Paterno’s reign in Happy Valley done GETTY IMAGES

Ouster by university trustees comes after two days of growing criticism Governing body said his departure ‘not an easy decision’ Penn State University’s governing body ousted legendary coach Joe Paterno last night along with university President Graham Spanier, ending Paterno’s 46-year reign in Happy Valley.

“It was not an easy decision,” board of trustees Vice Chairman John Surma said last night shortly after 10 p.m. “In our view, things had reached a point that a change was necessary in the long interest of the university.”

Riot police were dispatched to the university’s main campus in State College in anticipation of students’ reaction to Paterno ouster. For the last couple days, students publicly supported Paterno on and nearby the campus.

Hundreds spent hours outside Paterno’s home off campus Monday and Tuesday.

JoePa’s firing comes after a day of growing criticism about the university’s silence on the coach’s future. Paterno said in a statement earlier in the day that he would stay on for the rest of the season, then retire.

While ESPN's Jay Bilas

Quoted

“My goals now are to keep my commitments to my players and staff and finish the season with dignity and determination.

And then I will spend the rest of my life doing everything I can to help this university.”

President out The university’s governing board also voted out Penn State’s president of 16 years, Graham Spanier.

Speculation about his replacement included former Gov. Tom Ridge.

“I am personally disappointed in the lack of action. And I had to contain that for the last two-plus years. The board is going to address that.”

said earlier yesterday on the sports network, "It's inconceivable to me that they could continue in their current position," fellow college sports analysts like Kirk Herbstreit said that kicking out Paterno and his staff before the end of the season would be unfair to the young athletes on the team.

Assistant coach Tom Bradley will take over for the rest of the year, the trustees said.

Video released of ‘odd’ Society Hill shooting Upscale neighborhood is unfamiliar with gunfire Police still unsure of motive in Pine Street attack New details have emerged about the street-fightturned-shooting in Society Hill Monday night, as police released surveillance footage and the victim, 46, who remains hospitalized in critical but stable condition, is now able to communicate with investigators by squeezing their hands.

Evers said that there does not appear to have been enough time for words to have been exchanged before the first punch was thrown. “As you can see from the video, it happened almost spontaneously,” he said.

Vince Fumo expected to speak in defense A bearded Fumo sat in the courtroom in a green prison jumpsuit with his hair somewhat disheveled. He occasionally nodded to family and friends, while also conferring several times with defense attorneys.

Fumo is expected to speak on his behalf today before Buckwalter imposes a new sentence. A ruling could come by this afternoon. METRO/SDL

ADULTS

First day of resentencing hearing included medical testimony about health Return includes new beard Federal prosecutors in the resentencing of convicted ex-Sen. Vince Fumo yesterday tried to paint a picture of a man who continues to lie to suit his needs.

Fumo was sentenced to 55 months in prison in July 2009 after he was convicted of defrauding the state Senate, the Citizens Alliance, and Independence Seaport Museum out of millions of dollars, but an appeals court tossed out the sentence by U.S. District Court Judge Ronald Buckwalter. Prosecutors want the sentence increased to 18 years, while Fumo’s defense is pushing for the same sentence.

POST YOUR COMMENTS: WWW.METRO.US/PHL

Testimony yesterday largely focused on Fumo’s health and his application for a drug treatment program at the Ashland, Ky., prison where he’s confined.

Dr. John Manenti, regional medical director for the Bureau of Prisons, testified that Fumo’s overall health has been stable despite serious medical conditions.

“He’s done quite well,” Manenti said of Fumo’s improvement with anxiety attacks and renal failure.

BRACES

CHILDREN

Assistant U.S. Attorney Robert Zauzmer also claimed that Fumo applied for residential drug abuse treatment in order to get a reduced sentence. He pointed to several letters written

by Fumo’s physicians after he was sentenced that referred to prescription drug and alcohol abuse — problems that were not mentioned before sentencing.

Defense attorneys argue that Fumo was addicted to painkillers before his arrest and applied to the program to get help.

Can Cain overcome the stain?

Republican Herman Cain will likely try to move past an escalating sexual harassment controversy during an evening presidential debate on economic issues held in the hard-hit manufacturing state of Michigan.

The debate will be a homecoming for Cain’s rival Mitt Romney, who was born in Michigan and hopes to consolidate his status as the candidate to beat in the Republican race to choose a 2012 challenger to President Barack Obama.

