 2012-13 season in which the Beavers went 10-12 overall and 4-14 in the Pac-12, Oregon State opened the 2013-14 campaign with a pair of easy home wins over Corban (94-49) and CSU Bakersfield (80-49). The Beavers, who returned three starters and seven letter winners from last season, are shooting 46% and are +22 in rebounding margin through two games. Freshman Sydney Wiese is leading the team with 15.0 points per game while sophomore Devin Hunter is averaging 10.5 points and 10.0 rebounds for a Beaver team that has just one senior and one junior. Oregon State will be looking to avenge an 80-71 overtime loss to the Hornets on their home floor last season.
Scouting Oregon (2-0)
Oregon had a miserable 2012-13 season in which the team went 4-27 overall and was 2-16 in Pac-12 games. This season has started quite differently for Oregon, which is averaging an absurd 122.0 points per game after two blowout wins. The Ducks broke the Pac-12 single-game scoring record in a 131-91 win over CSU Bakersfield and followed with a 113-86 win over Portland. Oregon may be the only other Div. I team in the country running "The System" and has had incredible results with it thus far in 2013-14, not only scoring a ton of points but also tallying a +13.5 rebounding margin and a +5.0 turnover margin. Three Ducks are averaging 24.5 or more points per game, led by 26.0 points from junior Katelyn Loper and 24.5 points and 14.5 rebounds from sophomore Jillian Alleyne.

Key limes are a favorite around here. This is just a twist on the tried-and-true lemon bars, but I like these better because of the tanginess of the key lime juice.
2/3 cup sweet rice flour (do not substitute white rice flour)
2/3 cup gluten-free all purpose baking flour
2/3 cup cornstarch
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 teaspoon xanthan gum
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 cup shortening
4 eggs, lightly beaten
1 12-ounce can sweetened condensed milk
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup key lime juice
1/4 cup sweet rice flour
2 tablespoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon grated lime zest
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 cup powdered sugar (for dusting)
Step 1 – Preheat oven to 350-degrees Fahrenheit.
Step 2 – Combine flours, cornstarch, ½ cup powdered sugar, xanthan gum, and salt in a medium bowl with wire whisk. Add vanilla extract and shortening. Blend with a pastry blender or cut in with knives. Try to keep hands from touching the dough for flakiest results.
Step 3 – Spray 2-quart rectangle casserole pan with non-stick cooking spray. With plastic wrap, gently press the dough firmly, but evenly into the bottom of the pan. The plastic wrap will not only keep your hands from touching the dough, but will avoid the dough sticking to anything (it's pretty sticky). Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes, or until lightly browned; rotating halfway through baking.
Step 4 – Combine eggs, sweetened condensed milk, sugar, zest, and key lime juice. Blend in sweet rice flour, cornstarch and baking powder. Pour over crust and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges just begin to lightly brown and the center no longer jiggles when you shake the pan. Rotate pan midway through baking to ensure even cooking.
Step 5 – Allow to cool on a wire rack for 10-15 minutes. Gently dust the top with ¼ cup powder sugar. Cut into squares to server.
Makes: 2 dozen squares

Aides to President Barack Obama are putting the final touches on a new strategy to help Democrats recover from a brutal August recess by specifying the components of a compromise health-care deal, and directly and publicly confronting other trouble spots, West Wing officials tell POLITICO.
"We're entering a new season," senior adviser David Axelrod said in a telephone interview. "It's time to synthesize and harmonize these strands and get this done. We're confident that we can do that. But obviously it is a different phase. We're going to approach it in a different way. The president is going to be very active."
Obama is considering detailing his health care demands in a major speech as soon as next week, when Congress returns from the August recess.
Top officials privately concede the past six weeks have taken their toll on Obama's popularity. But they also see the new diminished expectations as an opportunity to prove their critics wrong by signing a health care law, showing progress in Afghanistan, and using this month's anniversary of the fall of Lehman Brothers to push for a crackdown on Wall Street.
White House officials say Obama will be "more prescriptive" in shaping the final health care deal. Although House leaders have said their members will demand the inclusion of a public insurance option, Obama has no plans to insist on it himself, the officials said.
"We have been saying all along that the most important part of this debate is not the public option, but rather ensuring choice and competition," an aide said. "There are lots of different ways to get there."
Some administration officials welcome a showdown with liberal lawmakers if they argue they would rather have no health care law than an incremental one. The confrontation would allow Obama to show he is willing to stare down his own party to get things done.
The timing, format, venue and content of Obama's presentation are still being debated in the West Wing. Aides have discussed whether to stick to broad principles, or to send specific legislative language to Capitol Hill. Some hybrid is likely, the officials said.
"I'm not going to put a date on any of this," Axelrod said. "But I think it's fairly obvious that we're not in the second inning. We're not in the fourth inning. We're in the eighth or ninth inning here, and so there's not a lot of time to waste."
It's doubtful Obama will dictate a highly specific plan, in large part because he has put so much emphasis on congressional input, but also in recognition of the big divides that remain. This could keep Obama playing defense, because Republicans say they are committed to killing any deal and painting any plan, almost regardless of details, as a risky gamble on government intervention. The president is also likely to remain smack in the middle of a tense internecine fight over the size and content of the final deal. It's not clear the emerging strategy will fix any of this.
"I understand the governing wisdom here in town as to where this is right now," Axelrod said. "I feel good about where it is right now. I understand that there's been a lot of controversy. I understand that there's been a lot of politics. But the truth is we're a lot closer to achieving something than many thought possible. People look to the president for leadership on this and other issues. He feels passionately about this, and you can look for him to provide that leadership."
Obama has been criticized for deciding to cede much of the debate to Capitol Hill — or, as Axelrod put it, "allow Congress to consider the whole range of ideas."
"History will judge whether this was right or it was wrong," Axelrod said. "We feel strongly that it was right. As a result of it, we have broad consensus over 80 percent of this stuff, and a lot of good ideas about how to achieve the other 20. Now, people are looking to the president and the president is eager to help lead that process of harmonizing these different elements and completing this process so that we can solve what is a big problem in the lives of the American people, for our businesses and our economy."
White House officials say they are looking forward to "a break from the August break" -- a chance to take back control of the debate after a grim month where news coverage of the issue was dominated by vocal, emotional opponents at lawmakers' town meetings, railing against the cost and complexity of the plans being debated.
So Obama and Democrats will return from vacation wounded, divided and uncertain of the best way to turn things around. Many Democrats, especially in the House, were spooked over break by the rowdy town hall meetings and flurry of polls showing independent voters skeptical of their leadership and spending plans.
The mood swing is hitting some top leaders hard: Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.), for instance, is trailing little known GOP contenders in his re-election race now. The news swing has been no less brutal. There has been saturation coverage of the town halls and rising casualties in Afghanistan -- the latter leading to a big drop in support for the war.
All of this makes for a tumultuous -- and wildly unpredictable -- fall for Obama and his party.
Axelrod said he isn't worried. "Part of it is born of long experience," he said. "In Washington, every day is election day. I'd be lying to you if I told you I don't look at polls. I do. But I've also learned that you have to keep your eye on the horizon here and not get bogged down."

