A report released this week shows 19 children in the U.S. have died so far this year as a result of being left in a hot car.
But an 11-year-old boy from Nashville came up with an invention for a recent nationwide contest created by the University of Akron that could prevent those types of deaths from happening.
His device could be far-reaching -- and is already gaining nationwide recognition.
Andrew Pelham's "E-Z Baby Saver" is the result of a challenge by UA that required kids to invent something made primarily out of rubber bands.
After about a week of brainstorming, his invention was an idea that stuck with him -- especially since he remembered the story of a 10-month old baby near his hometown who perished in a hot car last summer.
Andrew is the oldest of four children, two still in car seats.
The "E-Z Baby Saver" is something his family regularly uses to keep the same thing from happening to them.
One end of the rubber-band device hooks on the back of the driver's seat. The other end attaches to the driver's side door. It prevents an adult from exiting their vehicle without being forced to check the back seat.
For the creation, Andrew won a prize as a runner-up in the nationwide contest.
"I just hope people can use my design in the real world, soon, because I just want to save one life, and then I can say my idea was successful," Andrew adds.

As a red-blooded American male, I take a strong pride in the amount of attractive women we have strutting around our cities, grocery stores, and college campuses. However, it is Toronto, Canada, that is stealing the limelight, for their attractive women have taken to the streets, wearing some of the most revealing and sexually alluring clothing, in a rally known as the SlutWalk.
The SlutWalk was held on April 3rd, 2011, in Toronto, Canada, and, as evident by the above video, has since been sparking similar movements around the world. It is open to all races, sexes (yes, even men can join the fun), and sexual orientations. The clothing and attire that individuals wear during the march has ranged from absurdly revealing to extremely conservative, depending on the wearer's willingness to show skin. The point of the rally, though, is not simply to show off your skin to those who care enough to gawk. No, the point is to protest the common belief that female rape victims are often asking for it.
On January 24th, 2011, Constable Michael Sanguinetti and another officer were speaking at York University. Sanguinetti said that women should avoid dressing like sluts in order not to be victimized. He later apologized for insinuating that dressing like a slut assumes that you will be raped.
But the controversy goes deeper:
During a rape case in February of 2011, Justice Robert Dewar claimed that the victim's behavior and attire a tube top and heels may have given the attacker the wrong impression. Dewar also said that the victim was drinking and was wearing makeup, thus putting herself at risk of being raped. However, since the judge felt that the defendant was not threatening only insensitive to the fact (she) was not a willing participant – the defendant will serve no jail time. Basically, a man raped a woman and the judge believed that her attire and behavior caused her to deserve it.
The SlutWalk is a public outcry to rework the understanding of our society. While the SlutWalk is not specifically stating that individuals, both men and women, should be allowed to wear whatever they desire, it is stating that dressing like a slut should not assume that you want to be raped. Hell, I've seen some slutty womens Halloween costumes, but never have I thought that rape was the perfect response. This should be common sense, but apparently there are some animals out there who feel entitled to rape anyone dressed in anything even close to revealing.
Attendants have brought signs that read Sluts have dreams too, NOT asking for it, Proud sluts, and Police look like sluts to uniform fetishists. Some of the men who participated brought signs that read Real men take no for an answer, Real men don't rape, and Sluts are not as disgusting as Toronto police services.

- This article is about the car manufacturer. For the character in GTA IV, see Karen.
Karin is an automotive company in the HD Universe. The company is most likely based off the real-life manufacturer Toyota or Lexus.
However, the Sultan RS and Korean Mob Sultan are modified like Subarus even though they are both based on a Lexus (luxury subsidiary owned by Toyota) combined with a Mitsubishi; and the Intruder is based on Infiniti. But it should be noted that Toyota owns a small part of Subaru and the companies have or at least will make certain vehicles together. It can also be implied that Karin is a Japanese luxury car manufacturer.
The name might be a parody of Kia as Kia and Karin are spelt similarly and are both girls' names; the logo also bears resemblance to their corporate logo (mainly the top left tip of the "K"). The name might also be a reference to Toyota's Carina series.

