When Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps steps onto a starting block a few days from now, a Stanford scientist named Krishna Shenoy will be asking himself a question: "What's going on in Michael Phelps' brain?"
Specifically, Shenoy would like to know what's happening in an area called the premotor cortex. This area doesn't directly tell muscles what to do. But it's the place where the brain gears up for something the body is about to do, like swimming.
In recent years, scientists who study the premotor cortex have found evidence that what it does can be quite complex. And a study just published in the journal Science suggests this part of the brain is involved in planning and strategy, and may even reflect a person's personality.
The premotor cortex isn't important for involuntary movements, like what we do when we accidentally touch a hot stove, Shenoy says. But it's critical for voluntary movements, especially complicated ones like the moving of your arms and legs in a way that carries you swiftly through the water, he says.
To learn more about how the brain prepares for this sort of movement, scientists at Washington University in St. Louis did an experiment involving two monkeys playing a virtual reality game.
The goal was to reach out and touch a virtual target, says Daniel Moran, one of the authors of the study. But in order to earn a reward, he says, the monkeys had to wait for a moment after they saw the target but before they started reaching for it.
What's going on in their premotor cortex at that moment is probably similar to what's happening in Michael Phelps' brain just before he hears the starting buzzer, Shenoy says.
It's also related to what happens in the brains of athletes who consciously visualize a great performance as a way to prepare for an event, says Donald Crammond of the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center.
Scientists can only speculate about what's happening to individual brain cells in people. But Moran and his colleague Thomas Pearce were able to monitor the activity of brain cells in the two monkeys.
And what those brain cells did changed dramatically depending on whether the virtual reality game offered the monkeys an unobstructed path to the target, or placed an obstacle in their way, which required them to think of a way to reach around the obstacle.
When the monkeys saw an obstacle, their brain cells began to keep track of much more information, Moran says. Instead of just remembering simple things like which direction to reach, the cells got involved in higher level questions like what the larger goal was and which strategy was most likely to achieve that goal.
"The more difficult it got, the more information the neurons would encode," Moran says.
That was one important finding. But the study also suggested something remarkable: activity in the premotor cortex reflected each monkey's personality.
While training the monkeys, it became clear that one was impulsive and a bit hyperactive, Pearce says, while the other was more patient and deliberate. And during the experiment, activity in their brain cells was consistent with those traits, he says.
"The patient monkey waited until all the information was known to him in order to form a plan," Pearce says. "The impatient monkey on the other hand planned on moving straight to the target as soon as the target showed up on the screen and only later would change his plan if the obstacle got in the way."
It may seem odd to think that brain cells involved in extending an arm could reveal something about an individual's personality. But that's not a crazy idea, says Shenoy. The brain often uses the same approach for high-level tasks as for simple ones, he says
"So the strategy you might adopt in reaching may be somehow reflective of the strategy you might adopt when making an investment or choosing a purchase or deciding whom to marry?"
Or, if you're Michael Phelps, the strategy you adopt in trying to win a 15th gold medal.
From NPR News, this is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED. I'm Audie Cornish.
And I'm Robert Siegel. When the Olympics begin in London later this month, most people will focus on the performance of athletes' bodies. But a few scientists will be more interested in their brains. NPR's Jon Hamilton has this story, on the latest research about how the brain gears up for what the body is about to do.
JON HAMIILTON, BYLINE: When Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps steps onto a starting block a few days from now, Krishna Shenoy will be asking himself a question.
KRISHNA SHENOY: What's going on in Michael Phelps' brain, to get ready to swim; so that he can do so accurately and quickly, and the way he wishes, right after the starting gun fires?
HAMIILTON: Shenoy is at Stanford. He studies the brain areas involved in movement. And he says there are at least two kinds of movement. One is involuntary, like when you touch a hot stove and pull back. He says that doesn't require much preparation in the brain.
SHENOY: But in so-called voluntary movement - like, in the swimming pool - it's thought that how you get ready to make those movements, how you get ready to move your muscles and your arms in a certain way, matter quite a lot.
HAMIILTON: That process is the subject of an experiment described in the journal "Science." Daniel Moran, of Washington University in St. Louis, says the experiment involved two monkeys playing a virtual reality game. The goal was to reach out and touch a virtual target. But in order to earn a reward, the monkeys had to wait for a moment - after they saw the target, but before they started reaching for it.
And during that waiting period, Moran monitored the activity of individual brain cells, in an area that starts working before a movement begins.
DANIEL MORAN: In this case, what we're doing is, we're looking at a planning area; where they're not actually moving, they're just thinking about moving.
HAMIILTON: Much the way Michael Phelps does just before the starting buzzer. You've heard about athletes visualizing a great performance. The monkeys were doing something similar, as their brains prepared for a movement that could be very simple or quite elaborate.
For example, Moran says, sometimes the monkeys had to get past an obstacle.
MORAN: It's sort of like if you're at a dining room table, right? And you want to reach for the bread basket out in front of you, but you have a big water glass in front. You have to reach around the water glass to grab it.
HAMIILTON: Or if you're Michael Phelps, it's like wanting to reach the other side of a pool, but realizing you'll have to swim faster than a bunch of competitors. Moran says once the monkeys saw an obstacle, their brain cells began to keep track of much more information. Instead of just remembering which direction to go, the cells got involved in higher-level questions, like what's the ultimate goal here, and what's the best way to achieve it?
MORAN: Only when you had a complicated task did he start to encode more than one or two pieces of information. The more difficult it got, the more information the neurons would encode.
HAMIILTON: That was one important finding. But the study also suggested something remarkable - that you may get a glimpse of someone's true nature, just by studying how their brain prepares to move a muscle.
Moran's colleague, Thomas Pearce, says he realized this when he noticed that the two monkeys were using very different strategies to play the video game.
THOMAS PEARCE: It completely matched with the personalities that the monkeys have.
HAMIILTON: Pearce says one monkey is impulsive and hyper; the other is more patient and thoughtful.
PEARCE: The patient monkey waited until all the information was known to him, in order to form that plan. The impatient monkey, on the other hand, planned on moving straight to the target as soon as the target showed up on the screen; and only later, would change his plan if the obstacle got in the way.
HAMIILTON: It may seem odd to think that the brain cells involved in extending an arm could reveal something about an individual's personality. But Krishna Shenoy, at Stanford, says that's not a crazy idea. He says the brain tends to use the same approach for high-level tasks, as for simple ones.
SHENOY: So is the strategy you might adopt in reaching, somehow reflective of the strategy you might adopt when making an investment or choosing a purchase, or deciding whom to marry?