Day's Worst: RTD leaves disabled board members on the sidelines
We get the whole team-building concept. You spend some time with people in challenging circumstances and those personal connections can ease the sometimes contentious job of governing.
But we don't understand why the Regional Transportation District chose a team-building exercise — go-cart racing — that two of the 15-member board could not participate in due to their disabilities.
You might think that an entity that routinely deals with the needs of the disabled would have been more sensitive to the situation, and would have chosen an activity that all could engage in.
We would have hoped so.
Paul Solano, who was in a car wreck that left him with upper body limitations, said he was not able to drive a go-cart. After the race that others drove in, he was asked what he learned from the exercise.
"I said the race was symbolic," said Solano. "Some people on the board were going to drive and others were there to watch."
The real shame of it is that it didn't have to be that way.

Hunt Electronics Covert Security Cameras: Keeping Surveillance Under WrapsPosted in Surveillance Systems | February 14 2012
There are two different schools of thought when it comes to installing security cameras for surveillance. One is that letting everyone in the area know that they are under surveillance is an effective deterrent. This is why you often see monitors displaying customer activity out in the open in large retail stores. The other school of thought is that the less everyone in the area knows about your security system, the better it is at uncovering improper activities.Read more

VIRGINIA BEACH, Va. (NNS) -- The Center for Personal and Professional Development (CPPD) is asking Sailors to submit their Navy Tuition Assistance (TA) requests - and now would be good -- said the director of Navy Voluntary Education (VOLED) March 3.
According to Ernest D'Antonio, CPPD's VOLED program director, the expenditure rate for TA funding is currently below normal levels, which means there's more funding available than usual at this time of the year. "We use historical 'burn rates' as a guide for allocating TA funding throughout the year," he said. "We plan really well for routine years. After furloughs and a government shutdown, Fiscal Year 2014 (FY-14) hasn't been a routine year," he said.
Lt. Cmdr. Mark Wadsworth, director of CPPD Support Site Saufley Field in Pensacola, Fla., leads the team that monitors CPPD's Navy TA spending. He said FY-14 TA execution is currently trailing FY-13's execution rate by just over $6 million year-to-date.
"We think a variety of things influenced our being below the TA budget right now," said Wadsorth. "Our execution rate dropped in October with the government shutdown and that's carried through the year. The usage rate steadily increased in November and December. But then it dropped back down in January, probably due to uncertainty with the federal budget. Although we have funding now, the usage rate hasn't increased significantly since then. Sailors need to understand that their education benefits reset each year, and unused amounts don't carry over."
D'Antonio said, "We want Sailors to continue to pursue their education and submit their TA requests - we work hard to allocate every TA dollar available to give Sailors the most opportunities to use their TA funding allotment for each fiscal year."
He said more than 25,000 Sailors have used TA benefits so far this fiscal year and emphasized that a Sailor's command is an important part of TA authorizations because they're the first step in the process after a Sailor submits a request.
"It's each command's responsibility to ensure their Sailors are aware of and meet all relevant TA policies, are comfortable with their Sailors' ability to complete a requested course, and process each Sailor's TA request promptly," said D'Antonio.
"A command approver can review a Sailor's request and deny it if all Navy requirements aren't met, if the Sailor's performance isn't up to standards, or if the command's mission might not permit the Sailor to complete the course. Ultimately, it's the commanding officer's decision," said D'Antonio.
D'Antonio also recommended each command approver continually review the Sailor's education progress.
"Our biggest reason for disapproval of TA requests is they aren't received from the Sailor's command approver prior to the course start date, as required by DOD instruction. Often when we review a TA request, a Sailor may be missing some of the TA prerequisites such as a current education counseling by a Navy College Office (NCO) or Virtual Education Center (VEC) counselor, or an individual education plan or degree plan on file, or missing a grade from a past course," he said.
VOLED professionals work with Sailors to get the requirements in on time, but if the Sailor's account is incomplete or not updated before the course start date, they are unable to fund the TA request, D'Antonio said. "So I repeat this message constantly: 30 days prior to the course start date is not too soon for Sailors to submit their TA request. In fact, a TA application can be submitted a year before the actual class start date, which will help ensure the Sailor's TA request is funded and allows us to better manage expenditures."
D'Antonio also stressed that Sailors should work closely with an NCO or VEC counselor to help them reach their educational goals. "The VOLED team is here to help, bottom line. Our job is to work with Sailors, inform them about options, provide impartial counseling and point out avenues for Sailors to pursue their life-long educational and credentialing goals."
According to CPPD Commanding Officer Capt. John Newcomer, Navy leaders are committed to providing Sailors with voluntary education opportunities.
"We know that educated Sailors are strong performers with well-developed critical thinking skills and the ability to make informed decisions," said Newcomer. "A college degree is an investment in a Sailor and a contributing factor in Navy mission accomplishment."

