Mustang MonthlyCar Reviews
Shelby 1000 - Gentle Giant
1000 Horse Power Street Shelby
OK, I'll admit it: I was somewhat intimidated when Gary Patterson yanked the car cover off the Shelby 1000 Mustang in preparation for my test drive. Even as Gary explains the car's tame, even docile street manners, I recall my experiences in 750hp G.T. 500 Super Snakes so I know that even that level of power can get you in trouble in a hurry. The Shelby 1000 adds another 250 hp--tacking on more horsepower than an '87 5.0L HO.
The obvious question is: Why does anyone need 1,000 horsepower for a street car?
Patterson, Shelby American's VP of Operations, is quick with a response: "Some people need that just to get to work."
For the past several years, Carroll Shelby has been talking about building a street car with 1,000 horsepower. In a 2008 interview, he told Mustang Monthly, "We're in a horsepower race with the Germans. They ain't going to win it. I've got 1,000 horsepower on the dyno right now and I'll go there if I have to."
With the new Shelby 1000, based on Ford's Shelby G.T. 500, he's not only gone there, he's set a new standard for production-based builds, not only for Mustangs but also for American muscle cars. Reaching the magic 1,000hp number is certainly worth boasting; doing it in a well-mannered street package is the Big News.
Introduced during the New York International Auto Show on April 6-15, the Shelby 1000 joins the Super Snake, G.T. 350, and GTS as a post-title package available from Shelby American's Las Vegas production facility. Saddling up 1,000 hp won't come cheap; pricing for the Shelby 1000 package wasn't established at press time, but we've heard rumors about "keeping it under $150,000."
The first Shelby 1000 is Carroll's car. I was invited to drive it, not for testing purposes, I was told, because it was still under development. Regardless, I wasn't going to turn down the opportunity to experience 1,000 hp in what Shelby American claims is a totally streetable package.
The road to 1,000 hp wasn't easy. For over three years, Shelby American explored twin turbochargers, going as far as building a concept twin-turbocharged G.T. 500 called Code Red (see "Shelby's Code Red" in the March 2011 issue). "It became very complex," Patterson told us. "By the time the project was finished, the Mustang body style had changed. And with that, the Ford electronics changed again. So the target kept moving."
But it was the technological advancement in large-capacity, twin-screw superchargers from Kenne-Bell and Whipple that convinced them to switch to supercharging. "You can take one of those and run with the Ford factory electronics, so tuning becomes easier," Patterson explains. "And driveability is like a regular car. You put the key in, turn it, and the engine starts, idles at 900 rpm, and doesn't give you any grief sitting in traffic."
The switch from twin-turbocharging to twin-screw supercharging didn't erase the time and effort put into Code Red's research and development. Many of the Shelby 1000's upgrades, from beefier engine internals to the 9-inch rearend, came from lessons learned while developing Code Red's engine and chassis to handle 1,000 hp.
Every Shelby 1000 will start life as a production '12-'13 Shelby G.T. 500. However, unlike other Shelby post-title builds, the engine is removed, then disassembled and rebuilt with upgraded components to prepare the bottom end for the rigors of high-horsepower. "According to Ford, the all-aluminum 5.4L can handle 1,000 hp momentarily but not continuously," says Shelby American Motorsports' Gil Nevarez, who headed up the Shelby 1000 engine development. "With the upgraded components, you can run the engine continuously at that level."
According to Nevarez, the only parts reused from the original 5.4L are the block, heads, and intake manifold. For bottom-end strength, the entire reciprocating assembly is replaced with a Ford Racing crankshaft, Carillo H-beam rods, and Diamond pistons with ceramic coating on top for heat deflection. The heads are treated to CNC porting for a 30-35 percent increase in flow before being reassembled with heavy-duty valves and Comp Cams' valvesprings with titanium retainers. Nevarez supplied the specs to Comp Cams for the blower-specific camshafts.
A 1,000hp engine produces a lot of heat, so Nevarez and his crew were challenged to control air inlet, charge air, and coolant temperatures. "C&R designed and developed a new heat exchanger core for the intercooler," Nevarez says. "It's twice the size of the ones we've been using. That, along with a 50 gpm pump, keeps the air charge temperature down so you can run 20 minutes on the track without engine detonation."
The rest of the Shelby 1000 is also prepared for serious abuse. Some of the upgraded components can be found as either standard or optional equipment on other Shelbys, but others, like the Currie 9-inch rearend, are designed specifically for the Shelby 1000. In fact, along with the engine, the entire drivetrain is removed for modifications.
"The factory 8.8-inch rearend is great but when you get to the 1,000hp level, you need the insurance from the old-style 9-inch with 35-spline axles," Patterson says. "The axles have the big 9/16-inch studs, so when you put a set of drag radials on it--and we truly hope our customers do--you can be reasonably sure that this car is not going to break."
The chassis is stiffened with triangulated bracing along the inner rockers, and the stock K-member is ditched in favor of a 100-pound lighter tubular K-member. The Shelby 1000 comes standard with Eibach's R2 coilover suspension that provides double adjustable shocks along with adjustable ride height to allow plenty of setup flexibility. There's also the full complement of Shelby suspension mods, including Watts link, billet control arms, anti-hop kit, and sway bars, along with huge Wilwood brakes.
Compared to G.T. 500 Super Snakes, the Shelby 1000 looks tame with only a taller hood dome (designed by Shelby American's Vince LaViolette to clear the large supercharger) and reflective side graphics to differentiate it from a regular G.T. 500. That was on purpose. "We've done some over-the-top styling things with cars like the Prudhomme Edition with its tilt front end," says Patterson. "But customers told us they want something that's understated, something you've got to study to realize what's different about the car."
During our visit, the Shelby 1000 was equipped with chrome 20-inch Super Snake wheels; it will get its own three-piece forged wheels when they become available.
1,000 hp on Las Vegas Boulevard
My first drive in the Shelby 1000 is only a few feet at a time while positioning and repositioning the car for Jerry Heasley's camera. Every time, the engine fires at the first twist of the key and idles aggressively thanks to the blower-spec camshafts. Although the 3-inch JBA exhaust is not loud or obnoxious, you definitely know that something special is under the hood.
While Heasley snaps photos of the engine, I inspect the interior. Other than the trio of A-pillar gauges--boost, fuel, and oil pressure--and the white ball on the MGW shifter, there's not much difference from the standard G.T. 500, although there will likely be more Shelby content by the time the car goes into production.
Deciding that discretion may the better part of valor, I offer the driver's seat to Patterson for my first experience of 1,000 hp at full boost. Maneuvering slowly between the Shelby buildings as we make our way toward Las Vegas Blvd., the Shelby 1000 is well-behaved with no drivetrain bucking or shaking, proving Patterson's point that the car is fully capable of serving as a "grocery-getter."
At its extreme northern end, Las Vegas Blvd. is nothing like the congestion and bright lights of "The Strip." By the time you pass Nellis Air Force Base and Las Vegas Motor Speedway, the road becomes a smooth, four-lane blacktop that stretches like a straight strip of ribbon into the mountains. Patterson turns left and points the Shelby 1000 toward the horizon.
There's no need to launch from a standing start. It's a given that 1,000 hp will overpower the street tires in First, Second, and even Third gears. At the top of Third, Patterson nails the throttle and the Shelby 1000 hurtles forward under a rush of exhaust noise and supercharger whine, sounding very much like the in-car camera view of an Indy Car on TV. Peripheral vision becomes a blur as Patterson shifts into Fourth and the blue Shelby continues to rocket forward before Gary eases off the throttle at somewhere around 140 mph, although it's obvious that there's plenty more available.
"What separates the men from the boys is what happens after 60 mph," Patterson explains as the Shelby 1000 coasts down to a more normal highway speed. "That's where big power rules. We haven't tested the quarter-mile yet but it's not really set up for that. Our original Super Snake ran 10.87 at 134 on drag radials. With Shelby 1000, it's not going to be much quicker. When you get above 100 mph, that's where an extra 250 horses come in handy."
Patterson eases to a stop and we trade seats. Testing the shifter, I find that it's familiar and precise, which is somewhat comforting. The clutch pedal is firm but not overly stiff, although I notice that it takes some finesse to get the car rolling because the rpm drop quickly as the clutch engages. (In a later conversation with Nevarez, he tells me that he fixed that glitch with his tuning magic).
I take it easy in First, then dip into the boost in Second. Tire spin. Third gear produces more of the same, only it takes a little more throttle to send the rear end slewing sideways, which is a bit disconcerting at 60 mph. Easing into the throttle, the tires finally grab traction and the Shelby 1000 does what it does best as vehicle speed and engine revs climb. It's a total rush through Fourth gear, when I decide that it's best to leave the high-speed driving to Patterson.
Heading back to Shelby American headquarters, I get an idea of how the Shelby 1000 handles normal driving situations. With huge Shelby/Wilwood brakes, there's plenty of confidence in the car's stopping ability. Driving along a bumpy access road, the suspension is firm but not rough. I love the fact that the car purrs along at lower speeds just like any other new Mustang, riding and sounding like a performance car but perfectly content and well-mannered.
It's a true Jekyll and Hyde performance car.
With its outlandish horsepower and price tag, Shelby American doesn't expect to sell many Shelby 1000s, 25 to 50 at the most. But you can bet that much of the R&D and technology will trickle down to future Shelby products, as if 525hp G.T. 350s and 800hp Super Snakes aren't powerful enough.
Best of all, Carroll's wish for a 1,000hp Shelby has come true.

