Turkey vows action against Syria for downing jet

ANKARA, Turkey (AP) ? Turkey will take retaliatory steps against Syria for the downing of a Turkish military jet, President Abdullah Gul said Saturday, even as he suggested that the aircraft may have unintentionally violated Syrian airspace.

It was not clear if Gul was suggesting military retaliation, increased sanctions against Syria or other possible steps, including demands for an apology, and his aide would not comment on his words. But Faruk Celik, Turkey's Labor and Social Security Minister, said Turkey would retaliate "either in the diplomatic field or give other types of response."

"Even if we assume that there was a violation of Syria's airspace ? though the situation is still not clear ? the Syrian response cannot be to bring down the plane," Celik told reporters.

"The incident is unacceptable," he said. "Turkey cannot endure it in silence."

Syria said Friday its forces had shot down a Turkish military plane that entered its air space. The plane, an unarmed F-4, went down in the Mediterranean Sea about 8 miles (13 kilometers) from the Syrian town of Latakia, Turkey said.

The incident further escalated tensions between Syria and NATO-member Turkey. The two neighbors used to be allies before the Syrian revolt began in March 2011, but Turkey has become one of the strongest critics of the Syrian regime's brutal response to the country's uprising and is playing host to civilian and military Syrian opposition groups.

Foreign Minister Ahmet Davuoglu chaired a meeting Saturday with military officials during which they discussed possible steps and a search and rescue mission for the two missing pilots, the Foreign Ministry said.

Deputy Prime Minister Bulent Arinc insisted the plane was not a fighter jet but a reconnaissance plane and said Turkey was awaiting an explanation from Syria.

The president said Turkey was still trying to establish the exact circumstances of the incident, but said it was "routine" for jets flying in high-speeds to violate other countries' air spaces for short periods of time.

"These incidents are routine," Gul said. "They are incidents that are not ill-intentioned and happen because of the speeds (of the jets)."

"Was that the case, or did (the incident) occur in our own air space, these facts will emerge," he said. "No one should have any doubt that whatever (action) is necessary will be taken."

Gul did not elaborate. But Turkey said after an April border shooting incident ? in which two people inside a Turkish refugee camp died? that it would call on its NATO allies to intervene should it feel its security was being threatened.

Syrian coast guards joined Turkish coast guards in their search for the jet's two missing crew members for a second day Saturday, Arinc, the deputy prime minister said. Gul said earlier that some pieces of the wreckage had been found.

Late Friday, Syria's state-run news agency, SANA, said the military had spotted an "unidentified aerial target" flying at low altitude and high speed.

"The Syrian anti-air defenses counteracted with anti-aircraft artillery, hitting it directly," SANA said. "The target turned out to be a Turkish military plane that entered Syrian airspace and was dealt with according to laws observed in such cases."

Syria claimed the jet violated its air space over territorial waters, penetrating about 1 kilometer (0.62 mile). It said Syrian forces only realized that it was a Turkish jet after firing.

On Saturday, top-selling the banner headline of Turkish newspaper Hurriyet accused Syria of "Playing with Fire," while Vatan newspaper said Syria would "pay the price" for the attack.

Arinc and other government ministers however, urged restraint.

"We must remain calm and collected," he said. "We must not give premium to any provocative speeches and acts."

The leader of Turkey's main opposition party, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, said the downing of the plane was unacceptable but also urged calm.

"All diplomatic channels must be kept open. We are expecting a coolheaded assessment of the incident," he added.

Bullying of teachers more damaging in online era

The bullying that bus monitor Karen Klein endured on a ride home from an upstate New York school was painful and egregious, but also shows how student harassment of teachers and administrators has become more spiteful and damaging in the online era.

Much attention has been paid to students who bully students in class, after school and on the Internet. Less has been given to equally disturbing behavior by students who harass instructors, principals and other adults.

It's something that's long existed; think ganging up on the substitute teacher. But it has become increasingly cruel and even dangerous as students get access to advanced technology at earlier ages.

