Tonight, we have the results for last night's quarterfinals show. Twelve acts performed and a mere four will advance to the next round. America's votes will decide the first three acts to advance then the judges get to choose the fourth. We jump right into it. Nick calls  singer Tim Hockenberry and contortionist Turf onstage. Hmm. The fact that these two acts got called at the same time is puzzling because they're both judges' favorites, and usually when two acts go onstage, one goes home.

One little girl was looking for a purple dress for her mother. A teenager looked at curtains for his little sister. A little boy was looking for anything with Tinkerbell. For the past eight years, the aisles of Walmart in Westminster have hosted more than 175 youngsters in their quest to find holiday presents for members of their families.

Sitting on stage alongside his aging teammates, having dinner during the Sports Legend Museum induction at Martin's West Tuesday night, 85-year-old Gino Marchetti will chew on this: "It's amazing to me that, after all these years, people are still thinking of us," Marchetti, the Baltimore Colts' Hall of Fame defensive end, said. "I always figured that I'd play football for a few years, go home to Antioch (Calif.) and work in the mill until I turned 65, then go fishing. But, God almighty, the people of Baltimore want to keep promoting us. "The fans were always great in this town.

Riley's play on both sides of the ball led the No. 8 Engineers to a 12-0 victory over Edmondson Saturday, preserving Poly's unbeaten record. The senior, headed for Virginia Tech, had three interceptions and four tackles and scored both touchdowns - all in the second half. A 6-foot, 192-pound All-Metro second-team cornerback who doubles as a wide receiver, Riley had his first interception early in the half, setting up his 29-yard touchdown reception. He ran his third interception back 13 yards for a touchdown, the first time he had ever returned one for a score.

Poly cornerback Donovan Riley felt so ill earlier this week that he missed three days of football practice. Fortunately, the effects of what he called "a 24-hour bug-type thing" - which lasted a lot longer that - didn't linger into Saturday night's game against Baltimore City rival Edmondson. Riley looked just fine as he intercepted three passes and scored two touchdowns to lead the No. 10 Engineers to a 12-0 victory over the Red Storm in a clash between the last remaining unbeaten teams in the city's Division I. In a game in which yardage was tough to come by, Riley wasn't the only Engineer to stand out on defense.

A second-team All-Metro defensive back last season, Donovan Riley is one of the main reasons Poly's No. 10 football team has allowed only six points during its 3-0 start. The 6-foot, 192-pound cornerback shuts down receivers. He has five tackles, an interception and three pass breakups while also scoring a pair of touchdowns as a wide receiver. After a stand-out performance at the U.S. Army All-American Bowl combine in San Antonio in January, the senior received offers from Virginia Tech, Pittsburgh, Connecticut, Vanderbilt, Cincinnati and Wisconsin.

Colts legend Art Donovan never thought he'd get his ring back. The cherished keepsake of the 1958 NFL championship game — often called "the greatest game ever played" — was stolen from a Hong Kong hotel room in 1977. Donovan assumed it was gone forever. But 34 years later, the ring has been returned to its rightful owner after it showed up for sale on the Internet. A Howard County police detective followed up on a tip and found the ring, engraved with the defensive tackle's name and jersey number, listed for $25,000 on Craigslist.
