It includes a wrapper for building programs against musl in place of the system standard library (e.g. glibc), making it possible to immediately evaluate the library and build compact statically linked binaries with it.

After Mitt Romney's week from hell, Democrats now risk being overconfident. This election is in the bag, many think — and who knows what other unexpected gifts Romney may still send President Obama's way? But it's far too early for Democrats to pop open the champagne. With national polls still showing the race close, the impact of the debates hard to predict and more bad news entirely possible on the foreign policy and employment fronts, the White House would be wise to take out some insurance.
Fortunately, I have a plan. Think of it as a modest proposal to clinch the deal. It's this: The Obama campaign should pay (yes, pay) undecided voters to watch two videos in full — the Romney 47 percent debacle in Boca Raton; and Bill Clinton's speech at the Democratic National Convention.

Committee backs hiring of engineer for parking lot
As the community gathered in a joyous ceremony to light the Christmas tree Tuesday evening, county commissioners and the mayor clashed inside the courthouse over the animal control officer and the jail parking lot.
The Carter County Budget Committee approved an engineer for the proposed parking lot at the Carter County Jail. Mayor Leon Humphrey had taken to issue to the last full commission meeting, but commissioners sent the proposal back to the Budget Committee for approval.
Humphrey said Tysinger, Hampton and Partners made a bid of $15,300 to do the engineering work for the parking lot, which will be on the site of the recently-removed jail pods. The mayor pointed out that the county had agreed with the city to remove the pods and build a parking lot in their place.

Tanning salon fills last empty unit in revamped Carlisle arcade
Last updated at 12:39, Friday, 21 December 2012
The opening of a tanning salon this week marks the final step in the revival of Carlisle's Lowther Arcade.
Four years ago the Edwardian shopping mall, which runs between English Street and Lowther Street, had only two tenants and was looking decidedly tired.
But a £50,000 makeover instigated by Walton Goodland, the managing agent, has seen a gradual transformation in its fortunes.
One by one the units have filled up, despite the credit crunch followed by a double-dip recession.
Glam Tan, which opened yesterday, occupies the last vacant unit.
It is a family enterprise run by Tracey Hull, of Cummersdale, and her son Jamie, 22, a time-served plumber who has given up the trade because of lack of work.
There are five tanning booths – three sunbeds and two stand-up cubicles with vibrating plates so that customers can exercise while they top up their tan.
Some have a setting suitable for people with the skin-condition psoriasis who can benefit from UVB phototherapy.
Upstairs, Mrs Hull has a shop, trading as Glam, selling handbags, jewellery and fashion accessories.
There is also a treatment room and there are plans to employ a beauty therapist in the New Year.
Mrs Hull, 41, said: "We think there's room for another tanning salon in Carlisle. We wanted to do something as a family and I've always been into the fashion side.
"The unit is ideal. It's central, the size and layout were just what we needed and it's in a nice arcade.
"I think it will bring more people into Lowther Arcade. That can only be good for the businesses already here."
Glam Tan is open 10am to 8pm on Mondays to Fridays and 10am to 7pm on Saturdays.
Lowther Arcade dates from 1904. Four years ago, four of the six units were empty, as was the former Yates's Wine Bar near the English Street entrance.
The only tenants were the Circle Bar and the hairdresser Boo. Walton Goodland's revamp involved repainting and cleaning the roof glazing to make it lighter and more welcoming and installing new fire-safety and electrical systems.
The agent offered potential tenants incentives such as a year rent-free if they took a five-year lease.
What was Yates's is now gay-friendly nightspot Outrageous. The Changing Room, a dress agency and boutique, arrived in 2009.
The Circle Bar extended into the vacant unit next door in summer 2011 and in August last year a new cafe/bar, Bocata, opened in one of the two units fronting Lowther Street.
This April Boo moved into the second unit facing Lowther Street leaving its old premises vacant until Glam Tan moved in. The former Carr's Jewellers facing English Street remains vacant but is not strictly part of Lowther Arcade,
Stephen Sewell, a director of Walton Goodland, said: "This is the first time in eight or nine years that it has been fully let, which we are delighted about.
"Walton Goodland have let a lot of shops recently, not just in Lowther Arcade.
"It is a combination of landlords being realistic about rents and independent local retailers being increasingly willing to take units.
"They take the view that we've been into an economic downturn for four years and they have got to get on with life. If they can get a good deal to get in somewhere, they're doing it."

