STAFFORD, Texas -- Two newborns provided quite the drama for their Houston area mothers. The mothers had one plan but the babies had another.
First-time mom Alex Biggs was in the hospital Monday. Her sister-in-law and three-time mom Ivy Syon was helping out.
"The plan was she would help me through labor," Biggs said.
Syon was 38 weeks pregnant and her water broke. "It was very embarrassing like the TV shows," Syon said.
About three hours later, Syon delivered baby Chloe. Alex was still pushing.
"I didn't get mad at her, but I just, I was like really," Biggs said.
"My sister beat us," said Clarence Biggs, Alex's husband and Syon's brother.
Finally Jada arrived to join Chloe.
The sisters-in-law saw each other again later that day.
"I didn't want to rub it in," Syon said.
"We're a very close family already," said four-time father Corey Syon.
Clarence agreed.
"Just makes it that much more special, that much more meaningful," Clarence said.
It's a special bond, started at birth and held perhaps for life with yet another fringe benefit.
"Cheaper birthday parties. We split the cost," Corey said. "We're very excited about that."

HOUSTON -- The sunshine has returned and we probably will not see a rain chance until the middle of next week, said KHOU 11 News Chief Meteorologist David Paul.
Now that the rain is gone for a few days, our rain totals show that we are way above normal for the first 16 days of the year. Bush and Hobby have seen just over three inches. Normally, they're at 1.5 inches. In Galveston, the normal is two inches; however, they've seen more than seven inches of rain.
Even with the sunshine, it was still chilly and breezy on Wednesday. While Houston's high temp hovered around 50, the wind chill made if feel like it was in the 40's.
Overnight and into Thursday morning, lows will be at or below freezing in the northern counties. Temps will rebound during the day to the upper 50's with breezy and sunny conditions.
From Houston to the coast, overnight lows will be a little above freezing. On Thursday, highs will also be in the upper 50's.
Over the next seven days, expect chilly mornings and cool afternoons. Highs this weekend will be in the 60's.

ZEBULON — In letters to two former teachers at East Wake Academy, a federal labor rights agency says the teachers and a class of similarly situated female employees were subjected to a sexually hostile work environment while working for the charter school.
East Wake Academy, founded in 1998, is a charter school in Zebulon known for its high test scores and graduation rates. About 1,000 students attend its elementary, middle and high schools.
The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission began investigating the school in September 2012 after complaints from two former teachers who said East Wake Academy headmaster Brandon Smith sexually harassed them. Court documents show one teacher claims that Smith in August 2011 pulled the back of her pants down when asking to look at her tattoo, while the other teacher claims Smith admitted to her in January 2011 that he had sexual thoughts about her.
Smith, who has repeatedly denied the claims against him, couldnt be reached for comment. He no longer works at the school.
After the EEOC found that East Wake Academy violated the two teachers rights, the letters show, federal investigators invited the school to participate in discussions which might result in a settlement for the teachers. However, settlement negotiations failed, so the EEOC referred the case to the U.S. Department of Justice.
There is no timetable for the DOJ to take action, said Kelly Ensslin, an attorney for one of the former teachers.
Smiths personal attorney, James Hairston, cast doubt on the EEOCs findings Friday: As far as Im concerned, (the EEOC findings are) pretty much a one-sided story since we werent contacted ... or consulted.
According to the EEOC letters, the agency found sufficient evidence that Smith subjected the teachers and other employees to unwelcome sexual comments, inappropriate touching and derogatory gender-based comments.
The News & Observer generally does not identify people who say theyve been sexually assaulted. The letters did not say how many other female employees were interviewed.
Ensslin said the EEOCs finding is significant because it adds credence to the teachers claims against Smith and the school.
East Wake Academy fired Smith in March 2012 after the two teachers filed criminal complaints against him with the Zebulon Police Department, which later charged Smith with two counts of misdemeanor sexual battery.
The criminal case is ongoing. The teachers are suing Smith for his actions personally and as headmaster of East Wake Academy.
We believe that the EEOC finding is appropriate and supports the facts as we understand them, Ensslin said.
Katie Hartzog, an attorney representing East Wake Academy and Smith, declined to comment. Mike Lester, chairman of the schools board of directors, did not return calls seeking comment.
The EEOC also investigated whether East Wake Academy leaders intimidated or retaliated against the two teachers, but the letters show the agency didnt find sufficient evidence to make a ruling.
In a civil lawsuit against Smith, the teachers allege that Lester, the board chairman, tried to protect Smith. The teachers claim in court documents that Lester showed Smith the teachers written complaints about him after promising the teachers he would protect their identities.
As a result, Smith then tampered with the schools computer server to block access to the teachers email accounts, the teachers claim in court documents.

James "Bubba" Stewart
Oakley superstar James "Bubba" Stewart continued his impressive winning streak this past weekend. In front of over 45,000 fans at Angel Stadium, he mounted a come-from-behind win in the opening round of the 2006 Amp'd Mobile AMA Supercross Series.
After poor starts in the main, Bubba – along with Oakley's Ricky Carmichael, the all-time race winner of the sport – sliced their way through the pack and moved past Yamaha's Chad Reed at the half-way point. RC moved into the lead first, but a mishap in the technical whoop section had the Oakley rider picking himself off the ground. After the misfortune of RC, Bubba moved passed Chad Reed and, little by little, distanced himself from the rest of the field. Reigning Amp'd Mobile World Supercross GP and AMA Supercross Champion Ricky Carmichael finished third after mounting a late charge while Reed rode steady to finish second.
Oakley rider Ernesto Fonseca, who had control of the race by the end of the first lap was looking good until the track reached up and yanked him off his bike on lap 2. Michael Byrne looked great all day in practice, but when the sun fell upon the night program, unfortunately, so did the Aussie. Byrne crashed hard in the heat race and suffered a bruised heel, but was able to tough it out and race the main event to finish in ninth while Ernesto got up and claimed sixth.