Man killed in Kenosha Co. train crash identified
The Kenosha County Sheriff's Department has identified a man killed after his vehicle was struck by a train Thursday evening.
Sheriff David Beth said that Erik Johnson, 20, was killed after his sport utility vehicle was struck by an Amtrak passenger train around 9:10 p.m. Thursday.
Investigators believe Johnson was traveling east on County Highway A in the Town of Somers. Witnesses told Sheriff's deputies that the railroad crossing lights and gates were activated, and that Johnson's Jeep Cherokee did not attempt to stop until the vehicle was quite close to the crossing.
Preliminary reports suggest the Jeep slid on the snow-covered road, went about 150 feet off the roadway through a ditch and then emerged onto the railroad tracks.
Johnson, of Kenosha, was pronounced dead at the scene, and was the only person in the vehicle. None of the 89 passengers on the train were injured.

Arnedillo spa: set among hot springs, vineyards and dinosaurs
Arnedillo spa
La Rioja is famous the world over for the quality of its wines. However it is also the place to head for if you are looking for somewhere for a few days' relaxation and pampering. Just come to the Arnedillo spa and see for yourself.
In the north of Spain you will find the famous region of La Rioja, and in the interior, in the Cidacos river valley - an area declared a Biosphere Reserve by UNESCO-, is the town of Arnedillo, in whose spa you can enjoy a wonderfully self-indulgent holiday. It lies 61 km from the city of Logroño, in natural setting which is ideal for peace and relaxation, amid forests of beech and pine and surrounded by mountains, some over one thousand metres. Just the view of this beautiful spot in La Rioja is enough to do you good, although for the best results, try the medicinal mineral waters and the therapeutic mud in its thermal centre.
Since it opened its doors over 160 years ago, thousands of people have enjoyed the benefits of the richness of its natural springs. Did you know that the relaxing and anti-rheumatic properties of the waters in the Arnedillo spa are particularly recommended for muscle contractions, joints, and respiratory problems? The range of treatments includes anti-stress, beauty and anti-rheumatic programmes. One of its most characteristic treatments is the application of thermal mud: this has a soothing effect, is excellent for alleviating rheumatism and acts as an effective skin moisturiser and purifier.
A stay at the Arnedillo spa will be anything but boring, as they offer a host of leisure and outdoor activities in the surrounding area. These include signposted routes through the countryside, such as the green route along the Cidacos river, and excursions to places with an important architectural heritage such as Calahorra. You will also have the chance to visit the world of wine by taking a tour of the nearby vineyards, or to explore the sites of preserved dinosaur prints in the area, considered the most important in Europe. Do something different and pamper yourself for a few days in the Arnedillo spa: there's plenty to enjoy

John Hammond
Canadian, 1843–1939
C.P.R. Station in the Rockies, 1901
oil on canvas
151.6 x 244.4 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Gift of the Walter Klinkhoff Gallery Inc., Montreal
Painting, Canadian Historical (1800-1910)
Construction of a railway across Canada made the dream to link the country from coast to coast a reality. The last spike was driven into the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) in November 1885, and the first journey occurred the following June. The CPR provided new opportunities for industry, immigration, and agriculture by opening up western and northern regions that were previously only accessible by inconvenient water routes. Many artists, like John Hammond, were commissioned by the CPR to paint scenes of westward expansion for eastern audiences (including investors) to help stimulate tourism. In this romantic image, the small railway station and platform are dwarfed by the gigantic Rocky Mountains, signifying both the arrival of the railway and the daunting obstacles that were overcome in its construction.

Today's Nice Price or Crack Pipe 240SX may be that marque's most nondescript body style, however what it's packing below the bonnet is anything but. The question is, will its price prove contrastingly ostentatious?
We all have to go sometime, and if it's the last car ride you get to take, going in yesterday's stately 1985 Eureka Concours Hearse wouldn't be a bad way to go about doing it. And, according to 87% of you, that Caddy hearse came with a Nice Price, so buying it preparation wouldn't be the death of you. Heck, for its low asking price you could buy two and have his and hearse!
You know what once was dead, but now seems to be rising, Phoenix-like, out of the tire smoke? Compact Japanese rear drivers, that's what. Toyota's got a new one - and Subaru has its own version that's even better. Nissan used to have a couple of them too- the ZX keeping the aviator sunglasses crowd in car payments, and the SX serving those of more modest ambitions.
There's nothing modest about what's under the hood of this '95 240SX as it has gone down in displacement from what the factory provided, but way up in power owing to its JDM SR20DET RedTop.
When it comes to the SX's lineage, the S14 edition was probably the most undistinguished in appearance. With its introduction in '95, Nissan dropped the hatchback and convertible models focusing instead on a single and somewhat bland-looking notch-back coupe - one that couldn't even boast to having pop-up headlights.
This one, in two-tone black over silver with stripy-stripe accents, tries to liven that up. When you consider however, that the car's basic shape acts as kind of an invisibility cloak when it comes to wanton acts of testosterone, its outward modesty should be appreciated.
That body's in pretty good shape with only some cheesing on the back bumper cap and a little curb rash on the airdam in front. The car's been dropped and rides on a set of smoked Sport Max XXR 962s. It also suffers from fartcanicus giganticus, but really, with a modded Japanese coupe, what did you expect?
On the inside, the first thing you might notice is how nice the interior is for a Nissan. Long leading the parade for tiny buttons and dashboards that rival jigsaw puzzles in complexity, Nissan did it right with the S14. This one - in goes-with-everything grey - is appreciably clean with the notable exception of the driver's floor pad which is a little grungy, and the steering wheel center which looks like it's suffered a karate chop. Weird.
It's the JDM mill under the hood that makes this 240SX special though. The DOHC RedTop came in the home market Silvia, so it and this car likely needed little introduction. Along with being big in Japan, this one has also been made GReddy Set Go! with that company's intake, intercooler and Mitsu T05 turbo to liven things up. Power? Well, factory the engine put out a little more than 200 ponies so this one's probably even more-more.
Along with the replaced engine comes a new gas tank and a whole bunch of billet and bolt-ons under-hood and on the suspension. Getting this California-tagged custom to pass smog must be fun, but as they say, where there's a will to pay there's a way to play.
Comparing this car's specs to that of a contemporary BMW M3 really casts the Nissan in a good light. The power is there, and while the S14's suspension isn't as complex or competent, it's probably going to prove more durable. Not in the range of the typical E36 M3 is this 240SX's price, which is a requested $8,500. That's a lot for an old SX, but is it too much for an SR20DET-equipped example? What do you think, is this S14 worth that kind of cash? Or, is this a 240SX with a price that's SX-ive?
You decide!

