When it comes to filling big shoes, let's just say Kinston High boys basketball fans better hope Perry Tyndall has big feet.
The first-year head coach and longtime assistant for the Vikings knows expectations are high for a team that returns five guys from a roster that won a state championship in 2012 — the team's third in six years.
"I'd be lying if I said I didn't feel a little bit of pressure," said Tyndall, who will take over one of the most coveted jobs in prep basketball following coach Wells Gulledge's departure after 11 years.
"When you've got good players that work hard, ultimately it makes the coach's job a whole lot easier," Tyndall said.
In Tyndall, the Vikings have a coach who never lost a game in three years as a middle school and junior varsity head coach — a bit of trivia Tyndall downplays at every turn.
"It's like I say all the time: If I'd have lost, I'd need to be fired," he said. "With the talent I had, you're supposed to win."
He might as well be talking about this year's Vikings who, despite losing nine seniors to graduation and another starter in Andrew Lopez who transferred out of state, will have a bull's eye painted squarely on their backs as the defending state champions once again.
The Vikings, who finished 27-4 last year and open this year at home against North Lenoir on Nov. 21, aren't making things easy on themselves. The team lost in the semifinals of the East Coast Invitational in Jacksonville this summer and will play a demanding non-conference schedule featuring home games against perennial 4A powers New Hanover and Raleigh Millbrook, as well as a home-and-home series against 3A West Craven.
"My philosophy is that having a tough schedule pays dividends later in the year," Tyndall said. "We've always scheduled tough, and our conference is good. Every year, it's challenging. You benefit from it. You want to see your kids in tough situations."
The team returns four players who contributed to the Vikings' success in 2012: senior combo guards Denzel Keyes and Josh Dawson and sophomores Darnell Dunn and Brandon Ingram, the latter of whom is already receiving considerable attention on the national recruiting trails. Seniors VeQuain Joyner and Jeremy Taylor, junior Travon Jones and sophomore Mykel Hart will join the varsity squad after spending time at the junior varsity level a year ago.
"Even though we had a lot of senior leadership leave, we have high expectations," Tyndall said. "We've got experience coming back for sure with five guys on the roster from last year that went to the state championship."
Tyndall isn't focusing on what the team lost (2012 graduates C.J. Bradshaw, Nakeil Williams, Angelo Keyes, Kyle Brown and Lopez). Rather, he is looking to the future and what this year's team will bring to the table.
"We've never really been built on one player, even when Reggie was here," Tyndall said, referring to former McDonald's All-American and 2010 N.C. Gatorade Player of the Year Reggie Bullock, who is currently a junior at UNC. "That's the beauty of our success. On any given night, you could have anybody step up. We don't have to rely on one person."
Senior Denzel Keyes, for example, led the team in rebounding last year and averaged a double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds per game. Keyes said it would be different playing without his older brother beside him for the first time.
"I'm going to have to control the paint more by myself," he said. "I'm going to miss him, but we've got to get out there and practice, listen to details and play defense like we did last year — and box out."
Keyes, like Tyndall, doesn't foresee a multitude of changes for the Vikings, other than a "new wrinkle here and there," as Tyndall put it.
"We'll have a lot of energy," Keyes said. "Run and gun."
Something else that won't change is the team's yearly goal of playing in the final game of the season.
"When you have the success we've had, it becomes tradition," Tyndall said. "You shoot for (a state championship). You need a few breaks along the way, but you know what it takes to get there. Those sophomores got a taste of it last year, and everybody wants to be able to experience it again."
No one has more experience playing in — and winning — state championship games than senior Josh Dawson, who was part of the championship teams in 2010 and 2012.
The senior guard averaged 14 points, six assists and five rebounds per game a year ago, but he doesn't get caught up in any individual numbers.
"There's not a heavy weight on my shoulders," he said. "I have a lot of hard-working teammates who will also contribute. My only goal this year is to lead my team to a state championship."

You might be familiar with best-selling author Amy Stewart's books: "Flower Confidential," "Wicked Plants" and "Wicked Bugs." You can add to your collection with "The Drunken Botanist" at drunkenbotanist.com or amazon.com.
If you're the type of drinker who counts tequila as a vegetable in building your food pyramid, you're not that far off the mark.
Not that alcohol is a meal for most, but because booze is entirely plant-based.
Except for the occasional stray insect and a genus that bridges the gap between plant and animal – the fungi – you can look to barks, berries and seeds for the bulk of spirits known to the world.
New York Times best-selling author Amy Stewart explores the plant kingdom's contribution to alcohol in "The Drunken Botanist: The Plants That Create the World's Great Drinks."
The book lures you along alphabetically, beginning with the plants that make the base alcohols: agave, grains and grapes.
"Any plant that produces sugar can be fermented with yeast," Stewart said. "Alcohol is simply the waste product."
Sugar in and alcohol out seems simple enough.
But to Stewart's thinking, a mixed drink such as a Manhattan becomes a complex garden. It starts with the whiskey's corn or wheat base, the oak it is aged in, the grapes used for the splash of vermouth, the roots and seeds in the Angostura bitters and the final ingredient, the cherry.
Cocktail recipes are offered throughout the book.
The middle chapters provide a peek at the herbs and spices that enrich the bases.
"Gin is essentially vodka with a juniper berry flavoring," Stewart said.
We can thank the Dutch for this flavor infusion, although like most of today's alcohol, the ingredients can trace their roots to medicinal cures and tinctures.
"Rum drinks were an early part of naval medicine," Stewart said. "The ship's captain would add rum to the drinking water to kill off bacteria. And a squeeze of lime prevented scurvy."
Thus the daiquiri was born on the rough seas.

Great location, especially if you're wanting to go out every night. Very central, easy walk to the Water Front, and close to markets. The staff were brilliant, allowing me to shower when I arrived even though it was before check in, and I had an issue with my bank card and contacting my bank, but Enrico was great in trying to help me. Couldn't have a better stay.