Over the past five years, the Cal running game has enjoyed success shared by few teams nationally. Numerous players have taken over the lead - like a baton passed between runners - each resulting in remarkable seasons. After nearly two weeks of Fall Practice, BearTerritory focuses in on the current 2007 talents in Berkeley.Just how good has Cal's running game been over the past half-dozen years?Starting in the 2005 season, it was former Oakland Athletic League (OAL) standout tailback Marshawn Lynch who took over the Bears power running game. Now the feature back for the Buffalo Bills, Lynch was one of just 10 running backs nationally that averaged 6.0 yards per carry last year (with over 100 carries). As a sophomore in 2005, Lynch was even better, ranking 4th nationally at 6.36 yards per carry. In 2004, J.J. Arrington, in just his second year at Cal, led the nation with a staggering 6.98 yards per carry. The season before it was Adimchinobe (Joe) Echemandu who averaged over 5.0 yards per carry, and preceding Echemandu was the talented Joe Igber at 4.6 yards per carry. In front of every talented Cal starting running back has been the Bears solid offensive line. And beside every talented Cal starting running back has been a back-up not only ready to fill in, but to take over when the opportunity came. Such was the case when Echemandu took over for Igber, Arrington took over for Echemandu, and Lynch took over for Arrington. ...More... To continue reading this article you must be a member.

Police in suburban Denver say an officer killed at a crime scene was shot by another officer.
Thirty-five-year-old James Davies was shot early Friday morning after he and officers from several agencies responded to a report of shots fired in Lakewood. Police say he was in full uniform.
Davies is the first officer to be killed in the line of duty in Lakewood. He leaves behind a wife and two children.
Police spokesman Steve Davis says there was a lot of confusion when officers first responded and numerous shots were fired. Three men were taken into custody and were outside the home when more gunfire erupted and Davies was killed.

Advantage Welling after Healy winner
11:15 03 May 2012
Sutton United 1 Welling United 2
Welling take a one goal lead into the second leg at Park View Road on Sunday after a narrow victory at Sutton United.
Loick Pires had the game's first chance as he headed a Ben Martin flick-on straight at keeper Kevin Scriven.
Pires then went close again with a free-kick, but Scriven did exceptionally well to tip the ball behind for a corner.
Stefan Payne recorded Sutton's only shot in the opening stages, but put an audacious effort over the bar.
Welling opened the scoring in the 27th minute after a lovely passing move. Lee Clarke burst into the area and met Dean Cracknell's glorious cross with a diving header that flew past Scriven.
Paul Telfer then hit a free-kick high and wide as Sutton tried to recover.
Welling nearly made it two just before half-time when Joe Healy's delicate chip from the byline was met by Luis Cumbers at the far post, only to see it blocked on the line by Telfer.
Sutton improved after the break as Leroy Griffiths scuffed a shot wide, before Holloway made a marvellous save from a low Craig Dundas drive.
However, Sutton where to level shortly afterwards. A low cross took several deflections on its way into the Welling area which caught keeper Holloway out and he was unable to prevent the ball squirming under his body and into the net.
Seven minutes later though, Welling regained the lead. Pires broke away in the middle of the park and went on a powerful run, before crossing for the on-rushing Healy who delicately poked past Scriven.
Sutton went in search of the equaliser after the goal and Holloway had to be at his very best to tip a Dundas curling effort past the post.
But Welling dug in and claimed the win knowing that it's only half-time in the tie.
Welling United: Holloway, Fazakerley (Sambrook 84), Obersteller, Day, Martin, Parkinson, Cracknell, Clarke, Cumbers (Baker 73), Healy, Pires. Unused subs: Kinch, Acheampong, Turner.