The economic focus is likely to limit discussion of the harassment allegations by four women against Cain, which threaten to derail the former pizza exec-

Comedian Eddie Murphy bowed out yesterday as host of the upcoming Oscars, one day after producer Brett Ratner who had lured Murphy into the role also exited following an uproar from his use of a gay slur.

“I appreciate how Eddie feels about losing his creative partner, Brett Ratner, and we all wish him well,” Tom Sherak, president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which puts on the Oscars, said in a statement.

On Tuesday, Ratner resigned from the high-profile job as Oscar producer in the face of an industry firestorm after his answer to a question at a screening

Ratner was asked about using rehearsals ahead of the film shoot, and he

replied “rehearsing is for fags.” He later apologized publicly, but gay rights groups and some members of the academy took issue with his use of the slur.

“First and foremost, I want to say that I completely understand and support each party’s decision with regard to a change of producers for this year’s Academy Awards ceremony,” Murphy said in a statement.

“I was truly looking forward to being a part of the show that our production team and writers were just starting to develop, but I’m sure that the new production team and host will do an equally great job,” Murphy said. REUTERS

JANUVIA (jah-NEW-vee-ah) should not be used in patients with type 1 diabetes or with diabetic ketoacidosis (increased ketones in the blood or urine). If you have had pancreatitis (inďŹ&#x201A;ammation of the pancreas), it is not known if you have a higher chance of getting it while taking JANUVIA. Selected Risk Information About JANUVIA: Serious side effects can happen in people who take JANUVIA, including pancreatitis, which may be severe and lead to death. Before you start taking JANUVIA, tell your doctor if youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve ever had pancreatitis. Stop taking JANUVIA and call your doctor right away if you have pain in your stomach area (abdomen) that is severe and will not go away. The pain may be felt going from your abdomen through to your back. The pain may happen with or without vomiting. These may be symptoms of pancreatitis.

Do not take JANUVIA if you are allergic to any of its ingredients, including sitagliptin. Symptoms of serious allergic reactions to JANUVIA, including rash, hives, and swelling of the face, lips, tongue, and throat that may cause difďŹ culty breathing or swallowing, can occur. If you have any symptoms of a serious allergic reaction, stop taking JANUVIA and call your doctor right away.

Kidney problems, sometimes requiring dialysis, have been reported.

If you take JANUVIA with another medicine that can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia), such as a sulfonylurea or insulin, your risk of getting low blood sugar is higher. The dose of your sulfonylurea medicine or insulin may need to be lowered while you use JANUVIA. Signs and symptoms of low blood sugar may include headache, drowsiness, weakness, dizziness, confusion, irritability, hunger, fast heart beat, sweating, and feeling jittery.

Your doctor may do blood tests before and during treatment with JANUVIA to see how well your kidneys are working. Based on these results, your doctor may change your dose of JANUVIA. The most common side effects of JANUVIA are upper respiratory tract infection, stuffy or runny nose and sore throat, and headache.

any other country, the United States practically stands alone when it comes to people with illness or chronic conditions having difficulty affording health

care and paying medical bills,” Commonwealth Fund president Karen Davis said in a statement.

“This is a clear indication of the urgent need for Affordable Care Act reforms geared toward improving coverage and controlling health care costs.”

The 2011 telephone survey included people who said they were in fair or poor health, those who had surgery in the prior two years, or those who had been treated for a serious illness or injury in the prior year. It found that 42 percent of the 1,200 U.S. adults with health problems in the survey went without care because of costs. REUTERS

Chronically sick Americans lag behind in access to and payment of health care We spend more, though Americans who have a chronic illness or serious health problems are more likely to struggle to pay their medical bills or have problems getting needed care than adults with similar problems in other highincome countries, a survey released yesterday found.

The poll of more than 18,000 adults in the United States and 10 other highincome countries found that Americans were most likely to have problems getting needed care because of the cost, or to have medical debt, according to data released by the Commonwealth Fund.

The document says that Wal-Mart sought to become “the largest provider of primary health care services in the nation.”

The retailer yesterday said that formal document sent to vendors, known as a “request for information,” was “overwritten and incorrect.”

THE WORD

Metro’s Dorothy Robinson shares her take on the world of gossip

Talking points The feed ...

Checking in with some of Hollywood’s biggest names to see what they’ve been up to — in their own words, in 140 characters or fewer.

