SEATTLE — After Sunday's game at CenturyLink Field, Doug Baldwin called his hip injury "significant."
It did not compare to the plays the Seattle Seahawks wide receiver made during Sunday's 23-17 win over the San Francisco 49ers in the NFC Championship Game.
Baldwin's 51-yard reception in the second quarter was the longest of the day for the Seahawks — and his most painful. He tried to get off the field after being tackled by two 49ers defenders, but he didn't make it all the way to the sideline.
After eventually jogging off, Baldwin went to the locker room with a significant limp. He returned less than 10 minutes later. He finished the day with six catches for a season-high 106 yards and added a 69-yard kickoff return.
His biggest game of the season came in the team's biggest game thus far.
"The guys that are in our receiver room, they're very talented," Baldwin said. "They're unselfish players."
Baldwin has been riding a theme of disrespect this season. He watched ESPN before Sunday's game and heard himself and his fellow receivers referred to as "appetizers" by former receivers Cris Carter and Keyshawn Johnson.
"I'll take that," Baldwin said. "I'll be an appetizer. But that's a good ... appetizer, if you ask me."
Seahawks cornerback Jeremy Lane is one of the best gunners in the league, and the 49ers used an extra opponent during one punt.
Lane was pushed out of bounds as he tried to sprint down the San Francisco sideline. A person in street clothes on the sideline hit Lane, knocking him down. Lane scrambled to get back up and sprinted toward his target. The referees did not notice the illegal interaction.
"On the second punt, I went out of bounds, and some guy hit me," Lane said. "I was upset about it. I seen him when he did this out of the periphery, but I did not know what happened. I was waiting for the next opportunity (to say something), but I never went over there."
Seahawks strong safety Kam Chancellor clobbered San Francisco tight end Vernon Davis again. Chancellor had delivered a vicious shot to Davis last season that was called a personal foul.
There was no flag Sunday when Davis and Chancellor met again.
"If you're running at me, and I am running at you," Chancellor said, "it's going to be a nasty scene."
Seahawks cornerback Byron Maxwell left the game for a few plays before being cleared to return. … A week after starting at left guard, rookie Michael Bowie was a healthy inactive Sunday. James Carpenter replaced him as the starter and shared time with Paul McQuistan. That was a return to the approach the Seahawks had used most of the season. … The 68,454 tickets distributed was a CenturyLink Field record, surpassing last week's 68,388 in attendance for the divisional playoff game against the New Orleans Saints. ... Seahawks owner Paul Allen raised the 12th Man flag. ... Seattle hip-hop artist Macklemore performed at halftime.

Pasco — Franklin County commissioners postponed today a decision on the incorporation petition for the proposed city of Riverview until Jan. 23.
Pasco city attorney Lee Kerr asked commissioners to dismiss the petition filed by Citizens for Lifestyle Preservation.
State law requires an area that is being considered for incorporation to be contiguous and have at least 3,000 residents, he said.
The proposed Riverview area doesnt meet either requirement, he said. With Pascos recent annexation on Oct. 29 of part of the so-called doughnut hole, the area is in three separate pieces instead of two, and contains less than 3,000 residents, Kerr said.
Roger Lenk, with the citizens group, asked commissioners to postpone the hearing to give the citizens time to look at the population figures from the city of Pasco.
The group still believes there are enough residents inside the remaining portions of the doughnut hole, and there are other areas that could be included in the incorporation boundary, Lenk said.
Ryan Verhulp, the countys chief civil deputy prosecutor, said commissioners can add to the boundaries of an incorporation effort if the area is not part of a city boundary and is contiguous.
Commission Chairman Brad Peck suggested the time extension also would give time for a Franklin County Superior Court decision on the lawsuit filed by the Citizens for Lifestyle Preservation.
The city of Pasco has asked for the case to be dismissed. The city argues that Citizens for Lifestyle Preservation's claims that the city mishandled the annexation process are unfounded.

