PASCO, Wash. - Nearly 700 people attend the American Red Cross Real Heroes Breakfast on Thursday. The 11th annual breakfast was held at the TRAC in Pasco.
The event recognizes individuals in the community who show "extraordinary courage." After receiving almost 30 nominations, the Red Cross narrowed the finalist down to 12 recipients.
Scott McLellan, awarded for saving a woman who was drowning in the Columbia River, said he was shocked to hear he was being named a "Real Hero."
"I didn't expect to receive anything at all. To be honored for something that I felt was a natural thing to do--to go out and help someone, it's nice," said McLellan.

The Machine - TRG's Playoff Picks, Version 2
I posted over on AP a while back my initial picks for who'll advance to this year's NFL playoffs. Using ESPN's Playoff Machine and using Power Rankings as my criteria, I had initially predicted that Kansas City would go 5-2 in the final seven weeks with losses at Denver and home against Indianapolis. That would have guaranteed them the 1-seed in the AFC, pending a Denver loss to New England in Week 12 (and, obviously, a KC win at home over San Diego that same week, and a win against Denver at Arrowhead the following week.) Seattle, naturally, would sweep the rest of their schedule and wind up with a 15-1 record, taking the 1-seed in the NFC playoffs. Boy, was I ever wrong about the AFC side of the house. I'll admit it, and the crow needs some more Tabasco sauce on it. Still pulling for Seattle to clinch that top seed in the NFC Playoffs. If asked, I'll post up my predictions for each potential playoff game in a fanpost. GO HAWKS!!!

Week Seventeen Analysis:
Jay Cutler gets the start on Sunday despite a lousy game last week. It's a juicy matchup with the sagging Green Bay secondary. But in this pivotal, win-and-you're-in game, will Marc Trestman yank Cutler early if he struggles? That's your risk. Not the Packers. Green Bay has allowed multiple passing touchdowns in four straight games, and in the earlier matchup, Josh McCown threw for a healthy 272 yards and two scores.
Week Sixteen Analysis:
Jay Cutler returned to the helm of the Bears last week. He probably was nearly benched after a rusty start, but he warmed up, and ended up with a nice stat line: three touchdowns and 265 yards. He could easily hit those numbers against a much worse secondary in Philadelphia this Sunday night. The Eagles rank 31st against passing yardage, allowing 307 yards per game. Throwing out the blizzard game two weeks ago, the Eagles have given up big passing games to middling quarterbacks Matt Cassel, Carson Palmer, and Robert Griffin over the last month. Cutler has big upside in this game, with the only danger being a potentially quick hook if he struggles, which I don't expect.
Week Ten Analysis: 11/7 Update
Cutler was named the starter for week 10 against the Detroit Lions and was immediately put into Charch's top 10.
Week Seven Analysis:
I'm delighted with the improvement in Jay Cutler's play. He's still capable of the periodic meltdown (like we saw in the Lions game), but that's become an aberration. Cutler has not thrown an interception in three of his past four games, so his mistakes are clearly down. He's scored in every game, and better, he's scored multiple touchdowns in every game but one. And, now he gets another favorable matchup, this time with Washington. For most of the year, the Redskins secondary has been brutal, but they did manage a good game against Tony Romo last Sunday night. Still, I don't believe the Redskins secondary is much better than what we saw in the prior games, and I'm starting Cutler with confidence.
Week Six Analysis:
Jay Cutler has never been more fantasy relevant. He's passed for multiple touchdowns in four of five games. He's topped 300 yards in back to back games for the first time in 52 games. And, now look, he faces the Giants. He's never posted three straight 300 yard games, and it's a very real possibility. Two of New York's opponents have topped 300 passing yards. And, only one team has allowed more passing touchdowns than the Giants. Normally, you have to sweat Jay Cutler getting sacked into a woozy, mistake-prone, profanity-laced game. But the Giants are managing just one sack per game, the worst total in the league. So, Cutler should be upright throughout, and he'll continue to find his many targets including emerging wide receiver Alshon Jeffery.
Week Five Analysis:
Most of last week's game was a mess for Jay Cutler, but he rallied at the end and finished with 317 yards, 2 touchdowns and 3 interceptions. If you're in a league that penalizes heavily for turnovers, Cutler may never grace your starting lineup. He's turned the ball over 95 times in his last 60 games. If not, he's probably bordering on a top 10 play under this new offense. This week I'm not super optimistic as he faces a revitalized Saints defense. Since Rob Ryan took over as defensive coordinator, the Saints have held three of the four quarterbacks they've faced to fewer than 200 yards and held every opponent to 17 or fewer points.
Week Four Analysis:
Even though he didn't light up the box score last Sunday night, for the first time in his career, I'm ready to say that Jay Cutler feels like a dependable fantasy starter in most matchups. Thank you, Marc Trestman! Sure, he doesn't have massive upside. After all, he's hit three touchdowns just once since way back in 2010. But he's never been dependable until now, so he's making strides. Detroit's secondary looks improved, allowing just two passing scores all year. But based on the three wobbly offenses they've faced, I'm not sold that this defense is as good as their stats. Cutler feels like safe play.
Week Two Analysis:
I was impressed with Jay Cutler's game last week against a very good Cincinnati pass defense. He got better as the game went on, and Marc Trestman's calls got gutsier as he learned to trust his offense. I like his chances of improving on his 242 yard, two-touchdown performance as he faces a far inferior Minnesota secondary this week. The Vikings allowed very big game to Matthew Stafford last week, and looked highly beatable. Even though Jay Cutler didn't do much in last year's meetings with the Vikings, I like him a lot more in his new offense, and against a secondary adapting to life without Antoine Winfield.
With the addition of quarterback guru Marc Trestman as the Bears head coach, Jay Cutler is officially out of excuses. Trestman is a clinician, proven capable of remolding quarterbacks. He'll ask Cutler to execute an up-tempo, quick-read offense. Cutler will take short dropbacks, and quickly distribute the ball. The Bears offensive line was once again addressed via the draft and free agency with the additions of first rounder Kyle Long and the acquisition of Jermon Bushrod. That will certainly help keep Cutler upright, and ongoing problem for him since arriving in Chicago. All of this will make Cutler more efficient. But, it's fair to wonder if all of Trestman's short, timing route stuff will end up making Cutler a fantasy point producer.