This petition closed 5 months ago
Breed specific legislation (BSL) is not the answer to our aggressive dog problems, irresponsible dog ownership is. We should work towards teaching people the correct way to live and love dogs, with more vigilant screening tests for people wanting pets.
Pit bulls are known for their kind nature and love of children. Aggressiveness in a pit bull is uncommon and highly undesirable, however the breed is specifically chosen as fighting dogs. These fighting dogs know nothing more than pain and suffering and that humans are bad, "they hurt us." If you put a lab, golden retriever, or a collie in that situation, they would be just as aggressive.
In our line of work, we have come upon mushes of pit bulls, who want nothing more than to be pet and to lick your face, while the labs and collies snarl at us, and vice versa.
Raise a dog in a loving home and the dog will be as gentle as a blanket. Raise the dog in a violent home and the dog will become aggressive.
Please do not punish the breed for our mistakes in raising them. They do not deserve the reputation they have. Please sign today to let New York officials know that we will not stand for BSL.
For more information or to contact us, please visit www.facebook.com/LIONature.

A woman facing charges of intoxication assault and failure to stop and render aid will have her punishment decided by a jury.
A panel was chosen on Monday in 290th District Court in the case of Julie Bronson, 45, who investigators said ran down a woman and her small children in their front yard in April 2009.
Eighteen-month-old Ava Lopez was seriously injured. Her mother, Traci Lopez, and her 3-year-old sister were also hurt.
After her car jumped a curb in front of the Lopez home and struck the three, Bronson allegedly continued on.
Her tires had blown out and she was driving on the rims, according to Lopez.
Bronson is facing a punishment range of two to 10 years in prison.

Hey all,
I just installed the Delta tub and shower kit for my bathroom. It was pretty simple except for the tub spout. Took me a while but figured it out.
Now here's the problem. When I turn off the water, there's still a drip of water that comes out of the spout. I would say a drip every 2 seconds. I made sure all the connections were tight and everything was done correctly.
Any suggestions on what to look for?