By GREG MENGELT
When Jeffersonville and Floyd Central — the top two swimming programs in Southern Indiana — meet each year, it's special.
It's the first chance for each program to size up the other.
There will be four teams at tonight's meet at the Jeff High Natatorium — a boys' and a girls' squad on each side — but it will certainly mean more for Floyd Central's boys and Jeffersonville's girls.
For the past few seasons, the Highlander boys and Jeff girls have been doing the chasing, while the Jeff boys and Floyd girls have been winning championships.
Floyd Central girls have won five straight sectional titles, sharing it with Seymour and New Albany in 2010.
Jeffersonville has almost always been in the mix, but the 2012-13 Red Devils may be their strongest squad in seven or eight years.
The Highlanders won last year's sectional by 21 points over runner-up New Albany with fourth-place Jeff 102 points behind.
"I don't know if this is our year to crash their party," Jeff coach Keith Gast said, "but we certainly want to get closer than last year."
"Everyone is going to want to put their best foot forward against us," Floyd coach Joe Perkins admitted. "Keith wants to do the best he can against us. We want to do the best we can against them."
Jeff's girls have already seen a strong team, losing head-to-head to New Albany last week. Gast said the Devils learned that they've improved, but still have some catching up to do when it comes to the area's elite programs.
"We learned a big lesson last week," Gast said of the loss to New Albany. "We are definitely better than we thought. But [New Albany's] Rachel [Klein] and Hannah [Manger] showed our younger girls what it takes to be competitive in the middle of the season.
"We know it will be more of the same against Floyd. They've got a lot of experience. They've been at the top of the heap the last couple of years. We're anxious to see how we will do. In our home pool, hopefully we will step it up and win some races that maybe we're not supposed to."
"We're still very young on the girls' side," Perkins said. "In some events, we'll have three freshmen. Hopefully, in the exciting atmosphere, they can step up as freshmen and continue to improve."
On the other side, Jeff's boys crushed the competition at last year's Floyd Central Sectional. In the end, the Red Devils were a whopping 147 points ahead of runner-up Floyd Central.
Like the Jeff girls, the experienced Highlander boys are out to at least put a dent in the Red Devils' dominance.
"Our boys are excited about swimming this meet," Perkins said. "We get to see where we measure up. The atmosphere will be great. Our kids will be excited to race against kids who they will be competing with for state bids in the sectional, hopefully."
"It's always a good meet — girls and guys," Gast said. "Our guys are really looking forward to it. It's a good rivalry. Both sides are anticipating a good meet. There are definitely some bragging rights on the line. Floyd is much better than last year and people are hoping we're down a little from last year. We're going to see how that goes."
Although Jeff and Floyd will get a good idea of how each team stacks up against its rival, dual meets don't always tell the story. With athletes from other schools certain to take some top spots and with a different point system, it will be difficult to gain too much knowledge from Thursday's outing.
"When we get to conference and sectional, we're looking at eight teams for conference and 16 teams for sectional at how we can score the most points," Perkins said. "[Tonight], we'll be looking for our top swimmers to do what they can do. For our relays, we're looking to post our best times of the years."
The two sides will worry about tournament time when it arrives. For now, both teams just want to beat the other.
"Any time we step on the pool deck, we want to go after the win," Perkins said. "Is that what's going to happen at this point? It's hard to say. But it sets up pretty good for us because we don't race [this week] until [tonight]."
"We get a good idea of what some of the top swimmers are going to swim and how their relays stack up against ours," Gast said. "I say it almost every year, winning this dual meet doesn't mean you're going to win the conference or the sectional. There have been a lot of years when one team has won the dual meet the other won conference and sectionals.
"But I do know this: In December, I would rather win than lose."
• Kyle Crater, Floyd Central: Crater has begun his senior season on fire. He has already beaten his personal-best time in the 500-yard freestyle, as well as being competitive in the 500 and 100 free. "At the start of his senior year, he's posted some pretty good times," Floyd coach Joe Perkins said. "He's come back in and set a tone for himself. He's always been motivated and now his work ethic is matching his motivation."
Other nominees
• Karol Schmuck, Jeffersonville: Schmuck — a foreign exchange student with a background in water polo — showed he is a state-level competitor in swimming with a time of 49.67 seconds in the 100 freestyle against New Albany. Jeff coach Keith Gast believes Schmuck can contend for a state meet spot in the 500 or 100 free, as well as a pair of relays.
• Maxim Khoteenko, Charlestown: Khoteenko — also a foreign exchange student — competed in his first meet in the United States recently. Pirates' coach Andy Cymbalist said Khoteenko swam very well during the meet.
• Luke Lete, New Albany: The senior has qualified for the IHSAA State Finals the past three years and has already had some solid swims this season in his quest to reach state for the fourth time. Bulldogs' coach Dutch Vigar likes Lete's training habits and his work ethic in the classroom.
• Samantha Glover, Jeffersonville: Glover, who didn't begin swimming competitively until her freshman year, had lifetime-bests in Tuesday's Jeff Double Duals, then followed it up with her best times ever in the 200 individual medley and 100 breaststroke against New Albany last Thursday. Her 1:14.16 in the breaststroke was only 3.8 seconds off of the school record. "It has been great watching Sam develop," Gast said. "For someone that started swimming just in high school, she has come a very long way in a very short amount of time. We are really hoping she can chase down that 100 breast school record. I have been with the Red Devils for 14 seasons now and the girls 100 breast is the only swimming record that has not been broken by one of my swimmers."
Other nominees
• Amy McCormick, Floyd Central: The Highlander junior has posted her personal-best times in the 200 and 500 freestyle races this season. She posted a career-best in the 200 against Bedford North Lawrence on Nov. 24 and in the 500 against Providence on Nov. 26.
• Hannah Manger, New Albany: The senior is currently ranked fifth in the state in the 100 backstroke. Bulldogs' coach Steve Bonifer lauds the way Manger leads his team by example.
• Mary Hoff, Charlestown: Cymbalist praised Hoff for stepping up and voluntarily swimming one of the toughest races for the Pirates this season in a recent meet.

There was a definite upside and I was determined to get a good workout in regardless of what was going on outside. This workout can be done with a bench, some workout bands, and a mat. I didn't have a bench, but I did have a "Kitty Condo" loll and I used it in ways I never would have imagined. Ricky was a little curious as to what the hell I was doing.
So I did cardio at home, very intensely for 50 minutes I increased the resistance, alternated foot positions and really focus on hitting many areas of the legs including hamstrings, inner and outer quads, short, medium and long steps, and I decreased the resistance as well. I make sure to always do something different in terms of cardio, especially regarding the duration, intensity and frequency.
I rarely do cardio that long, but I have decided to eat more calories (carbs) and add in a bit more cardio so that I am not starving all the time! Also, I like to look fuller and not flatten out when my carbs get too low. Then I must fill back up without spilling over and I don't want to navigate that right now. I have a few upcoming projects, and need to be in very good shape. So I will make sure I am monitoring my water and sodium, but not as strict with my carb intake, but not going crazy either. Just staying in the same place and maintaining.
Now, I am also not that comfortable in general driving in NY, and I was not going to attempt a long drive to the gym yesterday because I wasn't sure what damage I would come across. It's a 20 mile drive to train at Bev Francis Gym. But it's worth it and I won't train anywhere else. So in the meantime, I made up my own routine, and worked out at home. Where there is a will there is always a way!
After the cardio here are the exercises I completed.
1. On my mat with a small pillow placed under my lower back. (When you are lean, it hurts to do ab work. No fat to protect the lower part of the spine)
Crunch- Raised Leg Criss-Cross (bicycles) - 2 x 20 reps each side = 2 sets, 20 repetitions each side.
Abdominal Crunch- 3 x 20 reps
Hip Lift- Lower Abs off Kitty Condo AKA KC - 3 x 20 reps
V-Ups of KC 3 x 20
Single Leg Step Ups onto KC - 3 sets each side x 20 reps, squeezing quad at top of movement.
Triceps Dips (KC) 3 sets x to failure (around 10-12 reps)
Bicep Curls- 4 Ropes with Varying Resistance Used.
Start with heaviest resistance rope, until my form failed, immediately did 3 drop sets with the remaining 3 ropes each with less resistance to failure. This was a lot more volume and difficulty than the work I did with my triceps. My biceps need to grow, so I did more work with the biceps.
(Started with rehab work, my shoulder has been bothering me) So I worked the core muscles of the shoulder joint and all muscles that surround the shoulder joint for added stability. This is an excellent exercise to do daily until shoulder is healed.
Set Up- Wrapped lightest resistance band around cardio machine and did External Rotation 3 x 25 reps each side.
Side Lateral Raise- Lightest resistance band 2 x 8-10 reps
Bent over rows, using lightest resistance band, arms bent focusing on rear delts. 3 x 20 reps
1 set of military press, this became bothersome, so I stopped the exercise. But you could do 3 x 10-15 reps, depending on your goal.
Regular pushups 2 x 15 reps
Incline pushups off KC 3 x 20 reps
Wrapped medium resistance band around cardio equipment for stability.
Neutral Grip Rows 3 x 10-15 reps
So there it is. My biceps are destroyed and so is my back. As last season I didn't work biceps that much and never worked the mid back.
Google the above exercises if you are not sure. There are a ton of free exercise tutorials available online.
Tonight, is legs!
Hope your training is going well.
Talk soon!

