Downside first, the mat really smells a lot, needs to be aired out for several days prior to installation and the hand hold to access the lower storage area is covered requiring lifting the mat every time access is needed. The mat doesn't have edge lips to hold moisture but it does protect the trunk carpet well. Overall a thumbs up, recommended.

Mac Trojan Disguised As PDF File
Two European computer security firms are warning Mac users to be on the lookout for a piece of malware that disguises itself as a PDF file, various tech media outlets reported Friday.
Jacqui Cheng of Ars Technica writes that the virus-like program in question has been identified as Trojan-Dropper:OSX/Revir.A. When activated, it installs a backdoor Trojan horse, Backdoor:OSX/Imuler.A, onto the user's computer.
"Currently, however, the backdoor doesn't communicate with anything," Cheng added. "The command-and-control center for this particular malware is apparently a bare Apache installation, which has been sitting at its current domain since May of this year."
"Because of this, users who might fall victim to this attack aren't likely to see many ill effects for the time being, but that could change if the files end up spreading to a wider audience," she added.
It was discovered by Sophos, a UK-based company, and F-Secure of Finland.
Once installed, the backdoor can connect to a remote server, which is controlled by the hacker. The attacker can then use that communication channel to obtain information from the infected Mac, or alternatively to trigger additional effects in that computer. The malware, which is in actuality an executable, does not exploit any vulnerable area in Mac OS X and must be intentionally downloaded by users that are unaware of its actual nature, Gregg Keizer of Computerworld reports.
In a warning posted to their website on September 23, Sophos representatives noted that the contents of the PDF are written in Chinese, and that it appears to be an article about a hot-button issue within the countries–namely, whether or not the Diaoyu Islands belong to Japan.
"Because the document is opened, users may believe that they have opened a harmless PDF rather than run a program," the Finnish company said. "When we tested the malware inside our labs, we couldn't manage to get it to execute as the author probably intended — however, strings embedded deep inside its code make it clear that it was written with malicious intent."
F-Secure added that the malware "may be attempting to copy the technique implemented by Windows malware, which opens a PDF file containing a '.pdf.exe' extension and an accompanying PDF icon. The sample on our hand does not have an extension or an icon yet."
"However, there is another possibility," they wrote. "It is slightly different in Mac, where the icon is stored in a separate fork that is not readily visible in the OS. The extension and icon could have been lost when the sample was submitted to us. If this is the case, this malware might be even stealthier than in Windows because the sample can use any extension it desires.

Energy Conservation and Climate Change:
Factors to Consider in the Design of the Nonbusiness Energy Property Credit

What GAO Found
Under criteria for evaluating a tax credit design, both the performance-based and cost-based credits have advantages and disadvantages with neither design being unambiguously the better option based on current information. Both a cost-based and a performance-based credit are designed to reduce energy use and CO2 emissions by providing incentives for energy conservation investment. However, they differ in their relative effectiveness and costs. In general, a performance-based credit is more likely to effectively reduce energy use and CO2 emissions because it rewards energy savings from the investment rather than the cost-based credits rewarding of spending regardless of whether this spending results in energy savings. However, the performance-based credit may have significant up-front costs for energy audits, not required by the cost-based credit, which could reduce its effectiveness by discouraging investment. In addition, for taxpayers who do invest, these up-front costs may mean that a performance-based credit may have significantly higher taxpayer compliance and IRS administrative costs than a cost-based credit. A credits fairness depends on subjective judgments of how a credit varies with a taxpayers income level.
For those taxpayers claiming the 2009 credit, under both base definitions used in our simulations, the total amount of credit claimed fell but taxpayers had a greater incentive to spend more on qualifying products. The incentive was measured as the average effective rate of credit that would apply to additional spending by taxpayers. In 2009, when no base was present, a dollar of additional spending would earn, on average, an additional 10 cents of credit. When the base derived from average spending was introduced in the simulations, a dollar of additional spending earned an estimated 14 to 18 cents of credit. However, because the simulations do not include behavioral responses, the overall effect on revenues and spending of introducing a base is uncertain. For example, introducing a base amount, while likely to limit windfall credits for qualified spending that would have been done anyway, would also make the credit less generous and some taxpayers might no longer use it.
Why GAO Did This Study
The nonbusiness energy property credit is one of a number of federal initiatives that seek to address concerns about U.S. reliance on foreign energy sources and the impact of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions on the climate. Enacted as part of the Energy Policy Act of 2005, the nonbusiness energy property credit was intended to increase homeowners investment in energy conserving improvements by reducing their after-tax costs. The credit is calculated as a percentage of qualified spending on such improvements as insulation systems, exterior windows and metal roofs up to a maximum claimable credit. The maximum credit was set at $500 in 2006 and 2007, raised to $1,500 in 2009 and 2010, and lowered back to $500 in 2011.
This report compiles and expands upon information previously presented to Congress in response to congressional request, which asked us to examine factors relating to the nonbusiness energy property credit. To address the request, we (1) evaluated factors to consider in deciding whether the credit should be cost-based or performance-based; and (2) estimated how requiring that only spending above a minimum amount be eligible for the credit, or introducing a base amount for the 2009 credit may have affected measures such as the amount of credit claimed, the revenue cost to the federal government, and incentives for taxpayers to increase their spending on energy efficiency improvements.
What GAO Recommends
We are not making new recommendations based on this review. This work is intended to assist Congress in considering different ways that the credit can be structured to achieve the stated goals of reducing CO2 emissions and minimizing U.S. reliance on foreign energy sources.

