1. Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to an arrangement designed to improve the ability of payphones to collect accounting data and to monitor payphone events by providing sensors to monitor events such as the removal of the front cover, vault door and coin box. In a preferred embodiment, specially designed brackets containing low power sensors are used to retrofit pre-existing standard hardware to have data or event monitoring capacity. These brackets and sensor arrangements use pre-existing openings and mounting screws located within standard payphone housings thereby allowing easy retrofitting.
2. Description of the Prior Art
It has long been recognized that it is desirable to monitor payphone events and to collect data for audit purposes and the like. For example, it is desirable to be able to monitor both the time and fact of the opening or removal of the vault door which provides a serviceman access to the coin box, as well as removal of the coin box itself.
Additionally, it is desirable to monitor the removal of the front cover which is located above the vault door. Circuits controlling payphone operation are located behind this cover, and a repairman gains access to those circuits by removing this cover.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,567,325 discloses a controller for a coin operated telephone set which incorporates automatic trouble reporting circuitry. A stuck coin indication is provided to a central office, while a microcomputer checks the telephone circuitry and coin chute to determine if they are operational. If they are deemed non-operational, then the stuck coin signal remains until a repair visit corrects the situation. The circuitry described does not monitor the front cover, vault door or coin box. Additionally, the circuits are not described as being low-power and further would apparently not operate if payphone power is cut.
U.S. Pat. No. 4,625,078 discloses a method for fraud prevention in an electronic telephone set. A local memory for storing coin deposit information and generating coin deposit signals is disclosed. This memory is said to be capable of being interrogated remotely by a central office. A cash box detector comprising a mechanical switch which changes state each time a cash box vault door is removed, is described. Additionally, three infrared LED-phototransistor pairs monitor coins entering and leaving the coin chute, and a hopper-overflow LED senses cash box overflow. These optical sensor arrangements may be unreliable, however, because of problems associated with optical sensors such as fouling due to dirt, and require a constant supply of power in order to operate to detect the occurrence of an event.
A system to inform the telephone company when a payphone is being serviced or repaired is needed. Similarly, an improved payphone event monitoring system is needed. The present invention provides a dependable, low power and economical event monitoring system for use in existing or new payphones.
One aspect of the present invention consists of three independent proximity sensors and the brackets on which they are attached. The brackets mount to already existing hardware located in the payphone and the sensors monitor the removal of the front cover, vault door and coin box.
A single bracket containing both a front cover sensor and a vault door sensor bracket is mounted to a mounting deck located over the coin box compartment and behind the front cover. A single screw is used to secure the bracket to an already existing mounting location. Two magnetic proximity switches are secured to this bracket, the first monitors the removal of the front cover, and the second monitors the removal of the vault door.
The vault door sensor is positioned just inside the front cover of the payphone to sense the movement of the vault door latch. A first proximity switch mounted to the bracket along with an actuator mechanism responds to the opening and closing of the vault door latch. A signal is generated when the latch is turned in order to unlock the vault door. The fact and time of occurrence of this signal may be sent to a central telephone office or to any preprogrammed telephone number.
A second sensor, mounted on the same bracket as the first sensor, is positioned to detect the removal of the front cover. When the front cover is removed the second sensor generates a signal, the fact and time of occurrence of which may also be sent to the central office of the telephone company or any preprogrammed telephone number.
A third sensor to detect removal of the coin box is attached to a coin box bracket which is mounted to two existing mounting screws in the coin box compartment. When the coin box is removed the third sensor similarly generates a signal which may be sent to the central office of the telephone company or any preprogrammed number.
A monitor circuit connected to each sensor is responsible for sending a signal to the central office when it is warranted. The telephone company may use the signals to perform a variety of audit functions.
The present invention provides an economical method and apparatus for improving payphones which can easily be added to existing payphones which do not have the capacity to monitor certain events. The sensors of the present inventions are mounted on brackets which can be used to easily retrofit any standard payphone housing using existing mounting locations. No new holes need be drilled for wiring connections or other purposes as already existing holes are used.