HAMIILTON: Or, if you're Michael Phelps, winning a 15th gold medal. Jon Hamilton, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

Gear Review - MINOX HG 10x52
When new hunters begin their long learning adventure into hunting one of their first questions is how much should I spend on binoculars and then most experienced hunters reply "as much as you can afford." Most new hunters do not understand why you would spend as much or more money on binoculars then your rifle but then quickly an epiphoney happens when glassing mountain sides for hours and you have a pounding headache. Another important consideration is that most game activity happens around dawn and dusk in low light conditions, conditions cheap optics do not perform well in. Trust me I have been through this experiment using compact $25 tasco binoculars then trying mid range 8 power and 10 power optics which where definately an improvement.
My set of 10x52mm Minox HG binoculars.
I finally said I was going to get a good set of binoculars so I started doing some more research. I did not have 2000+ dollars to drop on a set of the obvious big 3 choices of high end optics like Zeiss Victory, Swarosvki, and Leica. I read an article comparing some mid range optics to the big 3 and the Minox HG binoculars where rated just behing the big 3 here: www.24hourcampfire.com/8x42.html. The price of the Minox HG was almost half the price with almost as good performance. I thought it warranted a try. Mind you, the Minox HG were using bigger objective lenses which adds to their light gathering ability.
I ordered a pair for a smoking deal from www.cameralandny.com, they have a limited run of the made in Japan, Germen design binoculars. Now the same bino's are being made in Germany for a higher price. I phoned the fine people at cameralandny.com and they offered great advice saying that the Minox HG's are the most under rated binoculars on the market and that I would be unhappy with the Bushnell Elite binoculars compared to the Minox HG. There was a 30 day no questions asked full refund offered and a lifetime Minox warranty. So I ordered these fine optics with some peice of mind.
As soon as I my 10x52 Minox HG binoculars I began spending some time through the glass. I noticed that the images where exceptionally crisp and clear. I took these on a spring grizzly hunt and noticed that the binoculars where very impressive during low light conditions. I am very impressed so far and I have not had any headaches from long periods of glassing. These will do great on my next alpine hunt.

If you know (or you think) that your ancestors were from Benestare, you could find info about your Italian family at Registrar of Vital Statistics in the City Office or at the parishes.
Registry offices in Calabria and in Reggio Calabria province were established in early 1800: it means that you could find information in Benestare registrar as of that date.
Before to start your genealogy research in Benestare, we suggest you to read our tips for your search . They are useful to search in Italy and in Benestare too.
In the next picture you can see the demographic trends in Benestare from the Italian Unification (1861).
It could be important to know if the last name you are investigating is a frequent surname in Benestare. As more your surname is common in Benestare, as more it could be difficult to find the right info about your ancestors in Benestare archives if you have not exact dates.
It could be useful for you to know that some of the most common surnames in Reggio Calabria province are:
Agostino, Albanese, Barbaro, Barreca, Battaglia, Calabrò, Carbone, Caridi, Catalano, Chirico, Commisso, Costantino, Crea, D'Agostino, Ferraro, Foti, Giordano, Iaria, Labate, Laganà, Latella, Lombardo, Longo, Macrì, Malara, Marino, Marra, Martino, Minniti, Modafferi, Morabito, Musolino, Napoli, Neri, Nucera, Panetta, Polimeni, Quattrone, Raso, Romeo, Russo, Scopelliti, Sergi, Siclari, Spanò, Surace, Tripodi, Zappia.
Church archives in Reggio Calabria province may instead contain even older information, but they are far less accessible from abroad (and almost impossible by email).
Then,parishes send information not easily.
If you have the opportunity to visit Benestare and Reggio Calabria province, you could plan to investigate churches' archives by yourself, but from abroad is very difficult to obtain any result unless you find a reliable local help.
Another important source of information is the "Archivio di Stato" (National archive) in Reggio Calabria.
In any case, never give up! Probably the distance from your country and Italy, some difficulties in understanding and in translation, could complicate your search but this should not discourage you.
It's important to plan your activities to carry on with simple goals (eg. search for a single date of birth, the name of an ancestor, the date of a marriage, etc.)
If you want to discuss with other people interested in genealogy research in Benestare, or if you have questions regarding your family in Benestare, just leave a message below
If your research is in a dead end and you need some professional advices from skilled and reliable Italian genealogists write to firstname.lastname@example.com .
Our expert in Benestare area will reply to you

Congratulations girls! Please send me an email and the Cake Lifters will be on your way soon!
And now a couple more things:
Shreya from Mom's Cooking tagged me for a meme. The rule was to pick up the nearest book, open to page 123, find the 5th sentence and post the next three sentences. The nearest book I had was Ben & Jerry's Homemade Ice cream & Dessert Book (aren't you surprised that my nearest book was food related?). I opened it on page 123 but there was no text there, it's just the begining of the Drinks's chapter. I wonder why I feel like having a milkshake now?!Also the sweet Lori (aka The Recipe Girl) gave me the Arte y Pico award! Thank you so much Lori! I'll pass it to 2 girls that have wondeful blogs : Mandy from Fresh from the Oven and Alexandra from Addicted Sweet Tooth!
And what do you say about my haircut? I just had it cut this morning and I'm still getting used to it. I've cut 25 cm (10 inches) that I'll be happy to send to Locks of Love. If you don't know about this wonderful organization please go check it out!
I'll be back with a recipe soon!

A native of Northampton, Massachusetts, Benjamin Smith Lyman was a prominent geologist and mining engineer. At the request of the Meiji government in Japan, Lyman helped introduce modern geological surveying and mining techniques during the 1870s and 1880s, and his papers from that period illuminate aspects of late nineteenth century Japan, New England, and Pennsylvania, as well as the fields of geology and mining exploration and engineering. From his earliest financial records kept as a student at Phillips Exeter Academy through the journal notations of his later days in Philadelphia, Lyman's meticulous record-keeping provides much detail about his life and work. Correspondents include his classmate, Franklin B. Sanborn, a friend of the Concord Transcendentalists and an active social reformer, abolitionist, and editor.
The papers, 1848-1911, have been organized into nine series: correspondence, financial records, writings, survey notebooks, survey maps, photographs, student notes and notebooks, collections, and miscellaneous (total 25 linear feet). A separate Lyman collection includes over 2,000 books in Japanese and Chinese acquired by Lyman, and in Western languages pertaining to Asia.

(Scroll down for several updates and the document prosecutors filed today.)
