You often hear about the first babies born into a new year, but FOX 26 News also has a unique look at the family who welcomed one of the last babies of 2012 in Houston. It was fun to talk to the parents about their exciting arrival, but also to discuss some of the perks that come with a baby at the end of the year, rather than the start of the year.
FOX 26 caught up with the Page family at Texas Children's Pavilion for Women. Nicole and Kevin Page couldn't be happier with their new bouncing, baby boy Declan.
"We really wanted a healthy baby, but I wanted a 2012 baby. His siblings were born several weeks early, so I was sure he was going to be here for Christmas, and I was so disappointed, because he had other plans, and we thought - he's not coming 'til January," says Nicole. That didn't end up being the case.
Nicole's son ended up making it into this world only hours before the new year. Nicole and Kevin say they think it's special that the world will be celebrating on every one of their son's birthdays.
"You always here of the New Year's babies and all the accolades they get, but it's kinda fun to have a New Year's Eve baby too. It's a celebration time and a fun day," says proud father Kevin.
"I think it will be fun because everyone will be in the mood to celebrate! It's funny, because his grandmother's birthday is New Year's Day, so one will ring out the year and the other will ring in the new year," says a smiling Nicole.
Declan also has an older brother and sister to help him celebrate. Their parents laugh about the first few minutes they got to meet their new brother.
"Declan was crying and my son, who's almost 4, covered his ears and said, 'What do we do?' It was an emergency! It's the question from parents around the world and we don't know the answer, ha ha, but they are excited," exclaims Declan's parents.
An added bonus for Declan's timing involves finances in the form of a big tax break for an end-of-the year baby.
"A tax break is a nice bonus and we got him just in time for this year's deductible for insurance, yeah it's great, nice surprise," they tell FOX 26. For most couples, it adds up to be about $2,500. More than anything, the Kevin and Nicole Page say they're just relieved their baby is healthy, and they can't wait to get him home to enjoy the new dynamics of their family of five.
Certified Public Accountant Bob Martin says children born on December 2012 can bring the following immediate income tax benefits to parents:
- dependency exemption
- child tax credit
- favorable tax rate for single parents
Potential benefits in the years ahead for parents of December 2012 babies include dependent care credits, earned income tax credits and higher education tax benefits.

(Updated) State rep calls for Middlesex DA to resign over Remy case
Middlesex District Attorney Marian Ryan should resign after her office released Jared Remy on his own recognizance just a day before he allegedly killed his girlfriend, a state representative said.
Rep. Jim Lyons, a Republican from Andover, said Saturday that Ryan should resign her office and other politicians should demand she do so.
"Governor Patrick should demand the immediate resignation of his appointment Marian T. Ryan as Middlesex district attorney," Lyons said in a statement posted on his Facebook page. "The fact that the district attorney allowed Jared Remy back on the street after he assaulted Jennifer Martel is inexcusable. The system failed this women [sic] and her family."
Remy allegedly fatally stabbed his girlfriend, Martel, late Thursday night their Waltham home. He pleaded not guilty Friday.
Remy, the son of Red Sox broadcaster Jerry Remy, was also arrested Tuesday night for assault and battery, but was released on his own recognizance on Wednesday after discussions with the arresting officer and Martel, Ryan's office has said.
A spokeswoman for Ryan said that Lyons was trying to "politicize" the case.
"This is an unfortunate attempt to politicize a tragic situation. Our focus is on prosecuting the person responsible for killing Jennifer and seeking justice for her and her family," said MaryBeth Long, Ryan's spokeswoman.
Jerry Remy issued a statement Saturday through his Twitter page.