In Maryland, students posed as their vice principal's twin 9-year-old daughters on pedophile websites, saying they had been having sex with their father and were looking for a new partner. Elsewhere, students have logged on to neo-Nazi and white supremacist sites claiming to be a Jewish or minority teacher and inciting the groups' anger. Others have stolen photographs from teachers' cellphones and posted them online.

Video: Donations for bus monitor near $600,000

"The ways they provoke teachers are limited only by their imaginations," said lawyer Parry Aftab, who described the above cases as just a few of the hundreds she's handled.

Compared with those, what happened to Klein in Greece, N.Y., a suburb of Rochester, was mild, Aftab said.

Students poked the bus monitor with a textbook, called her a barrage of obscenities and threatened to urinate on her front door, among other callous insults. One student taunted: "You don't have a family because they all killed themselves because they don't want to be near you."

Klein's oldest son killed himself 10 years ago.

Eventually, she appears to break down in tears. A cellphone video of the incident posted on YouTube went viral.

There is no data collected on how often students bully and harass teachers and other school authorities.

The most recent school safety report from the National Center for Education Statistics, the data branch of the U.S. Department of Education, found that 5 percent of public schools reported students verbally abused teachers on a daily or weekly basis. Also, 8 percent of secondary school teachers reported being threatened with injury by a student, as did 7 percent of elementary teachers.

"Is what we saw in this video occurring with many children every day with adults? No," said Ken Trump, president of the National School Safety and Security Services, a Cleveland-based consulting firm. "One incident is one too many, but we certainly have a problem where the authority of educators and school support personnel has been undermined."

Certainly, students harassing teachers isn't new.

John Ristow remembers an incident from his early days as a teacher's assistant in Alpena, Mich. A student in the class was upset that he was singled out by the lead teacher for disrupting other students who were trying to study. When Ristow passed him in the hall later that day, the middle school student lashed out.

"It was very nasty swear words that were extremely demeaning to my character," said Ristow, who now is head of communications for the Broward Teachers Union in Florida.

Ristow held out his hand and said, "Stop."

A security officer came by and asked if Ristow wanted her to take the boy to the principal's office. He said no, deciding to resolve the issue directly with the teacher and student instead. He brought both of them together, they discussed how inappropriate the behavior was and told the student he would face a suspension if it happened again.

"It never happened again," Ristow said.

That was in the late 1980s.

Two decades later, students are equipped with cellphones with video cameras and a plethora of apps that allow them easily to share information among each other and post online.

One of the new ways that students are harassing teachers has become known as "cyberbaiting." Students irritate a teacher to the point that the teacher breaks down; that reaction then is captured in photos or video to post online. A Norton Online Family Report published last year found that 21 percent of teachers had experienced or knew another teacher who had experienced "cyberbaiting."

Then there are cases of students who have created websites and blogs against teachers and administrators.

In South Florida, one student created a Facebook group page called, "Ms. Sarah Phelps is the worst teacher I've ever met!" The student encouraged others to "express your feelings of hatred."

The student, Katherine Evans, took the page down but was suspended for three days and removed from her Advanced Placement classes. She later was represented by the American Civil Liberties Union in a lawsuit against the principal of the Pembroke Pines Charter High School, arguing that her right to freedom of speech had been violated. She settled for $15,000 to cover her legal fees and her suspension was wiped from her record.

Aftab said such an outcome is not uncommon. Unless the incident occurs on school grounds, during school hours, at a school sponsored event or on school equipment, the district generally does not have jurisdiction to expel or suspend a student, although some courts around the country have ruled differently.

Courts "tend to side more with the students unless you can show dramatic problems," Aftab said.

Phelps, in her first public comments since the 2007 incident, said while kids make mistakes, it's the responsibility of adults to turn them into teachable moments.

"We need to redefine and expand our definitions of bullying, particularly techno-spread bullying devoid of personal accountability and disseminated under the guise of free speech," Phelps said in a written statement Friday.

