Donald Cole's greatest fear is that people will forget about his son, Willis Cole, a New Cumberland police officer shot and killed in the line of duty while responding to a coin shop robbery in 1994.
As police from every department in Cumberland County stood solemnly in the background, supporters dedicated the site of a new memorial to honor the sacrifice of Willis Cole and nine other police officers who have died in the county while in uniform since 1893.
County commissioners passed a resolution on Aug. 20 setting aside about a quarter-acre tract of land in front of the new Public Safety Building for the memorial.
Carlisle lawyer Ron Turo, one of five founders of the Cumberland County Law Enforcement Memorial Foundation, a nonprofit organization, said the group hopes to raise at least $150,000 to build the memorial.
Three checks totaling about $16,000 were presented during Wednesday's dedication. The Cumberland County Chiefs of Police Association has given $6,400 toward the effort. Donations of $5,000 each were presented from Turo's own foundation and from proceeds from the most recent Willis J. Cole Memorial Golf Classic held on Aug. 24.
Another founding member of the foundation, Silver Spring Twp. Police Superintendent Richard Hammon, said two West Shore firms have offered to do design work related to the memorial for free.
The design will be subject to approval by the commissioners. Turo said the foundation envisions a wall-type memorial with space dedicated to telling the story of each officer.
When he was killed, Willis Cole had a 1-year-old son who is now 19.
"He never really got to know his dad," said Cole's mother, Judy.
Jeff Walters' father, Paul Walters, was killed when he was hit by a car in 1975 while on duty as a corporal with the Silver Spring Twp. police department.
Walters said he is impressed with the effort that is going into preserving the memory of his father and the others.
"It's not just something slid off into a pile of dust," said Walters, of Carlisle. "Thirty to forty years from now my children will see it, and their children will see it."
Until the memorial is built, the only tribute to these officers remains a plaque in the first-floor lobby of the county courthouse. Turo said the plaque was an Eagle Scout project done by a former Boy Scout who now lives in Maryland.
The research the young man did to make the plaque is a starting point for Steve Spangler, a retired police officer who has volunteered to compile biographies of each officer that will appear on the memorial.
Spangler is also working to track down as many surviving descendants of the slain officers as possible. To date he's gone as far back as locating the two surviving sisters of Charles S. Stanski, a state trooper killed in a crash during a chase in 1958. One of the sisters is married to a state police officer.
For Spangler, it's the chance to keep fresh investigative skills picked up over 25 years as a Hampden Twp., and a way of paying tribute.
"Every cop feels a kinship to every one of those guys. We go out every day not knowing if we will come home or not. We feel a kinship to every one of these guys that died here in our county," Spangler said.
The memorial to be built in front of the Cumberland County Public Safety Building on Claremont Road in Middlesex Twp. will honor the 10 police officers killed in the line of duty in the county since 1893.
They are:
- Carlisle Patrolman George Martin, killed in 1893.
- Camp Hill Patrolman M. Roy Hamlin, killed in a motorcycle crash in 1925.
- New Cumberland Police Chief James A. Welch, killed when an alcohol still exploded in 1928.
- Pvt. Dean N. Zeigler of the Pennsylvania Motor Police, hit by a car in 1942.
- Mechanicsburg Patrolman Homer R. Gilbert, died of a heart attack in 1943.
- State Trooper Charles S. Stanski, killed in a crash during a chase in 1958.
- East Pennsboro Twp. Patrolman Harry F. Hartman Jr., hit by a car in 1971.
- Silver Spring Twp. Cpl. Paul Walters, hit by a car in 1975.
- Lemoyne Patrolman Richard Phelps, killed in a crash during a chase in 1989.
- New Cumberland Patrolman Willis Cole, killed while responding to a robbery at a coin shop in 1994.

#7621 infoneeded bug
Cross-build for QNX ARM smashes stack when using FunPtr wrappers

I have built an unregistered LLVM cross-compiler for arm-unknown-nto-qnx8.0.0eabi, which I finally got to build using the attached patch. Simple programs no longer crash like they do in registered ARM cross-compilers (as reported on mailing list at http://www.haskell.org/pipermail/ghc-devs/2013-January/000005.html and other places), however the following code does crash:
{-# LANGUAGE ForeignFunctionInterface #-} module Main (main) where import Foreign.Ptr foreign import ccall "wrapper" wrap_refresh :: ( IO ()) -> IO (FunPtr ( IO ())) main :: IO () main = do wrap_refresh (return ()) return ()
It seems, from experiments, that any code using the "wrapper" imports causes this error:
$ ./Main *** stack smashing detected ***: Main terminated Abort (core dumped)

Ok, someone will need to debug this then. It could be a problem with libffi.
comment:10 Changed 4 years ago by psycotica0
I've looked into this, and have decided that whether or not GHC is correct, libffi is definitely worong.
The following code works under arm-linux-gnueabi and native, but not under qnx:
#include <stdio.h> #include <ffi.h> /* Acts like puts with the file given at time of enclosure. */ void puts_binding(ffi_cif *cif, unsigned int *ret, void* args[], FILE *stream) { *ret = fputs(*(char **)args[0], stream); } int main() { ffi_cif cif; ffi_type *args[1]; ffi_closure *closure; int (*bound_puts)(char *); int rc; /* Allocate closure and bound_puts */ closure = ffi_closure_alloc(sizeof(ffi_closure), &bound_puts); if (closure) { /* Initialize the argument info vectors */ args[0] = &ffi_type_pointer; /* Initialize the cif */ if (ffi_prep_cif(&cif, FFI_DEFAULT_ABI, 1, // if (ffi_prep_cif(&cif, FFI_VFP, 1, // if (ffi_prep_cif(&cif, FFI_SYSV, 1, &ffi_type_uint, args) == FFI_OK) { /* Initialize the closure, setting stream to stdout */ if (ffi_prep_closure_loc(closure, &cif, puts_binding, stdout, bound_puts) == FFI_OK) { rc = bound_puts("Hello World!"); /* rc now holds the result of the call to fputs */ } } } /* Deallocate both closure, and bound_puts */ ffi_closure_free(closure); return 0; }
The formatting's a little off, because I cut and paste it from the libffi documentation. So, that crashes stacks when built with gcc and run on qnx.
I looked into libffi some and found that the problem seems to be in two calls of __clear_cache, which are meant to clear arm's instruction and data caches, since it's doing tricky stuff in there. They appear to be causing trouble, though...
Seems like this person was having the same trouble with Python on QNX
__clear_cache appears to be Linux syscall thing on ARM for this, and while the code is building on QNX, maybe it works differently there, or is broken?
Either way, I think I'll have to work on this with the FFI people unless any of you know what's up.