Federal prosecutors in Charleston, W.Va., have filed the most serious criminal charges yet in the April, 2010, coal mine explosion that left 29 mine workers dead.
The conspiracy charges reach into the management ranks of Massey Energy and signal an effort to seek evidence against higher-level executives.
A "criminal information" accuses Gary May, a former superintendent of Massey's Upper Big Branch coal mine, of conspiring "with others known and unknown" to "hamper, hinder, impede, and obstruct the lawful enforcement ... of mine health and safety laws" at the mine.
As a superintendent, May was one of two top Massey managers at the mine and was responsible for day to day operations for portions of Upper Big Branch. He took on the superintendent's job five months before the explosion, which multiple investigations have blamed on numerous safety failures. The specific allegations against May include:
-- Warning miners underground with "code phrases" when federal regulators arrived for surprise safety inspections, leading to concealment of violations.
-- Falsifying "examination record books" at the mine, which identify safety problems, provide notice to federal inspectors and list needed fixes.
-- Deliberately altering the air flow underground when federal safety inspectors arrived "in order to conceal and cover up the quantity of air that normally reached that area of the mine."
-- Disabling a malfunctioning methane monitor on a mining machine "allowing the continuous mining machine to be operated for several hours without a functioning methane monitor."
Prosecutors do not directly link any of these allegations with the explosion two years ago, which was the worst mine disaster in the United States in 40 years. Instead, they suggest an alleged pattern of behavior that put production over safety and placed miners at risk.
"Mine safety and health laws were routinely violated" at Upper Big Branch, the charging document says, "in part because of a belief that following those laws would decrease coal production."
May is the most senior mining company official charged criminally in a mine disaster in at least 10 years. The conspiracy charges are part of a rare if not unprecedented strategy to seek charges against higher level managers and executives at Massey Energy.
Using a "criminal information" document for charges bypasses a federal grand jury and indicates the defendant has accepted a plea agreement and is ready to testify against others.
Documents released in earlier investigative reports about the tragedy show that the mine was micro-managed by senior Massey officials, including former CEO Don Blankenship. The internal company records and Blankenship's own deposition in another case describe the tracking of coal production minute by minute and foot by foot.
May is the third former Massey employee charged in an ongoing federal criminal probe.
Hughie Stover, a former security chief at the Upper Big Branch mine, was convicted in October of attempting to destroy evidence and lying to investigators about the practice of warning miners when federal regulators arrived for surprise inspections. Stover is scheduled for sentencing next week and prosecutors say they want a 25-year jail term, which is close to four times the term calculated in federal sentencing guidelines.
Last April, former mine foreman Thomas Harrah pleaded guilty to faking his official credentials and then lying about that to investigators.
The methane monitor incident involving May was first reported and documented by NPR. A number of witnesses told NPR that a few months before the explosion, May ordered an electrician to disable the device, which is used to detect explosive levels of the gas.
Methane occurs naturally in coal mines and the monitors shut down mining machines before they can spark an explosion. Operating a mining machine without a working monitor is illegal and puts miners at risk.
The April 5, 2010, explosion was sparked by a different mining machine in another part of the mine.
Prosecutors say May faces as much as five years in prison if convicted but they won't discuss any possible plea agreement or whom else their investigation targets.
Massey Energy was purchased by Alpha Natural Resources last year.
Update at 3:30 p.m. ET. The Important Distinction Between "Criminal Information" And An Indictment:
Later today on All Things Considered we'll have more. One important point: It's clear that prosecutors are looking beyond Gary May because they filed charges in what is called a criminal information and not an indictment. Former federal prosecutor David Uhlmann says a defendant "would wave indictment if he or she were going to cooperate with prosecutors and testify against other individuals. That almost always means officials who are higher up within the company."
U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin hints at a plea agreement and cooperation. "Without commenting specifically on this case," he says, "I can tell you that a defendant can only be charged by information if he agrees to waive his constitutional right to indictment. And information typically indicates that an agreement has been reached with the defendant and that he's cooperating with the government's investigation."
That's welcome news to Gary Quarles, whose son Gary Wayne died in the Upper Big Branch explosion. "I think it's past time for them to put people like this in jail," he says. "I hope [May] can talk and maybe get some more people that's involved in this ... [and] put some of them in jail. That's what I want."
Update at 11:45 a.m. ET. More Analysis:
Ken Ward of The Charleston Gazette writes on his Coal Tattoo blog about the significant role May played at Massey Energy and says that "as best I can tell, the last time a coal-mining disaster criminal probe got anywhere near charges against a mine superintendent, it was after the deaths of eight workers at Southmountain Coal Co. in Virginia back in 1992."
Update at 9:45 a.m. ET. The Court Document:
We've posted a copy of the document filed in court today by the U.S. Attorney. You can see it here or in the box below. Just click on the headline "Charging Document" to pop up a larger version.
May, from Bloomingrose, W.Va., is 43-years-old. If convicted, he faces a possible jail sentence of five years.
This is ALL THINGS CONSIDERED from NPR News. I'm Melissa Block.
And I'm Audie Cornish. Federal prosecutors filed conspiracy charges today stemming from the explosion that killed 29 coal miners two years ago. Prosecutors say a top official from the Upper Big Branch mine in West Virginia tricked regulators into believing the mine was safe when it wasn't. He's charged with conspiring to defraud the federal government. And as NPR's Howard Berkes reports, there may be more charges to come.
HOWARD BERKES, BYLINE: Forty-three-year-old Gary May was one of two superintendents at Massey Energy's Upper Big Branch mine, and prosecutors say he thwarted surprise federal safety inspections, falsified safety records, deceived federal inspectors and ordered a dangerous act: the disabling of a monitor that detects explosive levels of methane gas. That was in February 2010. And mine worker Ricky Lee Campbell watched as May told an electrician to disable the methane detector.
RICKY LEE CAMPBELL: He knew it was dangerous. He knew he shouldn't have been doing it. But when somebody higher up telling you to do something, you're going to do what they say.
BERKES: The detector malfunctioned and kept shutting down a mining machine cutting coal. Instead of waiting a couple of hours for a new detector, May had it jerry-rigged so mining could continue. That risked an ignition of methane gas and the kind of explosion that took place less than three months later. The incident illustrates Massey Energy's management, and the charges are aimed at that, says Davitt McAteer, who conducted an independent investigation of the tragedy.
DAVITT MCATEER: The issue has to be what was going on in this mine that led to the conditions that caused the explosion, and that was a management role, and this looks at that question very carefully.