OMB delaying budget passback guidance, creating uncertainty
Thursday - 12/20/2012, 5:37am EST
The fiscal 2014 budget is on hold.
Agency officials across the government have not received budget passback documents and likely will not until the White House and Congress agree on deficit reduction steps or both parties give up and let sequestration take place.
An Office of Management and Budget official confirmed in an email to Federal News Radio the administration "has held off on passbacks to agencies to determine if adjustments will be needed based on the current negotiations. No decisions have been made at this point regarding budget timing."
OMB traditionally sends passback, or budget guidance, which includes both actual spending numbers and policy guidance for the current and upcoming fiscal year, right around Thanksgiving. But several long-time senior agency leaders said they can't remember a time when OMB held up the communications this long.
OMB did provide agencies with initial planning guidance in May, but nothing since departments submitted their spending requests to the White House in September.
One former OMB official, who requested anonymity, said in the past the White House would try to give agencies draft guidance in the fall so they would know the administration's thinking and could offer comments before OMB finalized it.
More information sought
The OMB official said they asked agencies for additional information and analysis after September to update the estimates in the Sequestration Transparency Act report. The administration is using the data to finalize calculations of the spending reductions that would be required. The request was of a technical nature. For example, OMB requested the sequestrable federal administrative expenses in otherwise exempt mandatory accounts.
James Capretta, fellow, Ethics and Public Policy Center
"The fact they have a six month continuing resolution has made it difficult to get planning done. The fact they now are still not really clear where they will end up with their 2014 request makes it difficult to plan. The fact they still are not quite sure if they are going to get this 10 percent 2013 across the board cut or not makes it difficult to plan," said Jim Capretta, a former OMB budget official, who now is a fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center, a think tank in Washington. "Throw all that together into one year and you really have some really tremendous uncertainty. Shifting everything to the right in terms of the calendar means that some big decisions will have to be made in a very compressed time period."
Capretta's analysis is held by many senior federal officials, especially in the technology community.
For example, federal chief information officers are waiting OMB's guidance to better understand the next steps for technology modernization across government. Last year, OMB laid out the requirement for agencies to move two commodity IT functions to shared services and four other policy-related mandates.
Less time, more pressure
Several CIOs, who spoke only on the condition of anonymity because of the sensitive nature of pre-decisional budget information, said not having the IT passback guidance is increasing pressure on their agencies.
One CIO said the lack of passback guidance is adding to the pressures and uncertainty around 2013. The CIO said agencies are getting stressed about the lack of information and want some answers around the big question of whether the administration will delay the 2014 budget request to Congress.
The CIO said if they do it's a big deal, and if they don't, it's still a big deal too as it shortens the time for negotiations and appeals with OMB.
The OMB official said the White House hasn't made a decision about the timing of the budget.
Another CIO from a major agency said they aren't too concerned about the lack of OMB guidance because they know their 2013 budget is based on the continuing resolution, which is in place until March. And, the CIO said, their agency still holds high expectations for Congress and the White House to come to a final agreement on spending cuts.
A third CIO said they don't think passback will change their plans too much, but the fact that it's so late compresses the timeline in 2013 to move out on initiatives.
Finally, a fourth CIO said the lack of budget guidance and more broadly the fiscal negotiations is causing them to jump through additional hoops and spend a lot of time that could be used better elsewhere.
"Our challenges here are formulated by Congress not getting off their fannies and approving a budget by Oct. 1," the fourth CIO said. "We wouldn't be in any of these situations if they did that. When you add the sequestration, it is a major compounder to this entire problem. We are already under a CR, which is having an impact, and sequestration will cause us to go down a very different path. There will be breakage across our agency to get to the place where we are sailing smoothly. It's a very different trajectory than we are on now."
Even if the White House and Congress come to an agreement in the next two weeks, several CIOs say the compressed timeline will be tough to meet.
CIOs still in the dark
The fourth CIO said when their agency has days instead of weeks to turn around the passback, it's not only inefficient but it has a "Slinky effect" across the agency, where everything gets pushed back.
"It's a macro problem because this is Congress jerking the federal agencies around because of the unintended consequence of not getting their homework done," the CIO said. "One of the things that potentially will hiccup is some of the cyber efforts. It's like people having a big wave come through and trying to see what is left over. All the hot button IT items — cloud, mobile, data center consolidation — are impacted by this inefficient way of doing business."
Dan Tangherlini, acting administrator, GSA
Several CIOs also said OMB didn't provide even a little insight during the CIO Council meeting earlier this month.
The third CIO said they talked about shared services, the potential of IT reform legislation and other administration priorities, but no specifics about OMB's expectations for 2013 and beyond.
Beyond technology, the impact on agencies of the delay in budget guidance and the potential of sequestration is all about resources.
Dan Tangherlini, the acting administrator of the General Services Administration, said at a press conference last week that GSA is most concerned about how sequestration will impact its federal customers.
"Our planning is really responsive to the agencies we serve and try to get a better sense of how they are thinking about it. So one of the things we have been trying to do is establish a continual framework of communication around that for them, and seeing if there are ways we can help them manage their way through it," he said. "Most of GSA's activities are not directly impacted by sequestration, because they are really supported by fees or rent paid by agencies. It's those agencies, that original source of funds, that could be impacted by sequestration."
A glimmer of good news?
Capretta said with all these delays and unknowns because of fiscal negotiations, it's possible the 2014 budget could be even less relevant than usual.
On the other hand, he said agencies may be taking such a cautious approach with their budget planning that they may receive a little good news.
"If it turned out that 2013 was better than [planned for], then they at least would have probably additional resources rather than less going into 2014," Capretta said. "I think the big problem is to assume you will have some money and then not have it, and building a budget around some presumption that resources will be there and then some policy decisions come down that actually lead you not to have the resources. That's when agencies get themselves into an awful lot of trouble."
He added agencies have been planning and reviewing their budgets over the last few months, so they know most cuts likely will come from "lumpy expenditures," such as large programs where contracts could be delayed without harming the service to the citizens.
Capretta said the goal with any sort of budget reduction is not to harm the public so that means the back-office functions and administrative functions likely will take the biggest hits.
But he said no matter what happens with these fiscal negotiations, one thing is very certain.
"On the discretionary side where agencies get their budgets, I don't see any possibility of an increase. The caps already have been imposed under the Budget Control Act of 2010, those are 10 years worth of discretionary spending limitations. I don't see those caps ever going up. I think they are a ceiling," Capretta said. "If there is a budget agreement, in addition to tax and entitlement changes, there's a pretty good chance those caps would get lowered even further, not by a huge amount, but by some additional amount as part of a deficit reduction package."