Is Google moving away from the Android brand?
Yesterday, Dutch media guru @erwblo tweeted an interesting question. Erwin wondered whether Android users are aware that their phone runs Google's mobile OS. People around me usually are, and in my experience, they usually consciously choose Android over other options.
But others chimed in and it seems that at least a portion of Android users are unaware that their Samsung or HTC phone is powered by the cute little green robot.
Market vs. Play
This made me wonder about Google's brand strategy. In order for "Now available on Android" ad slogans to work, it's essential that users know they own an Android-powered phone, and can download the app. And up until recently, Google had one essential app that was fully Android-branded, Android Market. But Market became Play, and with that move, the age of the robot all but came to an end.
Vendor branding
New phones now will have Play pre-installed, and judging from screenshots I've seen from the HTC One series, Samsung's Galaxy SIII and Galaxy Nexus, their end-user experience is pretty much Android-free.
I think this is a potential threat to the Android ecosystem. It's essential that if Google starts pushing the Play brand instead of Android, vendors do the same. And whatever it's called, the OS and the ecosystem should be a selling point for the phone or tablet. I get the feeling that Samsung prefers to push it's own Galaxy brand, and doesn't mind customers not knowing about Android. This to me seems short-sighted, and it doesn't do Google justice.
So what do you think? Will we be talking about Galaxies two years from now? Play-phones? Or will the mechanical man prevail?

Taxpayers in Camp Hill might see their school district property taxes increase by as much as 3.3 percent. They might not.
Here's the problem: The school board doesn't plan on telling anyone until it's too late.
That is because there are still too many unknowns, Superintendent David Reeder said.
A big one is the teachers' contract, which is under negotiation. The current contract ends in June, and more negotiations are scheduled this month. Other factors are possible enrollment spikes and changes in state allocations.
The vagueness of the possible tax increase rubs some residents the wrong way.
Pete Regan, a former school board member and anti-tax crusader who lost his seat in the last election, called it "a fairly abstract approach to budgeting."
"They're winging it, and they're out of money," he said. "Why are they hiding this budget process from the public? ... They're not giving the public any time to react. They're circling the wagons and don't want the public involved in what they want to do."
But Gordan Fry, a Camp Hill resident who owns three properties in the borough, said he has always known his taxes probably would go up by about 3 percent.
While he thinks Camp Hill's taxes are high, that doesn't seem to be deterring younger people from moving into the borough, with its quality schools, he said.
"While the school taxes are outrageous, they do seem to be producing the students," he said. "Compare that to the taxes in Harrisburg and see the results."
According to state Department of Education spokesman Tim Eller, when a district adopts its preliminary and/or its proposed final budget, it has to decide on a specific tax, not a range. That millage rate is considered an estimate, though, and can go up or down before the final budget adoption in June.
Camp Hill gave the state Department of Education an exact figure with its January budget. That was 13.4791 mills, according to state figures. That would have come to about a 4 percent increase.
Reeder said the district has been very transparent about the possibility of taxes going up by as much as 3.3 percent. He said hardly anyone has spoken about the budget at board meetings.
"They knew it was a possibility," he said.
While many districts submit a budget in January in order to qualify for a higher tax rate than that normally allowed by law under the state's Act 1, most also submit a more detailed budget around May before passing a final budget in June. That allows residents more time to comment on the budget while it can still be changed.
Camp Hill is relying on the preliminary budget passed in January to qualify to go above the tax increase allowed by the state without an exception or a referendum.
Camp Hill submitted the proper forms in January as part of the Act 1 exception process, he said.
The district updated its budget for informational purposes in April, although it did not come up for a vote. At that time, officials proposed eliminating four staff positions through attrition to help make up a budget gap. They said they would cut a librarian, the facilities director and two instructional coaches.
They also listed the deficits they would face if there is no tax increase, a 1.7 percent increase, a 3.3 percent increase or something in between.
The proposed budget is posted on the district website. For local real estate tax revenue, it lists the same number as last year — about $10 million. Local real estate taxes account for 59 percent of the district's budget.
Reeder said the district has relied on its January preliminary budget for four of the last five years.
Camp Hill's index, set by the state, this year for an allowable tax increase without an exception was 1.7 percent. With the exception from the state to allow for the spike in pension costs, the district could increase taxes by up to 3.3 percent.
That doesn't mean it will, Reeder said. But the figure probably will not be locked in before the final budget vote June 18.
Jay Himes, director of the Pennsylvania Association of School Business Officials, said it is "pretty much the standard procedure" for districts to pass a preliminary budget in May, even if it had passed one in January to qualify for an exception under Act 1.
But he added, "Sometimes there is a disconnect between Act 1 and other provisions of the school code."
Budget documents submitted to the state have to have a tax rate, but it can be a "moving target" as revenue and expenditures evolve, Himes said.
It sounds like Camp Hill "is trying to hedge their bets," he said. "They're trying to play it out until the last minute."
State Rep. Glen Grell, who represents Camp Hill, said he was not familiar with the Camp Hill situation or the timelines for budgets.
"If they are allowed to do it, it is not unreasonable given the uncertainty of state allocations," he said.
Jay Ostrich, spokesman for the conservative Commonwealth Foundation, said Camp Hill's approach is "a sign of the times."
"They're taking a look at a bill they don't know how to pay," he said. "There was too much spending over the decades. School districts and the state have made promises that can't continue."
Tim Potts is director of Democracy Rising, a government reform group that advocates for transparency in government. He is also a member of the Carlisle Area School Board, so he understands the pressures school districts are facing.
"School districts are doing all kinds of things to mitigate ... the incredibly hostile" atmosphere caused by state budget cuts to education and rising pensions, he said.
What it means
— Without a tax increase, the owner of a property valued at $100,000 in Camp Hill would continue to owe $1,295 in school taxes, at a millage rate of 12.95. The owner of a property at the borough's median value of about $188,000 would pay $2,435.
— A 3.3 percent increase would add $43 to the bill for an owner of a $100,000 property, for a total of $1,338. The owner of a $188,000 property would pay $2,515, an increase of $80.