Volcanic Ash Does Not Impair ORBIS Vision
Blog submitted by Lynn Donovan.
The April 2010 Volcano Eruption in Iceland had a massive effect on world travel. It essentially held people captive wherever they were in their travels for approximately 10 days. During this time, ORBIS had Hospital Based Programs scheduled in Africa, and China. I would like to share my story of the effect it had on the staff involved in the Kampala, Uganda Program.
On Saturday, April 10, 2010 Dr Grace Prakalapakorn, and I traveled
It was then discovered that Dr Bernadette Martinez was delayed on travel for the program and was still in China trying to reschedule flights to arrive in Kampala. Dr Gordon Douglas, the Volunteer Faculty Surgeon for the Kampala program, was delayed as well, as he had also been re routed. Both Dr Bernadette and Dr Douglas were to arrive Monday, the first day of the program- screening day, but in the afternoon and evening respectively.
After many e mails with our
Medical Director, Dr
When Monday evening came around
Dr Douglas and Dr Bernadette had both safely arrived in
ORBIS was able to provide much needed services even when a natural disaster had occurred, and once again through teamwork and determination to achieve the ORBIS mission and goals of "saving sight worldwide."

ELWOOD, Ind. —
The Elwood Community Schools board unanimously voted in Timothy Smith as its new superintendent Thursday evening.
Smith comes from Southside Special Services in Marion County, a special education cooperative on the south side of Indianapolis, where he's served as assistant director for four years.
Prior to Southside, he spent 14 years in high school administration and eight years as a teacher in business, social studies and special education.
He said he saw Elwood's "need for commitment and longtime dedication" and felt the corporation fit his skill set.
"I'm drawn to working with smaller community needs," he said.
Smith added that the district's initiatives are "on target" for what is best for the students and that he's "excited to dig in and go."
The board's vote was held during its monthly meeting at the district's administrative office, 1306 N. Anderson St., with about 20 in attendance.
Interim Superintendent Tom Austin, who stepped in for Glen Nelson and had served as superintendent before him, personally recommended Smith.
He came across Smith in a superintendent search for another district and said he came highly recommended. The company Austin works for, Administrator Assistance, uses a network of retired school administrators to assist school corporations through transitioning periods.
"I'm pleased for him and pleased for the district," Austin said. "I think he'll be a good match."
Vice President Stephanie Hoel said the board had narrowed the search to four and that Smith fit the bill.
"He just has that drive and a fire in his belly to do good things for Elwood," she said.
Smith will begin his new role July 1. In the personnel action that voted him in, the board also accepted Director of Special Services Jan Kaye's retirement.
Austin said he and Kaye "go back a long time" and that it was "with a truly heavy heart" he asked the board to accept her retirement.
Elementary Principal Bev Groover also publicly announced preliminary IREAD scores. Elwood Elementary third-graders had an 86 percent pass rate with an increase of 1 percent.
The kids who didn't pass will have a chance to retake the test in the summer. If they don't pass that, they'll be retained in the third grade.

Is Microsoft engaging in digital imperialism?
Windows, the common carrier of Microsoft, is such a sordid mess that it suffers regular glitches and conducts mass surveillance on users. Microsoft knows that without Windows it cannot survive, so dirty tricks resume in a very big way. This is not a beep on the radar but somewhat of a surge. Nothing is going to change in Munich, but Microsoft is trying to maintain an international/universal perception that the migration to GNU/Linux was a disaster. Numerous anonymous blogs were created to attack Munich over this and provocateurs of Microsoft loved citing them, only to be repeatedly proven wrong. Microsoft is trying to make an example out of Munich in all sorts of nefarious ways. We need to defend Munich from this malicious assault by the convicted monopolist and corrupt enterprise that's acting as though it fights for its very survival (while indeed laying off tens of thousands of employees).
Shortlist of open source software used at NASA lab
Yes! We use a lot of open source. The short list includes Python, GitHub, Processing, VLC, jQuery, D3.js, Blender, VRUI, ImageJ, VMD, ParaView, MeshLab, VNC, ImageMagick, SWIG, Emacs, and many more. We like using open source because it gives us more flexibility because of licensing and allows us the opportunity to contribute back to the community using our expertise. Our favorite open source project that we work on is OpenMDAO. This project is run out of another Division at our Center. Our team provides some programming support. OpenMDAO is an open source Multidisciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization (MDAO) framework, written in Python. You can use it to develop an integrated analysis and design environment for your engineering challenges.
GSoC: Thumping the Malaria and voyaging in cosmos with KStars
Let's talk about my project now. KStars is desktop planetarium application under KDE Education Projects. I developed QML based cool interface to enable users to browse through image database of community of astrophotographers (i.e. astrobin.com) which contains more than 1,20,000 (number is increasing everyday) real time and very high resolution images along with various information related to them (i.e. Date on which image was captured, Bortle Dark-Sky Scale, RA Centre, DEC Centre, Telescope or Camera used, Description added by astrophotographer etc). I am sure that this browser will enthrall school children by showing them real time images of stars and galaxies located at hundreds of light year far from earth.
Meet Cornelius Schumacher - Akademy Keynote Speaker
At Akademy 2014, outgoing KDE e.V. Board President Cornelius Schumacher will give the community keynote. He has attended every Akademy and has been amazed and inspired at every one of them. If you want more of what KDE can bring to your life, Cornelius's talk is the perfect elixir. Here are glimpses of Cornelius that most of us have never seen. They give a sense of what has made him a successful leader of KDE for several years.