District administrators in New York plan to pursue disciplinary actions against all four students who taunted Klein, though police say she does not want them to face criminal charges, partially because of the onslaught of public criticism and even threats they've endured since the video went online.

A fund started for Klein has raised more than $500,000.

School safety experts and administrators say they hope the incident will encourage parents to sit down and speak with their children about the damaging effects of all bullying, and that school officials will reinforce bullying prevention, not just among students, but also aimed at teachers and adults.

"The schools can have consequences," Trump said, pointing to counseling and disciplinary action. The bigger question, he said, is why a student would treat a bus monitor in a way they would not treat their own grandmother. "And that goes far beyond what a school can deal with."

Woman Buys Goodwill Jeans, Finds Diamond Ring in Pocket, Seeks Original Owner


Deb Thompson's Monday trip to a Coon Rapids, Minn., Goodwill store, netted her a $4 pair of jeans ... with a diamond ring inside worth over $6,000.

Ironically, she picked out that particular pair because her daughter liked the "bling" - fake diamonds - on some of the embroidery. Little did she know.

She discovered the ring in the pocket while trying them on at home.

"I took the ring out of my pocket and sat on the floor with my daughter and her fiancé. I put my arm out in the center, and I opened it in my palm and we all just went, 'Wow. Oh my God," Thompson recalled to ABC News.

Deb Thompson

All Thompson could think was, "Oh geez, somebody lost their ring. The husband or fiancé must be out there saying, 'You're not getting another one!'"

When she first found the ring, Thompson contacted her local ABC affiliate in an attempt to find the owner. She then had the thing appraised.

Not only was the diamond ring real, it was worth $6,500.

Now Thompson, of Ham Lake, Minn., is reaching out via Facebook and working with Goodwill to try to find the engagement ring's original owner.

Sadly/amusingly, seven people have come forward.

Thompson is leaving the background-checking up to Goodwill. She did, however, have a very specific way she'd like the scenario to end.

"This is how I see this whole story ending: Somebody comes forward, says they lost the ring, says they're insured and have the papers to prove it."

"That's how I'm hoping this ends. Only time will tell."

What About Daylight Saving Time?

Daylight Saving Time has been associated with advantages regarding energy usage and the enjoyment of longer sun hours. These advantages are mainly observed in higher latitudes however as day and night times are merely constant close to the equator. This article will take a brief look at the debate.

Daylight Saving Time or summer time, commonly abbreviated as DST, is the process of moving the clock one hour forward in spring and one hour backward in autumn. Usually this change in time happens during the night at 2pm, moving forward to 3pm, and 3pm, moving backward to 2pm. The process is coordinated all across country or time zone boundaries.

The concept has been first proposed by Benjamin Franklin in 1784 and was first implemented in 1916 in Germany and then most of the other European countries in order to optimize the total amount of sunlight hours during the day and save energy during World War I. Today various countries, especially in Europe and North America use Daylight Saving Time (although many countries have introduced and abandoned the concept).

The main argument for turning the clock forward is to use the sun hours during the summer most efficiently. Public life does not start earlier in the summer although there is sun early in the morning due to the longer days. This is mainly because most human activities are being bound to a fixed schedule, e.g. work starts at a certain time, school schedules are fixed etc. Now the logic is that if a human sleeps for a certain amount of hours (usually around or below 8 hours), you might as well sleep while there is no daylight. In the higher latitudes daylight can can be observed in the summer for around 16 hours at times (depending on the location). By moving the clock forward in the summer, the average schedule will be pushed to an earlier time and the average citizen will be able to enjoy most of the sunlight awake. Optimizing the productive hours for the population is usually associated with savings in energy usage (since most people sleep when it is dark and therefore use less energy). In addition the average population will enjoy more light in their free leisure time in the evening.

