Online, Ashton is the bigger bread winner. "As painful as this is to say, Ashton has great earning potential from here on out, and Demi Moore does not," Forbes' Dorothy Pomerantz told E!. "Because of 'Two and a Half Men,' he is earning close to $700,000 an episode, and if his show goes into syndication he will earn more from that. Having a hit show gives you amazing earning potential." So far this year, he reportedly pulled in another $2 million from his movies, $1 million from his restaurants and $1 million from "That '70s Show" residuals.

STATE COLLEGE, Pennsylvania (Reuters) ? Several more people have told a private attorney they were abused as children by former Penn State University assistant football coach Jerry Sandusky, a newspaper reported on Thursday.
Sandusky, 67, was charged earlier this month with molesting eight young boys over a 15-year period. Several more alleged victims came forward after hearing Sandusky interviewed on an NBC news program that aired on Tuesday night, according to the Patriot-News newspaper, citing attorneys in State College.
His indictment has triggered a crisis at the prestigious university. Two other former officials have been charged in the case, and last week Penn State's revered football coach Joe Paterno and its president were fired.
"The folks we talked to are largely folks in their 20s, who in a lot of cases have never told their story before," attorney Andy Shubin told the Patriot-News of the new abuse claims.
One case went back to the 1970s. Sandusky founded The Second Mile, the charity through which he is alleged to have met his victims, in 1977.
Legal experts were dumbfounded that Sandusky's lawyer had let him be interviewed. His comments, such as his admission that he had showered with boys, could be cited at trial.
Attorney Joe Amendola defended the decision, telling television station WJAC in Johnstown that is was beneficial for many people to hear Sandusky say he did not commit the crimes.
Amendola added that the showers which Sandusky has admitted to sharing with boys "are large shower rooms. They're not the showers you have at home...."
Meanwhile, the Penn State Nittany Lions team are preparing for their second game since the football program was thrown into turmoil, against Ohio State in Columbus on Saturday.
Interim head coach Tom Bradley said this week that he had been contacted by Luke Fickell, his Ohio State counterpart, and "assured there will be no problems" for his team.
Behind the scenes, what is left of Penn State's football infrastructure is attempting to retain the 15 recruits who verbally committed to be freshmen in 2012.

ROME (Reuters) ? Prime Minister designate Mario Monti will form a new Italian government on Wednesday to face a crisis that has brought Italy to the brink of economic disaster and endangered the entire euro zone.
A statement from the presidential palace announced that Monti, appointed only on Sunday, would meet head of state Giorgio Napolitano on Wednesday morning to confirm he can form a government. He is expected to announce a cabinet composed mainly of technocrats.
Monti has completed the process of forming a government in less than three days, much less than normal, as Italy races to ward off a major financial and political crisis that has pushed its borrowing costs to untenable levels.
The new administration led by former European Commissioner Monti must push through a tough austerity program demanded by European leaders to restore shattered confidence in Italy.
Underlining the pressure on Monti to act fast was renewed market turmoil, with yields on Italy's 10 year BTP bonds climbing to over 7 percent on Tuesday, the level at which Greece and Ireland were forced into bailouts.
Emma Marcegaglia, head of employers association Confindustria, told reporters after meeting Monti: "We said we will support his government very much. We think this government is the last chance for Italy to exit from this situation of emergency."
Monti's chances were considerably boosted earlier by backing from the PDL party of Silvio Berlusconi, who was forced to step down on Saturday by the crisis.
Angelino Alfano, secretary of the center-right PDL, told reporters: "We think that the efforts of Professor Monti are destined to have a good outcome."
Backing from the PDL, Italy's biggest party, was significant because many of its members had until now opposed the predominantly technocrat government Monti is putting together.
PARLIAMENTARY BACKING
Monti's new government must have strong parliamentary backing to implement what are likely to be unpopular austerity reforms. Any failure or delay in his efforts would cause a devastating new assault from financial markets.
The Italian association of foreign banks added to the pressure, warning that failure by Monti would be a disaster.
Monti began consultations on Monday with political parties, trade unions and business groups as well as youth and womens' organizations. He will finish the consultations on Tuesday night.
Monti was nominated on Sunday by Napolitano, who has engineered an extremely rapid government transition in response to the crisis.
After a brief respite at the end of last week when it became clear Berlusconi would resign, Italy's borrowing costs have now returned to critical levels amid uncertainty over whether Monti would succeed.
Rescuing Italy, with its 1.8-trillion-euro public debt, would be too much for the euro zone's existing financial defenses.
Monti said his government should last until the next scheduled elections in 2013, despite widespread predictions that politicians intend to give him only enough time to implement reforms before precipitating early polls.
Monti has said he would like to include politicians in his cabinet but the big parties are insisting it should be made up purely of technocrats -- a sign of their wariness about a process forced by financial pressure.
Political sources said mutual suspicions and disagreements among the parties was complicating the attempt to include political figures.
Lack of political cover for unpopular reforms could be dangerous for Monti.
Pier Luigi Bersani, leader of the second biggest parliamentary group, the Democratic Party, said he had an "encouraging" meeting with Monti. It covered the financial crisis as well as constitutional reform and Italy's widely criticized election laws, and the party had not set any time limit on the government.
"We confirmed we want to support a technical government of high quality, not to offer it less support but to support it better," he said.
European Council President Hermann Van Rompuy said the euro zone was watching events in Italy "very closely."
Monti, 68, faces formidable political headwinds.
Berlusconi, forced out to the mocking jeers of thousands of protesters on Saturday, is reported to have told supporters the PDL "can pull the plug whenever we want."
The president has called for an extraordinary national effort to win back the confidence of markets, noting that Italy has to refinance some 200 billion euros ($273 billion) of bonds by the end of April.