SEATTLE The Washington State Patrol is investigating Snohomish County Executive Aaron Reardon for alleged misappropriation of public funds. It comes five days before Reardon faces re-election.
I have not been notified or given any details by the Washington State Patrol or anybody else regarding an accusation of 'misuse of funds,' said Reardon in a statement Thursday afternoon.
It's politically motivated, Reardon, a Democrat,later said at a press conference. It's obvious.
Dave Somers, Chairman of the Snohomish County Council and a fellow Democrat, told KING 5 News, someone came to him regarding Reardon's travel expenses on out-of-town trips. Somers said he then took the allegations to the Snohomish CountyProsecutor.
I thought it was serious enough to pass it on, Somers said. It wasn't just rumor. It was some information.
Somers would not disclose who gave him the information and did not feel comfortable discussing details of the allegations, only saying, It's mostly travel issues. He added that they are simply allegations until proven true or false and he feels it is unfortunate that news ofinvestigation became public.
It looks unfortunate being right on top of the election, Somers said. Certainly it wasn't our intention to do anything like that.
Somers has not endorse either candidate in the race for county executive.
In a press release, Snohomish County Prosecutor Mark Roe said a third party came forward with allegations that I believe require an independent investigation to determine the facts. Roe said he asked the state patrol to launch an investigation.
Roe sent a letter to the state patrol Oct. 26 requesting the investigation.
We agreed to be the fact finder in this case, so we will do the criminal investigation and we will refer our findings back to either the Snohomish County Prosecutor or another prosecutor as he may designate to review the case, said WSP spokesman Bob Calkins.
Roe said the allegations are unproven at this point, but if true, could potentially constitute a criminal act.
All funding appropriations and expenditures are reviewed by multiple departments as they are made as well as by the state auditor's office on an annual basis, said Reardon. There are numerous checks and balances in place to prevent the misuse of public funds and to identify any discrepancies. In addition, earlier allegations made against me by a Republican Party Officer in April, regarding the misuse of funds for travel were categorically dismissed by the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission.
Reardon implied that the timing of the accusations is a political ploy.
This is a nameless, baseless accusation that comes five days before the election. I am more than confident that voters in Snohomish County will see through this appalling charade and not be duped, said Reardon.
Calkins said the state patrol will take its time to get the facts.
It's more important to be right than fast, so we'll take the time we need to gather all the relevant facts so that we can give whatever prosecutor who makes a charging decision the best possible information, said Calkins.
Roe said he would have taken the same steps no matter who the accusations were against.

