A few weeks ago, we asked you to come up with clever team names for the upcoming 30th Annual ACLI Capital Challenge taking place on May 4.

Well, we asked and you delivered. All of the team name submissions were smart and witty, which made it hard to pick just a few winners. However, after much deliberation (think 12 Angry Men crossed with a rock, paper, scissors tournament) we finally have the six winning names for NPR's Capital Challenge Race teams. Starter pistol, please! What? That's more appropriate than a drum roll in this case, right? Okay, anyway...

• News Travels Fast, submitted by Richard Klein

• Listener Supported Cardio, submitted by Jake Bender

• Wait, Wait Don't Pass Me!, a tie: submitted by both Jeanette Lyman and Amanda Mason

• Fresh Outta Air, submitted by Jennifer Hoffman

• Fly Like a Siegel, submitted by Olivia Pape

• Gasping for Airwaves, submitted by John McDermott

If your name is listed, email us with your mailing address to claim your coveted prize: an NPR t-shirt! Congratulations to the selected winners, and thanks to everyone who submitted a response.

With names like these, how can they lose. Wait, don't answer that. Okay, gotta run...

You may know that some of your favorite NPR journalists are quick of mind, but did you know they're also fleet footed?

NPR runners will be out in full force once again at the 30th Annual ACLI Capital Challenge taking place on May 4. This three-mile race pits teams from the legislative, executive and judicial branches of the federal government and the media against each other to benefit Special Olympics DC.

One of the key elements of the competition is coming up with a crafty team name. In the past we've been able to come up with clever monikers like The Split Trackers, Shin Splinterviews, Schweddy Balls (a salute to the SNL spoof of NPR), and Nimble Pavement Runners.

But after 10 years of multiple NPR teams competing, we decided to focus all our energy on training. Must...control...intake....of orange slices! So, we're asking you, our witty and creative listeners, to come up with humorous (and appropriate) team names.

Leave your best suggestions in the comments section. We'll let you know our final picks right here in a few weeks. If your name is selected, we'll send you an NPR t-shirt (score!).

Ready, set, GO!

Forget all the awful things you've heard about some people having a "face for radio." While you wouldn't confuse our staff with high couture runway models, our journalists can be quite photogenic and, yes, even stylish. In the spirit of Fashion Week, let's have some fun...

Last fall, we asked our journalists, editors and executives to take a step out from behind their microphones, desks and computer screens and to get their pictures taken. We want you to help us pick which pics are most worthy of being used to promote that person. These new headshots will be used for a variety of publicity purposes, including posting on the bio pages. And who knows, maybe the photo you pick will end up in a photospread in a chic fashion magazine one day!

Since the photographer, Doby, took so many beautiful shots, we are having a hard time selecting just one. This is why we're calling on the public radio audience for help. Liane Hansen (host, Weekend Edition Sunday), Guy Raz (weekend host, All Things Considered) and Richard Harris (correspondent, Science Desk) have all narrowed it down to their favorites and are asking our audience to select the final shot, which will be posted on their respective bio pages.

The polls will be open for one week (last day to vote is Friday, Feb. 25). We'll post the results here.
