VANCOUVER, BRITISH COLUMBIA -- (Marketwire) -- 12/20/12 -- Cardero Resource Corp. (TSX:CDU)(NYSE MKT:CDY)(NYSE Amex:CDY)(FRANKFURT:CR5) ("Cardero" or the "Company") announces that it has re-priced and closed the first tranche of its non-brokered private placement announced October 31, 2012 to raise gross proceeds of $3,585,057.30. The Company has also arranged a private placement of 8,000,000 flow-through common shares at a price of $0.50 per share to raise gross proceeds of $4,000,000.
Non-brokered Private Placement
Due to market conditions, the Company has re-priced the non-brokered private placement announced October 31, 2012 ("Offering") from $0.55 to $0.45 per share. On December 19, 2012, the Company closed the first tranche of the Offering, issuing 7,966,794 shares to raise gross proceeds of $3,585,057.30. In connection with this first tranche closing, the Company paid cash finder's fees of $51,067.50 and issued 114,000 finder's warrants, with each finder's warrant exercisable to purchase one share at a price of $0.50 until December 19, 2013. As a result of the Company having arranged the flow-through private placement detailed below, the balance of the Offering has been reduced from 14,533,206 shares to 5,825,000 shares, and the Company anticipates closing the balance in a second tranche closing on or before January 14, 2013. All common shares issued or to be issued in the Offering will have a hold period in Canada of four months from date of issuance. All common shares issued or to be issued in the United States will be subject to resale restrictions under U.S. federal and state securities laws. The Company may pay a finder's fee in connection with a portion of the second tranche of the Offering equal to 5% of the gross proceeds of that portion of the Offering, payable in cash, plus that number of warrants equal to 5% of the number of common shares sold under that portion of the Offering, with each warrant exercisable to purchase one common share at a price of $0.50 for one year from the closing of the second tranche of the Offering. Certain insiders of the Company have participated in the first tranche of the Offering. The Company has determined that there are exemptions available from the various requirements of Multilateral Instrument 61-101 for the issuance of any common shares issued to insiders. There will not be any change of control as a result of the Offering.
The net proceeds from the Offering are intended to be used to fund the preparation of the bankable feasibility study, coal quality analyses and environmental baseline work on the Carbon Creek Metallurgical Coal project, as well as ongoing work programs and property payments on the Sheini Hills Iron Ore project in Ghana and for general working capital.
Completion of the second tranche of the Offering is subject to the approval thereof by the NYSE-MKT.
Flow-through Private Placement
The Company has arranged a non-brokered private placement of up to 8,000,000 flow-through common shares at a price of $0.50 per share for gross proceeds of up to $4,000,000 (the "FT Offering"). All common shares issued in the FT Offering will have a hold period in Canada of four months from the closing of the FT Offering. The Company may pay a finder's fee in connection with the FT Offering equal to 6% of the gross proceeds of that portion of the FT Offering, payable in cash, plus that number of warrants equal to 6% of the number of common shares sold under that portion of the FT Offering, with each warrant exercisable to purchase one common share at a price of $0.55 for one year from the closing of the FT Offering.
The Company anticipates that the FT Offering will close on or before December 31, 2012. Completion of the FT Offering is subject to the acceptance for filing thereof by the Toronto Stock Exchange ("TSX") and approval by the NYSE-MKT.
The gross proceeds of the FT Offering will be used by the Company and one or more subsidiary entities of the Company to incur Canadian Exploration Expenses in connection with the Carbon Creek Metallurgical Coal project in north-eastern BC.
The common shares issued and to be issued in the Offering and the FT Offering have not been and will not be registered under the U.S. Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act") or any applicable securities laws of any state of the United States and may not be offered or sold in the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons (as defined in Regulation S under the 1933 Act) or persons in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from such registration requirements. This press release shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy any of the common shares to be issued in the Offering, nor shall there be any offer or sale of the common shares to be issued in the Offering in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such jurisdiction.