Dog fighting is a huge problem, and sometimes it can seem that you can't do much to help as an individual. But there are a few things you can do to stop it now, and we really need your help.
Why? Take it from those of us who have seen dog fighting compounds first-hand: Life as a dog used for fighting is a nightmare.
They live chained up or in a tiny cage. They don't get the veterinary care they need. They die in the ring or are unceremoniously shot for losing. Some are used as "bait" for other dogs. Some have litter after litter. Some starve. Some go without water for days.
Odds are that dog fighting is happening in your state right now. We need your help to stop it. Give dog fighting victims three minutes of your time?
1. Ask your U.S. representative to support the Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act.
The Animal Fighting Spectator Prohibition Act, introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives on January 23, would make it a federal offense to knowingly attend an organized animal fight and would impose additional penalties for bringing children to animal fights. Violators would face up to one year in prison for attending a fight, and up to three years in prison for bringing a minor to a fight.
You can help the bill along by contacting your rep. We've made it easy at the ASPCA Advocacy Center, and we promise it only takes a few minutes, tops.
2. Download our new anti-dog fighting toolkit for citizen advocates.
If you're as horrified by dog fighting as we are, and you think you might want to commit more time to stopping dog fighting in the near future, download our new toolkit developed with the U.S. Department of Justice. It's got everything you need to know to get more involved. (We admit, actually reading it will take more than three minutes, but you get the idea.)
3. Fight Pit Bull prejudice via social media.
Pit Bulls and dogs who look like Pit Bulls get a bad rap because of their reputation as fighting dogs. Fight it by becoming a tireless advocate for them on your social networks. Start by posting the profile of a cute, adoptable Pit Bull-type dog on Facebook (we suggest Pet of the Week Champion) or sharing a happy tail about a Pit.
You can even share the story of a rehabilitated ex-fighting dog, like Ninja.
Oh, and of course, a bonus fourth thing you can do: Share this post on your social networks.
Easy, right? Together we can make a huge difference, and to the dogs who are suffering right now at the hands of fighters, it means the world.
To learn about a few more ways to fight back against blood sports, view our 10 ways to help end dog fighting and get educated about the issue on our dog fighting page.
On behalf of the dogs, thank you!
Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade!
By joining the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade, you will receive important alerts from us when we need your help to fight for laws against animals cruelty.
I'm seven years old and I'm wondering if you can help me on my report in school. So just tell me how animal rescue teams work and bye!
There is a facebook page called apbt gamedogs. They advertise bait dogs and talk about the dogs in fighting situations. I have reported the page, but I was hoping someone could investigate
this makes me sick to the core how could anyone get any thrill from two or more poor helpless dogs fighting til the death of one or dieing waiting for the next fight because of neglect i with no regret will say that i hate you if u are attending or hosting a dog fight you r a disgracegul human being with no respect for other life no matter what the body may be u shoul be ashamed of yourself if it were up to me i would sentence u to the most cruel sentence possible i wish more people would get invold in helping rather than sitting back and doing nothing or being involved in them im only 14 and i want to help with everything i can with this i can only pray to god to save those poor animals in need and do everything i can to help so will u all please pray with me for the end of animal cruelty?
i like how the aspca takw care of the animals and save their life
my aunt hears dog fighting in her area and has called the aspca and the pound and they do not do anything about this. she has animals being hurt there and reports to both and they still do nothing about it. i was trying to find a way to report it online to see if someone can do something about her local aspca not doing their jobs and helping the animals like they say they do. what am i suppose to do cause there is no where to report problems with people not doing their jobs. i have donated a lot of money every year and yet can not seem to get help for these babies.
One more matter imagine that the water was angry.

I discovered a dog fighting website (see below). I am contacting the ASPCA on this site to see how we can stop it. I hope you do too. Below is an example of a dog that was sent over to China to fight but you can see how many kennels breed for dog fighting.
My theory is, "shoot the human and put the dog out of its misery" in reference to dog fighting.

Lady Falcon Errors Add Up as UNCP Takes Pair of Wins over Softball
February 22, 2011
PEMBROKE, N.C. UNC-Pembroke claimed a sweep over Pfeiffer University with 3-1 and 2-0 victories in non-conference softball action on Tuesday afternoon at LRA Field. The Lady Braves move to 9-7 on the year while the Lady Falcons committed three errors in each contest falling to 2-8.
In the opener, Melanie Conklin started things off with a leadoff double in the first and later scored on Sarah Waylocks sacrifice-fly to center. UNCP responded in their half of the first with a RBI bunt single by Morgan Patrick. In the second, UNCP added an infield single by Schanique Barrett and a Patrick run-scoring double in the sixth to close out game one. Barrett led the Lady Braves with three hits in game one while four different Lady Falcons picked up a hit in the opening loss.
In the nightcap, UNC Pembroke scored late runs in the fifth and sixth frames to collect a 2-0 win. A dropped foul ball allowed Patricks fifth inning at-bat to continue resulting later in a double to left-center as she would eventually score on Courtney Hills triple to right-center. The Lady Braves tallied their second unearned run in the sixth on another Lady Falcon throwing error for the late insurance run. Hillary Jones paced UNCP offensively in game two with a pair of hits as did Conklin on the Lady Falcons side of the lineup card.
Pfeiffer will get back on the diamond on Friday traveling to Johnson C. Smith in Charlotte for a 2:00 p.m. doubleheader.