BERKES: It's also clear that prosecutors are looking beyond Gary May because they filed charges in what is called a criminal information and not an indictment. David Uhlmann is a former federal prosecutor.
DAVID UHLMANN: The defendant would waive indictment if he or she was going to cooperate with prosecutors and testify against other individuals. That almost always means officials who are higher up within the company.
BERKES: U.S. Attorney Booth Goodwin hints that that is, in fact, the case.
BOOTH GOODWIN: Without commenting specifically on this case, I can tell you that a defendant can only be charged by information if he agrees to waive his constitutional right to indictment. And information typically indicates that an agreement has been reached with the defendant and that he's cooperating with the government's investigation.
BERKES: And that is welcome news to Gary Quarles, whose son Gary Wayne died in the Upper Big Branch explosion.
GARY QUARLES: I think it's past time for them to put people like this in jail. I hope he can talk and maybe get some more people that's involved in this, that they can put some of them in jail. That's what I want.
BERKES: And that's rare in mine disasters. Few people ever go to jail. In fact, Gary May, a mine superintendent, is the highest-ranking mine official charged in a disaster in 20 years. Neither May nor his attorney responded to NPR's requests for comment. Howard Berkes, NPR News. Transcript provided by NPR, Copyright NPR.

A look at charitable giving
Today, I heard on the radio that following "Black Friday" and "Cyber Monday," the next day has been dubbed "Giving Tuesday." The idea is that organizations will encourage people to give during this Christmas season and businesses will support this idea. Charity is a wonderful thing. I wish I had my hands on some statistics though. I didn't shop on Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Do I get a pass on Giving Tuesday?
My understanding is that America is the most giving country in the world. I happen to know, from my own experience, that we are constantly asked to support causes. Most of them are legitimate and helpful charity organizations. I often receive five or more solicitations in a single day. Often, I'm sent return address labels as a gift for my participation. Lately the trend is to find a nickel or a dime or even a check for $2.50, which we can cash or return with our donation. I've never tried to cash one of them, but they seem to be real. I just don't much like the guilt process of fund raising, no matter what the cause.
I believe in giving, but I don't think it's fair if one charity passes my name and address on to another. I have, in the past, given to schools that harbor needy Native American children. Now I get requests to support more of these schools than I know about. I suspect that they share my name. I called one of these schools once to ask for a financial report. My call was rerouted and eventually, I was at the end of a dead phone line. I was cut off. Maybe that was the result of a solar flare or some other anomaly. So I wrote to that school and explained to the kind cleric who runs the school, I guess as a part of his religious vocation. I explained that, while I had given to this school on a number of occasions, I would not be sending any additional money their way until I got some kind of financial report. Apparently the response to my letter got lost in the mail.
I have another complaint. Some of the charities pay their executives millions of dollars. I happen to know that anybody can live on much less than two or three million dollars a year. I just don't think that people managing charitable giving should be earning such a salary. I understand they might be good at their job. That's impressive, and I would not object to a plaque that acknowledges their self-sacrifice, but I'm afraid that's as far as I can go with that idea.
We have to be so careful. Even in disaster relief, one always hears about scams in which someone out there has devised a scheme to "get rich quickly" under the guise of raising money to help with one disaster relief or another. This is a despicable way to take advantage of people who are willing to help. We're getting smarter about who we give our money to, but it's no secret that many well-meaning elderly people have lost their life savings to ill considered investments.
Helping those around us that we know need help is one way to avoid falling into the abuse of disreputable organizations or individuals who would use money intended for those in real and severe need to provide their own luxury.
I'm not suggesting that we never give; we just need to be really careful about where we send money. We have to do our homework and make sure that the charities we give to are actually serving the cause they so proudly boast. Just because an organization is widely known, that doesn't mean that they're handling our money in the best possible way. We know that even churches have, at times, used money intended to help the needy to embellish the lifestyle of individuals who are supposedly serving.
I know that there are many people in the world who need help, and I'm happy to do my part. But I don't care to be ambushed on street corners or by felonious mailings that will never put my money to help those in need.
"Giving Tuesday" is sort of a gimmick. Most people who are serious "givers" donate the year round. I actually believe that the majority of people would be more than happy to have the resources to give to those in need. The church is a great example of what it means to be a giver. Church members are encouraged to give a percentage of their income every month. I don't know that it needs to be regulated. Individuals know what they can afford to give. At some point we just have to rely on the goodness of people and trust that we are all doing our part. I'm not naïve. I know that some people don't give at all. Others don't have the resources to give monetarily, but do their part by volunteer work and other methods of helping those in need. Many people respond to crises that occur, particularly when natural disaster hits. We will truly be missing the mark if we respond only to commercial-like events tied to "Black Friday," "Cyber Tuesday" or "Giving Tuesday."

The sounds of revving engines could be heard on the lake this past weekend, as number upon numbers of spectators gathered at Bagnell Dam to watch the first-ever 2013 Lake Race, a two-day racing event held above Bagnell Dam.
After a week of parties and meet-and-greets, the racers were finally able to hit the waters on Saturday to get the competition underway.
Spectators gathered around the course on boats or on land, with a number of fans watching from Bagnell Dam, which had been closed off to allow spectators to view, the first time it had ever been done for an event like this.
All the boats competed on the same rectangular-shaped, OSS-approved on-water race course, which spans from the 0 to 4 mile marker of the main channel.
The Offshore Super Series (OSS)-sanctioned national powerboat race featured a number of different race classes, which all began on Saturday with the first Pontoon Boat Exhibition Race, sponsored by Playcraft Pontoon. Terry Kuchenberg of Midwest Boats Sales & Repair won the event with his Playcraft pontoon.
Afterwards, three separate boat divisions followed, concluding with the Performance PX class boats that reach up to 150 miles per hour.
After Sunday morning's showers, the skies cleared up to give the racers a chance to strut their stuff once again.
Macks Creek's Bob Bull and Randy Scism of CMS Offshore Racing seared past the competition to snag a first place win at Lake Race 2013, in his 48′ MTI cat in the Open / Extreme Performance Class.
Team FastBoats also took home a couple accolades, winning 2 spots on the awards stand for their 40' MTI Cat, which finished third in the Open/Extreme Performance Class and second in the Pro-Am 1 class. The Batman team from Sunrise Beach took first in the Pro-Am 1 class.
The Second Amendment team from Sebastian, Florida brought home first place in the Pro-Am 2 class.
The Pro-Am 4 class was won by the Apex Manufacturing and Design team from Southwest Missouri.