You may have seen that the US Supreme Court (SCOTUS to us law school grads) denied the suit of one SC (South Carolina) against the other SC (Southern Cal) for the right to use the "SC" logo on moneymaking sports merchandise. Technically SCOTUS declined to hear the case (denied certiorari), so the ruling by the lower court of appeals stands -- the only Trogan win of the week.
It would have been much more entertaining had SCOTUS accepted the case. The ruling and opinions would be:
PER CURIAM. The order of the lower court is upheld, and Southern Cal retains the trademark. The members of this Court unanimously agree in this ruling, but each has a different reason, as stated in the concurring opinions.
ROBERTS, C.J. Because I look for narrow rulings wherever I can, I do not agree that only one "SC" could conceivably have a legitimate right to use the logo. However, for purposes of collegiate football, only one "school" is recognized by the NCAA for unparalleled rule breaking, including highest player payments, and is unique in having a championship rescinded, a Heisman returned, and its former coach hawking a book on how to compete forever as he briskly slips out of town. No other college football entity may be permitted to cash in on this SC's ill-gotten gains.
SCALIA, J. Principles of federalism normally conflict with more recent notions of "interstate commerce." However, since Southern California is a state unto itself and, at the same time, a multinational corporation heavily involved with the Arab sovereignties among others, this Court does have jurisdiction. And that state should clearly prevail over South Carolina, which is merely an instrumentality within a state.
KENNEDY, J. International law, particularly of our esteemed European colleagues, influences us to proclaim enlightened values in all instances. The weight of world opinion is that there is only one SC entity that personifies contemptible America, and that is the one from my home state.
THOMAS, J. The authors of the Constitution included representatives from one SC, South Carolina, and could never have conceived of the monstrosity represented by the subsequent SC, South Central. But they promulgated immutable property rights, so the richer of the SCs must prevail.
GINSBURG, J. As a long time champion of gender equity, it distresses me to the utmost to review a case involving the institution of OJ Simpson, Rey Rey, Matt Leinart, Mark Sanchez, and so many others. Nonetheless the rights of free speech must be ever guarded, even where that speech is offensive (as, for example, Pete Carroll's generally is). Also, I used to be on the payroll for Planned Parenthood, so I always promote Trojans. So the judgment in favor of the deplorable defendant should be upheld.
BREYER, J. Interpretation of the Constitution evolves as society evolves. Evolution happens somewhat more slowly at the SCs. Reasonable extrapolation of the intentions of the authors of the original document implies that since immoral corporations and corrupt unions have the right to commercial speech, so must the immoral and corrupt non-Harvard of Los Angeles.
ALITO, J. The Constitution makes clear statements about criminal law, in which one SC is manifestly proficient. It also reserves all unenumerated rights to the states, including the right to determine ownership of the pejorative title "SC". As determined below, it belongs to those who most deserve it.
SOTOMAYOR, J. I have empathy for all parties, though I must confess that for this defendant it is particularly hard to do so. A wise woman would make better decisions than the Sample-Garrett-Carroll-Floyd cartel. The lowly-regarded of our society need special assistance, so the balance must be in favor of those who have recently suffered at the hands of the NCAA.
KAGAN, J. Having a background in leadership of an elite educational institution, I am acutely aware of the chasm between institutions of higher learning (such as UCLA) and "football factories." It is quite shocking that the very first case I participate in on this noble Court is a football factory dispute. It can only go up from here. There are no intellectually interesting points at issue here, so the decision below should be upheld.

I made these with ALL whole wheat pastry flour and they are delicious!!! We gobbled them down. They will make a nice snack to have during the week.
Reviewed Jan. 22, 2011
These muffins were very easy to make-very moist. I wanted a little more WW flour so I added 1/2c extra WW and subtracted 1/2c of Reg flour. I also doubled the amount of nutmeg, just in case the extra WW over powered the spice-I think it was still a delicious hint of spice. These muffins were so light that I will probably try the recipe with all WW flour next time.

Biggest Brazil protests so far planned for Rio tonight
The Spain v Tahiti Confederations Cup match at Rio's famous Maracana stadium is set to be overshadowed by a massive protest planned by Brazilians who have been staging demonstrations around the country over a host of grievances.
Police insist they will not allow protesters to disrupt the game but tonight's fixture is expected to see the most volatile clashes yet thanks to increasing mobilisation from organisers using social media.
This is despite Brazil's two biggest cities, Sao Paolo and Rio, revoking an increase in public transport fares which had initially sparked the unrest.

When the power went out at the Superdome the creative team behind Oreo weren't the only ones with a clever response.
NBC's official Twitter account for its show Revolution sent out a few well-timed tweets to coincide with the blackout.
The show, from creator J.J. Abrams, takes place in a world without electricity.
Just a taste of what's to come on March 25. #LightsOut #Revolution

Moguls roll past Lions in rematch, 55-13
POSTED: 11:45 PM Dec 07 2012 UPDATED: 11:17 AM Dec 08 2012
Senior Dee Paul and the Munday Moguls accomplished yet another tough task as they march towards the 1A division two state championship.
The Moguls defeated the Albany Lions 55-13. The win is even more impressive considering it's the second time the Moguls have convincingly beat Albany this season.
Dee Paul rushed for 315 yards, 4 TD, and passed for 70 yards and another score.
The Mogul defense held Albany Jake Bumguardner to a season low 63 yards on 22 carries.
Munday will face Wellingon in the 1A division two semifinals.

Four games and four weeks from today, Alex Len's suspension will be over, and we'll be adding some much-needed depth to the Terps' basketball team.
At 7'1", we've been hopeful that he'll have a significant impact on the Maryland front court right from the start. But just how effective do you expect the true freshman from the Ukraine be for the last two-thirds of the season? What should we look for to determine if he'll have the impact we all hope he has?
Will the lack of a true (pass-first) point guard limit his offensive contributions, or will his size provide a more inviting target for passes into the low post? Considering James Padgett has performed well - especially on the offensive boards - and Ashton Pankey has been a pleasant surprise, will Len's contribution (at least initially) be limited to a minute-eating role?

VOLLEYBALLER James Haythorne is hoping to book his place in the Asian Youth Volleyball Championships in September.
The Bendigo athlete is just one of 24 selected in the Australian Youth Volleyball squad.
He is set to attend a training camp in Thailand in March.
Haythorne said the three-week training camp was a stepping stone to making it to the championships, which will be held in Pakistan.
The Bendigo Academy of Sport athlete said only 12 volleyballers would be chosen for the championship.
"This is the year we compete in the youth championships, it is an important year, so it is really good to be selected again," Haythorne said.
The 17-year-old was also selected in the Australian squad last year.
"I went to Thailand last year but that was only for a week and a half, we are going for three weeks this time," he said.
"We will have a longer time to acclimatise to the environment.
"I know what to expect."
As part of the training camp, Haythorne will play against local teams in Thailand.
"We are invited to Thailand every year," he said.
"It is a tradition.
"The Thailand Volleyball Association love having us over there."

