One of the most noted crime-fighting tools started because of a conversation at a card game between J. Edgar Hoover of the FBI and a newspaper reporter. The reporter wanted to profile some of the most wanted criminals the FBI was searching for. The resulting article caused a sensation, leading to the publication of the first “Ten Most Wanted” list by the FBI on this date in 1950. In the years since, 500 men and women have appeared on the list. Of these, 470 have been apprehended or located. Across the U.S., at the end of 2012, just under 1.6 million people were in federal or state prisons, the third consecutive year of a decline in incarceration.

Not much happening here anymore.
Maybe because logging requires perseverance and luck.
Maybe because there is so little trash talk fearing a bogus lawsuit.
Maybe because of boredom.
Maybe because (your reason goes here)
Maybe apathy –Winter blues–? So–let’s throw out a question–Has it occurred to anyone
the Malaysia missing plane story had the media chasing its tail for 8 days–do you feel you’re
in the middle of a Tom Clancy novel?
where oh where did the airplane go
HiH got boring after all the bloggers got sued and left. I really miss those days.
D&C….Remember ole ‘Miles Glorious (sp?)? Nothing against this sight but it did lose a lot of its punch after the fake lawsuit threat.
If they can’t find a big plane, how will they ever find the missing bank bag?
Oh yeah, whatever happened to Chicken Little and her cat, Pugnacious?
The old HiH focus on local history and current local events tended to trigger a seemingly high school side of people. The increasing name calling resulted in the downfall of some people who had not learned the difference between observation and judgement. It’s a kind of karma of engaging words before reflection. There must be a balance.