Lawmakers took a series of quick votes today to approve a bill that will temporarily shield the identities of concealed weapons permit owners. The bill was signed into law by Gov. Paul LePage after garnering more than two-thirds support in the House and Senate. Lawmakers still have time to consider whether to make the change permanent. And as A.J. Higgins reports, some lawmakers are objecting to today's fast-track process that allowed the bill to become law.
It was a letter from a constituent that first prompted state Rep. Corey Wilson to question why the names of Mainers holding concealed weapons permits should be in the public domain.
The Augusta Republican had heard from a woman who had recently left an abusive marriage and had obtained a concealed weapons permit for self-defense. Wilson said the woman was concerned that if her weapons permit were known to her abuser, he'd get a gun too.
"She felt that her life would have been at risk had he known that this information existed," Wilson sai
That prompted Wilson to submit a bill that would shield the names of concealed weapons permit holders and exempt them from the current provisions of Maine's Freedom of Access Act.
News of the bill prompted the editors at the Bangor Daily News to use the Freedom of Access Act to get law enforcement agencies to provide a list of concealed weapons permit holders.. The Republican Party and Gov. Paul LePage immediately objected to the paper's request,a s did gun rights advocates, who protested at the paper's Bangor headquarters.
The paper subsequently rescinded its request for the list. But that didn't stop the uproar. The governor's bill that temporarily shields the identity of concealed weapons permit owners was supported by both parties and signed into law in just one day, a feat that impressed GOP Senate Leader Michael Thibodeau.
"Who could have imagined that our very first opportunity to have a roll call vote would result in a bill that was brought forward by the chief executive, sponsored by the majority party, and indeed, probably will receive unanimous support here in the Senate?" Thibodeau said.
The bill temporarily exempts concealed weapons permit holders from the Freedom of Access Act, and will shield their identities until at least April 30, when it is expected that the Legislature's Judiciary Committee will act on Wilson's bill to make those exemptions permanent.
Some lawmakers haven't made up their minds about what they think of the bill, but they didn't like the way the moratorium on the permits was handled.
"My only concern is that we have rushed through a bill that, even as of last night, people found constitutional problems with it, and found that it also barred police from having access to this," said Rep. Joe Brooks.
Brooks, an independent from Winterport, objects to the fact that the bill was signed into law without having a public hearing or assigned to a committee. His concerns about police access to the information were addressed by a Senate amendment to the bill.
But others also take issue with the bill. Rep. Brian Jones, a Freedom Democrat, says leaders on both sides of the aisle were using the controversy as a political football.
"This is not a Second Amendment issue, this is a Freedom of Access Act issue," Jones said. "And what we're asking this body to do is to suspend First Amendment rights of transparency in our government to solve a non-existent constitutional emergency."
Democratic leaders say the moratorium will provide a cooling down period to allow the Judiciary Committee to carefully consider all sides of the proposed change to the state's Freedom of Access Act.

First published in 2001, American Gods became an instant classic, an intellectual and artistic benchmark from the multiple-award-winning master of innovative fiction, Neil Gaiman. Now, discover the mystery and magic of American Gods in this 10th anniversary edition. Newly updated and expanded with the author's preferred text, this commemorative volume is a true celebration of a modern masterpiece by the one, the only, Neil Gaiman.
A storm is coming....
Locked behind bars for three years, Shadow did his time, quietly waiting for the magic day when he could return to Eagle Point, Indiana. A man no longer scared of what tomorrow might bring, all he wanted was to be with Laura, the wife he deeply loved, and start a new life. But just days before his release, Laura and Shadow's best friend are killed in an accident. With his life in pieces and nothing to keep him tethered, Shadow accepts a job from a beguiling stranger he meets on the way home, an enigmatic man who calls himself Mr. Wednesday. A trickster and rogue, Wednesday seems to know more about Shadow than Shadow does himself.
Life as Wednesday's bodyguard, driver, and errand boy is far more interesting and dangerous than Shadow ever imagined. It is a job that takes him on a dark and strange road trip and introduces him to a host of eccentric characters whose fates are mysteriously intertwined with his own.
Along the way, Shadow will learn that the past never dies; that everyone, including his beloved Laura, harbors secrets; and that dreams, totems, legends, and myths are more real than we know. Ultimately, he will discover that beneath the placid surface of everyday life, a storm is brewing - an epic war for the very soul of America - and that he is standing squarely in its path.
Relevant and prescient, American Gods has been lauded for its brilliant synthesis of "mystery, satire, sex, horror, and poetic prose" (Washington Post Book World) and as a modern phantasmagoria that "distills the essence of America" (Seattle Post-Intelligencer). It is, quite simply, an outstanding work of literary imagination that will endure for generations.

