For the AJC
Class A joins the post season march toward crowning two champions as the playoffs get started this weekend. Here are some facts about each of the 16 games.
No. 16 Hancock Central (5-5) at No. 1 Lincoln County (9-1). The teams faced each other two weeks ago in the regular season finale. Lincoln, the Region 7 champions, prevailed 27-8, even though the Red Devils rested most of their starters. The Bulldogs are 0-15 against Lincoln, with the closest game being a 28-15 loss last season. Running back Mike McIntire leads Lincoln with 1, 040 yards rushing, while quarterback Ben Turner has thrown for over 1,000 yards as well. Lincolnton is located just minutes from the South Carolina boarder.
No. 15 Greenville (5-5) at No. 2 Wilcox County (8-2). The only meeting between these two schools came during Wilcox's championship run in 2009. Wilcox, the Region 2 champions, won the second round playoff game 39-19. Wilcox County is located in Rochelle, about 90 minutes southeast of Macon. Greenville is the county seat of Meriwether County, about 90 minutes southwest of Atlanta.
No. 14 Gordon Lee (5-5) at No. 3 Emanuel County Institute (9-1). The Trojans from Chickamaugua in northwest Georgia made the post season tournament in spite of losing their last four games of the season. The Bulldogs, the Region 3 champions, have won their last eight games, and their only loss this season was to AAA Washington County, back on Sept. 7. ECI is located in Twin City, an hour east of Macon.
No. 13 Commerce (5-5) at No. 4 Seminole County (8-2). Seminole County is the two-time Region 1 champion, and has won seven in a row since starting the season 1-2. The school is located in Donaldsonville, tucked into the southwest corner of the state, about an hour southwest of Albany. The Tigers began the season 4-0 but lost five of their last six, including the season finale to Pinecrest Academy (31-21) in Cumming, a school just two seasons removed from competing in the Georgia Independent Schools Association (GISA). Commerce, home of the North Georgia Premium Outlets Mall, is about an hour northeast of Atlanta.
No. 12 Turner County (6-4) at No. 5 Dooly County (8-2). Dooly County, located in the county seat of Vienna, an hour south of Macon, finished in a three-way tie for first in Region 4 but lost the tie-breaker to Brookstone. The Bobcats feature the player many believe is the top defensive tackle in the country, Montravious Adams. Turner County, located in the county seat of Ashburn, is about 30 minutes south of Vienna. The teams have met 19 times, with Turner winning 10. However, Dooly won the most recent meeting, 27-6, in 2009.
No. 11 Trion (8-2) at No. 6 Irwin County (7-3). This is the first meeting between the two schools, most likely because they are located more than four hours apart. Irwin County is located 90 minutes south of Macon. The Indians had their best regular season since 2007, when they finished 7-3 but lost in the first round of the state playoffs (31-21 to Brookstone). Trion is located in Chattooga County, in northwest Georgia along the Alabama boarder, about 30 minutes north of Rome. This is the Bulldogs' best season since 2003 when they finished 12-2 and advanced to the state semifinals.
No. 10 Charlton County (5-5) at No. 7 Marion County (8-2). Marion County, located in Buena Vista, an hour southwest of Macon, finished in a three-way tie for first in Region 4 but lost the tie-breakers to both Brookstone and Dooly County. The Eagles were the two-time defending region champs. Charlton County, located in the county seat of Folkston in the southeastern tip of the state along the Florida boarder, suffered through its worst regular season in the 23-year tenure of head coach Rich McWhorter. It was the first time the Indians failed to win at least six regular season games since 1989, the year prior to McWhorter's arrival.
No. 9 Wilkinson County (7-3) at No. 8 Miller County (8-2). Miller County is located in the county seat of Colquitt, about 45 minutes southwest of Albany, near the Alabama and Florida boarders. The Pirates had won seven in a row before losing their season finale, 20-0 to Seminole County, in a game that decided the Region 1 championship. Wilkinson County is located in the county seat if Irwinton, 30 minutes east of Macon. The Warriors have advanced to the state semifinals twice in the last four seasons (2008 and 2010). Miller won the lone previous meeting between the two schools, 32-36, in the second round of the 1999 playoffs.
No. 16 Mt. Pisgah Christian (6-4) at No. 1 Athens Academy (10-0). The Spartans, the Region 8 champions, are one of only two teams in all of Class A that finished with an unblemished regular season record. Athens Academy, led by 14 seniors, has won seven region titles but is in search of its first state championship. In the two previous games between the two (2006-2007), Athens Academy has won both by a combined margin of 66-14. This is the Patriots' first trip to the playoffs since joining the Georgia High Schools Association in 2006.
No. 15 Our Lady of Mercy (6-4) at No. 2 Eagle's Landing Christian Academy (9-1). ELCA's only loss this season was to AAA Washington County (24-19) back on Aug. 24. The Chargers, the three-time Region 5 champs, have outscored their opponents this season by an average score of 47-7. They beat Mercy 49-0, back on Oct. 19. Both teams are led by players currently committed to Big 10 schools — Mercy CB/ATH Rashard Fant (Indiana) and ELCA RB/LB Keyante Green (Purdue).
No. 14 Athens Christian (4-6) at No. 3 Walker (10-0). The Wolverines, the Region 6 champions, join Athens Academy as the only undefeated teams in the playoffs. Walker, located in Marietta, is led by RB/DB/ATH Evan Kasian, who has accounted for nearly 2,000 yards of offense. Athens Christian is the only team in either tournament with a losing record. This is the first meeting between the two schools.
No. 13 First Presbyterian Day (6-4) at No. 4 Brookstone (8-2). Brookstone, located in Columbus, won a three-way tie with Dooly County and Marion County for the Region 4 championship, the seventh in school history. The Cougars have never won a state title. FPD (6-4), located in Macon, is in its third season competing in the GHSA. The Vikings won GISA state titles in 1980 and 1985.
No. 12 Landmark (7-3) at No. 5 Calvary Day (9-1). This is a rematch of the season opener for both teams. Calvary Day, located in Savannah, won 28-21 at Landmark, located in Fairburn. That game was a rematch of last season's second round matchup, which Landmark won 21-7 in Savannah. The War Eagles went on to advance to the state final.
No. 11 George Walton Academy (7-3) at No. 6 Aquinas (8-2). This is a rematch of a game played Sept. 7, which Aquinas won, 28-21, in overtime, at George Walton, located in Monroe, midway between Atlanta and Athens. It is the only previous meeting between the schools. Aquinas, located in Augusta, has improved every year in the four-year tenure of head coach Matt Lezotte. Last season the Irish advanced to the state quarterfinals before losing 28-21 at home to eventual state runner-up Landmark. George Walton is in its third season in the GHSA. The Bulldogs won four GISA state titles, including 2009, their last season in that association. The teams are led by players that could become rivals on the next level – Aquinas RB/FB Brendan Douglas, a senior committed to Georgia Tech, and junior RB/DB Stanley "Boom" Williams who said last month that he is "90 percent committed" to Georgia.
No. 10 Holy Innocents (6-4) at No. 7 Savannah Christian (7-3). Savannah Christian is the reigning state champion. The Raiders lost a lot of experience off of last year's team – including college players DeAngelo Tyson (Louisville) and Nardo Govan (Georgia Southern) – and began the season 0-2, prior to reeling off seven straight. But they were thumped in the region title game by ECI, the No. 3 seed in the public school playoffs, 48-14. Holy Innocents, located in Sandy Springs, lost its final regular season game as well, 36-3 to No. 12 seed Landmark. This is the first meeting between the two teams.
No. 9 Prince Avenue Christian (8-2) at No. 8 Darlington (7-3). Darlington, located in Rome, was denied its fourth consecutive region title this season when it lost to Mt. Zion-Carroll (20-17). The Tigers won a state title in 1998, and claim championships in 1914 and 1915. PAC, located in Athens, went undefeated last season until it lost in the semifinals, 27-0, to eventual champion Savannah Christian. Darlington won the only previous meeting between the two schools, 49-13, in the first round of the 2010 playoffs.