I wanted to gather all of my Internet of Things (IOT) blogs into a single blog (that I could later use with my University of San Francisco (USF) Big Data "MBA" course). However as I started to pull these blogs together, I realized that my IOT discussion lacked a vision; it lacked an end point towards which an organization could drive their IOT envisioning, proof of value, app dev, data engineering and data science efforts. And I think that the IOT end point is really quite simple…

A critical component of any IoT project is what to do with all the data being generated. This data needs to be captured, processed, structured, and stored in a way to facilitate different kinds of queries. Traditional data warehouse and analytical systems are mature technologies that can be used to handle certain kinds of queries, but they are not always well suited to many problems, particularly when there is a need for real-time insights.

Early adopters of IoT viewed it mainly as a different term for machine-to-machine connectivity or M2M. This is understandable since a prerequisite for any IoT solution is the ability to collect and aggregate device data, which is most often presented in a dashboard. The problem is that viewing data in a dashboard requires a human to interpret the results and take manual action, which doesn't scale to the needs of IoT.

Rihanna may be all about "work, work, work, work, work, work" on her electric first ANTI single, but crafting the track was way more playful than you'd probably expect.
On Monday, Rih shared a candid behind-the-scenes vid of her working on "Work." The clip is pretty brief — and there's no Drake cameo, unfortunately — but it does give us a glimpse of the chill atmosphere she and her crew maintain in the studio. We see Rih (dressed casually in fringed gray sweatpants and a matching gray sweatshirt) blaze up, sip red wine and laugh with her friend, who tries (and fails) to mimic the song's hook. "This feels real good," the friend tells her about the track. No arguing there.
While there's still no word on a premiere date for the "Work" music vid, fans have been circulating a pic of Rih and Drake with Director X, who also helmed Drizzy's "Hotline Bling."

In short clips from her Snapchat, Rihanna rocks the same multicolored mesh dress while dancing in a dimly lit club as "Work" plays in the background.

Flickr Android app finally arrives
Flickr, the image hosting site with more than 50 million users, has finally come to the Android party - with its first official app hitting the Android Market.
As well as all the usual stuff you'd expect from a Flickr app, like photo browsing and managing your streams you can also use the in-app camera to create pictures using the custom filters that are available.
It's then easy to share your pictures with all the usual suspects; Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr and so on, all within easy reach from inside the app.
Flickr is pretty community driven and, as such, there's already an official Flickr Android App group where you can share pictures and get hints and tips from other users.
As well as the app, Flickr has also introduced a new feature called Photo Session which lets you bore your friends, sorry, share your pictures in real time - across multiple devices. Like a slide show for the 21st century.
The Flickr Android app is available now, as is Photo Sessions.