A coin box located in the bottom of a payphone collects coins from customers who place calls. A vault door must be removed to gain access to the coin box. A front cover, located above the vault door protects the payphone circuitry and also permits access by repairmen. A key lock must be opened to gain access.
In one embodiment of the present invention, sensors are provided to monitor the front cover, vault door and coin box of a payphone. The brackets containing the sensors are specially designed to fit existing payphone mounting locations and existing cut outs in the payphone are used as wiring passageways so that no modifications are required to attach the system to the payphone.
The following description of the preferred embodiment describes brackets designed to attach to existing mounting hardware in standard Western Electric payphones or for inclusion in other payphones built to standard specifications. It should be understood that the brackets could be redesigned by one skilled in the art to retrofit other brands of existing payphones.
Additionally, the arrangement according to the preferred embodiment utilizes low-power proximity switches and actuators containing permanent magnets. The proximity switches are sensitive to the presence or absence of magnetic fields such as those provided by a permanent magnet. The switch presently used is an Aleph International Model PS 520 Type-C reed relay. While operationally satisfactory, this switch may be more expensive than desirable for some applications and could be replaced with a less expensive reed relay switch, or where low power operation is not critical, any other type of event sensing switch. In the preferred embodiment, the proximity switches are mounted so that their position can be easily adjusted to compensate for tolerances in the payphones mounting holes and the like, and to still achieve proper alignment. This facilitates easy installation in the field.
Operation of these switches is described below by way of the example of sensing opening of the front cover. When the front cover is in place, a permanent magnet is in close proximity to the front cover proximity switch so that reed connectors in the switch are forced apart, opening a circuit. When the front cover is removed the magnet moves away from the proximity sensor, allowing the reed connectors to close which sends a signal indicative of front cover removal. Alternatively, the reed connectors could close a circuit when the permanent magnet is in close proximity, and open when the reverse is true. These proximity switches operate utilizing no power and are consequently extremely dependable since they can operate even if the power lines are cut. Only a small amount of power is necessary to sense opening or closing of the proximity switch.
The present invention is presently preferably used in conjunction with control circuitry of the type found in U.S. application Ser. No. 199,129 entitled "Low Power Control Apparatus For A Coin Operated Telephone" filed on May 26, 1988, assigned to the assignee of the present invention, and incorporated by reference herein. However, the present invention could also be readily used with other controllers. Each of the sensors is connected to a monitor circuit (explained below in conjunction with FIG. 5) which is responsible for sending a message to the central office or any preprogrammed telephone number when conditions warrant.
Turning to the drawings, FIG. 1 is a cutaway view of the lower right portion of a payphone 1 to which the monitoring switch mounting arrangement of the present invention can be added. Utilizing the present invention, payphone 1 is retrofit with monitoring switches to monitor a variety of events such as front cover removal, vault door removal and coin box removal. A mounting deck 2 is located above a coin box compartment 3 which typically includes a coin box 59 (shown in FIG. 4C). Normally, a front cover 35 (shown in FIG. 3C) is locked in place over the mounting deck 2 to protect payphone circuitry, and a vault door 20 (shown in FIG. 2D) is placed over the coin box compartment and locked. A mounting hole 5 is used by the present invention to mount a first bracket containing both the front cover and vault door sensors, as explained below in conjunction with FIG. 2C. Pre-existing square hole 4 is used by a vault door sensor assembly to monitor the vault door latch (not shown), as explained below in conjunction with FIG. 2D.
A coin box switch assembly mounted on a second bracket is retrofit into the coin box compartment 3. Pre-existing hole 8 is used to route wires from the coin box switch to a monitor circuit 510 (shown in FIG. 5).
The operation of the magnetic switch bracket assemblies of the present invention to monitor the front cover, vault door and coin box of a standard payphone housing will now be explained in detail. FIGS. 2A to 2D depict front cover and vault door bracket assembly 10 and illustrate its mounting in a standard payphone 1.