Seattle, WA (Sports Network) - The Kansas City Royals will officially miss out on the postseason for the 28th consecutive year.
The Royals ran into a buzzsaw in Hisashi Iwakuma, who spun eight scoreless innings to cap his brilliant season and the Seattle Mariners' 6-0 win in the rubber match of this three-game series.
Iwakuma (14-6) allowed only four hits, struck out nine and walked just one as his ERA dipped to 2.66, good for third in the AL.
"It sort of caps off the year he had. He just keeps getting stronger. Every start is getting better and better," said Mariners catcher Mike Zunino.
Zunino hit two solo home runs, Michael Saunders also went deep and Kyle Seager added a two-run double in the win, Seattle's second straight via shutout.
Ervin Santana (9-10) was tagged for four runs on five hits and four walks over six-plus innings in defeat. The loss, coupled with the Cleveland Indians' win on Wednesday, eliminated Kansas City from the wild card race.
"We put ourselves in the situation to maybe find a way to sneak in, but we just came up a little short," Gordon said. "It's unfortunate, but we've got four more games and we're going to try to finish the season strong."
The Mariners' bats were silent through the first four innings before waking up in the fifth.
Zunino led off with his fourth home run of the year -- a no-doubter to left field -- and Brad Miller, who made a leaping grab at short to start an inning- ending double play in the top half, doubled two batters later.
Nick Franklin followed with a walk and both runners scored on Seager's double down the right-field line.
Dustin Ackley scored in the seventh on Will Smith's throwing error, and Smith served up back-to-back blasts to Saunders and Zunino in the eighth.
Iwakuma retired 10 of the final 11 batters he faced, and Charlie Furbush shook off a leadoff double in the ninth to secure the shutout.
Iwakuma, who finished the year having thrown 23 straight scoreless innings,

Just installed and C3D is going like greased lightning - starts up faster and seems more responsive... so thumbs up so far from me...
Hi Neil,
I haven't heard that a Hotfix 2.1 for Civil 3D 2013 is out and don't see it on the Autodesk site. The latest I find is Hotfix 2.
I'm almost afraid to ask....
I installed Hotifx 2.0 before it got pulled. C3D has been going OK, so that HF is still in place. Can I just apply HF2.1 over the top of it?
- Mick
OK, I ran it over the top of HF2.0 and haven't fallen into any deathtraps....yet.
I know what you mean, I put it on my home computer, but will give it a good trial before it goes on at work as well

• Junior varsity volleyball: The Lady Panthers enjoyed a successful showing last weekend in the conference duals in Lovell by posting a 3-1 mark. PHS opened the event by losing to Jackson in two sets, but the Lady Panthers rebounded to win their next three matches against Lyman, Kemmerer and Pinedale.
As a team, PHS served with 89 percent accuracy with a total of 21 aces. Shelby McIntosh recorded a team-high 10 aces, and Stephanie Paul, Liz Tilley and Alli Trustem added five aces each.
The Lady Panthers also finished with 64 kills during the tournament, including 18 by Tia Ibarra, 14 by Leslie Thronburg and 12 by Trustem.
Trustem also finished with a team-leading 19 set assists, and McIntosh added 18. As team, the Lady Panthers had 52 set assists during their matches.
Among the leaders in blocks for PHS were Ibarra with four and Tilley with three. Tamara Brown paced PHS in digs with 50, and Hannah Groves and McIntosh added 21 and 19, respectively.
Prior to last weekend's conference duals, the Lady Panthers defeated Thermopolis (25-18, 18-25, 25-22) on Oct. 4 and Cody (26-24, 14-25, 25-17) Oct. 2.