The opposition to switching the clock is mainly citing the disruption caused due to turning clocks forwards and backwards. While the act of coordinating a time change is already very expensive there are several impacts on human nature as well. Moving the clock forward and therefore forcing a different schedule on humans can be very intrusive in a person?s rhythm. Think about a slight jet lag that comes from the change in rhythm due to the time change. While energy usage is often cited as main argument in today?s changing industry landscape this might not impact the overall energy consumption enough to justify the time switch. Global time zones already add quite some complexity to a globalized world, switching the time only adds to this complexity.

An alternative is to introduce permanent Daylight Saving Time as being practiced in some countries such as Argentine or Georgia. The summer time is used throughout the year eliminating the need for a complex switch twice a year. In addition the full advantages of DST can be observed in the summer.

Silenced Mich. lawmaker to do 'Vagina Monologues'

(AP) ? The author of "The Vagina Monologues" says she's thrilled to be involved in a performance of her play by a Michigan lawmaker who says she was barred from speaking in the state House for using the word "vagina" during a debate.

Eve Ensler is overseeing Monday night's performance of her groundbreaking play on the Statehouse steps in Lansing by Democratic state Rep. Lisa Brown, actresses and other lawmakers.

Ensler says the actions taken by the Republicans who control the state House are comparable to "the Dark Ages."

Brown said during a debate last week on anti-abortion legislation that she was flattered Republicans were "all so concerned about my vagina."

House Republicans say they didn't object to the word "vagina." They say Brown compared the legislation to rape, which she denies.

Microsoft applies to patent gazetracking camera, wants to stare into your eyes

See that complication of a line-drawing above? Well that's Microsoft describing how it would like to patent a function for a dual 3D and 2D camera setup that's able to process precisely where your eyes fall on a screen. While Kinect could fulfill that hardware component, the application goes into more detail on how the "gaze tracker" would calculate both the direction you're looking in and track the region of the screen that you're focusing on. It aims to do this by closely following your eye -- more specifically the pupil and iris -- with some attention also paid to monitoring the orientation of your head. The Mountain View crew aren't too specific with the remit for the notion, but it could follow similar lines to an Apple patent application we've seen previously -- heck, it could even lead to some eyeball-based UI navigation. Let your mind wander over the possibilities and stare at the full application at the source below.

13th century volcano mystery may be solved

Indonesia implicated as location of biggest eruption in last seven millennia

Web edition : Thursday, June 14th, 2012

SELFOSS, Iceland ? One of the biggest mysteries in volcanology may finally have a solution. An eruption long thought to have gone off in the year 1258, spreading cooling sulfur particles around the globe, happened the year before in Indonesia, scientists report.

Until now, researchers have known a big volcano went off somewhere in the world around that time, but they didn?t know exactly where or when.

The new report still remains something of a mystery. Franck Lavigne, a geoscientist at Panth?on-Sorbonne University's Laboratory of Physical Geography in Meudon, France, showed data and close-up photographs of the remains of the perpetrator volcano on June 14 at an American Geophysical Union conference on volcanism and the atmosphere. But he declined to name the specific volcano, saying he had agreed with his international colleagues not to identify it until the work is published in a peer-reviewed journal.

?We have new and solid evidence for the biggest volcanic eruption in 7,000 years,? Lavigne said.

Consensus in the meeting hallways was that he showed pictures of Indonesia. Lavigne would say only that Indonesia has more than 130 active volcanoes.

Scientists know a big eruption must have happened in the mid-13th century because ice cores from Greenland and Antarctica dating to that time contain huge amounts of sulfur. Tree rings, historical records and other evidence also show that the planet cooled soon thereafter. Big volcanic eruptions can spew sulfur particles into the upper atmosphere, where they spread around the globe and reflect sunlight, temporarily chilling the planet.

Leading candidates for the 1258 eruption have included Mexico?s El Chich?n, which also erupted in 1982, and Quilotoa in the Ecuadorean Andes. But the chemical composition of rocks from those volcanoes, among other factors, don?t really match the 1258 sulfur from ice cores.