A living Tudor world
Much more than just a tour, on your trip around the palace you'll step straight into Tudor times and run into Kings, courtiers and even a jester or two along your way. Hear the latest gossip on which fair maiden Henry VIII has got his eye on this time, or even see how the King gets ready for bed as you experience live presentations and scenes from this notoriously dramatic time in British history.
The Great Hall and State Rooms
The Great Hall is the one of the grandest medieval rooms in British royal history, and its architecture is spectacular: huge, grand tapestries adorn the walls, and the ceiling beams are intricately carved with leaves and royal coats of arms. Visit the equally opulent King's State Rooms for a glimpse into Henry VIII's very own bedchamber and personal living space.
The Tudor kitchens
Did you know, Henry and his guests would be given a choice of over ten dishes for every course at each daily feast? The vast, beautifully-restored Tudor kitchens are where delicacies such as stork, green goose, and custard fritters were cooked up for 600 people each night! Savour the authentic aromas for yourself at live cookery sessions, and peer into the Georgian chocolate kitchen – the only of its kind in the world – for a taste of something sweeter

Stanley Cup Championships: 6
BOSTON BRUINS in the NHL PLAYOFFS:
As one of the "Original Six" NHL teams, the Bruins have an illustrious history of playoff hockey that Boston fans can hang their hats on. Since beginning play in 1924, the Bruins have made it to the postseason 65 times, captured 25 division titles and hung six Stanley Cup title banners from the rafters of the TD Garden.
The Bruins have had a number of Hall of Famers wear the black and gold over the years, such as Bobby Orr, Cam Neely, Eddie Shore, Brad Park, Phil Esposito and many more. The team enjoyed an unprecedented run of success in the late '60s and into the '70s and '80s when Bobby Orr and the Bruins were the kings of the hockey world.
The Bruins captured titles in 1970 and 1972 behind those enthralling Bobby Orr-led teams, but Bruins fans are far more enraptured with the most recent squad which captured the Stanley Cup in 2011. The strength of Tim Thomas in the net and the inspired play of Milan Lucic and Mark Recchi carried the Bruins to their sixth title.

Although you may be tempted to skip on down to the more "practical" steps, you will gain greater benefit by taking the time to explore homeschooling in a more philosophical sense. It is very important to know why you are making this decision. Homeschooling is a wonderful journey, but there probably will be difficult days. On those days, you will need to be confident that you made a sound, informed decision.
Begin your journey by working through your philosophy of education and the reasons you are choosing home education. The Vision section of the CHEC Guidebook, A Comprehensive Guide to Home Education, is a great place to start. (Available through the CHEC Store.)

If Matt Boykin was a little bit taller, he'd have major Division I colleges beating down his door.
Listed at 5-foot-5, the Havelock junior uses his elusiveness and speed to burn the opposition.
Boykin, who runs the 40-yard dash in 4.43 seconds, ran for a pair of touchdowns as the Rams rolled to a 31-13 win over Craven County rival New Bern in a showdown of defending state champions at Caruso-Coates Stadium on Friday.
Havelock coach Jim Bob Bryant, and his football players, arrived in New Bern later than usual after warming up on its own turf.
"We told them tonight, coming into the game, we didn't want to worry about the rivalry between New Bern and Havelock," Bryant said.
"We didn't talk about revenge. We just talked about Havelock. We wanted this week to be all about Havelock."
The Rams avenged last year's 34-33 home loss to New Bern, and handed the Bears their first consecutive home losses since 2000. The Bears lost to Durham Hillside, 27-24, on Aug. 23.
Boykin's 49-yard touchdown run on third down gave the Rams their first score early in the second quarter, and they raced away to their third win over New Bern in the past five years.
"(Boykin) is a kid that nobody really knows about but anybody who watched him play JV football last year knows about him," Bryant said.
"He is dangerous. He gives us another explosive threat. He is a great football player, a great kid, he loves playing football and has never missed a practice."
Boykin exploded into New Bern's secondary and was off to the races to put Havelock up 7-0 in the second quarter.
New Bern quarterback Michael Hughes followed with a four-yard touchdown run moments later. The extra point was missed.
The Rams took a 13-6 advantage at halftime after quarterback Travis Sabdo found Jordan Cuthbertson for an 11-yard scoring play with a minute until halftime.
Havelock pulled away late in the third. Sabdo hit Jordan Begley with a 20-yard touchdown score and Boykin ran in the end zone on a 5-yard run.
Rasheed McCoy recovered a fumble and ran it back 31 yards for a Bears' touchdown.
"We played a good team and we came out flat," said New Bern coach Bobby Curlings. "Mentally, we were not prepared. I thought we gave a much better effort last week.
"We have to do some soul searching, especially on offense. We have to find out who really wants to play because we saw some going through the motions tonight."
For the second consecutive game, Sabdo, making his second varsity start at quarterback, didn't throw an interception.
He completed 8-of-16 passes for 172 yards.
"I tell my quarterbacks that I don't want any turnovers or sacks," Bryant said. "He didn't take a sack, he got rid of the ball, he managed the offense very well and hit wide open receivers."
Rams' running back Derrell Scott didn't find the end zone, yet he still ran for 119 yards on 23 carries. Havelock gained 234 rushing yards, and 406 total yards on offense.
The defense forced New Bern to turn the ball over six times (five fumbles, one interception). Keon Frazier snagged an interception in the fourth quarter.
Hughes passed for 159 yards, but only had two in the second half. DeAuntae Grimes caught nine passes for 97 yards, while Cody Purdie ran for 73 yards on 10 carries.
New Bern (0-2) travels to West Craven next Friday, while Havelock (2-0) hosts Jones Senior.

When it comes to security, governments face a big dilemma. They are expected to provide a safe environment in which businesses can operate and citizens can live their lives. Yet the tight controls and monitoring needed to ensure that safety often encroach on personal privacy and liberty, and create impediments to efficient commerce. Everyone agrees security is essential. But at what point does increased security produce diminishing — or even negative — returns?
And how can governments best structure their security efforts to deliver greater value to citizens and businesses through improved economic competitiveness and a better way of life?