FIG. 2A is a front view of the front cover and vault door sensor bracket assembly 10. In this assembly 10, a vault door proximity switch 7 is attached to a bracket 9 by two pan head screws 13. A plunger 11, a compression spring 12, and an actuator are connectably aligned within a plunger guide 15. As pressure is applied to actuator 14 in the upward direction, plunger 11 also moves upwards to make contact with proximity switch 7.
A front cover proximity switch 17 is also attached to bracket 9. The actuator which interacts with the front cover proximity switch 17 is mounted to the front cover 35, as will be explained below in conjunction with the discussion of FIG. 3C. Leads 16 from front cover switch 17 and vault door switch 7 are connected to the monitor circuit 510 (shown in FIG. 5).
FIG. 2B is a side view of the front cover and vault door sensor bracket assembly 10 of FIG. 2A. In FIG. 2B, a permanent magnet 120 is visible. This magnet 120 is bonded or otherwise attached to the plunger 11 for use with the vault door proximity switch 7. Actuator 14 fits through hole 4 of FIG. 1 to contact the vault door latch 19 (shown in FIG. 2D). When the vault door is locked, the vault door latch 19 pushes actuator 14 upwards, plunger 11 contacts proximity switch 7 and magnet 120 comes in proximity to the switch 7, thereby opening switch 7. When the latch 19 is opened, actuator 14 and plunger 11 move downwards causing the magnet 120 to move away from proximity switch 7, thereby closing switch 7. This switch closure functions to alert the monitor circuit of a vault door opening.
FIG. 2C is another side view of the bracket 9 of FIG. 2A shown mounted to the mounting deck 2 by a single screw 18 in conjunction with a washer, lock washer and nut. Screw 18 passes through the mounting hole 5. The vault screw normally used in standard payphone housings is replaced by the longer slotted screw 18 in order to mount the bracket 9 containing the vault door and front cover sensors. In the presently preferred embodiment, this change to a longer screw is the only hardware change to the hardware of the standard payphone.
FIG. 2D is a cutaway view of the lower portion of payphone 1 in which the brackets and sensors of the present invention are mounted. The bracket 9 containing the front cover switch 7 and vault door switch 17 is mounted on the mounting deck 2. The actuator 14 contacts the vault door latch 19 through an existing opening 4, as best seen in FIG. 1. The vault door latch 19 is part of the vault door lock (not shown) which is accessed by a key in a keyhole 22 to remove the vault door 20.
FIG. 2D depicts the vault door 20 in a locked position. When locked, the vault door latch 19 contacts the actuator 14 and supplies pressure in the upward direction so that plunger 11 contacts the vault door proximity switch 7. Permanent magnet 120 (best seen in FIGS. 2B and 2C) is then close to the proximity switch 7. When the vault door is open, the vault door latch 19 moved downward, causing actuator 14 to also move downward so that plunger 11 disengages from the proximity switch 7.
Front cover proximity switch 17 requires a permanent magnet mounted to the front cover in order to sense front cover removal. FIGS. 3A and 3B depict a front view and side view respectively, of a front cover magnet mounting bracket 30. FIG. 3C depicts the bracket 30 mounted to the inside of the front cover 35 to an existing mounting location by hex nuts 33.
When the front cover 35 is fitted to the payphone, a permanent magnet 32 is positioned close to the front cover proximity switch 17 of the bracket 9 of FIG. 2A. A cutaway top view depicting the relationship of the magnet 32 to the switch 17 is shown in FIG. 3D. The front cover 35 is shown in place, with permanent magnet 32 of the front cover magnetic bracket 30 located next to proximity switch 17 of bracket 9. When the front cover 35 is removed the proximity switch 17 reacts to the removal of the magnet 32 generating a signal indicative of front cover removal.