Editor's note: CNN has crews in Israel, Gaza and around the region reporting on the latest attacks, talks and fallout from the upsurge in the Gaza-Israel conflict. Here are some of their stories:
[Updated 8:35 a.m. ET Wednesday]
A bomb exploded on a bus in Tel Aviv as it passed by Israeli army headquarters around noon local time Wednesday. The attack, which police said left at least 22 people injured, shook up the Israeli public and threatened to complicate efforts to achieve a cease-fire on the eighth day of violence between Israel and Gaza.
At the scene of the bus bombing, police cordoned off the street as ambulances arrived. CNN's Sara Sidner said there is a hospital nearby. Sidner said the injured included people on the bus and people who were on the street.

Anderson Cooper (@andersoncooper) November 20, 2012
The nighttime explosions in Gaza - and rocket attacks from Gaza into southern Israel - come after Egypt and Hamas had indicated that a halt, or calming, might happen around 2 p.m. ET. But Hamas and Egypt seem to have pulled back from those statements.

Arwa Damon (@arwaCNN) November 20, 2012
[Updated 2:08 p.m. ET Tuesday]
Hamas spokesman Sami Abu Zuhri says Israel has yet to agree to terms that could halt violence, Wedeman reports.
[Updated 2:01 p.m. ET Tuesday]
Both Wedeman and Damon report a huge blast in Gaza. The blast comes minutes before the start of what a senior Hamas official said would be a "calming down."
The Hamas official said an announcement would come from a Hamas official in Cairo at 2 p.m. ET. The "calming down" could halt violence, but is not the same as an official cease-fire or truce, Wedeman reported.
Pleitgen, in Ashkelon, Israel, says that in the past hour, he's seen rockets from Hamas intercepted by the Israeli military in the sky over southern Israel.

Arwa Damon (@arwaCNN) November 20, 2012
[Updated 11:33 a.m. ET Tuesday]
Sayah said three or four huge explosions happened about 35 minutes ago near the Rafah border crossing between Egypt and Gaza. He said he didn't know what exploded.
Sayah reported that other explosions have happened in that area over the past two days. Asked how people there react to the blasts, he said: "Frankly, they're used to it."
"They may duck, they may look to see where it came from, they may listen to the car alarms, but by now they're very much used to the explosions," Sayah said.
[Updated 10:47 a.m. ET Tuesday]
Pleitgen, reporting from Ashkelon near Israel's border with Gaza, says four or five rockets were just fired from Gaza into Israel's airspace, and that it appears Israel's military shot down all of them.
He reports that the Israel Defense Forces claims five Israeli soldiers were injured in a recent rocket strike from Gaza - information that the IDF also makes on its website. Information on where the soldiers were injured wasn't immediately available.
[Updated 10:29 a.m. ET Tuesday]
Cooper reports he and his team saw a body of a man - alleged to be a spy for Israel - being dragged by a motorcycle that someone was driving along the main streets of Gaza City. The motorcycle rider was accompanied by other men on motorcycles, and the group alleged that the dead man was a spy, Cooper reports.
A rope attached the body's legs to the motorcycle, Cooper says.

Damon's tweets came on a day when an Israeli official said his country is holding off on a ground offensive into Gaza, in hopes that a diplomatic solution may be achieved to halt the raging violence.