STATE COLLEGE, Pa (Reuters) ? The longtime head of the children's charity founded by the former assistant coach at Penn State arrested on child sex abuse has resigned, the group said on Monday.
The charity, called The Second Mile, also said it had hired a new legal team, including the former district attorney of Philadelphia, as it prepares for what experts say is an inevitable flurry of civil litigation.
In a statement posted on its website, Second Mile said it had accepted the resignation of Jack Raykovitz, its chief executive for 28 years, on Sunday.
Second Mile said David Woodle, the vice chairman of the group's board of directors, would now be responsible for day-to-day operations of the charity, founded by Jerry Sandusky.
Sandusky, the former defensive coordinator for the Penn State Nittany Lions, was arrested more than a week ago on charges he sexually abused eight young boys over a 15-year period.
The charity also said it hired the law firm of Archer & Greiner to serve as its general counsel, replacing Wendell Courtney, who resigned from that position last week.
Second Mile said Lynne Abraham, a partner in Archer & Greiner and the former district attorney in Philadelphia, would be part of its new legal team.
The group downplayed talk it might wind down its programs as a result of the scandal, saying it remained "committed to Second Mile children, teens and families."
In his resignation, which the charity also posted on its website, Raykovitz wrote: "I have submitted, and the Board has accepted, my resignation as President/CEO of The Second Mile. Providing any statement beyond that sentence takes the focus from where it should be -- on the children, young adults and families who have been impacted.
"Their pain and their healing is the greatest priority, and my thoughts and prayers have been and will continue to be with them."

ScienceDaily (Nov. 15, 2011) ? Tissue with wound-like conditions allows tumors to grow and spread. In mouse lung cancer cells, treatment with silibinin, a major component of milk thistle, removed the molecular billboards that signal these wound-like conditions and so stopped the spread of these lung cancers, according to a recent study published in the journal Molecular Carcinogenesis.
Though the natural extract has been used for more than 2,000 years, mostly to treat disorders of the liver and gallbladder, this is one of the first carefully controlled and reported studies to find benefit.
How it works
Basically, in a cell there can be a chain of signals, one leading to the next, to the next, and eventually to an end product. And so if you would like to eliminate an end product, you may look to break a link in the signaling chain that leads to it. The end products COX2 and iNOS are enzymes involved with the inflammatory response to perceived wounds -- both can aid tumor growth. Far upstream in the signaling chain that leads to these unwanted enzymes are STAT1 and STAT3. These transcription factors allow the blueprint of DNA to bind with proteins that continue the signal cascade, eventually leading to the production of harmful COX2 and iNOS.
Stop STAT1 and STAT3 and you break the chain that leads to COX2 and iNOS -- and the growth of lung tumors along with them.
"This relatively nontoxic substance -- a derivative of milk thistle, called silibinin -- was able to inhibit the upstream signals that lead to the expression of COX2 and iNOS," says Alpna Tyagi, PhD, of the University of Colorado Skaggs School of Pharmacy. Tyagi works in the lab of University of Colorado Cancer Center investigator Rajesh Agarwal, PhD.
In addition, Tyagi and collaborators compared the effects of silibinin to drugs currently in clinical trials for lung cancer. Would drugs that target other signaling pathways -- other linked chains -- similarly cut into the production of COX2 and iNOS?
It turned out that inhibiting the chains of JAK1/2 and MEK in combination and also inhibiting the signaling pathways of EGFR and NF-kB in combination blocked the ability of STAT1 and STAT3 to trap the energy they needed to eventually signal COX2 and iNOS production.
Compared to these multi-million dollar drugs, naturally-occurring silibinin blocked not only the expression of COX2 and iNOS, but also the migration of existing lung cancer cells.
"What we showed is that STAT1 and STAT3 may be promising therapeutic targets in the treatment of lung cancer, no matter how you target them," Tyagi says. "And also that naturally-derived products like silibinin may be as effective as today's best treatments."