PSE&G is reporting about 4,000 customers without power in the early stages of Hurricane Sandy. The majority – about 3,000 – are located in the utility's southern counties of Mercer, Burlington, Camden and Gloucester. The utility provides electric service to 2.2 million customers.
The utility is urging customers to prepare for the possibility of lengthy outages – perhaps seven days or more -- due to the enormity of Hurricane Sandy, which forecasters predict may become the worst storm to hit the Northeast in 100 years.
It may take until Wednesday until a full assessment of the storm's damage can be made and the utility can more accurately predict when full restoration can be made.
Other news in the latest PSE&G update from the company:
- PSE&G will be ready to respond to outages as soon as the strong winds subside and it is safe to work in bucket trucks and other equipment. Flooding and downed trees also can make it hard for crews to get to damage locations. We work closely with towns and counties to clear roads so that we can respond.
- To aid in restoration, PSE&G has secured 653 line workers from other utilities to assist PSE&G's 600 linemen in restoring power. In addition, PSE&G has secured 526 tree contractors to clear damaged trees and limbs from power lines. Crews have been arriving from Texas, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, Florida, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Georgia and New Jersey, as well as Canada. PSE&G is working to secure additional resources that may be needed depending on the amount of damage and outages.
- Many of the outages are caused by falling trees and limbs, which bring down power lines. Downed wires should always be considered "live." STAY AWAY FROM ALL DOWNED LINES. Do not approach or drive over a downed line and do not touch anything that it might be in contact with. To report a downed wire and other visible equipment damage, call 1-800-436-PSEG and tell PSE&G the nearest cross street. To report a power outage, call PSE&G's Customer Service line: 1-800-436-PSEG.
- In addition to widespread electric outages, PSE&G expects the heavy rain and predicted storm surge to result in gas outages. Water could enter the utility's gas distribution system, as well as flood customers' basements and gas appliances. Customers are reminded to call PSE&G to report gas odors, and contact their local fire department and municipal construction office to receive assistance in pumping the water out of their basements.
- Customers with wells are advised to have a supply of bottled drinking water on hand, and should fill the bathtub with water for sanitary purposes.
- Crews work around the clock to repair equipment and restore power. The utility's call center also will be fully staffed on a 24-hour basis to handle calls from customers. Other employees will assist with assessing storm damage, keeping the public away from any downed power lines and other functions that support restoration efforts.
- Electric crews work to restore power to the largest numbers of customers first, taking into account "priority" customers, such as hospitals, police stations, fire stations, water and sewer facilities, communications facilities (TV, radio, and telephone), and customers on life-sustaining medical equipment. At the same time, the utility restores power to homes and businesses, starting with the circuits serving the largest number of customers.
- Customers with a handheld device, or who are at an alternate location with power, can also report power outages and view the status of their outage by logging in to My Account at pseg.com. General outage activity throughout our service territory is available online at www.pseg.com/outagecenter and updates are posted on pseg.com during severe weather.
- PSE&G has activated its Twitter page to keep the public informed about our restoration progress. Sign up as a follower at http://twitter.com/psegdelivers to monitor restoration progress.

|Establishing data's value
Risk-to-benefit actuarial analysis often shows the cost to meet an organization's DRobjectives for all applications and associated data. This leads to a budget-driven DR approach that may meet the DR requirements only for the organization's most vital application data. The rest of the data is either completely unprotected or relegated to a DR approach that falls short of organizational and regulatory requirements. This is also known as the DRGAP (gravely abysmal protection).
The DRGAP is the difference between the level of DRrequired and the level of DR that can be afforded, or the difference between the actual level provided and the level required.
What is cost-effective DR?
Depending on a company's needs, the definition of costeffective DR can vary considerably. For our purposes, cost-effective DR is defined as meeting the DR needs of the organization; the protected data is within compliance with regulations, and the DR process falls within the organization's budget. The ADCF is the key element to determining the proper balance between under- and overspending on DR protection.
Use the ADCF to determine the value of the data to be protected. One method that works well is to assign the data to four categories: mission critical, essential, important and less critical (see "Establishing data's value," this page). For each category, you must set the recovery point objectives (RPOs) and recovery time objectives (RTOs). Next, each application and its associated data must be prioritized and assigned to a category. This isn't as daunting as it might appear. Ongoing surveys suggest that assignment should be based on application availability requirements, regulatory compliance and elimination of business risk.