During the 2008 campaign the beliefs of various candidates' spiritual mentors has attracted a great deal of attention, especially those of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and to a lesser extent those of John Hagee, who endorsed John McCain. So now seems an opportune time to examine the viewpoints of Sarah Palin's two most recent pastors, as expressed in their sermons.
Since becoming governor in 2006, Palin has attended the Juneau Christian Center, where Mike Rose serves as senior pastor. Her previous pastor was David Pepper of the Church on the Rock in Palin's hometown of Wasilla — a church that "was kind of a foundation for her."
Of the two, Rose is certainly the more politically active, both locally and in the broader evangelical community (with ties to Hagee's Christians United for Israel, for example). Pepper, it should be noted, is outspoken on slavery, racism, and the massacres of Native Americans, all of which he terms "sins" that still cast a long shadow on minority communities.
Sebastian Jones found links to many sermons by Rose and by Pepper. The excerpts below come from his review.
Mike Rose, senior pastor at Juneau Christian Center
From an April 27, 2008 sermon: "If you really want to know where you came from and happen to believe the word of God that you are not a descendant of a chimpanzee, this is what the word of God says. I believe this version."
From a July 8, 2007 sermon: "Those that die without Christ have a horrible, horrible surprise."
From a July 28, 2007 sermon: "Do you believe we're in the last days? After listening to Newt Gingrich and the prime minister of Israel and a number of others at our gathering, I became convinced, and I have been convinced for some time. We are living in the last days. These are incredible times to live in."
David Pepper, senior pastor at Church on the Rock:
From an November 25, 2007 sermon: "The purpose for the United States is… to glorify God. This nation is a Christian nation."
From an October 28, 2007 sermon: "God will not be mocked. I don't care what the ACLU says. God will not be mocked. I don't care what atheists say. God will not be mocked. I don't care what's going on in the nation today with so much horrific rebellion and sin and things that take place. God will not be mocked. Judgment Day is coming. Where do you stand?"
From an October 28, 2007 sermon: "Just giving in a little bit is a disastrous thing…You can't serve both man and God. It is one or the other."
Christian conservatives like Gary Bauer, Tony Perkins, and James Dobson have hailed McCain's selection of Palin. Dobson, the head of Focus on the Family, vowed earlier this year never to support McCain. However, within hours of Palin's addition to the G.O.P. ticket, he had changed his tune, saying, he had "not been so excited about a political candidate since Ronald Reagan." Given the viewpoints expressed by Palin's pastors, it's easy to understand why Christian conservatives are so excited.
Note: Many hours of Mike Rose's sermons are available here. Numerous sermons of David Pepper's can be reviewed here.
Update: The Huffington Post reports that Palin was baptized at and long attended the Wasilla Assembly of God. The church's pastor is a firm believer in the approaching end times and suggests that criticism of President Bush for his handling of Katrina was, "not going to get you anywhere, you know, except for hell. "

How pro-oil Louisiana politicians have shaped American environmental policy
In Havana, the past year has been marked by a parade of bold-faced names from the north — John Kerry reopening the United States Embassy; Andrew Cuomo bringing a delegation of American business leaders; celebrities ranging from Joe Torre, traveling on behalf of Major League Baseball to oversee an exhibition game between the Tampa Bay Rays and the Cuban national team, to Jimmy Buffett, said to be considering opening one of his Margaritaville restaurants there. All this culminated with a three-day trip in March by Barack Obama, the first American president to visit Cuba since Calvin Coolidge in 1928. But to those who know the city well, perhaps nothing said as much about the transformation of political relations between the United States and Cuba that began in December 2014 as a concert in the Tribuna Antiimperialista.

Lost Weekends
If ever there were a night made for the kind of brain-bashing mayhem that results in permanent memory loss, itd be Saturday. And if ever there were a punk club made for the kind of epic Saturdays youd totally love to remember, itd be Churchills Pub. No shock, then, this weekend is gonna be another rager full of forgotten moments, and its gonna be called Killer Night.
Kicking off at 8 p.m., the riffage will be overabundant as four brutal crews bring some borderline dangerous fun to the Little Haiti party room. Led by Austin-slash-NYC one-woman rock show White Widow (AKA Carla Patullo) and her two-piece backing band of bassist Colleen Bonner and drummer Marty Mack, the lineup will also include local heavies Murderous Rampage, Shroud Eater, and Flees. For her part, White Widow delivers gritty pop punches that sound something like PJ Harvey Frenching Live Through This-era Courtney Love. Our Miami boys, meanwhile, prefer to wallow in the more sludgy, thrashy, and hardcore end of the punk pool. Theres a $5 cover. Now go get lost.