A third sensor to monitor coin box removal is mounted in the coin box compartment 3 shown in FIG. 1. FIG. 4A is a top view and FIG. 4B is a side view of a coin box switch assembly 50. A coin box mounting bracket 52 contains slots 53 that fit preexisting mounting screws of the existing lock assembly found in the coin box compartment of a standard Western Electric type payphone. A proximity switch 55 and actuator 56 attached to the bracket 52 are disposed to sense the presence or absence of the coin box (shown in FIG. 4C). Actuator 56 contains a permanent magnet 58 for use with the proximity switch 55, as will be explained below in conjunction with FIG. 4C.
FIG. 4C is a cutaway view of the payphone coin box compartment 3 containing the coin box switch assembly 50 and illustrates the insertion or removal of a coin box 59. The actuator 56 depicted in FIG. 4C is in the open position indicating the absence of the coin box. However, when the coin box is pushed all the way into the coin box compartment, the actuator 56 is pressed towards the proximity switch 55, positioning permanent magnet 58 adjacent to the switch 55. When the coin box is removed, the actuator moves magnet 58 away from proximity switch 55, opening or closing a circuit to create a signal indicative of coin box removal.
The three sensors of the present invention create signals sensed by a monitor circuit. These signals indicate front cover, vault door and coin box removal. FIG. 5 is a circuit diagram of the presently preferred monitor circuit 510 for use with the present invention. The monitor circuit 510 examines the proximity switches and when necessary, initiates a call to the central office or any preprogrammed number. For a more detailed discussion of the operation of this circuit see U.S. Ser. No. 199,129 referred to above. Other suitable monitoring circuits for use in sensing the proximity switches could be readily devised using routine skill in the art.
According to the present invention, any one sensor or combination of sensors can be added to a standard payphone. FIG. 6 is a cutaway side view of a lower portion of payphone 1 illustrating the positions of each of the mounted bracket sensor assemblies of the present invention. The front cover and vault door bracket 9 is mounted to the mounting deck 2 using a single screw (not shown) behind front cover 35. The front cover magnet bracket 30 is mounted to the front cover 35 so that permanent magnet 32 is adjacent to the front cover proximity switch 17 when the cover is in place.
In FIG. 6, the vault door is removed and the vault door latch is open so that actuator 14 is not in contact with the latch. Plunger 11 and permanent magnet 120 are therefore not in close proximity to the vault door proximity switch 7, indicating a vault door open condition.
Also depicted in FIG. 6 is the mounting of the coin box sensor bracket 52 to the bulk head in the coin box compartment 3, using existing mounting screws 60 and lock washers and nuts. The actuator 56 is pushed towards the proximity switch located beneath it when the coin box (shown in FIG. 4C) is inserted.
The bracket and sensor assemblies of the present invention provide an event monitoring system for use in standard payphones. These assemblies are easy to install because they can be mounted using pre-existing mounting locations and are readily adjusted if mounting slots, such as slot 180 (shown in phantom lines in FIG. 3D) are employed. Such slots are presently preferred to allow ready adjustment. While a preferred arrangement of sensors has been described, allowing a central office or any preprogrammed number to be informed when the coin box, vault door or front cover has been removed so that appropriate action may be taken, it should be appreciated that more or less sensors may be employed depending upon the application. The presently preferred sensors can operate even if power to the payphone has been cut. This makes for a dependable system.

Travel Guide
In a nutshell
Rural Battambang is attractive precisely because it doesn't have too many attractions. Ride the nori or bamboo train; amble through a few ancient Khmer temples; check out some rice paper making; and otherwise enjoy the classic Khmer scenery around the town via river or motorbike.
Battambang province lies in the far western region of Cambodia; bounded to the west by Thailand, the south by the Cardamom Mountains, the east by the Tonle Sap Lake and Pursat, and to the north by Banteay Meanchey province. The landscape, often picturesque and highly varied in this large province, morphs from vast marshes and wetlands around the lake's rim into extensive rice paddies dotted with limestone outcrops and then rolling orchard-blanketed hills around the Pailin enclave, before finishing with rugged forest-clad slopes abutting the southern mountain ranges. Battambang is home to the kingdom's best farming land and the provincial capital was traditionally a wealthy trading town as well as being the second largest city of the kingdom.