Expanded rosters in September don't make sense, can make for extra-long games
For the Colorado Rockies, it was a day that will live on in win-famy.
That the Padres are back in Denver on this weekend of September call-ups — such as it is for a San Diego club that's literally been calling up minor leaguers regularly since Opening Day — is mere coincidence. The NL West at work. But it serves nicely to remind people of how effective, but also how absurd, things can get when a team goes from 25 players to as many as 40 in a single day.
The year was 2007, a season that also was extended by a game between the Padres and Rockies, the latter of whom earned the playoff spot with Matt Holliday's dash home at Coors Field on Oct. 1. Now go back a few weeks, too, to Sept. 7 at Coors Field. The Padres were the second-place team, the Rockies in fourth, for the opener of a crucial three-game series.
As they would again in the play-in game, Rockies manager Clint Hurdle used 10 of the eighteen pitchers available to him. Five times, Adrian Gonzalez approached the plate, each time facing a different Colorado pitcher.
He struck out against starter Elmer Dessens in the second inning, hit a two-run single off Mark Redman in the third, struck out against Matt Herges in the fifth, drove in another run with a seventh-inning groundout against LaTroy Hawkins and grounded out against Ramon Ortiz. That last at-bat concluded a 10-4 win by the Rockies that had been a one-run game until the bottom of the eighth.
The Rockies played by the rules, made them work for them, all the way through an extraordinary run of 21 straight wins and a World Series. Good on 'em. Indeed, even after five years, the grapes haven't soured in San Diego.
"It can get too be too much," said Padres manager Bud Black of the incessant substitutions of September. "The other side is, you can do it, too."
Most don't. Or try not to.
Come next September, this may no longer be an issue. Over the last few years, there's been a movement within MLB's hierarchy to trim the 40-man roster to something more like a 33-man. Further, suggested limits of 28-30 names would be put on the active roster for each game, split in half between players and pitchers.
"I think it's close, real close, probably this winter," said Black. "I'm in favor of it. I'm a traditionalist. I believe in the integrity of the game. As it is now, it's a different game in September. It takes you five months to get to a certain point — and then the game completely changes."
Ironically, this weekend's series at Coors Field is precisely the situation where you might expect to see a lot of new, young faces on the field and games that come off more as exhibitions than competitions. The Padres and Rockies both have been out of contention, virtually all season, and likely nothing that happens in Denver will have any bearing on anybody else's playoff chances.

The camera never dropped frames. Sound is good. I am glad I did not pay the $86 for their next model KC212 as my dog does not make a good cinematographer.1 Helpful | 0 Not Helpful

Go Food!
posted 6 years ago
Many people wrongly assume that a pet food with a high protein level is automatically better for their pet. This is incorrect for two reasons. First, as described above, the quality of the protein is a critical factor - it doesn't matter if a food has a high percentage of protein if the protein comes from a less-digestible or less-usable source. Secondly, optimal protein levels for different life stages and activity levels vary. Senior pets generally require less protein than active adult pets; and active adult pets need less protein than younger animals. Look for a food that provides the optimum level of protein for your pet's particular life stage and activity. Otherwise, you'll feed your pet excess protein that will simply be converted into fat.
Pros: Taste ok
Cons: Not healthy

President Barack Obama speaks to reporters about the fiscal cliff in the Brady Press Briefing Room at the White House in Washington, Friday, Dec. 21, 2012. (AP Photo/Charles Dharapak)
WASHINGTON (AP) -- President Barack Obama says it appears that an agreement to avoid the fiscal cliff is "in sight," but says it's not yet complete and work continues.
Obama says this has been a "pressing issue on people's minds," and tells an audience of middle-class taxpayers the deal would, among other things, extend unemployment benefits for Americans "who are still out there looking for a job."
He voiced regret that the work of the administration and lawmakers on Capitol Hill won't produce a "grand bargain" on tax-and-spend issues, but said that "with this Congress, it couldn't happen at that time."
Officials familiar with the negotiations say an agreement would raise tax rates on family income over $450,000 a year and increase the estate tax rate.

deck for a mobile home
We want to build a deck for our mobile (manufactured) home. We've been told that because our home is on pilings rather than a foundation, we should NOT attach the deck to the side of the house. The deck height will need to be almost 4 feet. Any advice on how to stabilize a deck this high that is not attached to the house?
Are you living in a mobile home park? If you aren't, then the most logical would be to dig post holes, pour a concrete footing, put the posts in(Size depending on your span you need to cover), and build your deck off of this base structure.
If you aren't in a mobile home park and would like some more specifics, please post back and I'm sure we can all help to walk you through the process as best we can via text and diagram :)
No, we are not in a park. We are on an acreage in northern alberta. Our soil is mostly hard packed clay and difficult to dig, but I suppose we can rent an auger to dig post holes.