Kern waived; Berger new Broncos punter
The Broncos have signed NFL veteran and former University of Colorado punter Mitch Berger, who replaces Brett Kern.
It appears the Broncos were unhappy with Kern's inconsistency in directional kicking, plus his tendency to boot long, low-trajectory punts that were ideal for returning.
While Kern was 10th in the NFL with a 46.1-yard gross average, he was 27th with a 34.5-yard net after San Diego's Darren Sproles returned a punt for a touchdown last Monday night.
Kern also had an NFL-high six touchbacks on only 27 punts this year.
In making their first roster move of the regular season, the Broncos not only changed punters but the holder for kicker Matt Prater.
"We'll just have to work hard this week and do the best we can," Prater said. "Mitch has a lot of experience holding so we should be fine. I was sad, though, when I saw Brett pack his bag and leave. We were really close. He was like a brother to me. It's one of the tough parts about this game."
The Broncos worked out Berger last week and signed him Monday. This will be his 16th NFL season as a punter and kickoff specialist and the Broncos will be his 12th NFL team, counting the uniforms he wore in the preseason.
He was named to the Pro Bowl in 1999 and 2004.
Born and raised in Canada, Berger punted and kicked off for Bill McCartney's CU Buffaloes in 1992-93. Drafted by the Philadelphia Eagles in 1994, Berger's long NFL career took him last season to the Pittsburgh Steelers where he wound up punting in Super Bowl XLIII.
He had a good game, too, averaging 46.3 yards on three punts to earn his first Super Bowl ring.
"I've had some incredible highs," Berger told the Denver Post's Woody Paige during Super Bowl media day in Tampa, Fla. "I've had some incredible lows. I'm not finished. I'll keep punting as long as I can. And when I can't punt anymore, maybe I can hang on a couple years as a holder."

I don't see what all the hubbub over the latest meteor in Russia is all about. I mean, based on this documentary of what happened with the Tunguska meteor event in the early 1900s, clearly the proper authorities are on top of things. This film happens to be set to the music of Metallica, but there are subtitles, so feel free to watch with the sound lowered if this type of music isn't your fare.
And here's another Russian meteor video featuring the music of Leona Lewis. No word from scientists yet as to whether the music triggered this most recent event as some type of wrath from the heavens.
What do you think? Ever seen a meteor streak across the sky? Anything to be concerned about here? Let us hear from you in the comments.

John Piper is A Hyper-Calvinist!
Also, is it true Bethlehem Baptist has revised their hymnal to fit the mold of their hyper-Calvinist pastor? I hear they now sing, "Jesus loves some of the children, some of the children in the world..."Dr. John Piper is the pastor of Bethlehem Baptist Church, a growing congregation located in downtown Minneapolis, Minnesota. He is most definitely not a hyper-calvinist. His church excels in missions, fully sponsoring over a hundred missionaries currently on the field. But, just in case one still thinks Dr. Caner may have a point, let me lay out the distinctions of hyper-calvinism in order to see how ridiculous this charge is.
According to Phil Johnson in his "A Primer on Hyper-Calvinism", A hypercalvinist is a person who denies at least one of the following statements:
1. That the gospel call applies to all who hear.
2. That faith is the duty of every sinner.
3. That the gospel makes any "offer" of Christ, salvation, or mercy to the non-elect (or that the offer of divine mercy is free and universal).
4. That there is such a thing as "common grace."
5. That God has any sort of love for the non-elect.
I think you will find that even a cursory study of John Piper's writings and sermons will demonstrate that this term does not in any way describe Dr. Piper. But what this does reveal is the growing dislike for Calvinism among the SBC elites and the willingness they have to discredit those with whom they disagree. This is a sad situation. We should all be praying for the future of the Southern Baptist Convention.