For the second year in a row, C.J. Spiller disagrees with his coach regarding the running back's body.
Last season, Spiller took exception with Chan Gailey's opinion that Spiller got "winded" and needed to be removed from games.
Now Spiller disagrees with Bills coach Doug Marrone.
Marrone said this afternoon Spiller's sprained ankle "probably is not as well" than at this time last week and indicated Spiller might be well-served to rest Sunday rather than play against the New Orleans Saints in the Superdome.
Spiller disagreed with his coach, telling Buffalo News columnist Jerry Sullivan the ankle felt "10 times better" than it did last week.
"Nobody knows my body like me," Spiller said earlier to a group of reporters. Marrone "can only observe what he sees on the film, but I'm sitting here and telling you guys I feel better.
"I know my body better than anybody on this team, on this earth. I know how I feel."
Spiller didn't practice today. This is the fourth straight week Spiller has appeared on the injury report because of his ankle.
If Marrone wants Spiller to rest, then the coach probably must order him not to play. Spiller suggested he won't be able to rule himself out.
"Nah, because I played with turf toe my whole senior season," Spiller said of his terrific year at Clemson when he was a Heisman candidate and voted the ACC's best player. "I ain't going to let no ankle injury stop me.
"Playing with turf toe is more painful than playing on this ankle sprain, to me. I played the whole season with that."
Marrone seemed to realize he can't let Spiller make the final decision.
"C.J. wants to go," Marrone said. "He definitely wants to go. We're going to have to evaluate that during the week because I think we'll have to make a good decision.
"He's working hard. He's coming back. He wants to play. But at the end of the day we've got to make a good decision to see where he's at because we've just got to get him over this hump, and we haven't been able to do it for three weeks."
Spiller's ankle clearly limited him Sunday against the Miami Dolphins. He ran six times for 11 yards and caught three passes for minus-4 yards with a long reception for 1 yard.
"My spirit's high," Spiller said. "I'm going to try to practice throughout the week and come later on in the week it's going to be his decision.
"My goal is I want to be out there with my teammates. There's not a doubt in my mind that I'm not going to say 'Oh, I don't want to play.' That's not in my DNA. That's not how I was raised. You go out there and compete. You're going to be banged up."

Congratulations on a very good issue. As someone who first encountered UNIX via Coherent and then later turned to Linux, I want to let you know that Linux Journal provided me with many interesting articles on new and useful open-source products.
As the Linux user base continues to grow, LJ is faced with addressing the needs among the growing ranks of newbies as well as those who have followed Linux for several years now. Hopefully, LJ will strike a good balance. I for one thoroughly enjoy articles on "nuts and bolts" items, such as kernel internals, libraries and shared module implementation.
Also, case studies are great. At work, we are very interested in using Linux for noncritical "ancillary" applications. These case studies help us learn from and avoid any mistakes others may have made.
Keep up the good work, and don't shy from the in-depth stuff.
PS: The "centerfold" in the June issue was more than a little tongue-in-cheek, and although I found it somewhat funny, it seemed out of place in a quasi-technical magazine. —Allan Peda firstname.lastname@example.com
Today I'm ashamed of being a Linux Journal subscriber. I am disappointed with LJ and SSC almost beyond all reason. Why is the Linux Journal eCommerce site (store.linuxjournal.com) running on NT and IIS? Don't you people have a fundamental problem with that? How could you betray the Linux community in such a manner?
Is there some extenuating circumstance? Is this some sort of mistake? How little faith do you have in Linux that you would do this thing?
These are not rhetorical questions. If I don't get a satisfactory answer, my subscription is history. I read LJ front to back every month, and I would miss it terribly, but I will not support you if your politics are wrong: in a capitalist society, a dollar spent is a vote cast. Why are you voting for Microsoft? —Dale Lakes email@example.com
In order to serve our store customers better, we wanted to outsource the web presence and fulfillment to the same company. WAS offers this service, and plans to port their software to AIX. This was the best alternative we could find. If you know someone running Linux who offers the needed services, let us know —Editor
I read the article "Dynamic Class Loading for C++" in the May issue of Linux Journal. I've been experimenting with this technique awhile, and I experienced a problem that is not mentioned. I had some name clashes between libraries: if two libraries have an internal class, function or public symbol with the same name in both, once they are loaded, the executable behavior is unpredictable.
It seems that when a library is linked in, the dynamic linker starts searching all libraries for symbols, even for the libraries' internal ones. I do not know if this problem was solved in recent versions of the dynamic linker, or if there is a linker option I missed.
I solved it by putting all internal symbols in name spaces. Making sure there were no name spaces with the same name in two libraries (unless desired) eliminated the odd behavior. —Dario Mariani firstname.lastname@example.com
I just read the "We Talk to Everybody" article in the June issue and found it very instructive, since as a "late" Linux user, I ashamedly confess I didn't know all the names listed in it.
However, I think two more people deserve to have their names written on the "Linux Hall of Fame": Paul McKerras and David Hinds (hope I didn't misspell their names) for PPP and PCMCIA. Without them, I wouldn't be able to send you this e-mail (I run Linux on a notebook).
I know we have to do a sort of lightweight patching on the kernel sources for these to work, but I am really thankful. —Nguyen Tuan email@example.com
I have wanted to write about this issue for quite some time now. Everybody is lamenting a lot lately about the "necessity" of having Microsoft Office for Linux as the definitive way for Linux to succeed on the desktop. I happen to have some reservations about that.
First of all, I am lucky enough to work at a UNIX-centric office, so having Linux on my workstation is a given. Aside from my primary job functions, I use Office (StarOffice, that is) for office-related stuff. I use word processors and spreadsheets equally. I used to have Windows on a separate partition as a dual-boot machine, but it's gone now. I needed the space for something else.
The office suite problem still exists for me, though. Being bilingual, I often need to use Russian fonts/encodings on a variety of machines, mostly Linux (x86 and PPC) and Macintosh. Well, it also has to be readable on Windows. MS Word has its own most weird (incompatible) way of encoding (I'd say scrambling) Russian characters, rendering them unreadable on any other hardware/software configuration. So it's unusable for me, period. StarOffice is actually very good in creating nice portable bilingual documents that can be imported into practically any other application. Bummer there's no StarOffice for Macintosh! Corel WordPerfect has the same limitations as StarOffice, but it is even further restricted regarding the OS (no Solaris version). The only "word processor" that is actually available for any platform/OS and works with any national character set is Netscape Communicator. The output of this application beats all competition in terms of universality and portability, but it does suck as a word processor.
Bottom line: I need an office suite that is reasonably full-featured (like StarOffice), available for all major and minor OS platforms (like Netscape), produces absolutely portable text output (again, like Netscape) and doesn't cost an arm and a leg (like Netscape and StarOffice). I want to reiterate that incompatible features of MS Office make it unacceptable for me even for free. Does anybody use a non-stolen version of MS Office anyway? —Alex Aitouganov firstname.lastname@example.com
Linux has become a key foundation for supporting today's rapidly growing IT environments. Linux is being used to deploy business applications and databases, trading on its reputation as a low-cost operating environment. For many IT organizations, Linux is a mainstay for deploying Web servers and has evolved from handling basic file, print, and utility workloads to running mission-critical applications and databases, physically, virtually, and in the cloud. As Linux grows in importance in terms of value to the business, managing Linux environments to high standards of service quality — availability, security, and performance — becomes an essential requirement for business success.