To most of us, superheroes are things of myth that make for great comic books and middling movies; to others, it's a way of life.
Under the condition of anonymity, local law enforcement administrators have agreed to speak publicly about a man who has taken it upon himself to single-handedly wipe out crime in Lenoir, Jones and Greene counties.
The first the law enforcement administrator we spoke to will be referred to as "Benny."
"We started to realize something strange was going on in the summer of 2013," Benny said. "We started receiving lots of information on our tips line from what sounded like the same person. Every week, this man left five or six strong tips that usually led to arrests and loads of recovered property."
Benny says the tips were welcome by authorities. But as time went on, the mystery man seemed to grow bored with simply delivering information.
"As the summer wore on, he continued to leave tips but started to offer help in apprehending the suspects," Benny said. "He started to identify himself as 'Captain Carolina.' He said his motto was to fight for truth, justice and the what's left of the American Way."
As the summer turned to fall, Captain Carolina began providing information for law enforcement in Lenoir, Greene and Jones counties.
"Whoever this Captain Carolina is, seems to have his finger on the pulse of the petty crime underworld," said another law enforcement administrator we'll refer to as "Agnetha." "He hasn't helped us with any felonies yet, but our clearance rate on misdemeanors has gone up by 5 percent since he started helping us.
"My bosses don't like him, but personally I'd like to give him a hug."
The third person from local law enforcement to speak to us will be referred to as "Bjorn."
"We never received any anonymous tips from Captain Carolina," Bjorn said. "For some reason, he decided to begin his crime-fighting career in our jurisdiction."
Bjorn says on three occasions over the past six months, four suspects wanted for everything from larceny to crimes against bicycle racks were found bound and gagged outside of the jail in his jurisdiction.
"They found these guys tied up outside when the shifts changed," Bjorn said. "They were all tied rodeo-style, and each of them had a DVD featuring footage of them committing the crimes they were suspected of duct-taped to their heads."
Captain Carolina's efforts reached a new level last week when several witnesses spotted him intervening in a crime in progress.
"A young kid was being intimidated by three older kids on his way home from school," Benny said. "They were started to rough him up a bit, when all of a sudden this guy wearing green spandex, an orange cape and a diving mask jumped out of the bushes and started wailing on the suspects as if they'd said something about his mother."
Security video from a nearby bank shows Captain Carolina kicking the suspects several times about the head, buttocks, kidney, buttocks, leg and buttocks area as they tried to run away.
"When a law enforcement officer showed up on the scene, Captain Carolina popped up a manhole cover and disappeared into the sewer system," Benny said. "The suspects threw their money and phones at the feet of the victim and reportedly ran away crying like Rick Ross when the buffet shuts down."
While officials from all local law enforcement appreciate the sentiment behind Captain Carolina's actions, they are hoping he will stop interfering with law enforcement business.
"They higher-ups have had three meetings about Captain Carolina so far," Agnetha said. "The general consensus is he's going to get hurt if he doesn't stop."
At various times over the past few months, Captain Carolina has used social media as a way to communicate with the public.
"He'll create a Facebook or Twitter account, send out a message and then delete the account within 24 hours," Bjorn said. "He may be a savvy guy who is trying to keep the authorities from finding him, or he's computer illiterate and accidentally deletes his account when he signs off."
Based on posts Captain Carolina made on his Facebook page, Bjorn says detectives have started to piece together his back story.
"Usually something traumatic that happens during the formative years triggers seemingly sane people to dress up like Paul Lynde at Mardi Gras and go fight crime," Bjorn said. "Based on what he's posted online, he decided to become a superhero after the McRib was discontinued, they stopped putting toys in Cracker Jacks and Steven Speilberg airbrushed the guns out of the police scene in 'E.T.'
"He also seems to still be pretty ticked off over the breakup of Wham."
Law enforcement and criminals alike await Captain Carolina's next move.

Sorry, Greg Grunberg. It turns out that Ali Larter might just be right. It seems that the Heroes wrap-up movie isn't happening.
As fans know all too well, after NBC cancelled Heroes in May, there was talk about wrapping up the TV show's storylines as either a movie or a mini-series. Despite the fact that some time had passed, series creator Tim Kring recently indicated he was still optimistic.
He said, "It looks like we're really going to start talking about it now. The summer months in television are always about preparing for the Fall launch of all the new shows, so I totally understand why there hasn't been a lot of discussion [until now]. Once the Fall season is launched, I fully believe that this discussion will get reignited in a very big way."
Now, according to EW sources, NBC isn't going ahead with the project, at least for the 2010-11 season. However, that may not be the end of the Heroes universe. Kring believes that the show's broad premise allows for many different stories to be told in many different ways.
What do you think? If not onscreen, how would you like to see Heroes continue — as books, comics, animation, web shorts, or in some other form?

Those guys are also capable of dropping 20 point games if and when they're given the opportunity. Martin being the least among them. Being talented doesn't mean you're going to do something every single night. I never claimed that, you're the only one drawing outlandish conclusions based on something I'm saying.
I never claimed these were great players or great scorers. They're talented players who can get hot when called upon. Like J.R. Smith or Nick Young. Would you call either of those guys great? No, but they're very talented. They're probably a step above the names I mentioned, but that doesn't mean the guys I mentioned (really that you mentioned) AREN'T talented. In fact, I'd take any of those guys on this team in a heart beat.
And Henderson played less than 20 minutes, so big surprise that he didn't put up huge numbers.
By the way, try responding to a post with something OTHER than sarcasm. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit and should be used sparingly.
is quite EASY to get hot when you're consistently wide open.....I buy the fact Kobe can't stay in front of his man just like the other guys in Duhon/Peace but that doesn't mean he should continously leave his man open to go into the paint and help for whatever reason he is doing that, this is the one frustrating theme I always seen out of him. Is that some how every game almost, his man is wide open for a 3 but he's in the paint "helping" the big out