Sue Weidemann, PhD, is an environmental psychologist who, for over 35 years, has studied the relationships between people and the places and spaces they use, through her research, teaching, and consulting.
Prior to joining BOSTI Associates in 1994, Weidemann taught research-based design decision-making to Landscape Architecture, Architecture, and Planning students for 25 years at the University of Illinois, in Urbana-Champaign. While there, she authored or coauthored more than 40 articles, book chapters, and reports. In addition, six of her team projects received eight national awards or recognition for applied research.
At BOSTI Associates, her work has focused on the workplace, quantitatively measuring the effects of workplace design upon important business metrics such as job satisfaction, team performance, and the productivity of office workers. These measures allowed BOSTI to identify those qualities of the workplace that have the strongest effects on these business metrics, enabling the prioritization of aspects of the workplace which would lead to increased productivity and job satisfaction.
As Director of Research since 1994, Weidemann developed BOSTI's data-gathering methods, supervising data collection, analysis, and interpretation. The resulting analyses led directly to development of concepts which were incorporated, through collaborative work with designers, clients, and their other consultants, into the design and planning of high-performance workplaces. She also collected data across a wide variety of projects and client situations to create and maintain a large experiential database (now containing data from over 15,000 workers in diverse industries) for use in BOSTI Associates' research, as well as to provide information about "comparables" to clients. At BOSTI Associates, Weidemann's project experience includes design and utilization of all quantitative research tools, and the analyses and interpretations for all BOSTI projects, from 1994 to 2007; co-project manager, cross-organization analysis of BOSTI's 13,000-person database (1998-2004); project manager, used as the basis for "Disproving Widespread Myths about Workplace Design" (Brill, M., Weidemann, S. and BOSTI Associates, 2001); the development of reliable research tools for each project, making them responsive to specific client culture and needs.
Since retiring BOSTI in 2007, Weidemann has done selective research on a part-time basis, collaborating with various firms and individuals. As well, she continues to review manuscripts for peer-reviewed journals and professional organizations. She also occasionally serves on thesis or dissertation committees for students in various departments and universities. Additionally, she developed a continuing education course for IDCEC, in collaboration with Frank Lytle, of Transwall. She is a recipient of the 2014 Career Award from the Environmental Design Research Association in recognition of her "significant and lasting" contributions to environmental design research, practice and teaching.
Weidemann joined the School of Architecture and Planning in 2011, serving as a senior consultant to the Center for Inclusive Design and Environmental Access and a visiting professor in the Department of Architecture, where she both teaches and advises student research in inclusive design.
She received her B.S., M.S. and Ph.D. in social psychology from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.

Whereas i'd love to see many a place, i'd rather have a 2 week holiday and head home, need my home comforts, dont like being in a place that isnt mine, without access to my stuff, for too long.

Fiji - too much like tropical australia so didn't really appreciate it.
Planning to go on exchange to the states next year.
A selection of some of my favourite, or at least some of the more interesting, major cities I've been to, spread geographically over a few posts:
Brisbane – my city of birth and a place I can see myself settling down one day, has made great strides from the "big country town" of even 20 years ago and is now a brilliant, modern city with a fantastic quality of life.
Sydney – Australia's "show off" city, full of glamour and excitement. Not necessarily the city you'd tell a visitor to live, but certainly where you'd send them to on a visit. Iconic attractions and one of the two or three most beautifully set cities on earth, surely.
Melbourne – it can be argued that where Sydney has the style, Melbourne has the substance. Perhaps not as glitzy as its northern rival, many believe is more cultural and sophisticated, and a better place to live. I'm huge fan of both.
Canberra - my home for six years, which seems weird when I think about it as I didn't think I'd stay that long. A very attractive, well designed town with an excellent restaurant/cafe culture, though a l always found it too "planned" and sterile, and not very dynamic. I enjoyed my years there though.
Christchurch – A big change of pace from the major Australian cities, Christchurch is somewhat more gentrified, betraying its "London of the South" nickname. Lovely setting on the Canterbury plains.
Beijing – fascinating combination of glorious ancient culture, 20th century communism and an awakening into the capitalist modern age. In real danger of losing its history in favour of looking to the future (the Starbucks inside the walls of the Forbidden City is one of the most disgraceful things I've ever seen) but I loved it regardless.
Shanghai – one of my favourite cities, a very strong European influence showing its legacy as a trading centre, but with a cutting edge modern feel as well. Would love to go back and spend still more time there.
Harbin – up in the far North East of China, close to both Russia and North Korea, it's -17 at 11am and you get mistaken for a Russian when you're white and have a beard (shaving when travelling is a hassle). Dismal local cuisine, but interesting place.
Hong Kong – set dramatically on a harbour and certainly the most "Western" of Chinese cities, I nevertheless found this dynamic place less fascinating than much of the rest of the country.
Suzhou and Hangzhou - the two beautiful garden cities of China, where you can feel the history while wandering around the gardens, canals and silk markets, and get transported back into the world of ancient China.
The Americas
New York – very few other cities have had so much, good AND bad, said and written about it, and it's almost all true. You might love it or you might hate it but you'll never be bored. For the record, I loved it.
New Orleans – the first American city I spent any time in, and I'm so glad I did. What a place, so full of life and so very, very cool. I was there before the floods and feel very lucky because, as much as I hope I'm wrong, I'm not sure if it will ever be the same again.
Ottawa – I was expecting the Canadian version of Canberra but was more than pleasantly surprised to find a much bigger and grander city than I had envisaged. The British influence was quite strong in the architecture and culture.
Montreal – didn't spend a lot of time there but was most impressed by what I did get to experience. I found it to be a city of rather effortless style and cool, with a great vibe and predictably exciting mash of French and English languages and cultures.
Buenos Aires – considered the most European of Latin American cities and it's hard to disagree with that assessment. Ever so slightly over-rated by the likes of Lonely Planet IMO, it is still a very sophisticated place in terms of culture and style, with beautiful architecture and great variety. And then there's the steak…
Rio de Janeiro – I was there for Carnival, and let's be honest it's tough not to enjoy yourself in the middle of the world's biggest party. And party they do – beautiful, hedonistic people strutting the streets and beaches of a city that rivals Sydney as the most beautifully set of any I've seen.
Salvador – Brazil's other party capital, with a different feel to Rio in a lot of ways. Very much focused on the people rather than the event, it's another city dramatically set overlooking a bay and with a cultural heritage unmatched by few places in that part of the world.
Ouro Preto – not a major city but a gorgeous former mining town and now world heritage site in the hinterlands of Minas Gerais, with a collection of spectacular, gold-lined churches that can scarcely be bettered anywhere in new World.
Bogota – forget what you've heard and read about revolutions, guerrillas and drug cartels and just go there. An immensely vibrant, sophisticated city with brilliant museums, great nightlife and tremendously friendly people.
Cartegena – the jewel of Colombia, this magnificent walled port city overlooking the Caribbean is a must-see. Just walk around the sea-view ramparts or the cobbled streets and soak it all in. Wonderful.
Quito – one of the more understated Latin American capitals and without quite the grandeur or excitement of many, but an easy place to chill. A side trip to the (horribly touristy) Mitad del Mundo – the equator line – is a cool way to kill a day!
Lima – big, sprawling and dirty, the "city of kings" has some significant sights and happening nightlife, but in my opinion is merely a gateway to the far, far more interesting parts of Peru. And there are a lot of those.
Cuzco – the former Inca capital is a fantastic place with a truly and genuinely tangible sense of history. It's gringo central, of course – you'll feel that tourists outnumber locals a lot of the time – but a trip to Peru, indeed to South America as a whole, seems incomplete without it.
La Paz – a (literally) breathtaking location at 4000m above sea level, good food and drink, very friendly people and low, low prices make this one of my favourite South American cities for putting the trials of constant travel behind you and just sitting back and relaxing for day after day.