Though it made $1.4 billion in profits last year Hartford-based Traveler's, the insurance giant, got back a $176 million tax refund from the Internal Revenue Service. It is one of several entities in the state that makes millions, or even billions, of dollars in profits each year but finds ways under the current federal tax structure to avoid paying taxes, according to a story in the Connecticut Mirror.
The story is based on a report by the Institute for Policy Studies, called "Executive Excess 2012: The CEO Hands in Uncle Sam's Pocket." In it, the Washington, D.C.-based think-tank says that while public sector budget cuts "have axed 627,000 public service jobs just since June 2009," billion-dollar companies and their highly paid chief executives have found ways to avoid paying taxes that would help ease the burden on the middle and lower classes.
"These tax dollars are flowing from average Americans who depend on public services to the kingpins of America's private sector. They're subsidizing, directly and indirectly, the mega-million paychecks that go to the top executives at our nation's biggest banks and corporations," the Institue says.
In Connecticut, the Mirror reports, "Travelers and other large corporations, including AT&T, Boeing and Citigroup, used provisions in the tax code to pay little or nothing in taxes while their CEOs averaged $20.4 million in compensation."

It was late 2009 when we came up with the crazy notion that we could make shopping better. We knew the hard nut to crack was not where to get the best price, but what product will best match your needs and make you happy. We were all photography buffs so we started off with cameras. In Jan 2010 lifehacker published our the first feature of snapsort, comparing cameras. It got shared about 20,000 times and the rest was history.
We felt the web was a treasure trove of information; being geeks we knew you could harness it to make great decisions, but we were incredibly frustrated with the time it took to unearth the details you needed. Information is spread thin, hidden in forums and locked in reviews; we'd find ourselves reading 15 articles before we found the perspective and info that we needed. Parsing through newsgroups run by rabid fans or digging up specs on a manufacturer web site wasn't something you could do when you just wanted to make a great decision fast. Even worse, searching with Google and trying to find the right data using a tiny mobile screen is an exercise in self-punishment. Mobile needs a paradigm shift in how people find answers. We've spent a lot of time focusing on cameras, honing our recommendation skills in a space we enjoyed and felt we could provide value. In 2011 we began the quest to transfer what we'd learnt in cameras and apply it to more products. We launched Sortable.com in Jan 2012 and it was the culmination of our efforts to go beyond cameras.
In the last couple of years we've taken the service from zero to almost four million visitors a month. We've done this with nine employees, and minimal funding. We're just a bunch of engineers with an idea. Right now we're helping people make better decisions on what camera, phone, laptop, tv, lens, and tablet they buy. We're very proud of this! With snapsort.com we have built one of the largest photography gear sites on the Internet.
The problem is we want to go faster. Much faster. Our technology has come a long way and we want to help people make all kinds of decisions not just gadgets. A competitor, Hunch.com, had an immense promise that we all loved but, ultimately, it failed to catch on with consumers. Our technology does work, users love it, return rates are drastically reduced, conversions are drastically increased and we offer advertisers a unique opportunity to engage users in a hyper-focused manner. We want to finish what we started and fulfil our vision of helping consumers make better decisions in all the areas of their life. We're focused on organizing the web's knowledge in a structured way and we didn't want to get gobbled up and have our mission aborted by corporate overlords.
We've spent the last six months looking at how we can grow the business: where we can get the resources, what kind of dilution we'll take, and how do we keep control. Along the way we started the conversation with Ted Hastings about what it would take to build a global scale consumer web business in Canada. Canada is not considered a consumer web powerhouse; SaaS, e-commerce, apps, and B2B are a different story but the Facebooks, Yelps, AirBNBs, Pintrests and Kayaks don't seem to come out of Canada.
We want to grow our audience by an order of magnitude in the next couple years and that's where Rebellion comes in to play. At Sortable we're focused on mining the web for interesting data, building engaging communities, driving personalized answers based on huge data sets, driving conversions to retailers, and generating unique advertising opportunities.
Rebellion provides us a home where our mission gets supercharged, where we're tasked with taking our technology and applying it to everything from real estate, movies, and restaurants to mutual funds, fashion, and travel. At Rebellion we're going to have a simple mission: take what we do and do it at huge scale.
For our users, nothing is changing. We're going to grow the team (we're hiring!) as fast as we can and give you way more awesomeness. We're staying in Waterloo. We hope the only thing you notice is how much better the service gets. We have a lot in the pipeline ready for August launch.
For our fellow lovers of photography we hope the expanded resources will mean an even better snapsort and the same great experience you've come to love translated to all the things you need. Thanks for loving what we do and supporting us.
Stay tuned.
Chris, Alex, Mark and the Snapsort/Sortable Team