At the meeting, Lavigne showed geochemical analyses of rocks from his mystery volcano. They matched the chemistry of the polar sulfur almost perfectly. The rocks come from a caldera, the collapsed remains left behind after a large volcanic eruption drains an underground magma chamber.

Newly unearthed historical records and other evidence show that climate changes were already happening in the region by the winter of 1257-1258, Lavigne said. ?We think the eruption may have been in the late spring or summer of 1257,? he said. That?s nearly a year earlier than previously thought.

Computer simulations suggest the eruption sent pumice flying into the air more than 40 kilometers high, showering debris for tens of kilometers around. The eruption would have ranked a 7 on the volcanic explosivity scale that measures an eruption?s magnitude. That scale tops out at 8.

Still, volcanologists have spent decades looking for the source of the 1257/1258 eruption. It?s not yet clear whether Lavigne will be able to marshal enough evidence to convince everyone else.

Jerry Sandusky Trial: Victim #9 Testifies, Caps Off Shocking Week in Court


The Jerry Sandusky trial is in recess for a three-day weekend after the ninth alleged victim of the former Penn State coach took the stand Thursday.

Victim No. 9, a slightly built 18-year-old, looking nervous and ashamed, leaned into the witness stand mic yesterday to deliver graphic testimony.

He was a trailer-park kid from a poor, single-parent family, just the kind of project Jerry Sandusky's Second Mile charity was supposed to help.

Victim No. 9 told the shocked, packed Centre County Courtroom how when he was a young teen he'd stay in Sandusky's basement on weekends.

That's when the former Penn State defensive coordinator would routinely come down at night and force him to perform oral sex, he testified.

"What was I going to do?" the witness said, his vulnerable voice cracking. "Look at him, he's a big guy, bigger than me. Way bigger than me."

The boy said that he only kept returning to Sandusky's home because his mother, thinking he needed a male role model, insisted he do so.

Soon the sessions occasionally included sodomy, which couldn't stop either.

"I just went with it," he said. "There was no fighting against it. … Sometimes [I'd] scream. Sometimes tell him to get off of me. But other than that, he was there, you were in a basement, no one can hear you down there."

"Did you ever bleed?" Sandusky's attorney, Joe Amendola asked later.

"Yes," the witness said, in a chilling tone so matter-of-fact it was heartbreaking. "I just dealt with it. I have a different way of coping with things."

Court was then adjourned until Monday. The prosecution, while not officially resting its case, is expected to turn the floor over to the defense soon.

Just not before prosecutors presented this dose of graphic testimony, one more horrible tale to sit in the jurors' minds during a long weekend.

"Between now and then we have three days of temptation," Judge John Cleland warned, urging discretion. "It's better to say absolutely nothing."

It's possible to not speak. It's another thing to not think.

In four days the state has hammered the 12 jurors with an avalanche of accusers, stories, evidence and descriptions, all nauseating beyond belief.

The 68-year-old is facing 52 counts based on using his charity and his football stature to manipulate and molest 10 children over a 15-year period.

Jerry Sandusky is entitled to the presumption of innocence and should and will receive a vigorous defense … but if he is somehow not guilty of all accusations, this would have to be the most elaborate, carefully-orchestrated conspiracy of all time.

Shopcade Switches On Social Influence And Gaming Features

Screen Shot 2012-06-13 at 16.33.07Shopcade's platform lets people earn rewards for recommending products to Facebook friends. So far so simple, and not entirely original. What's more interesting is that it's moving fast to scale up in the US out of its European base in London and allowing users to get rewards as points redeemable as offers from merchants. This includes digital goods likes music from iTunes. With about 65 million products on the site and many major brands like Urban Outfitters and Adidas, Shopcade has plenty of inventory. But they are attempting to avoiding 'social spam' by only rewarding users per purchase not per click. Now the site is introducing what they call a sort of 'Klout for shopping' which works inside the site.

