Great finds by @JmmyW in the appendix of the PCRA filing. Truly mind boggling that the media doesn't seem to care about this.

Here are some screen grabs:





Police interviewed Centre Cty CYS worker 2/2/2011 that Dr. Chambers contacted. "He had heard rumors" PCRA App p.513



Lets review the above shall we?

First off, I don't know how the CC CYS can possibly argue that CC CYS case worker John Miller shouldn't be deposed. Kind of similar to the PSU BOT/PA OAG requesting Freeh to not interview Harmon--who was a central figure in both 1998 and 2001.

Secondly, we find out that according to Chambers PSP interview in 2011 about 1998, Chambers ALSO spoke with CC CYS worker Lewis Fulare (who in 1994 was the director of counseling for CC CYS) about her concerns with JS. In addition to that we also know she phoned in her abuse suspicions to DPW's Childline shortly after her interview with V6 AND sent Schreffler a written copy of her opinion/report (which numerous of her colleagues agreed with) on 5/8 so he could use it as corroboration/attach it to his report.

Of course, when asked about this in 2011 Fulare denies it and only says he heard "rumors" and had no first had knowledge....umm....yeah right pal......yet somehow CC CYS/DPW get away with saying that they never knew of Chambers' opinion/report in 1998 and only knew about Seasock?? Wow.....someone is lying and my money is it's the scumbags at CC CYS. These child welfare professionals dropped the ball REPEATEDLY re: JS and somehow PSU college admins/football coach took the FULL BLAME for JS...unreal!

How amazing is it that after all this time and after all the damage done to PSU, NONE of these CYS/DPW/TSM workers have ever really been thoroughly questioned under oath about what they knew and when?? Especially concerning if/when they learned of Chambers' report...

Also some interesting tweets from Ray re: 2001 incident and who at PSU was aware of it:

When I say "knew" it means about the 2001 incident....but appears they gave EXCULPATORY versions

As I mentioned I am pouring over decades of Penn Staters to confirm what my spouse and I remember from our past terms on Alumni Council. Starting in the 70's (with Lloyd Huck, Mimi Barash Coppersmith, etc) and running right up to almost 2012 (when Grass Roots efforts like Penn Staters for Responsible Stewardship broke the pattern, ousted the Old Guard and replaced them with maverick Trustees like Lubrano) the person selected as the only candidate for VP/ President elect of Alumni Council was launched immediately into a Trustee seat. Some - like Jesse Arnelle, stayed 44 years, many stayed over 20 years. from the early 70's to 1990, there were just 3 exceptions, one we know was due to health concerns and one sought an alumni seat on the BOT against power Trustees like Arnelle. He did not fit for B & I or Ag seats.The data is too long to list here, but it shows absolute control by the University over who leads the PSAA and who gets to be Trustee. I am not going to be able to reply/ post much here after Saturday for a week because I am out of the country, but will come back in as soon as possible. I saw the by-laws changes to the Alumni Council in April as a MASSIVE power grab and a bitch slap to our Alumni elected Trustees. The three at large appointees scream that to me, the automatic seat for the Past President of the Council, even though the chartering by-laws of the PSAA have always had a Trustee Liaison, and the clear evidence of decades and decades of PSAA Presidents getting an auto- launch to be Trustee and even a short path to be chair of the Board, while our Trustees are not allowed to even chair a committee just screamed out at me. Our elected Trustees deserve fair treatment.

You got the impression he was like "superman", who could do anything, including taking a game over all by himself like against Texas A&M in I believe his last bowl game. Has anyone else come close to this "freakish" athleticism?

No doubt he can fill you in on the plane with a banner and a lot of other things.

I am interested in what they have hidden in there. I would love to hear serious theories about what specifically is in these files that they would be devastated to have revealed. Maybe someone here actually knows what is in there. Real knowledge would be very welcome. Thanks.

in Paterno lawsuit.

Up 7-4 at halftime over #2 ranked North Carolina

The game is on espn3.

We were down 3-1 to start, and switched some thing up defensibly to come storming back. The N. C. goalie has a hard time stopping high shots, but she blocks a lot of low ones.

Johnny Carson was my parents generation; SNL was my siblings generation; The Late Show was MY generation (strated in 1982).

Haven't watched it in a while. But, it was MUST WATCH TV back in the day.

...characters will still remain, though.

Started golf league last night and as usual after a few beers everything but golf being discussed. Last night the discussion with a couple veteran alumni was bars in state college. Can't remember name of bar that was off Beaver Ave. but had to enter from parking lot. Rustic atmosphere. the 4 of us drank a lot but couldn't remember name. Thanks in advance.

No you can't see the Freeh files you bunch of leakers.

“That connection that Penn Staters have, in particular the alumni but also those who adopt Penn State as their own, should be the envy of all colleges and universities in the country,”



"And we will do everything in our power to destroy it".

Good morning- Has anyone ever done disney at Christmas? Thinking about surprising our family with a trip leaving christmas morning, rather then doing a bunch of gifts. Feedback appreciated.

