ONLY ON THE BLOG: Answering today's five OFF-SET questions is Michelle Dawn Crowder of Durant, Oklahoma.

Crowder has started an online petition calling on elected officials to create Caylee's Law, making it a felony for a parent or guardian to not notify law enforcement of a child going missing in a timely manner.

UPDATE 7-7-11: According to Change.org, Crowder's petition is the most popular campaign in the website's history. In less than 36 hours, more than 250,000 people in all 50 states have joined in.

Change.org has attracted more than 3 million members around the world. The website allows ordinary people to effect social change by starting online signature campaigns targeting lawmakers, companies and nations.

What was your first reaction when you saw the Casey Anthony verdict?

To be honest, I was sickened and angered by the verdict. I have been watching the trial on TV here and there and felt in my heart that Casey Anthony was guilty, and when I found out it took her a full 31 days to report Caylee’s disappearance, and the things she did during those 31 days, I got upset and felt she should be held accountable for that.

Even if she is truly not guilty for the murder, not being punished for failing to report Caylee’s disappearance is wrong. FULL POST

The Number of the Day is 63.

That’s the number of votes South Korea received on Wednesday out of 95 cast.

Therefore, the International Olympic Committee announced that the 2018 Winter Olympics will be held in the city of Pyeongchang.  It was South Korea’s third try—they failed in 2010 and 2014–and this time around, they beat bids from Munich, Germany, and Annecy, France.

South Korea has never hosted Winter Games and Pyeongchang's slogan for the games is "New Horizons".

Talking about horizons, what's amazing about this decision, to me at least, is that I didn’t even realize there was mountainous terrain in South Korea sufficient to have world-class ski resorts and host the winter Olympics.

Time for me to take another look at the topographic maps of the world. FULL POST

TWITTER TOWN HALL; SOMETHING AWESOME FROM FACEBOOK - President Barack Obama will answer questions about the economy and jobs Wednesday during his first Twitter town hall meeting. But the president, known for his oft- lengthy responses to the shortest of questions, will not be confined to Twitter's 140-character limit. He is verbally answering questions from Twitter users, who were urged to use the hash tag #AskObama.

President Obama said Tuesday that he invited Democratic and Republican leaders from both chambers of Congress to the White House for a meeting Thursday to discuss deficit reduction and the need to raise the federal debt ceiling.

In other social media news, Facebook has scheduled a Wednesday news conference to announce the launch of what it termed "something awesome." The leading theory is that the company will unveil a video-chat feature powered by Skype. FULL POST