Masterchef: The Professionals, BBC Two | TV reviews, news & interviews
Masterchef: The Professionals, BBC Two
A phenomenal final trio prove, in a trial by fire, who has the X factor in cooking
There are all sorts of reality shows, but the best ones really do strip people bare. It's the reason why The X Factor is more interesting than Strictly Come Dancing, why Don't Tell the Bride is more revealing of the gamble of love than Snog, Marry, Avoid? It's the reason why Masterchef: The Professionals is more gripping than the estimable Great British Bake-Off.
While it's cheering to see talented amateurs like you and me win the original Masterchef, the most popular in the franchise, it's far more exciting to see the culinary genius that so many college-trained chefs, beavering away in the noisy obscurity of kitchens all over Britain, uncover in the Professional version. No year has had more edge-of-seat thrills than this year's, despite a long slow burn over 24 episodes, which ended last night with a win that to my mind states that something more profound, more theatrical, more about the art of creating joy than just eating well is going on in British cooking.
The paradox is that you actually can't taste the food in Masterchef. It's like discussing painting on the radio - an act of breathtaking cheek. Because even when plates are offered dressed with a visual artistry that miraculously crosses Jackson Pollock and Richard Dadd, what actually counts is entirely out of reach of the TV audience - taste, flavour, aroma, temperature.
This means the judges need exceptional selecting. Competing in dodgy superlatives may pass for the normal Masterchef, but for The Professionals - with a final in which they cook for 34 3-star and 2-star chefs - there comes the tranquil pleasure when chief judge Michel Roux Jr, patron of Le Gavroche, has passed through the patronising whirlwind of "exceptionals" and "sublimes" and reaches the sincere accolade of "this is very good cooking", one master to another.
That happened several times in last night's final, when three cooks of evidently stupendous talent competed for the title. All of them were what some might call in today's hokey-academic climes underachievers. Two started in kitchens from 15 or 16, another drifted into it at 19. One learned as a tot from his grandma, another would get her brother to pay her to make family breakfast, the third grew up in the Tasmanian bush eating veg from his family garden. All three had Roux speechless at times, and dimpled über-grocer Gregg Wallace rolling in the lard of his own clichés. All three drew plaudits from the roomful of multi-starred masterchefs, memorably pared down to the envious basic, "If you cook like that in a restaurant, you'll be busy every day," from one of them.

Public Pay and the Cost of Transparency
Many public officials don't want their compensation posted online for all to see. That's understandable. But making government workers' pay public is probably inevitable, and it raises some difficult questions.
In his book "The Turnaround," Bill Bratton, the former chief of police of Boston, New York City and Los Angeles, tells the story of his interview with John Miller, an investigative reporter for a local television station who was one of the finalists to be the New York police department's deputy commissioner for public information. "'Tell me again,' I asked. 'You make $600,000 a year and you want this job that pays $95,000?' You had to wonder about his sanity." (Miller took the job.)
Do you have to be crazy to want to be a public employee these days? And, ultimately, how much were Bill Bratton and John Miller worth to the citizens of New York City?
That's just one of the questions that came to mind as I read Mike Maciag's article on Governing.com, "Disclosing Public Employee Pay Troubles Some Officials," and watched the reaction it provoked. Governing's research division surveyed more than 200 senior state and local officials across the country. Thirty percent of these officials thought that their pay should not be considered part of the public record, while half said they would react negatively to their names and salaries posted online.
The story touched a nerve. It's received thousands of page views, has been at the top of the "most viewed" list on Governing.com, and has generated dozens of strongly worded online comments.
I wasn't surprised that some of those surveyed don't want their pay considered part of the public record and that they especially balked at having their names and salaries posted online. Government employees have the same privacy concerns as other people, even when they recognize that by accepting a government job they will be subject to greater scrutiny than people who work for private employers. In addition, as is very apparent in the tone of the online comments, some government employees feel disrespected, defensive and unfairly singled out for problems far beyond their control. Making their salaries part of the public record just gives their critics one more hammer to hit them with.
For me, the article brought some other questions to mind:
• Is working for government an honorable way to make a living? And if it is not, how can we expect good and decent people to want to work for us as government employees?
• Are all government employees public officials? I think there's a clear and important distinction to be made between officials — those with leadership responsibility — and the average computer programmer, firefighter or schoolteacher. For public officials, all information should be easily available, but for rank-and-file workers, it seems to me that making their names and individual salaries available online simply adds an unnecessary barrier to attracting the best candidates.
And what about private contractors' and nonprofits' employees who, more than ever, do work that was once performed by government employees? Tax dollars are involved in either case, and so should employees of those organizations meet the same disclosure requirements as the government workers they are replacing?
• Does making names and salaries available online curb corruption? In Maciag's article, Daniel Schuman, policy counsel for the Sunlight Foundation, asserts that the public information acts as a deterrent to corruption, and gives the example of Bell, Calif., where city officials were charged with malfeasance only after a series of reports revealed that they were receiving extravagantly large salaries. Would disclosure before the fact have prevented the abuses in Bell from occurring? Possibly, but it seems to me that sound systems of internal control and governance are far more effective in deterring public corruption.
• Finally — and most important — what is the public-policy objective? What does making public the names and salaries of rank-and-file public work cost us in terms of employee morale and dedication? And is it worth the cost? High-performing, cost-effective organizations are those with fewer employees-better trained, better equipped, better managed and better paid.
The principle invoked in publishing names and salaries of rank and file employees is transparency, but it seems to me that there are clearly some types of information that should be disclosed and some that should not be. Transparency cannot mean that every bit of information is available to anyone in the public at any time. Distinctions must be made. How shall we make them?
The erosion of privacy continues for all of us, regardless of how we make a living. It's virtually impossible for politicians to resist the pressure to make detailed information on public-employee compensation public, whether people who work in government like it or not. What matters is what we do with the information. We should all remember this: You get what you pay for, and we don't want people to have to be crazy to want to work for our governments.