Cumberland Times-News
As a smoker, I could not resist responding to Lisa Taylor's letter ("Smoking downtown's most undesirable problem," Sept. 18 Times-News).
I agree with many points she makes in her courageous declaration of confronting "problems" in the downtown area. She is a strong, pro-active lady.
However, the contradictions in her reasoning astound my rather meager intelligence. She writes that the so-called "undesirables" are not a big problem, nor are the planters nor the "restrictive nature of new fences."
Downtown is beautiful except for "poorly thought out trees" that drop berries on the mall. Thus, "dining is unpleasant."
I've eaten at various restaurants scores of times and never had one berry drop in my salad or hot dog. Should we cut down the "poorly thought out trees" because of the berries? Would doing so make downtown less beautiful?
She complains about the "volumes of smokers" polluting the air she is breathing. Where is this "volume of smokers"?
I visit downtown several times a day; I see no "volume" of anybody, let alone smokers. I might see one or two people huddled in a doorway puffing away, but no "volume" of anything except pigeons! (Let's ban them, too!)
Nevertheless, I take her at her word, and shall continue my search for this elusive "volume" of demonic smokers. She also complains of cigarette butts on the bricked mall. True, but hardly enough to count.
I'm too busy to notice butts "sandwiched between the bricks." Is the general public offended by this grievous assault on the bricks? Heaven help the street sweepers "paid by our tax" dollars!
Well, ask any smoker about the taxes we pay on cigarettes. Small wonder West Virginia smiles at Marylanders — laughing all the way to the bank as Marylanders stream across the state line as Taylor would have us do — so much for local businesses.
Taylor complains about the "second-hand smoke" in the open air of the mall — a public space. Ban smoking on the mall? Well, it wouldn't be much of a public mall, would it?
How would this ban be enforced? What would the penalty be? She offers no advice. Perhaps, a scarlet "C" on the forehead would be appropriate for the offender.
How does someone smoking a block away affect her breathing? What pseudo-science proves that? How does smoking in my parked car on North Centre Street offend anyone except a person who doesn't have a life?
Her myopic obsession with banning "undesirables" leads obviously to the infamous "slippery slope"dilemma. She should take a cursory course in American history.
The Volstead Act (Prohibition) backfired when "clean living" citizens of Taylor's ilk banned liquor, making Al Capone a rich man. During Prohibition, the problem of alcohol consumption was exacerbated, not resolved.
If smoking is banned, shouldn't we ban any business that sells tobacco? A rhetorical question!
Of course. Logic dictates — goodbye, several more businesses in Cumberland. Why not ban everything that offends — trees that shed, berries, undesirables, pool rooms, casinos, medical marijuana, soldiers smoking in trenches, big cars that consume too much gas, coal trucks, school buses? Where will the madness end?
The only time I see "volumes" of people downtown is Friday after Five. The few smokers I see keep a respectful distance from the crowd, including me.
Taylor says taking action will have an immediate impact. As a former businessman, I disagree. The action she proposes is impractical and commercially foolish. Why drive potential customers away? It's financial suicides.
She urges community leaders to take a first step. I say it's a false step. The first step is to revitalize downtown business. The real "undesirable problem" is not berry-bearing trees or "volumes" of non-existent smokers; it's the number of empty buildings, not a few cigarette butts.

The lights went on and the Recuperate Debate began. How did it end? It was a DRAW! We watched as Romney and Obama came out ready to fight for votes. They both dressed sharp.

Let's face it, it you liked Romney before the debate, you love him now! If you liked President Obama before the debate you are probably still swooning over him and his failed presidency. The spin-doctors were out in full force after the recuperate debate announcing why their man blew his adversary away with every successive fired shot. It was high noon in the middle of the town and the people saw the gunfight they came to see. Obama had to recuperate if his campaign was to go on.
Obama's people said he won! Romney's people said he won! Here is what I saw and why I think both men won parts of this debate.Romney won because he continued to show the people how he, as president, would turn around the failed policies of the Obama administration. Obama was in a do or die position and because he did not die (like he did in the first debate) many on the left cheered him for his sharp shooting. All Obama had to do was a tiny bit better than he did at the last debate and he would be called the WINNER! He was a winner because he hit the target. Obama did not even have a loaded gun during the last debate. He had to recuperate from his past debate failure. Let's face it, all Obama had to do was not fall asleep and he would be called the winner.
Now down to the specifics. The scientific polls showed Obama was the winner of the debate when those polled were asked. "Who won?" Yet, on many other topics, Romney ran away with the votes from the same polled viewers. Our national security issues, our economy, our foreign policy, and the deficit were all areas that the same viewers that said Obama won the debate stated that Romney would do a better job than the president.
This election is about the economy, jobs, and our national security. Romney tells Obama over and over how he is going to do it but Obama just does not get it! Obama does not understand how a strong economy will help the deficit issue. I understand it and I hate math. What is wrong with Obama's mind that after four years he still does not understand economics? So here goes, maybe we can send this to Obama and he will finally get it!
Romney wants to release the restraints on small businesses to open up growth. Less restricted, they decide to hire new employees. What will that one change in attitude do to our economy? To start with we will have millions on unemployment move over to being taxpayers! Millions of unemployment checks go out each week to the unemployed. Millions of American citizens have been on public assistance for over two years. Many no longer get checks because there is no work to be found. So, if you get millions of Americans off of their weekly unemployment checks, that money, billions of dollars, will be saved and will stay in the government kitty. So, if we are not taking money out of our bank account, our bank account will be stronger. We now will have that money to use to whittle down the deficit. At 23 million people receiving about $250 each week that comes to about a savings of $5,750,000,000 each week. Please let that amount sink in. That is not a year worth of payments, it is only a week's worth. That is what the government pays out each week in unemployment checks on average. That money will be staying in the government's bank account. Do you understand what I am talking about?
Next, those very same millions of Americans will now be working at a job making, lets just settle on $10 per hour.They are working 40 hours a week. That means their paycheck will be about $400 per week. Their take home will be about $328 per week. They will be paying in about $72 per week in taxes. Now that they are drawing a paycheck they will now be paying the government money instead of taking money from the government. That amount will be about $1,656,000,000. Nearly $2 billion coming into the government each week. Let's add up those two figures and we see a boost to the economy of $7,406,000,000 each week. SEVEN BILLION people. Yet, Obama keeps saying Romney will not tell him how he is going to do it. We will have to work to do to recover from the mess that Obama has this country in now. It will not happen overnight. Yet, I do not think Romney will be the Obama blaming type of leader, he knows how bad this economy is. He has blamed Bush for the last four years, who will he blame if he is reelected, himself? We are all tire of his inability to accept his own failures. Heck, he blamed Hillary this week, has he no shame?
Obama was very much like the Cheshire cat, VP Biden, but he took it to a new level. When Romney handed him his whinny hinny about his administration's handling of the terrorist attack and the death of 4 Americans he was so frustrated with his failure that he told Romney to shut up! He told the moderator to Move On! Hold up there, Mr. President, this is America and like it or not we are entitled to be heard. You are NOT a ruler. America is a republic, not a kingdom. It was so sad to see the president talk about how he would fix our country as if this was 2008 and he had not been living in the White House for the last four years.
So what do you say about who won this debate? Let's face it, the moderator, who blew it, she could not keep them in check. Telling them to sit down and that their time was up was not heard by either man. As a journalist hosting a debate, you NEVER interject your opinions into the evening and yet she did just that on the terror issue. This morning the talk is about her and not the candidates. With Clinton it was the word "IT." With Obama it is the word, "terror." As for the "act of terror' comment, saying we don't allow an act of terror is not the same as saying, "We were attacked by terrorists!" They spent the next five days saying four Americans died because of a movie not because of a terrorist attack. Talk about spinning! His answer spoke volumes to me about his character. The only people that are swallowing that Kool Aid are the die-hard "Hail Obama" group and from the poll numbers, that group is shrinking every time Obama opens his mouth.
In the end I would just say this, which person would you want to handle your retirement, a man who openly admits that he has not done as well as this competitor or the man that was smart enough to build an awesome retirement for himself and his wife. I will vote for the more successful man. Once again Obama cheered for weakness, his own and called success failure. For me, the debate was about this, Obama had no answer for the man that stood up and said, "I voted for you last time and you have not delivered!" He spoke for most Americans. I only get one vote. I feel like it was a draw. The president did such a lousy job last time that all he needed to do was show up and he would be called the winner. He showed up just like he has shown up for the last four years: arrogant, angry, blaming, and with no answers to the problems facing Americans today. What say ye?