Corvallis police are hunting a masked gunman suspected of sticking up a gas station.
Driving a white Ford pickup truck, the alleged bandit rolled into the Shell station in the 1600 block of Southwest Third Street around 7 a.m. on Jan. 7, police said.
Clad in a ski mask, the suspect allegedly brandished a handgun and told a station attendant to open the cash drawer, police said.

Thinner Cody Coming Into His Own for Ravens
In his second year with the Baltimore Ravens, defensive tackle Terrence Cody is coming into his own and living up to the hype that followed him at the University of Alabama.
Cody, who was an instrumental piece to the Crimson Tide's national title team in 2010, was drafted in the second round of the 2010 draft by the Ravens. He started just one game in his rookie campaign, in part because he was overweight and because of his questionable work ethic.
During the offseason, Cody shredded 25 pounds, dropping from 360 to 335 pounds. After cutting veteran Kelly Gregg for salary cap reasons, Cody was immediately called upon to fill the void.
He's now become a force in the middle of the Ravens defense, which ranks second in the NFL in rush defense (72.5 yards per game) and third overall in total defense.

You Better Work!: Underground Dance Music in New York City, Kai Fikentscher, 2000
By day a mild-mannered ethnomusicologist; when night falls whooping it up with the banjee queens at Shelter. Fikentscher goes deep with participant observation to give the social scientists their field guide to the '90s New York underground: the DJ's plumage, the calls of the different dance species, and the mating rituals of the lesser-spotted Garage-head. Best on the essential blackness, gayness and churchiness of it all.

School Undercrowding.
It occurred to me while reading about West Bend's over-crowing school conditions and the millions that it will cost to remedy the situation over a number of years, that some arrangements with communities like Shorewood, where the schools are experiencing under-crowing, that mutual arrangements whether temporary or permanent, could be made. Where distances aren't that great, we could at least make temporaty accommodates. After all, we're one state aren't we? How about it, Representative Wasserman and Senator Darling? Let's hear from both of you.

Stepping up
One year ago, just five classes were offered at what the Orcas Senior Center refers to as its "affordable small college." Today, there are 15 such classes.
One year ago, there were few theater and dance classes at Orcas Center. Today, there are a whole bunch, all offered by top professionals in the field, and available to both youth and adults.
Back when Victoria Parker was director of the Orcas Island Library, it was rare for the San Juan Nature Institute to offer lectures on Orcas Island. Today, under Parker's direction, the Nature Institute schedules three or four per quarter. Its Sept. 24 lecture, "Farming Land and Sea: Coast Salish Peoples and the Northshore," filled the local library's meeting room to capacity.
Local people are also quenching their thirst for learning at The Funhouse, where the fall schedule of classes provides something for virtually everyone. Andrew Youngren's Digital Film Editing class, which took place Sept. 24, filled The Funhouse's video production room to capacity with a mix of youth and adults.
As for the Orcas Island Library, it continues to maintain its long-standing commitment to lifelong learning.
Still other classes are being offered at the Orcas Grange and in people's private homes.
How does one explain this explosion of learning opportunities on Orcas Island? Jan Koltun-Titus, director of the Senior Center, offers two explanations as to why learners are flocking to that facility. "I think it's prompted by the fact that there are so many talented teachers around, and because the senior community is ready for them. We are getting a good response to most of them," she said. The slate of classes there are in fields such as computers, tai chi, arts and crafts, music, literature, and film.
Orcas Center officials admit that they weren't sure what to expect when they announced an ambitious schedule of offerings in theater, improv and dance, all of them taught by renowned professionals. Last week they got a pleasant surprise when large numbers of youngsters turned up to attend the classes. Executive Director Barbara Courtney was thrilled. "The first two classes with (Broadway star) Noah Racey and (professional dancer) Anthony Manuel are very popular," she said. "There were a number of people who just showed up. That was a surprise." Improv classes for both youth and adults begin tomorrow, Sept. 29.
The Orcas Island Library has had a long history of offering Lifelong Learning classes that have attracted large numbers of islanders. Library Director Phil Heikkinen is expecting more of the same this fall, and is glad to see that they're now sprouting up all over Orcas Island. "They're almost like a fixture," Heikkinen said. "I just think it's great to have opportunities like that anywhere. It's a great Orcas tradition." Last year almost 3,700 people attended classes at the Orcas Island Library. This year's classes are in the following subjects: Biology, Literature, Poetry, Writing and Connections between the Land and Sea.

Investments that produce income are hot right now, and real estate investment trusts in particular have high yields and tax advantages. But are REITs still a smart investment right now?
In the following video, Dan Caplinger, the Fool's director of investment planning, looks at whether REITs are still a tax-smart choice for investors. Dan notes that mortgage REITs Annaly Capital (NYSE: NLY ) and American Capital Agency (NASDAQ: AGNC ) have dominated investors' attention in the REIT space for years, given their double-digit yields. But as interest rates have started to rise, shares of Annaly and American Capital Agency have dropped, raising questions about REITs generally. Dan goes on to observe, though, that other REITs with actual real-estate holdings rather than just the mortgage-backed securities that Annaly and American Capital own could have better growth prospects. He points to Simon Property Group (NYSE: SPG ) and Public Storage (NYSE: PSA ) as two REITs with different types of exposure to real estate. In addition, the Vanguard REIT ETF (NYSEMKT: VNQ ) is just one way you can get exposure to a broader selection of real estate investment trusts.
Dan concludes with a discussion of the tax advantages of real estate investment trusts, with REITs not having to pay corporate tax. However, most REITs don't qualify for favored dividend-tax status, costing investors more on the dividends they receive than on dividends from regular stocks. In the end, Dan concludes that favorable trends in the real-estate market will probably be the key driver of growth for REITs in the future.
Make your portfolio tax-smarter
You have to defend yourself from higher taxes, especially in light of tax increases earlier this year that affected nearly every American taxpayer. With the right planning, you can take control of your taxes and potentially even lower your tax bill. In our brand-new special report "How You Can Fight Back Against Higher Taxes," The Motley Fool's tax experts run through what to watch out for in doing your tax planning this year.