Following three years serving as the back-up in Los Angeles, newly acquired Maple Leafs goaltender Jonathan Bernier says he's "ready for the challenge" of battling James Reimer for the number one spot in Toronto. Speaking on Leafs Lunch with Bryan Hayes and Jamie McLennan on Thursday, Bernier said it was "very hard" at times being entrenched behind Jonathan Quick and is now excited at the prospect of getting an opportunity to compete with Reimer for the top spot with the Leafs. "I'm ready for the challenge," Bernier said. "I've been waiting three years for that and now I finally get some playing time so I'm very excited to come and I'll be ready."
The 11th overall pick in the 2006 draft explained he learned a lot from backing up the 2012 Conn Smythe Trophy winner for three seasons and although it was frustrating, he used it as a learning tool.
"It was very hard. Sometimes motivation was pretty low but I know at the end of the day, when I look back at this, it's going to make me a stronger person and a stronger player and it was good for me to learn from one of the best goalies in the league."
Coming off his best year statistically, in which he posted a 9-3-1 record to go along with a .922 save percentage and 1.88 goals against average, Bernier said he welcomes the competition with the Leafs incumbent goaltender and believes in having a supportive relationship with his fellow netminder, similar to what he had in L.A.
"I'm very happy, it's a great opportunity to come to Toronto with James I think it's going to be a good battle," Bernier said. "It reminds me a little bit of when I got to the Kings. We kind of grew up together. Obviously the chemistry is key when you want to win and you want to play for each other, so that's the right way to do it."
Reflecting on his most recent season, Bernier said he was excited to embrace a larger role with Quick nursing a back injury.
"This year was really good for me. Johnny had back surgery so I kind of stepped in and played a little bit more at the start and it was nice to play some back-to-back games and start feeling like you still got it."
Talking about Bernier's 2012-13 season, Kings general manager Dean Lombardi told Dave Naylor on TSN Drive that "without Jonathan Bernier, I don't think we make the playoffs."
He went on to say that Bernier's play this season proved he was ready to make the leap to being a starting goaltender in the NHL.
"Clearly, (he has) the upside of a number one goalie," Lombardi said. "If you look at his pedigree to date, I don't think you could find another unproven number one who has done everything possible to prove he was a number one. Everything from what he did in the minors, to how he progressed at the NHL level and then certainly this year I think put him over the hump because not only did he play well, but he won big games."
Maple Leafs general manager Dave Nonis reflected on how he expects Bernier will fit into the Leafs' plans going forward earlier in the week when he spoke with Dave Naylor on TSN Drive, Tuesday afternoon.
"From our standpoint, it was the excitement about bringing in another top young goaltender into the organization and have Jonathan and James (Reimer) together," Nonis said. "I think it gives us probably, in my opinion, one of the top two punches of potential in the National Hockey League."
Nonis said he expects both goalies to compete for the number one spot and isn't worried about a potential conflict between the two.
"Well I think that's always a risk at any position," Nonis said. " It's a situation where we feel we have two guys with great potential and great character and there's no reason why they can't both compete hard for that job and push as hard as they can to keep control of the net."
Bernier said he's simply looking for an opportunity to challenge for a starting spot and believes Maple Leafs head coach Randy Carlyle will give him that.
"From what I've heard, they're kind of similar in a way because they're fair coaches and as a player that's what you want," Bernier said when asked about the similarities between Carlyle and his previous coach, Darryl Sutter.
At 5-foot-11 and 186 pounds, the 24-year-old is not among the bigger goalies in the NHL, but said he makes up for it with his hockey instincts.
"I'm not a very big goalie, so I need to be in good position. So I'd say reading the game is probably my biggest strength. When I'm on top of my game I can read two, three plays before it's going to happen and that's probably got me to where I am now."

Last thursday at D&AD New Blood I was lucky enough to attend an event run by publishers Laurence King. It was mainly a discussion between a few of the in-house team there, Laurence King himself, part time creative director Angus Hyland (also Partner at Pentagram) and the illustrator/author Marion Deuchars.
Was great to find out more about how a book gets published, from it's initial conception to the final design. As well as hearing their thoughts on how the publishing industry is changing. My particular highlight was hearing advice from Angus (pictured above, with his book cover designs below that), who is a bit of a hero of mine, not just for his work but also the wide range of other things he is involved in. Anyway his advice was;
He also said the 3 things he looks for in a designer;
Overall it was a great event, and lovely of Laurence King to have some students along. Go have a look at their website and buy some books! Would recommend some, but there are far too many great ones to choose from, so go see for yourself.

NASHVILLE, Tenn. (AP) - A Mexican national has pleaded guilty to document fraud in the making of phony IDs.
Federal prosecutors in Nashville say that 27-year-old Mario Bravo Romualdo admitted Friday to possessing equipment that would help him make the fake identification, including Green Cards and Social Security cards.
Prosecutors say he had blank cards bearing the seal of the United States Department of Justice and cards with names and emblems of various states.
Romualdo was arrested in October while attempting to sell fake documents. Three others were charged with him and their cases are pending.
He will be sentenced in July. He faces up to 15 years in prison and a fine of up to $250,000.

AP College Football Writer
NEW ORLEANS (AP) - LSU and Alabama will play for the BCS national championship, but many voters who cast ballots in the AP Top 25 are not committed to voting the winner of the game No. 1 in the final rankings.
Monday's game at the Superdome will be the first BCS championship to feature a rematch of a regular-season meeting. The Tigers beat the Crimson Tide 9-6 in overtime on the road, and a few voters say LSU already has done enough to earn their No. 1 vote.
The AP asked voters who cast ballots for its Top 25 a few questions before the BCS games, including: Would you consider voting LSU No. 1 if it lost?
Forty-4 of the 60 voters responded, and for many, LSU-Alabama II isn't necessarily winner take all.