Today, Justin Bieber is looking ahead, Nathan Fillion is a man on a mission, Mindy Kaling is heading to the movies and Seth MacFarlane isn’t convinced. @justinbieber so this past week and even today every rumor and lie about me possible has been coming out in the press. Just need to ignore it. @NathanFillion I am determined to find out what @jimmyfallon smells like. A few guesses: Cotton Candy Old Spice Old cotton candy, spiced. @mindykaling I think I’m excited for Jack & Jill because it seems like one of those movie parody trailers from Tropic Thunder @SethMacFarlane I can’t buy the Superfriends. The “super” part is believable, but no way they’re genuinely friends.

Though they’ve yet to file for divorce more than a year after separating, David Arquette says his marriage to Courteney Cox is definitely over.

When pressed by Howard Stern during a radio interview if he would break up with new girlfriend Christina McLarty and move back in with Cox if she asked, Arquette gave a simple “no.” And while Stern has previously gotten plenty of information out of Arquette, the recent “Dancing with the Stars” contestant is looking to stay more tightlipped going forward: “I’m trying to keep my personal life personal,” he says. “It’s very hard for me because I’m a very honest person.”

Town is warned about Harry Prince Harry has moved on to Gila Bend, Ariz., for the final leg of his helicopter training in the U.S. — and his reputation has apparently preceded him. “We have some very pretty girls here,” Gila Bend Mayor Ron Henry tells the Daily Mail. “Some of the dads won’t take too kindly to a prince fornicating the night away and drinking into the small hours. It is a very quiet town with a lot of good Christian people. This isn’t a party town.” And yes, he said “fornicating.”

Move over, Bertinelli J

enny Craig attracts, let’s say, “midlevel” celebs to be their spokespeople. Sara Rue, Valerie Bertinelli, Phylicia Rashad and Jason Alexander are among those who have been paid handsomely to shill the company. But they must have paid buckets of cash to afford their latest spokeswoman, Mariah Carey.

The company’s big celeb get was revealed yesterday at New York City’s Four Seasons. Carey arrived 20 minutes late to the conference and was escorted all the way to the stage to what we thought would be to take questions from reporters, which is why we were there. Instead, she was just interviewed by Gayle King about her involvement with Jenny Craig, which, by the way, is now just called “Jenny.”

Carey says she started Jenny in July and has lost 30 pounds so far. She told King she was approached by three different weight loss companies while pregnant but picked Jenny because she clicked with the people. “Some other suitors have great money, have great ... whatever it is that their concepts are — I didn’t really connect with the people, and this was only over the phone at first. The first time I spoke

“Like all day every day when I was pregnant, [I was] in the bath, with a towel, seriously, doing business calls, talking to lawyers with water splashing.”

CAREY

with the executors at Jenny it was like we really clicked.”

But Carey didn’t discuss the diet exclusively: We also learned little personal tidbits about her, like the fact that she enjoys taking business calls while in the bath-

tub. “Like all day every day when I was pregnant, [I was] in the bath, with a towel, seriously, doing business calls, talking to lawyers with water splashing,” she revealed. “[My trainer] Bernardo and I were doing exercises mainly in the water.” As she demo’ed some of her aquatic moves, she made sure to look good in the process: “Let me do it a more elegantly for the photo — please don’t get a bad angle.”

Carey says that she was so embarrassed by her pregnant body that she never went naked. Anywhere. “I was never nude. I had a towel on in the tub, I had clothing on in the tub,” she told King. “I’m not lying. You think I would let Nick see me looking rancid like that?”

Rancid? One thing’s for sure: Mariah Carey will not becoming the spokesman for Earth Mothers International anytime soon.

Mariah doesn’t own a scale, and the last time she weighed herself was when her single “My All” was out.

Her twins have a website, www.dembabies.com.

She bought an ultrasound machine during her pregnancy.

The conference room was decked out with mood lighting, a white fur rug and white leather chairs.

She has a penchant for using the word “dahhling.”

She actually does the twocheek air-kiss. Really! Like you would expect any less.

NOEL

Elder Gallagher on why his solo debut won’t be caught beneath the landslide of Oasis Also says that if Liam were your brother, ‘you wouldn’t talk to him either’

In the summer of 1996, Oasis were at the peak of their career. The Gallagher brothers had been declared legends, and in front of the castle Knebworth they were crowning their success with the biggest double concert ever in the United Kingdom — in front of 250,000 fans.