By Suzanne Kubota
Senior Internet Editor
A recent study by the Partnership for Public Service says, if you want to effectively recruit top talent, technology is the way to go.
Kathy Hutson, National Security Agency's Associate Director for Human Resources, agrees, but she told Federal News Radio the message is still as important as the medium.
"All of our job openings are posted on the NSA.gov website which allows applicants to apply directly online and also we've put all of our paperwork that we require for our applicants also online which has been a huge efficiency," said Hutson.
This year for us is going to be a tremendous hiring year. We are really looking lots of folks in the science, technology, engineering and math skill fields and we've had to use a variety of marketing tools to include things such as recruiting on college campuses, reaching out to professional organizations, virtual career fairs - NSA was the first, really, almost in the federal community to use a virtual mechanism to do career fairs, which is an incredibly green approach to hiring.
Push and Pull
The NSA, said Hutson, is "trying a number of things this particular year because our need for skills is so enormous." She said the NSA is using "cool high tech tools," like an iPhone app to send alerts anytime anything new is posted on NSA.gov and that they're working on an Android version as well.
They're also looking to social media to pull in applicants. The agency formerly referred to by wags as the "None Such Agency" has come a very long way. "NSA has friends on facebook, which is really amazing," said Hutson, and they've had good success using traditional marketing like billboards.
The Message
Hutson agreed when told her job sounded like she's pitching the agency. "I think folks who are watching TV," said Hutson, "get a sense what the FBI's about, what CIA's about, or at least they think they understand those things, but it's not so much for the National Security Agency." It's not always portrayed in ways that are true to the mission, she said, so it's important to market and educate people about the mission.
One of the biggest selling points for the agency is its emphasis on work-life programs. "It's really important for people these days to be able to know that they can balance work and life or home priorities. I think it's really important that the workplace acknowledge that and have respect for that," said Hutson. "So we have services and programs here that touch on everything from deployment to shiftwork as well as day care and financial coaching."
In fact, Hutson said, largest daycare facility in the state of Maryland is at the NSA.
"We let people know not only do we have extraordinary careers here, but you can come here and come into a culture of wellness, a culture that respects diversity, and also that places great value on work-life balance."

- On the server-side, the installation is more complex than a basic freeware program because you have to go through multiple steps to configure a server installation, then install the dependencies (other free programs that OSCAR relies on to work properly), then install OSCAR, then configure the web server and the MySQL database software, then download the medication database for the prescription software and configure other interfaces (if desired).
- On the client/browser-side we recommend that you use Firefox (it is a good idea to install the Extended Support Release "ESR" version of Firefox) and point it to your newly configured server installation. Any device that can run a browser can be pointed to the OSCAR web server, including PC, Mac, Linux, tablets, smart-phones etc..
- Please note: Oscar installations requires security hardening, on the server side. This is provided automatically with the Packaged Linux Installation, and can be added manually to the other installations.
If you have the enthusiasm and basic technical know-how required to dabble with an OSCAR test installation, then jump in! Be aware that most production OSCAR systems are installed on Ubuntu Linux Server which makes that combination the best documented and easiest to service. There are a number of ways for you to install OSCAR:
- Native Windows Installer (for demonstration).
- Packaged Linux installation on Ubuntu, Mint, Xubuntu and similar Debian based Linux desktop distributions with a graphical user interface. This is the recommended route for both demonstration and production.
- IDE install on for developers wishing to install OSCAR in a development platform.
- Download the source code and build manually from the Sourceforge repository, for those with the necessary know-how.
- Download pre-installed OSCAR virtual machine: (for demonstration only) This is probably the easiest way for non technical users to get an OSCAR test system running on their computers. It is a big download (2.5 GB) so you need a broadband Internet connection. You also need a newish PC or Mac with a decent processor and at least 4GB of RAM. Follow this simple three-step procedure:
- Download and install Oracle's VirtualBox software for your PC or Mac from here.
- Download the OSCAR 12.1 .ova backup file from here, and "import" it into VirtualBox (caution, large download, 2.8 GB, about 60 to 90 minutes on broadband connection).
- Start the OSCAR 12.1 VM, log into Ubuntu with credentials "oscardemo" and password "abc123", then open Firefox and log into OSCAR with "oscardoc", "Abcd1234" and "1117". This is OSCAR version 12.1 in the 'BC' configuration.
- Thanks to Terry Bordeleau you can install a somewhat older version of OSCAR configured for BC directly from CD (a joint Ubuntu Server 8.04 & OSCAR 9.06 installation): Here is the iso image of the Ubuntu-OSCAR install CD (Root password is "oscar").
All of our files are released on Sourceforge with installation how-to's documented on www.oscarmanual.org for OSCAR version 12.