Four workers escaped injury when a malfunctioning electric furnace exploded around 6:10 p.m. Monday at the North American Hoganas plant on Bridge Street in Moxham.
The explosion caused a massive fire in the furnace room, located on the third floor of the building that manufactures powdered metals, said Johnstown fire Chief Anthony Kovacic.
He said his firefighters did a great job of putting the flames out quickly.
The workers helped firefighters by making sure that every worker was accounted for and letting responders know the type of materials with which they had to contend, he said.
Rick Heinrich said he was operating the furnace and doing a "break-in" of a new liner when the accident took place. Heinrich said they were melting raw materials, and the operation seemed to be going all right when the furnace "kicked out a ground."
Heinrich said that was a warning that something was wrong. When flames started shooting
from the furnace, he said he told everybody to get out.
Sterling Larue, another worker in the furnace room, said all of the employees and the supervisors made sure that everyone got out safely.
"I appreciate that," he said, adding that the safety training they have received works.
John Mirkovich, melting supervisor for the furnace, was at home when the accident happened but lives just a short distance away and was there in minutes.
"I ran to the tower to see if the workers were still there," he said. "I saw Rick and he told me that everyone was out and accounted for."
Mirkovich said firefighters did a great job. They made sure everyone was accounted for, asked what hazards were in the building, and then made a plan to fight the fire, he said.
Avinash Gore, president and chief executive officer of North American Hoganas, said they put a new liner in the furnace five days ago.
It is a sensitive time for the furnace until workers can season it to bring it into production, he said.
Starting today, workers will start to assess the damage and then decide what repairs are needed.
Workers also will study the lining to determine what went wrong and how they can eliminate the problem, he said.
The company prides itself on its safety practices, Gore said, adding that the last accident at the plant took place in December 1994, when the plant was owned by SCM Metals Products. The workers can take credit for the excellent safety record because they take their training seriously, he said.
Gore said the company is pleased with the response of emergency responders.
Having worked on five continents, Gore said he rates the emergency services as among the best he has seen.
Gore said that the plant will continue operations at its others buildings at the sprawling Bridge Street plant.
Depending on how long it takes to make repairs to the damaged furnace, workers may be transferred to do the same work at its Hollsopple plant, he said.

Jason Robert LeClair and the Rhode Island Theatre Ensemble are teaming up to bring "It's a Wonderful Life" to St. Ann Arts and Cultural Center this week starting Friday.
A holiday classic and American cultural icon, "It's a Wonderful Life" has become a staple of our collective lives, LeClair said.
"The film that enters our living rooms around the country and has given us a spirit of hope for our own futures since 1947 has been transformed into this live stage presentation by playwright James W. Rodgers," according to the production's release.
The Rhode Island Theatre Ensemble, based in Burriville, asked LeClair, a teacher at Beacon Charter School, and author, to take the reigns and create his holiday vision at the historic St. Ann Arts and Cultural Center in Woonsocket.
LeClair has placed his unique stamp on something that is intrinsic to our culture and close to our hearts. Surrounded by the beauty of the structure that houses North America's largest collection of fresco paintings, the RISE production team and cast have taken this familiar tale and molded the experience to bring audiences of all ages even closer to the characters that helped to shape our vision of the holidays.
The production will perform Dec. 7, 8, 14 & 15 at 8 p.m. and on Dec. 9 & 16 at 2 p.m. For tickets, call 401-441–5011 or visit www.ristage.org

They say that sometimes bad things happen to good people. I can vouch for that.
Good, upright citizens, following all the rules, doing what they're supposed to do, and then... Wham! Through no fault of their own they get clobbered.
This is one of those stories. It's a true story, by the way, but I'll not use any real names and will try to avoid making the victim identifiable. I'm not like one of those websites that passes all your information along to advertisers. I really do value your privacy.
So let's call him Karl.
Karl is the kind of guy who runs a family business, stays out of trouble, spends time with his wife and kids, and has a hobby that's as American as apple pie.
At work, he has a computer that's less than a year old, runs the tried-and-true Windows XP, keeps his Internet security product updated, and doesn't "experiment" with his computer.
He's an intelligent guy and knows his trade very well, but it's not computers. If he has a computer question, he usually calls me about it instead of poking around by himself "trying stuff."
He pretty much just uses the PC on his desk at work for work. A little surfing about his hobby, maybe. His biggest computer vice would be that he listens to Internet radio during the day.
A nice guy.
Enter the next player: Microsoft.
One of the things Microsoft recommends is that you set your computer to automatically receive and implement Windows updates. The idea is that you will then get all the security and important bug fixes, and enjoy safer and more reliable computing.
This is a reasonable assumption. Lots of people do it. Karl did it, too.