I'll be in Plainsboro NJ all week for training at Corporate. Do any of you have any recommendations for dinner in the area? I'm not looking for chains, and the more affordable the better. Dives are fine, as long as the food is legit. Thanks in advance.

Did not see this posted, they exonerate Joe...

Two key prosecutors in the Jerry Sandusky trial tell their story to 60 Minutes Sports, speaking out for the first time about their investigations.

They claim Penn State obstructed justice for years but add there's "no evidence" to suggest that former football coach Joe Paterno was involved in a cover up.

The interview with former chief deputy attorney general Frank Fina and lead prosecutor Joseph P. McGettigan III is scheduled to air on 60 Minutes Sports on Showtime at 10 p.m. Wednesday. A segment was broadcast on CBS News Tuesday evening.

Fina says he didn't realize at first what was happening at Penn State.

Fina says, "You have a massive multi-billion dollar entity, that at the time we don't realize -- but we would come to realize it -- may not be fully committed to disclosing what the reality is ... we come to realize they were actively obstructing our investigation." Fina goes on to say that the obstruction of evidence went on for many years.

Former Penn State president Graham Spanier, retired senior vice president Gary Schultz and former athletic director Tim Curley allegedly covered up Jerry Sandusky's sexual abuse of young boys to protect the university's reputation.

All three men are charged with perjury, obstruction of justice and endangering the welfare of children and are awaiting trial.

All of them are strongly proclaiming their innocence.

The Freeh Report, commissioned by Penn State, found that Spanier, Curley and Schultz concealed information about Sandusky's child abuse.

"Now they're going to be tried on that... But I investigated that case, they deserved to be charged, and I hope justice will be served there." Fina says.

Fina and McGettigan say they were "astonished" by the alleged cover up of serial child sex abuse.

McGettigan explained the administrators' thinking this way, "Some of the thinking on the simplest level ... 'Well that was then, that was Jerry Sandusky or someone else. This is now. Let's move on, We are Penn State."

Asked if he thought Paterno was involved in a cover up, Fina said, "I did not find that evidence."

"I don't see any need to judge him beyond his own words. He (Paterno) said it best," says Fina, "He said: 'I didn't do enough... I should have done more.'"

In a statement released in November of 2011, Paterno said, "This is a tragedy. It is one of the great sorrows of my life. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more.”

In his last interview with Washington Post reporter Sally Jenkins, in January 2012, Paterno said, “I didn’t know exactly how to handle it and I was afraid to do something that might jeopardize what the university procedure was. So I backed away and turned it over to some other people, people I thought would have a little more expertise than I did. It didn’t work out that way.”

I was there in the early 70's. I spent a lot of time downstairs to watch the amazing electric model train set-ups and even more amazing were the table tennis players who would play there regularly. I thought I was hot sh-t at table tennis until I saw these guys playing off the table by what seemed like 5-10 feet at times! I therefore, took my talents to the dorms tables and became fairly good there!

long story short- they put in a hot water heater for me. Did a good job but pricey - $1900.00- I was in a hurry. After the fact I remembered I had a service contract on the old unit. Called the insurance company that held the service contract and they said they would reimburse me the labor. Had to take the actual unit back to Home Depot and got a prorated reimbursement for that. Not looking at the Horizon invoice I sent it to the insurance company. It was rejected because the labor and materials were not broken out. 8 calls and 4 people later I am told over and over again that they just can't do that. I'm out several hundred because they have a secret way of pricing their jobs. The last guy even said he doesn't know how they could that. Very shady- beware.

VirginiaSports.com. Team is playing Johns Hopkins in first round of NCAA tournament. Game starts at 4 pm.

The only say "one-on-one" time I really ever had with Joe was about 20 years ago when my son and I were walking from the Lasch building into mid-campus. My son and I were walking in the evening and no-one was around, and as we turned the corner, here came Joe Paterno right at us. We said "Hi Joe". He turned, looked at us and said, " Hi, how are you fellows doing". Now I know this was not a major 1 on 1 dialogue, but it has stuck in both my son's and my mind for all these years. It also helped my son decide that he too would go to Penn State. It is amazing that such a chance, brief meeting was so impactful in our lives. Was this the God-like football culture that Freeh portrayed amongst Penn Staters? Call it what you want, but Joe was a great man, and I will always defend Joe as long as I have to!

The good news: Light beer sales share is declining.
The bad news, these are the top selling beers in US in 2014:
1. Bud Light $6.1B
2. Coors Light $2.2B
3. Bud $2.1B
4. Miller Lite $1.9B
5. Corona $1.3B
6. Natural Lite $1.1B
7. Mich Ultralight $.9B
8. Busch Lite $.8B
9. Modelo $.7B
10. Heineken $.7B
So in top 10, 6 light "beers", 3 semi-light "beers" and one European beer that is usually stale by the time it reaches the US.
No wonder Yuengling (at # 20) is considered a "craft beer".

It's on ESPN3 but I can't get past the "buffering". I checked GameTracker.