In today's exciting episode of Speak-Up on Kotaku, commenter Cupids_Hitman waits and waits for prices on first-party Nintendo games to drop, but they never do.
What's up with the pricing of Wii games? My family got a Wii this past Christmas, and so I've been looking to play some 1st party Nintendo games, but they're insanely overpriced. Super Smash Bros. Brawl came out three years ago and a copy of the game is an average of $45. Super Mario Galaxy, which came out about three and a half years ago, is $40. Twilight Princess, which came out four and a half years ago, is $40 dollars. I'm guessing the demand is still fairly high for these games, and so the best idea that I can come up with is that Nintendo is keeping the supply limited in order to jack up the prices, but why? These games have been out forever. Why can't they let the people who waited this long and still want a copy their game buy it without paying nearly full price? I'm a broke college student. I don't have the money to buy games new, so I usually wait until the price drops, but with Nintendo, that NEVER happens. It's quite frustrating.
About Speak-Up on Kotaku: Our readers have a lot to say, and sometimes what they have to say has nothing to do with the stories we run. That's why we have a forum on Kotaku called Speak-Up.

Syncrude found guilty in duck deathsMonday, June 28th, 2010
Canadian company Syncrude Canada LTD. has been on trial recently over the death of 1,600 migratory ducks at a treatment pond in 2008, today, the judge ruled they were indeed responsible for the deaths, charging that the company had failed to implement plans to protect wildlife. From Reuters:
ST. ALBERT, Alberta, June 25 (Reuters) – A judge found Syncrude Canada Ltd, Canada's largest oil sands producer, guilty on Friday in the deaths of 1,600 ducks that landed on a toxic Northern Alberta tailings pond in 2008, ruling the company should have had deterrents in place.
Syncrude faces maximum penalties of C$500,000 for provincial charges and C$300,000 under federal charges in the case, which crystallized international concern about the environmental impact of developing Canada's vast oil sands, the largest crude oil source outside the Middle East.
Alberta Provincial Court Judge Ken Tjosvold ruled the company failed to take necessary steps to keep the waterfowl away from the tailings pond at its Aurora mine in April 2008.