Check out CNN's on-the-ground posts from Monday.
The truth hurts more than the Hamas huh?
The media will report whatever has the most shock value. Supporting the Jews is just not "cool". It takes courage to report the truth. Omission is a strike against truth too. You will never hear this from CNN:
Hamas said, (and I quote): "the Palestinians are a nation of jihad and martyrdom; we desire death more than you desire life". Hamas TV instructs the population that (quote) "bombs are more precious than children." Hamas (and the other fine upstanding organizations) will hide behind their women, children, elderly, and the media; this is their "brave" tactic.Yet CNN equates the actions of hamas with the Israelis who value life.
Now they're trying to disable my "name box" Who's doing this?
Colon Pow said I'm on the other side on the aisle now. Go fight this thing yourself.
Why must so many muslims reinforce the stereotype that they don't care about their own children?
A bus was bombed in Tel Aviv at noon time Channel 7 is reporting, 3 hurt seriously, no deaths, the bomb was tossed onto the bus by a man who then ran, police have arrested one man related to this.

NASA's Tropical Rainfall Measuring Mission satellite known as TRMM measured Cyclone Gino's rainfall from space and saw the bulk of precipitation was south of the center. Gino's rainfall is being pushed away from the center by vertical wind shear.
TRMM flew over Cyclone Gino on Thursday, Feb. 14 at 0806 UTC (3:06 a.m. EST) and measured the rainfall rates occurring throughout the storm. The bulk of the rainfall stretched from south to southeast of the center. The heaviest rain was falling at a rate of 2 inches (50 mm) per hour southeast of the center, and scattered throughout bands of thunderstorms. The bands of thunderstorms were wrapping from the east quadrant into the southwest quadrant of the storm.
As Gino continues in a southerly direction the vertical wind shear that is already affecting the storm's rainfall is expected to increase, according to the forecasters at the Joint Typhoon Warning Center (JTWC).
At 1500 UTC (10 a.m. EST), Cyclone Gino's maximum sustained winds had dropped to 70 knots (80 mph/129.6 kph). Tropical-storm-force winds extend out 110 nautical miles (126.6 miles/203.7 km) from the center of circulation.
Gino was located near 23.9 south latitude and 80.9 east longitude, about 1,110 nautical miles (1,277 miles/2,056 km) south-southeast of Diego Garcia and far from any land areas. Gino was moving to the south-southeast at 12 knots (13.8 mph/22.2 kph).
JTWC expects Gino to track southeastward along the southwestern edge of a subtropical ridge (elongated area) of high pressure where it will encounter strong vertical wind shear between 40 to 60 knots (46 to 69 mph/74 to lll kph) and sea surface temperatures as cool as 24 Celsius (75.2F). Sea surface temperatures of at least 26.6 C (80F) are needed for a tropical cyclone to maintain intensity. Any temperatures cooler than that, will limit thunderstorm development and weaken the storm.
According to JTWC forecasters, Gino should begin transitioning into an extra-tropical storm where the core of the storm changes from a warm core to a cold core, much like a typical mid-latitude low pressure area. Because of the increasing vertical wind shear and cooler sea surface temperatures, Gino may weaken quickly.

- You were injured in a car or truck accident
- You have been arrested and charged with a crime, such as DUI or shoplifting
- You are considering separating from your spouse
- You have been subjected to harassment or other discrimination at work
Use Justia to research and compare Essexville attorneys so that you can make an informed decision when you hire your counsel.
It is important to research an attorney before hiring him or her. Be sure to evaluate an attorney's experience (types of cases handled, prior results obtained, etc.). Although prior results are not indicative of the likelihood of success in your case, they can help you make an informed decision.
Also worth serious consideration is the attorney's location, particularly if you will be traveling to visit him or her for consultations.
Finally, research an attorney to see whether he or she has ever been subject to discipline. Although disciplinary actions do not necessarily impact the attorney's competence to handle your case, they may affect your decision whether to hire.

Stranger donates kidney to 10-year-old girl
- Girls mother had taken to the streets with poster board sign asking for help
- Martindale has developed medical complications from the transplant
- He says he %27didn%27t do this for notoriety%27
DETROIT -- Brian Martindale said it was by chance that he saw a local newspaper story that would eventually lead to him save the life of a 10-year-old girl in need of a kidney transplant who lived just four blocks away.
"I just happened to pick up the paper that day," Martindale recalled Wednesday. "It was September 29 and there she was."
The story in the Bay City Times told of Bay City mom Stacey Schwerin and her 10-year-old daughter Jessica Schwerin, who was diagnosed with kidney failure on Aug. 2 and in desperate need of a transplant to live.
"It was devastating, absolutely devastating," Stacey Schwerin said Wednesday of her daughter's diagnosis. "I realized I couldn't give her a kidney because of my health."
So Schwerin, a single mother, took to the streets of Bay City with a large pink poster board sign that read, "Please help!! My daughter needs a kidney!! I can't lose her."
After reading about Schwerin and her sign, Martindale said, he decided to call her and inquired about Jessica's blood type.
"I learned we had the same blood type," Martindale said.
Two weeks later he was tested. "They notified me the day before Thanksgiving that I was an exact match," he said.
The transplant took place last month at University of Michigan's Mott's Children's Hospital.
Martindale, 51, who owns an apparel shop in Bay City, was honored Wednesday at a fundraiser at UDetroit Cafe in Detroit to cover his medical expenses incurred due to complications from the kidney transplant.
As of Feb. 1, there were 2,538 Michigan residents waiting for a kidney transplant, according to Gift of Life Michigan, an Ann Arbor-based, federally designated organ and tissue recovery program. Of those waiting for kidneys, only 17 are children. The average wait is about a year.
Martindale said he was introduced to Jessica in November. They became friends, but he concealed the fact that he planned to donate one of his kidneys to her.
"I didn't decide to give her my kidney so anyone would know, "Martindale said. "I have a 28-year-old son and if he needed a kidney, I would want someone to help. I knew I matched, and I didn't do this for notoriety. I just wanted to save her life."
Stacey Schwerin and Jessica spoke to Martindale via Skype at the benefit Wednesday. Schwerin shared how scared she was to learn of Jessica's diagnosis.
"I couldn't help her, and it was a long wait for a donor," Schwerin said. "It was too much to see a 10-year old go through."
Jessica said she could not enjoy some of her favorite foods.
"It was terrible because I couldn't eat nothing," Jessica said. "I couldn't have potassium, and potatoes have that, and I love potatoes."
Stacey Schwerin said she took to the streets because she felt that was her only option.
"People tried to give me money but I said, 'No, I need a kidney,'" Schwerin said.
Jessica and her mom learned of Martindale's gift on Thanksgiving Day.
"I blew the roof off the house screaming," Schwerin said of her reaction to the news.
Jessica and Martindale rode to the Ann Arbor hospital together on transplant day on Jan. 11.
Martindale, who continues to visit Jessica, said her transformation since the transplant has been visible and amazing.
"When I met Jessica she was very fair-skinned, and since the transplant she has color in her face," Martindale said. "She also has so much energy."
It is not the first time Martindale considered donating his kidney.
More than two years ago, Martindale and his son David created a business called Karma Inc. Apparel, which donates 10% of its sales to charity. It was around that time Martindale met a man who would later become his friend. That man needed a kidney transplant.
"He had no insurance, and after getting to know him over a few months I contacted U of M hospital to see if I could donate my kidney," Martindale said.
Martindale would learn that he was not a match for his friend, but inquired about the paired donation program where he would donate a kidney to someone he matched and in turn his friend would get a kidney from someone who matched.
"I never dreamed my business would lead me to giving a kidney," Martindale said.
Stacey Schwerin said she is beyond grateful for Martindale's donation.
"August 2 to January 11 is a far cry from a year and a far cry from dialysis," Schwerin said. "He gave my daughter her life and gave me my life, too."