If your atheism is based on reason and evidence, then what sort of evidence or arguments would it take to get you to change your mind? What would it take for you to stop being an atheist and start believing in God?
Atheists are frequently asked what it would take for them to finally believe in the existence of some god. That's a difficult question to answer because "god" can mean so many different things. An atheist's first response should thus be to ask what the theist means by "god." That doesn't end the problem, though, because if we are talking about the traditional omnipotent, omniscient god, there doesn't seem to be any evidence that could rationally justify belief.
The first thing that needs to be understood is that any effort to rationally justify theism must focus on some god in particular, not "god" in general. You can't "prove" theism because "theism" is a mostly-empty concept. Theism is the belief in at least one sort of god. There is no proof of theism that isn't a proof of some specific god or gods. In order to prove theism, you have to have in mind some set of characteristics of some type of god.
It's ironic that whenever those characteristics are taken into account, apologists often begin a quick retreat in to a vague theism which may be immune to critiques, but is intellectually uninteresting. Theists asking atheists what it would take to believe cannot do this; instead, they must specify what sort of god they have in mind and then ask what it would take for an atheist to believe in that god in particular.
A further, though minor, complicating factor is how the nature of the proof is entirely dependent upon the nature of the claim. If someone claims to have certain evidence of the existence of their god, then they have set the bar pretty high for themselves. If someone merely claims that belief in their god is reasonable — but not necessarily mandated — by the available evidence, then they may not have a tough job to do. So a theist asking what it would take for an atheist to believe should also specify what sort of belief they have in mind: the belief that some particular god definitely exists, or merely that some sort of god probably exists.
Unfortunately for most theists, the sort of god they have in mind is one which no set of evidence could reasonably justify believing that it even probably exists, much less definitely exists. The problem lies with the extreme nature of the characteristics attributed to their god: omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent, etc. What sorts of events could possibly point to the existence of an omnipotent or omniscient god? There are obviously events which theists typically focus on, like the creation of the universe or particular miracles found in the Bible, but none of these clearly require an omnipotent or omniscient god.
Even the creation of all existence would at most only require accepting the existence of a very, very powerful being — and even then, only at the time of creation. Nothing about such an event necessitates belief in an omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent, or even currently existing being. The same is also obviously true if we consider far lesser events like turning water into wine, rising from the dead, or even arranging the stars into a message directed specifically at us.
Indeed, it isn't even necessary to have the power to accomplish such actions — all that's necessary is the power to manipulate our brains into thinking that the events occurred. The power required for that isn't anywhere remotely close to the infinite, all-encompassing power typically attributed to the gods which believers say exist. The problem isn't that believers are setting their sights too low with respect to the miracles they are looking at, but rather that there simply isn't any event that would necessarily require something like omniscience or omnipotence to explain it.
Theists have defined their gods in a manner that is simply too extreme to justify on any evidential basis — a manner that virtually ensures that no set off evidence could ever be counted in favor of its existence. Even worse, it's not clear that they even realize this.
Theists who ask what kinds of proof are required to defend their position seem to me to be missing the point: if they have to ask, that suggests that they haven't given the matter much thought already. This is true even if we set aside the fact that there is no evidence that could be presented in favor of their beliefs. If we accept, for the sake of argument, that such evidence does exist then there is still something wrong if theists themselves haven't thought about the matter enough to have already come up with the appropriate evidence.
Who accepts the truth of a proposition without already having a good idea what kinds of support are required for such acceptance? When scientists propose the existence of something — a new particle or force — they also try to provide tests that would provide evidence for or against their theory. They have an idea of what sorts of facts would either count in favor of their ideas or count against them. This isn't a specialization unique to science, but should instead be treated as a minimum expectation from anyone claiming that something exists or is true. Even if they don't have the evidence in hand, they should have some idea of what the evidence would be or look like. Otherwise, we cannot reasonably credit them with having a rational, justified belief.
Finally, we should consider the fact that this question is sometimes asked with an eye towards showing that atheists have no idea what might get them to change their minds and, therefore, don't really have a rational, reasoned position after all. This same critique can be turned back around towards religious theists, though. How many of them have an idea of what it would take to get them to stop believing in their god? If they have no idea what would falsify their belief, then is their position genuinely rational or well-reasoned?