MILWAUKEE -- The heavy-hitting Milwaukee Brewers offence is going to be missing a big bat when the season begins.
First baseman Corey Hart is going to miss the next three to four months with an injured right knee that requires surgery, the team announced on Friday. Hart's knee started to swell up during off-season workouts, and an MRI revealed a torn meniscus and other damage to the joint that will be surgically repaired by Dr. William Raasch on Tuesday.
It's difficult timing for the two-time All-Star, who is entering the final year of his contract. Hart had one of his best seasons last year, hitting .270 with 30 homers and 83 RBIs to help the Brewers lead the National League in home runs and runs scored. He was one of five players in the lineup to hit at least 19 homers, including Ryan Braun (41), Aramis Ramirez (27), Rickie Weeks (21) and Carlos Gomez (19).
Almost as important, he helped fill a void at first base when opening day starter Mat Gamel went down with a torn ACL in his right knee in May. Hart moved from right field to first base and performed well enough defensively there to convince the Brewers to keep him in that spot heading into 2013.
Hart also had surgery on his right knee last spring to repair some damaged cartilage. He returned sooner than expected from that injury to be in the lineup on opening day and that resiliency will be tested again this year.
Hart won't be able to put any weight on his right leg for six weeks after the surgery, meaning spring training will be well under way before Hart can even begin getting on the field to do any running or working out. If he takes the full estimated recovery time of about four months, Hart may not be playing in games until late May.
Hart's injury puts Gamel back into the mix as the starting first baseman. The 27-year-old was initially being slated to be bench player for the Brewers this season while working his way back from that knee injury. He hit .246 with one homer in 21 games last season before going down on May 1. He missed the final five months of the season but is expected to be back at 100 per cent when the Brewers report for spring training in February.
A fourth-round draft pick in 2005, Gamel has played in just 106 games since making his major league debut in 2008.

TOLEDO, OH (WTOL) - For many in Toledo, the MLK Holiday is a day of service, to help keep the legacy of the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. alive through service to others.
A food drive was held at the University of Toledo during the annual Unity Celebration, to benefit the Toledo MLK Kitchen for the Poor.
"To help others makes you feel good, that you did something for your community and this is the best way to do it today." says volunteer Lakesha Stewart-King.
"Because the economy these days many people can't give financially, but there's always ways through service, through volunteering." says volunteer Marguerite Benson-West.
The donated food items will be used for take-home food baskets for Toledoans in need.
"I'm inspired to go on and work harder myself." says Harvey Savage, the kitchen's executive director.
The kitchen also received help today to serve lunch, including 12-year-old Andre Arthur who pitched in to help:
"It's been good because I got to help people in need."

Natural Factors - Dr. Murray's Ultimate Probiotic Children's Formula - 2 oz.
The formula consists of a unique seven-strain bacteria blend that reflects an infant's natural intestinal flora composition. Each was selected after a literature review of published clinical studies for probiotic species used in infants.
Key Features and Benefits:
Natural Factors priority is enhancing people's health.
Factor Farms:A quality herbal product starts with the highest quality fresh organic plant material. The efficacy of herbal products has always been affected by growing conditions, harvesting, processing and storage. At Factor Farms in beautiful Kelowna, British Columbia, Canada our quality can be guaranteed as we control the entire process from seedling to finished product.
To grow herbs organically no chemical fertilizers, herbicides, fungicides or pesticides are allowed. We use only natural substances that have been approved by the organic industry. You can be assured that the fresh herb extracts contain no traces of unwanted chemical. Even the seed and plant sources are organic.
To be organically certified, certification inspectors work closely with growers to ensure that the organic standards are adhered to. We must keep detailed records of what we use on our farm. Even after harvest, processing is regulated so that no harmful chemicals are used to manufacture the fresh herb extracts. Local cultivation of medicinal herbs at Factors Farms ensures that the herbs are picked, processed, and extracted at just the right time when the active ingredients are at their peak.
Natural Factor knows that the natural habitats of many herbs are shrinking and that over-harvesting from the wild can endanger native medicinal plant populations. So organic cultivation of herbs is preferred over "wild crafting".

COOKEVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Tech softball team finally returns to the dirt Wednesday afternoon in preparation for its home and Ohio Valley Conference opener following four cancellations last week. The Golden Eagles travel to Nashville to play in a doubleheader at Lipscomb. The first pitch will be at tossed at 4 p.m.
The Golden Eagles downed Thomas University (Ga.), 6-0, Wednesday as sophomores Taylor Ketchum and Erica Tuck gave up a combined five hits in the Golden Eagles' third shutout of the season. Angi Sakamoto blasted a two-run homer in the bottom of the sixth to score Tech's final runs, while six different Golden Eagles crossed home plate.
Taylor, Tech's top offensive freshman, is second on the team with a .380 batting average, and a second-best 10 RBI. The Golden Eagles have been seeing quality time from fellow freshman Cortney Fry and newcomer Chelsea Burgess. Fry has a perfect fielding percentage while Burgess has been vital at the plate with a team-high four extra-base hits.
Taylor Ketchum (8-3) continues to give strong performances in the circle, with a 2.59 era. Behind Ketchum, senior Claudia Harke (2-3) has pitched 26.2 innings for the purple and gold, while Hannah Weaver (1-1) notched her first career win as a Golden Eagle over Maine in her first complete game.
All-Time Series
Tech vs.
Lipscomb: 11-8, Despite the short distance seperating the Lady Bisons and the Golden Eagles, the two teams haven't paired off since 2010. Tech dropped both ends of a doubleheader in Cookeville, 5-0 and 1-2.