UCSB scientists synthesize first genetically evolved semiconductor material

(Santa Barbara, Calif.) In the not-too-distant future, scientists may be able to use DNA to grow their own specialized materials, thanks to the concept of directed evolution. UC Santa Barbara scientists have, for the first time, used genetic engineering and molecular evolution to develop the enzymatic synthesis of a semiconductor.

"In the realm of human technologies it would be a new method, but it's an ancient approach in nature," said Lukmaan Bawazer, first author of the paper, "Evolutionary selection of enzymatically synthesized semiconductors from biomimetic mineralization vesicles," published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. Bawazer, who was a Ph.D. student at the time, wrote the paper with co-authors at UCSB's Interdepartmental Graduate Program in Biomolecular Science and Engineering; Institute for Collaborative Biotechnologies; California NanoSystems Institute and Materials Research Laboratory; and Department of Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology. Daniel Morse, UCSB professor emeritus of biochemistry of molecular genetics, directed the research.

Using silicateins, proteins responsible for the formation of silica skeletons in marine sponges, the researchers were able to generate new mineral architectures by directing the evolution of these enzymes. Silicateins, which are genetically encoded, serve as templates for the silica skeletons and control their mineralization, thus participating in similar types of processes by which animal and human bones are formed. Silica, also known as silicon, is the primary material in most commercially manufactured semiconductors.

In this study, polystyrene microbeads coated with specific silicateins were put through a mineralization reaction by incubating the beads in a water-in-oil emulsion that contained chemical precursors for mineralization: metals of either silicon or titanium dissolved in the oil or water phase of the emulsion. As the silicateins reacted with the dissolved metals, they precipitated them, integrating the metals into the resulting structure and forming nanoparticles of silicon dioxide or titanium dioxide.

With the creation of a silicatein gene pool, through what Bawazer only somewhat euphemistically calls "molecular sex" the combination and recombination of various silicatein genetic materials the scientists were able to create a multitude of silicateins, and then select for the ones with desired properties.

"This genetic population was exposed to two environmental pressures that shaped the selected minerals: The silicateins needed to make (that is, mineralize) materials directly on the surface of the beads, and then the mineral structures needed to be amenable to physical disruption to expose the encoding genes," said Bawazer. The beads that exhibited mineralization were sorted from the ones that didn't, and then fractured to release the genetic information they contained, which could either be studied, or evolved further.

The process yielded forms of silicatein not available in nature, that behaved differently in the formation of mineral structures. For example, some silicateins self-assembled into sheets and made dispersed mineral nanoparticles, as opposed to more typical agglomerated particles formed by natural silicateins. In some cases, crystalline materials were also formed, demonstrating a crystal-forming ability that was acquired through directed evolution, said Bawazer.

Because silicateins are enzymes, said Bawazer, with relatively long amino acid chains that can fold into precise shapes, there is the potential for more functionality than would be possible using shorter biopolymers or more traditional synthetic approaches. In addition, the process could potentially work with a variety of metals, to evolve different types of materials. By changing the laboratory-controlled environments in which directed evolution occurs, it will be possible to evolve materials with specific capacities, like high performance in an evolved solar cell, for example.

"Here we've demonstrated the evolution of material structure; I'd like to take it a step further and evolve material performance in a functional device," said Bawazer.

Social Maps App CityMaps Arrives In Boston, Rolls Out Local Recommendations

citymaps-featuredCityMaps, the social mapping company fresh off its $2.5 million Series A, is rolling out a big update today which not only brings the service to a fourth city (Boston), but also introduces a recommendations feature it calls "Featured Maps." This option allows users to quickly see recommended places to eat, drink, shop and play as a new layer on the map. The update is live now in the iTunes App Store, and while I don't have CityMaps available in my hometown just yet (it's currently in New York, San Francisco and Austin, in addition to Boston), it's easy enough to switch to another city to see the map for that area.