CHAPEL HILL — Police released a photo of a third suspect wanted in connection with last week's shooting on Pope Road in Durham County.
Jaheem Watson, 24, faces first-degree burglary, second-degree kidnapping and related conspiracy charges, Chapel Hill police spokesman Sgt. Bryan Walker said in a news release.
Police also are searching for two brothers – Rahmil Ingram, 20, and Jahmil Ingram, 18 – wanted in connection with the shooting. They are known to frequent Orange and Durham counties. Most recently, they lived in the Hillsborough area, Walker said.
Police said the shooting was not a random act, and all three men are considered armed and dangerous. Anyone who sees them should call 911, but not approach them, Walker said.
Jahmil Ingram also is charged with first-degree burglary, second-degree kidnapping and related conspiracy charges. Rahmil Ingram is charged with assault with a deadly weapon with intent to kill inflicting serious injury, first-degree burglary, second-degree kidnapping, discharging a firearm into an occupied dwelling and two counts of assault by pointing a gun, police reported.
The crime scene is in Durham County but within Chapel Hill town limits, which is why Chapel Hill police are investigating.
The men are accused of shooting Kenneth Hardin, 45, in the left hand and the stomach around 5:30 a.m. Sept. 24. Hardin was taken to UNC Hospitals for treatment of non-life-threatening injuries and released. According to a police report, several people were at the scene when the shooting occurred. It is not clear who lived at the residence, police said.
Anyone with information about the shooting or the whereabouts of Rahmil Ingram, Jahmil Ingram or Jaheem Watson should call Crimestoppers at 919-942-7515. Online tips can be sent by email to firstname.lastname@example.com. Calls to Crimestoppers are confidential, and callers may be eligible for a cash reward.

