Michael D. Mauti is the latest in a great line of Nittany Lions to sport The Number. Above he is shown forcing a fumble during Penn State's 2008 thumping of Michigan.

As the son of a former Nittany Lion and brother of a current one, Michael and his brother Patrick Mauti are the latest brother tandem to play for Joe Paterno, who also coached their father, Rich, in the mid-1970s.

The former Mandeville High School All-American is a talented, instinctive and intelligent athlete. He spent time at linebacker and safety during spring practice and promptly demonstrated that he has the skills and work ethic to earn playing time on defense.

His father was a letterman at Penn State in 1975 and '76 as a wide receiver and played in the National Football League for the New Orleans Saints (1977-83) and the Washington Redskins (1984).

Mauti was born January 19, 1990 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

Ivan Kane's Forty Duece - Las Vegas

And now a 42 from Sin City.

(description from Ivan Kane's Forty Duece web site)

Ivan Kane's Forty Deuce Las Vegas nightclub in the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino is even sexier and more soulful than the original in glamorous Hollywood, if that's possible. Walk into the smoke-stained brick, wood-paneled bar and feel immediately transported to old-school Times Square, New York. But this is Sin City, and this intimate nightclub and burlesque show has some surprises! As the room fills to capacity, small lamps with sultry pink shades cast a warm glow over the packed club. And then ... Showtime! The circular back bar vanishes, the band appears and the vintage paintings of reclining nudes retract, so even more people can see the show! A blue light silhouettes the sax man as one of the sexy, sensual dancers slowly slinks down the stairs to the stage and leans out over the crowd, holding on with only a handful of the world-famous curtain of pearls! Jaws drop and drinks are ignored as the tempo picks up and the dancer steps up, shedding boa, gown and gloves towards the electrifying finale. After the show, the celebrity DJ drops in a dance groove and it's dancing 'til dawn!