He spent his college years in the Magic City, and now Mitch Lunde is back and continuing his professional career. Lunde will be the new Minot Public Schools activities director starting next Monday. He was in the same position in Beulah for the past nine years and is looking forward to the new challenge.
"It's Minot High, I mean when you think of Minot High School, it's one of the best in the state and we're going to continue that tradition, and I look forward to being a part of that to make Minot High and Minot Public School District continue to be one of the best schools in the state of North Dakota," Lunde says.
Lunde will be faced with some challenges when he takes over the job next week. One of the issues he wants to tackle is making the internet Magi-fan friendly.
"You always want to be looking to improve and online, I think we can do a little more technology-wise from what I've seen, providing more information to patrons and fans and parents in all the activities, so that they know a little bit more information of what's going on in that technology aspect."
Lunde says he'll be in a less stressful position here in Minot.
Back in Beulah he was both the activities director and a school principal.

Just thought I would provide a link here to an interesting mock. The Lions are doing a mock draft on their website, which is pretty cool. They are doing it based off of fan votes so it should be interesting to see how things turn out.
I know this should be a fanshot, but I thought it was too cool to be lost in the mix. At least it is a different kind of spin and the ability to interface directly with the Detroit Lions in a mock.

In their introductory editorial essay for this special issue, David Grant and Gail Fairhurst have done us a great service by valiantly producing a "Sailing Guide" to the Social Construction of Leadership (Fairhurst & Grant, 2010). As with rounding the Capes, this is not a task for the faint of heart. A sailing guide is designed to provide vital knowledge about a particular sea or coast, providing us with charts, warnings about potential hazards and an indication where we might find safe havens in a storm. Their sailing guide does this to great effect as it skilfully "boxes the compass" by revealing all of the potential directions that one might set one"s sail by if one was sufficiently foolhardy to embark on a cruise of the social construction of leadership!

National Search for School Superintendent Tops State Board's Priority List
Posted: July 11, 2013
CHARLESTON, W.Va. - The West Virginia Board of Education took the first steps during its monthly meeting to begin a national search for the next West Virginia superintendent of schools.
"We believe our current superintendent is doing a good job," said Wade Linger, president of the West Virginia Board of Education. "Dr. Phares' evaluation shows he is leading our state's education system with vision and passion. However, we have indicated all along that as a board we wanted to conduct a nationwide search."
Several months ago the board asked the West Virginia Legislature to update state code to eliminate a section which required a state superintendent to have a degree in education administration. The code changes also included lifting the salary cap on the superintendent position.
More recently, the board reached out to the West Virginia Attorney General's Office to ask for guidance on hiring a search firm and the proper process for hiring a superintendent.
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey informed the board that he expects to have his staff available throughout the hiring process to answer questions related to ethics issues, confidentiality concerns and open meeting laws. He also expects to seek a formal bid to involve outside counsel with special expertise in the area of national searches.
Board members are currently working out the details related to the budget for the search and the timeline for the search.
For more information, contact Liza Cordeiro in the WVDE Communication Office at 304-558-2699.

This article originally appeared on BSR Insight.
One year after the launch of BSR's Center for Sustainable Procurement (CSP), our first research paper captures four main insights from projects with AT&T, Best Buy, and Dell that covered a range of product complexities and supplier relationships:
1. It's crucial to align the sustainable procurement strategy with the nature of the category and supplier relationships.
2. It's essential to involve the right players in the sustainable procurement discussion.
3. Companies pursuing sustainable procurement must establish a clear business case for purchasing more sustainable products.
4. It's best to start with what is measurable and scale up from there.
The CSP is developing tools and approaches for sustainable procurement that will benefit the wider network of companies interested in integrating this into their overall sustainability priorities. The pilot projects — conducted with BSR member companies selected based on their existing supply chain sustainability focus and a high level of buy-in for this work — examined how companies can make sustainable procurement decisions in specific product categories covering a spectrum of challenges:
- AT&T's fan belts for building mechanical equipment: This simple product can be substituted to improve energy performance and thus reduce costs. But in order to perform an upgrade, the company first must be internally aligned and understand the return on investment.
- Best Buy's in-store display units: This moderately complex category composed of several substitutable commodities (such as wood, wood composites, metals and plastics) can be changed to reduce costs if display units ultimately are redesigned for reuse. But doing so requires strategic supplier engagement to identify sustainable substitutions that still meet Best Buy's needs.
- Dell's notebook computers: This complex product can be redesigned to reduce embedded energy use over the total lifecycle of the device. But this requires management of long-term strategic relationships with a small number of key suppliers, called original design manufacturers (ODMs).
Lessons from the first year
We learned four main lessons from the three projects in our first year of work:
1. Align the strategy with the nature of the category and supplier relationship. In the case of a simple commodity for which many other options are available, efforts can be focused on establishing preferred business and sustainability specifications for a product, and then finding a supplier through a competitive bid process. But as products increase in complexity and the specifications become unique to the company, supplier relationships must become more strategic, and the focus should be on partnering with suppliers to build their capacity for producing products with enhanced sustainability characteristics.

Alright, here we go:
Pre-June 30th
Step 1: The good old standby, with a minor tweek. We trade Blake and Sergio to Chicago for Hinrich. This saves Chicago a lot of money, and they get to fill their backup PG spot at the same time with a more reasonable contract. Now, I'd expect Chicago to waive Blake after this trade and keep Sergio, since Blake is payed $4 million and Sergio is payed ~$1 million.
I moved Travis Outlaw to this trade to give Chicago the same flexibility. This is slightly overpaying for Hinrich now, but it's under the assumption that Chicago plans to not guarantee Blake.
Roster Change:
- Steve Blake
- Sergio Rodrigez
- Travis Outlaw
- Cap Space
+ Kirk Hinrich
Post-July 1st
Step 2: Waive rights to Frye, LaFrenz, Ruffin, Shavalik. This clears our maximum realistic cap of about $9.2 million.
Roster Change:
- Channing Frye
- Shavalik Randolph
- Michael Ruffin
- Raef LaFrenz
+ Cap Space
Step 3: We use the #24 pick to draft a backup PF, something like Hansborough, Mullins, etc.
Roster Change:
+ Rookie PF
Step 4: We do a S&T with Toronto. Webster, Cap Space and a 2009 2nd for Marion. (I expect people from both parties won't like this trade, but I think it's a definite improvement, and helps both teams.) Marion's contract would be something like 3-4 years, $25 million (~$8.3 million per). The thing I like about this for Toronto is that it gives them flexibility, rounds out some corners, and gives them value. Webster is both a shooter and defender... both things Toronto lacks. We also give Toronto about $4 million in cap space.
Roster Change:
- Martell Webster
- 2009 2nd Rounder
- Cap Space
+ Shawn Marion
Step 5: Sign both Roy and Aldridge to extensions. Roy at the max (unless for some reason he wants to take less to give the team flexibility... which incidentally isn't something I'd hope for, he deserves to get paid), and Aldridge at about $10 million per. This effectively kills capspace in 2010, but really, who was Portland going to get instead of Roy or Aldridge in 2010 anyway?
Roster Change:
- 2010 Cap Space
+ 2010 Brandon Roy
+ 2010 Lamarcus Aldridge
Step 6: Use our remaining cap to re-sign the recently waived Steve Blake to a 3 year $4 million per contract, with the fourth year unguaranteed (like currently). This would mean that at age 32, we'd basically have a team option on Blake. I expect a lot of criticism for this move, especially since it depends on Chicago waiving him after the trade (although that seems like a no-brainer to me with the trade I proposed), but I think this is a great move with the remaining cap space that is guaranteed to not make us worse, and is likely to make us much better. After this trade, we no longer have appreciable cap space.
Roster Change:
- Cap Space
+ Steve Blake
Step 7: We bring Ime Udoka back for the vet min (which you can do regardless of your cap). Ime was a fan favorite while he was here, is at worst an average defender, has plenty of experience, and would help round out the 3 spot really well.
Roster Change:
- Cap Space
+ Ime Udoka
Step 8: We bring over Joel Freeland to play in the US and fill some minutes at PF if needed. Most likely he'd spend next season in the D-League, but he has been solid in Europe this last year, showing marked improvement, and this could be our last year to bring him over. Serviceable big men will always be valued in the league.
Final Position for 2009 - 2010 season: After this series of moves, none of which I feel are far fetched, Portland would be in prime position to push for the ring next year, and every year after for quite some time. It also positions Portland with a very high quality team at a very cheap price.
The two trades, Hinrich and Marion, have been talked about, although I don't think I've seen the scenarios I outlined tried. Regardless, I like the look of this roster:
PG: Hinrich/Blake/Bayless
SG: Roy/Rudy/Udoka
SF: Marion/Batum/Udoka
PF: Aldridge/Marion/Rookie PF/Freeland
C: Oden/Przybilla/Aldridge/Freeland
All for about $59 million in 2009 and about $69 million in 2010.
Well, fire away.
Corrected for contract realities and CBA quirks.