Here's a quick look at some products we saw on exhibit at Infocomm, which wrapped up in Orlando Friday. I'll have more from additional manufacturers this week.
AC Lighting Inc. showed its range of LED lighting products exclusively distributed by the company in North America. New products include the Chroma-Q™ Color Block 2™ LED fixture and Magic Box™ EtherSwitch 7™ Ethernet switch. The Color Block 2 is a 530-lumen unit that features camera-friendly, single color output RGBA LEDs; theatrical grade dimming; increased color palette; and a color rendition index (CRI) of 90. EtherSwitch 7 is a touring grade, high quality Ethernet switch that supports simultaneous computer connections land comes with seven shielded EtherCon ports (RJ45) providing 10/100/1,000 Mbps bandwidth in full duplex mode. The standalone unit enables the concurrent use of various multimedia devices within a network without traffic restrictions.
Daktronics Inc. has launched its newest indoor addition to its PST product lineup, the PST-6i-b modular LED video panel designed for high-profile rental and staging applications. The thin, lightweight PST-6i-b panel is first in a series of black-package LED displays. Daktronics says the display face is 50% blacker than traditional indoor LED video displays. The panel uses a thermally efficient module housing to evenly disperse heat, prevent hot spots, and protect critical elements, while a fanless cabinet design makes it appropriate for environments that require a noiseless solution. The panels also use an advanced louver design to eliminate module seams, or "checkerboard effect," and aid in achieving the widest indoor viewing angles available in the industry, at 140 degrees horizontal and 110 degrees vertical.
Draper, Inc. is showing the new StageScreen, designed to save setup time and cost, as it allows building of different screen formats and sizes with different combinations of the same parts. Despite the modular design, the 8" truss system is stronger than traditional truss, with virtually no deflection even in large sizes. Truss segments attach quickly and securely end-to-end without no parts to unfold and no hinges. The company's proprietary screen attachment system also works without snaps. In less than 10 minutes, two people can have a 17 x20' screen fully assembled and ready to fly.
Evans & Sutherland is claiming to have the highest resolution production projector in the world with its launch of the 8Kx4K laser projector, the ESLP 8K, that provides 16 times the resolution of 1080p HD and fidelity that exceeds the human eye. The unit's NanoPixel silicon imaging chip provides an image free of artifacts, with no visible gaps between pixels and absolutely zero persistence in moving images. The unit can also be powered by an ordinary wall outlet and requires only minimal cooling.
Tomcat exhibited its newest products: Sky, Edge and (core). The company has also teamed up with InterAmerica Stage, the specialty rigging and show system solutions provider to the broadcasting and entertainment industry, to promote the SkyDeck™ modular wire grid system. Shown alongside InterAmerica's SkyDeck™ system is Tomcat's Sky product, a ladder beam truss product with a sturdy spigot connection designed for light-, medium-, and heavy-duty applications over short and large spans. Edge is the company's newest intelligent pre-rig truss in a 30" x24" format that allows stacking in a truck of four trusses wide and three high, with added flexibility of rotating spigots and interchangeable ladders. Tomcat's (core) range is brand new and has two sizes available: (core)12 and (core)18. It features conventional 12"x12" and 12"x18" light-duty box truss, modified to provide a more efficient truss.
Drape Kings showed a number of products, including the patent-pending Skirt/Header Clamp for masking any screen from 16:9, 4:3—almost any format—up to 16' wide. Users can adjust screens down to various ratios. With a few more components, an existing pipe and drape system can serve as a universal screen surround. The system also allows for a continuous wall of drape to accommodate changes in ceiling heights, with no need to add additional uprights. The clamps are sold in pairs cased in a vinyl zippered pouch.
Representing several manufacturers, and a manufacturer itself, TMB had several new offerings. From Green Hippo comes UberPan, a new advanced multi-server control system that allows multiple Hippotizers to work as one, creating a single virtual canvas. Also at the TMB booth was a separate demo room with amBX's amBIENT XC, an ambient lighting control system for the creation and delivery of immersive entertainment experiences. Additional new products include the ProFan high-velocity DMX fan with detachable remote for manual control; the ProPlex RMT (Remote Media Transceiver) system for DVI video, audio, and serial data transmission and distribution over fiber-optic or CAT5e cable; the ProPlex GBS (GigaBit Switch) built specifically for use in portable entertainment production; the ProShell Professional RJ45 housing that converts a standard RJ45 into a rugged, road-worthy connector; and the Solaris CF-35 strobe, an IP-rated, UV-stabilized strobe for architectural and architainment installations and available in six colors.
Harman Professional has launched HiQnet System Architect™ version 2.0, an upgrade to the audio configuration and control interface for designing specialized audio networks for a wide array of applications. The new version features a new system design philosophy centered on workflow and the use of a diagrammatic representation of the installed or live sound venue. Devices are arranged by both their physical and logical placement allowing the designer to 'educate' System Architect about how they are to be used, and the software can provide automation of many of the laborious system design tasks for free. In addition, the company is demonstrating HiQnet™ products streaming Ethernet AVB in a technology preview, showcasing new Ethernet AVB products including a dbx SC 32 Digital Matrix Processor, an Ethernet AVB architectural wall-plate from BSS Audio, and a Crown CTs amplifier.
Sennheiser Electronic Corporation introduced a new distributed brand, K-Array, manufacturer of thin, lightweight loudspeakers for medium to large-scale applications. Models include the Vyper 3D line arrays, Tornado point-source speakers, and the Kobra series of ultra-slim 3D line arrays. The flagship Vyper KV50 ultra-flat 3D line array element is less than 1.5" wide, and half as deep, but can fill a space that seats hundreds. The Red Line line includes the KR100, KR200 two-way speakers, and KL12 and KL18 ultra-light subwoofers. The KR speakers measure only a couple inches across, and the KL subwoofers weigh just over 25 pounds. The KH series, which consists of the KH4 two-way flat panel line array and KH15 two-way ultra-compact line array, are self-powered and measure 6" deep. The KH4 is suited for long throw applications, such as arenas, while the KH15 is designed for medium throw applications, such as theaters, concert halls, and churches. Other products on display include the KS series, the KA series, the Overbass series of self-powered subwoofers, and the KM8 stage monitor.
Neutrik showed its new opticalCON QUAD, a four-channel version of its ruggedized-protected fiber optic connector system designed specifically for multichannel point-to-point cabling applications. It is IP65-rated for dust tight and water jet protection and features three variations: 4-channel, 4-channel X-treme, and Triple-Split 12-channel assemblies. The company also introduced an upgraded USB/Firewire chassis connector to meet the increasing demands for lockable and watertight digital interface connections. The new chassis connector design features a sealing ring and offers optional screen-to-chassis grounding for improved shielding effectiveness. And to correspond with the USB and FireWire connectors, as well as to accommodate HDMI connectivity, Neutrik launched a HDMI 1.3 feed-through in its universal D-style chassis connector. It is equipped with the same optional screen to chassis grounding and sealing gasket features for a lockable and watertight digital interface connection.Continue on Page 2
Harkness Screens showed its entire line of rear-projection event screens designed with PVC surfaces that can be used where a specific screen size or shape is required for both temporary and permanent installations. The line includes Translite Gray for use in controlled light conditions; Translite Super Gray with higher transmittance; Translite Blue for high-contrast images; Translite Midnight, a dark grey screen for high-contrast images; Translite Super 2, a cream-colored screen for use in low ambient light; Translite White, an off-white screen similar to Translite Super 2; RP 230, a gray high contrast, high transmittance screen surface; and RP3D for use with 3D systems using polarized light.
Wireworks celebrated 35 years in the biz and introduced SPEN and SPE5 Loudspeaker Cords designed specifically for use with Meyer Sound's MM-4 and MM-4XP speakers. The SPEN cords feature 2-pole EN3 water-resistant connectors and are available in both link and extension configurations, and in a variety of standard lengths with custom lengths to order. Each assembly features two 16-gauge, 26-strand conductors in a round matte-finish flexible jacket to deliver high-quality speaker level signals with minimal signal loss. SPE5 cords are constructed to accommodate both the power and audio signal requirements needed for MM-4XP Self-Powered Miniature Loudspeakers. The cords feature a 5-pole EN3 water-resistant connector on each end. The cable contains one 18-gauge pair for power to the speaker and one 22-gauge shielded pair for the audio signal. The EN3 connectors feature gold-plated contacts for excellent signal transmission in a tough thermoplastic fiber body with positive locking ring. Both cords are manufactured in link versions to connect speakers together and extension versions to allow the cables to be extended.
XTA Electronics showed the DC1048 Installation Audio Processor with its full matrix mixing and wide range of EQ functions. Twenty-four-bit high-end converters and a 96K sample rate ensure a bandwidth in excess of 30kHz and a dynamic range of over 112dB. With four inputs and eight outputs all electronically balanced on 3-pin Phoenix connectors, the unit also has GPIO interface built in along with the USB front panel connector and RS485 networking.
EAW launched the DX1208 DSP Matrix Mixer, a 12-input, 8-output 1U-rackspace DSP matrix mixer.