"New to Neil"
I am new to Neil Gaiman's work. I once tried to read a Sandman comic and felt utterly lost, so I gave up trying. His recent work on Doctor Who and my membership on Audible led me to pick this audio book. I'm not a big fan of full cast productions either. I like the idea of a single person reading the book... but after reading the criticism and researching the different versions of the book for myself, I decided to give this one a try.
It was fantastic.
The voice of Shadow is perfect... as is that of Mr. Wednesday. It really helps the book come alive. If I had read it or listened to a single person voicing it, I may have gotten sick of the tangents that Gaiman follows, but since I had the numerous voices as sign posts on the journey, it really did help. They do a great job of setting the tone.
This book is like a dream you don't want to wake up from. It makes so much sense, yet if you were to try to explain it to someone, it wouldn't. If you expect something from it, you may be disappointed, but if you just let it take you on a journey and let your mind wander with it, you will enjoy every minute of it. Neil Gaiman knows how to get you to feel for his characters by making them a part of the familiar. This really is something I could see myself dreaming.
I hope HBO does make it into a TV show, as is the buzz.
"Stellar Full Cast Production"
This isn't a review about the story American Gods; others will do that. What I felt important to review here was the superb production presented by this very talented group of narrators. The characterization- depth, realism and building of, and ability to relate to -in American Gods is very well done, but the performance of the narrators brings them further, adding an even more complex and integrated layer of emotion and connection.
The main narrator is easy to listen to and warm to the tale- I felt the narrator was telling me a story of his experience rather than a recitation of another's work.
And of Neil Gaiman's own short passages, sprinkled thru-ought: an excellent lift from the main story, giving each break an ethereal yet distinctive separation from the main story.
"The Soundtrack of Neil's Imagination........"
This review is focussed on the audio aspects only; the story is epic and widely regarded as Gaiman's best work. So let's just take that part as read and move on:
I have both versions of American Gods as audiobook, and I must admit approached this version with trepidation. If you have listened to the BBC radio Hobbit or Hitchhikers Guide or Gaiman's own "Plays for Voices", you know there is a pretty stark division between excellent audiobook and excellent audio theatre. Multiple voices in a reading verge *close* to performance, but then have all the "he said" and "she admitted"s that you'd think would break up the flow. Which it did. But only for about the first 10 minutes and then it just WORKS. The voices are dead-on perfect, you'll find things in the story you didn't find your first time (two times... five times....) through. I highly recommend this version, even if you already have the other one! Definitely worth the listen.
The coda at the end for the cut scene is also fun.
"Will certainly be a classic"
I really loved this story. My kids have been telling me for years to read it, and I finally got this edition to listen to. I can't imagine any part of it I'd hope to miss, and am not sure what the parts were in this edition that weren't in the previously released version, but again, I can't imagine I'd want anything left out.
I'm usually not a fan of "cast" performances on audiobooks. I like a single storyteller. However, this was really an outstanding performance - they did a truly great job.
Genre fiction, trashy to literary--mystery, action, sci fi, fantasy, and, yes, even romance. Also history. Listener reviews help a lot!
"A Different Opinion"
I haven't finished listening to this yet, but wanted to weigh in about the narration. If you are one of George Guidall's many fans, by all means get his production. But when I first searched this book on Audible and found only Guidall's version, I chose not to get it because have never cared for his voice or performances. That is not meant as a criticism of this much-honored narrator, it is strictly personal taste and preference.
I like the use of different readers and in general think all four of these do a good job. This is an *extremely* dense and confusing book, and hearing different voices, at least for me, creates welcome breaks.
Whether this production will wind up being worth the heavy going is still up for debate with me. Gaiman's Preface to this anniversary edition characterizes it as "big, odd, and meandering." It's certainly all of those. He also acknowledges that some of his fans "really hate it." But there is a lot of interesting stuff in the book, especially for people who enjoy the off-center, the surreal--and the ineffable.
Avid reader/listener of just about anything.
"The story is the star"