Trip Couch begins his third season at the University of Houston after being named an assistant coach on July 8, 2010.
Couch rejoined the Cougar baseball program after a stint as assistant coach from 1995 to 2000. He and Whitting served as assistant coaches at UH together from 1996 to 2000. As a member of Whitting's staff, Couch serves as Cougar baseball's recruiting coordinator. He is also responsible for coaching the outfielders and catchers and implementing the short game offensively. In addition, he coordinates the offense with Coach Whitting.
In 2013, Couch was part of a Houston program that notched to its first 30-win season since 2008, posting a 36-22 overall mark and a 13-11 record in C-USA play. He helped coach junior Frankie Ratcliff to C-USA Newcomer of the Year honors, while freshman Justin Montemayor was tabbed as the league's Freshman of the Year. He saw Montemayor and fellow freshman Kyle Survance honored as Freshman All-Americans and watched senior pitcher Austin Pruitt drafted in the ninth round of the MLB First-Year Player Draft by the Tampa Bay Rays. Also drafted were junior Daniel Poncedeleon (Rd. 14/Chicago Cubs), senior Matt Hernandez (Rd. 23/Los Angeles Angels) and junior Frankie Ratcliff (Rd. 40/Arizona Diamondbacks).
In 2012, Couch helped guide freshman Michael Pyeatt to Conference USA All-Freshman Team honors, while sophomore Landon Appling earned a spot on the C-USA All-Tournament Team. Seniors Mo Wiley (28th/862-Reds), John Cannon (29th/896-Dodgers), and Jared Ray (34th/1053-D-Backs) were later taken on their respective teams in the MLB First-Year Player Draft.
In his first season at Houston, Couch helped the 2011 team to an appearance in the Conference USA Tournament Championship for the first time since 2008. Freshman Landon Appling went on to earn All-Freshman Team honors and senior Caleb Ramsey was named to the All-C-USA Second Team. Ramsey went on to be drafted in the 11th round of the Major League Baseball draft.
In preparation for his third season on staff, Couch was instrumental in the addition of 15 student-athletes to the 2013 roster.
While on staff at Houston, Couch served as the team's hitting and offensive coach, recruiting coordinator and he also performed administrative duties, including travel and scheduling. He also served as both a first base and third base coach during his time at UH. Couch's teams still rank among the single-season leaders at the plate and the 2000 squad set a school record with 48 wins.
Under Couch's guidance, the 1997 Cougar baseball team set school records in batting average (.327), runs scored (508) and hits (769), while the 2000 squad still holds the record with 157 doubles. The 2000 team saw 12 players drafted in the Major League Baseball draft, the most that season by any school in the nation.
As a member of the staff, Couch's teams qualified for three NCAA Regionals, an NCAA Super Regional and won two Conference USA regular-season titles and two C-USA Tournament championships.
Following his time at Houston, Couch served as an assistant at Texas in 2001, coordinating team travel, NCAA practice logs, and team scheduling, while performing duties as the first-base coach before joining the Arizona Diamondbacks as a scout in 2002. The Texas Longhorns also participated in 2001 NCAA Stanford Regional. He scouted in the state of Texas and Louisiana and oversaw all try-out camps in the territory. While with Arizona, Couch signed four players that have reached the Major Leagues.
Before joining the UH staff in 1995, Couch served as the marketing and promotions coordinator for the Cougar baseball and football programs in 1994. He was also assistant coach at Louisiana-Lafayette from 1991-92 and served as a student assistant and bullpen catcher for the Cougars from 1987-1990. While at Louisiana-Lafayette, the Ragin' Cajun participated in two NCAA Regionals.
Couch was a member of the Team USA coaching staff in 1999. He also served as coach at the Area Code Games as well as serving on the staff of the Pony Team at the Tournament of Stars where the 18U USA National Team is selected.
Couch is married to the former Tiffany Williams. The couple has three daughters, Chandler Gray, Kendall Blair and Katelyn Richardson. The family lives in Sugar Land.

(Continued from page 1)

And ticket prices were frozen for the third time in five years.
Red Sox chief operating officer Sam Kennedy said 87 percent of season ticket-holders renewed this offseason, down from 95 percent the year before. Although the team has sold 2.2 million tickets before opening day, the plummeting prices on the resale market may have scared off season ticket-holders who needed to unload games they couldn't use.
The sellout streak of 793 regular-season games — 819, including playoffs — shattered the record of 455 set by the Cleveland Indians when they opened Jacobs Field and also surpassed the all-sports record set by the NBA's Portland Trail Blazers from 1977-95.
But there has been some doubt about the integrity of the sellouts, with The Boston Globe last year sending reporters to ticket windows into the seventh inning to buy seats for supposedly sold-out games. (The team says it uses the definition of a sellout that is common in the industry, one that includes give-aways and standing room sales that bring the attendance above the seating capacity.)
The end of the streak will be a good thing for many fans, especially those who had been unable to land tickets in the past. Some games have as many as 5,000 seats still available; Lucchino said groups of up to 200 can still buy tickets to many games.
"Throughout the streak, there was an assumption that you couldn't get tickets," Steinberg said. "We want to make sure that those who want to go to a game know that they can.
"Is there an 8-year-old in Burlington, Vt., who has never been able to come to a game? You have to believe there is," Steinberg said, arguing that the ability to draw in new fans will help the team in the long run. "This place is only nostalgic if it reminds you of your youth."