Fifteen years later Oasis have split up, brothers Liam and Noel only communicate through their lawyers and they have separate music careers. Liam has Beady Eye, and last month Noel released “Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds,” his first solo album.

“F—in’ hell,” Noel swears and sighs while flipping through messages on his

Quoted

“When I close my eyes I can’t see it.

And when I listen to my soul I don’t want it.”

GALLAGHER ON AN OASIS REUNION

phone. “You can start asking your questions now.”

Before the 1996 castle concert, Noel answered questions sitting on a throne. Now Metro meets him slouching in a beige sofa; an aging icon, and a father of three.

He has been talking to the media all day, and looks tired.

Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds

This is your first solo album.

How has it been different recording “Noel Gallagher’s High Flying Birds” compared to working with Oasis?

Friday, 8 p.m.

Academy of Music Broad and Locust streets $25-$60, 215-731-3333 www.academyofmusic.org

I guess you can imagine the differences. It used to be five guys who were painting, now I’ve been alone with the brush.

If you go

Noel says recording his first solo album felt like recording the first Oasis album.

What’s the biggest difference writing songs at 30, compared to when you’re 44? Have the lyrics and the music changed?

The circumstances in my life have absolutely changed — I have three kids now. And a cat. But no, I don’t think it has affected my song writing. I don’t write songs about my amazing kids — that would be a pretty boring album. I hope that whoever listens should see something of themselves in my songs.

You have said that the recording of this album reminded you of the time when you made “Definitely Maybe.”

The similarities are that this is my first solo album and that was Oasis’ first album.

The excitement about the unknown is the same, I think. We didn’t have an audience then — and I don’t have an audience now.

How are things between you and brother Liam?

We haven’t spoken in two years.

How does that feel? He is your brother after all?

But he isn’t your brother.

And if he were, you wouldn’t talk to him either.

Will there ever be an Oasis reunion?

I doubt it. When I close my eyes I can’t see it. And, when I listen to my soul I don’t want it.

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a part thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s catapulted her to fame in the States, meaning more people recognizing her in public â&#x20AC;&#x201D; unless she keeps quiet. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As long as I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t speak, Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m safe,â&#x20AC;? she says in her distinct Colombian accent, which is only slightly exaggerated for the show.

How important is it that your character is Colombian? And what do you think about the jokes about Colombia featured in the show?

I love it, I think itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fantastic and everybody loves it. You know, Colombians, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get offended. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not like the writers are inventing things about Colombia, you know? Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a reality,

Do you like what the writers have done with Gloria?

For them to write for a hot Latin woman, I thought it was going to be a problem, but theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re great. At the beginning I was worried.

How are they going to know how a Latin woman thinks? They even write my mispronunciations now. They know me so well. Usually they write, â&#x20AC;&#x153;And Gloria says something in Spanish,â&#x20AC;? and they let me say whatever I want, you know? Theyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re not going to tell me what to say in Spanish.

And of course I say something that I think is funny.

How does Gloriaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relationship with Manny compare to your relationship with your own son?

DRAMA. Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s more believable â&#x20AC;&#x201D; that Elena and co. will defeat the all-powerful vampire/werewolf hybrid Klaus, or that My Morning Jacket would play the Mystic Falls homecoming dance? (Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re guessing the latter.) Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the mid-season finale, so with that kind of supernatural showdown in the works, expect this hour to end on a cliffhanger.

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really know because every episode is a little story, so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to write the thread out until the end. I know what we have filmed these past two months. Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a

Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very similar. I mean, my son is older now â&#x20AC;&#x201D; heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s 20 years old. But itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s very similar. He was always like an old soul. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s funny because sometimes Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll watch my show with my son and he just looks at me like, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Did you tell them that?â&#x20AC;? I love when [people think] heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s my brother. He hates it, he wants to throw up in front of the people.

ideo games and dancing go together like chocolate and anchovies, yet games that make us do the truffle shuffle in front of family and friends have been selling like gangbusters. Titles like “Just Dance” and “Dance Central” perch atop the sales charts like wellchoreographed pigeons.

Here are two more — “Dance Central 2” for the Xbox 360 Kinect and “Everybody Dance” for PS3 Move — vying to cut a rug into our wallets.

Five 1 reasons to go to the movies this weekend

‘Immortals’ Critics have been buzzing that the director of “The Cell” and the man behind one of the two new Snow White remakes, Tarsem Singh, has a fun hit on his hands with this tale of a man (Henry Cavill) chosen by Zeus to fight against King Hyperion’s quest to find the ultimate weapon of mass destruction.