American Gods has rested firmly in my all time top-5 list of favorite books since I first read it 10 years ago. With this in mind, I admit a certain amount of trepidation going into this book based on some of the early reviews of the full-cast performance. All doubts were cast aside the moment I heard the voice of Wednesday as it seemed to sound just as I had imagined. All in all I felt the performance was quite good and certainly did not detract from the story.
As for the story itself, Gaiman's imagination has never let me down and this is no exception. Just like when I read it, I simply could not stop listening, hanging on Shadow's every word and finishing the book in less than a week.
The bottom line here is simply that it's a fantastic book in any format and for my money a must-read. Normally the genre's Neil Gaiman contributes to are not my traditional taste, but his use of language combined with his awesome imagination make for quite a force that has yet to let me down. If you haven't already, you need to try a Gaiman book at least once and experience it for yourself.
"I believe that mankind's destiny lies in the stars"
This is my first Neil Gaiman book. I've avoided him because, like Stephen King, he's a little to dark for me. But I'm out to try new things, and Mr. Gaiman was first on my list.
This book was weird and dark at times, but also fanciful and full of history. I love that the Egyptian Gods of the Underworld are undertakers living in Cairo, Illinois. In fact, that was my second favorite part. It was quite impressive for a few reason. First, Cairo is the most amazing, and scariest place I've ever been. Then, while listening to the book, I kept thinking, Neil Gaiman actually went to Cairo, Illinois while researching places in the U.S. That's impressive because Cairo is like a war zone. Half, or more, of the buildings along the main streets are boarded up and/or falling down, and the side streets look as if they are completely abandoned. And yet, he described it with grace and dignity, the way I've always thought of it.
My most favorite part of the book was the little diatribe delivered by girl Sam. ("I can believe things that are true and things that aren't true and I can believe things where nobody knows if they're true or not.") I feel that it perfectly describes humanity. We are all a bundle of contradictions, but we still muddle through somehow, even though we're all pulling ourselves in so many different directions. To me, it proves that there's no black and white, no right and wrong.
I'm very interested in ancient Gods. They are the forbearers of all modern beliefs. I love the way he gave them all unique and modern personalities. And I love the tiny ball song that Anansi sings!
Also, the narrators are amazing. It was like listening to a play.
I very much enjoyed this book. I'm glad I gave Neil Gaiman a chance.
This is an extraordinary production of an extraordinary book. Listening was an experience I knew would have to end, but I wished it would not. Shadow, Laura, Wednesday, Sam, and Czernobog were especially memorable, but what impressed me most were the minor characters, each pitch-perfect. The weakest link was perhaps the narrator, but he was fine, just not perhaps what might be hoped. Neil Gaiman's own participation on Coming to America segments and supplementary material was especially welcome. Listen, and perhaps, just a bit, believe.
I really need to start proof reading my Reviews before I post them.
"This is the type of book you want to own."
This was my first Neil Gaiman book I read. I then read many others by him... then the Sand Man series and then everything else. Then I bought American Gods and mailed it home to my parents.
It's been about 5 years since I read it. I downloaded it again, because I had a lot of driving to do. Then I listened to it all night at my hotel. And I finished the book before I drove back home a few days later.
It offers a good view of someone trying to understand America.
I have heard other's complain that Shadow is unsympathetic as a protagonist. I kind of liked how he was so numb to how things in his life just went to crap. I liked how his view of his wife was of still love but rational of their situation.
In books and tv and movies, you go through a lot of death scenes and a high body count. But the death scenes that involved Laura... her dispassion was like a fairytale.
I enjoyed the audiobook version of this story, just as much as reading it.
I love to read books; and now just recently I've discovered that audio books are very cool!! I'm also an author. You can find the SciFi book "The Curse of Europa" here on Audible or on Amazon.
"Gaiman weaves a good tale!"
The previous book I listened to took me about six months to get through as it just didn't beckon me to listen at any chance I could get. I would listen here and there but many times music on the radio won out.
Not with this book!!
Gaiman hooked me right away and I wanted to listen every chance I could get. American Gods was only a tad shorter than my previous book, but I whipped through this one in about 10 days (and I mainly listen in my car and during workouts.) But I did add a few hours here and there with longer lunches or listening while doing dishes, etc.
I'm usually more a SciFi guy vs. Fantasy, but I've likes all of Neil Gaiman's book that I've read so far.