Cribs: Jeremy Lin Edition
Jeremy Lin welcomed by Lakers
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- Jeremy Lin remains one of the most recognizable basketball players in the world, and he's joined perhaps the most popular global brand of any basketball team in the Los Angeles Lakers.
But it doesn't mean Lin is looking to use all that attention to replicate the same lightning-in-a-bottle situation he had when he burst onto the scene with the New York Knicks during the 2011-12 season.
"I'm not trying to relive that banner season," Lin said during his introductory news conference with the Lakers on Thursday. "I think that's been a big weight off my shoulders and I think that's very important for me as a player. I'm not trying to recreate a 'Linsanity.' I'm not trying to be that phenomenon that happened in New York. I think I just want to be myself more than ever."
The player Lin is today in some respects is even better than the one who dropped a career-high 38 points on the Lakers at Madison Square Garden in February 2012. Even though Lin lost his starting point guard role with the Houston Rockets to Patrick Beverley last season, he still shot career bests from the field (44.6 percent), from 3-point range (35.8 percent) and from the free throw line (82.3 percent). He also limited his turnovers to just 2.5 per game after averaging 3.6 with the Knicks.
Lakers are a Hollywood tragedy
The Los Angeles Lakers have been at the hub of the NBA universe pretty much forever, but their star went supernova a couple of years ago. For decades, the Lakers seemed to hover above any of the rules that governed typical basketball operations, but no more. And like Norma Desmond in "Sunset Boulevard," the Lakers continue to preen like stars, but outside of Los Angeles, fewer and fewer seem to care.
This is a franchise at its nadir. The Lakers missed the playoffs last season for just the sixth time in the franchise's 67 years of existence. Their 27 wins were the fewest since arriving in Los Angeles in 1960 -- three fewer than the season before the Lakers acquired Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. Los Angeles also missed the playoffs in Kareem's first season on the West Coast -- the only time the organization has ever missed the postseason two years in a row. It very well could happen again this season.
How did the NBA's most glamorous franchise plummet to such depths?
Davis focused on moving ahead with Lakers
EL SEGUNDO, Calif. -- After turning down a contract extension offer from the Memphis Grizzlies last fall worth north of $20 million, according to multiple league sources, Ed Davis said he was comfortable with how everything played out after signing a two-year, $2 million contract with the Los Angeles Lakers on Wednesday.
"No regrets at all," Davis said during his introductory news conference. "Everything happens for a reason. I'm not trying to sound cliché, but just looking forward to this opportunity here with this great franchise and just being able to contribute every night."
Davis, 25, is one of five new players the Lakers have acquired since their miserable 27-55 season ended in April. While he comes to the Lakers at a relatively bargain $1 million annual price tag, Davis has a player option for the second year of his deal and could test the market looking for a more lucrative offer should he put up big numbers in L.A. next season, similar to what Nick Young and Jodie Meeks accomplished this summer.
"As you know we're working on completion of our roster and we feel we've made significant improvements and changes and we're happy to add a young player with a very promising future who is going to continue to work and develop in this league in Ed Davis," said Lakers general manager Mitch Kupchak before presenting Davis with his No. 21 uniform.
Davis, who wore No. 32 for the Toronto Raptors and the Grizzlies, had to choose No. 21, the number he wore in ninth grade, because No. 32 is retired by the Lakers for Magic Johnson.
The real number Davis is concerned about is how many minutes he will be able to play in L.A. After seeing his career start to blossom during the first half of the 2012-13 season for Toronto -- averaging 9.7 points and 6.7 rebounds in 24.2 minutes per game -- he saw his playing time dip to the 15-minute range in the last season and a half after being traded to Memphis.
"Obviously it's a great organization, franchise, a lot of history here," Davis said. "And it's a young team. I think it's an opportunity where I can play and help this team win."
Davis played behind Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph in Memphis and now will likely play backup minutes to Lakers rookie Julius Randle, who has drawn comparisons to Randolph already.
"I think he's going to be a real good player in this league," Davis said of Randle. "He kind of reminded me of Zebo a little bit, but he puts it on the floor a little bit better than Zebo."
He'll also have competition in the frontcourt in L.A. outside of Randle, with the Lakers re-signing Jordan Hill, winning an amnesty waiver bid on Carlos Boozer and retaining Robert Sacre.
Davis, at 6-10 and 225 pounds, says he brings versatility to the court.
"I think I can play both positions, the four and the five," Davis said. "I think all the players here are different players and we all complement each other in different ways."
While Davis hopes to have a breakout season to establish his footing in the league, he said the Lakers did not try to lure him with any promise of guaranteed playing time.
"Not at all," Davis said. "I think it's tough to say that without a coach. But I'm just going to work in training camp and earn everything, so, I'm going to be ready."
The Lakers continue to operate without a head coach in place, nearing the three-month mark since Mike D'Antoni resigned. Kupchak elusively made his way out of the press room immediately after introducing Davis on Wednesday, perhaps to avoid any questions that would come his way concerning the coaching search.
No matter whom it is the Lakers hire, Davis should be able to adapt. He has already played for four coaches in his four seasons in the league -- Jay Triano and Dwane Casey in Toronto and Lionel Hollins and Dave Joerger in Memphis -- and coming to L.A. will guarantee a fifth coach in five seasons.
"It's going to be my fifth coach this year, but I think the NBA game is pretty much the same, it uses the same terms," Davis said. "All the coaches use the same terms. But it's just figuring out what the coaches like every year. They all have their own schemes and stuff like that."
For any new player coming into L.A., Kobe Bryant figures to be just as influential as the coach to their transition.
Davis shares the same agent as Bryant in Rob Pelinka and has already spoken to the veteran shooting guard over the phone about coming to the Lakers. What did Bryant say to him?
"A couple things," Davis said. "Keep it private."
Davis knows that with such an intense media focus coupled with extreme fan expectations in L.A., few things are truly kept private, however. He said there was a similar atmosphere at the University of North Carolina, where he won a championship as a freshman in 2009.
"It definitely motivates you," Davis said. "Like Carolina and here, they hold you to high expectations. They want to win no matter what, no matter what the situation is. So, it does motivate you in the summertime and it's a good thing to have that support, to have the big fan base."
If Davis accomplishes what he is setting out to in L.A. -- protecting the rim on defense, playing multiple positions on the frontline and improving as a player -- those Laker fans will adopt him real quick.
"I feel over these past four years I got a lot stronger," Davis said. "I grew a lot mentally, just understanding the game because it is a big leap from college to the pros. Then I just feel like I'm going to keep working every day and just continue to build my game and just get better."

Is Kobe This Generation's 'Jordan'?
Nick Young, Ryan Kelly sign with L.A.
The Los Angeles Lakers took care of some unfinished business on Monday, officially signing both Nick Young and Ryan Kelly to contract extensions.
The signings were merely a formality, as the team had already reached agreements with both Young and Kelly in the last several weeks while general manager Mitch Kupchak attempted to fill out the roster for next season through free agency.
"When Nick became a free agent in June, I expressed hope that we would be able to bring him back on a contract that was in the best interest of both the Lakers and himself, and I am proud to say we were able to do so," Kupchak said in a statement. "Nick was a bright spot for us last season, and we are happy to retain such a skilled player who is committed to being a part of what we are building as a franchise."
Young signed a four-year, $21.5 million deal with a player option on the fourth year. The Lakers used part of their "room exception" to sign Kelly to a two-year deal worth approximately $3.5 million. The new contracts represent a nice raise for both Young and Kelly who made approximately $1.2 million and $500,000, respectively, while with the Lakers last season.