Hi Remi,
from what I've seen in the first test (you can read the condition and the trim in the post above) the board tends to stay very low on the water and it does need to push hard to keep the nose up and riding fast and free.
It means that the R17 doesn't fit this board fine when so light (as you earlier stated) althought I kept planning as never done before (I was on 10,7!).
I couldn't test the provided fin because it flipped in the box and no time to fix it.
Now I have a question about fin rake (R19).
I guess it is strictly correlated to sail model and brand to sailor weight and to mast base position. Am I right?
I mean,if we use a more forward raked fin we obtain a bigger power for pushing the tail and keep the nose up,we can use a smaller sail (in the a given wind) and going at the same angle and we can move a bit back the mast base.Does it correct? If yes, it will happen if the sailor is able to strong push the fin!
But, what about if it doesn't happen?! I guess that a fin like this will slow down the board. Please correct me if I wrong,I wish learn here.
So what's better for a med weight sailor good trained (around 80 kg) a +8 or a more "human" and faster +6 ?
Thank you

I think that in light wind a +8 is the way to go but what about when 15 kns or more?

School lockdowns unrelated
Three schools in West Bremerton were locked down at 1 p.m. for nearly an hour Tuesday after a 911 caller reported gunshots had been fired near West Sound Technical Skills Center on National Avenue.
West Sound, West Hills Elementary and Renaissance High schools, as well as the district's administration building on Marion Avenue, were locked down until 1:55 p.m., according to Bremerton School District (BSD) spokeswoman Patty Glaser.
She said the lockdown was "precautionary," delaying school buses on nearby routes for about 15 minutes.
The Bremerton Police Department scoured the area with dogs, finding no evidence of shots being fired, before notifying the district that students could be released, Glaser said.
The Central Kitsap School District (CKSD) reopened school at 10 a.m. after having locked down Cottonwood Elementary, Fairview Junior High, PineCrest Elementary and Woodlands Elementary schools while Kitsap County Sheriff's deputies searched for a burglary suspect.
Tuesday's incidents are not believed to be connected.
The CK burglary was reported around 6:30 a.m. at the Golden Mum restaurant off Central Valley Road in Bremerton.
Kitsap County Sheriff's Detective Sgt. Eric Bockelie said the owners, who were sleeping inside the restaurant, awoke to find a man inside the building. One owner chased him outside and said he thought the man had some sort of weapon, according to Bockelie.
Detectives developed a person of interest and searched the man's residence, located at nearby Weatherstone Apartments.
Bockelie said they found items related to the burglary and some cash taken from Golden Mum inside the man's apartment and on his person.
The 38-year-old Bremerton man was booked into Kitsap County Jail for two counts of burglary and theft of cash from a former employer. He robbed the Golden Mum once before and stole from a former employer last year, according to Bockelie.

To the editor:
To "same thing over again," (DMG 2-22/23-14), have you noticed that the writers being responded to also "write the same comments and views every month"? It's a dialog, Ms. Curious, and this is an opinion column.
Obviously these topics have not been resolved to certain contributors' satisfaction and maybe never will.
This column is a two-way street which means that your comments regarding "intolerant" and "do not respect other people's views" can be applied to both sides. In fact your "one-sided" comment could definitely pertain pro/con to any issue.
And no, God doesn't "treat us all the same." God is long suffering (patient) which is a bonus, i.e., we've been given more time to read his Word, the bible.
God allows certain problems to occur, e.g., health, weather, financial. How we respond to adversity reveals much about our belief system.
How do you know that "He (God) doesn't judge"? God judged plenty in the Bible. And there's going to be one horendous final judgment at the Great White Throne (Rev 20:11-15). God's wrath will be apparent at the Tribulation for He will put an end to the sinful times in which we are living.
But His love is also evident via Jesus Christ who came to save all who would repent and believe (John 3:16-17).

AstraZeneca ($AZN) today had another big round of dismal revenue numbers to explain today. With generic rivals tearing at some of its key franchises, the pharma giant reported a 13% drop in revenue for the first quarter. And AstraZeneca's weakness on the blockbuster front immediately shifted attention to its late-stage pipeline, which is expected to ride to the rescue in the next few years through a combination of savvy R&D work and some inspired blockbuster deal-making.
Briggs Morrison--Courtesy of AZ
Company executives told reporters today that AstraZeneca plans to double the number of late-stage drugs in the pipeline by 2016. This week at BIO, late-stage R&D chief Briggs Morrison told FierceBiotech that the company strategy calls for his group to stay closely focused on its existing crop of late-stage drugs--looking for a break after a long string of setbacks in the clinic--while nurturing its most promising mid-stage programs and tackling "some" bolt-on deals for late-stage therapies.
"We are looking very, very aggressively in cardiovascular/metabolics," says Morrison, a field where AstraZeneca is "very, very light." And he's also scouting for a late-stage program for the respiratory field, another category that fits into the company's big-three disease fields, which also includes oncology.
Morrison, who joined AstraZeneca about a year ago, says he's wide open to doing another deal like Ardea Biosciences ($RDEA), which the pharma giant acquired for $1.26 billion. That deal delivered a late-stage drug for gout which quickly emerged as one of its top prospects. And he says another deal like the one with Amgen ($AMGN), which signed on to partner up five antibodies for inflammatory conditions, or the diabetes pact with Bristol-Myers Squibb ($BMY) could serve as models to bring in new programs.

"One or more (of the drugs now in the Phase III pipeline) might not make it," Morrison cautions. "That's possible, yes." But the company i

LSU coach Les Miles weighed in on the SEC scheduling decision to keep permanent, cross-division opponents as part of an eight-game annual league schedule. Miles was speaking at his Shreveport stop on the annual Tiger Tour of the state.
One day after LSU athletic director Joe Alleva blasted the plan for unfairness, Miles followed suit to the Shreveport Times.
"It's not equitable," Miles told the Times. "It's a mistake of the schedule over time. Certain schools will have a very difficult time; certain schools will have maybe an easier road to the championship. I made my case. I'm certainly not bitter about it. It's fundamental to little league, to any conference.
"I always thought the one thing you do in conference is share opponents - play everybody. This is the one conference you don't do that."
The SEC has been debating the matter for three years and came up with the decision in a10-4 vote on Sunday. Alleva and Miles have been vocal in their opposition but the SEC presidents leaned to the tradition of the Tennessee-Alabama and Georgia-Auburn games, which would be lost without each school having a permanent foe.
LSU's permanent opponent is Florida, which is a perennially strong football program. Alleva said other schools such as Ole Miss and Vanderbilt, who are each others' permanent foe, want to keep playing each other and avoid playing the stronger conference programs.**************