When Ty Wigginton left the Mets in July of 2004, a lot of Mets fans (including a certain blogger) were very disappointed. Not that we weren't excited about the idea of highly-regarded David Wright being promoted to become the everyday third-basemen; there was just something so likeable about 200-pound rube from Southern California. He played hard, he seemed to care about the game, and he had the face of a baby. He has since moved on to the prestigious Devil Rays, where he has split time between third and second base. But that's not why this post is interesting.
It seems that late in December Mr. Ty Wigginton delivered his own son in the closet of his bedroom! Apparently his wife started to go into labor two weeks early and they decided to get ready to go to the hospital. But while she was getting a bag ready she realized that the baby was coming and she couldn't wait, so Ty called 9-1-1 and within minutes, their son was born. The funniest part of the story is that once the baby was out, Ty handed his wife the phone while he tied the umbilical cord with a shoelace!
Undoubtedly, Ty did a good thing to help his wife and deliver their child, but someone needs to talk to him and his wife because they now have two sons named Chase and Cannon!
Congrats Ty!

Man Takes Donkey on Dublin Bus | Her.ie
A man called Paul Trainer posted this picture on his Twitter account this morning showing a man trying to get his donkey onto the 150 bus.
And it seems as if he might have succeeded as the snap appears to show the ramp lowered down for the donkey to walk up.
As Paul himself says in the caption, "Dublin is deliciously odd sometimes."

The fifth season of The Voice officially got underway Monday with Raleigh's Kat Robichaud earning a spot on CeeLo Green's team.
Clad in black and white striped pants, and high-heel, platform shoes, Kat impressed the coaches as she wailed, kicked and screamed her way through The Kiki Dee Band's "I've Got the Music in Me."
"You remind me of all of the greats," CeeLo said after the performance, which was the first of the fifth season of The Voice. "But so original, so new, so fresh, so raw. You more than entertained me -- you engulfed me, you set me on fire."
After naming CeeLo her coach, Kat said, "I am so stoked. I love his music, I love his style, I love his funkiness."
'The Voice' Facebook page
If anything, Kat's decision to make her national debut with "I've Got the Music in Me" was an appropriate one as getting to that stage was a culmination of seven years in the music industry. Prior to her audition for the show, Kat spent a number of years performing in a highly successful cover band, and ultimately penning her own songs for her rock band The Design.
"Every week for seven years," the N.C. State alum said. "We played festivals and did a lot of cover music, but we barely made any money. I mean, I loved it -- I met my husband on the road."
But being on the road nearly non-stop meant she didn't have much time to spend with her husband, which brought her to the difficult decision to end the band with which she fought so long and so hard to succeed.
"That's what she's always wanted to do -- play music," said Guillaume Robichaud, Kat's husband. "I'm very proud that she actually made it to be here on The Voice."
While she's taken the last half a year to spend more time with her family, the opportunity to perform on The Voice meant an opportunity to revitalize her music career, as well as honor her father who passed away earlier this year.
"He loved the show, and I just want to make him proud," Kat said. "Before I went out, when we're pacing and waiting to go on, I just looked up at my dad and I'm like, 'You're helping me with this right?'
"I feel like maybe he helped turn those chairs around."
Adam Levine was the only one of the four coaches who didn't turn his chair. But it was easy to see that it was a decision he regretted.
"For sure not what I was expecting, especially those sweet pants," Adam said of Kat, who he referred to as "Raspy McRasperson." "You have a great voice, and I can't wait to see these guys battle over you because it's going to be fun to see the bloodshed."
Being that the blind auditions round means the coaches base their decisions solely on the performers' vocal talents, Kat was quick to turn chairs with a whiskey-soaked rasp that has long-defined her musical endeavors in the Triangle.
One more thing that Triangle audiences know all too well is that Kat has the stage presence of a long-seasoned performer. And the coaches soon recognized that added advantage to having her on their team.
"How did you do that kick with those big, platform shoes?" Christina Aguilera asked.
Her flair for theatrics makes sense considering her influences: Queen, David Bowie and Rocky Horror.
"My father raised me on Broadway musicals," Kat explained. "Annie, Oliver, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers, and then as I got older I found my way to Rocky Horror and rock operas like Hedwig and the Angry Inch."
She added, "I got really into the whole glam rock scene with David Bowie, Queen, Marilyn Manson -- so I just love that. And then my dad loves Janis Joplin, so I have a lot of influences with the soulful singing but also the theatrics and just the balls-out rock and rock."
Kat now moves on the battle rounds where she must go head-to-head with another member of CeeLo's team.

The Word: 'Five Easy Pieces' star Karen Black dies
Karen Black, star of such films as "Five Easy Pieces" and "Nashville," passed away yesterday of complications from cancer. She was 74 years old.
Black's vulnerable, complex performances garnered critical acclaim throughout her career. She won a Golden Globe and was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for "Five Easy Pieces" and was nominated for a Golden Globe for "The Great Gatsby." She was also nominated for a Grammy for "Nashville," for which she wrote and performed music.
Black's husband Steve Eckelberry announced the sad news via Facebook yesterday. Earlier this year he and Black attempted to crowdfund a trip to Europe so the actress could receive an experimental treatment.
On Wednesday, Eckelberry wrote on Karen's blog that the family was considering making a documentary about Karen's illness. "As a filmmaker I never remain idle, and have been filming this whole process from the beginning almost three years ago — it has been therapy for both Karen and myself, because after all, if cameras are rolling, it can't be really serious, it's just a movie, right?" he wrote.