PFT: What does Finley's 'freestyling' mean for Packers?

Chad OchocincoAP

At a time when it?s believed by many that no high-profile players want to play for the Dolphins, a high-profile player in whom no one else apparently is interested reportedly wants to reverse that trend.

Jason La Canfora of CBSSports.com reports that Chad Ochocinco wants to play for pro football team headquartered in his hometown of Miami.? Though the report would likely be accurate if the name of any NFL team were inserted in the title, it makes sense for Ochocinco to want to play for the Dolphins.

It actually could make sense for the Dolphins to want him.

As pointed out in our initial look at teams that could be linked to Ochocinco, the current status of the Dolphins? depth chart suggests that Ochocinco would be an upgrade.? The question is whether the Dolphins want to embrace the distractions that go with having Chad in the fold.

Pre-Hard Knocks, the answer would have been ?no?, possibly preceded by ?hell?.? But now that the Dolphins seem to be embracing attention, even if it comes with distractions, Ochocinco makes sense from a football standpoint and a business standpoint.

In a roundabout way, Ochocinco also could help reduce the distractions that HBO and NFL Films will bring to training camp.? Chad will be a magnet for the cameras and microphones, which will result in less attention being devoted to mining the rest of the roster for useful video and sound.

La Canfora suggests that Ochocinco could have a new team within a week.? But if anyone is pursuing him now, they?re doing so on a top-secret basis.

As to the obvious potential landing spots, La Canfora rattles off several that, per team sources, aren?t interested, including the Rams, Panthers, Cowboys, Ravens, Raiders, and Jaguars.? But the anonymous views expressed on an off-the-record basis by one or more team employees is often misleading, and never binding.? Like other veterans with baggage, flirting with a player like Ochocinco creates a distraction.? There?s no reason to acknowledge interest unless and until the decision has been made to sign him.

The biggest red flag for any truly interested team (apart from the cliff off of which his game fell in 2011) would come from a genuine lack of interest by the Jaguars.? Chad?s offensive coordinator in Cincinnati, Bob Bratkowski, now runs the offense in Jacksonville.? And the Jags would benefit from help at the position, even with Justin Blackmon and Laurent Robinson and Lee Evans in town.? And the Jags would benefit from the butts-in-seats buzz that Ochocinco brings.

So if the Jags don?t want him, maybe no one else should.? If, with rosters currently at a 90-man limit, something doesn?t happen soon, it may not happen at all.

'Catching Fire' Producer Denies Finnick Odair Casting Rumors

'It's funny to see how things can take on a life of their own,' producer Nina Jacobson says of speculation surrounding the role.

Despite what you've heard about who is in the running to play hottie tribute Finnick Odair in the "Hunger Games" sequel, "Catching Fire," the studio hasn't yet settled on a #1 choice. That means that even as rumors continue to swirl that the part could go to Garrett Hedlund or Armie Hammer, no major decisions have been made.

"That's the thing that's crazy," producer Nina Jacobson told the Los Angeles Times about all the fuss.

"People are like way ahead of where we are. We've not narrowed things down by any means. It's funny to see how things can take on a life of their own."

Before they denied the rumors, both Taylor Kitsch and "Twilight" star Robert Pattinson had been linked to the part. And while the fan response to all the chatter has been immense, Jacobson notes that in the end it will be about who auditions best, not just who the fans want in the role.

"It means something that people can see [an actor] in that light, so you know [the actor] will be accepted by a lot of people, on the one hand," she said. But she added, "On the other hand, you have to kind of ignore it. You have to just sort of act like you're sitting in a room and you want to just pick the person who gives the best audition and looks and feels most like the part."

When MTV News caught up with several of the franchise's stars at the MTV Movie Awards last weekend, they didn't necessarily have one person they wanted to see in the part, but they did note several qualities that an actor must have in order to portray Finnick.