Does transitioning to virtualization increase security risks within a company? IT managers appear to be at loggerheads with IT security professionals over that question, even while sharing similar opinions on where risks might lie, according to a new survey.
The 2009 Security Mega Trends Survey from research firm Ponemon Institute -- which also looked at attitudes on other topics, such as outsourcing and Web 2.0 technologies -- shows roughly two-thirds of IT operations staff who responded said they felt virtualization of computer resources did not increase information-security risks. But about two-thirds of information security professionals surveyed felt the opposite way.
[ Find out more about virtualization's secret security threats. And learn how to secure your systems with Roger Grimes' Security Adviser blog and newsletter, both from InfoWorld. ]
A full three-quarters of the survey's 1,402 respondents, all active in U.S.-based private sector firms or government agencies, said their organizations had already implemented virtualization of their computer resources, with about 90 percent in both the IT and security camps saying they were "familiar" or "very familiar" with virtualization.
The survey reflects the often upbeat attitudes about virtualization expressed by experienced IT pros about how the technology, most commonly that of VMware, Microsoft, and Citrix Xen, is bringing them the benefit of server consolidation.
But, there's a far more skeptical view of virtualization security often expressed by seasoned IT security pros, who harbor doubts that vendors on the virtualization front have really sorted out or addressed the risks associated with the underlying hypervisor transformation.
"The security for the virtualization itself is way, way behind," says Nelson Martinez, systems support manager for the City of Miami Beach, who is responsible for IT security in systems used by the city's 2,000 employees. Martinez says the city does make use of VMware for some Web servers, but "I would never host any kind of database or my e-mail server in that environment." There are performance and maintenance issues in running traditional security applications for each VM host application on each physical machine, while the industry still seems to be sorting out the security role the hypervisor can play, Martinez notes.
Jim Waggoner, director of product management at Symantec, says the three primary virtual-machine software providers, VMware, Citrix Xen, and Microsoft, are each still working on new approaches to security in a VM environment that aren't yet out and available.