One of the nation's most famous wrongful conviction cases is getting another look from Cook County State's Attorney Anita Alvarez.
Anthony Porter's 17 years on death row led to a ban on the death penalty in Illinois and a guilty plea from another man, but was justice done?
It's been 14 years since Porter was set free. He came within 50 hours of being executed for a double murder.
The pictures said it all. Anthony Porter and Professor David Protess celebrated Porter's release from prison. He'd been cleared of a 1982 double murder, thanks to the work of Protess, his Northwestern students, and Private Investigator Paul Ciolino. Their clinching piece of evidence? A video confession from Alstory Simon, a Milwaukee man who admitted to the shootings. It was Ciolino who obtained the video confession.
"Listen. I've taken literally hundreds of confessions. That was one of the easiest I've ever done. There wasn't any pressure. Watch the videotape confession. It is like we're having coffee and he's restating something that happened many years ago," Ciolino says.
Simon later pleaded guilty and was given a 37 year sentence. He's scheduled for parole in four years, but his attorney, Terry Ekl, recently sent a letter to State's Attorney Anita Alvarez, asking her to review the case, saying "Alstory's confession was illegally coerced by fabricated evidence, threats of the death penalty, and promises of riches." Ekl declined to discuss his claims, but Ciolino insists Simon is the real killer.
"Alstory Simon is a career criminal/killer," Ciolino adds. "He knows the game inside out. He knew it that day. He was trying to make the best of a bad situation."
Chicago police officer Marty Preib has been working for five years on a book about the Anthony Porter saga. He's concluded that prosecutors had it right the first time, when they put Porter on death row.
"There's no doubt they had the case right the first time. Anthony Porter is without question guilty of these two murders, and Alstory Simon is wrongfully convicted," Preib told FOX 32 in an interview. "Its' right there in the public record."
A spokesperson for State's Attorney Alvarez told FOX 32 that she's re-examining the Simon case because his attorneys raise a series of questions about the integrity of his conviction.
We were unable to reach David Protess, but he reportedly is willing to cooperate with any further investigation.