‘Dance Central 2’

life is the way you dance on your TV. See? Magic.

This would be a lowly tech demo if there wasn’t a good game to back it up.

Thankfully, there is.

“Dance Central 2” ups the ante with more songs, more challenges and, finally, simultaneous multiplayer support. Now you can settle that age-old dispute between friends as to who would fare best in a dance battle. Hey, whatever floats your boat.

Console: Xbox 360 Kinect Microsoft Grade:

The game that managed to outpace Wii Sports in the “your co-worker that hates video games inexplicably loves this” contest is back for a second helping. Thanks to the magical elves lurking in the Kinect, this sequel follows where the first title left off. Specifically, the way you dance in real

‘J. Edgar’ Though Clint Eastwood’s latest effort may not shine like some of his previous films, this biopic about the first head of the FBI is fascinating — if only for the way it makes Leo DiCaprio look fat and decrepit.

3

‘Jack and Jill’ Isn’t it just the pinnacle of a comic actor’s career when they get to play multiple lead characters? Just ask Eddie Murphy how “Norbit” went down. In this film, Adam Sandler plays a man faced with some unwanted quality time with his annoying twin sister.

‘Everybody Dance’ Console: PS3 Move Sony Grade:

It’s about time Sony and their Wii-esque wand attachment got a great dancing game. The device is called the Move, after all. “Everybody Dance” uses the power of the PlayStation Eye in tandem with the controller to create something that is close to the level of full body motion control seen

It’s still really fun though. This game brings some cool bells and whistles to the table. Each track features several difficulty levels and comes equipped with the official music video.

According to the Congressional Budget Office, from 1979 to 2007, average household income for the nation’s top 1 percent more than tripled while middle-class incomes grew by less than 40 percent. E. LOPEZ, VIA E-MAIL Mr. Golfman either hasn’t had to job hunt in the last decade, or he’s being paid to write this drivel.

Scorpio Oct. 24-Nov. 22. Being domineering can lead to complications with those who share your day.

It can be particularly destructive if you encounter someone who is a trifle more forceful than you.

Sagittarius Nov. 23-Dec. 21. Even if it causes you some major inconvenience, don’t let down those who are depending upon you. Meet your obligations like a responsible person.

Capricorn Dec. 22-Jan. 19. Don’t coerce a friend to agree with you when you know that she or he isn’t in accord with your thinking. It does nothing but cause your pal to resent being put in that position.

Aquarius Jan. 20-Feb. 19. An important goal can be achievable when you get past all your doubt and inadequacy. If you want to win, you must think in terms of victory.

Otherwise failure takes over.

Pisces Feb. 20-March 20. If experience has taught you that a certain topic agitates a friend, stay off of it or refuse to engage if another brings it up. Failing to do so could cause a nasty dust-up.

Aries March 21-April 19. Be on your toes, because someone who knows how to manipulate your generous nature could hijack your finances.

Whiskey Fest barrels into town

The annual celebration will feature tastings of more than 200 varieties of the hard stuff Master distiller Lincoln Henderson on the joys of Kentucky bourbon After nearly four decades as master distiller for the Brown-Forman Corporation, overseeing namebrand bourbons Woodford Reserve and Old Forester, Lincoln Henderson was looking forward to a peaceful retirement. That dream ended when his son Wesley approached him with the idea of starting up their own distillery operation.

“I told him he was stupid,” Henderson recalls in his warm Kentucky drawl.

"But he went ahead with it, the whiskey became mature, we put it in port barrels for about six months, and now we have Angel’s Envy.”

Angel’s Envy, which Henderson has referred to as his “life’s work,” will be one of more than 200 spirits available for tasting at the eighth annual Philadelphia Whiskey Festival, where the distiller himself will be on hand, as will Fred Noe, great-grandson of Jim Beam, who will be signing bottles of the family business’ Devil’s Cut

The festival will feature tastings of scotch, tequila, gin, rum and vodka, but Henderson sticks by his own personal passion.

“Bourbon is the American product,” he says. “It was born in the U.S. and can only be made in the U.S., and to me it’s the most complicated whiskey. I’ve really had a lot of pleasure working with whiskeys.”

What’s your favorite nightlife place in Philly?

I like Buddakan.

What is it about that place that appeals to you?

It’s mellow, laid-back and it’s really a classy restaurant, and it’s good if you want to go hang out and have a chill, quiet night.