An elderly Sammamish couple called police on Friday, April 13, to report that they had been victims of a nearly $90,000 fraud scam, perpetrated over the course of five days. The couple, both around 80 years old, were contacted by a young man who they told police "sounded just like their grandson" and defrauded over the course of five days, discovering the scam when their actual grandson called them on Friday.
It was a phone fraud that has become increasingly common in Washington state, including cases in Gig Harbor, and is often referred to as the "grandchild scam." The Washington State Attorney General's Office advises people to consider any request for a wire transfer invariably a fraudulent scheme and to be suspicious any time you're asked to send money quickly—and secretly.
Sammamish police say the couple had received a phone call from someone purporting to be their grandson who lives in the area. He told them he was in Georgia and claimed he was in desperate need after being arrested for a vehicle accident there, and begging them not to tell his parents about the trouble he was in. The next day, another man called, claiming he was the young man's attorney, and convincing the couple to wire a total of more than $6,000 to a person in Arima, Trinidad for attorney fees, court fees, and damages.
The couple received yet another call next day, April 11, from the "attorney," who told them more money was required because the victim of the accident had a broken femur and insurance would not cover all of the medical costs. Later that day, furthering the scam, a woman called claiming to be the prosecuting attorney in the case. During the course of this, the couple was urged not to tell the boys parents about any of this, and they told Sammamish police they had been very deeply troubled about the tight spot their grandson was in. The couple made subsequent wire transfers for $5,750 and $77,500 for medical expenses and bail, respectively, with the help of their broker, but without giving the broker any details about why they needed to transfer the money.
Finally, on April 13, the supposed attorney called the couple again, claiming that the victim in the accident had had a miscarriage and was demanding $500,000 in damages. At that point, the couple told him that the "cookie jar was empty" and urged that the grandson tell his parents so they could help him decide what to do. The man then asked the couple specific questions about the boy's uncle, indicating that he was going to call him for money next.
The couple finally realized they were being scammed when their actual grandson called simply to find out if they would like their lawn mowed on Saturday. The couple called their broker to see if they could freeze the account and get a return wire transfer, and they reported the fraud to the FBI.
At this time the suspects have not been identified, but Sammamish Police have some leads and have been in contact with law enforcement in Houston and Los Angeles regarding those leads, said Sergeant Jessica Sullivan. She said they hope to get a federal agency such as the FBI involved.

Anyway, the unnecessary slang obfuscates what I want to write about: Miracle at St. Anna will have its world premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival in early September. The other big get Toronto announced yesterday is the world premiere of Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist, the indie kid romantic comedy starring Michael Cera. I'm much more excited about that one, to be honest. Prestige war movies are a dime a dozen; Michael Cera playing "a member of the queercore band 'The Jerk Offs'" is something special.
Also announced: Kathryn Bigelow's Iraq actioner The Hurt Locker, a drama called Disgrace with John Malkovich, and a few others. This is in addition to the 27 films announced last week.
This will be my first year attending Toronto (back-to-back with Telluride, where I've gone four times now), so needless to say I am aquiver with anticipation.

im a boy but i just want to know that id it necessary for women to wear hijab,abaya and to cover their face if it is necessary what if someone does not do it what is the punishment?
Yes, it is necessary for a woman to wear hijab.
As for what is the punishment, why should it matter what the punishment is? It is a muslim's duty to obey Allah, no matter what the command.
Do you suppose it pleases Allah subhannah wa ta'ala when we choose which of His commands to obey based on the punishment we will receive?
Please brother, encourage your sisters to wear hijab.
Islamic Libas have been very busy trying to bring their BEST collection yet "Satin Collection" as arrived for special occasions. Every sister who has laid her eyes and hands on one has happily purchased them masha'Allah. The satin has a crinkle built in and it light and perfect for the warm weather. Its extremely comfortable and can be easily accessorised and transformed into a priceless piece for a special occasion and guess what you not had to spend an arm and leg to achieve.

yes my hubby likes me sometimes with hijab on but he also likes me dolled up in short skirt because im white and he is the dominant one his mum sez I must obay him.