Online course will let students give money away
By JOSH FUNK, Associated Press
OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — A free online course is offering students the chance to learn about giving from Warren Buffett and to help decide how to spend more than $100,000 of his sister's money.
More than 4,000 people have already signed up from the course that will also feature philanthropic advice from baseball legend Cal Ripken Jr., the founders of Ben & Jerry's ice cream and several other prominent givers. It starts Monday.
Buffett and his older sister, Doris Buffett, will be featured during the first class. But everyone involved with the course says the fact that students get a chance to give away real money may be more important to the course's success than the speakers.
Rebecca Riccio, the Northeastern University professor who will teach the course, says the money helps make the lessons stick.

Heres hoping youll get everything under your tree you want on Christmas morning. Lets take a look at some things we can all wish will be under the trees of sports personalities and teams in the state of Georgia.
For the Atlanta Falcons: a much better month of January than what theyve had the past few seasons. May they do well at home and not let any team get in the way of winning the franchises first Super Bowl in the New Orleans Saints home dome come February.
For the Atlanta Braves: a healthy Brian McCann for most of the 2013 season.
For Major League Baseball umpires: a clarification of the infield fly rule so they wont mess up that call again in a crucial game like they did in Atlanta in early October. Its the infield fly rule, guys, not the outfield fly rule.
For Georgia head coach Mark Richt: a copy of the new book written by a wise old football coach called, Know When to Spike the Football.
For Georgia Tech head coach Paul Johnson: a new defensive coordinator that will give the Yellow Jackets a chance to actually stop teams from scoring at will next season.
For Georgia Southern head coach Jeff Monken: a new place-kicker who can actually kick.
For Falcons running back Michael Turner: a fullback who can block for him and a solid playoffs from his offensive line.
For Braves starter Kris Medlen: a new hat that doesnt look like he has lost a bet and has to wear it that way (flat).
For Falcons tight end Tony Gonzalez: a trip to a real greasy buffet, because no one should be that healthy.
For Josh Smith: a new long-term contract from the Hawks.
For UGA basketball fans: a coach who believes in scouting the AAU programs so he can get better talent.
For NHL fans: oh, wait, there is no NHL.
For Falcons owner Arthur Blank: a real good architect who can not only design a state-of-the-art retractable roof dome that Blank wants, but also an architect and planner who can also better coordinate the area around the new facility.
For Braves second baseman Dan Uggla: a winter of rest so he wont get bigger, which in turn might help improve his bat speed and allow him to regain the power he has lost since he arrived in Atlanta.
For Georgia quarterback Aaron Murray: about three more inches in height so he can be a more serious NFL prospect, whether its this year or next year.
For Atlanta Hawks head coach Larry Drew: a pulse. Yes, we wanted this for him last year, and Santa obviously missed his house.
For Jason Heyward and Freddie Freeman: long-term contracts from the Braves, so they wont even be close to free agency at some point and can be the core to build this team around in the future.
For former Braves star Dale Murphy: a surprising overwhelming show of support by the Baseball Writers Association of America that will land one of the best baseball players in the 1980s a place in Baseballs Hall of Fame in Cooperstown.
For Braves owners Liberty Media: a desire to sell the team to someone who actually cares.
For Bobby Petrino: a better excuse (i.e. lie) for the next time he gets caught doing something he shouldnt do.
For recently retired Braves third baseman Chipper Jones: something to do.
For Mercer basketball head coach Bob Hoffman: an A-Sun championship and a trip to the NCAA tournament.
And for the readers of this column and the listeners to my radio show: a tremendous Christmas with your friends and family and a prosperous New Year.
Listen to The Bill Shanks Show from 3-6 p.m. weekdays on WPLA Fox Sports 1670 AM in Macon and online at www.foxsports1670.com. Follow Bill on email@example.com.