All the buzz about the new Lifetime movie "Flowers in the Attic" has been making us nostalgic for books that we simply couldn't put down in our younger years. They may not have won any Pulitzers, but some of those classic young adult novels still hold up really well today.
How many of these classics have you read?
"Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret" by Judy Blume (Yearling, 1970).
Judy Blume made millions of adolescents feel less alone about the changes happening to their bodies and their emotions as a sixth-grader named Margaret confronts religious questions, the onset of her first period, the purchase of her first bra and feelings for boys.
Are you there, God? Judy Blume's book covers are changing!
"The Outsiders" by S.E. Hinton (Viking Press, Dell Publishing, 1967).
Written by a 16-year-old girl in her junior year of high school, this classic was controversial for its inclusion of gang violence, strong language and underage smoking and drinking. Today, though, it's part of the curriculum at many middle and high schools. "The Outsiders" explored the worlds of the greasers (outsiders) and socs (short for "socials," or people with money and privilege) in an unforgettable way.
"The Giver" by Lois Lowry (Houghton Mifflin, 1993).
"Sameness" — that's one way to avoid pain. Or is it? This children's novel examines the underpinnings of human society through a boy named Jonah, who must decide between a safe, consistent life within his community or an unknown — and potentially perilous — life involving knowledge and free will.
"Anne of Green Gables" by Lucy Maud Montgomery (1908).
In "Anne of Green Gables" we meet Anne Shirley, an 11-year-old orphan with red hair and a vivacious personality. She mistakenly gets sent to live with Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert, who intended to adopt a boy to help them out on their farm. An ahead-of-its-time girl power classic!
"Go Ask Alice" by Anonymous (Prentice Hall, 1971).
"Alice COULD BE ANYONE. Alice COULD BE SOMEONE YOU KNOW. Alice USES DRUGS." Served up as the diary of an anonymous 15-year-old girl who gets hooked on drugs, "Go Ask Alice" is as gripping a read today as it was in the '70s. The title comes from the Jefferson Airplane song "White Rabbit."
The "Sweet Valley High" series created by Francine Pascal (Random House, 1983).
Here are books so popular that they led to a main series as well as several spin-off series with more than 150 titles. The "Sweet Valley High" novels follow two identical twins in California, Jessica and Elizabeth Wakefield — and like any good soap opera, they got people hooked.
"A Wrinkle in Time" series by Madeleine L'Engle (Farrar, Straus & Giroux, 1962).
What's a "tesseract"? It's a "wrinkle in time," of course! In the opening novel in L'Engle's groundbreaking science fiction series, a young girl named Meg Murry searches for her scientist dad, who has gone missing while working for the government.
The "Harry Potter" series by J.K. Rowling (Bloomsbury Publishing and Scholastic Press, 1997-2007).
The seven fantasy novels in the "Harry Potter" series captivated generations of readers for a reason. It's impossible to put the books down. The books (and their counterpart blockbuster films) chronicle the saga of Harry and his friends at Hogwarts School as they struggle to overcome the machinations of the Dark Lord Voldemort.
"The Hunger Games" trilogy by Suzanne Collins (Scholastic Press, 2008).
Collins' books spawned such a reading frenzy, followed by Hollywood blockbusters, that they have joined the pantheon of classics. In these novels, we follow Katniss Everdeen, a 16-year-old girl in a post-apocalyptic world who must compete with other 12- to 18-year-olds in a televised battle to the death.
Which book is your favorite? What other books like these do you love and miss? Let us know in the comments!

LA CROSSE, Wis. (WXOW) - If Thursdays storm has left its mark on your sidewalks, pouring salt on the pavement can help.
The city of La Crosse provides a free salt and sand mixture for residents.
Putting salt on pavement helps the snow and ice melt, adding sand adds traction to the pavement and helps prevent falls.
Captain Todd Adams with the La Crosse Fire Department says "sidewalks get slippery, especially if it starts to run off and freezes again... so it's nice to have something to put down so you don't slip coming out of your back door, so people walking on your sidewalk don't slip and fall."
The free salt and sand mixture can be picked up at Fire Station 2, 3 and 4 and on Isle La Plume near the Niedbalski Bridge.
Firefighters advise bringing your own bucket and shovel.

Lesson Two
"I was born..."
One good way to begin thinking about
the passive voice is with this question: "Where were you born?" The
answer: I was born in ___________ (country). This very common question
is asked in the passive voice. In fact, it's the only way to ask it.
The verb "bear" means to have or to produce children. No one says,
for example, "Where did your mother bear you?"
This lesson is focused
only on where and when you were born, which you are frequently asked
in the U.S.
You were born in _______.