Josh Hutcherson explained that he must be "physically strong. I think that's a big important thing. I think somebody who's kind of similar to Peeta in the sense that he knows sort of how to work the situation a little bit. I think the physicality would be really important for Finnick because he's such an imposing character, for sure."

Elizabeth Banks emphasized a few other traits. "You know, just charisma, just a lot of charisma," she said. "And he's a looker."

Barack Obama vs. Bill Clinton New Jersey Congress Fight Goes To Court On Election Eve

A bitter Democratic primary battle between two sitting members of Congress from New Jersey went to court Monday, nine hours before polls open.

Rep. Bill Pascrell (D-Paterson) went to Passaic County Superior Court, seeking to overturn the impoundment of 2,000 vote-by-mail ballots, sought by Rep. Steve Rothman (D-Englewood). Pascrell and Rothman, both eight-term congressmen, are battling to represent a new district created by New Jersey's redistricting commission, which cut one district from the Garden State. The close race to represent parts of Bergen, Hudson and Passaic Counties has become increasingly bitter proxy campaign between President Barack Obama and former President Bill Clinton. A hearing on Pascrell's petition began Monday night.

Rothman's campaign asked Passaic County Elections Superintendent Robert De Mers Jr. on Friday for the impoundment of the voter-by-mail applications, saying potential irregularities existed with the ballots in the county, including in the city of Paterson. Pascrell is a former Paterson mayor and has received strong support from the Passaic County Democratic Party. Rothman's attorney, Kimberly Procopio, wrote that 300 vote-by-mail applications had been rejected and four Rothman mailers to vote-by-mail applicants were returned by the U.S. Postal Service as undeliverable.

Procopio cited a Pascrell campaign office in Paterson advertising vote-by-mail, along with a post on Passaic County Sheriff Richard Berdnik's (D) Facebook page supporting Pascrell. The post, written by Paterson police officer Jeff Heffernan, said, "I've got 125 and counting so far, boss, I think Billy is going to do a lot better than people think."

Procopio argued that county Board of Elections plans to allow examination of names on vote-by-mail ballot envelopes starting at 3 p.m. Monday did not allow enough time to review all the ballots. The names are scheduled to be removed from the envelopes starting Tuesday morning. De Mars ordered impoundment of the ballots on Monday and said no names could be removed from envelopes.

Pascrell's attorneys have asked Superior Court to end the impoundment of ballots. They said Rothman has not sought impoundment of ballots in Bergen or Hudson Counties, where he is perceived to have an advantage. Rothman has represented both counties in Congress and is a former Bergen County surrogate. Pascrell's legal team -- headed by Angelo Genova, one of the top Democratic election attorneys in New Jersey -- argued that De Mars ordered a "drastic" action without evidence. They said he accepted Rothman's ballot estimates and did not force Rothman to produce promised affidavits from those who received vote-by-mail ballots without requesting one.

In letters to De Mars prior to his decision, Genova said an assistant state attorney general had said Passaic County election officials needed to provide proper time for the review of names before they were removed from envelopes. "As set for during our call, the Rothman campaign's request for the counting of ballots is unorthodox, improper and founded upon nothing more than mere speculation," Genova wrote.

As the hearing continued before a judge Monday evening, Pascrell organized a protest in front of the Passaic County Courthouse in Paterson.

The race between the two former friends has become one of the most bitter in recent New Jersey history. Rothman moved to Englewood, where he was mayor in the 1980s, to challenge Pascrell after his home in Fair Lawn was placed in a district with Rep. Scott Garrett (R). The new district is 57 percent of Rothman's former district and 43 percent of Pascrell's. Rothman has claimed that Pascrell is the more conservative of the two, with Pascrell charging that Rothman has misrepresented his record in Congress.

Clinton campaigned on Pascrell's behalf last week, following Pascrell's strong support for Hillary Clinton in the 2008 presidential election. Rothman, the only New Jersey congressman to back Obama in the 2008 primaries, claimed Obama's backing following a White House meeting with the president last week. Obama did not endorse Rothman.