What do you usually order there?

I order the chicken dish, which all depends on what they have that night.

music ALICIA ROSE

Indie rock, classic 1960s soul and sweaty energy all meet up in Fitz and the Tantrums More fans are ‘Pickin’ Up the Pieces’ as the LA six-piece graduate to larger venues

E

verything about Michael Fitzpatrick is befitting of a man who fronts a band called Fitz and the Tantrums. In performance, he’s a dancing machine, and in conversation he’s quick with a quip and prone to emotional reactions.

“Nobody gives anybody in rock ’n’ roll s— for being in the 10 millionth rock band,” he says when the topic arises of other contemporary soul-influenced acts like Mayer Hawthorne, Sharon Jones and the DapKings and Eli “Paperboy” Reed. Fitzpatrick has only kind words for his peers, and he’s keen to point out that within the genre, “everyone’s doing their own thing.” As far as Fitz and the Tantrums are concerned, that’s certainly true.

“We don’t adhere to the form as rigidly as some of these other artists do, and I love their music. That’s just not what we wanted to do,” he says. “We wanted to do something that was more of a hybrid. We just weren’t afraid to let something that felt like it was outside of the character of soul music make its way onto the record.”

What’s immediately ap-

parent from the band’s 2010 debut, “Pickin’ Up the Pieces,” is its kinetic energy.

Instruments interlock without intruding upon each other, and Fitzpatrick and co-singer Noelle Scaggs both constantly move in the center of it all. He dresses like Don Draper and sings like an angrier Daryl Hall, and she has the style and harmonic capabilities of all of the Supremes in one.

“From the very first show, we started moving around, because the music was making us dance,” says Fitzpatrick. “And very early on, Noelle and I started to push each other. And now it’s to the point where she and I just do not stand still for one heartbeat. And when you’re in a hot, sweaty little dance club, I soak my suit through every single night.”

Everything

Fitz and the Tantrums are, from left, Scaggs, keyboardist Jeremy Ruzumna, drummer John Wicks, Fitzpatrick, bassist Ethan Phillips and sax player James King.

Tender tantrums Though Fitzpatrick seems to just ooze soul, he says his first exposure to music was actually not rock or soul music.

A lot can go wrong with a cupcake. Too dry, too dense, too sweet, too covered in a sugary mess of a frosting: There are plenty of examples hiding under cute glass domes in boutique bakeries across the city because, well, baking is a tough cookie.

At a recent session of her “Oh, You Bake” classes, professional baker and confessed flour nerd Adriane Appleby began by discussing all of these problems, with the disclaimer, “Stop me if you get bored.” None of her students took her up

on the offer, instead soaking up tips for everything from evenly cooked cakes (change racks and rotate two-thirds of the way through) to perfectly separated egg whites (crack those babies in a bowl, then grab the yolks out by hand).

Like all of the classes, the $50 cost of cupcake bootcamp included ingredients, the use of Green Line Cafe’s kitchen, copies of the recipes and a couple dozen treats to tote home (which you can totally pretend you decorated all on your own).

Players in shock as Paterno’s reign ends Penn State coach had planned to retire at end of season Last home game of year is on Saturday

Joe Paterno was fired from the Penn State sideline yesterday during his 46th season as head coach at the university.

Paterno earlier in the day said he would retire at the end of the season. While many media types had called for the head coach to tender his resignation immediately, his players — the ones still in contention for a

Big Ten championship — wanted him to stay.

Yesterday, they gave Paterno a standing ovation after he informed the team of his decision to retire. The 84-year-old broke down in tears.

“I never thought I’d hear those words coming from Joe Paterno’s mouth,” said fullback Michael Zordich, whose father played under

disgraced defensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky. “I don’t believe he’s stepping down solely because of this.

The power that he has, to be that selfless, and put this program in front of him and try to clear the program’s name, it’s unbelievable to me and I can’t even tell you how much respect I have for that man.”

The Nittany Lions play their last home game of the season against No. 19 Nebraska. Many students had rallied around the coach, who with his thick, blackrimmed glasses and blue windbreaker, has been the face of Penn State football for generations.

“This is a tragedy. With the benefit of hindsight, I wish I had done more,” Paterno said in a statement earlier in the day. “My goals now are to keep my commitments to my players and staff and finish the season with dignity and determination. And then I will spend the rest of my life doing everything I can to help this university.” METRO/REUTERS

End of an era for Penn State

THE DEAL: Longtime and legendary head football coach Joe Paterno has decided to call it a career, amid mounting pressure following a shocking sex abuse scandal and coverup. Here’s a trip down memory lane: Sept. 17, 1966 Paterno wins first game as head coach, a 15-7 win over Maryland. He was a 16-year assistant coach.