DAVIE, Fla. (AP) - Last month, Richie Incognito said severe repercussions would be warranted if the Miami Dolphins kept allowing sacks at such an alarming rate.
"Everybody should be fired," he said.
Nobody in Miami is talking about sacks anymore. Firings remain a distinct possibility for very different reasons.
The Dolphins' harassment scandal is threatening the season and job security, leaving the future of coach Joe Philbin, his assistants and general manager Jeff Ireland in doubt.
Tackle Jonathan Martin alleges he was harassed daily by teammates, including Incognito, who has been suspended. While Martin is scheduled to meet with an NFL special investigator late this week, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has formed two committees to study the team's locker room culture.
"Changes need to be made," Ross said at a news conference Monday. "We need to examine everything internally."
Someone in the organization will likely be designated the primary culprit for the scandal, and Ireland's the early front-runner. Ross said he had "total, utmost confidence" in Philbin but barely mentioned Ireland, who didn't attend the news conference.
Philbin, who is 11-14 since joining the Dolphins last year, said he appreciated Ross' vote of confidence.
"The only way you succeed if there is support within the whole entire organization," the coach said. "It starts at the top."
Ireland, who rarely speaks publicly, didn't respond to a request for comment.
The findings of the NFL investigator could sway Ross' opinion, as could the final seven games and dwindling fan support. The Dolphins (4-5) have slumped after a 3-0 start, and on Monday they became the first team to lose to Tampa Bay. Another half-empty stadium is likely Sunday when they play host to San Diego.
The intensity of media scrutiny abated a bit Wednesday. Some 60 reporters and cameramen filled the locker room after practice, but Philbin was asked only two questions about the scandal during his daily news conference.
He also was asked two questions about Ireland.
"Jeff and I have worked closely since the day I've gotten here," Philbin said. "The discipline of the team is in my hands. I'm in charge of that. But he has always been supportive."
To the dismay of many Miami fans, Ireland is in his sixth year with the Dolphins even though they haven't had a winning season since 2008, and Ross' patience with his beleaguered general manager might finally be exhausted. Among the many questionable personnel decisions in recent years, pairing Martin and Incognito on the left side of the line appears to have been the most disastrous.
"It is not just about Richie Incognito, it's just not about Jonathan Martin, it is about the organization as a whole, from the top down," former NFL receiver Keyshawn Johnson said on ESPN, where he is now an analyst. "In a locker room setting, everybody has to coexist. Or you at least have to know what personalities go together. . Obviously, the Dolphins didn't do their homework."
Former Dolphins coach Jimmy Johnson echoed that opinion on Fox and questioned Ireland's decision to take Martin in the second round of the 2012 draft.
"The Dolphins used a high pick on Jonathan Martin and had high expectations," Johnson said. "Well, other teams shied away from Martin. Maybe the Dolphins should have investigated why they shied away."
The scandal has rekindled fan ire toward Ireland, a Bill Parcells protege. Critics are quick to recall Ireland's role in the clunky courtship of coach Jim Harbaugh in 2011, and Ireland asking Dez Bryant in a 2010 pre-draft interview if the receiver's mother was ever a prostitute.
There also have been a multitude of questionable personnel moves, which last offseason ranged from letting Reggie Bush go to keeping Incognito.
Philbin had input in some of those decisions, and he was responsible for overseeing the locker room environment now under scrutiny.
"People are asking me how Joe Philbin could not know what was going on in that locker room," former NFL coach Tony Dungy said in his analyst role on NBC. "Well, as a head coach, you don't know everything. My job was to set the atmosphere up, and I counted on my leaders. So, if I said no hazing in the locker room, then it was up to Derrick Brooks, Jeff Saturday, Reggie Wayne and those types of guys to control it."
Dungy is on a committee assigned by Ross to review the Dolphins' code of conduct. The committee also includes Pro Football Hall of Fame coach Don Shula, and former NFL players Dan Marino, Jason Taylor and Curtis Martin.

Why? It's the inspiration for Saturn classic NiGHTS Into Dreams, according to the game's creator Yuji Naka, who tells you everything you've ever wanted to know about the cult Sega hit in a new interview.
Naka, whose latest game Ivy the Kiwi? is bound for the Wii and Nintendo DS this summer, spills everything NiGHTS-related to fan site NiGHTSintoDreams.com. Yes, the original NiGHTS was largely influenced by Cirque du Soleil's Mystère—still playing at Treasure Island in Las Vegas—and, yes, there's a reason the "i" in NiGHTS is in lowercase.
Yes, there was a PC version of NiGHTS. Yes, there was a special Saturn controller designed specifically for the game. No, Yuji Naka will not create a sequel.
As interviews go, Naka's responses to NiGHTS fans is a great one. If you're a fan, check it out.

