Margaret Grey was hosting a “reception for the Chinese ambassador” at her home while she talked with Phil about the Penn State situation. “If anyone did to my son, Jason Jay Delmonico, what happened to those other children, seasoned homicide investigators wouldn’t stop throwing up after seeing what I did to the guy.” But Margaret did say that “if the perpetrator were ‘JoePa’ I’d have to take a step back and give it 48 hours to figure out what my next move should be. He is Italian.”

Heavy metal veterans Black Sabbath have announced they are reuniting, more than three decades after the release of their last studio album.
In a much-hyped appearance at Hollywood’s Whisky A Go Go club on Friday , the band’s original line-up told an ecstatic gathering of fans they would be bringing out their first new studio album in 33 years in 2012. As well as the record, to be produced by Rick Rubin, the band will also be embarking on a worldwide tour after headlining Download Festival in their native Midlands next year.
Ozzy Osbourne joined fellow sexagenarians Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler and Bill Ward at the venue where the band made their Los Angeles debut in 1970, to address a large, black-t-shirt-clad crowd.
Metal Hammer magazine reported an “electric” atmosphere as the hour of the announcement approached.
The comeback sparked jubilation among fans, many of whom had long hoped to see the Birmingham rockers reunite.
James McMahon, editor of Kerrang! magazine, insisted the reunion did not represent just another bunch of old timers getting back together to cash in on their cult status, and predicted fans would feel the same way. “Metal fans can be the most cynical people in the world,” he said. “But the return of Black Sabbath – I don’t think anyone thinks that’s a bad thing.
“It’s different because they announced they’re making a record and that’s really exciting. It doesn’t feel weary in the way a lot of reunions of classic bands does.
“They are the Beatles of heavy metal. It all starts with Black Sabbath.”
Murmurs of a reunion circulated earlier this year following reports of secret rehearsals as well as album and touring plans. Iommi was quick to scotch the rumours, dismissing them as “speculation”, although not denying them outright.
Osbourne gave away more, however, when he told Billboard last month that a new Black Sabbath album was “a very, very strong possibility”.
The speculation reached fever pitch among the band’s legions of dedicated fans last Friday when it announced a “special event” planned for 11 November and its official website was updated with the 11-11-11 date.
Almost 18,800 Facebook users “liked” a picture posted on the band’s page showing a fresh logo with the palindromic date beneath it.
Before this event, the original four band members had not appeared together since their Rock and Roll Hall of Fame induction in 2006.
The last album they released together was 1978’s Never Say Die!
The heavy metal pioneers have sold more than 70 million albums since they formed in 1968 under the name Earth, a year before they adopted their current name.
From NY Daily News: Joe Paterno hires lawyer in case he ends up defendant in Penn State sex abuse civil suit..Click to read more

Joe Paterno (l.) hires J. Sedgwick “Wick” Sollers to defend him in case he is named a defendant in any possible civil suit resulting from the Penn State sex abuse case.
Joe Paterno hired a high-powered Washington lawyer to represent him Friday because, his son said, he wants to find the truth in the sex-abuse scandal enveloping Penn State University.
“My father’s desire is for the truth to be uncovered and he will work with his lawyers to that end,” said Scott Paterno, who confirmed that his father had hired J. Sedgwick “Wick” Sollers, who has represented former president George H.W. Bush in the past.
But legal experts wondered if he had begun to fear federal action in the case as well as Pennsylvania’s ongoing criminal investigation.

Vernon Dozier and Dave Oliva both brought their perspectives to the Penn State/Joe Paterno story. Vernon was worried that Paterno’s problems will paint all coaches as perverts and Oliva wants to know “what Patino knew and when did he know it.”
Report: Paterno Sought Criminal Defense Lawyer
(CBS/AP)
Embattled former Penn State coach Joe Paterno has contacted a criminal defense attorney in the child sex abuse case that has rocked the university, NBC News has reported.
A source told NBC that Paterno’s advisers Thursday reached out to J. Sedgwick Sollers, who had previously represented President George H.W. Bush. NBC said that the attorney has not met with the ex-coach and no retainer agreement has been formalized.
Paterno is not charged with any crimes in connection with the case, but was fired late Wednesday for his role, and said that he regretted not doing more after learning about allegations against ex-defensive coordinator Jerry Sandunsky.
Sollars offered no comment on Thursday and Paterno’s spokesman said via email that “no lawyer has been retained.” Paterno’s son, Scott, also wrote on Twitter Thursday evening: “To be clear, no lawyer has been retained. Not sure where that report originated.”

Paterno’s supporters run amok over firing
Source: Penn State told Paterno of firing by letter
Paterno has not been criminally charged in the child sex abuse case surrounding his former coach, Jerry Sandusky, and is reportedly viewed as a cooperating witness in the matter. He was fired as Penn State’s coach late Wednesday evening by the university’s trustees.
Paterno, along with the school, could still face trouble legally. “All of the officials involved in the scandal, including Paterno, could be sued in a civil case by the alleged victims and their families,” said CBS News legal analyst Andrew Cohen, “and if that happens, and the case doesn’t settle quickly, we’ll likely see a lot of finger-pointing between and among the defendants.”
Along with his job as head football coach at Penn State, Paterno may also lose a shot at the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom. Pennsylvania’s U.S. Sens. Pat Toomey, a Republican, and Bob Casey, a Democrat, said Thursday they are rescinding their support for Paterno’s nomination for the nation’s highest civilian honor, citing recent events at the school.
Republican Rep. Glenn Thompson also nominated Paterno earlier this year, but wouldn’t say Thursday whether he would also withdraw Paterno’s name.
The trio submitted Paterno’s name in September, citing his contributions to athletics and higher education.
Meanwhile, Penn State’s trip to the Alamo Bowl in 1999 has attracted the interest of Texas.
San Antonio police Sgt. Chris Benavides said Thursday his department is “looking into the possibility that an offense may have happened” while the football team was in town.
Sandusky faces child sex abuse charges in Pennsylvania. A grand jury report says Sandusky took one boy he allegedly molested to the game and threatened to send him home when the victim resisted his advances.
The Alamo Bowl was Sandusky’s last game at Penn State, where he coached for more than 30 years and was once the heir apparent to Joe Paterno.