2011 Season in Review: Arizona Diamondbacks
Posted by beaston26 on 1st November 2011
The Arizona Diamondbacks were one of the biggest surprises of 2011 going from worst to first in one year. The 2010 version of the Diamondbacks featured sloppy defensive play, poor pitching, and a lot of strikeouts at the plate. Manager Kirk Gibson and former San Diego Padres GM Kevin Towers instilled an entirely new attitude in his team that had them competing 9 innings every night. This led to a decrease in runs allowed by 152 runs! The organization has assembled a bunch of young players who will get to grow together alongside their manager in an organization with a clear direction so they will continue to be a team to watch out for years to come.
The makeup of the Arizona Diamondbacks team was constructed in a similar fashion to their NL West counterpart Los Angeles Dodgers. Starter Ian Kennedy, acquired in a 3-team deal last year, emerged as the team's ace and a Cy Young contender. Kennedy led the team in strikeouts, wins, and ERA. During a stretch from July 8th through the end of the regular season Kennedy received winning decisions in 13 out of 15 starts. Joe Saunders and Daniel Hudson did a solid job backing up Kennedy to provide an adequate 1-2-3 rotation. The duo combined for a 28-25 record with a mid 3 ERA. Rookie Josh Collmenter also kept opponents off-balance with his unorthodox delivery. While Kennedy set the tone for the pitching staff, Justin Upton did most of the damage for the offense. Upton led the team in home runs, RBIs, stolen bases, and is developing into one of the best outfielders in the major leagues. Miguel Montero was an all-around contributor from catcher. He provided excellent protection for Upton hitting behind him and played great defense as the backstop. Gerardo Parra,a defensive replacement most of his career, developed into a starting outfielder and led the team in batting average. Paul Goldschmidt, a late-season call up, looks to be the real deal at first base and should be a fixture in the heart of the order for years to come. Manager Kirk Gibson did an excellent job making the most out of his entire roster night in and night out to get the results he wanted. Gibson is a leading candidate for Manager of the Year.
If the Diamondbacks are truly going to be contenders for the foreseeable future they will have to further improve their infield. Veteran second basemen Aaron Hill did a nice job when acquired mid-season from Toronto and third basemen Ryan Roberts was a surprise, but neither is a long-term answer. Shortstop Stephen Drew was hurt in July but has not lived up to his draft status. Willie Bloomquist did OK filling in for him, but is nothing more than a stopgap. Also the back end of the rotation needs to be shored up. Jason Marquis was acquired at the trading deadline, but got hurt in his first start with the team and was out for the year. Chris Young has underperformed almost every year and the organization would be wise to prepare a contingency plan if he continues to underwhelm.
Bright Spots: Ian Kennedy, Justin Upton, Miguel Montero, Paul Goldschmidt, Ryan Roberts, Gerardo Parra, Daniel Hudson, Josh Collmenter, J.J. Putz
Disappointments: Chris Young, Jason Marquis, Stephen Drew, Kelly Johnson, Aaron Heilman, Armando Galarraga

HulaCross Wheel2Wheel Racing on Sunday, December 12th!
Written by Administrator Friday, 03 December 2010 13:40
Hello Hulagans!
We'd like to thank you for your past participation and invite you to the next HulaCross event to be held on Sunday, December 12th, 2010 at Kalaeloa Raceway Park! SCCA Folks, we're sorry but we're unable to hold it on our normal day because we'll be participating in the Kapolei Light Parade. FYI, All future events should fall on the second Saturday of every month.
With the holiday season upon us, we know that your time is valuable, but we appreciate your support in developing HulaCross over the past few months. We would like to present our preliminary rules for the upcoming 2011 HulaCross Season. Please take the time to read through the new changes we'll be making as well as noting the new safety requirements. The morning practice will be exactly the same as the last event, with open lapping. The afternoon, however, will introduce two new divisions: Hulagan Racing & HulaCross.
Click this link for the official Hula-X Rules
You can also find the rules on the navigation bar above under Motorsports > Hula-X > Rules
PLEASE NOTE: The Official HulaCross rules are not FINAL. They will be discussed at the Dec 12th with our participants. That is why we're not requiring anything to be done for this event. We want to make sure everyone is comfortable and understands the safety requirements for the vehicles.
Hulagan Racing = Wheel 2 Wheel Racing
The 12th will be a landmark event for us as we will be introducing for the first time ever, a flag-to-flag wheel-2-wheel racing component. Willing participants will compete in a lapped race with the first person across the finish line as the winner! This upcoming event will be considered as a trial basis. Due to the short notice, we will not require you to have all of the safety equipment for the December 12th event, but it is highly recommended. To participate in the 2011 Hulagan Racing series you WILL BE REQUIRED to have all of the safety equipment indicated as necessary within the attached rules. Safety equipment noted as recommended are not mandatory but are EXTREMELY encouraged.
HulaCross Timers
We will be re-introducing the use of timers at this next event. For all former Super Lap Series competitors, you may remember the small Hot Lap Timers purchased from www.pegasusautoracing.com. We will be using these once again, so if you still have your old timers, then please make sure to bring them out to the events. For those of you that do not have the Hot Lap Timers, we have 8 of them for rent ($10) which will most likely allow us to run the entire field if we swap them out between runs.
FYI, the old timer design has been discontinued. The new version is called the Hot Lap LTI In-Car Timing System, and retails for about $249 for the entire system. It's very high-tech and works with our current transmitter. We have a great contact with Coyer Enterprises which will allows to do a group buy for the 2011 Season for a much reduced price. Interested parties, please let me know. If you don't rent or have your own timer, you won't be able to get a time for the events. We'll have the group-buy information available soon.
In addition, we request that for this event, you ensure that your assigned vehicle number is in a highly visible location, and that for each run you ensure that it is clean and legible. We intend to use the same numbers as the last event to make sign-up as easy as possible.
That's it for now. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us. We hope to see all of you on Sunday, December 12th, 2010 at Hula-X!