Mast Cell Stabilizers for Long-Term Control of Asthma
|Generic Name
Cromolyn is used with a metered-dose inhaler or a nebulizer. Always read the directions to be sure you are using the inhaler correctly.
How It Works
Mast cells are found throughout the body, including in the airways in the lungs. They can release substances that result in inflammation, causing the symptoms of asthma. Mast cell stabilizers prevent the mast cells from releasing the substances that cause inflammation. This may reduce asthma symptoms.
Why It Is Used
Cromolyn may be used to treat mild persistent asthma. It also can be used to prevent asthma symptoms during exercise and before exposure to a substance that may trigger an asthma attack. Mast cell stabilizers do not work as well as inhaled corticosteroids, which are now the recommended treatment.1
Mast cell stabilizers usually do not relieve symptoms in people who have moderate to severe persistent asthma. These medicines are not used to treat asthma attacks.
Different types of medicines are often used together in the treatment of asthma. Medicine treatment for asthma depends on a person's age, his or her type of asthma, and how well the treatment is controlling asthma symptoms.
- Children up to age 4 are usually treated a little differently than those 5 to 11 years old.
- The least amount of medicine that controls the asthma symptoms is used.
- The amount of medicine and number of medicines are increased in steps. So if asthma is not controlled at a low dose of one controller medicine, the dose may be increased. Or another medicine may be added.
- If the asthma has been under control for several months at a certain dose of medicine, the dose may be reduced. This can help find the least amount of medicine that will control the asthma.
- Quick-relief medicine is used to treat asthma attacks. But if you or your child needs to use quick-relief medicine a lot, the amount and number of controller medicines may be changed.
Your doctor will work with you to help find the number and dose of medicines that work best.
How Well It Works
Cromolyn reduces asthma symptoms, improves morning peak expiratory flow, and decreases the need for short-acting beta2-agonists.1 But it does not work as well as inhaled corticosteroids.1
Side Effects
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine you take. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with your medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
- Usually the benefits of the medicine are more important than any minor side effects.
- Side effects may go away after you take the medicine for a while.
- If side effects still bother you and you wonder if you should keep taking the medicine, call your doctor. He or she may be able to lower your dose or change your medicine. Do not suddenly quit taking your medicine unless your doctor tells you to.
Common side effects of this medicine include:
- Throat irritation and coughing.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Fullness after eating, heartburn, or abdominal (belly) pain.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug Reference is not available in all systems.)
What To Think About
Doctors recommend the use of a spacer with a metered-dose inhaler (MDI). The spacer is attached to the MDI. A spacer may deliver the medicine to your lungs better than an inhaler alone. And for many people it is easier to use than an MDI alone.
Try to avoid giving your child an inhaled medicine when he or she is crying, because not as much medicine is delivered to the lungs.
Taking medicine
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. Taking medicine as your doctor suggests will improve your health and may prevent future problems. If you don't take your medicines properly, you may be putting your health (and perhaps your life) at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Advice for women
If you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant, do not use any medicines unless your doctor tells you to. Some medicines can harm your baby. This includes prescription and over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, herbs, and supplements. And make sure that all your doctors know that you are pregnant, breast-feeding, or planning to get pregnant.
Follow-up care is a key part of your treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if you are having problems. It's also a good idea to know your test results and keep a list of the medicines you take.