We've got a lot of Concord information to get to, courtesy of the Concord Sports Information Office, so let's get started.
The Concord University women's soccer team opened up West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play by losing to West Virginia Wesleyan, 2-0, Saturday night.
Fiona Mearns, Kari Simon, Erika Hoff and Abby Barber all recorded shots for the Mountain Lions. Goalie Kaitlyn Wasylko stopped seven shots and allowed both goals in 90 minutes of play.
Concord (0-3-1, 0-1 WVIAC) fell behind early when Olivia Peduzzi scored for West Virginia Wesleyan (2-1-1, 1-0 WVIAC) just two minutes into regulation. Neither side could gain an advantage for the remainder of the half until Megan McCoy scored off of a Heather Sanders pass at 43:26 to give West Virginia Wesleyan a 2-0 lead that it would take into half-time.
The Mountain Lions put pressure on the Wesleyan defense in the second half when Mearns, Simon and Hoff all put shots on goal within 10 minutes of each other, but none of the attempts were able to find their ways into the back of net.
For the game, Wesleyan held 16-4 and 2-1 advantages in shots and corners, respectively.
Concord University volleyball (3-6) dropped two matches on Saturday at the Wildcat Invitational hosted by Wilmington University. CU fell to Indiana University of Pennsylvania (IUP) in the morning, 3-1, and suffered the second loss to Kutztown University, 3-2.
CU didn't make it easy on the Hawks in the opening match. They came out on top by keeping the lead and winning the first set, 25-22. The Mountain Lions played IUP close the rest of the match, but lost the last three sets 25-21, 27-25, and 25-16.
Sophomore Sarah Jones led the team in kills with 15, also notching nine digs and three blocks. Junior Jasmine Sutherland was second in the match with kills at five. Sutherland and Becca Lovejoy both beat their previous season-highs in blocks with five each. Brytni Willis racked up 17 digs, seven kills, three aces (a match-high) and one block for Concord against IUP.
The Mountain Lions were able to steal two sets from Kutztown in their afternoon match-up. CU took set one (25-21) and set three (25-18) from the Golden Bears, but Kutztown was able to sneak away with the win by capturing set two (25-22), set four (25-18), and set five (15-12).
Willis posted a double-double vs. Kutztown after nailing a career-high 17 kills during the match along with 12 digs, two blocks, and an ace. Jones was a threat at the net with 15 kills, 14 digs, three aces, and one block.
Libero Lindsey Smith played hard on defense Saturday, ending up with a career-high 29 digs on the day. Setter Nikki McMillan matched her season-high with two 21-assist matches.
The Concord University women's volleyball team lost a pair of 3-1 matches Friday at the Wildcat Invitational in New Castle, Delaware.
The losses drop Concord's record to 3-4 on the year.
The Mountain Lions began the day losing to University of the Sciences 25-16, 18-25, 15-25 and 15-25 before ending the day with a 2-18, 23-25, 13-25 and 20-25 defeat against West Chester University.
Sarah Jones led Concord with a total of 22 kills and five blocks on the day. Willis finished second on the team with 14 kills while also serving three aces. Lovejoy chipped in nine total kills in the two matches.
Nikki McMillan totaled 30 assists.
Concord won the first set vs. the University of Sciences, but quickly fell behind in the second set and did not lead for the remainder of the match vs. the school from Philadelphia.
In their second match of the day, the Mountain Lions once again jumped out to a 1-0 advantage before falling in three consecutive sets to West Chester.
The Concord University men's soccer team improved to 1-1-1 on the season with a 2-0 victory over Bluefield College Thursday night at the East River Soccer Complex. With the loss, Bluefield's record drops to 1-3-0.
Sophomore Cameron Russell scored the first Mountain Lion goal of the season early in the second half while senior Richard Vincent added an insurance goal late in the contest to secure the win for Concord.
Senior goalkeeper Matt Hamilton ended the game with three saves for his second shutout of the season. Hamilton is now 1-0-1 on the season.
As a team, Concord out-shot Bluefield 11-9. Vincent led CU with a team-high three shots. Russell, sophomore Caleb Bone and junior Sebastian Escobar all added two shots apiece.
Neither side was able to score in the opening 45 minutes of action, but Russell broke the 0-0 tie when he scored off of a pass from junior Tyler Farrar at the 61:56 mark in the second half.
The Mountain Lion defense continued to play strong while the offense put one more goal on the board when Vincent scored an unassisted ball with 11:29 remaining in the game. Bluefield did not get a shot off in the final 12 minutes of the second half as Concord cruised to the multi-goal win.
The Concord University volleyball team recorded a hitting percentage of .352 en route to a 3-1 (25-16, 25-12, 23-25, 25-21) victory over UVA-Wise Tuesday night in the Carter Center. The victory was the Mountain Lions' first home-opening win since 2009.
Concord improved its record to 3-2 on the season with the victory. UVA-Wise fell to 0-5 after suffering the loss.
Sarah Jones led the way with a match-high 15 kills to go with three digs and three blocks. Jones hit .536 for the match. Sutherland and Lovejoy each added six kills while Willis chipped in five kills and a match-best 10 digs. Nikki McMillan passed out 21 assists with Amanda Walker totaling 13 assists of her own.
Lindsey Smith served up an impressive six aces in the four-set victory. Allie Pennington (three aces) and Willis (two aces) also had solid serving nights.
Concord began the night's opening set trailing 3-0, but regrouped to go on a 10-1 run to take a 10-4 lead. The Cavaliers cut the lead to as little as four points, but never mounted a serious threat in the opening set, as CU cruised to the 25-16 victory.
The Mountain Lions dominated the second set, winning 25-12, and seemed poised to shutout the visitors in the third, but UVA-Wise had other plans in mind. The Cavilers battled back in the third, eventually coming away with a 25-23 win to make it a 2-1 match. However, Concord wasn't about to let their home-opener slip away. Despite a late rally by UVA-Wise, The Mountain Lions were able to pull out a 25-21 win the fourth set to close out the match with a 3-1 win.
The Concord University women's soccer team ended its weekend with a 2-1 loss to Kutztown University Sunday afternoon at Anderson Field. The loss drops Concord's record to 0-1-1 on the season. Kutztown improved to 1-1-0 with the victory.
The Mountain Lions were led by Alyanna James, who scored her first goal of the season and third of her career, Sunday. Kari Simon also registered one shot on the afternoon. Goalie Kaitlyn Waslyko played all 90 minutes for Concord, stopping seven Golden Bear shots.
Concord played Kutztown even for the opening 35 minutes until Rae Carpenter snuck a shot past Waslyko to give Kutztown a 1-0 lead that it would keep heading into half-time.
The Mountain Lions responded early in the second half when James came away with a goal at the 46:10 mark in the game to tie CU with Kutztown at 1-1. However, the tie game would be short lived as Taylor Higgins scored the go-ahead goal just 48 seconds later for Kutztown. Concord was unable to respond and Kutztown hung on for the narrow 2-1 victory.
Speaking of soccer, here's some Princeton Middle School results, courtesy of A. Shrewsbury:
Kaitlyn Shrewsbury (Princeton Middle School) scored the first goal of the season for the Princeton Tigers against rival PikeView Panthers, on Sept. 5. The final score was 1-1 for the JV team.
Yorel Scott, of Princeton Middle School, scored the first goal of the season for the Princeton Tigers against rival PikeView Panthers on Sept. 5, for a final of 1-0 win for the Princeton Middle varsity team.
Here's my NFC South predictions: I see the Atlanta Falcons finishing first over the Carolina Panthers, New Orleans Saints and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Atlanta has faltered in the playoffs, but has had nothing but winning seasons since Mike Smith became head coach and Matt Ryan the quarterback. Because the Panthers are still growing and the Saints being coached by interim guys, I'm going with Atlanta to win.
The Panthers, provided Cam Newton continues to improve at quarterback, plus improvements defensively, may be the rising team in the NFC this year.
The Saints got their suspended players back, at least temporarily, but there have been too many disruptions this year for them to finish higher than third, despite the presence of Drew Brees at quarterback.
The Buccaneers have a new coach in Greg Schiano, formerly of Rutgers University. They added a wide receiver in former Charger Vincent Jackson and a new running back in first-round pick Doug Martin, Unfortunately, they are in a tough division.