'Bourgeois' Battambang with its large ethnic Chinese population suffered greatly during the Khmer Rouge era. With nearby Pailin being one of the last redoubts of anti-government forces during the war of the 1980s and '90s, it also later became the centre of UN peace-keeping operations. Today the town is flourishing again due to its agricultural riches and relatively good communications and transport infrastructure; Khmer expats and investment are returning to the region.
Tourism-wise, the town was always a rather off the beaten track destination -- known mostly for being the end of a scenic boat ride from Siem Reap and its famous 'bamboo railway' -- but these days it's increasingly appearing in traveller tour plans, with easy access to Siem Reap, Phnom Penh and Thailand. The tourism infrastructure is developing fast.
There are plenty of things to see and do in and around town, apart from just admiring the idyllic countryside, with no shortage of great accommodation and food and drink options. The town still remains quiet and far more traditional than the bustling capital or tourism hotspots of Siem Reap and Sihanoukville, so it makes for a wonderfully contrasting destination to complete your Cambodia itinerary.
One oddity of Battambang province is the rain gambling. Although it does happen all over Cambodia, this is the epicentre of the phenomenon. Fortunes are won and lost betting how much rain will fall at a given place at a given time. When in the capital, keep an eye out for people clustered on the roofs of the buildings overlooking the central bus station. Clutching walkie-talkies, they're communicating with both their rain-spotters, who are scattered across the surrounds monitoring the clouds, and their bookies at Phsar Boeung Chhoeuk. The bookies can be a bit shy about having their photo taken, but they're not too worried if you're just there to check it out.
Battambang is Khmer for "disappearing stick", referring to a legend about a cowherd named Ta Dambong who found a magic stick and used it to usurp the then-king. The king's son ran off to the woods and became a monk. In the meantime, Ta Dambong had a dream that a holy man on a white horse would vanquish him, so he decided it would be a good idea to have all the holy men rounded up and put to death. When the prince heard he was required to go into town, a hermit came up and gave him a white horse. When the prince got on the horse he found it could fly. When he flew into town, Ta Dambong realised his dream was coming true so he threw his magic stick at the prince and did a runner. Neither he nor the magic stick was ever seen again.
The city itself is split into two by the Sangkar River with the compact central area and main market situated on the left bank. The series of narrow parallel streets numbered imaginatively 1, 1.5, 2, 2.5 and 3 are home to an increasing number of cafes, bars and restaurants. This is where you'll find most of the old Chinese shophouses and a smattering of French colonial-style buildings as well.
Battambang was an important province in the Angkor period so several temple ruins and historical sites can be found within a 30 kilometre radius of town, providing convenient day trip opportunities.

More information
With Cambodia's number one tourist destination, Siem Reap, but a couple of hours away, you'd think Battambang would do a decent trade in tourists, but it's surprising just how few bother to check it out. That's their loss and your gain as far as we're concerned — as Battambang is absolutely worth at least an overnight's stay.
if you're thinking of seeing Battambang on a couple of day jaunt from Siem Reap before returning to the same, consider doing one way by land, the other by boat — just be prepared for a pretty rough and ready experience when it comes to the boat trip.
Once you're safely ensconced in Battambang, make sure you organise a motorbike trip into the surrounds — allow at least half a day to see the highlights. There are no shortage of English-speaking motos will be on hand to guide your way.

Craft event attracts crowds to National Trust stately home
Posted: July 25, 2014|
VISITORS to Sudbury Hall were treated to a wealth of crafts and art on Sunday.
Local craftsmanship was celebrated with a selection of demonstrations in the hall and a craft market in the stable yard.
There were opportunities to have a go at a variety of crafts and get some inspiration for a new hobby from a number of different 'master crafters'.
These included the Barton Beaders, Mickleover Art Group, Derbyshire Embroiderers' Guild, the Sudbury Weavers, spinners and dyers, rag rug makers, leather workers and blacksmith demonstrations.
Outside visitors had a chance to browse a number of stalls and purchase unique hand made products, taking in everything from woodwork and textiles to hand made Teddies.