DWTS Season 13 Rumors and Innuendo – Ryan O'Neal
So, apparently, Entertainment Tonight is saying that Ryan O'Neal has agreed to do the show. I have yet to see this for myself, as ET doesn't air here until later, for some crazy reason. Ordinarily I would wait until I could get video from ET and post, but then I saw this tweet from a producer/journalist on Twitter and I gave up and decided to post it with the word "innuendo" tacked on just in case:
[blackbirdpie url="http://twitter.com/#!/MoviesNews/status/106561133967708160″]
For those of you not in the know, Ryan is an Academy Award nominated actor (Love Story) and is what could be considered old Hollywood royalty. He was involved with Farrah Fawcett for many, many years, is the father of Tatum O'Neal, who was also on DWTS!!
OKAY! Timing is everything. They just said on ET that Ryan is going to be on the show. They qualified this by saying that DWTS producers won't confirm, but this is what they hear. They also said he had knee surgery a few months ago.
Ryan today:

– WWE will be inducting a celebrity into this year's Hall of Fame class. There was actually talk of inducting Madison Square Garden as a building. This year's class will be larger than usual.
– With TNA Impact Wrestling taking their show on the road, WWE has began contacting a number of major arenas to put holds on them for future dates. At least one person within WWE thinks that if TNA begins going on the road every Thursday, WWE may need to change their touring schedule to Thursday, Friday and Saturday for at least one of the brands.
There is internal talk that WWE will put some arena dates on hold to make sure TNA doesn't get into them. WWE also may be enforcing some of their non-compete clauses so TNA can't run in the same buildings they do.

Geocacher of Month Nominees for April 2013 – Add Your Comments
The nominees for the April Featured Geocacher of the Month award hail from three different nations, but contribute to one global game. Each offers a welcoming hand to those new to geocaching and creative hides for all geocachers. The nominees come from the United States, New Zealand and Denmark.
Now it's your turn to help us select the next Featured Geocacher of the Month. Write a supportive comment at the bottom of this blog for the geocacher you feel should be awarded the title. Each geocacher is already a winner and will receive a prize package from Geocaching HQ. A panel of folks from Geocaching HQ will then use your comments to help guide the decision of which geocacher is awarded the honor.
Each Featured Geocacher of the Month will receive an exclusive special edition Featured Geocacher of the Month Geocoin, hat and profile icon. They'll also get a certificate acknowledging their contributions, signed by two of the founders of Geocaching.
In March, WVTim was named the Featured Geocacher of the Month. He's known as an inspiration to geocachers for his unique geocaches, excellent maintenance habits and his geocaching YouTube channel. He's accumulated more than 2,000 Favorite Points on his geocaches and he teaches geocaching in schools and to the Boy Scouts.
Here are your nominees for the March Featured Geocacher of the Month. Some testimonials have been edited for length.
Michael Schwartz "schwartz-hansen" writes, "Our nominee is Olefant (the name is a combination of his first name Ole and his logo a biking elephant – elefant in danish).
He is a retired music teacher from Copenhagen who by now has released nearly 250 caches in Denmark and other countries. He started geocaching in 2009, and has been very active from 2011 until now. He has made a lot of cartoon caches and his FTF-certificates are often laminated pictures of the cartoon figures. At his last event on the 16 of March, he released more than 30 caches, with cartoon series and an Astrology series called the Zoodiak – because the theme of the event was animals.
With his events and his caches, we think that Olefant is a big inspiration for the other geocachers in Denmark, … besides that he is always taking his time to talk to all the persons he meets at events and when he is in the field geocaching."
Cristina Florez, "Mamabear Crew" writes, "My nomination for MulderNScully isn't just because they're "nice"… it's because they take geocaching as a true sport. And their caches… ooooh their caches……. just like their username suggests, they are out of this world! Inventive, thought out, truly educational, and some of them hard as hell. They have been an inspiration to us and we will be trying to follow their lead in making this sport a true adventure!"
Jerry Lynn DellAmic writes, "They have helped me when I got stuck on puzzle caches, but they never gave me the solution. They made me talk out loud. …MulderNScully take pride in their geocaches. For them, it's not about the numbers. It's about enjoying life. Taking the opportunity to walk among nature. Go to places that you may not ever get the chance to see. If it hadn't been for this great hobby, I would never have had the opportunity to meet these life long friends."
Onslow Fisherman
Natalie Gray writes, "I would like to nominate Jim Greene, also known as Onslow Fisherman, as Geocacher of the Month. I met Jim by mail, when he very nicely answered some question I had about a puzzle cache he had. He invited me to meet him and his wife in NZ and I jumped at the chance. We became friends and he has helped me with computer questions,etc…We've even done an "International Cache" together, GC44F7A and GC42HKJ respectively. Jim is well respected in his native geocaching community, always giving back. He ran a GSAK seminar at NZ Mega in October, and also arranged a 4X4 event last year. His caches are great, and he'll even lend you his GPS to find them. (GC2QAHK and GC2MF3T). He is helpful to newbies and experienced cachers alike, gets tons of favorite points on his caches, and makes our sport better every day. He also has over 1000 caches to his credit, which is hard to do in a relatively small island country. Jim Greene/Onslow Fisherman, epitomizes the best in geocaching and definitely deserves to be a Geocacher of the Month."
Comment below to tell us who you think should be the April Featured Geocacher of the Month. We will be accepting comments through Sunday, May 7.
If your nominee wasn't recognized here, please submit your nominations again next month. We're always looking for the next Featured Geocacher of the Month. To nominate someone, send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com and include the following information:
- Your name, the name of your nominee, their username
- A picture of the nominee
- Description (200 or more words) explaining why he or she deserves to be the Featured Geocacher of the Month
Please inform your nominee that you have submitted them for the award. Nominations for the next Featured Geocacher of the Month should be received by Monday, May 26. Once Geocaching HQ has received the nominations, we will choose the top candidates and post them on the blog. You will then get a chance to champion your favorite. Our goal is to involve the entire geocaching community in this process so that we might learn from each other.