It was elimination night on "American Idol," but no one went home.
The judges decided to use their sacred "save" card to keep "Big Mike" Michael Lynche from leaving the competition.
The 26-year-old personal trainer from St. Petersburg, Fla. was surprisingly the contestant with the fewest votes this week.
Andrew Garcia and Aaron Kelly joined him in the bottom three.
Big Mike chose to perform Maxwell's "This Woman's Work" to sway the judges to keep him on the show -- and it worked.
"Now you know we can only use this once in the competition," Simon said, building suspense. "And it was a unanimous decision, if that makes you feel any better."
Last year, it was Kalamazoo native Matt Giraud who won over the judges and got the save.
In my opinion, it was a save worth making. It baffles me how Big Mike arrived in the last-place position in the first place, but situations like this prove why the "save" exists.
He has one of the best voices in the competition and it would have been unfair for his run to be cut short.
Based on our poll yesterday, MLive readers who voted were likely surprised by the outcome as well.
Just 4 percent of you thought Michael Lynche would be voted off.
Here are the complete results from the poll, in which 219 readers voted:
- Aaron Kelly -- 26 percent (58 votes)
- Andrew Garcia -- 26 percent (58 votes
- Tim Urban -- 26 percent (58 votes)
- Siobhan Magnus -- 11 percent (24 votes)
- Michael Lynche -- 4 percent (9 votes)
- Katie Stevens -- 2 percent (5 votes)
- Crystal Bowersox -- 2 percent (4 votes)
- Lee Dewyze -- 1 percent (2 votes)
- Casey James -- <1 percent (1 vote)
Do you think the judges were right to use the save this week?

Special ReportsIn-depth feature stories and other projects from the Staten Island Advance
VP Cheney pulls out of subdued morning program in deference to families, Mayor Bloomberg says
Thursday, September 11, 2003
By DAVID ANDREATTA
Unlike this day last year, no bagpipers trudged through Tottenville at dawn and there were no plans to fill the night sky with music at Snug Harbor.
Instead, the city was to commemorate the second anniversary of the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks today in a far more subdued manner, mostly confining the tribute to the World Trade Center site.
The ceremony was to incorporate many of the same elements from the first anniversary, although families of victims, rather than politicians, were to play the central role.
Upward of 350 relatives of Staten Islanders killed in the attacks had planned to leave the borough at dawn aboard buses bound for Ground Zero, where thousands of victims' relatives were expected to gather for the morning program.
Vice President Dick Cheney yesterday pulled out of the ceremony, opting instead to pay his respects at an afternoon memorial service in Manhattan for Port Authority of New York and New Jersey employees killed in the attacks.
Mayor Michael Bloomberg, who will attend the ceremony, said the decision to keep Cheney off the site was made because the required heightened security would have "inconvenienced or delayed family members." The White House corroborated his statement.
"He thought it would take away from the families' focus and the families' ability to mourn," Bloomberg said. "First and foremost, this event downtown at this site has to be for the families."
Rather than having politicians recite the names of the dead, as they did last year, children who lost a parent in the Twin Towers were chosen to read from the grim list of 2,792 names that includes 266 Staten Islanders. Another casualty of the attacks was a man from New Dorp who died aboard the plane that crashed in Shanksville, Pa.
The agenda included no speeches, which follows the precedent set last year of a quiet, dignified service.
People were expected to begin gathering around Ground Zero at 7 a.m., and fully descend on the site by 8:30. Sixteen minutes later, a moment of silence was to mark the time when the first hijacked airliner struck Tower 1. Houses of worship throughout the five boroughs were asked to toll their bells.
Following the silence, 100 pairs of children were to begin reading the names of victims, and family members would be permitted to descend a ramp seven stories into the site to lay flowers or other mementos.
Three other breaks in the recitation of names at 9:03, 9:59 and 10:29 were to mark the time the second plane struck and when each tower collapsed.
By noon, after buglers had played "Taps," the program was to conclude.
The "Tribute in Light," the powerful twin beams of light that evoke the Twin Towers, was to shine skyward at sunset.
The Towers of Light, a scaled-down version of the "Tribute in Light" was to illuminate the sky from Angels' Circle, a traffic island in Grasmere that has been transformed into a makeshift memorial for Staten Island victims.
The tribute was to follow a 7 p.m. groundbreaking ceremony for the Staten Island Sept. 11 memorial at the promenade behind the Richmond County Bank Ballpark at St. George.
On the morning of Sept. 11, 2001, thousands of horrified spectators watched the Twin Towers crumble from the promenade. The walkway later became a meeting place for thousands of displaced commuters whose only refuge from the chaos in Manhattan was the Staten Island Ferry.

Word of advice to anyone changing old shocks, spray some WD-40 or a similar type oil on the back of the nuts the day before you change your shocks.

Emotional Dictation
Scorpio Daily Horoscope
You may be letting your emotional needs dictate your rational choices today, which could be a sign that you are behaving compulsively. The best way to make a decision between intellect and emotion is to turn to your higher self to listen to the wisdom of your spirit. Our higher self is connected to the universe, but also has access to our thoughts and feelings. It has the ability to rise above it all rather than being controlled by any one force, and can weigh all the factors from a place of peace. Even before following a sudden impulse, we can go within in the space of a breath and access the wisdom within us. Today before making any decisions, you can refer to your higher self for the wisdom you need.
When we practice regularly connecting to the wisdom within us, we learn to discern quickly which voice is leading us in the best direction. We can look back to learn from previous choices and then recall what our inner guidance was telling us. We know when we have listened and when we have gone against its direction, and this information is useful for our learning and growth. Every choice we make is an opportunity for us to learn about life and about ourselves as we co-create with the universe. There is no right or wrong, only choices that take us closer or farther away from our goals. Today knowing that your higher self has your best interests at heart, you can listen and trust.