House steward Rosanna Daubney said "We were thrilled to welcome so many local crafters to celebrate all things local and give our visitors a chance to experience and even have a go at some unusual crafts.
"The event went down brilliantly and we had a good turn-out."
Artist Kara Strachan, who draws inspiration from nearby landscapes and wildlife, made an appearance to display and talk about her artwork.

Antec is prepared to make a splash with their mobile product line, appropriately titled Antec Mobile Products (a.m.p). At CES 2013, Justin from Antec showed us the SP1, a Bluetooth speaker, and Pulse, a Bluetooth headset. The best thing about each of the aforementioned products is they both come with a built in microphone, allowing you to seamlessly switch between music and a phone call. Although Antec hasn't abandoned their core and enthusiast PC market. On display was Antec's new GX700 case, a rugged military inspired design with space for 240mm radiator on top, and an 11.5 inch graphics card. Antec has also added a few new models to their True Quiet fan line, and a new power supply. Special thanks to Justin for showing us all of the products.

Last year we reviewed a couple TP-LINK products and were extremely impressed with them. TP-LINK's latest portable router is the TL-WR700N 150Mbps Wireless N Mini Pocket Router. Its max wireless speed is rated a bit lower than standard routers, but its feature-set doesn't suffer. The TL-WR700N supports multiple modes including AP, Repeater, Client, Bridge, and can function as a basic router. Has TP-LINK tried to pack too much into a small device? Or will they blow us away again? Check out the full review to find out.

Natural Bridges Renaissance DayTuesday, December 30th, 2008
It's been about nine months since we visited Natural Bridges. I forgot how convenient it is to have a kid day there. We parked our stuff on the beach and took excursions to the tide pools, the inland pond and the butterfly hollow. When we first arrived the beach was short on humans and full of birds. As the day progressed many more humans arrived, but pretty much all the birds stayed.
It was a renaissance sort of day for me. We have been doing more city things, and less days in nature. I miss this. Spending a day watching the natural world is core to my well being.
Seth was very concerned about me getting too close to the edge of the tide pools (for good reason), so I got an earful about safety. Regardless he did have a sense of wonder and expressed many times how amazing this was.
It was high tide so the deep water came right up to the rock shelf where the tide pools were. This gave us a chance to experience the way the deep water moved without having to be in it. We also go to see a pelican out fishing.
Watching the pelicans fly over was a big treat because they all have different patterns on their wings and their coloring varies radically. I love the tip feathers on their wings.
All of our excursions were punctuated by sand play. Without the distraction of anything other than sea birds and a fancy camera today I really paid attention to Seth playing. Or rather I listened to Seth playing. I knew he sings to himself when he plays. However, today I realized he is singing work songs, kinda like if Merle Haggard sang Zippity Do Da – a real "labor" vibe.
After the beach we hit the Long Marine Lab. Seth got to meet his first Rockfish in person. This seemed more exciting to me than to him. I think he was tired and the Leopard Shark sort of stole the show.
At the hands on area Seth kept taking starfish from this girl. I thought he was just throwing his weight around, but I was wrong. When I went over he gave me a long starfish stewarding lecture on how the starfish did not want to be out of water for too long or they would die. Every time I held one, he was anxious to get it back in the water lest it expire ~ snarf!
Finally out on the deck Seth found something that really caught his attention – a tool! I find he likes all activities to be punctuated by tool usage of some sort. He likes things that "work", they bring him joy.
I like immense whale skeletons. They bring me joy. Look at the way every piece fits together and the angle of repose. This would be a great plein air subject, maybe I should roust Steph. The pelicans flew by one last time in the setting sun, a perfect ending shot.

By now, you've probably heard that Kris Allen took home the coveted "American Idol" crown last night . You've probably already Tweeted about the news and shared your two cents via your Facebook status. Well, many celebrities did the same thing. From former "Idol" runner-up David Archuleta to Emmy Rossum, stars took to their Twitter accounts late last night and early this morning. Some were enraged (Diablo Cody), some were apathetic (Pink) and some showed love for both Adam and Kris.