Sallie Krawcheck's 10 tips for succeeding on Wall StreetMay 9, 2014: 11:18 AM ET
Sallie Krawcheck was one of the most powerful women on Wall Street before she left her job as president of wealth management at Bank of America (BAC) in 2009.
These days she's helping to promote diversity in finance through a network of 30,000 female professionals, known as 85 Broads. (Krawcheck plans to change the name, which refers to the address of Goldman Sachs' former headquarters.)
Speaking at an event hosted by the Simon Business School this week, Krawcheck offered 10 pieces of advice for how to succeed in business.
1. Don't be part of the pack
Krawcheck says it's possible to do very well on Wall Street by following "the pack," but she says the first key to success in business is to develop your own sense of judgment and ethics.
She gives several examples from her own career where she followed her gut and ended up on the right side of an ethical dilemma.
At Citigroup (C), she pushed to have clients partly reimbursed for losses on assets the bank sold as low risk, but were whipped out when the market collapsed in 2008. She clashed with then CEO Vikram Pandit and was eventually let go, though Citigroup's board ultimately sided with her in the argument.
Before that, she made a controversial decision to take Sanford Bernstein out of the underwriting business, a move that cost the firm money but avoided damaging conflicts of interest.
2. Find a sponsor
Krawcheck says most successful people that she knows are "those folks who have a rabbi or rabbis of some kind."
Not only will a sponsor offer helpful advice, but they will also go to bat for you if necessary, she says.
Related: Warren Buffett on his biggest weakness
At Bank of America, for example, her sponsor was then CEO Ken Lewis, but he stepped down three months after she arrived. When it came time to reorganize, Krawcheck had no sponsor to make the case that she should stay.
3. Everyone fails
Everyone makes mistakes, but most people will have plenty of victories too. In other words, "success is not an end point," says Krawcheck.
She told the aspiring business people to be like a weeble, "to pop right back up after you fall down." Every day is a new opportunity to succeed, and you don't stop trying until you're dead.
4. Diversity pays
A majority of the 85 Broads network believes that gender discrimination still exists and is increasingly subtle.
This is a problem because diversity is crucial for success in business, she says.
Krawcheck says business leaders often make the mistake of hiring people who look and think the way they do because it's risky to hire someone unfamiliar. But she says research has shown that companies with diverse management teams outperform those that are more homogenous.
She believes "group think" on Wall Street helped create the conditions for the 2008 financial crisis. Those in the industry at that time were not evil, she says, "we were just dumb."

5. Nurture your network
Networking is the number one "unwritten" rule for success in business, says Krawcheck.
Making connections with people in your business circle will help you identify new opportunities, spot talent and learn about potential threats. But you have to nurture your network in order for it to yield results.
Krawcheck recommends doing one favor for a person in your network and deepen a relationship at least once a month.
6. Embrace career volatility
Some people say that if you haven't been fired once in your career, then you're not trying hard enough. Krawcheck isn't one of those people, but she's getting there.
She says a career without some ups and downs is not only boring, but probably a sign that "you're in the wrong industry."
The days of spending an entire career at one company are in the past, she says.
7. Don't work for jerks
Life is too short. Take a close look at a company's values before accepting a job, recommends Krawcheck.
8. Work hard
For better or worse, there's still a high correlation between hard work and success. It may not come right away, but hard work is eventually rewarded, she says.
Related: Get out from under a heavy workload
9. But rest, too
Working too hard leads to poor performance. Downtime can lead to increased creativity. Krawcheck says she's had some of her best investment ideas on the weekend after playing with her children or while having her hair done.
10. Perspective is everything
Krawcheck appeared on the front page of the Wall Street Journal after being "fired" from Bank of America.
There are two ways to look at a situation like this, she says. The first is to say "Oh my god this is embarrassing. I know a lot of people read the Wall Street Journal…I think they're going to know."
Another way to look at it, is to say "How cool is this? I'm on the front page of the Wall Street Journal."
As a bonus, Krawcheck threw in one extra tip: Have fun.

App-based ride services such as uberX, Lyft and Sidecar could put unlimited drivers on the road at a time under a deal Seattle Mayor Ed Murray announced Monday.
The city also would add 200 taxi licenses under the plan and loosen other industry restrictions to help cab drivers compete.
Murray hailed his proposal as a victory for popular technology and for an aging taxi industry burdened with too many rules.
"We have deregulated a highly regulated monopoly," Murray said at a news conference, flanked by representatives of Lyft, uberX wheelchair-accessible taxis, and for-hire companies.
Murray's proposal includes wins and losses for each type of ride service.
After showing plenty of resistance, services such as uberX and Lyft will have to increase their insurance and training standards, just as legislation passed this month in Colorado requires.
Rides from all services would be subject to a 10-cent surcharge that would help fund wheelchair-accessible taxis, which are more expensive to operate.
The city's number of taxi licenses would still be limited, but 200 more would be added over the next four years. The city now has 688 taxi licenses and hasn't added any since at least 1990.
Under Murray's proposal, taxi licenses could become taxi medallions, which would officially make the licenses financial property for whoever owns one.
For-hire companies such as Eastside for Hire and CNG for Hire will for the first time be able to pick up people who flag them on the street. Taxis still would be the only service allowed to pick up riders from hotel taxi stands.
But Murray's deal -- which emerged from a grueling 55-day negotiation among representatives from Murray's office and the taxi, for-hire and app-based ride-service industries -- is still far from becoming law.
The Seattle City Council first would have to repeal regulations it approved in March limiting app-based services to each having 150 drivers on the road at a time. There currently are at least 2,000 Lyft and Uber drivers combined.
The ride-service industry responded to the council's move with a referendum effort -- heavily funded by Uber, Lyft and Sidecar -- that submitted enough signatures in April to block the City Council's regulations from going into effect.
Murray said Monday he hopes the council repeals the current rules and approves the new agreement so that voters don't have to become involved in the fall.
He was uncertain whether there would be enough council support to approve his proposal. City Council members have spent more than a year deliberating regulations for the quickly evolving ride-service market.
"I know they will drill down on this, so I don't take [the deal] as a given," Murray said.
Councilmember Sally Clark said Monday she's interested to see the particulars of Murray's proposal once it's been drafted.
Along with Councilmembers Bruce Harrell, Mike O'Brien, Nick Licata, Kshama Sawant and Jean Godden, Clark supported some form of cap on the number of drivers for services such as Lyft, uberX and Sidecar.
Clark said one of her main reasons was the companies' lack of transparency as the City Council attempted negotiating regulations with them.
"The caps have been part of the conversation because it's been unclear up to this point whether they are operating with proper insurance and adequate training," Clark said. "We'll go back to what we started with: caring about consumer safety and transparency that ensures some accountability."
Several taxi advocates have filed a suit against the city, claiming that the referendum aimed at the fall ballot is not legitimate. Because regulation of the taxi industry is delegated to Seattle by the state, the suit argues that a city-based referendum cannot repeal the City Council's regulations.
Unless the referendum fails or the City Council repeals its approved regulations, services such as Lyft, uberX and Sidecar are technically illegal in Seattle.
But Murray said he was satisfied enough with negotiations to take back a threat to issue cease-and-desist orders to the services.