In the Super-Stock class, Talbot Excavating clinched a first-place win.
Whether it be the crane loading and unloading boats or the daredevil antics as the boats whizzed around the course, one thing was for certain: the Lake Race kept spectators on the edge of their seats.

I broke down and after much gnashing of teeth, picked a winner (for me) on the whole smartphone thing. That's right, it's a G1 / Android device.
--- Why G1 ---
In short - the plans are cheaper, the phones are cheaper, and the hack factor is much, much higher. Give it a few hours of tweaking, and it's better than any of the other phones out there (or heck, within the next year or two, ie this upgrade cycle).
The contenders, in my opinion, are T-Mobile + G1, Sprint + Pre, and AT&T + Iphone.
Plan costs - Pretty much all the carriers have a $40 basic voice plan. Here's how it adds up.
T-Mo: $40+$25(data) (includes 400 messages)
Sprint: ??? (Most likely the 'Everything Data 450), includes unlimited SMS
AT&T: 40+$30(data)+$5(400 SMS)
This presumes that you're not getting a discount, or some sort of grandfathering :P, so real costs can be lower. YMMV. AFAIK, AT&T is least amenable to grandfathering for iphone. (Yes, the G1 can use non-G1 data plans with a simple APN switch).
Then there's device cost. Let's call it identical, for now, except the iPhone is stuck with 16gb while the other two devices can use 32gb sdmicro cards when those come out. (Yes, wait for WWDC, blahblahblah)
There's the interface concerns. While there's a multi-page thread in the soapbox regarding the benefits and drawbacks of multitasking, I'll just have to report that multitasking WORKS NOW. I had a podcast fired up, a IM service in the background, and was navigating using telenav on my G1. (May be possible on iPhone ... eventually). That being said, Android 1.5 is as slick as the iPhone once you learn the interface. A touch slower, though, but way faster than what I was using before.
We can look at cloud services.
I do like the idea of the Pre. I do. But I haven't heard much about their service model. And 'cloud' links already exist on the iPhone (mobile.me / google) and G1 (google). And I've already had my 'cloud' set up with Google (after they implemented their exchange functionality). I doubt that I'll give up all of the google apps just for a mobile device. So, no Pre.
And finally, hack factor. Sure, Cydia exists. But they're fighting Apple, tooth and claw. Meanwhile, the G1 is open source. Heck, there's a public release of Cupcake months before it came out. And you can tweak things quite a bit.
Therefore, for me, G1 wins. Cheapest, most hackable, most potential. What pushed me over the edge? Android 1.5. The (cup)cake is not a lie.
--- Getting it set up / Must Have Apps ---
So, I picked it up. First things first. Get this piece of junk from T-Mobile up to specs.
It came with the RC30 firmware out of the box. No on screen keyboard, not rooted so no tethering...
Well, after some initial playing, the only solution is to go to http://wiki.xda-developers.com...p?pagename=HTC_Dream and read all about it.
Namely, this page.
In short:
Step 1: Downgrade to RC29
Step 2: Type in some commands to root the system
Step 3: Upgrade bootloader
Step 4: Install Cupcake.
There, a usable system. If you can read ars and contribute content, you can fix the problems and get something modern.
Anyways, must have apps.
TuneWiki (replaces the crappy default player)
ACast (podcast manager)
AndNav2 (work in progress)
Telenav GPS (pay, monthly fee .. but it works.)
Shopsavvy - Price checker
Wikimobile - simplified wikipedia interface
Weatherbug - weather app
Wifi Tethering for Root Users - Enough said. It works pretty well, too.
Locate - Pure awesomeness. Your phone can 'learn' where you are/what you are doing, and then change configuration appropriately. No more turning the phone to silent when you are at work. Or at home. Etc.
fIRC chat
Anyways, that's me with the new toy to date. Still need to get a bigger sdmicro card (16gb on order), a silicone skin for it (got a screen protector already), a audio breakout cable for car use (right now I have a usb>3.5mm jack, but I'd like to charge + sound so that I can use it constantly), and get some more utilities for it.
In particular:
Better camera app .. I like some sort of control for exposure, no 'click' sound, etc.
Notetaking app (and maybe twitter clients?) - still need recommends for one that will tweet for 'public' notes versus 'private' notes. Bonus if it can take voice notes and automatically transcribe them.
What I'd like to see more of (and is coming soon, I hope).
Offline GPS. TomTom has spoiled me completely with their WM app. I'd love an android port. (TeleNav requires internets)
More Widgets. Cupcake supports widgets on homescreen, i'd love to have a twitter widget, or a weather widget, etc.
Better gesture commands. Especially in the Browser. I do like the iPhone / Mobile Safari tab management, and I don't have that on android. However, I really hate the 'display the page intact' bit. I miss the ability of Opera for Mobiles to rewrite pages into single column layouts. .. Oh wai, there's a beta out!
I'll have to get back to you on that last bit.
Anyways, questions / comments / news, lmk.
Detailed Rooting Instructions. (7-15-09) Be sure to have the following handy.
Android SDK
Updated Radio
Updated Recovery Image
Updated Firmware (I linked Cyanogen's)
(Optional) Linux CD for partitioning.
SD Card (Perferrably 8+gb, Class 6) $50 @ Newegg
(Optional) SD Reader for your system
USB Cable
Follow these instructions:
(You can reboot the device by pressing call-menu-hangup, or by removing the battery)
Reformat your SD Card w/ a FAT32 partition, and a EXT3 partition. If you're using a linux CD, 'gparted' is a good program to do so. You can do this by mounting the SD Card from the phone, or via a seperate USB > SD adapter.
Put the RC29 image (DREAMING.nbh) onto the SD Card. Also, copy HardSPL (renamed to update.zip if not so already) and the recovery image (rename it something you can type easily with a .img extension) onto the card as well.
Reboot the device. Hold the camera button when it reboots. You should see on-screen instructions on how to flash your phone at this point. Make sure you have plenty of battery power. Press the power(hangup) button to start this. DO NOT INTERRUPT THIS.
Once you are on the homescreen, type in telnetd and hit enter.
Connect to the market, and download a telnet app and connect to localhost.