Democrat Sam Nunn has been making sounds that he will run in the 2008 general as an independent. He is a moderate, a skilled populist. A generally cool headed individual.
IMHO Sam is a different sort of centrist, that Joe Lieberman. Although both senators have crossed party lines on several occasions, Nunn has accomplished much in his career regarding National Security. So much so, in fact, that he was often discussed as a potential 2004 running mate for John Kerry, before John Edwards proved that "objects in the rearview mirror are closer than they appear".
Nunn is likely to change the political landscape of the south if the 2008 season starts up with him on the ticket as an independent. I am not sure how. But it will be different. He is popular in the red states. He's got a senate record spanning 24 years, he's a strongly independent voice and he's on the record being critical of the Bush administration - a stance that now plays widely. What do you think would happen if this Democrat, throws his name in the hat? Would it change the political landscape of the south?

I lived in New Mexico when I got out of college and in that twilight between college and grad school. In my chosen field that meant no money and even less exposure to the world at large. I had just spent the last three years of my life (a car accident laid me up in my freshman year) at the library.
The first thing that struck me about New Mexico, during Bill Richardson's tenure there, was that it truly seemed to be going places. Things just worked. The trains, for lack of a better expression, ran on time. We are not the most political animals fresh out of college (Jon Singer excluded) and so my introduction to politics came mostly from a small community on a high mesa. Being that my volvo kind of .. died.. there, I did alot of walking. In fact, I walked to Taos, NM. once. I got to walk past Indian Reservations. There are alot of intensely creative people in Santa Fe, Angel Fire and Taos. They don't always expect someone to walk up out of the desert and say hi. And where I was walking, you would meet the entire spectrum all the way down from the poorest of the poor to the most interesting artists, the most gentle and wonderful people and also I will be damned if not the most dangerous. There's something about the desert that really attracts the ... ahem.. where was I.. So of course, I used all of this political knowledge to lobby for a bike trail in my neighborhood here in Atlanta. (hey, it boosted my home value up like, 100 percent). So thats my political background in a nutshell.
Oh and while we're on the subject, I'm too lazy to listen to any campaign manager. These guys do send me mails, and have been sending me mail even some personally for the past six years but I tend to search out the mails written by members of the opposite sex then put the mail from the campaign manager off to the side there and "get around" to reading them. As in. Never.
And just so we're straight, in my home the term 'bush republican' is synonymous with the word 'bozo'.
And by that I don't mean republican, or conservative. After all, I'm writing from the perspective of a small businessman, broadcasting to you straight from the land of the conservative white man. Cobb County Georgia, USA. The place that brought you Bob Barr, Newt Gingrich, and Phil Gingrey. And the pajama clad bloggers that launched "Memogate" and ended the career of Dan Rather (as if). Phil was there at the cookout at my stables a month or so ago, and my horse didn't seem to mind him being there at all. So just so you know, my motto is. If it doesn't scare my horse. Then it doesn't scare me. In my six years of blogging, the one place that I appreciate most is MyDD. (boot licking toady comment follows). MyDD is +the+ most objective, cleanest political blog in the entire blogosphere and my absolute favorite place to hang out during +any+ election. This place doesn't reduce it all down to bullet lists. Being selected to author here on Thursday for what in my view, for the progressive candidate in the list this year, is a great honor, - and I'd like to thank all the people that I bludgeoned to near death, to make this possible. They say the bleeding stops in about two hours. I hereby warrant that no animals or young republicans were (permanently) harmed in the writing of this blog post.
Now, the reason I know Bill is the Progressive Candidate is that I have seen this four-time nominee for the Nobel Peace Prize, DNC Chair, Bill Richardson in action. New Mexico, under Governor Richardson - prospered. This is a personal statement for me as well. So I made my way down the torturously long list of candidates in this race (Clinton, Obama, Richardson, and Edwards) (did I miss anyone?) ... and I short listed Richardson from pure genetic memory.
Now part of it all for me is also First Debate. This is where the hunt begins. Sure enough, in the first real debate - the Moveon.org Town Hall - Richardson skies it. He blows past the field and leaps out of his startup tier. Thats what a dark horse does. At that debate I learned Richardson had the nerve to go for a complete withdrawal plan. No other candidate had that initiative. This was a moment for me. Its on youtube as well. It reminded me of that famous line - "What I want to know is, why are so many Democrats supporting George Bush's war in Iraq". Do you remember that one? That line changed American politics.
I call these types of moments "Black Swans". Moments you don't expect. It communicates to you tha the guy knows where he's going. It speaks of not only executive but diplomatic experience, the same kind that helped get North Korean nuclear talks back on track. Richardson locked me from that moment on. I think up until that point I was for a guy whose name began with the letter "O".. can't remember ... the memory is fading..
Now there are contrasts to Dean's insurgent campaign. The most apparent of which is that Richardson's politica ads are the best of the entire year. Actually in my view, the past ten years (I just don't go for pictures of wolves roaming around in the forest - you get a different perspective when you meet them there yourself). If you want to see any of these things, or for that matter, anything the Governor has been up to lately - just youtube "Bill Richardson". IMHO they're clever. They don't burn you out. Iowans like them. This is important if you want to get elected, and Richardson is precisely where John Kerry was in '04 in Iowa right now - the primary is front loaded in a way that is unprecedented (this is by design, to try to keep insurgents out)and thanks to candidates like Richardson and Edwards, its an open contest. We are so early in the season anything can happen amongst the top four.
In Bill Richardson, we have someone who has the experience, is willing to take a gutsy stand. He's got the right team to handle the media machine. So, thats the conclusion of this post. I am trying to state my assumptions and definitions here. All in all, I would call Bill Richardson the very definition of a dark horse candidate. What I really want to know is what you think about the governor. I am a kind of border collie watchdog. I will head out there and bring stuff back for you. Maybe more than you want. I plan to write about Bill's parallel to JFK (there are quite a few) and resume. But also the man. We seem to have a lot of "anti war" candidates this year - do we have any, "end the war" candidates? What do you think ?