The Tacoma School District in Washington State has a sunscreen ban, because, according to district officials, so many additives in lotions and sunscreens cause allergic reaction in children. Students are not allowed to carry sunscreen in their backpacks, or reapply it without a doctor's note.
One student recently came home after a field day at school, extremely burned because teachers were not allowed to apply sunscreen.
The school district said it has to ban sunscreen because it's state law.

Life is full of diffi culty! Yes. That's the way it is, and has been, ever since Adam and Eve wrongly handled the question someone raised in the garden - the first questionin history about God's Word and His intentions.
That was the world's first problem - how should we believe and act upon this new thought that has beenintroduced into our minds? Should we obey our CreatorWho forbade us to eat of the tree of the knowledge ofgood and evil? Or should we...? You know the rest.
As the result of their foolish solution, we now haveproblems with ourselves, with other people, with God,you name it. Life was not intendedwith ideas, with things-to be so full of problems, but ever since Eden, ithas become virtually problem-oriented.

I have spent the last few hours learning about Perl and scripting on my Mac to be able to run this script, and I have to say that I was extremely skeptical that I'd be able to figure out anything as an almost complete newbie. Fortunately it didn't take long before I realized that PDF::API2 was a module, which sent me scrambling to figure out how to install those. But, with good instruction on the 'net, I've got this thing up and running. What a great experience and so useful! Thank you for this!
- Posted By: iblis on June 28, 2010
You're welcome. I should have indeed made it clear that one needs PDF::API2...
On the Mac, you can also crop left and then right pages with Preview and re-assemble them with this script
- Posted By: martienne on October 24, 2010
It works nicely for smaller files... but it doesn't seem to work on larger files, for example one with 24 pages didn't work but one with 4 pages worked. The pages all come out blank for the bigger files.
Any idea?
- Posted By: iblis on November 9, 2010
@martienne I used the script on large files (300+ pages) without any problem (the only issue is increase in size). What platform are you running Perl on? Where do your PDFs come from (scan, OCRed scan...)? Do they already have the crop box set?
- Posted By: andreapisac on July 22, 2011
Hi there,
I would really like to try this code. Someone on the Adobe Forum posted a step to step guide for total beginners (like myself) on how to install Perl Modules (for Mac users). I followed that and it worked fine with no problems. Then they said to fire the script (meaning this one) in order to get this great feature, but this was assuming people knew how to fire scripts. Can someone be so kind to explain to a beginner what to do once I have installed PDF::API2. Thanks a million! Andrea
- Posted By: jlhkrans on December 10, 2011
Thank you very much.
If you have done some left and right cropping in the PDF before, you should change the lines 14 and 21 to: 14. $cropdata[2] = ($cropdata[2] + $cropdata[0]) / 2; 21. $cropdata[0] = ($cropdata[2] + $cropdata[0]) / 2;
- Posted By: teoric on July 19, 2014
Nice snippet!
When I run it, PDF::API2 does not copy the cropbox on import, so that I have to take it from the old page:
my $original_page = $oldpdf->openpage($page_nb); my @cropdata = $original_page->get_cropbox;

We loved staying in John's beautiful home! John and Krista were great to work with. The home is perfectly located in the town of Captain Cook, away from the more touristy areas of Kona and Kohala, although we enjoyed visiting those areas for a meal or a stroll. On our second day, we kayaked on the bay and swam with spinner dolphins for close to two hours; they jumped and spun around just 10 feet from us. That night we snorkeled with the manta rays with a great tour operator, Blue Sea Cruises. We were in the water for 30 minutes with eight enormous mantas and they were within inches of us. Almost too close for me! On Tuesday evening we went to a luau at the Mauna Kea resort, which was very well done as far as luaus go. Wednesday we snorkeled and kayaked again. We enjoyed dinner at Sam Choy's that night. Thursday my husband and sons played golf at Makalei Golf Club while I enjoyed a massage at the Fairmont Orchid. Friday we spent the entire day at the Kilauea Volcano park which was fabulous. And then after leaving this lovely home on Saturday, we enjoyed a delicious lunch by the water at the Four Seasons resort. We also enjoyed swimming with turtles and reef sharks nearby at Two Step on Friday and Saturday mornings. All in all we had a fantastic time, and John's home was the perfect place to relax and enjoy ourselves after activity-filled days.
Staying at the Manini Point Beach House was a memorable and pleasurable experience for us. The location is perfect, such serenity and beauty and within walking distance from an exceptional beach for water activities. The house is well appointed and a great place to relax and unwind. Steve and Elizabeth were great hosts. We enjoyed our time spent with them. We especially loved the tour of their organic farm. We will definitely recommend staying here to our family and friends. In fact, we already have! Book it, you'll love it.
This is the best location for snorkeling that the Big Island has to offer! On our first day we were snorkeling with a sea turtle, a manta ray and hundreds of fish right off the backside off the house. There is very easy access to the ocean if you follow the path down and walk less than 50 yards across the lava flow. It was very clean and well-maintained, had all the extra amenities you could need and plenty of space. We shopped at Costco in Kona upon our arrival to pick up our staple items, but purchased local fruits, vegetables and eggs right up the road from the house. It was a full days drive to visit Volcano National Park and another day to see the sites in Hilo & Mauna Kea Observatory, but was great to come back to the ocean breeze in the evenings. We also rented kayaks a few blocks away and spent another day exploring and snorkeling the areas around Captain Cook's Monument and the shorelines around the house. I hope this home is available again next year as we had a fantastic time!