I wish people would read the ruling from the 9th Circuit. It applies ONLY to the state of California and does nothing on a federal level.

your right it does and that maybe why the supreme court decides to side step that case. while the 9th circuit ruing could be used to claim precedent in future cases from other states the supreme court ruling on the case one way or the other will set precedent for future cases from other states. it will be interesting to see how they handle this case.

what about the rights of the voters in CA who strongly supported Prop 8 and who have been abandoned by their governor and state attorney general. Don't they have the right to have their case taken to the SCOTUS?

@lost in dc
Not every case appaled to the supreme court goes before them. Usually case are taken up when there are conflicting rulings from two or more separate cases on an issue and since as Edith points out this ruling is unique to California (gay people had the right to marry and did then it was taken away) there is no conflicting rulings. The other thing that I do not think most people understand is that they will not be allowed to submit new arguments and since there is no conflicting rulings the only thing the court will really be looking at is if there may have been a serious misinterpretation of the constitutional law by the two lower courts that may lead to a change in the decision if reviewed by the supreme court, a rather high bar. A ruling by the supreme court on this case would set a precedent that could effect other states far more directly then if they allow the lower court ruling to stand. I think that is why they are likely to side step this case and take on the other cases where there are conflicting rulings.

thank you for the expanded explanation.
However, while the case may only apply to CA, it does not change the fact CA voters were abandoned by their elected officials.
Another issue I have, and you can/will correct me if I am incorrect, is the ruling can possibly be used for precedent in other remotely similar cases.
Gay people have ALWAYS had the right to marry - they do in Utah and all the other states than ban same-sex marriage, as long as the follow the same rules the rest of us follow - find someone of the opposite sex who has reached the age of consent who will have you, and you can marry.

Amazing! In the mid-east countries, gays are executed.
In the United States of America, we have the freedom to discuss gay marriage, and rights.
God bless America.