Creating a PHP REST API Using the Zend Framework
Posted by Chris Danielson in PHP on September 2nd, 2009
I don't know about you, but I spent hours pouring over the Zend documentation and searching the Internet for some sort of understanding or example regarding how to do REST the correct way in PHP. I found a handful of one-offs, where everyone was writing their own core REST engine from scratch. I figure why write all the code to handle this, if you already have the Zend Framework in your code base. I believe that the ideal solution will effectively use the the Zend_Rest_Controller and ContextSwitch objects as well as offering JSON and XML formatting options. My goal here is simple. I want to give you the building blocks to aid in writing an easily maintainable REST API in PHP using the Zend Framework.
This code example will support REST data in the format of XML and JSON.
- PHP version > 5
- Zend Framework 1.9.2 (at the minimum) The generic download page can found here.
Download ZendRestExample Source. You will want to download this example in order to effectively run and better understand the project. Make sure to rename the 1.htaccess file to .htaccess (if interested in using it). As well, take note that there are other files not listed below that are required to run this project. These are contained within the zip'd source code. Finally, the Zend framework is not zip'd into the source code. You'll need to download this and install it on your own.
Basic Directory Structure:
/ /.htaccess /index.php /applications/ /applications/configs/ /applications/controllers/ /applications/forms/ /applications/layouts/ /applications/views/ /library/ (optional where the Zend folder containing the framework should reside)
URLS used in this example:
http://yourSite/version/format/xml http://yourSite/version/format/json //with other parameters you can do: http://yourSite/version/format/xml/id/1234/param2/6789
One of the tricky things with REST is that the URLs need to be formatted properly. In Apache, all you need is the mod_rewrite module enabled and a .htaccess in the root of your current web project.
SetEnv APPLICATION_ENV development RewriteEngine On #RewriteBase /~myUserName/myDirectory RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L] RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
Now that we have adjusted the .htaccess, let's look into the application/configs/application.ini as well as the important Bootstrap.php.
[production] phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 0 phpSettings.display_errors = 0 bootstrap.path = APPLICATION_PATH "/Bootstrap.php" resources.frontController.controllerDirectory = APPLICATION_PATH "/controllers" bootstrap.class = "Bootstrap" [staging : production] [testing : production] phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1 phpSettings.display_errors = 1 [development : production] phpSettings.display_startup_errors = 1 phpSettings.display_errors = 1
The core kick-start of this whole REST application is contained in the applications/Bootstrap.php
<?php class Bootstrap extends Zend_Application_Bootstrap_Bootstrap { protected function _initAutoload() { $autoloader = new Zend_Application_Module_Autoloader(array( 'namespace' => 'Default_', 'basePath' => dirname(__FILE__), )); return $autoloader; } protected function _initRestRoute() { $this->bootstrap('Request'); $front = $this->getResource('FrontController'); $restRoute = new Zend_Rest_Route($front, array(), array( 'default' => array('version') )); $front->getRouter()->addRoute('rest', $restRoute); } protected function _initRequest() { $this->bootstrap('FrontController'); $front = $this->getResource('FrontController'); $request = $front->getRequest(); if (null === $front->getRequest()) { $request = new Zend_Controller_Request_Http(); $front->setRequest($request); } return $request; } }
Now we need to wire up the ability for web requests to move through this engine. We do this in our /index.php file.
<?php // Define path to application directory defined('APPLICATION_PATH') || define('APPLICATION_PATH', realpath(dirname(__FILE__) . '/application')); // Define application environment defined('APPLICATION_ENV') || define('APPLICATION_ENV', (getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') ? getenv('APPLICATION_ENV') : 'production')); // Ensure library/ is on include_path /* If you do not have the Zend library already included in your PHP installation... 1. Create a directory named library and place the Zend Framework into it. NOTE: In my instance, I have the Zend library residing under /usr/share/php/ Because of this, the following lines are commented. */ /*set_include_path(implode(PATH_SEPARATOR, array( realpath(APPLICATION_PATH . '/library'), get_include_path(), ))); */ /** Zend_Application */ require_once 'Zend/Application.php'; // Create application, bootstrap, and run $application = new Zend_Application( APPLICATION_ENV, APPLICATION_PATH . '/configs/application.ini' ); $application->bootstrap()->run();
Well now that the core is in place, all we need is to integrate our controllers. This is where our business logic will reside.
<?php class VersionController extends Zend_Rest_Controller { public function init() { $bootstrap = $this->getInvokeArg('bootstrap'); $options = $bootstrap->getOption('resources'); $contextSwitch = $this->_helper->getHelper('contextSwitch'); $contextSwitch->addActionContext('index', array('xml','json'))->initContext(); //$this->_helper->viewRenderer->setNeverRender(); $this->view->success = "true"; $this->view->version = "1.0"; } /** * The index action handles index/list requests; it should respond with a * list of the requested resources. */ public function indexAction() { //if you want to have access to a particular paramater use the helper function as follows: //print $this->_helper->getParam('abc'); //To test with this use: http://myURL/format/xml/abc/1002 } public function listAction() { $this->_forward('index'); } public function getAction() { $this->_forward('index'); } public function newAction() { $this->_forward('index'); } public function postAction() { $this->_forward('index'); } public function editAction() { $this->_forward('index'); } public function putAction() { $this->_forward('index'); } public function deleteAction() { $this->_forward('index'); } }
Now that we've done this, the URL for format of JSON just works as-is thanks to the Zend ContextSwitch engine. No other changes are needed. If you are interested in having the output in XML format, then you'll need to make a few additions. Now that we've taken care of the Controller, we're going to have to add in the views to make the XML work with the ContextSwitch. So under /applications/views/scripts/version/ you'll need a file: index.xml.phtml
<?php $doc = new DOMDocument(); $doc->formatOutput = true; $root_element = $doc->createElement("response"); $doc->appendChild($root_element); $statusElement = $doc->createElement("success"); $statusElement->appendChild($doc->createTextNode($this->success)); $root_element->appendChild($statusElement); $versionElement = $doc->createElement("version"); $versionElement->appendChild($doc->createTextNode($this->version)); $root_element->appendChild($versionElement); print $doc->saveXML(); ?>
And that is all there is to it. We've now made a basic index/list REST API for listing the version of your product. This is an overly simple example of how to integrate quickly the Zend REST engine.

Killorn logged a game-high three points and five shots (photo courtesy Gil Talbot).
CAMBRIDGE, Mass.—The Harvard men's hockey team erased three different Princeton leads and scored a season-high three power-play goals en route to a 4-4 tie with the No. 20 Tigers Friday night at Bright Hockey Center.
Alex Killorn had the biggest shot of the night, tying the game with less than six minutes remaining, barely three minutes after Mike Kramer's second goal gave Princeton (14-8-2, 9-6-2 ECAC Hockey, 3-3-1 Ivy League) a third-period lead. After Danny Biega shot wide from the right point, Alex Fallstrom got the puck back to Chris Huxley high on the left side of the zone. Huxley sent the puck at the net, and Killorn knocked it down and past Princeton goalie Sean Bonar for the tying goal.
Rob Kleebaum also scored twice for Princeton. Killorn notched two assists for Harvard (4-18-1, 3-13-1, 0-7-1), while Huxley recorded a goal and an assist and Fallstrom had two helpers. Conor Morrison and Daniel Moriarty also dented the net for the Crimson.
Harvard trailed three times but only for a total of eight minutes, 26 seconds, as the Crimson erased each deficit within about three minutes.
The statistics reflected the even, end-to-end action on the ice. Each team had 33 shots on goal, six minor penalties and five power plays. Each goalie, Bonar and Harvard's Kyle Richter, registered 29 saves. Each side scored once with a two-man advantage, and neither led by more than a goal. The score was tied at the end of each period.
The Tigers got off to a strong start, recording seven of the game's first nine shots. Harvard gained momentum after head coach Ted Donato '91 called his timeout midway through the period, but Princeton still managed to get on the scoreboard first, when Kramer put in the rebound of an Andrew Calof shot at 15:17.
Morrison evened the score midway through the period. After Dan Ford shot wide of the goal from the left point, Pier-Olivier Michaud grabbed the rebound behind the net and passed to Morrison. The sophomore scored from low on the right side before Bonar could scramble across the crease. The Tigers held an 11-7 edge in first-period shots.
The second period featured four goals. Moriarty had the first, taking advantage of overlapping Princeton penalties. He banged in the rebound from the right side 65 seconds into the period, following Killorn's deflection of a Biega point shot. Kleebaum countered five minutes later with his own five-on-three goal and gave the Tigers their second lead, 3-2, at 12:27 of the second.
Harvard again answered quickly. Killorn got the puck to Fallstrom in the left corner, and the sophomore found Huxley, whose shot went through a Killorn screen and beat Bonar. Princeton owned a 12-10 shots advantage in the second stanza.
Kramer's shot from high on the right side on a rush gave the Tigers a 4-3 edge at 10:51 of the third period, but the Tigers could not get the puck past Richter after Killorn's tying tally. The Crimson outshot Princeton by margins of 12-8 in the third period and 4-2 in overtime.