SALT LAKE CITY (AP) ? When a World War II veteran in Salt Lake City received a package of seven medals earlier this month, he and his family couldn't figure out why they had been delivered 66 years after his discharge.
It turns out that Tom Harrison actually submitted the request himself more than seven months ago as part of a larger application for military records. The 93-year-old veteran doesn't remember making the request ? so he was surprised when the medals showed up Nov. 4 without any note of explanation.
"It's not a mystery," said Niels Zussblatt, a management analyst with the National Personnel Records Center, after a story by The Associated Press over the Veteran's Day weekend drew attention to Harrison's case.
But it is understandable that Harrison may not recall his request for the medals, Zussblatt said, when "months later they just show up in a box."
The center, which is based in St. Louis, handles military records requests for the National Archives and Records Administration.
There are no records of Harrison receiving the medals previously, Zussblatt said, which is also not unusual for World War II veterans.
"At the end of the war, everybody moved on with their lives," Zussblatt said.
The seven medals were delivered to Harrison with only a packing slip from an Army logistics center in Philadelphia enclosed. There was no letter of explanation or certificate, which Zussblatt said is standard for medals distributed for free by the federal government to veterans.
Military records are often requested by veterans, family members or even assisted living facilities to ensure that the proper commendations are given to a person when they die, Zussblatt said. On the application, there's a box to check to request replacement medals. Harrison checked the box.
The medals included the Distinguished Service Cross and Silver Star. A review of his records shows he also earned the Prisoner of War and Asiatic-Pacific Campaign medals, which will be delivered to him soon.
Harrison was stationed in the Philippines prior to the bombing of Pearl Harbor with a field artillery unit and training Filipino troops, and then fought the Japanese in the Battle of Bataan. He eventually survived the Bataan Death March and more than three years as a prisoner of the Japanese.
The Department of Defense has not returned calls or emails from AP asking about the medals, and other attempts to solve the mystery were unsuccessful. Zussblatt reached out to the AP on Monday after reading the story to offer an explanation for the mysterious medals.
When the medals arrived, Harrison said they refreshed some painful memories for him but gave him a sense of renewed pride because they reminded him that the country valued his service.
His son, Paul Harrison, said the family has since honored his father with a dinner. He said it made sense that the application came from his father, who was working with a veteran's group to file paperwork while at an assisted living facility in April.

I'm trying to remember when our fascination with games that have jewels in them came about, but I really don't know. People seem to go bananas for Bejweled, and while this isn't that, it's in the same vein of games with jewels (and fun).
Star Diamonds Capture has a simple enough premise: Flip the spots two jewels are in, and while doing so, try to get three-of-a-kind in a vertical or horizontal line. When you do that, the jewels disappear, their background turns blue (your color), and your green score bar fills up.
The kicker? You're playing against a live opponent. Every time. So while you may think you're the master of scoring captures, you've got to contend with someone else's ingenuity trying to muddle your success (and always have an internet connection).
Also, you can steal squares captured by your opponent (as they can do to you), and as a result, the green score bar goes down. It's the easiest way to slow down your challenger's victory, and can seriously turn the tide of a match in a few moves.
You can also put together impressive combos, as falling jewels just happen to land in the perfect spot, but I'm not sure how predictable this is or if it's sheer luck. Regardless, it's the quickest way to win, and whenever you make your move, you'll anxiously wait to see if any more combos are coming your way.
When you're not in-game, you can check out your stats by hitting the Star Arcade logo in the top-right corner of the screen, like recent games, rank, and wins and losses. There's also a buddies list, a basic settings menu, and an in-app store that hasn't been implemented yet. I can only assume the points you earn from winning games will be spent in the shop, but I wouldn't be surprised to see in-app purchases, either, since those are all the rage these days.
Diamonds Capture is a pretty fun (albeit unoriginal) take on the three-of-a-kind jewel games, but the fact you're always facing off against a human opponent adds a great dynamic to the game. Diamonds Capture is 99 cents in the Android Market.
We've got download links after the break.