Gibson falters as Indians overtake Twins 7-5
MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — Kyle Gibson had the home crowd behind him and a five-run lead from his Minnesota Twins teammates as he returned to the mound for the second inning.
Hit by hit, though, Cleveland didn't quit. By the sixth, Gibson was sitting in the dugout, staring straight ahead in disgust after the Indians had pulled ahead.
Yan Gomes had three hits including a home run, rookie pinch-hitter Tyler Holt hit the go-ahead two-run double in the sixth inning, and the Indians came back to beat the Twins 7-5 on Tuesday night.
"It's just a bad job," said Gibson, who gave up a solo shot to Gomes in the second and a two-run single to Zach Walters in the fourth before losing control of a slider for a wild pitch in the fifth that let Michael Bourn score and bring the Indians within 5-4.
Then came Holt's big hit, one batter after Gibson was replaced by reliever Brian Duensing (3-3). Bourn followed with an RBI single to give the Indians a two-run edge.
"I should've been more relaxed and should've been getting ahead of guys and using that to my advantage for sure," Gibson said.
In half of Gibson's 24 starts, he has given up one run or no runs. But his ERA rose again, from 3.96 to 4.13, after another inability to establish some consistency.
"It looked like he was trying not to give up runs, rather than just pitching and going after 'em," Gardenhire said.
Oswaldo Arcia homered in his third straight game for the Twins, capping a five-run first with a three-run shot after Joe Mauer and Kennys Vargas also drove in runs.
But Indians starter Trevor Bauer settled down and retired the next 14 batters before being removed for Kyle Crockett (3-0), who recorded the final out in the fifth and one in the sixth.
Indians manager Terry Francona kept on managing, making a total of seven pitching changes until summoning Cody Allen for the ninth inning to notch his 16th save in 17 attempts. The Indians have won six of their last eight games, trying to stay relevant in the AL Central race behind Kansas City and Detroit.
"Can't shut down on a team like that. You can see what they're playing for," Gardenhire said.
Arcia's homer was his fifth in his last seven games and 13th this season, one shy of his 2013 rookie total. The Twins have hit 28 homers runs in their last 27 games.
The Twins started the seventh with consecutive singles, bringing up their leading — and leadoff — hitter Danny Santana with nobody out, down by two runs. After bunting foul balls twice, Santana struck out. Gardenhire defended the decision to sacrifice, challenging the rookie to improve that aspect of his game.
"He can hit a home run, yes, and he's hitting .320, yes, but he's got to be able to bunt," Gardenhire said. "He might be able to bunt and get a base hit. So there is no decision there. That's an automatic. We're bunting 'em over with Danny Santana. He's got to be able to do that in order to stay and be a great player like we think he's going to be. He knows that more than anybody."

For a few years, I documented all sorts of things from my day to day life here…but the most important things I documented were about my children. Everything was new and exciting and there were so many firsts. Like a soda bottle that had been jostled a bit too much, I was always bubbling over with emotions and feelings that I just had to get out.
There are still firsts now, as there always are until we shed these mortal coils, but I no longer feel the urge to share them. Or rather, I can't seem to collect everything I'm feeling into any kind of order anymore and thus, I rarely even try.
Why is it all so hard now?

In this medical malpractice case, a husband sued after his wife died allegedly from kidney failure after the defendant doctor performed surgery. At the trial, the husband testified about various issues, including his wife's active lifestyle before the surgery, and date of the onset of kidney problems. After the trial, the husband quarrelled with his daughter, who then advised defense counsel that they both had "lied" while testifiying at the trial regarding issues in the case. She also advised about the existence of a diary that the husband failed to produce in response to a discovery request; the diary, among other things, contradicted the husband's testimony regarding the onset of the kidney problems. The trial court dismissed the case after an evidentiary hearing. The appellate court reversed, holding: "The evidentiary conflicts regarding Mrs. Herman's activity levels presented a classic jury question, and hardly amounted to clear and convincing evidence that the plaintiff undertook a scheme calculated to interfere with the judicial system's ability to impartially adjudicate the matter."