Congratulations to our Hula-X Winners!
Written by Administrator Monday, 15 November 2010 12:38
Our second HulaCross was seriously awesome full of extreme off-road action as well as some of the most amazing jumps and fender-bender carnage Oahu has ever seen! Thanks to the great participation, we were able to give an $800 combined purse for our second event. You can find some fantastic photos at our official Facebook page - Kalaeloa Raceway Park!
We'd like to thank everyone that came out to participate at Hula-X...the drivers put on an incredible show that wowed the crowd, and left most people giggling in excitement, including the drivers themselves! Throughout the day, the crowds ooh'ed and ahh'ed at tons of insane tabletop jumps, thrilled at the mudpit splashes, and screamed at the off-the-wall crashes that resulted in some seriously raw footage that we simply can't wait to put together in our next video. We'd also like to thank our volunteers, including our course workers, timing officials, and our photo/videographers for making the event happen.
Thanks to DH Built for coming out and crushing some cars with his monster rig...it was good fun and a perfect complement to the Hula-X action!
We welcome you to check out our next HulaCross coming in December and join the rest of us as we enjoy what has simply become one of the most phenomenal motorsports events on Oahu.
Heads up to all of our drivers...we would like to put on a flag-to-flag, wheel-2-wheel race, but we simply must require that you have a firesuit, 4,5, or 6 point harness, secure yet removable window nets and/or arm restraints (Need nets on both sides if you have passengers). We are looking at a minimum 4 vehicles for the race. Purses will depend on driver participation.
In addition, we'd like to congratulate our winners in the following photos...awarded by Co-Developer & Park Owner Jeanette Grace.
Fastest Time - Mike Ward - 52.50 - $400
2nd Fastest Time - Boy Moniz - 1:00.06 - $300
3rd Fastest Time - Avery Tsui - 1:00.5 - $100. Avery graciously re-donated his purse winnings towards putting some asphalt down at KRP! Thank you, Avery!

Serves 6
Dal—a thick, spicy Indian stew made with legumes like chickpeas and lentils—is a classic vegetarian dish. It's perfect for nights when you want quick, flavor-packed comfort food.
In a food processor, pulse the onion, garlic, ginger, and chile in 1-second intervals until finely chopped. (Don't run the processor constantly or the mixture will become too watery.)
Heat the oil in a 4- to 5-quart pot over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the mustard seeds. When the seeds begin to pop and turn gray, about 1 minute, stir in the garam masala, onion mixture, lentils, cauliflower, carrots, potatoes, turmeric, 6 cups of water, and 1-1/2 tsp. salt.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, reduce the heat to maintain a gentle simmer, and cover. Simmer until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper and stir in the cilantro.
Serve with Basmati Rice.