Jesus Is Watching You
Jesus Is Watching
There was a burglar who broke into a home and started to gather the items he wanted to take. All of a sudden he heard, "Jesus is watching you!" He didn't see anything in the dark house, so he went on with what he was doing.
He heard, "Jesus is watching you!" again and then he really wondered who was saying that. He turned on the flashlight, scanned the room, and finally saw a parrot.
"Did you say that?" asked the burgler.
"Yes," replied the parrot.
"By the way, what's your name?" the burgler inquired. "Moses," answered the parrot.
"That's a strange name for a parrot. Who named you that?"
"The same people who named their rotweiller Jesus!"

World Bulletin/News Desk
U.S. drug regulators gave the nod to a wider use for Roche Holding AG's eye drug Lucentis, approving it for diabetic patients with a vision-robbing eye condition.
Lucentis, made by Roche unit Genentech, is already prescribed for two other eye ailments.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's approval makes it available for people with diabetic macular edema, or DME, the most common cause of blindness in people of working age.
The once-monthly injection is now the only FDA-approved drug specifically targeted at DME. But a highly promising candidate from Regeneron Pharmaceuticals Inc may be not too far behind.
DME is a swelling of the retina that occurs in diabetics who suffer from retinopathy, the most common eye disease for people with diabetes. In people affected by DME, damaged blood vessels leak fluid into the retina. This causes blurred vision and severe vision loss.
In 2010, about 3.9 million adults diagnosed with diabetes reported trouble with their vision, the FDA said.
DME has long been treated by laser, which stops blood vessel leakage. Laser treatment can slow vision loss, but rarely leads to vision improvement.
Insulin, which helps people with diabetes control their blood sugar, is also approved for DME, the FDA said, as better-controlled diabetes reduces the likelihood of vision loss.
In clinical trials, Lucentis helped people see at least 15 extra letters on an eye chart. People were also generally able to sustain the vision improvement for at least 24 months. But they have to continue taking the drug to maintain the benefits.
"Today's approval represents a major development for the treatment of people whose vision is impaired by DME," said Dr. Renata Albrecht, director of the FDA's ophthalmology products division.
The FDA approved only the 0.3 mg dose of Lucentis, saying a higher dose that was tested showed no extra benefit in vision.
Genentech said it would sell the 0.3 mg dose for $1,170, compared with the $1,950 it charges for the 0.5 mg dose used to treat other eye conditions.
Lucentis is also approved for wet age-related macular degeneration - the leading cause of blindness among the elderly - and for macular edema following retinal vein occlusion (RVO), a swelling or thickening of the part of the retina responsible for central vision.
For macular degeneration, Lucentis has long competed with Regeneron's drug Eylea as well as with Roche's own cancer drug Avastin, which works in a similar manner but for a fraction of the price.
Avastin is not approved for eye disease. But some doctors have cut the cancer treatment into the small doses needed for an eye injection, which costs only about $50.
A U.S. government study last year found the two drugs to be similarly effective for treating macular degeneration.
However, doctors may be more hesitant to use Avastin for patients with diabetes, said Dr. David Brown, a lead investigator for the Lucentis DME trial, and an associate clinical professor at the Methodist Hospital in Houston.
"The sense in the retina community, for whatever reason, is that Avastin doesn't seem to work as well as Lucentis in DME," Brown said.
Roche unit Genentech has also cautioned that Avastin increased the risk of stroke and heart attack in cancer trials, and noted that diabetics are already at much higher risk for serious heart problems.
Alfonso Calvo Rodriguez of Port Isabel, Texas, has had diabetes for about 13 years. He was diagnosed with DME in 2008. Soon, his eyesight made it difficult to drive.
"I would drive with my binoculars next to me, so I could look at the signs or names of streets," he said.
Rodriguez, 57, was forced to have laser surgery to remove blood from his eyes after hemorrhages. His doctor recommended that he enroll in the Lucentis clinical trial at the Methodist Hospital in Houston.
He has been getting monthly injections of the drug for over three years, and said he now needs only glasses to drive.
"I can do just about anything," he said. "I can read. I can work on my computer. I can drive perfectly fine and see the signs on the streets. I'm sure I'd be blind if I didn't have the injections."
The FDA said about 34 percent to 45 percent of those treated with the 0.3 mg dose of Lucentis in clinical trials had vision improvement, compared with 12 percent to 18 percent of those getting no injection.
Common side effects included eye pain, increased pressure inside the eye, and bleeding of the conjunctiva, the tissue that lines the inside of the eyelids and covers the white part of the eye.Last Mod: 11 Ağustos 2012, 10:24

When you work at Amoeba Music there's certain questions you answer over and over again:
"Where's the restroom?"
"Why's this one this price and this one this price?"
"Where can I find Edith Piaf?"
That last question is occasionally (to my endless amusement) pronounced as, "Where can I find Edith Pilaf?" to which I always want (but never) answer:
"We file her in-between Condoleezza Rice and Tim Curry. They all go great together."
My internalized snarkiness aside, I'm all for Edith Piaf. Who could hate La Môme Piaf (her French nickname, literally translated as "That short woman in the black dress with the amazing voice but tragic make-up which someone should seriously having a talking-to-her about")?
But I think too many people stop with Piaf and don't investigate the chanson française of her peers, which is a shame because there's so much to love. Below I offer some performers I think are à l'opposé de terrible.

Just 14 recruits in push for teachers
A $16 MILLION federal Labor commitment to stem the shortage of maths and science teachers by fast-tracking bankers, accountants and engineers into classrooms has recruited only 14 participants.
The Teach Next scheme was announced by the Prime Minister, Julia Gillard, during the 2010 election, when she promised that Labor would bring 450 mid-career professionals into teaching over four years.
Teach Next was supposed to help address teacher shortages in regional and hard-to-staff schools and reduce the numbers teaching outside subject areas.
However, just 14 participants have been placed in schools after two intakes and every state and territory, except Victoria and the ACT, has declined to participate or has pulled out.
Half of the promised funding - $8.1 million - had been redirected to Teach for Australia, a program that places high-achieving non-teaching graduates in disadvantaged schools.
Participants in Teach Next are parachuted into schools after six weeks' intensive training at Victoria's Deakin University, eventually earning a postgraduate diploma of teaching after two years. Grants of up to $10,000 are offered to contribute to course costs and assist with relocation.
''This is about bringing people into teaching from all walks of life,'' Ms Gillard said when she announced the scheme at her old school in Adelaide, Unley High, in 2010. ''Teach Next will help reduce teacher shortages in crucial subject areas like maths and science and help create a teaching workforce with greater diversity.''
Associate Professor Damian Blake, from the school of education at Deakin University, said Teach Next had attracted a lot of very highly qualified people.
The first intake of the program last year attracted 71 applications and the second attracted 521 applications.
However, Professor Blake said the program had been stymied by different legislation and regulations in each state and territory. Some jurisdictions did not allow people to teach in schools unless they were fully qualified while others had requirements on teaching certain subjects.
A NSW education department spokesman said NSW had agreed to take 10 Teach Next recruits during the first year of the program, but only two candidates were identified as eligible.
A spokeswoman for the federal School Education Minister, Peter Garrett, said the number of states which had chosen not to offer vacancies had reduced the number of teachers taking part.
The program had been stymied by different legislation and regulations in each state and territory.