|using house as a guypoint
|email@example.com (Ed Gilbert)
|Tue, 30 Jul 1996 13:56:59 -0400
Bill, Having done some of the things you are planning on doing with my own 50' Rohn 25 tower, I would advise you to spend a little more money on the tower and get something that is either totally self-supporting, or alternatively, a tower that needs no support above the house bracket. Guy wires are trouble enough when you use earth anchors. When you have to install raised guy anchors and house anchors, they're an incredible nuissance. You will end up spending an extraordinary amount of time designing and installing these special guy supports. Ask Tony how many days he spent working on his house bracket, crawling around in his hot attic measuring, drilling, fabricating special parts, etc. The effort of actually putting the antennas on my tower was trivial compared to all the work I did on guying it. With hindsight I would have been much better off just using Rohn 45 or Rohn 55, which need no guys above the house bracket, or using a self-supporting tower. I don't care for crankups, but something like the Rohn RTP series would be ideal. Another disadvantage of guy wires on a small lot is that aesthetically they give an appearance to the tower that will not be what your xyl and neighbors want to see. I painted my guys with flat black paint, which helped a lot, but they still give a certain "rats nest" appearance to the antenna installation. 73, Ed Gilbert, WA2SRQ

Didn't see it posted yet. Hope you don't mind, Eric.
beat me to the punch by two minutes!
Great Article..
One quote that stood out to me was this one right here...
"It was a very, very light depth chart in terms of point guard in the draft. We think it's a very, very light depth chart in terms of point guards in free agency," said Olshey. "So we just could not get caught going into July back on that routine of trying to find a diamond in the rough - or trying to bring back a veteran who doesn't have enough juice left in the tank."
Read more NBA news and insight: http://www.hoopsworld.com/Story.asp?story_id=16633#ixzz0sCHqloy0
Yeah, saw the time stamp on it and didn't see it here so I posted it. Loved the article, by the way...
Great Article,
It sounds to me like Olshey really knows what he is doing. I think he did a great job with the draft. Now I hope there is some magic left for free agency.
I was thinking the same thing!
With Free Agnecy near, one thing is clear. We won't get S**t (sorry for the typos but as Miguel can attest Spanish wine is great)
We should as I mentioned keep our cash in our pocket and our peck*rs in our pants. Sorry to be redundant again but nobody who's looking for a ring will want to play with BG, BD, DJ and EJ THIS SEASON. Reality check. They aren't star material this year (yet) Everyone thinks BG is the second coming of Larry Bird (he can't be he ain't ugly enough and I won't make any jokes about French Lick). We don't have a dominant player who can take over. Sorry again but the Rookie Russian Roulette Rule, one chance out of six or more BG will bomb.
LBJ is the only FA worth persuing and he can't be guaranteed of a finals spot here (He won't go to Chi because he'd be overshadowed by MJ no matter how good he plays.) JJ or Rudy aren't Take Over players so even with them we'll struggle for a playoff berth (birth??) There we are with a FA that won't help, little cap and our thumbs between our cheeks (Pick the end of the body you want). JJ or Gay will cost a lot and we have to overpay for Rudy. We could get Deng but he ain't in your face.
Anyway, hold on to our cash this year, wait for BG, DJ, Rhino and EJ to develop and maybe Sofo. . They all have only POTENTIAL and are relatively cheap but they ain't worth squatola (now). If they mature in a year we have a MONSTER team. Next year we go after Mello and we'd have a championship quality team to offer. (no doo-doo, we will) BD will still have a little gas in the tank and he and Mello would be a good fit. Also Mello will kick his tuchus or embarras him We can offer him
BD. 12ppg, 8 asst
EJ 18+ ppg, one of the best on ball defenders around
BG-- assume 20/10 in 2011-12
Kaman 18/10
This in not a crackpipe (or Spanish wine) dream.
Get a servicable SF who can play bench next year Sool or ?? Outlaw implied he didn't want to come back. If this team isn't good enough can't carry a so-so SF we're screwed. WE're not top quality. Groom our rookie SF and get a young team that may not break 0.500 but that will play with passion and will be fun to watch
Again my favorite quote from Enter the Dragon "I never worry about losin' 'caus I'll be so busy lookin' pretty I won't even notice."
why wait a whole season when we can make the team competitive this season and then build on the chemistry they have built this year into next we wont get LBJ but we can make a strong trade for a SF iggy being ideal anyway this is all time passing chatter, who knows what Olshey has planned out whatever it is im sure hes looking at all the avenues available and will make the best decision for the team in his opinion.
now we play the waiting game.......the waiting game sucks.
toohipclip- I don't like wine but I know there's definetelly some good wine around here...
I agree with toohipclip that we have to take care about who we offer the money to. I think Gay doesn't worth it. And JJ is not the kind of player we really need.
I proposed one name in another post who could fit if we are looking for an intermediate solution: John Salmons. He has been a key player for the Bulls two seasons ago and for the Bucks last year. If I'm not wrong he's a FA and I think he could start for us as small forward. He's veteran (29) and a proven scorer and we could sign him for the right price.
Definetelly a name to consider...
It depends on if you want to be a contender. (see the movie On the Waterfront) We've watched Kobe, LBJ, Mello, MJ, Magic etc etc take over a game and win by sheer willpower and superhuman talent. Remember when LBJ singlehandedly overcame a 19 pt deficit to beat us? That's what we need to be contenders. Iggy, Gay or JJ, EJ, BD, BG, DJ, CK can't do that. We have no valid #1 option now. Gay, Iggy or JJ ain't what we need to plug the hole. If our team had had time to develop it's full potential LBJ would be beating down the door. What if we have a team that big people want to play for and are stuck with a so-so SF with a big contract? You've got a first or at best second round PO team. Right now we're s*cking hind t*t.
I agree this is a factor that separates Kobe, Lebron, and a few others from the rest of the pack. The problem is that all of Lebrons "superhuman talents" are known and studied by the rest of the league as well, so they are all waiting for July 1 to make an offer.
Actually one of the first three guys you mentioned would be a good acquisition because they are most likely what's going to be left after July 8. Chicago pulled off something extraordinary a few days ago. By trading away Kirk Hinrich they cleared up enough cap space to potentially offer Lebron James and Chris Bosh a contract. To me that shows that they are really serious about getting Lebron, where as we have not done any such move this offseason. However, even if we did something drastic like trade Kaman or trade Baron I would think it would be in vain. The Clippers have a negative stereotype to live down, and until we get our team back into the playoffs no big name free agent is going to look at this team as a favorable destination.
This is where we do agree. At present I think we are lackinga #1 option...a guy who can score in the 20's and put up 10 boards or 10 assists. We do however have a very good second option in Chris Kaman, Eric Gordon's numbers are good as well and he could be our third best option, Baron Davis' performance probably ranks as the fourth best option on playoff team. Still, what's unique about this situation is that we can have a potential #1 option...Blake Griffin. Blake was highly touted before the draft, and every expert expected him to become an instant star. After watching his numbers in the summer league (i think they were something like 16 PPG, 8RPG) I think the hype was very accurate. The problem is that we have to wait for our #1 guy to grow into the role, so expect him to be there about 2-3 years.
Again we will probably have to pick from the left overs in free agency so these guys are what we need at the moment...at least until we have made a successful playoff appearance and the rest of the league sees that we are finally going to commit to winning.
True, but sadly he becomes a free agent when we have all all the right peices but not the right expereince
Well, we kind of already have that problem except we have a so-so point guard with a big contract, not a so-so SF.