1/28/2011This was wonderful. I'm making it for the second time tonight. A really great way to make vegetarian food without missing the meat. I used good spices that I bought from my local Indian grocer, which I think makes a huge difference in this dish. Only complaint... it needs more cauliflower. I LOVE cauliflower.
by Lg2834,
1/26/2011This one just didn't work. There was too much liquid which produced a mashy soup. Also, the end resulted tasted very strongly of onions - I would saute them first with the spices before adding the liquid, maybe that would help. I'd look for another version before I'd try this one again.
by fabulousladyb,
1/24/2011Great flavor and very easy to cook. I used a 1/2 teaspoon of crushed red pepper in place of the serrano chile because I did not have any on hand. I simmered the crushed red pepper and garam masala in the oil for a few minutes before adding the onion mixture, lentils, and vegetables. I also used 4 cups chicken broth and 2 cups water but found this to be too much liquid. Next time I plan to cut the liquid down to 4 cups.

1/17/2011This is my favourite kind of recipe: easy,cheap, healthy and ethnic. After reading the other reviews I decided that I would throw a sweet potato into the mix as well. After the curry had cooked a half hour I just mashed the sweet potato pieces to thicken the sauce. Six cups of water was fine, I thought. I also added cumin seeds and ground coriander after the black mustard seeds. I will definitely make this again.
by CarolDiane,
1/15/2011I made this recipe last night and though I liked the flavor, six cups of water is way too much. By the time I cooked the extra water off, the vegetables had cooked down to complete mush. I liked the flavor, but the next time I make it I will probably only use four cups of water. I topped mine with sour cream.
by Janie25,
1/14/2011The flavor is good but that's all. It wasn't thick by any means, more like a brothy soup instead of a stew. I used canned, drained and rinsed garbanzo beans instead of the red lentils so that may be why, but I can't imagine 1-1/2 c of dry beans would absorb all that liquid. Don't think I'll make it again.
by tncookin,
1/10/2011The heading mentions Chickpeas, but they're nowhere in the ingredient list. Was this a typo? Most Dal recipes I've seen do include these and they'd be a great addition.
by karenckorn,
11/7/2010Amazingly easy to throw together, and fantastic flavor. This would be great one to make a big batch for a casual get together...
by kmark628,
2/11/2010Wow, just made this recipe and it is SPICY! My husband does not like cilantro, so I added frozen peas in for color. Next time I make this I will use 1/4 of the serrano chili instead of the whole thing and I will add one additional carrot.
by mommasue,
1/18/2010Delicious--except I do use half chicken broth/half water to add a bit more depth of flavor the the vegetarian version of this dish. I'm not a vegetarian, but I really love this dal without meat. I've made it several times--not with the lamb, just the vegetables--it's my go-to quick meal. I also do not have the chile on hand, so I use crushed red pepper for heat.

On CBC Radio on Friday mornings, the usual host for the news show "The Current" is replaced by a well known person who is not a broadcaster. Last Friday the guest host was retired Canadian general John de Chastelain (Lliam, you may be familiar with his name as he was brokering the arms decommissioning in Ireland not that long ago). He spoke to Ingo Stawitz, a spokesperson for the German far-right National Democratic Party (NPD). The NPD was mobilizing a march of 10,000 people on the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin to protest VE Day celebrations. The party has not won much support, and the German government has made efforts to ban the party as it is frankly neo-Nazi, but the amount of support it does have is scary. Mr. Stawitz declared that people were tired of hearing about Germany's role in WWII and the Holocaust, and that is time to move on. He also claimed that there was never a peace treaty signed with Germany and that it is under control of the Allied nations and is not independent. His party, of course, wants to change all that. I found it frightening.Originally posted by dai bread:
The only comment I've heard from a German was from a 16-year-old girl who said her generation had put WW2 behind them as a piece of history.
Prince Harry's foolishness attracted a lot of unfavourable comment. Clearly the boy has no idea of his own country's history.
Lliam, maybe out here in the colonies we get a little more bent out of shape about such things!Originally posted by lliam:
What Prince Harry did was, just a young man enjoying himself at a fancy dress party and nothing more.
I think Americans see immigration differently. We can get caught up in the "Us versus Them". So often immigrants are perceived as not becoming American, but simply creating pockets of their old homeland.Originally posted by Angie:
Britain has absorbed immigrants since pre-history. What is there about this recent wave that is so different to make people so upset?

