Jerry Sandusky indictment sparks questions about future of Penn State’s Joe Paterno

The surprize allegations of sexual abuse of minor boys by a former Penn State coach surfaces straight at the heart of the program legendary Coach Joe Paterno has led for 46 years.

Although Jerry Sandusky stands accused of multiple counts of sexual abuse of minor boys and two Penn State administrators have been indicted for perjury, Paterno is not expected to be indicted. He is, however, expected to be a witness for the prosecution.

Sandusky, 67, retired in 1999 as the team’s defensive coordinator, but continued to have access to facilities through his work with his Second Mile Foundation for at-risk boys. He was arraigned Saturday and released on $100,000 bond, with a preliminary hearing scheduled for Wednesday.

Penn State Athletic Director Tim Curley and Gary Schultz, Penn State vice president for finance and business, were charged with failure to report what they knew, as required by law, and perjury

5.6-Magnitude Earthquake, Strikes Oklahoma

A n earthquake shocked the Oklahoma with  record, a 5.6-magnitude temblor that was felt in all corners of the state and into parts of neighboring Kansas, Missouri and Arkansas.

The region known as earthquake prone area, as the New Madrid Fault has proven to be a volatile one in recent years. And Saturday was bookended by quaking for many Oklahomans, beginning with a 4.7-magnitude earthquake that jolted residents awake at 2:12 a.m.

And at 10:53 p.m., the area shook again. The 5.6-magnitude wave, strongest in Oklahoma’s history till date, was centered four miles east of Sparks, a small town 40 miles northeast of Oklahoma City.

There were no reports of casualty or major damage, though homeowners did report many instances of structural damage. Emergency management crews said three separate sections of U.S. Route 62 buckled in the quake and a boulder “about the size of an SUV” broke free and tumbled onto a rural road in Lincoln County.

The people reside in area report that the land shook for more than a minute. Assessment crews were dispatched to check on those near the epicenter. “They’re reporting that all the houses look like they’ve been ransacked,” Aaron Bennett from Lincoln County emergency management said. At least one person was taken to a hospital in Prague with minor injuries, he said. The man, according to CNN, tripped and hit his head while trying to run out of his house during the earthquake.

The U.S. Geological survey reports 11 aftershocks were recorded overnight Saturday into Sunday. The strongest quake prior to Saturday was a 5.5-magnitude temblor that struck on April 9, 1952.

JPSC Blames Coaching institution behind the Controversy

Ranchi, Nov, 6: Chairman of JPSC Shiv Basant has alleged the coaching institutes of Ranchi that they are trying to defame the commission and lobbying for the cancelation of 4th JPSC PT examination.

Mr Basant has written a letter to governor of Jharkhand by quoting that the some people associated with the business interest of the coaching centre are creating mess in the situation.

He firmly said that the examination won't be canceled if anybody has doubt that he can go to the court.

The result released by of 4th PT examination few month ago the result came under controversy due to only 2194 result however in first JPSC PT 9600 student was declared passed, in second examination 15000 students were declared passed and in third 17000 student was given the chance to write mains. JPSC has said that they have clarified in the notification that only ten times of the applicants against the total vacancy will be given the chance to write the mains examination.

The applicants also find the anomaly in the publication of result as several general candidates were passed in reserve category.

Applicants are also raising the matter of repetition of question from the previous year of UPSC question in some paper majority of question has been repeated from the same year of UPSC papers.

The scaling methodology also came in doubt as students got more than maximum marks in the examination.

The model answer key was also full of errors almost every optional paper was having wrong answers for example sociology optional paper having 30 wrong answer in total 100 questions.

JPSC has constituted the expert committees who have corrected the model answer key and soon fresh result will be declared.

What Students Want?

The failed students launched their protest against the JPSC by demanding the result up to 15000 in 4th PT that will help the student who has not seen the UPSC previous year papers or cancel the examination and take fresh examination.

JPSC stand on the Controversy

JPSC is trying to make the system transparent so they have declared the result related information on the web site. Fresh result will be issued in coming week based on the correct answer key however matter is also due for hearing in high court on November 9 so commission is also like to see the progress in court to decide the further action.

On the subject of increasing the result JPSC has said the government that if government will direct to do so then it can be done up to 6100 as per the practices in BPSC.