Must I stop for that school bus?
The Indiana State Police would like to remind motorists of Indiana laws concerning school buses, flashing lights and stop arms.
When approaching a school bus, from any direction, which is stopped with its flashing red lights activated and its stop arm extended, motorists are required to stop, even on multiple lane highways, with the only exception being — Motorists who are on a highway that is divided by a barrier or unimproved median are required to stop only if they are traveling the same direction as the school bus. If there is no unimproved median or barrier, then all lanes in all directions must stop.
Remember, when approaching a school bus be prepared to stop and watch for slowed or stopped traffic.
Disregarding a school bus stop arm is a serious violation and one that school bus drivers are quick to report. Violation of this law is a Class A infraction and is punishable by a maximum fine of $10,000.

A Clayton County parent faces up to one year in jail for allegedly using profanity in front of students at a school. Rosemary Wright is outraged. She says a school administrator at McGarrah Elementary called the police on her and she now faces a disorderly conduct charge for allegedly cursing about the dismissal of Candace, her then-10-year-old daughter.Wright points to the school's surveillance video, which shows her walk into the school at 2:22 p.m. -- 7 minutes after the school's dismissal time. Wright said that she signed her daughter out and then the assistant principal called her over."She felt that I had come into the school for an early dismissal for Candace," said Wright. "She's basically telling me about early checkout. She's not stating what the procedure is after 2:20 p.m."According to a Clayton County school incident report, the assistant principal called police. She told the officer that Wright did not follow proper procedure for dismissal and used profane language in front of her daughter and other students. At a magistrate court hearing, a judge issued a misdemeanor arrest warrant for Wright for obscene language. But the mom of three says the educators concocted the story and are trying to railroad her." I don't know why she's saying that I used profanity. No staff member in the office heard me say, 'This is [expletive]," said Wright. "I don't expect educators to commit fraud in order to have a parent prosecuted."
A hearing on the matter is set for next week, while Wright's trial is next month.

October through early November is the best time to plant perennials in South Texas. This is also the time to review and clean your last year's perennial beds. Decide how well they did for you this past year and what you may want to change. Love butterflies? If you enjoy butterflies, start looking for the caterpillars in early Fall. Let them feed to their heart's content in your garden. Your plants will recover. Remember not to spray any of your Butterfly Bushes with pesticides. If you have Butterfly Weed planted, you should begin seeing the Monarch butterflies coming back through on their way to Mexico.

Alfresco expands beyond ECM, productizes open source BPM Activiti, targets hybrid BPMaaS
By Carl Lehmann, 451 Research, 16 April 2014
Excerpt: Alfresco is about to make available as a stand-alone product the technology it uses to drive the workflow and business process orchestration in its enterprise content management (ECM) offerings. It is designed to address pent-up market demand among its customer base, monetize the Activiti open source community and transition Alfresco and its offerings toward a hybrid cloud platform of business process management (BPM) services.

Alfresco targets new markets and says slow farewell to ECM
By Alan Pelz-Sharpe, 451 Research, 9 December 2013
Excerpt: Alfresco has deep ECM roots and represents by far the largest and most successful open source alternative in the market sector. But as Alfresco continues to mature, and look for more substantial growth in its future, it is making the sensible decision to 'verticalize' its offerings and play in the broader (and much larger) business-applications sector. We believe this is an important move, and one that others are likely to follow.

Alfresco's acquisition of WeWebU strengthens its IPO readiness
By Alan Pelz-Sharpe, 451 Research, 6 February 2013
Excerpt: Alfresco inks its first acquisition and starts to fill out its enterprise product offering as it prepares for a future IPO. WeWebU offers a configurable application platform that layers on top of enterprise content management (ECM) systems to leverage functionality and repository services.

Alfresco Tackles the 'Dropbox Problem' with Hybrid Cloud Subscription Service
By Alan Pelz-Sharpe, 451 Research, 28 September 2012
Excerpt: Alfresco claims, with justification, to be one of the world's most successful open source projects. In just seven years, it has gone from being a scrappy start-up to regularly competing – and winning – against IBM, Oracle and EMC in the enterprise content management (ECM) sector. The ECM market is now being flooded by a new wave of well-funded cloud-based start-ups. In response, Alfresco is attempting to take first-mover advantage by offering a hybrid cloud subscription service.