Does the English Language Have a Future?
Seth Lerer was born in Brooklyn the year before the Dodgers left for California. After attending Wesleyan University, Oxford, and the University of Chicago, and teaching at Princeton for ten years, he eventually followed them - ending up not in Los Angeles, but Stanford, where, in 1990, he joined the faculty as professor of English. He currently directs the Stanford Humanities Fellows Program, a postdoctoral research and teaching program. He has taught literature and the history of the English Language for twenty-eight years. At Stanford, he has received the Hoagland Prize for Undergraduate Teaching (1993) and the Dean's Award for Graduate Teaching (2003).
Lerer has published widely in the field of medieval studies, and his interests include the history of reading, courtly culture, and children's literature. In addition to Inventing English (Columbia, 2007) he has published seven other books, including, Chaucer and His Readers (Princeton, 1993) which received the Beatrice White Prize of the English Association of Great Britain, and Error and the Academic Self (Columbia, 2002) which received the Harry Levin Prize of the American Comparative Literature Association. His new book, Children's Literature: A Reader's History from Aesop to Harry Potter, will appear from the University of Chicago Press in May 2008.
In his Athenaeum lecture, Professor Lerer will look at the past and present of the English language to explore the ways in which it changes and to think about some ways in which we might expect to sound and look in the future.
Creating the Roman Juggernaut: How Rome Broke from the Pack in the Ancient Mediterranean
Millennia after the founding of the Roman Republic in the late 6th century BC, the success and resiliency of the nascent empire are still an issue of debate amongst scholars, and it is of special interest for those interested in the rise and fall of empires throughout history. Conventional wisdom focuses on what are perhaps the most tangible aspects of Roman success—its military power. Historians point to the militarism and aggressiveness of the Republic, arguing that these led to the eventual dominance that Rome enjoyed by the period of the Late Republic in the 1st century BC. What is often overlooked, however, is that these characteristics were shared by all other Mediterranean states. To adequately explain the remarkable nature of Rome's rise, historian Arthur Eckstein has looked to the dynamics of Roman domestic and international politics, and in so doing has developed a far richer, more interesting, and more compelling analysis of the Mediterranean hegemon's unprecedented preeminence. Professor Eckstein's visit to CMC is planned jointly with CMC professor of history Shane Bjornlie as the first lecture in the series Insights from the Ancients: American Political Culture through a Classical Lens.
Arthur Eckstein is a professor of history at the University of Maryland, with a special focus on the Hellenistic world and Roman imperialism in the Republic. His three books, dozens of articles, and work as an editor have covered a broad range of topics, from Roman expansion to modern theories of economic imperialism to American film and popular culture. His most recently published work, Mediterranean Anarchy, Interstate War, and the Rise of Rome (2006), brings a novel perspective to the analysis of Roman history, utilizing modern international-systems theory to address the reasons behind Rome's extraordinary imperial success. Professor Eckstein's next work, due to be published this spring, will apply this same theoretical framework to a more detailed study of Rome's first engagement in the Hellenistic world, from 230-170 BC. He was also the major scholarly consultant on the Emmy Award-winning PBS film "Roman City (1994)." Professor Eckstein's visit to the Athenaeum promises to be both illuminating and captivating for anyone interested in ancient history, imperial development, or simply gaining context for watching an HBO miniseries.
Inside the Black Box: Technological Innovation at Google
LUNCH 11:30 a.m. LECTURE 12:00 p.m.
The Athenaeum is proud to welcome Jonathan Rosenberg '83 back to campus as part of our continuing series showcasing the successful careers of Claremont McKenna alumni. Mr. Rosenberg is the Senior Vice President of Product Management and Marketing at Google, where he oversees the design, creation, and improvement of the internet giant's product line, ranging from consumer products to business and publishing services. He directs the teams with a special focus on delivering exceptional user experiences, continuous innovation, and highly relevant, accountable , and untraditional marketing.
Before he joined Google in 2002, Rosenberg was a member of an extensive array of innovative Internet product development teams. He served first as director of product marketing for Knight-Ridder Information Services, where he helped deploy one of the first online relevance-ranking engines. Later, he moved to Apple, where he managed the eWorld Internet product line, and then became one of the founding members of the @Home product group, later becoming senior vice president of online products and services for Excite@Home.
Rosenberg graduated Phi Beta Kappa from CMC in 1983, obtaining a degree with honors in economics, before receiving his MBA from the University of Chicago. We are extremely pleased to welcome him back to Claremont for his discussion of technological innovation at Google's.
Politics, Culture, and the Way We Live Now
Election years offer a convenient opportunity for collective soul-searching in American society. As we ask ourselves what we want in a candidate, we — consciously or not — prioritize our positions on a variety of moral, economic, and political issues. As we do this individually, it is also worthwhile to reflect on the evolution of the culture and society in which we live. In so doing, we stand to gain insight not only into politics, culture, and the interplay between the two, but also into the forces that shape the way that we think and act as individuals.David Brooks' visit to the Athenaeum is in the spirit of this inquiry.
Brooks is a prominent author, political commentator, and op-ed columnist for the New York Times whose articles have touched on a wide range of socioeconomic issues, pop culture, and political debates. Originally a self-described liberal who wrote a parody biopic on William F. Buckley, Brooks' thinking underwent a gradual transformation in the 1980's, due in part to his contact and debate with Milton Friedman in 1983. His more recent opinion pieces have run the gamut from the Iraq War, to gay marriage, to the culture wars in America between the Left and Right. His writings and commentary have established Brooks as a prominent, distinctive conservative voice on political and social issues.
Apart from his work for the Times op-ed page, which he joined in September 2003, Brooks has worked as a reporter and op-ed editor for The Wall Street Journal, a senior editor at The Weekly Standard, a contributing editor at Newsweek and The Atlantic Monthly, and a commentator on NPR and The News Hour with Jim Lehrer. A graduate of Chicago University with a degree in history, Brooks also recently taught as a visiting professor at Duke University's Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy. His recent books, Bobos in Paradise: the New Upper Class and How They Got There (2000) and Paradise Drive: How We Live Now (and Always Have) in the Future Tense (2004), offer incisive social commentary on the peculiarities and patterns evident in modern American culture. The Athenaeum and the Salvatori Center are pleased to welcome David Brooks for an evening of similarly insightful commentary at a time of flux, uncertainty, and excitement in American political culture.
Changing North Korea: Beyond the Point of No Return?
North Korea has undergone substantial changes in the last decade, visible and invisible ones. However, we know little about the details of this development, its causes, and its direction. Is North Korea transforming, and if so, the European or the Chinese way? Is this process reversible? How does the nuclear issue fit into this picture? What can and should the international community do? These are some of the questions that will be discussed based on Rudiger Frank's theoretical analysis of Socialism's main features, personal experience of life under socialism in Europe and almost two decades of studying North Korea. The presentation is supported by photographs taken by the author during his visits to North Korea from 1991 to 2007.
Rudiger Frank is professor of East Asian Economy and Society at the University of Vienna and Director of the Vienna School of Governance. He is an adjunct professor at Korea University and the University of North Korean Studies in Seoul, and an affiliate researcher at the Modern East Asia Research Center in Leiden. He holds a master's degree in Korean Studies, Economics and International Relations and a Ph.D. in economics. He has spent one semester as a language student at Kim Il-sung University in Pyongyang in 1991/1992; his last visit to North Korea was in June 2007. His current research focus is the transformation of socialist systems in Europe and East Asia.
The Keck Center for International and Strategic Studies is pleased to host Dr. Frank's visit to CMC.
How Private Wealth is Changing the World
Joel L. Fleishman, Professor of Law and Public Policy at Duke University, was the founding director of Duke University's Terry Sanford Institute of Public Policy, is a founding member of the governing board of the Duke Center for Health Policy Research and Education, serves as the Director of the Samuel and Ronnie Heyman Center for Ethics, Public Policy and the Professions, and is the Director of the Duke University Philanthropic Research Program.
During his visit to the Athenaeum, Dr. Fleishman will discuss his recently published book, The Foundation: A Great American Secret; How Private Wealth is Changing the World (2007), in which he discusses the use of philanthropic capital. Fleishman has been active with foundations for decades, running foundations, sitting on boards, taking the role of the grant seeker as well as the grantor. He will discuss what foundations do and how they do it, addressing the issues of transparency and accountability. Over the coming years, the baby boom generation will supply a huge transfer of wealth to foundations. We can benefit by studying cases of both successful and unsuccessful foundation initiatives, and defining the leadership, focus, alignment, and measurement need to provide impact.
Mr. Fleishman received A.B., M.A. and J.D. degrees from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and an LL.M. degree from Yale University. His Athenaeum lecture is sponsored by the Kravis Leadership Institute as part of their series on Issues of Governance: the structure and accountability of 21st century organization.