Rated 4.1 out of 5 by 276 reviewers.
Rated 3 out of 5 by beauxeault Good experience - average Sheraton My experience here was in line with what you generally expect at a typical Sheraton. Nice facilities that are not astounding but offer a good degree of comfort. As a SPG platinum member, I was upgraded to a room referred to as a "suite," but which was actually a junior suite (i.e. the living area was not in a separate room from the sleeping area), but was grateful for the upgrade. Exceptional areas include a large number of TV channels, including TWO different HBO channels AND two different Showtime channels. The fitness facilities are an adjacent fitness club so are much more extensive than typical. One disappointment was the relatively meager breakfast in the club lounge (especially the lack of any hot item). Offerings (including two hot items) in the lounge in the evening were quite nice. November 10, 2011
Rated 5 out of 5 by Al9084 Friendliness I do not believe I have ever stayed at a hotel where the staff was more friendly than at the Sheraton Imperial, Durham. Virtually every employee spoke, not only to me, but to others attending our conference as well. But as I was leaving the hotel after checking out, I noticed that they also displayed a friendliness to their fellow employees. This positive and courteous attitude was evident throughout and means much to me in how I regard the hotel. Fantastic job! February 8, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by DRH427 Customer Satisfaction is not their prerogative This is the third time we have stayed at this hotel. In the past, we've encountered issues with their elevators... I got stuck in the elevator for 40 minutes. That was certainly not a big deal and it wasn't enough to keep us from coming back. This last visit, we booked our room for two nights' stay. The first night was great. The room was comfortable, clean and ready for our arrival. The second night, however, there was a major leak in our bathroom during the middle of the night. The bathroom above us flooded their toilet which resulted in standing toilet water on our bathroom floor. We were transferred to another room around 3:30 AM. The bellman was very courteous despite the fact that we had to pack up all of our belongings in mid sleep. When my husband tried to discuss this matter with the front desk that morning, they wouldn't give him the time of day. They wouldn't sympathize with the fact that we had little to no sleep due to the incident. They said he would have to talk to the General Manager. All the general manager could offer us were points for our inconvenience. Frankly, the last thing we want are points because we doubt we'll be staying with this hotel chain again. We definitely did not feel treated like valued customers. It is a great location and facility with lots of potential but they certainly need to work on their hospitality and customer satisfaction. July 21, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by solo702 Good sleeping The beds are very comfortable and make for good sleeping. August 19, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Martino Overall a good experience The convenience to the airport is an asset - the staff was friendly - I was there for a photographers's convention and everything seemed to run smoothly. Breakfast omelettes were great - lunch was OK August 18, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Brad1000000 Very nice, but older hotel This Sheraton is located just off the interstate, about five minutes from the airport, in a very nice office park setting next door to a fitness club. It's also attached to a large meeting/convention center, but there was no activity when I was there. I was warmly greeted by every staff member I met, whether the valet as I walked into the lobby, the front desk at check in, or the Starbucks in the lobby. Service in the club lounge is fantastic, Lynn and Veronica make sure you are comfortable and happy--it's nice to have a little empathy at the end of a long day. Two adult beverages and lots of food are provided in the evening, with a nice continental breakfast with one or two warm entrees like oatmeal in the AM. They also have one of those automatic espresso machines, which is available morning or night. The room finishes are older, but the bathrooms have been updated and the beds/bedding are new. The hotel is very clean and well maintained--even the fire stairs (I walked up to the club lounge from my floor) are polished and spotless. March 7, 2013
Rated 5 out of 5 by mrkrmark EXCEEDED EXPECTATIONS The check-in was smooth and quick. Room was quiet and comfortable - linens were crisp and clean. All in all, a very good experience August 16, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by Kat34 This hotel is poor compared to other SPG hotels It took forever to check in The front staff wasn't very friendly This hotel doesn't value your SPG status which isn't stated on it's website August 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by fgoodwin Welcoming I have stayed here often, this visit was new staff I had never seen at the front desk. They treated me like I was a king. I was also able to see some of the staff that I did know and they always welcome me like family. August 15, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by SPT64 Exceedingly disappointed with service Very disappointing service to date - and compelled to alert other potential clients regarding our perplexing experience at Sheraton Imperial. I had called to change our reservation from 3 to 2 rooms on April 1, 2012. To my surprise, once at the hotel, I was informed that I was to be charged for 4 rooms instead of 2 for May 11, 2012! When I showed the staff my email confirmation with 2 rooms that evening, I was notified that I had made the error and offered a $100 credit. I asked for Sheraton's emails to me tracking the changes and was told the local hotel did not have all the email communications re: my reservation and the changes and that I had to contact corporate headquarters for that type of information.. Upon returning home, I called corporate headquarters and their email records confirmed my concern that an internal error had occured. Subsequently I emailed the lady in the business dept at Sheraton Imperial on May 15 expressing my concern and requesting additional information. The response I got was not very helpful so I sent a follow up email on May 17 requesting the reservations and billing managers's contact information as it became evident to me that their assistance would be needed at this stage. I have not heard back from Sheraton Imperial yet. Given the disappointing service, my husband and I are seeking additional information from our credit card company regarding the erroneous charges. May 29, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by CDL2014 My Go-To Hotel in Durham I will always stay at this hotel when I visit Durham, North Carolina (which is often). Whenever I have to drive or fly in, this hotel is very easy accessible and clean! August 11, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by KA110 Great Features Very elegant, bedding was super nice and employees are very accomodating. August 11, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by tournament1 Very clean This hotel was very clean! Great amenities and friendly staff. August 11, 2014
Rated 1 out of 5 by martimal Hotel is slipping in service Stayed there over 50 times and service is slipping. Had to call to get my e-bill. Loud hallways by staff at night; newspapers dropped loudly, people talking and doors slamming at 5 am. Wifi works only 50% of the time. Always told to call their 3rd party support rather than fixing it. Wine list changed but still on menus for room service. June 10, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by JJ11 Weekends Suck I selected this hotel because I was told I would be able to use fitness facilities at a local gym, but I was not informed that the gym closed at 7:00 PM. I was more disappointed to learn that the hotel has no facilities on site. The Platinum lounge was closed so I was given a breakfast coupon. However, as I checked out at 6:30 AM, the front desk informed me that the restaurant would not open till 7:00 AM. I needed to be at the airport at by 7:45 AM, which meant that I needed to be on the 7:00 AM shuttle. January 14, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by MDGirl Great Room in a Great Location Can you say, Awww? That is how my daughter and I felt once our heads hit the Heavenly Beds. It was so hard getting out of bed on the next day! The hotel staff was warm and friendly at 12:30a.m. My only complaint is that they charge $10.00 for a refrigerator. As a Gold Member, I think this should be a perk. Most lower-end hotels offer a refrigerator in hotel rooms. Other than that, I liked the hotel from the moment we stepped into the lobby. Our room was large with two large beds and night stands, a lounge chair with a foot rest, desk with FREE internet service, large picture window, dresser with a television, closet with a Terry Cloth Robe. The bathroom had all of the amenities that you would expect from Sheraton. We did not use much of the hotel because it was an overnight stay. I plan to visit again. April 9, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Maryann6 Wonderful place for Conference All the folks at the lobby desk were helpful and gracious!! Gregory, Dean, and Ernest were exceptional help to many of us. These young men were superb with helping all that needed to be done during our conference. Special thanks to all the servers at our meals--they were excellent. I'd recommend this hotel for any function. May 5, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by racrefsyst nice stay this room was really great. comfy bed and sll the amenities. August 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by whitefob1 Great Hotel to stay at... I had to fly into Raleigh on business and my company booked me with another chain. I'm a Platinum Preferred Guest, so I'm always looking at staying within the Starwood Family. I logged into SPG and booked the Hotel not knowing what I was going into. I arrived and was met with an awesome staff answering all of my questions. Nice quiet room. Stayed two nights, would use this Hotel in the future whenever I come back to Raleigh. February 13, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Stubaby The room was excellent The room was excellent and had a lot of room to move around, although it surprised me that there was not a microwave in a junior king suite. Second, the staff was overwhelmingly wonderful in every aspect. My only complaint would be that the bed on both the king bed and the sleeper sofa where terrible, however I did not complain because the staff made this a good stay as well as the location and amenities were very good. May 30, 2012
Rated 4 out of 5 by ggmjr 2 small "dings" that impact the property 1. I have been at this property for 10 nights over 4 stays so far this year. Twice I actually booked a club level room hoping to get a suite upgrade. To date, I have never gotten a suite upgrade. 2. It is VERY frustrating to be locked out of the club after hours. I work 5p-2a. I cannot get there in the evening, I will not got up for breakfast. You cannot get in after hours, even for a bottle of water. March 23, 2013
Rated 2 out of 5 by CBSJ not good sleep While the hotel looks beautiful - nice wood doors to rooms, it was an awful night of sleep. The doors must be hollow as you could hear everything out in the hallway almost to the point that I went to ensure that my door was actually shut. I was up at 11:30, 12:45, 1:30, 2:15 and 5 am with people talking in the halls, doors banging.... Also a bit disappointed that my bill was not emailed to me, not left under my door nor available online. I need to an exp report and have to "request" a bill. I travel over 125 nights per year and typically stay at a competitor of yours as a platinum member. Stayed here due to conference in the hotel and was disappointed. May 23, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by 1Lady Very pleased I enjoyed my stay here, very pleased with the shuttle service that we used the entire weekend it was so convenient and the drivers were professional and very courteous. We were disappointed that there was not continental breakfast but we did eat in the restaurant within the hotel and the food was delicious and the service was great. The overall staff has great customer service. April 12, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by jeanirwin Snowed in I was staying at the Sheraton Imperial for the EPA Air Conference, the week of the "Catastrophic" "Storm of the Century." that closed down Atlanta, Raleigh and other southern cities. The hotel was booked with people who couldn't get out but the personnel were gracious and helpful. Thanks for being such good hosts in a difficult situation. February 17, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by michale always pleasant stay My wife and I stay here some 6 to 8 times a year when we attend seminars at Duke. The hotel is always a good experience and many restruants in the area, although the breakfast is among the best at the Imperial and they have the 'worlds best omlet maker' July 28, 2014
Rated 2 out of 5 by MR14 Disappointing I checked in with my family late on July 4th. When we first settled in, the room seemed fine enough, but the air conditioner was extremely loud and kept me awake most of the night. When the air condition was off (which was only occasionally because it was so old it couldn't actually cool the room), there was a steady drip coming from the bathroom. A pipe was leaking above the shower and when you lifted the panel above the shower a torrent of water came down. It was not a dripping faucet, but a full-on leaking/burst pipe. When I mentioned this to the staff the next morning I was cheerily told "thanks for telling us ... we'll pass it along". I was expecting some sort of restitution for an otherwise miserable stay in a luxury property. July 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Matthew2811 Nice weekend in Durham This hotel is an older hotel that has had a total makeover! It is very accessible from I40 and has good parking. Once inside we were greeted and directed to the front desk where we were taken care of. We had a delicious lunch in the lobby restaurant and went to register for our conference. The hotel is a very nice facility and I hope to return there again. November 18, 2013
Rated 4 out of 5 by bobrob Additional charge In general our stay was pleasant. Usually, I ask for a room with a refrigerator if available. At everyother hotel we've stayed at this was complimentary on a first come first serve basis. At check out - we were charged $10/day. No one mentioned this fact to us and frankly I did not think to ask. The hotel staff should have mentioned this. December 5, 2012
Rated 5 out of 5 by Poohbear Convention Stay I stayed with Sheraton Imperial in Durham Wednesday and Thursday night 4/18 and 4/19. The hotel was very easy to get to, check-in was quick and efficient, and the room met my expectations. Service was good and staff was pleasant. I would recommend this hotel to friends. April 23, 2012