Memo to the Pond Scum Terrorists, or whatever you are calling yourselves these days:
You don't win. Prepare for payback.
Baseball bats. Hockey pucks. Bouncing basketballs. Footballs flying in the air. Boxing gloves going tap-tap-tap.
Pick any sport in America, and it will be there, right in your face, waving flags in the air, singing our National Anthem, kicking you in the gut.
America is bruised and battered, but not broken.
"I think you're going to see this tragedy make us stronger," said Patrick Lyons, a noted restaurateur from Boston. "People are not going to lay down, certainly not Bostonians. These are fighting words for Bostonians."
The Boston Marathon bombings are highly personal for Lyons. It happened in his city. The city where he is friends with a number of sports celebrities. The city of victim Krystle Campbell, 29, one of his employees. She was general manager and catering manager for the Jasper White's Summer Shack restaurants, a partnership White shares with Lyons.
Lyons knows good food. Witness the lavish spread of sushi, crab legs and oysters at a fundraiser Tuesday night at his new establishment, Kings Bowl in Orlando, featuring an eclectic mix of dining, bowling and entertainment.
But like many Bostonians, he's a sports guy trying to get past the initial heartbreak of so much bloodshed and carnage on Monday afternoon. Sports has always been a soothing salve in times of tragedy. Witness the rally cries of patriotism in NFL stadiums and other venues after the 9/11 terrorist attacks. Witness American athletes carrying a tattered flag from 9/11 during the Opening Ceremonies of the 2002 Winter Olympics in Salt Lake City.
At first blush, I was overwhelmed by all those graphic images from Boston and questions ringing in my head -- like what does an 8-year-old-child have to do with your agenda? Evil had triumphed. The healing power of sports was now stained with the blood of three victims and 176 injuries.
Terrorism has forever changed the dynamics of sports in this country, but it only alters the landscape. Lyons and good men like his friend, Celtics coach Doc Rivers, convinced me that we aren't going to cower any time soon.
"They won't take our spirit away," Rivers said. "We'll all be more cautious but at the end of the day and I'm sure of it, you will see it in the spirit of people. They are going to get their lives back. They are not going to tell us how to live.
"Sports is one of vehicles you need in times like these. Sports, family, religion. All of those allow you to get through and be who you are."
It's not just the good folks in Boston. More than 15,000 runners and walkers will gather at Lake Eola Thursday for the IOA Corporate 5K. It's a quick jaunt (for most) though the streets of downtown Orlando, and not a 26.2-mile odyssey, but every step will be marked by perseverance.
The event did not get canceled. Central Florida runners did not cower under their beds.
Look all around you folks. The New York Yankees, Hatfields to Boston's McCoys, honored the city by playing the Fenway Park standard "Sweet Caroline," following the third inning of Tuesday night's game at Yankee Stadium. The front of the Chicago Tribune's sports page Tuesday had images that read "We are Chicago Red Sox," "We are Chicago Celtics", and so forth. Noted New Yorker Jon Stewart placed Bruins and Celtic coffee cups on his desk for his nightly show.
Symbolic gestures. But not trivial. Not at all.
Collectively, they bind friends and enemies. The forces of evil will not prevail.
"As time goes on, what you will see is that the role of sports is not diminished," Lyons said. "The world of sports, the resiliency of the human spirit, you will see it accelerate."
And next year, Lyons said he expects the numbers of participants in the Boston Marathon to double in size from 27,000, assuming runners meet qualifying standards and logistics allow.
"It's an expression unlike many others," he said.
That will include a few unprintable expletives to anyone with bad intentions.