You are right that iIt can be used to argue precedent however a decision by scouts could invalidate existing laws and would at the least hold mor weight if used to argue precedents in less closely related cases.

lost in DC: "what about the rights of the voters in CA who strongly
supported Prop 8..?"
KJK: What about the Virginia voters that supported laws restricting marriage to one's own race? Was the Supreme Court right to overturn those voters?
lost in DC: "Gay people have ALWAYS had the right to marry - they do in Utah and all the other states than ban same-sex marriage, as long as the follow the same rules the rest of us follow - find someone of the opposite sex who has reached the age of consent who will have you, and you can marry."
KJK: The same applied to that Virginia law. Blacks and Whites were treated equally. Both could only marry within their race. What's wrong with that? Also, Christians in Saudi Arabia have the same religious rights as Muslims. Both have equal rights to read the Koran and attend mosques. Isn't that the same logic you're using? Both Christians in Saudi Arabia and gays here choose not to take advantage of the rights offered them. Why should either of them get "special rights"?

Texas A&M Athletics: No Longer a Bridesmaid to UT?
Maybe, just maybe, Texas A&M is about to stop being the University of Texas-Austin's bitch.
On Thursday, the Texas A&M Board of Regents will meet in a closed-door, informational confab, according to a San Antonio Express-News report, to discuss the Longhorn Network, a 24-hour-a-day channel that will carry UT-centric programming. (The item is currently listed on the lengthy agenda under the "Big 12 Conference" bullet point. As of the time this post was published, Texas A&M had not returned Hair Balls' request for comment.)
In June, the University of Texas and IMG College inked a $300-million deal with ESPN to carry live Longhorn sports and educational episodes for the next 20 years. In the process, the future integrity of the Longhorn Network has been called into question as it prepares for its launch on August 26.
Though nothing is set in stone, the programming may include live telecasts of high-school football games, which could put UT at a recruiting advantage by swaying on-the-fence kids to commit to a Longhorn sports program. Needless to say, you can bet that A&M, as well as the other Big 12 schools, will be watching the station as its modus operandi evolves.

A&M does have the option of leaving the Big 12. Because the proposed mega Pac-16 Conference fell through last summer, the next best option would be a move to the Southeastern Conference, which A&M flirted with during conference-expansion talks. The deadline for 2012 divisional migrations expired on July 1, so the soonest the Aggies -- or any other Big 12 university for that matter -- could bounce is 2013.
Regardless of how things shake out, hopes are higher in College Station than they are in Austin for a successful 2011 football season, as many college-football experts are picking A&M to post up right behind Oklahoma in the Big 12 pecking order.

Will Skidmore's RBI fielder's choice in the bottom of the sixth inning gave host Piedmont a 4-3 lead and the Lions would hang on over the final three innings to take a 7-3 victory over Covenant on Tuesday night.
The Scots end the regular season with a 25-13 overall record. Covenant will participate in the NCCAA Mid-East Regional Tournament on May 9-11 in Nashville, Tenn.
Skidmore's RBI came after Covenant had rallied to tie the score at 3-3 in the top of the sixth. Scott Gillespie led off the inning with a triple and was driven in on a Sterling Witt single. Witt then advanced to second on a passed ball before Perry Rigby plated him with an RBI single. Covenant threatened to do more damage with runners at second and third and one out, but could not capitalize any further.
After Piedmont regained the lead in the sixth, the Lions added three more runs in the eighth to pull away. Skidmore and Kevin D'Antignac had run-scoring singles to highlight the frame.
The Scots had a brief 1-0 lead after the top of the fourth, when Chris Rollins doubles with two outs and was followed by a Paul Phillips RBI single. Piedmont would answer with a three-run fifth inning.
Covenant reliever Alec Mitchell (5-4) suffers the loss for the Scots as he allowed four runs, three earned, in three innings of work. Starter Alhanon Miller went five innings and gave up three runs, one earned, on four hits while striking out five.
Covenant recorded eight hits on the night with David Lockwood and Gillespie getting two apiece. It is Lockwood's 17th multi-hit game of the season and Gillespie's 14th.
Allen Tokarz (4-3) picks up the win in relief for the Lions who move to 20-21 on the year. Keith Grabowski led the Lions' 10-hit attack going 3-for-3 with a pair of runs scored. Skidmore, D'Antignac, and Austin Brick each had two RBIs.
Stay tuned to athletics.covenant.edu for the latest news with regards to Covenant's postseason matchups and game times.