ASU's Will Sutton returning for senior season
"It's been a long decision, it's been a hard decision, but my decision is that I'm going to stay and play another year at ASU," Sutton said Tuesday amid thunderous applause at his press conference.
Sutton, a junior from Centennial High School in Corona, California, had a dominant season in which he earned consensus All-American honors, becoming the 18th player in ASU history to do so.
Sutton was unblockable throughout most of the season, finishing with 63 tackles, 23.5 for loss and 13 sacks. He capped off his campaign by wreaking havoc in Navy's backfield during ASU's decisive 62-28 win at the Kraft Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco December 29. Sutton finished with 3.5 tackles for loss, 2.5 sacks and took home the game's Most Outstanding Defensive Player award.
The junior didn't pinpoint just one factor that helped him arrive at his decision.
"It was a lot of things, there was a lot of pros and cons, but some of the main the things were coming back, winning a championship, doing it for my teammates and getting my education," Sutton said.
Getting Sutton back in 2013 is a huge coup for Arizona State head coach Todd Graham. In fact, Sutton's return, along with fellow defensive playmakers Carl Bradford, Chris Young and Osahon Irabor could have the Sun Devils at or near the top of the Pac-12 South in most projections.
"He's the best defensive lineman I've ever coached and one of the best defensive players I've ever coached," Graham said. "I think it speaks volumes about his commitment to our team. I do think his teammates had a lot to do with that decision."
With the decision to return now behind him, Sutton was asked "what's next?"
"I've got class at six o'clock," he joked.

Letters to the Editor
Carl Owen
Finally, a Republican who speaks the truth. In the article "Drug-testing for dollars" (News, Feb. 29, Oklahoma Gazette), when asked if we test [Temporary Assistance for Needy Families] applicants for drugs, why shouldn't business owners applying for state incentives be drug tested as well, Republican Rep. Guy Liebmann replied, "If he hired somebody or brought in five more jobs, should we drug test him? He's done the state a favor, putting them on the payroll and they're going to pay taxes and use the local shops and eat out and so forth."

Idiopathic nonerosive polyarthritis is the most common form of IMPA and represents 58% to 83% of all reported cases of IMPA.1,5,8,9 Idiopathic nonerosive polyarthritis has been classified into four subtypes depending on the presence of distant infection,
gastrointestinal disease, or neoplasia (Table 1). The relevance of associated disease in canine IMPA is unknown, but similar associations are recognized in people and are
thought to have pathogenic significance by acting as a trigger for IMPA.15 Idiopathic types II, III, and IV are also referred to as reactive IMPA by some authors.2,8
Idiopathic type I IMPA is not associated with distant disease and accounts for most idiopathic nonerosive IMPA cases reported
in dogs.5,7,8,15 Idiopathic type II IMPA is associated with infectious or chronic inflammatory disease and has been reported with pyoderma,
urinary tract infection, pneumonia, endocarditis, mastitis, dirofilariasis, fungal infection, pleuritis, and severe periodontal
disease.1,5,8,15 Idiopathic type III IMPA is associated with chronic gastrointestinal disease and has been reported with inflammatory bowel
disease, intestinal malabsorption, bacterial overgrowth, and ulcerative colitis.1,5,8,15 Idiopathic type IV IMPA is associated with distant neoplasia and has been reported with squamous cell carcinoma, mammary
adenocarcinoma, leiomyoma, heart base tumor, and seminoma.1,5,8,15
SLE polyarthritis
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a progressive multiorgan autoimmune disease in which polyarthritis is one of the most
frequently observed clinical findings. SLE preferentially afflicts male German shepherds and other medium- and large-breed
dogs; it is diagnosed at a mean age of 5 years.1,6,11-13,16,17
Clinical signs of SLE can be intermittent and include polyarthritis, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, glomerulonephritis,
polymyositis, skin lesions, fever of unknown origin, oral ulceration, and lymphadenopathy (Table 2).
The treatment of SLE polyarthritis is similar to the treatment of idiopathic forms and requires administering immunosuppressive
and immunomodulating medications. If other organ systems are involved, treatment must also address other clinical signs. Remission
is attainable with treatment and may also occur spontaneously.6,13 The prognosis of SLE is variable, and concurrent organ dysfunction is often responsible for death or euthanasia.
Polyarthritis-meningitis syndrome
A syndrome in which steroid-responsive meningitis arteritis (SRMA) occurs with polyarthritis has been described.1,6,10,16 It was first seen in Bernese Mountain dogs, Weimaraners, and German shorthaired pointers but has since been documented in
many breeds.10 In one study, 29% of dogs with IMPA had associated spinal pain, and, of those, nearly 50% were confirmed to have concurrent
SRMA by cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis.10
Dogs with polyarthritis-meningitis syndrome are suspected to have spinal pain due to a combination of meningeal and intervertebral
joint inflammation.10
Polyarthritis-meningitis syndrome occurs in young, male, medium- to large-breed dogs, and clinical signs include lethargy,
reluctance to walk, and cervical pain, particularly on flexion and extension of the neck.1,6,10 Effusion involving appendicular joints may not be obvious.6
The treatment of SRMA and IMPA is similar, but the syndrome is important to recognize since recurrence or neurologic damage
may occur if it is treated inappropriately.10,19 Most dogs with SRMA respond to immunosuppressive therapy with a good to guarded prognosis. It is not known whether dogs
with both IMPA and SRMA have a different prognosis than dogs with SRMA alone.10