Mayor Rahm Emanuel wants to raise the cigarette tax by 75 cents a pack — leaving Chicago with a combined state and local tax rate of $7.42 a pack, the highest in the nation, City Hall sources said Friday.
Chicago's cigarette tax has been frozen at 68 cents a pack since 2006, after back-to-back increases of 20 and 32 cents a pack. The state and county each tacked on $1 over the last 18 months.
At $6.67 a pack, Chicago's combined state and local tax rate is second only to New York City's $6.86 a pack. A 75-cent increase would raise the city's tax to $1.43 and the overall tax on a pack of cigarettes purchased in Chicago to a whopping $7.42, 56 cents higher than New York.
That would only lengthen the caravan of smokers driving across state lines to purchase cartons of cigarettes in Wisconsin and Indiana. Already, the city's cigarette tax take has plummeted — from a high of $32.9 million in 2006 after two straight years of tax — to $16.5 million this year.
But Emanuel has crusaded for a nationwide ban on menthol cigarettes, which he calls a "gateway to a lifetime of addiction."
He will undoubtedly join the argument that higher cigarette taxes give smokers an incentive to quit. In the meantime, he will use the $10 million in additional revenue to increase by 50 percent a vision and eye-care program now serving 30,000 Chicago Public School students. The mayor also plans to invest more heavily in after-school and summer jobs programs for at-risk youth.
The Chicago Sun-Times reported earlier this month that Emanuel was exploring the possibility of raising taxes on amusements, cigarettes, liquor and personal property lease transactions to chip away at a $338.7 million shortfall in the 2014 budget he will present to the City Council on Wednesday.
Emanuel responded by taking only three tax increases off the table — property, sales and gasoline.
On Friday, City Hall was still deciding whether to raise a two-tiered amusement tax — 5 percent for mid-size venues and 9 percent for large sporting events — amid fierce opposition from the owners of Chicago's professional sports franchises.
"It's important to either freeze [the amusement tax] or reduce it to incentivize teams to reinvest, instead of trying to kill the goose that lays the golden egg," Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz was quoted as telling Crain's Chicago Business this week.
Wirtz, an investor in the company that owns the Sun-Times, could not be reached for comment. In the Crain's interview, he also questioned the city's use of $88.6 million in annual amusement tax revenue.
"There's nothing that I see that the amusement tax is put back into that helps any of the teams. It just suddenly comes right out of the fans' pockets, and it just goes to a large deficit that the city has. I understand the city has a large deficit, but they've taxed us as much as they can tax us," Wirtz said.
No matter what tax increases the mayor proposes in his budget address, they will pale by comparison to what happens next year.
That's when the city is required by state law to make a $600 million contribution to stabilize police and fire pension funds that now have assets to cover just 30.5 and 25 percent of their respective liabilities.
Emanuel wants the Illinois General Assembly to impose annual property tax increases on Chicago homeowners and businesses, but put off the balloon payment for police and fire pensions until 2023 to give the city and its unions time to hammer out employee concessions.
On Friday, the City Council's Progressive Caucus staked out a different position.
In a statement, the eight-member Caucus argued that it would be both "immoral" and damaging to Chicago's economic stability to cut employee pensions because it would leave retirees with less money to maintain their homes and support small businesses.
Instead of supporting Emanuel's plan for employee concessions and annual property tax increases, the Progressive Caucus proposed that a panel of city employees, fund managers and elected officials devise a plan to "dig out of this mess."
The statement made no mention of the commuter tax on suburbanites who work in the city that the Grassroots Collaborative favors and Emanuel has ruled out. It simply said, "This plan must include identifying new sources of revenue that do not rely on the property tax."
The mayor's first budget was balanced with $220 million in taxes, fines and fees, 535 layoffs, three police station closings and the elimination of 1,400 police vacancies.
His second budget cut 275 jobs and held the line on taxes, fines and fees while counting on a combined, $45 million that has been slow to arrive from electronic billboards near expressways and speed cameras near schools and parks.
On Wednesday, speed cameras finally started playing for keeps — by issuing $100 tickets to motorists caught going at least 10 miles over the speed limit.
The potential for a windfall is enormous. In just 40 days, cameras installed at four Chicago parks churned out 204,743 warning notices — and would have generated $12.2 million in fines if they had been churning out tickets at $35 and $100 a pop.
Still, the Emanuel administration hasn't budged from its estimate that speed cameras installed in at least 50 locations will generate $40 million to $60 million in 2014.

In 1999, Khan won a Filmfare Award for Best Supporting Actor for his extended appearance in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai (1998), and since then has starred in several critical and commercial successes, including Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (1999), Tere Naam (2003), Mujhse Shaadi Karogi (2004), No Entry (2005), Partner (2007), Wanted (2009), Dabangg (2010), Ready (2011) and Bodyguard (2011), which has become the second highest-grossing Bollywood film of all-time. Khan has thus established himself as one of the most successful actors of Hindi cinema.