Frank Darabount Talks About Godzilla Rewrite
- Written by Zechs on Wednesday, January 23 2013 and posted in News with Benefits
The former The Walking Dead show-runner talks on what he's doing to the script for the Legendary Pictures Godzilla movie.
Source: How Frank Darabont will return Godzilla to his rightful place as a terrifying force of nature
During a round table interview with Io9, Frank Darabount talked about what he's trying to do in rewriting the Godzilla script when asked about it:
"What I found very interesting about Godzilla is that he started off definitely as a metaphor for Hiroshima and Nagasaki. And some of the atom bomb testing we were doing in the South Pacific in the subsequent years. The giant terrifying force of nature that comes and stomps the shit out of your city, that was Godzilla. Filtered through the very fanciful imaginations of the Japanese perception. And then he became Clifford the Big Red Dog in the subsequent films. He became the mascot of Japan, he became the protector of Japan. Another big ugly monster would show up and he would fight that monster to protect Japan. Which I never really quite understood, the shift.
What we're trying to do with the new movie is not have it camp, not have it be campy. We're kind of taking a cool new look at it. But with a lot of tradition in the first film. We want this to be a terrifying force of nature. And what was really cool, for me, is there was a very compelling human drama that I got to weave into it. It's not that cliched, thinly disguised romance or bromance, or whatever. It's different, it's a different set of circumstances than you're used to seeing. And that's tremendously exciting as a writer when you're asked to do something else."
It's an interesting aspect he and the people behind this project are going with Godzilla. The last time a Godzilla movie was trying to be this was the 2001 entry: Godzilla, Mothra, and King Ghidorah: All-Out Monster Attack! The movie was a very refreshing take on the three kaiju and is heralded as one of the best of the modern Godzilla films.

Hotel/Restaurant Management
Hotel and restaurant managers make sure that guests on vacation or business travel, or diners in a restaurant establishment, have a pleasant experience, while also ensuring that an establishment is run efficiently and profitably. Because hotels are open around the clock, evening and weekend work is common. Most hotel managers and restaurant managers work full time and are often on call. Positions in these two hospitality fields can take hotel and restaurant management professionals to work in popular tourist destinations, or graduating professionals of the program may find work at hotels and restaurants near their own home.
According to the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov), employment of hotel managers is expected to grow 8 percent by 2020, while restaurant management positions do not show a projected increase. Those with a college degree in hotel or hospitality management are expected to have the best job opportunities. Applicants can expect strong competition for most jobs.
Casino Operations
Casino Operations professionals serve customers in gambling establishments, such as casinos or racetracks. Some workers tend slot machines or deal cards. Others take bets or pay out winnings. Still others supervise gaming workers and operations. Most casinos are open 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Employees work nights, weekends, and holidays.
According to the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov), employment in gaming services occupations is projected to grow 13 percent by 2020, about as fast as the average for all occupations. Growth will be fastest for gaming dealers as more states legalize table games such as blackjack and roulette.
Culinary Arts
Culinary Arts graduates are trained for careers including chef, line chef, banquet chef, executive chef, baker, pastry chef and caterer. They often work early mornings, late evenings, weekends, and holidays. Potential work settings include multi-unit chain restaurants, owner operated restaurants, four-star hotels, private country clubs, corporate food service and catering.
According to the United States Department of Labor's Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov), employment of culinary professionals is projected to experience little or no change by 2020. Although overall job opportunities are expected to be good, competition is expected to be high for jobs at upscale restaurants, hotels, and casinos, where the pay tends to be greater.

Charlotte County Sheriff's detectives arrested a 43-year-old woman on Monday after she attempted to sell a woman's iPhone back to her after finding it in a Walmart bathroom.
The victim contacted CCSO around 11:00 p.m. Sunday night and said she had left her iPhone in the Murdock Walmart restoom.
When she returned, the phone was missing. The woman was able to use the phone's GPS to track its location and followed it to a home in the 2500 block of Nanette Avenue in North Port.
The victim said she was contacted by a woman who claimed to have the phone.
The woman, identified as Rene Marie Glynn, told the victim that she wanted $100 to return to phone or she would sell the phone on eBay.
The victim's boyfriend spoke to Glynn and he arranged to meet her at the Murdock Walmart.
The boyfriend made contact with Glynn at the Walmart and told her he would not give her any money. Glynn left the store and got into a pickup truck in the parking lot.
The boyfriend followed and offered Glynn $20, which she accepted in exchange for the phone.
CCSO detectives then asked Glynn to get out of the pickup. She was arrested and charged with grand theft and dealing in stolen property.
She remains in the Charlotte County Jail on a $7,500 bond.