Former Huron County Sheriff's Detective Matthew S. Spencer pleaded innocent Monday to eight felonies in connection with stealing more than $10,000 from the evidence room and being involved in a suspected insurance scam.
Spencer, 33, of 420 High St., Willard, is accused of stealing between $10,000 and $15,000 which had been "logged in as evidence" and making a false insurance claim to cover the missing money, Erie County Prosecutor Kevin Baxter has said.
The former Greenwich police chief oversaw the sheriff's office evidence room July 10 when he reported the theft of two firearms, a Fraternal Order of Police emblem, some golf clubs and seven personal checks from his personal vehicle.
Erie County prosecutors have overseen the case after Huron County Prosecutor Russell Leffler declined to be affiliated with the case. Leffler's office is supposed to receive 20 percent of forfeited drug money in felony cases.
Erie County Assistant Prosecutor Vicki Palmer represented the state during Spencer's arraignment and presented the case to grand jurors Friday afternoon. She expects Baxter to prosecute the case.
"We came in at the end of the regular grand jury (session)," said Palmer, who estimated the Spencer case took about 1 1/2 hours to present.
Spencer faces a July 24 trial on three counts of tampering with evidence and two charges of tampering with records, all third-degree felonies. He also was charged with one count each of theft in office, insurance fraud and falsification, all fifth-degree felonies.
The allegations stem from incidents from July 2004 through the end of July 2006, Palmer said.
Spencer and his attorney, Greg Shell, declined to comment after the in Huron County Common Pleas Court hearing. Spencer was released after signing a bond promising he would return for the June 25 pretrial hearing and other subsequent hearings.
If convicted of failing to appear, a fourth-degree felony, he faces six to 18 months behind bars and a maximum fine of $5,000.
During the hearing, Judge Earl McGimpsey said he will contact the Ohio Supreme Court to have a visiting judge assigned since he is retiring in mid-May. He also noted that judge-elect Jim Conway could have a conflict of interest since his current job as Norwalk law director involves prosecuting cases investigated by deputies.
Sheriff Richard Sutherland has said there was obvious "wrongdoing" after he and two other deputies began investigating Spencer. The sheriff has described Spencer as a "very loyal" employee and admitted to being surprised originally that the detective was accused of criminal behavior.
The three deputies, after about 1 1/2 days of investigation, requested the Ohio Bureau of Identification and Investigation take control of the probe. Sutherland fired Spencer on Aug. 13 after having put his former evidence officer on paid administrative leave for about two weeks.
Shell, Spencer's defense attorney, in a Sept. 11 letter to Leffler, wrote that he was "confident that Matt did nothing wrong in regard to his insurance claim and that he took nothing from the evidence room that was not authorized by court order or the sheriff."
The attorney suggested Spencer "and other members of the sheriff's office" take a polygraph exam. Shell has said Leffler declined his offer, which Shell believed would have resolved the case.
Spencer worked for the Greenwich Police Department for three years, starting Sept. 25, 1997. He became a deputy March 15, 2000 and resigned to be the Greenwich police chief for about a month in May 2003.
After resigning for personal reasons, Spencer rejoined the sheriff's office.