Open Source Content Management Goes to the Cloud: Alfresco Launches Cloud Service
By Kathleen Reidy, 451 Research, 15 February 2012
Excerpt: It's no surprise to see Alfresco launching a cloud-based service for file sharing (who isn't?). However, Alfresco could be a particularly interesting player in this sector if it is able to get the ease-of-use requirements in the cloud file-sharing realm right to attract business users while supporting more advanced and sophisticated doc-enabled apps. It also has its traditional business of supporting customized on-premises deployments, and its plan to provide policy-driven and automated sync between on-premises and the cloud could be particularly attractive to larger organizations. Large enterprises are interested in hybrid scenarios, with the cloud supporting some content management use cases, but not all. Alfresco's strategy could appeal to enterprises that don't want to choose between cloud-only providers and traditional ECM.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.
You won't be able to dismiss this by usual means (escape or click button), but you can close it programatically based on user choices or actions.
"We ordered this invitation and RSVP card in Almond with a solid almond back on the matte white stock, and could not be more pleased with the decision! The design is so lovely, just perfect for my daughter's outdoor garden-style wedding. It has just the right soft, vintage feel we were looking for. The paper quality is excellent, they look and feel great. The design review process is extremely helpful - our reviewer made a couple of changes that improved what we had submitted - and the turnaround was incredibly fast. The final product was exactly what we expected and were hoping for ... no complaints or disappointment whatsoever. We highly recommend this product!"
"I cannot count how many people loved his invitation and asked where we got it. Pictures fit in well and design was perfect for our simple but fun wedding!"
"I was torn trying to decide between all the different designs. I finally settled on this one in the darker tones for a fall wedding. They are absolutely stunning and I would highly recommend getting the pearlized feature. It gives it that extra bit of "fancy" for being a more informal invitation. The designer even helped me add my parent's names to this invitation when I thought there wouldn't be any room."
"The invitation's appearance is dainty, graceful, and elegant. Nature's design that borders the photo enhances its beautiful, delicate look. The font is stylish, easy to read, and polishes the attractive design. Prompt delivery is impressive."
"Unique look of chalk on black can be perfect for certain wedding themes. The contrast of color (we chose plum/purple) is stunning and adds dimension to invitation's appearance. Whimsical swirl to font matches the product's design, but it may be harder to some people to read. Prompt delivery was impressive!"

Janitors more likely to catch the flu
A recent survey has shown that those in the cleaning industry are more likely to catch the flu than any other job.
SEATTLE — A recent survey has shown that those in the cleaning industry are more likely to catch the flu than any other workforce, according to KUOW-FM.
While it would seem as though healthcare workers and teachers are more likely to succumb to influenza, a new report published in the scientific journal PLOS ONE claims that janitors and other custodial professionals are more vulnerable to the virus, the article stated.
According to the article, Naomi Anderson, an epidemiologist with the state Department of Labor and Industries, who co-authored the study with the University of Washington, said, "The reason janitors are more prone to the flu is that they clean areas and objects that often harbor bacteria."
"They're cleaning up after us, disinfecting surfaces and touching things that are touched a lot like doorknobs and handling materials and other things that could be contaminated," Anderson concluded.
Sergio Salinas, president of the Service Employees International Union Local 6 (SEIU6), says his members have access to healthcare and are able to get flu shots, but part of the problem is that some janitors don't have the right chemicals and equipment or the proper personal protective equipment (PPE) to do their jobs correctly, the article noted.

|Ice conditions ideal on most lakes here
By George Langley
Continued cold weather and little snow have made for almost perfect ice conditions for North Woods ice anglers at this point.
Anglers are driving on almost all lakes in the area and thus are able to get out there without snowmobiles or ATVs. With trucks on the ice, shacks aren't needed to stay warm. These are the best conditions we have seen in many years, with ice from 12 to almost 20 inches on some lakes.There also is very little slush on the lakes, so that makes