Once you are in localhost, type in the following. (# is the prompt)
# mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system
# cd sdcard
# flash_image recovery recovery.img
# cat recovery.img > /system/recovery.img
Once this is done, reboot the phone. Hold down the home button while rebooting to enter the recovery image. Now we apply several updates. Wipe your phone before the first update
HardSPL (should be on your SD card already)
Updated Radio
New firmware
A easy way to do this is to have the phone connected, and use the following dos commands. CD to your SDK directory, the 'tools' directory. Then, when you are ready to do an update, type in 'adb push (update name) /sdcard/update.zip'
I believe that is only 200 SMS for $5 and $20 for unlimited
I just recently got a G1 myself and I'm very happy with it. I've had a blackberry from work for a couple of years but it's always an older model. If I could get exchange to work with my G1, I would drop my blackberry in a heartbeat. The first app I got for the G1 was ChompSMS. I like it better than the included messaging app, especially with the built in keyboard and it now supports MMS.
I also installed PhoneFusion Voicemail+ and I like it so far. Oh yeah, if you like music, Shazam is a must. Unfortunately in my area I don't have 3G service so I'm stuck with EDGE for now. We're supposed to get it sometime in July I believe. I can't wait!
Interesting thread. I have been using an iphone since shortly after it was released, and really have enjoyed it. Though since the G1 release, it has definitely had my eye.
I was planning to make the pre my next phone, but once I found out you had to have one of the "everything" plans with sprint, I realized that was not the phone for me, at least for now. I am not paying $100 a month just for my line, when I have a family plan for that with tmobile.
So the other day I decided to try out the G1. I didnt want to get it from tmobile and get in a contract again, so I picked one up off craigslist for $150.
I have to say, from a longtime iphone user, I am REALLY impressed, in fact, I like the phone more than the iphone, which I gave to my wife with no regrets.
I can see how people would not like the G1 compared to the iphone and be dissapointed. Right away my wife said "yuck, it looks like linux", haha.
This is not a phone for the average joe. It is a total POS compared to the iphone in the "polish" category, but if you are the tinkerer type who loves to mess with stuff, and don't care about how "flashy" things are, you will love this phone.
My biggest concern, of course, was battery life, which I have found to be a big non issue. As long as I close out apps, and don't multitask like crazy, the battery life seems comparable to the iphone. Best thing to do is always back out of apps you dont want to remain open, and also use something like task switcher to see what is open.
I have the $35 data plan, and it has been pretty good, I have 3G everywhere I go where I live, and I routinely can do things like stream audio while I drive around...goodbye satellite.
Glad to see this thread, and I can't wait for the cupcake update. I plan to patiently wait, but if it gets to be too long I will probably root it.
Nation 450 w/ Rollover, $39.99, Data Plan for iPhone, $30, iPhone Text Messaging (200), $5.
According to AT&T's site about a minute ago.
I'll wait until grandcentral/Google Voice :P .. Installing chompsms, though. ... it crashes in Android 1.5
Not after you play put on Android 1.5. :P I compared it to iPhone and believe once you tweak it out, it's better than iPhone. Even in the 'polish' category.
You just need your own wax. Also .. $35 data plan? It's $25 by default on t-mo afaik. (I have a cheaper legacy data plan)
I just got a G1 as well. Here are the apps I'm currently using:
Twitroid (twitter client)
Touchdown (MS Exchange client)
Shazam (music identification)
Astrid (todo list)
cab4me (finds you a cab)
connectbot (ssh client)
Yi: going to run android 1.5?
I hate you guys, but only until tomorrow when mine is supposed to arrive.
Right. Default data is 25, but I pay 35 for the data and unlimited text. Sad part is I ran with the $6 tzones getting full internet for years. I finally had to give it up
By the way I just posted this from the g1, and it sure handles posting to forums a lot better
Heh, I have the business plan 600, which comes with 400 messages of any type.
I'm not sure about battery life, until my multifunction (charge + audio) connection arrives, it seems that my drive in w/ nav and podcasts going sucks up about 15% of the battery life. Which is pretty meh. I'll need to put a charger at my desk at work, at this rate.
The $6 t-zones might have worked if you played with your APN. Maybe.
Also, looks like Android will be getting Opera for Mobiles 9.5, but it's not on the beta page yet.
the APN thing did not work, Tmobile is now actively looking for G1's that aren't on the G1 dataplan, and cutting off data. I was able to get the phone to activate with the tzones plan, but then it stopped working. Then if I turned off/on the phone it work work for about 10 sec, and then I would be notified again about the dataplan not being right.
I was a little irked, simply because they want $5 more a month over the other data plan, "just because", but I realized for the $35 plan, unlimited text is $15 and then the data plan normally is $20
Hrm, well works fine here ($20 vpn plan) with the old APN. I'll report if it fails.
well i have read that the unlimited data works for the most part, but some has cited issues i figured i might as well pay the 35, and get unlimited text since once in a while i go over 1000, and thatb way i have no issues.
any advice on where to get the files for a downgrade to RC29? I have the cupcake upgrade file, but none of the other stuff. All the links I have found have been dead.
I very much enjoy syncing my contacts with Outlook as opposed to the "cloud". I am also wondering when the phone will get ALL of the bluetooth profiles that My Nokia E71 has available to it by default. Once it gets all of those I may purchase one. Looks interesting.
Though I buy everything unlocked for use with ATT. That way, I can get the $15 unlimited data plan.
T-Zones: 5.99
Total including taxes and fees: $13.17.
Sharing a $70.00 family plan, so need to add $35.00+tax to that.
Still, the 5.99 T-Zones unlimited internet makes it very affordable I think. I don't think the "it's cheaper" argument works, especially if the T-Zones unlimited internet doesn't work with the G1!
Also, if you unlock the iPhone how is it less hackable than the G1?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com...me=HTC_Dream_Rooting (in the OP) .. links are live there. (Was in the OP :P)
G1 will be EDGE only on ATT.
You can't get at kernel level stuff. (Wifi tethering is way cool). You also are limited to working with apple's dev framework, versus basically having the entire range of linux tools at your disposal.
Love my G1. Patiently awaiting the Cupcake OTA update. I haven't rooted so far, but I eventually will.
Essential apps:
Locale (enough ink has been spilled over its sheer awesomeness)
T-Mobile My Account (should have come preinstalled)
ShopSavvy (the original G1 killer app)
DopeWars (it's not a serious mobile devices until it runs Dope Wars)
dgMoney (I require a decent checkbook app in every phone I get(
Shake Awake (A quick shake wakes up the phone when it goes to sleep during a phone call)
Thanks for the link .milfox. Way better than all the video tutorials out there. I was just looking for a simple instruction set, and this is it.
Has anyone noticed that if their G1 is in airplane mode, that it won't charge? I like to put my phones in airplane mode at night next to my bed so I don't get calls/email/texts, but leave them on so I don't have to start them up in the morning
Also, from what I have been reading, there has not been any official word from tmobile US as to when they are actually releasing cupcake OTA.