Dress it up for the office with supportive low heel boots in leather, suede, or syn.
For keeping it cool or hitting the town, you gotta have some lace up booties.

Lace-up wedge ankle boots can majorly elevate your dressy style. Simply add a knot and go!

PASADENA, Texas — Two teenage girls are accused of stabbing a 75-year-old man to death in a robbery that netted them just $15, and police say the mother of one of the teens helped put them up to it.
Dannette R. Gillespie, 38, gave knives to her 15-year-old daughter and Vanessa Anne Ocampo, 19, then waited in their car while the teens robbed and killed Eugene Palma, according to a probable cause warrant.
All three were charged with capital murder Friday and were being held without bail. Police did not immediately respond to a call Saturday asking if the suspects had attorneys to speak for them.
Palma, a bar owner, was found stabbed several times in the driveway of his home in this Houston suburb Wednesday. He did not know the women, Pasadena police said.
According to the warrant, Ocampo told police the three had been looking for someone to rob that morning.
"He would've given them money — that's the crazy thing," Kim Nawrot, a bartender at Palma's bar, told the Houston Chronicle. "He was the kind of guy that would've given anyone the shirt off of his back."
A palm print on Palma's car led police to the women, authorities said. Gillespie and her daughter, who was not identified because she is a juvenile, were arrested in Pasadena. Ocampo was arrested in San Antonio.
Police said Ocampo told investigators the three went to Palma's bar and followed him home, and that Gillespie handed knives to her daughter and Ocampo and "encouraged them to commit the robbery."
The two younger women went through Palma's pockets and car in search of money and Ocampo took $15, according to the warrant.

Bon Iver has launched a contest inviting fans and haters alike to remix its latest record, the creatively titled Bon Iver. In collaboration with Spotify and Indaba Music, the Stems Project allows interested parties to take the individual audio tracks from the record and re-work them. Finally, the world will have the trance remix of "Holocene" it's been waiting for.
There's a separate contest for each song on the record, and all submitted remixes will be put up for public vote on Indaba Music. After tallying the numbers, Bon Iver will decide the final winners, each of whom will receive $1000. The 10 winning tracks will then be assembled into a complete album and released on Spotify.
Members of Bon Iver have already been fooling around with the tracks and making their own mixes. Drummer S. Carey's new version of "Minnesota, WI," for example, is somehow more delicate and hypnotic than the original.

Jeremiah 31 English Standard Version (ESV)
The Lord Will Turn Mourning to Joy
31 "At that time, declares the Lord, I will be the God of all the clans of Israel, and they shall be my people."
2 Thus says the Lord:
7 For thus says the Lord:
10 "Hear the word of the Lord, O nations,
15 Thus says the Lord:
16 Thus says the Lord:
21 "Set up road markers for yourself;
23 Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: "Once more they shall use these words in the land of Judah and in its cities, when I restore their fortunes:
"'The Lord bless you, O habitation of righteousness,
24 And Judah and all its cities shall dwell there together, and the farmers and those who wander with their flocks. 25 For I will satisfy the weary soul, and every languishing soul I will replenish."
26 At this I awoke and looked, and my sleep was pleasant to me.
27 "Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man and the seed of beast. 28 And it shall come to pass that as I have watched over them to pluck up and break down, to overthrow, destroy, and bring harm, so I will watch over them to build and to plant, declares the Lord. 29 In those days they shall no longer say:
"'The fathers have eaten sour grapes,
30 But everyone shall die for his own iniquity. Each man who eats sour grapes, his teeth shall be set on edge.
The New Covenant
31 "Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel and the house of Judah, 32 not like the covenant that I made with their fathers on the day when I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, my covenant that they broke, though I was their husband, declares the Lord. 33 For this is the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel after those days, declares the Lord: I will put my law within them, and I will write it on their hearts. And I will be their God, and they shall be my people. 34 And no longer shall each one teach his neighbor and each his brother, saying, 'Know the Lord,' for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest, declares the Lord. For I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more."
35 Thus says the Lord,
37 Thus says the Lord:
38 "Behold, the days are coming, declares the Lord, when the city shall be rebuilt for the Lord from the Tower of Hananel to the Corner Gate. 39 And the measuring line shall go out farther, straight to the hill Gareb, and shall then turn to Goah. 40 The whole valley of the dead bodies and the ashes, and all the fields as far as the brook Kidron, to the corner of the Horse Gate toward the east, shall be sacred to the Lord. It shall not be plucked up or overthrown anymore forever."

The autopsy for a 13-year-old Northern California fatally shot by Sonoma County sheriff's deputies who thought his replica gun was real earlier this week shows he was shot seven times - within 26 seconds - and the community outrage over the death hasn't waned.
"This wouldn't have happened if this was an upscale kid from Fountain Grove, but because it was someone from the ghetto, it was allowable," said Santa Rosa resident Michael Fuentes. " We're not expendable. We're going to make our voice be heard."
A total of eight rounds were fired, according to a statement put out Thursday by Santa Rosa Police Lt. Paul Henry, whose department is investigating the death. Seven hit the boy, and two were deemed fatal: One to the chest and the second to the hip. Other bullet wounds were found on his right wrist, left bicep, right forearm, right buttocks and hip.
MORE: Sonoma County Deputies Shoot, Kill Boy Carrying Replica Assault Rifle
Deputies said they thought the replica rifle Andy Lopez was carrying in an open field Tuesday afternoon was an AK-47 assault rifle. The officers said they pulled over, took cover and ordered the boy to "put the gun down." One of the deputies told investigators he believed the boy was going to shoot at him or his partner so he fired several rounds.
It all happened very quickly. Santa Rosa police released a timeline - to the second - of the shooting:
- 3:14:15 - Dispatch creates report of suspicious person walking near Moorland and West Robles avenues.
- 3:14:19:- Deputies call for emergency asistance.
- 3:14:25 - Deputies notifiy dispatch that shots have been fired.
- 3:14:41 - Emergency crews asked to come to the scene.