Blockbuster 'Hunger Games' actor has Ephrata roots
By: TIFFANY WOODALL Review Staff, Staff Writer
Ethan Jamieson is no ordinary 13-year-old, unless ordinary includes appearing in a major motion picture, attending a Hollywood premiere and mingling with celebrities.
This middle school hockey player landed a role in "The Hunger Games," a film that grossed $155 million in its debut last weekend.
Ethan is the son of former Ephrata resident Lori (Imhoff) Jamieson, who graduated from Ephrata High School in 1981. Lori later married and moved with her family to Raleigh, N.C., where they currently reside.
Based on a series of books by Suzanne Collins, "The Hunger Games" depicts a future society where the country is divided into 12 districts, and every district must be represented by a boy and a girl (called tributes) who compete in a televised competition. Each competition is essentially a death match as only one child can win. Ethan was cast as the boy tribute for District 4.
"I knew that the books were popular, but I didn't know that the movie was going to be so big," said Ethan, who read the books prior to filming the movie. Big is an understatement. While attending the Los Angeles red carpet premiere, Ethan was swamped signing autographs for fans who recognized him. "I thought that was pretty awesome," he said.
It's hard to miss his curly hair.
But fans weren't the only ones paying attention to him. Among the media outlets interviewing him on the red carpet were E! News and VH1. "I wasn't so sure about it, but I did enjoy that [red carpet]. It was fun," he said.
Meeting other actresses and actors and hanging out with them was Ethan's favorite aspect of the experience. "At the premiere I met Kid Cudi," he said, an artist who had a song on the movie soundtrack. "I was pretty excited about that."
Mom had her eyes on a different celebrity. "Lenny Kravitz was much cuter," she teased.
"My mom was star-struck to meet Lenny Kravitz," said Ethan.
"I just couldn't, couldn't do it," said Lori.
Ethan himself doesn't get star-struck, he said. And as for his friends back home, he doesn't let them get struck by his fame, but "they think it's pretty cool, I guess," he said.
Spending up to two weeks at a time away from home on various film-related trips might not affect his friendships, but it makes completing schoolwork a challenge. "I guess we just try to make time for both. It doesn't always work out, but…" Ethan trailed off as Lori added, "sometimes it gets a little crazy."
A few summers of theatre camp is what sparked Ethan's interest in acting. After two summer camps, he signed up for John Robert Powers acting school where he participated in a talent showcase. He acquired agents in Los Angeles and Raleigh and began booking acting jobs.
Before auditioning and landing "The Hunger Games," Ethan appeared in a couple commercials for Cici's Pizza and Doritos and had small parts in the television shows "One Tree Hill" and "Eastbound and Down," among others. He has also performed in plays.
Despite his interest in the profession, Ethan doesn't think he'll pursue acting as a full-time career. "I want to be just a normal person," he said.
He still has a fairly normal teenage life, going fishing and playing basketball in the driveway. He's a pretty big Baltimore Ravens fan. Being the product of a Pennsylvania family, though, he's surrounded by Steeler nation.
"I feel like everybody likes the Steelers," he said, regardless of his North Carolina address. More 'HUNGER GAMES', page A15

curtis: I loved the speech! It was so nice to see him get revenge on the racist Trump! Remember the birther issue well now it's Barack's turn LOL. I loved it and I am going to love every second of them bringing up the fact that Trump is a cheat a liar a racist and a misogynist along with the fact that this man who supposedly speaks for the little guy has been bending them over and giving them his 4 inches(i may be being generous) up the poop shooter.