The highly-successful, after school Compass Program at Newark Middle School will not only continue for another three years, but is being expanded this fall to include elementary grades.
The highly-successful, after school Compass Program at Newark Middle School will not only continue for another three years, but is being expanded this fall to include elementary grades.
Retiring Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Instruction Yvonne Saner, who is working this summer to help prepare for the new school year, said the extension and expansion of the program is due to a three-year, $3.6 million federal 21st Century Community Learning Center grant being cooperatively awarded to Newark, Lyons, North-Rose Wolcott and Clyde Savannah school districts.
Having applied for the grant as a consortium, the districts will divide $1.2 million each year to fund their individual programs.
In Newark, the Compass Program has been running both an after school and summer program at Newark Middle School and in September will be expanded to include Kindergarten through fifth grades.
The program is designed to enhance interest in learning by providing academic support and enrichment opportunities in English Language Arts and math and a wide array of interesting activities and programs.
More than 300 NMS pupils have participated in the program during the last three years and participation has steadily increased each year. Nearly 75 students are participating each day this summer.
Former Lincoln School Principal Cindy Russell, who has served as site coordinator of the program for the last three years and who has decided not continue in the role this next year, is pleased that the program has not only received a new round of funding, but will be expanded.
"I think a lot of kids would have been very upset if the program had not received funding," Russell said. "The program has been successful and has grown. I think we have made a really positive difference.''
During the school year, the Compass Program has been divided in three sessions — fall, winter and spring. Each day after school, students who were registered in the program, had a half-hour social time during which they a snack in the cafeteria and could talk with friends. The next hour was devoted to academics either in "Homework Harbor" or math or ELA enrichment activities from 3 to 4 p.m.
The last 90 minutes of the schedule, from 4 to 5:30 p.m., was devoted to a wide choice of enrichment activities and programs. Depending on the day, activities could include pottery-making, healthy cooking and baking, martial arts, Zumba, Fun and Fitness, community service-related activities and more.
Compass Program students are not required to participate each day or even for the full three hours each day.
"They could attend only one activity a week if they liked,'' Russell said. "The only requirement is that they be registered."
Russell said district staff helped students during the academic hour and various presenters, that could include either staff or representatives from outside agencies — were in charge of the 90-minute programs each day.
Page 2 of 2 - The summer school Compass program runs Monday through Wednesdays from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. and from 8:30 until sometime in the afternoon on Thursdays depending on the activities planned.
Russell said activities involving parents have also been held four times each year and participation rate by parents has been great.
Saner says she thinks the Compass Program has been motivating to kids and has helped a lot of students find new interests.
And because of the myriad program offerings, she said many students have found new interests in things they may have never been exposed to without the Compass Program.
"Our belief when we started the program is that it would give students an opportunity to be exposed to a wide range of enrichment activities and get them excited about learning,'' Saner said. "And it has worked out well.''
Saner credited Russell and her staff for the success of the first three years of the program.
"Cindy and her staff have done a phenomenal job. We couldn't have asked for a bigger success story,'' Saner said. "The more we connect kids to school, the better chance they have to stay with us and finish. This program has created more connections to learning for a group of students who didn't have that connection before the program. It's been a magnet."
She said the new site coordinator will oversee both the Middle School and elementary Compass programs. The elementary program will likely be held at Perkins School.

Jerid Rosencrans v. Dover Images, Ltd. Court of Appeal, Fourth Appellate District, Division Two (February 16, 2011)
This case examined the scope of a release and waiver agreement, and whether such an agreement bars a claim for gross negligence.
Jerid Rosencrans sued the defendant Dover Images, Ltd. ("Dover") for negligence. Dover does business as Star West Motocross ("Star West"), and operates a motocross track. Before entering the track facility, patrons were required to stop their cars at a booth that was staffed by a Star West employee. At the booth, while the patron was in his or her car, the patron paid a fee and signed a release and waiver of liability. The document was titled, "Release and Waiver of Liability Assumption of Risk and Indemnity Agreement" (the "Release"), and underneath the title were approximately nine paragraphs. The paragraphs set forth the waiver and release. Under the paragraphs were multiple horizontal lines, separated into four columns, where patrons could print and sign their names. In the section where patrons signed their names, they were required to sign their names over the words "I have read this release."

Obama, in Colorado, to press for gun measures
Colorado Republicans fought the new legislation, contending that Democrats overreached and will be punished by the voters in November. Several county sheriffs have vowed not to enforce the new gun restrictions. Democrats contend that the measures are generally popular, especially among the suburban women who decide Colorado elections.
Obama's trip comes a day after a study commissioned by the National Rifle Association, which has opposed Obama's gun control measures, recommended that schools have trained, armed staffers to increase security for students. The American Federation of Teachers denounced the proposal.
With just days left before the Senate begins its debate, there were signs that sweeping congressional efforts to address gun violence have flagged.
A proposed ban on assault weapons has little hope of passage and the prospects for barring large-capacity magazines also seem difficult. Key senators have been unable to reach a bipartisan compromise that would require federal background checks for gun transactions between private individuals. Federal background checks currently apply only to sales handled by licensed gun dealers.
Carney said administration officials were looking for middle ground.
"We are working with lawmakers of both parties, and trying to achieve a compromise that can make this happen. Especially when it comes to the background checks," Carney told reporters. But he reiterated Obama's insistence that other measures get a vote.
Besides his stop in Denver, Obama will travel to San Francisco to attend fundraisers Wednesday and Thursday for Democratic Party organizations.
Associated Press writers Nicholas Riccardi in Denver and Alan Fram in Washington contributed to this report.

WWE SmackDown! vs. Raw?