Better off reflashing your own 1.5 (I use JF, it seems the best supported + has an autoupdate util), since if you root it, odds are you'll want a kernel that will support ip forwarding (the stock HTC one doesn't) which will need a non-HTC firmware anyways.
Also, I just checked, my G1 does charge in airplane mode. Having BT + 3G + Wifi + navi + music sucks down power like mad. I think if I did that without a charger setup, I'd only get 3 hours of use, tops.
Sounds like Windows Mobile. :P
I'd add the HTC Touch Pro.
Since it's open source, I'm surprised someone hasn't already disabled the click sound.
I'm guessing T-Mobile re-opened port 80 on T-Zones after I left.
How old is your G1?
My battery issues disappeared after about a month.
I was pondering a WM 6.5 phone, but the Fuze/Touch Pro were more expensive and had worse UIs (even after all tweaking was done .. I still have a HTC Wizard to play with if I want to screw with WM). And I checked my apps, pretty much all of them had replacements in Android.
I haven't found an app yet, but :P I'm looking. I wouldn't mind exposure controls as well. Oh, and free upload-to-flickr.
About 4 days old :P
I found a nice replacement camera app, 'SnapPhoto', which has a slew more settings (including a tilt sensor based anti-shudder).
On other news, I had to switch to the $25 data plan. OTOH, I get more voice minutes now. Not quite worth it, but :shrug:. Also, battery life definitely isn't so hot if you're multitasking.
upgraded to cupcake(thanks for the links), and the update is really nice. The onscreen keyboard is ok, but I wish it had autocorrection like the iphone, but surely that is "patented" by apple or some such, just like the lack of multitouch.
I did notice they fixed the airplane mode charging bug in 1.5
Which 1.5 build are you running? JF? The official HTC?
Does cupcake add any other BT profiles that aren't there to begin with? Only headset support is craptastical.
A2DP & AVRCP for now, afaik. More to come.
Cute app of the day (and a definite keeper) is the Tricorder app.
TNG style readout of the phone's sensors for wifi sniffing, position (lat and lon), and accelerometers. If I was going to tomorrow's movie, I'd definitely have it and be the envy of all the geeks there :P
Received cupcake OTA this morning!
biggest surprise although i knew it was coming: it's in dutch now!
no autorotate though :-(
So last night I was going to charge my phone in my bedroom with the plug in charger. Wait, what's this?! The charger is Mini-B USB and not the damn ExtUSB. Is this some kind of cruel joke, a screw up or am I overlooking something?
Other than that, I love the phone so far and really hope I catch up on my work by the time they send out 1.5('tis official now, late next week)
Settings / Sound&Display / Orientation, it's the checkbox for turning on 'switch orientation automatically when rotating phone'. Off by default.
ExtUSB is a superset of miniUSB. miniUSB plugs work just fine in the ExtUSB jack.
I couldn't wait any longer and rooted my phone, installed the JF 1.5 build.
I guess the version string for that build is preventing T-Mobile pushing the MyFaves app my way? Cause I don't have it anymore.
Where are you located, Netherlands?
Question for the people who already have Cupcake.. did they fix the retarded in-call screen with the drawer keypad?
and no, in-call keypad still with tab drawer. not a very big issue to me though.
too bad autorotate doesnt function with the homescreen. why?
also the blurring in between looks a bit shoddy, fading would've been better imo.
Played around with My Tracks. It worked perfectly for letting me figure out exactly how long it takes for me to ride to school along with speed and altitude changes.
I thought in 1.5 you could control your audioplayer (play stop next previous) from the notifications screen?
other than that, pretty satisfied with this android release. Now my G1 really feels more advanced than the iphone :-)
.milFox, ChompSMS is now cupcake compatible, give it a whirl, you might like it!

We now have the awesome ability to access trillions and trillions of bytes of data floating around the wires whether at work or home.
That impressive access to information carries with it some serious consequences, however.
The situation: You're sitting around the table, hotly debating with friends whether a grizzly bear can grow taller than 10 feet. Luckily, you've got your Android on hand, and in just a few clicks you'll soon have the answer.
Unfortunately, as you're punching "grizzly bear height" into your smartphone's search bar, you notice the little red email light blinking. While Wikipedia loads and everyone waits for the answer, you click over to your email and realize that it's an "URGENT" work message. Everyone patiently awaits your illuminating bear-height battle answer, but soon it's clear that you're distracted - an awkward silence descends over the table.
Just by casually searching for the answer to a banal debate with your dinner guests, you've shattered the infamous work-life balance. That connection, that side effect of the consumerization of IT, has inserted itself in your life. How do you prevent it?
Step back and honestly consider the following question: Short of something involving giant flames, are there any issues that can't be solved if you're off the grid for just a couple of hours? Again, answer honestly. (Sometimes our want of self-importance can blur that rationale.)
The answer is very likely "no." That means you can drop off for a few hours now and again to play with your kids, have dinner with friends or watch a movie.
Another simple suggestion: turn the phone off - not to silent but off. If it's only silenced, you will still check your email (you know this). Leave your phone in the car or in your bedroom. Get it out of reach and live a normal life for a while. Many people react to this advice with, "Yeah, wish I could." Again, an honest examination is in order.
After a couple of hours, check in quickly to make sure your office isn't engulfed in flames and then go back to normal life again.
Many people haven't taken the time to explore their smartphone's settings; a couple that may appear trivial can add up to big points in the game of keeping sane.
1) Profiles. Any decent phone will have the tools to set up different application availability, rings and notifications depending on the set profile.
Set up your "home" profile. Turn off the notification lights, make sure you are only viewing your personal emails and set everything else (texts, emails, picture messages), except the ring - the communication method your team would use in a real emergency - to silent.
2) Folders. One can easily bucket their applications (work applications like Dropbox versus home applications like Yelp) and, with most phones, their email inboxes. Separate your professional and personal email inboxes; it's a much-needed division. And don't use the "but two inboxes are inefficient" excuse. Like strenuous exercising, it's a discomfort in the name of (mental) health.
he bottom line is that to maintain that work-life balance, you will ultimately need to focus on your team and staff. How they react during IT disasters or other major events that would draw you away from the dinner table is the bedrock of maintaining that sanity.