Jordin Sparks told MTV News earlier this season that she just couldn't choose a favorite contestant . Well, the season-six "Idol" winner stayed consistent and when the final name was called, Sparks wrote, "Yaaaaay Kris!!! Yaaaaaaay Adam!!! Omg. Nice. Okay. Goodnight. :)"
"The View" co-host Elisabeth Hasselbeck also had high praise for the winner and runner-up. "Congrats to both guys for sharing their gifts!" she Tweeted just after the results.
Same goes for David Archuleta. "Wow! What an amazing show! Congrats to Kris! Also to Adam for the incredible job that he did too! They [are] some awesome performers!"
As for the Adam Lambert fans, well … their Tweets were a little lighter on the exclamation points. "Juno" writer Diablo Cody hailed herself as the "Taylor Hicks of the '08 Oscars" on her account but made a bold prediction that Lambert would take home the victory. After Kris won, Cody wrote, "F— this sh–. Time to watch 'Real Housewives' and drown my sorrow in Barefoot Bubbly."
Perez Hilton — an adamant Adam supporter — wrote just one word right after the news broke: "Sad." Later, Perez Tweeted, "Congratulations to Adam, though. It's really a major accomplishment that he made it as far as he did!"
And you probably would've pegged singer/actress Emmy Rossum for a Kris Allen fan, but the starlet is definitely a Glambert. "Adam Lambert seriously did not win?" she wrote. "Such a let down. Kid's gonna be a massive star regardless. Go Lambert!!!"
Mario Lopez also showed support for Adam. "Adam Lambert is coming to the ['Extra'] set today! I thought my fellow San Diegan should have won. He's gonna be just fine though."
Joel Madden and Nicole Richie were spotted in the "Idol" audience taking in the action firsthand. Before the results were announced, Joel wrote, "Honestly Adam and Kris were both great. But watching Adam perform with Queen, he really held his own. I was impressed. I really get him now."
Nicole showed consideration for "Idol" fans on the West Coast and kept the results out of her Twitter updates. "I'm going to wait until tomorrow to comment on American Idol because every time I do, I get in trouble for spoiling it," she wrote. "But I will say this … Kara Dioguardi & Holly Hunter look like long lost sisters."
And finally, Pink didn't really seem to know anything about "Idol," but she did have a comment on the contestants' rendition of her hit song "So What."
"I heard it [through] the grapevine that someone butchered my song last night on TV," Pink Tweeted. "Does that mean I've 'made it?' "
Get your "Idol" fix on MTV News' "American Idol" page , where you'll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

Of course the Big Three's management have made mistakes too. They built cars that people didn't want. They were slow to innovate. Honda's advanced technology lets their plants nimbly switch from one product to another based on consumer demand. And Honda's never owned any private jets.
Detroit's CEO's wouldn't agree to an interview, but Michigan's Attorney General was eager to say that Detroit should get our money.
"It's the crown jewel that we need to protect," Mike Cox said during our interview.
But the UAW workers get paid above the American average, I countered. A bailout is Robin Hood in reverse. It's taking from everyone and giving money to people who earn above average.
"Unfortunately no one ever made that same argument when we gave $700 billion to Wall Street and people living in Manhattan," Cox replied. "We're talking about 2.4 million jobs lost over 27 different states."
The idea that jobs will be lost if automakers go bankrupt has been a popular refrain in Congress.
"Tens if not hundreds of thousands of jobs would be lost in the auto industry itself," said U.S. Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn.
But wait a second, those jobs wouldn't necessarily be lost. Bankruptcy isn't death. Kmart didn't disappear when it went bankrupt. Neither did Fruit of the Loom, Texaco, Continental Airlines, Delta, or United.
They were reorganized into more efficient, sustainable businesses. Out of this creative destruction new jobs emerged.
If Congress bails out the Big Three now, they won't get any better, and they'll be back next year, and the year after, and forever after that.
Some in Congress worry about that.