"I've come here with the full intent of staying through retirement," Small said. "If they'll have me, this is it. There are no more moves for Doug Small."
Small started his position Sept. 15, but he already feels at home. Born and raised in a small town in Ohio, Small attended college at Siena Heights in Adrian. One of the reasons Small and his wife wanted to relocate from Denver to this region was to be closer to their large extended family.
Small credits his flexibility for the variety of jobs and cities on his resume.
"I've had the small city kind of feel with both Syracuse and Dayton, the world-class international resort in Palm Springs, and then the large city, Denver," he said.
Small's goal is to make Grand Rapids first on national meeting-planners' lists.
"I like to think of Grand Rapids as just a smaller Denver, and Denver is now, in most research and reports, the hottest convention destination in the United States," Small said.
He said Grand Rapids offers all the same amenities as Denver: a strong convention infrastructure, phenomenal arts and culture, and nearby natural resources. He plans to build on the existing convention infrastructure and the work of previous CVB President Steve Wilson by working with city and regional leaders to build Grand Rapids's identity.
"You're seeing at this (Regional Policy Conference) over the past few days that the synergy is phenomenal," he said. "The passion to go from good to great is there. And we intend to be a leader to help that get accomplished."
What is your plan for branding Grand Rapids?
"Meeting planners now are looking for fresh choices. I think they're tired of flying across the Midwest. I think they're tired of doing each coast, and they're looking for something different. Chicago is a wonderful convention city, but who hasn't had their convention in Chicago?
"We have to find a customer base who is a good fit for Grand Rapids. From there, I think we go out and tell the story that we are a fresh choice, and that we have the amenities that cities twice our size wish they had. And if that entices them, which I think it will, what's going to close the deal are the people -- the passion, the collaboration.
"I'm going to work very hard on engaging the community. Our best ambassadors are us as locals. The community needs to understand that conventions don't just happen, they're asked to come. And when they come, you better deliver on the promise.
"That's really what branding is. Everyone gets caught up in a brand, whether it's a slogan or a logo. But purely branding to me is making a promise, and then you have to deliver on that promise."
If you could go back and give yourself advice at the beginning of your career, what would it be?
"I don't know how realistic it is, but to worry only about those things that I can control. I tend to worry about too many things that I don't have control over, but I'm getting better.
"I use a line whenever I see staff starting to get uptight. I tell them, 'You know what, folks? We're not saving lives for a living. We sell fun for a living. Let's act like it.'
"I see way too much now of the lack of balance in people's lives, and it scares me. To think you can't be successful if you don't work 80 hours a week, I think is very dangerous. Work smart, and only worry about those things you can control. It's in somebody else's hands other than that."
What are some of your hobbies?
"Cooking, with a passion. Gourmet cooking. I'm the chef of the family -- my wife wears the tool belt, I carry the knives. It works well. I don't do it because my wife's a bad cook -- I do it because I want to do it. I absolutely love it. It's my relaxation. I love food, any kind of food.
"I want to start a restaurant week here. The restaurant week in Denver is now serving about 120,000 dinners during restaurant week. Denver realized they lacked in a reputation for good, independent restaurants, and restaurant week was born, which was part of the Convention and Visitors Bureau. We introduced it and now I think it is one of the top five in the United States.
"We're going to start that here for two reasons. First, I think the restaurants here deserve it -- this city has great restaurants for its size. And secondly, we need to put a focus nationally on the fact that this community has the destination appeal that you can't find in other cities, and I think a restaurant week is a great way to do that.
"It's probably going to be 2009 when I can get that started, but I do want to sit down with some of the restaurateurs and say, 'Let's have at it.' And the CVB will take a lead role in the marketing of it. All I ask is that they let me in the kitchen a little bit to chop.
"Also, I absolutely love the game of golf. Ten years in Palm Springs I thought was a Shangri-La. I look around here at the golf courses, and I can't wait.
"I really love all spectators sports, but I'm a huge college football fan. I've had family go to the University of Notre Dame, and I've been a Notre Dame fan from the day I was born.
"And then spending time with my daughter. I know it sounds corny, but I just love family time."
What is your favorite thing to cook?
"My staff in Syracuse used to tease me, saying I was convinced I was Italian. I have no Italian blood in me. They said I am Italian by diet. So any type of Italian. I love to mess around with any type of pasta. I can open up the refrigerator and make you a killer pasta.
"Part of it is, I do love the whole Italian heritage. I visited Italy, and I fell in love with the people; I fell in love with the country. I had already been in love with the food."
What would surprise people to know about you?
"Being one of 14 children tends to shock people. My mom and dad have been together for 62 years. People ask them, 'With 14 kids, you must have driven each other up a wall. How did you stay together so long?' They always joke and say, 'Well, we made a deal that whoever left had to take the children.' That's probably the biggest surprise, that I'm the 10th of 14 children."
If you could ask one person -- living or dead -- one question, whom would you ask and what would the question be?
"The question's the tough part. Of the 14 family members, we had a sister who was killed at 5 years old in a car accident. And I never met her because I wasn't born yet. I'd like to ask her, 'What's heaven like?'
"I would like nothing more than to have a conversation with her. And I guess I'd ask, 'In your short five years, what do you remember? What did you plan to be? What did you want to be when you grew up, Elizabeth?' I would love more than anything to have a conversation with her."
This interview was conducted by Olivia Pulsinelli, email@example.com.

