Nike has no plans to change the name of the Joe Paterno Center, a child day care facility on the World Headquarters Campus near Beaverton, in response to a sexual abuse scandal involving one of Paterno's former Penn State University assistants, a Nike spokeswoman said this evening.
The main campus also has a child care center named for Schultz, one of the administrators charged. It just opened a month or two ago.
Student body president addressing students now. "We are the ones that must restore glory to Penn State." And many many more repetitions of the "We are!" "Penn State!" cheer.
"We are the ones that must restore glory to Penn State."
What does that mean? Is that supporting the student protest and riots?
Among the things I know how to do are a) call 911 on behalf of a stranger and b) hit people. I don't know what I'd do on the spot, but I'd like to think rape is more of consent to get punched in the face than signing a krav contract. I just...I'd hate to imagine living being that person. Like any of them.
They should put off "glory" until they've mastered the basics of "right and wrong."

No, it's saying to quit rioting and act respectable, because somebody on this campus ought to.
Great tagline, Hec. Love that Soft Boys song.
(The Soft Boys was Robyn Hitchcock's band in the late '70s/early '80s.)
We haven't really been following the story, comparatively.
(And I don't really know who Paterno is, so it's weird to me watching grown-ass people act like they found out there's no Football Santa Claus.)
My mother wondered why the graduate student didn't "kick the assistant's ass", much less fail to call the law.
I mean, it's one thing to have That Employee(my mom has one at her job right now, and it's NFG) whom you sort of think might be...untoward in those kinds of ways, it's another to witness things.

I was also tempted by the "jewel encrusted hand" line. You get so many great images with Robyn.

It's such a weirdly entrenched and hierarchical culture that it would be like a deacon turning in a bishop, or a private blowing the whistle on a colonel.