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) The NCAA will open its annual convention this week with a host of reform measures on the agenda, part of President Mark Emmert's push to address several years of high-profile scandals.
It may turn out that attorneys will have a lot of say in what the NCAA does in coming years - perhaps as much as any athletic director or school president: The NCAA is facing more than a half-dozen lawsuits in what could signal a new era of legal complications for the largest governing body in collegiate sports.
``It's a much more litigious period than we've seen in the past, and sports in general have become more litigious. Athletes are more willing to do it now, and that's something we haven't seen in the past,'' said Michael McCann, director of the Sports Law Institute and a professor at Vermont Law School. ``I think the NCAA will be dealing with litigation for years to come.''
The list runs from the mundane, a wrongful termination suit stemming from an investigation into Arizona State's baseball program, to the recent headline-grabbing lawsuit from the Pennsylvania governor over the $60 million in sanctions against Penn State for the Jerry Sandusky scandal. But there are also intriguing cases involving brain injuries, scholarship limits and a case in which Ed O'Bannon and other former players accuse the NCAA of operating a monopoly because they are required to sign away their commercial rights to play collegiate sports.
Going to court is nothing new for the NCAA.
There have been huge wins such as the Supreme Court ruling that reinforced the NCAA's right to discipline its member schools, throwing out a decade-old injunction allowing ex-UNLV coach Jerry Tarkanian to continue coaching, and a federal appeals court win when an SMU alum alleged the NCAA violated antitrust laws by imposing the ``death penalty'' on the Mustangs' football program.
There have also been costly losses. The NCAA agreed to pay $54.5 million to settle a case challenging the ``restricted earnings'' rule for non-football coaches and in 1984, the Supreme Court ruled that the NCAA was improperly restricting the ability of its member schools to negotiate television rights.
The impact of the latest round of litigation remains to be seen.
Two weeks ago, Pennsylvania Gov. Tom Corbett filed suit and said the NCAA overstepped its authority when Emmert punished Penn State for Sandusky's child sex-assault crimes by imposing a four-year postseason ban on the football team and the unprecedented $60 million fine on the school.
There are questions about whether a governor has the statutory authority to file suit, but some familiar with the NCAA workings believe the governing body could be at risk because Penn State did not go through the normal disciplinary procedures, including a hearing in front of the committee on infractions.
``The problem I had with it is there is a procedure set up within the NCAA structure to handle violations of NCAA rules. There was nothing set up for the president to decide this on his own,'' said University of Oklahoma law professor David Swank, a former infractions committee chairman. ``There was some authority to impose monetary penalties, but generally it was related to money from TV or bowl games. I'm unaware of any time the committee on infractions imposed monetary penalties like they did in the Penn State case.''
Still, the Pennsylvania case may not prove the most costly to the NCAA.
There is at least one case from former college athletes holding the NCAA accountable for alleged brain injuries suffered during play. And there is the O'Bannon case, which alleges antitrust violations against the NCAA for licensing their images to third parties, including video game manufacturers.
``It could be disastrous for the NCAA,'' McCann said. ``I don't think this is going to happen but in theory it could be billions of dollars.''
Emmert and the NCAA are not backing down.
``It goes without saying that we are a very litigious society and people turn to the court system to address the grievances they do have. We do that all the time, and I don't expect that to diminish any going forward,'' Emmert said. ``I don't put any particular meaning on the level of suits we have right now. We feel the actions are defensible and will continue to fight them.''
That won't stop Emmert from pushing new reforms.
Since the summer of 2011, the NCAA board of directors has approved tougher academic standards for eligibility, given conferences the choice of allowing student-athletes to collect up to $2,000 from the school toward the full cost of enrollment and four-year scholarships instead of one-year scholarships, as well as a new penalty structure. The stipend has since been after a sufficient number of schools signed on to an override measure, though Emmert has repeatedly supported bringing it back.
The next big move could come Saturday when the board is expected to approve a sweeping set of changes that will include eliminating rules about how coaches communicate with recruits, how often they communicate with recruits, and allow college and high school players to accept money for travel expenses and prize money at non-scholastic events.
Some also want the NCAA to step into the turbulent whirlwind of conference realignment, something Emmert has repeatedly avoided for legal reasons.
If the NCAA doesn't get involved, other changes could be coming.
``That could very well happen and I think that's something that has to be hashed out legislatively within the NCAA,'' said Matt Mitten, a law professor and director of the National Sports Law Institute at Marquette University in Milwaukee. ``I could foresee another division within the NCAA. It looks like we might be moving toward four or five new superconferences and maybe the membership decides these schools on relative equal footing on economic terms that they create another division.''
Will it lead to more time in court?
Emmert is ready if that happens, and the legal experts expect the case load to increase, not decrease, over the next few years.
``I think that's a pretty good characterization but 2013 could as well,'' McCann said when asked whether he would call 2012 the NCAA's year of litigation. ``With something like law, I don't think it's really one year because it takes years to resolve.''