This is supposedly the unedited version of the comments made by Cliven Bundy:
…" and so what I've testified to ya', I was in the WATTS riot, I seen the beginning fire and I seen the last fire. What I seen is civil disturbance. People are not happy, people is thinking they did not have their freedom; they didn't have these things, and they didn't have them.
We've progressed quite a bit from that day until now, and sure don't want to go back; we sure don't want the colored people to go back to that point; we sure don't want the Mexican people to go back to that point; and we can make a difference right now by taking care of some of these bureaucracies, and do it in a peaceful way.
Let me tell.. talk to you about the Mexicans, and these are just things I know about the negroes. I want to tell you one more thing I know about the negro. Continue reading Cliven Bundy's Comments on Race — Unedited

STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The recent events surrounding the fatal Drunken Monkey brawl have opened up old wounds for Pamela Alao.
Following that incident earlier this month, Stephen Fasano was charged with second-degree manslaughter and third-degree assault for allegedly punching 46-year-old Abdou Cisse.
Fasano hit Cisse twice in the face during the altercation, according to police and court documents. Cisse fell to the ground, cracked his skull and died.
The 23-year-old suspect, accompanied by his attorney, surrendered to police, and was arraigned on the felony charges and released after a judge set bail at $50,000.
Mrs. Alao, of Graniteville, lost her son, Michael, in a one-punch incident last year, and the alleged perpetrator was charged with third-degree assault, which is a misdemeanor.
The manslaughter charge, which can be filed when someone recklessly causes the death of another, is a class C felony, punishable by up to 15 years in prison if convicted at trial. Fasano also faces two misdemeanor counts of third-degree assault.
"It brought back a lot of memories," Mrs. Alao said.
Michael Alao, 22, was involved in an altercation last April with a co-worker, Timothy Evans, at Forever Fridays barbershop, 450 Castleton Ave. in Brighton Heights, according to court records.
Evans, 31, allegedly punched Alao, and he fell to the ground and suffered head injuries leading to his death almost a week later.
An autopsy determined the cause of his death to be "blunt impact of head with skull fracture and brain injuries," according to Ellen Borakove, a spokeswoman for the city Medical Examiner's office.
"This led to my son's death and it's a misdemeanor," she said. "I do not understand the disparity. It doesn't make sense. Why is this case an assault and that one (at the Drunken Monkey) is manslaughter?"
Mrs. Alao suggested that the intense media attention that was sparked by the Drunken Monkey case might explain why the cases are being handled differently. The bar is affiliated with "Mob Wives" reality TV star Angela "Big Ang" Raiola.
"It brings up a lot of unanswered questions," Mrs. Alao said. "I think because this was a high-profile case and got a lot of media attention, there were felony charges."
Evans is currently out on $5,000 bail and is due back in court July 2 to face the misdemeanor charge, which is punishable by a year in prison.
After his arrest, Evans told police: "I ended up walking out to leave out the shop to get away from everybody. As I leave, Mike comes after me in fight mode. I proceeded to defend myself. I didn't mean for things to go for [a] wrong turn as it did and I'm deeply apologetic and remorseful."
A spokesman for the District Attorney's office said he could not offer any clarification on the two incidents because he can't comment on pending cases.

No. 13 Oregon at Mississippi
When: 2:10 p.m.
Where: Oxford, Miss.
On the air: TV on ESPNU; radio on radio on 95.3 (KUJZ-FM) in Eugene-Springfield, 750 (KXTG-AM) in Portland, Sirius channel 91, XM channel 91
Records: Oregon (7-0); Mississippi (6-1)
Projected starters: Oregon: C Waverly Austin, F Mike Moser, G Damyean Dotson, G Joseph Young, G Johnathan Loyd. Mississippi: F Aaron Jones, C Demarco Cox, G Jarvis Summers, G Derrick Millinghaus, G Martavious Newby
Briefly: This is the first meeting between the Ducks and Rebels, who are each attempting to repeat last season's NCAA Tournament appearances ... The Rebels suffered their first loss on Thursday at Kansas State ... Senior point guard Johnathan Loyd, coach Dana Altman's first recruit at Oregon, became the sixth UO player with 80 wins in a career. He joined E.J. Singler, whose 89 are a school record, Fred Jones (81), Joevan Catron (81), Luke Jackson (80) and Dick Wilkins (80) ... This is Oregon's best start to a season since 2006, when UO won its first 13 games ... After UO won three games in three days one week ago, Altman praised his team's progress. He said: "I thought we took a big step this last weekend, I liked the progress we made. ... Still got a long ways to go but I like the direction we're headed. I think guys are working at it, just a lot of areas to improve upon." ... Four days after turning an ankle in the second of those three games, Oregon sophomore guard Damyean Dotson said he felt "fine" and that he would be able to play today. He will be playing in front of a number of family and friends, he said, who are making the drive from his hometown of Houston. It will be a rare chance to play in front of family for Dotson, who said his mother has never seen a game at Matthew Knight Arena yet ... Ole Miss guard Marshall Henderson has drawn considerable attention nationally for his outbursts, both scoring and otherwise, and will be one of Oregon's top priorities on defense. He has yet to start a game but averages 14.8 points per game, second-highest on the team, on 33 percent shooting. His bread-and-butter is shooting from three-point range, where he is shooting 35 percent this season and has accounted for 38 percent of the team's three-point attempts alone. "If he's not doing anything there is no reason for him to talk (trash)," Dotson said of Henderson. "If he's doing good he's going to let you know." ... According to Ken Pomeroy's advanced rankings, the Ducks are ranked 32nd. The Ducks' estimated 115.0 points per 100 possessions against a typical Division I defense is 12th nationally, however, according to Pomeroy.

FLINT, Michigan — The man who authorities say unsuccessfully tried to poison suspected serial killer Elias Abuelazam while in jail is expected to take a plea deal, according the Genesee County Prosecutor's Office.
Andre E. Franklin, 34, is expected to plea to attempted poisoning, which is a five-year felony according to the prosecutor's office.
Authorities say Franklin was a trusty in the Genesee County Jail working in the kitchen and used an oven cleaner on an apple and tried to send it to Abuelazam's cell.
The apple never made it to Abuelazam.
Abuelazam, 34, is in jail for three open counts of murder and six assault with intent to murder charges as a result of a summer stabbing spree.

DETROIT -- Thanks in part to the 129-pitch outing Tuesday night by Detroit Tigers ace Justin Verlander, everyone in the Tigers bullpen is available tonight for the team's key matchup with the Minnesota Twins.
Closer Fernando Rodney threw one inning Tuesday in the second game of a day-night doubleheader, but he is available.
And so is Bobby Seay, who missed the weekend series with the White Sox with a strained chest muscle.
Seay on Tuesday said he was available to pitch in the doubleheader. He warmed up late in the opener but did not appear in the game.
