I was at Cedars Friday night and had a great time. I have been going there since the '80's. I go only a handful of times a year now. I'll miss it. It is a special place, but won't shed any tears. All things must pass. The building was underutilized so naturally the family could not afford the upkeep with only the bar making money in an otherwise empty building. As another poster pointed out, it would have been forced to close in a few years anyway due to maintenance issues. I believe it. Now with the sale of the building they no longer facing the massive repair bills or building closure that probably would have ended Cedars forever. Maybe they can relocate to another space downtown; that would be the only way to maintain the integrity of what Cedars was all about.
Hunting deer in season is legal; hunting dogs is not. Dogs are domesticated animals with a unique relationship to people going back thousands of years. Most importantly, those disturbed individuals who severly abuse animals are very likely to also abuse people.
Lena has written a letter filled with assumptions about a man she obviosuly has never met or even studied. She simply has no clue what she is saying. Several men of great stature and power, one being Paterno, let a pedophile go on raping on campus rather than risk the university's (and their own) reputations.
Paterno had the power to stop a pedophile and did nothing. Instead of living up to the high ideals he preached, chose to protect his own reputarion and the reputation of his university. That is now his sad legacy; as an enabler of a pedophile. Sad that a lifetime of good works will forever be overshadowed by a terrible self serving decision.
Hubres you are a disgrace to imply it is the parents fault but let Paterno off the hook because of the good things he did elsewhere in his life. Typical response from of a sycophant. Realize that most of the victims were too ashamed to tell anyone what happened. JoePa may have done much good in his life, but his huge mistake of ego allowed some innocent kids to be raped and that is indefensible. This is a lesson to us all about the abuse of power and avoiding the temptation to look the other way rather than take the hard road. Would Joe have ever allowed any of his players to make up lame excuses or take the easy way out? I doubt it.
The artical says arest not conviction. If there is probable cause then issue an arrest warrant. All the facts don't come out until later, like during an crimianl investigation and/or court proceedings. Saying 'wait until we have all the facts' just to make an arrest is nonsense.
Tebow had a good game but is far from being the next Roeth. He completed 10 passes yesterday, Give Denver's D and the receivers some credit. Not saying he has no chance, but one good game and everyone is jumping back on the wagon. If he lays an egg next week will they all jump back off? His style is going to be tough to maintain without injuries.

Attack on Paterno is unfair

4 jailed after tribute to Chardon victim ends with assault
It doesn't say these kids were in high school, only that they were friends with a deceased high school student.