Michael Cooper has tongue cancer
ATLANTA -- Atlanta Dream coach Michael Cooper has early-stage tongue cancer and has taken a leave from the WNBA team.
Cooper will have surgery this week at Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta, and a full recovery is expected, the Dream said Monday.
The 58-year-old coach is expected to miss about two weeks, with assistant coach Karleen Thompson filling in. Atlanta plays at Minnesota on Tuesday.
"I'm fortunate that my condition was diagnosed early, and this episode illustrates the importance of screening and early detection," Cooper said. "I know the team will be in good hands with Coach Thompson at the helm during my absence, and I look forward to returning to the court soon."
Cooper is in his first season with Atlanta. His team leads the Eastern Conference with a 15-6 record. He coached the East to a 125-124 overtime victory at the WNBA All-Star Game on Saturday.
Cooper won five NBA titles as a shooting guard with the Los Angeles Lakers during the "Showtime" era from 1978-90. As a coach, he won two WNBA titles with the Los Angeles Sparks and one NBA Development League championship with Albuquerque.
After his second run with the Sparks, Cooper was hired as the women's coach at USC. He resigned in March after an 11-20 season, his first losing mark in four seasons.

Bucks get Kendall Marshall's contract
MILWAUKEE -- The Milwaukee Bucks have been awarded the contract of Kendall Marshall, the second-year guard who was waived last week by the Los Angeles Lakers.
Marshall appeared in 54 games for the Lakers last season, averaging 8.0 points, 8.8 assists and 2.9 rebounds per game. He shot 39.9 percent from 3-point range.
He'll be reunited in Milwaukee with Bucks forward John Henson, his teammate at the University of North Carolina.
Phoenix drafted Marshall with the 13th pick in the 2012 draft.
He was traded to Washington with Marcin Gortat and two other players for Emeka Okafor and a draft pick. The Wizards waived him, and he played seven games in the NBA D-League before the Lakers called him up.
Kobe Bryant is documentary subject
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. -- Kobe Bryant says he's "scared'' about his future after basketball, although he's embracing the challenge of finding something that he can be as passionate about as sports.
Bryant turns 36 next month and is under contract with the Los Angeles Lakers for two more years. He was limited to just six games last season because of two major leg injuries, leaving him with the kind of idle time he never had before in his career.
Bryant gives a peek into his life in a Showtime documentary airing in November. "Kobe Bryant's Muse'' covers much of last season, when Bryant was sidelined and the Lakers finished 27-55, the most losses in club history.
"It's a fascinating time to be around this guy,'' said Gotham Chopra, who directed the film. "There's this sort of looking forward to life after basketball. This is a guy that's asking a lot of questions.''
The unexpected time off last season forced Bryant to think about his post-basketball future.
"I'm afraid, too,'' he said Friday at the summer TV critics' meeting. "You really have to lean on muses and mentors going forward, just as I did as a kid. It's about having that next wave of things, which is scary as hell, but it's fun at the same time.''
Bryant said this film is different than the 2009 ESPN documentary "Kobe Doin' Work,'' which was directed by Spike Lee. The new film includes Magic Johnson and former Lakers coach and current Knicks president Phil Jackson.
"It's more introspective,'' he said. "It's about who or what has inspired me.''
Bryant is credited as an executive producer on the Showtime film, a vanity credit only.
"I'm not even quite sure what it is they do,'' he said.
He arrived 30 minutes late for his session with critics.

Special to the Tribune-Star
---- —
I understand that the cost of pursuing my hobby will be going up by a penny come the year 2013.
Presently, I pay 44 cents to mail a letter. Soon it is to be 45 cents per letter. I like to write letters and I have a few faithful correspondents who answer. Yes, I know all about the speed and convenience of email, but I much prefer having a bit of paper in hand that I can save, read again and again and then answer at my leisure. I find that more satisfying.
I guess I would resent the increase a lot less if it wasn't costing me at least 10 cents more to mail a letter than it costs to mail stuff to me which ends up in my "circular file" for deposit at the curb one morning a week. I had one the other day which cost the mailer 35 cents, and one today simply marked "non-profit organization."
Mail used to be a daily surprise. I wondered who I would hear from then or at least a day or two later. I looked forward to carrying on a conversation by mail.
Now my mail consists of — in ascending order of disinterest — magazines, catalogues, and appeals for money for good causes at home and abroad. The latter almost fill the mailbox daily. The catalogues are also arriving in plenty. I suppose this is to encourage me to make an early start on Christmas buying — preferably from their mail-order catalogue.
I went to the box the other morning with little hope, but was delighted to find a letter from a friend who calls herself "the other Liz." We entered Yorkville High School together and she is the power behind our reunions every five years or so.
She enclosed assorted autographs from former classmates who had attended the most recent Yorkville homecoming, and a number of photographs. Two pictures were especially welcome. They were pictures of the "old" Yorkville High School now reborn as a "Christian School." I wonder if it still smells of oil used to wax the wooden floors as it once did every fall.
At least this communiqué did not include an obituary for a former classmate.
I am deeply indebted to "Liz" who keeps me up to date on Yorkville and all the friends I remember so fondly. I am ready to throw in the towel and concede that it is now I who am "the other Liz."
I could use more happy mail surprises like that.

To the editor:
On Labor Day weekend, I attended church with my daughter and her family. The final hymn we sang was "God Bless America." How much we need God's blessing, but I thought, how can we expect God's blessing when we, as a nation, have departed from God's will?
God's gift of human life is no longer respected, and we, as a nation, have given mothers the right to abortion, which is the killing of their unborn children and the wounding of their mothers, whose very nature it is to bear and nurture life. A wise person once said that if we admit to killing at any point in the cycle of human life (abortion), it will happen again. Assisted suicide has already been accepted by some states and is on the rise. Eventually, no one will be secure in living life.
May we have the wisdom to see that we are becoming steeped in the culture of death. Marriage, which is the union of a man and a woman for sharing mutual love and the begetting of children, is being redefined and granted to same-sex couples. It is vital as a nation that we once more become "one nation under God," respecting human life from the moment of conception to natural death and upholding traditional marriage.
With the upcoming election, let us elect moral people who will help lead us back to the culture of life, when all life will be cherished.
God bless America and grant us peace and prosperity.
Helen McPhillips