There's talk on the World Wide Web of Movie Gossip that KRISTEN STEWART has been DROPPED from the "Snow White and the Huntsman" sequel.
--Supposedly, Universal Studios is re-tooling the concept so that instead of a proper follow-up, they're going to do a spin-off focusing on THE HUNTSMAN . . . who was played by CHRIS HEMSWORTH in the original.
--That way they can get rid of Kristen, who messed a lot of things up when she had an affair with the original movie's director, RUPERT SANDERS.
--However . . . Universal says they're NOT doing this to get rid of Kristen. Her Snow White character COULD still appear in the Huntsman movie. Also, Sanders hasn't been ruled out as director.

--He said, quote, "Since the first 'Twilight', you enter this kind of realm where . . . you get stuff reported about you, and it's weird . . . You start having a total disassociation."
--He added, quote, "And on top of that loads of people just make it up anyway."
--Then the interviewer asked if he really IS okay, and he said, "Yeah."

Sylvester Stallone Says His Son's Death Was a "Horrible Situation", But Also a "Reality Of Life"
SYLVESTER STALLONE got philosophical about the death of his son SAGE yesterday on "Good Morning America".

--"But time, hopefully, will heal and you try to get through it but it's something that is a reality of life."
--He also said that WORK is keeping him going . . . quote, "It's important to get back and try to start reliving your life, otherwise you can go into a spiral."

Checkered past; checkered present? McAnally Racing has home-track advantage in Roseville
Whether there is a home-field, home-court or home-ice advantage in sports can be debated ad nauseam, but it's hard to argue with Bill McAnally Racing's home-track edge at All American Speedway.
McAnally cars have won five of six races since the NASCAR K&N Pro Series West returned to Roseville, and they'll try to make it six of seven in Saturday night's Toyota/NAPA Auto Care 150.
Eric Holmes of Escalon has three of those five victories, including last October's event that vaulted toward his third Pro Series West championship.
"It's always fun here, and I've won all but two of them I think since I've been running these cars here, and we probably should have won those two," said Holmes, who steers the No. 20 NAPA Auto Parts Toyota Camry. "It feels good to be back here. We know we can come here and win."
McAnally driver Paulie Harraka won the April event last year, but the BMR team in Saturday night's Pro Series West event consists only of Holmes and Moses Smith. Holmes has led a series-high 516 laps around the one-third-mile oval at All American. Smith is no slouch. He has three top-five finishes in six starts in Roseville, a high finish of third in 2008 and an average finish of sixth.
"If you had anything to do at all with Bill McAnally Racing, you would like Roseville because this track has been so good to us," McAnally said. "We want to perform well at home. We work hard for it."
McAnally also works hard as promoter of the Pro Series West races at All American. The events generally sell out, and through April 8, 2,200 tickets were sold. Saturday night's card also includes SRL and Legends races. McAnally said there were 29 Pro Series West cars entered, 27 SRL machines and more than 40 Legends. A vintage smoker plane also has been added to do a fly-by.
"People are wanting it. They're embracing it. They always do," McAnally said. "I wouldn't expect any less here."
BMR isn't going to have it easy. Greg Pursley won the season opener in Phoenix, and he finished third at All American in the fall 2009 race. David Mayhew has finished in the top 10 in all five of his Roseville starts.
"Greg Pursley, Jonathon Gomez, David Mayhew – those three really came on strong all last year," said Holmes, who finished 14th in Phoenix. "It's probably one of the most competitive years we've had in a long time. There's always been two or three guys. This year, there's about five that could really have a legitimate shot at winning the championship. We definitely have to step up our program, because they're all gunning for us."
Roseville racer Eric Schmidt will drive the Stephanie Bellotti Teen Fund Chevrolet for Naake Motorsports.
Stephanie Bellotti was killed in a car accident in 2002. The fund, established by her parents, Eileen and Vincent Bellotti, at the Placer Community Foundation, provides scholarships to the National Auto Sport Association Car Control Clinic on April 19 in Willows.

- Abstract
- Mobile computing is evolving at a rapid pace with 802.11 networks; the fuzzy boundaries make it easy for intruders to intercept the radio signals. War driving was performed along highways; the resulting packet analysis is explained to show how easy some security attacks can be. An elaboration is done on a host of wireless security attacks that leads to the discussion of secure wireless network design, along with some network security simulation. The paper concludes with a list of security recommendations.