Last night, Presidential hopeful Barack Obama reiterated once more that he does not take money from lobbyists:
OLBERMANN: Thirty seconds. Senator Obama, I know you and Senator Edwards have taken a firm stand against accepting money from lobbyists, yet you allow them to raise money for you and, as the phrase goes, "Bundle it." What's the difference between those things?
OBAMA: No, no. I do not have federal registered lobbyists bundling for me, just like I don't take PAC money. (APPLAUSE) And the reason that's important is because the people in this stadium need to know who we are going to fight for. And I want to be absolutely clear that the reason I'm in public life, the reason I came to Chicago, the reason I started working with unions, the reason I march on picket lines, the reason that I'm running for president is because of you... (APPLAUSE) ... not because of the folks who are writing big checks. And that's a clear message that has to be sent, I think, by every candidate.
Click here for full transcript.
While Obama's assertion is reality-based, he is dancing on a technicality, since several of his bundlers have recent histories that include lobbying. In April, Alex Bolton reported in The Hill that:
Three of Obama's top fundraisers, who each have raised more than $50,000 for his campaign since January, were registered as lobbyists last year, according to reports filed with the Senate Office of Public Records. In 2006, Alan Solomont of Solomont Bailis Ventures earned $90,000 in lobbying income; Tom Reed, of Kirkland & Ellis, lobbied for the Seismological Society of America, the Nanobusiness Alliance, and the Airport Minority Advisory Council; and Scott Harris, of Harris, Wiltshire & Grannis, represented Cisco Systems, Microsoft, Dell and Sprint-Nextel.
All three Obama fundraisers have said they are no longer lobbyists, although the public records office has not posted contract termination reports for any of them.
Several other major Obama fundraisers also have histories of lobbying government officials for a living. Thomas Perrelli was a lobbyist for Jenner & Block as recently as 2005. Until 2003, when Obama was a member of the Illinois Senate, Peter Bynoe was a registered state lobbyist representing Boeing and other corporate interests, according to the Illinois secretary of state. They have both raised at least $50,000 for Obama's presidential bid, according to his campaign.
In fact, at least five of Obama's disclosed bundlers have registered in the past with the Senate Office of Public Records. Three of them hadn't filed the normal paperwork indicating termination of their lobbying contracts, though Alan Solomont, Tom Reed and Scott Harris all told they Hill they had stopped lobbying.
(You can confirm the lobbying IDs with the Secretary of the Senate's lobbying database. For example: Alan Solomont; Tom Reed; Scott Harris. One of them, Thomas Perelli, of Jenner and Block, lobbied for victims of the August 1998 Africa embassy bombings. Which raises the point that many have made in comments that not all lobbyists are alike.)
The article went on to point out that some fundraisers for Obama are corporate officers of companies that hire lobbyists. At least 10 other major bundlers work for companies that have lobbied the federal government, including Bill Kennard of the Carlyle Group.
And late last week, the Los Angeles Times noted that Obama has taken in more than $1.4 million from firms with partners registered to lobby the federal government.
That total likely includes money brought in by two federal lobbyists who don't appear on Obama's "official" fundraising list. John Corrigan and Sanford Stein both had their personal donations to Obama returned, the LA Times reported. They also were asked not to help with fundraising, but not until after they had sent out emails for a fundraiser that helped Obama bring in $190,000 from Illinois donors between June 6 and June 11th. Did Obama return the money Corrigan and Stein helped to bring in? He hasn't said.
As today's Tom Paine article on the candidates' "Secret Santas" describes, the candidates are actually ALL being less-than-forthcoming about the details of their fundraising operations.
Public Citizen sent letters today to all of them calling on them to "put their mouths where their money is" and come clean on their bundling operations. It's a sad day when the Democratic hopefuls are disclosing less campaign finance information than did masters of secrecy Bush and Cheney in 2004.
You can find out what we do know about the presidential candidates' bundlers at www.WhiteHouseforSale.org and collect tips on bird-dogging the candidates on their poor disclosure of bundlers here.
Public Citizen, among others, is calling for a law to require disclosure of all bundling activity (and not merely by lobbyists, as in the recently passed lobbying and ethics bill). Relying on voluntary disclosure of information about bundlers makes us all too dependent on the whims of candidates.

This is an opportunity for anyone with concerns about federal recreational fisheries regulations to finally have their voice heard and play a role in shaping the future of recreational fisheries management. Three sessions are planned for Florida:
January 11, 2014
9 am – Noon
Destin Community Center 101 Stahlman Avenue
Destin, FL 32541
January 22, 2014

Recent Tahoe City Reviews
Loved the Mann house!
Rating Details: I was very satisfied with the condition of the vacation rental. I was very happy with the location. The vacation rental was spotless. The property manager was very helpful. Overall, I recommend this vacation rental. Reviewer Comments: I loved this house, a very casual 70's style house perfect for families and kids. This house is roomy, easy to keep clean and very comfortable. The house borders the forest so out the back door you go for miles and miles of hiking. I stayed for 5 days, would happily have stayed for 2 weeks. I loved my stay, and found everyone very helpful with the rental and stay. I will definitely go back and miss it already.
Relaxing, Beautiful, and Great Location
My wife and I spent a week here and really enjoyed it. It snowed on us twice in late April. We drove around the whole lake and believe Tahoe City is the best location to stay in Lake Tahoe. This house was perfect for our week-long trip and was conveniently located to everything we wanted to see. The view from the house is nice and we felt comfortable on those days when we stayed at the house all day. Thanks for letting us stay, Kate, and thanks for being available when we had questions during our stay!

Click image for a larger view (and see the "Big Apple" sign better)
I never really asked myself why New York City is also called "The Big Apple". Today I found the answer... At least a possible one.
I went to Harlem and walked around for a couple of hours. I happend to come across the "Uptown Saterday Nite" Festival which is part of the 2005 Harlem Week. Nothing sensational but on the corner of 135th Street and 7th Avenue I noticed this old red building with a sign showing an upside down apple saying "The Big Apple". I took a photograph and went on.
After coming home I did a little research on the internet, looking for this particular sign in Harlem. That's how I found out about the history of this sign and New Yorks nickname.
In the 1920's Jazz musicians picked the term "Big Apple" up from horseracing people who considered New York races and gigs to be where the big money was. Since a horse, up for a big purse in New York City, can't get paid off in big money himself, the lingo promised him a big apple. At this time a night club opened in Harlem called "The Big Apple". Some historians think that New Yorks nickname may have come from this long forgotten club. The club is gone, the sign, with its upside down apple, is still there.
For another theory you may want to read this article from the Society for New York City History.

