It is hard to imagine talking about college football after all of the gruesome revelations that have come out of State College, PA. It’s sick enough when a child fucker was running loose for decades victimizing underprivileged boys in the guise of his charity he established. But when a major university, a venerable football head coach and an entire police department in small town America covered up for this child fucker all in the name of the university, it is outright disgusting. more › Read the rest here: College Football Schedule Week 11: What To Say?

Family Dollar begins its invasion of California with four new dollar stores opening in Southern California this week. Discount retail rivals, like 99 Cents Only Stores and Dollar Tree, are already established in California and are not happy with the news, understandably. The new Family Dollar stores are opening in Fontana , Ontario , Rialto and Riverside , and Southern California customers will certainly not mind the convenience of more retail locations to buy low-cost merchandise. Family Dollar plans to open 48 new California store locations in the next 10 months.

Anaheim Ducks defeat Vancouver Canucks 4-3 . The Ducks did Friday night what the Kings couldn’t do Thursday night: beat the Canucks. Despite a four-goal second period with Jonas Hiller shutting out the Canucks to that point, the Ducks barely hung on when Vancouver outshot Anaheim 22-2 in that final period with goals by Kevin Bieksa and two by Jannik Hansen. more › Presented By: Grainger has power transmission covered.

SELLER: David Schwimmer LOCATION: Los Angeles, CA PRICE: $10,700,000 SIZE: 11,336 square feet, 9 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms YOUR MAMAS NOTES: There are three–make that four–main reasons why celebrities, high profile people and others with the ducats to indulge their multi-million dollar real estate whims: death, marriage, divorce and/or the birth of a child. Since former Friends actor David Schwimmer got married last year in an all-but-secret ceremony and then pushed out a baby in May 2011 it’s really not such a surprise to any of us real estate gossips that he and his new missus-mommy Zoe Buckman–a former waitress and part-time photographer from London–recently heaved his long-time bachelor pad in Los Angeles’ hoity-toity Hancock Park area on the market with an asking price of $10,700,000. Since Friends went off the air in 2005 Mister Schwimmer hasn’t been very busy in front of the camera instead preferring a recurring voice over role in the Madagascar animated film franchise and directing a few things here and there including live studio segments for the long ago canceled Little Britain USA , a short-lived sketch comedy series that starred the deliciously campy, button-pushing British actor/comedians David Walliams and Matt Lucas, who recently snatched up his own house in Los Angeles. Property records show Mister Schwimmer acquired his gated and high-hedged Hancock Park spread way back in May 2001 when he paid $5,600,000 for the 1-plus acre estate located in the fancy heart of one of the better pockets of the historic, affluent, and celebrity-friendly Hancock Park ‘hood. Listing information indicates Mister Schwimmer’s massive two-story Mediterranean mansion was built in 1926, measures 11,000 square feet–the L.A. County Tax Man shows it’s 11,336 square feet–and contains 9 bedrooms, 6.5 bathrooms and 5 fireplaces. We’re not sure if those bedroom and bathroom counts include the detached guest house, located above the detached 3-car garage and described in listing materials as “a modern loft experience,”that has its own living room, bedroom, bathroom and kitchen. Current listing photos are few and limited only to exterior shots of the house and grounds but listing information does indicate the interior spaces include formal living and dining rooms, a wood paneled library, stone-walled den, and a newly-installed state-of-the-art screening room. While the house was largely remodeled when Mister Schwimmer acquired it he did do over the back yard, install new heating and air conditioning systems and restored the windows, doors and hardwood floors.

SAN DIEGO — Carson Palmer threw two touchdown passes and Michael Bush ran 30 times for a season-high 157 yards and one touchdown to lead the Oakland Raiders to a 24-17 win over San Diego on Thursday night, the Chargers’ fourth straight loss. The Raiders (5-4) broke a two-game losing streak and took a half-game lead over the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC West. Palmer looked much better in making his second start and third appearance since being acquired in a trade with Cincinnati, throwing touchdown passes of 33 and 26 yards to Denarius Moore. He’d been semi-retired and living in Del Mar, just north of San Diego, before being traded. Palmer was 14 for 20 for 299 yards, with one interception. The Chargers (4-5) looked dismal most of the night and lost left tackle Marcus McNeill, right guard Louis Vasquez and linebacker Takeo Spikes to injuries.