"My fear is that you're gonna take this money and continue the same stupid decisions you've made for 25 years," Rep. Michael Capuano, D-Mass., said.
On Friday Congressional Democrats and the White House neared agreement on about $15 billion in bailout loans for the Big Three. The money would probably come from the $25 billion loan intended to develop high-tech fuel-efficient cars. Congress may vote on giving the Big Three the cash next week.
Give me a break.

More frustration than challenge.
This game caught my interest as it seemed similar the Front Mission series, sadly, this frustrating SRPG is not just difficult it is borderline broken. The story is weak, as is the voice acting, it is just enough to keep you playing, but it is far from satisfying. So this is where the game play should make up for it, but honestly it doesn't. The battle system is boring and leads to long and mostly annoying battles. The cover system fails to add strategy to this game. All in all, I would pass on this game unless you are a die hard JRPG fan. The only reason I gave it two stars, was due to the fact I couldn't put it down when I first picked it up. The later levels are flat out punishing and will keep non dedicated players from even getting half way through the story and honestly, they aren't missing much. Play the demo and decide for yourself, but there are way too many good games out to bother with this one.

The 2015 Ford F150 Needs an 8-Speed Transmission to Keep Pace with Ram, GM
When buying a half ton pickup truck like the 2015 Ford F150, the Chevy Silverado or the Ram 1500, fuel economy usually isn't all that high on the customer's priorities.
When buying a half ton pickup truck like the 2015 Ford F150, the Chevy Silverado or the Ram 1500, fuel economy usually isn't all that high on the customer's priorities.
When the 2015 Ford Mustang was introduced, the performance world was quick to speculate as to what kind of curb weight we would see from the next generation Mustang.
Ford Motor Company has made very good use of its EcoBoost technology and as both the original and the most powerful EcoBoost, the 3.5L twin turbo engine has quickly become the most popular engine c
It should be noted that the Road & Track video showing what is believed to be the 2016 Ford Mustang Shelby GT350 obviously didn't come with any official information.
During a small event yesterday morning at their Dearborn Development Center, Ford Motor Company announced the first official power figures for the 2015 Ford Mustang.
When the 2015 Ford Mustang was introduced back in December 2013, the Motor Company offered only power estimates for the 2.3L EcoBoost and the 5.0L V8.
While it is all but official that there will be an ultra high performance version of the 2015 Ford Mustang, we don't know what it will be called and we don't know exactly when it will arrive.
While it has long been possible for prospective European buyers to pay big money to have a Ford Mustang imported and approved for road use, the 2015 Ford Mustang will be the first that is directly
Through the first six months of 2014, Ford has sold more than 365,000 F Series pickups and the bulk of those numbers are F150 sales.
The 2014 Toyota Camry is now far ahead in sales in its category for the calendar year.
A few months back, the discussion came up about the possibilities of a 2015 Ford Mustang Diesel and I called it globalization gone too far.
The folks at Saleen have become well known for super-tuning the Mustang with incredible success so it comes as little surprise that the first heavily modified 2015 Ford Mustang comes in the form of
This June Ford finally posted electrified vehicle sales worthy of note.
The 2015 Ford F150 will be comprised heavily of aluminum and when combined with the new 2.7L EcoBoost V6 engine, the next generation F150 will battle for the title of the most efficient half ton tr
There is a good chance that if you asked the average guy or girl on the street what they consider to be the most American vehicle sold in the USA, some of them might say the Ford F150.

Gear Question
How does this compare to Under Armour? I...
How does this compare to Under Armour? I really like Under Armour shirts and can someone give a fair comparison of these? I really like Under Armour compression cold gear but haven't tried their fitted cold gear. I realize this isn't made for really cold weather but I do better with comparisons to things I already know about. I do not own any Patagonia clothing although I have an R1 zip up waiting for me when I arrive back in the States. Thanks
Marshall Strong
I'd say they're pretty comparable. I've found the capilene to be a bit looser and more breathable than the underarmour, but both do the job as a base layer.