Arab-Israeli Peace Making: Is It Still Possible?
When President George W. Bush unveiled his "Roadmap for Peace in the Middle East" early in his presidency, he hailed it as a "vision of two states" that would be a "framework for progress towards lasting peace and security in the Middle East." As we approach the end of his second term, the shakeups and setbacks of the last years — the death of Yasser Arafat, the election and subsequent blockade of the Hamas government, the outbreak of fighting in the summer of 2006 — the situation seems as intractable as ever. Dr. William B. Quandt brings over three decades of thoughtful scholarship to this issue, and his visit to the Athenaeum promises to be an insightful one.
Dr. Quandt is the Edward Stettinius Professor of Politics and the University of Virginia, where he has taught since 1994. Before joining the faculty at Virginia, Dr. Quandt received a doctorate in Political Science from MIT and taught at the University of Pennsylvania and UCLA. His publications cover a range of Middle Eastern issues, from American foreign policy to Saudi Arabian oil and include Peace Process: American Democracy and the Arab-Israeli Conflict since 1967 (2001). Outside of academia, Dr. Quandt serves as a non-resident Senior Fellow of Foreign Policy Studies at the Brookings Institution and a member of the Council on Foreign Relations, and is a former President of the Middle East Studies Association. Dr. Quandt also served as a National Security Council staff member for the Middle East (1972-4, 1977-9), and was involved in the negotiations leading up to the Camp David Accords and the Egyptian-Israeli Peace Treaty.
It is a pleasure to have William Quandt take part in the 2007-2008 William F. Podlich Distinguished Visitors Program. This program was generously endowed by CMC alumnus and trustee William F. Podlich '66, whose aim is to enrich the college intellectually by bringing preeminent figures in scholarship, business, and public affairs to campus for extended visits.
French Public Schools and the Ban on Head Scarves
LUNCH 11:30 a.m. LECUTRE 12:00 p.m.
Issues concerning the swelling immigrant population in France, composed primarily of North African Arabs known as maghrébins, played a prominent role in the recent French presidential elections, with the victor, Nicolas Sarkozy, promising a broad reform of immigration policy. Yet immigration policy alone does not address the barriers to assimilation that immigrants face in France. One of the most fevered disputes in French immigrant relations has been the controversy over 2004's "loi sur la laïcité" (Law on Secularism), which reiterated France's commitment to official secularism by, among other things, banning the wearing of large religious symbols in public schools. The ban applies to all religious items, including large crosses and Jewish yarmulkes, but most notably targets Muslim hijabs, or headscarves. Though a large majority of the French legislature, as well as the French population in general, supported the measure, it has since become a point of great contention among Muslim immigrants.
Geneviève Renault brings first-hand knowledge of the attempt to implement the ban on headscarves, and its effects on the French immigrant population. Born in Paris, never having seen the poor housing projects (known as HLM) in the immigrant banlieues (suburbs), Mme Renault joined the French public service as a teacher and was quickly assigned to teach French literature and English as a second language at the Lycée Adolphe Chérioux, a high school in Vitry-sur-Seine, a Parisian suburb. The high school is part of the Académie de Créteil, a massive, underfunded school district, comprised mostly of immigrants, that is regarded as a young teacher's worst nightmare. Her high school in particular lies in a zone sensible and a zone d'édcuation prioritaire, French euphemisms for particularly violent and poverty-stricken areas, where teachers receive a bonus to compensate for the increased risk and frustration. Mme Renault has a wealth of experience dealing with the French education system, and will speak about the challenges of teaching immigrants in such a low-income areas, as well as the cultural and political issues surrounding the controversial move to ban the hijab.
Genevieve Renault's visit to CMC has been arranged in collaboration with professor of government Hilary Appel.
The Global Environmental Consequences of China's "Right" to Development
How does China stoke its extraordinarily high-revving industrial engine (which produces some ten- to eleven-percent annual economic growth)? "With coal," China expert Orville Schell reminds us: "soft, dirty, bituminous coal at that." With its proliferation of industries — especially such energy - intensive ones as aluminum, steel, electrical power, and cement — and its days of petroleum self-sufficiency ended at least a decade ago, China, to keep the home fires burning, must turn to a resource it still has in superabundance. "To feed all this development," Schell told the New York Times in December 2007, "China has recently been building in the neighborhood of one new conventional coal-fired power plant every week. … What is particularly depressing about this state of affairs is that each of these new 'conventional' coal fired power plants will be operating for another 30 to 40 years … So, we not only see China writing a scenario for its short-term environmental fate with these plants, but also for the globe's long-term fate." All this in a nation that is already, Schell contends, "approximately nine times less energy efficient than Japan and four to five times less efficient than the U.S." As one of the keynote speakers at Claremont McKenna College's March 2008 China and Human Rights Symposium, Schell will discuss how the disquieting dynamic between the world's two largest polluters — China and the U.S. — figures to play out in a global arena.
Orville Schell has devoted the better part of his professional life to reporting on China. Schell began preparing during his college days, majoring in Far Eastern History at Harvard College before earning his Masters in Chinese History at the University of California, Berkeley. Since then he has written nine books about China, including Watch Out for the Foreign Guests: China Encounters the West (Pantheon Books, New York, l980); To Get Rich Is Glorious: China in the l980's (Pantheon Books, New York, l984); and Mandate of Heaven: A New Generation of Entrepreneurs, Dissidents, Technocrats, and Bohemians Grasp for Power in China (Simon & Schuster, New York, l994). A frequent contributor to such publications as The Atlantic, Harper's, The New York Review of Books, The New Yorker, and The New York Times, Schell has also served as correspondent and consultant for several PBS documentaries and for an Emmy award-winning program on China that aired on CBS' "60 Minutes." With all that, Schell has somehow managed also to find the time to serve as Dean of the Graduate School of Journalism at U.C. Berkeley, as a member of the Social Science Research Council and Council on Foreign Relations, and on numerous professional boards and juries, including that of the Pulitzer Prize for International Reporting. Orville Schell's presentation is sponsored by the Gould Center for Humanistic Studies.