5:07 PM Eastern
It's funny, if you look just at the scoreboard, you could very well come to the conclusion that Jesse Litsch pitched worse today than Jo-Jo Reyes pitched yesterday – that's why they call it baseball, I guess.
Litsch was terrific against a tough Boston squad, save for one rather large swing. The Red Sox used the old "two bloops and a blast" offense in the bottom of the second and – the way Boston starters dominated the Blue Jays' bats this weekend – that was enough.
It started with one out, when Jed Lowrie hit a looper that appeared to be headed into the stands on the third-base side. So much so that Jayson Nix took a look at it and didn't even bother to chase. The wind took the ball, though, and not only blew it back onto the field of play, but blew it fair – Lowrie (who had given up on it, too) wound up at first with a single. J.D. Drew followed with a liner to centre for a single, then Jarrod Saltalamacchia got just enough of a Litsch offering to just get it by a diving Aaron Hill for an RBI single. Jacoby Ellsbury was next, and he simply murdalized a get-me-over 2-0 fastball – the blast to deep, deep right field gave the Red Sox a 4-1 lead and they were never headed.
After the homer, Litsch settled down and retired 13 Red Sox hitters in a row, giving up a couple of unearned runs after a Jayson Nix error extended the 6th inning.
In the overall, he gave up four earned runs on seven hits in six innings, walking one and striking out five. He threw 97 pitches to get 18 outs, compared to the 94 pitches Reyes threw yesterday to get his nine. Again, Litsch retired 13 in a row at one point – Reyes' high water-mark on that score yesterday was three.
It went from bad to worse with Shawn Camp coming out of the bullpen in the 8th to give up a double, hit a guy and walk another. A very unCampic performance, and Adam Lind's first error of the season didn't help him, but by then it was too late.
The Blue Jays had their chances, but didn't get a hit with a runner in scoring position and when they had a chance to strike in the 8th, ran themselves out of the inning. Granted, it was 6-1, but rookie Felix Doubront was on the ropes, having walked Corey Patterson and Adam Lind around a fly out by Jose Bautista. The tying run was on deck with Doubront facing Aaron Hill, who seems to have found his swing at Fenway, but Patterson thought he had the kid's timing down and took off to steal third while Doubront was still holding the ball in his stretch. The lefty spun on the rubber, stepped off and easily nailed Patterson at third to take a lot of the air out of the rally.
The Blue Jays did score their only run of the ballgame with a bit of derring-do. Hill was on third and Juan Rivera at first (yes, he reached base, it's true) with two out in the second and Jayson Nix at the plate. Rivera took off for second, drew a throw from Saltalamaccchia and stopped running as Hill raced for the plate. The Red Sox chose to resolve the rundown and allow Hill to score. It wasn't quite Rick Leach intentionally falling down halfway between first and second, but it was a neat little play nonetheless. Sadly, that was it – the Blue Jays scored a grand total of two whole runs over the weekend.
Here's today's brief edition of The JaysTalk, for your listening pleasure:
Tomorrow, it's the finale of both the series and of the season's first road trip. A win would get the Jays a split at Fenway and leave them 4-6 for the trip, which isn't bad at all. Ricky Romero takes the mound for the good guys against Boston's struggling 5th starter Daisuke Matsuzaka. It's Patriots Day in Boston, so we'll be on the air at 11:00 AM Eastern for an 11:05 first pitch – join us, won't you?

How come the jays can't catch the ball this year. Errors,passed balls, they're killing us.- daddohj
You're on the money re comparison between Jo Jo and Jesse in terms of quality of performance. Jesse got rattled by the give up on Lowrie's hit.
Overall, a shoddy day by the Jays: baserunning was too over the top (Snider get caught off first, Patterson at third I like his hustle), Lind error at first and JP lets a couple balls by. And you're right re Nix at third and errors. But please keep Lowrie in minors for a while.
Defence not as strong as last year.
Maybe they can tie it up tomorrow on Marathon Monday, Patriot's Day.- Grant Carter
Hi Mike:
Casey Janssen started in the past and was good (at least, he looked good to me). Any possibility he takes the 5th starter from Litsch? Litsch has a great attitude on the mound but lacks the stuff to be a great starter in MLB; Janssen has much better tools and a similar attitude. What do you think?
MW: I'm not sure Janssen has better stuff than Litsch does, but I think it's been long since decided that Janssen's shoulder won't hold up to starting, much like Dustin McGowan's. Zack Stewart will be the 5th starter soon anyway.- John
I thought Litsch was terrible against Seattle, and really good today. You wouldn't know it just looking at the lines though. Today he was quite sharp, worked fast, kept the ball down, threw strikes. He was victimized by a few bloopy hits and some shoddy defense. If he throws the ball like this all season he'll have a good year.- Flaming Moe
Why must Jays fans always have to hate somebody. Now its Rivera and Frasor. Before that Tallet, Overbay and Wells all had there turns.- ktf
Actually the 3 run homer made it 4 to 1.
Jay from Saskatoon
MW: It's true – fixed.- ktf
Really enjoy your blog entries and look forward to them MW.
Farrell has been doing a great job of trying to help his team manufacture runs. Unfortunately, the pitching has dropped off a bit and the hitting just hasn't been timely. We're missing the dingers and failing to put up the Ws.
Let's hope we don't become the medicine for struggling teams all season like we did with the Ms and the Sox.
@ktf – Farrell has been giving Rivera every chance to turn things around. He's got the big contract and is going to be the subject of controversy if he doesn't produce (as was the case with Wells)- Bird is the Word
Gotta say Mike, I much preferred the MikedUp live format last year. The reason I come around it more to hear what people like you and Shi have to say.
The Rivera bashing, Litsch demoting, Snider doubting just seem to go on and on and on. I think its better when these endless strings of comments are moderated out.
Always enjoy your blog and twitter feed, though! Have a good one, may DiceK find his velocity in May, and not before.- Greg W
he gave up 6 earned runs according to the mlb, no?
MW: No. There was a scoring change during the game that took two earned runs away.- nicholas laffin
I think Shawn Camp's 4.40 career ERA is more indicative of his true talent level than his 2.99 era last year.
I like Litsch a lot more than Reyes. I think Litsch will be fine if they just leave him in the rotation. He could use a better defence though. The Jays are good up the middle but their corner outfielders are not very good defensively and 3B is a disaster.
I hope the fascination with Jayson Nix wears off soon. The guy has a .676 career ops and he's not a good fielder. He's not even a good platoon guy – his ops last 3 years vs lefties .716. If EE is away you might as well just put Mcdonald in there. Not sure why they have Nix on the roster. Doesn't make much sense to me.
MW: They have seen something they really like in him, so they're taking a look. Doesn't cost them anything. That's what this year is about.- jmaron
Really, Morrow, Drabek, and Romero are the only starters that have it to be successful in the AL East and any future playoff scenarios. Litsch is an average pitcher with average stuff and I can't see him having many big game performances against Yankees or Sox.
And Luis Rivera is another Brad Wilkerson. Just about
MW: You mean Juan Rivera. But you should go back and take a look at how Litsch has done against the Red Sox and Yankees in the past.- Will
Hi Mike
Tough outing for Litch yesterday – one bad pitch and that was all she wrote.
A question on sliding to first base – I saw Escobar did it, Alomar used to do it as well and if I am not mistaken, Josh Hamilton did it as well that resulted in an injury. My question to you is – Does sliding to first base make sense, especially head first. Do you get to the base faster?
MW: You get to the base faster if you dive straight into the bag without ever touching the ground. Once your body starts to slide along the ground, you're slowing down.- francis
I listened to the ball game yesterday and knew just knew that Ellsbury was going to get a hit (I didn't predict a homerun) because there's one word to describe Boston. Opportunistic.- gary carr
So much for the Red Sox worst 2-10 start to the season. I was worried the Jays might be the tonic for what ailed them and now we have to hope Dice K continues to be erratic and the Jays can earn a split.
That was a nasty game but I'm loving the continued Blue Jay aggression on the basepaths.
Lawrie hitting .442 in AAA. Looking forward to seeing him later his year, maybe late May. You really want it to be the right time for him, not the fans.
MW: Exactly correct!- Gary
Hi Mike
With a little effort could Rivera not have kept that rundown going a little while to increase the chance of the Sox making an error? Do you think it mattered?
I don't know about you but everytime I look at this guy his effort seems sub par. No question about his talent but an athlete without desire is not one I want to watch on my favorite team, even in a bit role.
MW: I think you, along with many others, are confusing lack of footspeed with lack of desire.- Slingshot
Now that Morrow and Francisco are returning to the Jays this week, please, no more Jo-Jo Reyes. He is the anti Roy Halladay and it's excrutiating watching him try to pitch a baseball game.
Even if they have to bring up Scott Richmond or Zach Stewart from the minors, – the team should just do anything to avoid inflicting Reyes on fans again.- Anonymous
It is time to standardize the MLB playing fields. This does not mean that all Stadiums must look alike. If the NFL can do it so can the MLB.
Fenway park is a JOKE. I don't care how much lipstick you put on that pig, it is still a pig.
Tear down Fenway and build a real MLB stadium.- ScoobyBP
I know what is going to irritate me most this season. The endless media cheer leading about how the base stealing by the Jays is making them so much better.
It's such nonsense. So the Jays lead the league in steals with 21 – but they have been caught 6 times. That's a decent percentage (77%). But stats have shown that 75% is break even. So what have they gained a run or two?
If the Jays keep sending the likes of Aaron Hill, Snider and Nix as often as they have that percentage will almost assuredly drop and the base running will be a net negative. But to hear the media you would swear this base stealing is the biggest improvement in the Jays in 20 years.
I of course do not include you Mike when I refer to the media. I know you understand how overrated stealing bases is unless your a Ricky Henderson or Tim Raines. And, even then – that's not what made those guys great players. It was their ability to get on base.
That's my rant for today.
MW: Good rant, but as long as the Blue Jays continue to be smart about the running game, it's a good thing. There's no guarantee that as long as they pick their spots well, the percentage will drop.- jmaron
I for one would be patient with Jesse Litsch. Once Morrow is swapped for Reyes, you should be really pleased with a 5th starter that can eat some innings and give you a .500 record.
Litsch can do that with some run support in my opinion.- Gary