Jan. 1, 1969 After a last-second TD and two-point conversion, Penn State caps JoePa’s first of back-to-back undefeated seasons.

Jan. 1, 1979 Nittany Lions entered the Sugar Bowl as the favorites, but lost to Alabama, 14-7. Paterno’s decision to go it for on fourth-and-goal from the 1-foot line is often debated.

27

Jan. 1, 1983 Nits defeat top-ranked Georgia 27-23 in the Sugar Bowl to give Paterno his first national title.

Jan. 2, 1987 No. 2 Penn State shocks powerhouse Miami in a 14-10 win in the Fiesta Bowl for second national title. Jerry Sandusky is credited with a masterful defensive game plan.

Jan. 2, 1995 A 38-20 Rose Bowl victory makes JoePa only coach to win the Rose, Sugar, Cotton and Orange bowls.

May 16, 2006 Paterno is enshrined in the College Football Hall of Fame.

Oct. 29, 2011 Just a few weeks ago, Penn State beats Illinois, as Paterno passes Eddie Robinson and becomes winningest coach in Division I history with 409.

Newest Eagle weighs in on Penn St. sex scandal GETTY IMAGES

The Penn State scandal has filtered all the way into the Eagles’ locker room.

Brett Brackett, the newest member of the team’s practice squad and proud Penn State alum, was immediately swarmed yesterday by reporters.

Shockingly, none of them wanted to hear about his new job.

Brackett, who caught 39 balls for 525 yards last season as a senior captain, shared his thoughts on the sex scandal rocking his alma mater.

“First and foremost, my thoughts and prayers go out to the families of the victims, which is something you can never imagine having to deal with,” he said.

Brackett said he hasn’t

Brackett played four years under Joe Paterno at Penn State.

been following the case too closely, as he tries to learn the Eagles’ playbook, and never had any contact with disgraced former de-

fensive coordinator Jerry Sandusky.

“I went about my business, and he didn’t really come across my path,”

Brackett said.

However, he did share his opinion on his former coach, Joe Paterno, who announced his retirement after 46 seasons patrolling the Penn State sideline.

“Everybody has their time. My grandfather constantly says that nobody gets out of this world without ends,” said Brackett.

“So whether it’s an end to your career, end to your life, things come to an end.

Obviously, it’ll be a sad day for that to happen, but it happens to everybody.”

As Brackett was concluding his comments one Eagle streaked by and shouted, “It’s wrong, Paterno. It’s wrong.”

Next man up: Mathis out, DRC playing with â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;chipâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Dunlap to start for injured left guard, Allen still out with concussion Rodgers-Cromartie ready for old team Looking to step up his game PHOTO CREDIT

The Eagles, at least most of them, were back on the practice field yesterday as the team prepares to host the Arizona Cardinals.

Starting left guard Evan Mathis is dealing with turf toe and didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t practice, according to the teamâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s official injury report. King Dunlap took the first-team reps and expects to start Sunday. â&#x20AC;&#x153;As far as I know I will be [starting],â&#x20AC;? Dunlap said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know how severe Evanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s injury is, but as of right now I am. So Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m guarding it up this week.â&#x20AC;?

Meanwhile, starting safety Nate Allen missed practice as he continues to go through the concussion

protocol. If Allen canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t suit up, rookie Jaiquawn Jarrett is expected to get the nod.

The Eagles havenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t played the Cardinals since losing to them in the 2008 NFC championship game.

Eagles cornerback Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie was a member of that Arizona team, but the nostalgia is over. Remember, the Cardinals sent him packing for Kevin Kolb. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve got a bit of a chip on my shoulder since the Cardinals were the team

that decided to trade me,â&#x20AC;?

Rodgers-Cromartie said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;But Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m not going to let it affect my play. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be nice to see some of my old teammates and friends, but at the end of the day itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s business.â&#x20AC;?

Rodgers-Cromartie was targeted frequently in last weekâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s loss to Chicago and looked out of sorts playing in the slot. He has yet to record an interception. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I feel like Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m still thinking too much when Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;m on the field,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Whenever youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing that, youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re playing slower.â&#x20AC;?