For better or for worse, the devices we have are only going to get better at keeping everyone connected; and, more often then not, the people that need to get in touch with you, will find a way. Head them off at the pass. No one would say: "Don't have business issues." But do have a proper hierarchy for dealing with them. Deciding to send a massive email with a red exclamation point is not a solution - that's a stopgap. Work with your team so that everyone knows what to do if a server crashes or email security has been breached.
With specified and practiced measures in place, then you don't have to worry about turning your phone off in the first place. You can check Wikipedia during dinner without worry and find out that, no, grizzly bears rarely break eight feet in height. (However, Kodiaks, a subspecies specific to Alaska with which grizzlies are often confused, grow ten feet tall regularly. Yikes!)

Audio files of Julia Goldberg and Honey Harris interviewing candidates for mayor on KBAC are below SFR's endorsement for mayor. Video footage of SFR's endorsement interviews in all contested races is located at the bottom of the page.
SFR Pick: David Coss
In its endorsements for the March 2 city election, The Santa Fe New Mexican noted the small field of candidates in this year's races coupled with the gloomy economy, and concluded this year's winners likely face several miserable years of governing.
That's one way of looking at things.
Here's a better one: This year's election has included more forums and debates than any in recent history. It's clear citizens care about and recognize the importance of who they choose to lead the city for the next four years.
As they should. The city, like the state and like the country at large, faces tough economic challenges. But while Santa Fe's increased unemployment rate and budget shortfalls are not unique, its civic opportunities are. If the past year hasn't made it completely obvious, the federal government isn't going to solve all our problems. Nor, for that matter, will city government. But local government, if lead by thoughtful and ambitious people, can help Santa Fe reshape and refine its priorities and future. For elected officials, the next four years will provide opportunities to be contemplative, driven and creative.
The three-person race between incumbent Mayor David Coss, former City Manager Asenath Kepler and District 3 City Councilor Miguel Chavez has focused, to some degree, on creative solutions for the future. But there has also been a fair amount of finger-pointing and history lessons along the way.
|In order to decide which candidates to endorse in contested races, SFR reads campaign materials, listens to debates and, of course, follows the news. We call and email sources and gadflies to get their take on things. We conduct our Pop Quiz series to see who knows what.
Before reaching our conclusion, we ask all the candidates in a given race to come in as a group. Members of the editorial department then interview them, basically conducting our own miniature forum.
This year, you can watch the bulk of those endorsement interviews on our website, SFReporter.com.
After the candidates leave, we make fun of them for a while, and then debate not just who to endorse, but why. We try to reach something resembling consensus.
If consensus can't be reached, the editor, who is responsible for writing these and all endorsements, makes the final decision.
City Councilor Chavez references Coss and Kepler's failed tenures as city managers as part of the problem at City Hall. Of course, city managers often fail by getting on the wrong side of city councilors, who can fire them. Maybe it's time to revise Santa Fe's weak-mayor form of government to de-emphasize the appointed city manager's importance. We think Chavez is a good and responsive city councilor, with the best interests of his constituents at heart—but we didn't hear a lot from him that convinces us he has a broad vision right now for the city as a whole.
Former City Manager Kepler is backed publicly by dissatisfied city employees, past and present, as well as former officials, such as Mayor Debbie Jaramillo. Kepler also has support from certain sectors dissatisfied with government in general, such as local members of the Tea Party. It seems clear Kepler, if elected, is ready to shake things up. Big time.
While such vigor makes for an interesting campaign, in practice it reads as reductive and potentially destructive. City Hall has its problems, most def, but let's not throw out the baby with the bath water.
Right now Santa Fe has a mayor whose values and track record in certain areas reflect care for the greater good of the city. Coss didn't just voice support when the College of Santa Fe was in real jeopardy of closing, taking with it jobs, gifted teachers and a fair portion of the city's college-age residents. He rallied with students at the Roundhouse and helped guide them through the political process.
And when state lawmakers failed to respond, Coss drove the city's effort to broker the deal that kept CSF's doors open.
The mayor isn't just paying lip service to the green economy. When he's not riding the bus, he's an avid supporter of programs like YouthWorks and, unlike many, he sees and articulates the connection between gainful, meaningful work and the fight against youth crime.
When faced with irking factions of city police, he made his lack of tolerance for police brutality clear, even if it cost him some police support at the polls.
His public support for immigrant rights, for worker rights and for domestic violence solutions has never wavered.
And when you call him on the phone, you get a call back.
Again, make no mistake: The city has plenty of problems, and the mayor would do well to acknowledge those more readily, if not on the campaign trail, then at least after election day.
How about putting the city checkbook online and soliciting ideas from the public on how to move forward? Why not institute a hotline for anonymous concerns about city waste and corruption? Maybe hold a town hall with emergency responders that's open to all to discuss the ongoing concerns about annexation. Create better mechanisms for dissatisfied city workers to have their gripes addressed.
Or if these aren't the right ideas, make it easy for citizens to come up with their own suggestions for city government.
Let's face it: It's going to take time for the economy to improve, and it will likely never reset to where it once was. In the coming years, Santa Fe needs strong and steady leadership.
We wouldn't mind seeing a slightly more aggressive version of David Coss in his second term—but in substance, he's the right person for the job.
Miguel Chavez:

Two Pennsylvania men were arrested Feb. 26 for trying to pass fraudulent prescriptions at two different Middletown pharmacies.
At around 6 p.m. Middletown Police were called to the Rite Aid on West Main Street where they said Lester Howell, 33, of Collingdale, Pa., tried to pass a fake prescription to the pharmacy.
As officers arrived, the suspect was leaving the parking lot in a car with Pennsylvania tags. Police stopped the vehicle and identified Lester Howell as the driver.
Assisting units were called to the Rite Aid pharmacy as the second suspect, Johnny Howell, 25, of Aldan, Pa., attempted to pick up the filled, fraudulent prescription from the store's drive thru, police said.
Johnny Howell was then taken into custody by Middletown Police.
Through further investigation, police learned that Lester Howell had tried to pass a fraudulent prescription at the Acme Pharmacy on East Main Street earlier that evening.
Lester Howell had left the store after he was questioned by store staff.
Lester Howell was charged with two counts of obtaining a controlled substance by misrepresentation, forgery, and fraud.
He was committed to the Howard Young Correctional Institute on a $7,000 secured bond.
Johnny Howell was charged with one count of obtaining a controlled substance by misrepresentation, fraud, and forgery, and was committed to the Howard Young Correctional Institute on a $5,500 secured bond.
Middletown Police are continuing this investigation with additional charges pending for both men, who they said appear to be connected to at least four other incidents like this that have occurred in the Middletown area in the past four months.