Police in Cary don't know who it is that they arrested on drug charges last week.
The man, who has been in custody at the Wake County jail since Dec. 21, refuses to provide police or jail officials with his name, said Capt. Dave Wulff of the Cary Police Department.
"He just won't tell us," Wulff said.
Police have dubbed the mystery man John Doe and hope that someone recognizes him and can provide them with a name.
Doe was arrested Dec. 21 after he and another man led police on a chase in and around the Holly Springs area, according to police accounts. Cary police detectives were conducting a drug investigation and were waiting for two men to drop off a shipment of 10.5 pounds of marijuana, which has an approximate street value of $21,000, Wulff said.
The two men didn't drop off the drugs, so Cary police -- along with deputies from the Wake County Sheriff's Office -- tried to pull the two over, and a chase ensued, according to Wulff and Phyllis Stephens, spokeswoman for the Sheriff's Office. The two were finally stopped, arrested and charged with conspiracy to traffic marijuana, Wulff said.
The other arrested man also initially refused to provide his name, but fingerprints taken after a prior arrest showed that he was Gary Courtney Fitzgerald, 38, of Fuquay-Varina. Fitzgerald remains in custody at the Wake County jail in lieu of $177,000 bail.
Police ran Doe's fingerprints through databases of arrested persons but found no matches, Wulff said.
"It'd make things a lot easier if he told us who he was," Wulff said. "You do have to tell us who you are."
A reward is being offered to those who provide information about the real identity of John Doe. Anonymous calls can be made to Cary CrimeStoppers at 226-2746, or Wulff can be reached at 469-4017.

|Problem with inside panorama
Marcel Klip
Posted: Mar 6, 2012Total Posts: 2
Hi guys
Need your help
Im using the Gigapan Epic Pro for my panorama's, the Gigapan works outside fine but when i shoot inside a house or a building the stitching sucks.
you can find an example here http://gigapan.org/gigapans/c740208cb984e4226a4…
How can is resolve this problem
Rick Unland
Posted: Mar 7, 2012Total Posts: 2
The problem you are having is due to the Lens not rotating around the NPP or Non parallax point. This is the point on the lens you need to place over the rotation point of the GigaPan.
Normally when doing panoramas indoors you would use a wide angle lens and a manual panoramic head (see Nodal Ninja). This allows for a greater depth of field and also less errors due to parallax. The closer objects are to the lens the greater the parallax error exhibited upon stitching. If you have to use a GigaPan indoors then find a lens focal length that will provide you with the highest resolution in the stiched image that can still be moved when mounted into the GigaPan to rotate over its NPP. otherwise look into a Nodal Ninja.
Good Luck

Is your test image a full 360?
As Rick noted, the GigaPan Stitch program has an issue with straight lines. Setting the camera/lens combination at the NPP can help overcome this problem. There should be a chart in the GigaPan Epic Pro handbook that shows how to set the NPP. If that does not correct the stitching issue, try stitching the frames using AutoPanoGiga (Kolor Labs), and their GigaPan import tool. APGiga has tools to better align image pairs. It takes some practice, but the pre rendering tools are usually most helpful. If the focal length of your lens is too wide, then the camera mounting plate of the Epic Pro will get in the way (a fix is possible, but not forthcoming in any time soon (ASFIK).

AVON — Winter generally isn't conducive to car racing. But you can still feed your need for speed in an indoor setting during the dead season.
Ron and Barb Tomasik opened Fast Tracks Raceway here at the beginning of 2012. It features an oval race track that's 110 feet in length and a drag strip, both for miniature slot cars. Ron has been involved in racing in one way or another for most of his life. He even ran stock cars at one point.
"This has always been the thing I migrate back to," Ron said of slot cars.
They've been around since the 1960s, but their popularity has ebbed and flowed over the years. Currently Fast Tracks is the only commercial slot car facility in the area. There's one in Evansville, one in Richmond, and a couple in Fort Wayne.
Many of Fast Tracks' customers are unfamiliar with slot car racing their first time there.
"A lot of people have seen the home sets you can buy at places like Walmart," Ron said. "They've never seen one on a commercial scale."
At this point they have a lot of regular customers, but there are still new faces all the time.
"People stop in who've talked to other people and want to see what it's about," Barb said.
What they'll see are little plastic cars zipping around a track at 50 to 60 mph. And that's just the basic model. Another of Ron's cars, with a see-through body, appears to run twice as fast. In fact, he calculated it at 138 mph once, though he figures it's a little slower now.
"You should see it when there are eight of those together on a track," Barb said. "You have to pay attention to your lane, not your car."