And I recall seeing an electric young pitcher, Kerry Wood,
when he was the ripe old age of 19. He had yet to set foot in a major
league stadium when we watched him pitch in an instructional league
game in Arizona. Nevertheless, that didn't stop me and everyone else
from realizing that he was a man among boys. Years later, he would set
the record for most strikeouts in a game. He just had something that
made his blank sheet of experience rise to the top of a pile of
bullet-point-riddled résumés.
I think Theo and Jed will come to a conclusion by the end Spring Training on how likely they think the team is to contend...at one end of the spectrum if they get two TOR pitchers over the winter then they will go the rest of the way "all in" for next year and Bryant is with the Cubs from day one and burns a year of control...if they strike out over the winter and wind up with EJax-Arietta-Hendricks-Turner-Wood as the starting rotation then Bryant goes down long enough to delay his clock.
If he tears up spring training, pretty sure he'll start with the team, if he falters a bit, they'll send him down until needed.
Maybe the $6.7 million signing bonus should have been your first clue it is a business. I try not to begrudge any player trying to maximize their earnings but please don't publicly gripe or feign ignorance about the consequences of trying to earn your extra millions.
No, no, his brother can't hit and chew gum at the same time...
Screw Bryant- Any Boras client whining about the business of baseball is the height of irony. The Cubs have proved (failed Samardzija extension) that they aren't interested in getting raped by agents looking to fleece the organization. Good. Keep playing hardball.
Old Bourbon Phil Rogers.
Between Phil and Jesse I would pick Fred on baseball reporting.
That's the spirit kid.
Now sign this 10 year club friendly contract or we will try this again spring training 2016.
2B, 1b, then "With Kevin Cron batting, missed catch error by Alex Tomasovich on the pickoff attempt, Taylor Ratliff scores. Steve Nyisztor to 2nd."
So 1-0 Hillsboro through 2 innings. Stinnett struck out 5 of the next 6 batters after the hits and run scored.
Exactly what I meant.
left ankle sprain for Castro, ruled out a break, MRI tomorrow...
Bryant less than thrilled about not being called up...as it should be.
when teams give the cubs 6 outs in an inning they seem to do well with it.
another epic D brewers outing.
I can't speak for Ryno but my interpretation of his post was that he was wondering if Baez would be their only prospect if Hendry was around, and if he thinks that, he's probably right.
Not to be a downer, but I remember C-Patt walking off the field of his own power after a knee injury that ended his 2003 season.
Why are all of your hopes on one guy? The great thing about this team now is that there are a bunch of guys to look forward to.
Yeah. Coach I'm fine - just a flesh wound.
Honey, you can have that baby alone. Can't your sister help out?

Reminder about the FOX 4 Weathering The Storm Seminar @ Union Station's Extreme Theater on Saturday the 18th from 9AM to about Noon. A benefit for the Tornado Victims in MO/KS. 1st come...1st serve, tickets are free but we're asking for a $5 donation to Project Storm Relief. Speakers include Chris Novy (SKYWARN Spotting), Andy Bailey from the NWS and Reed Timmer (Stormchasers show on Discovery Network). Others are planned. Love to see you out there!
Weatherwise...storms/showers have been percolating across the N MO area and parts of NE KS all morning...weakening now...as the atmosphere, especially to the N/NE and NW of KC starts to slowly reload. There is a boundary separating the cool air 50s-70s and the hotter more oppressive air 80s-90s snaking to the N/NW of KC. The higher chances of storms (potentially severe) still looks to be NE KS and N MO...especially along and north of 36 highway. We'll need to watch those storms this evening and overnight as they may tug some of the cooler air farther and faster southwards. Regardless that cooler air will make it here tomorrow and last through the weekend. 70s are possible SAT/SUN with the potential of 60s(!) on SUN should we have a decent t/storm complex move through during the day.
Click on that image to make it larger.
The SPC has put areas from KC northwards under a slight risk of severe weather. The areas farthest to the N/NW should have a somewhat heightened chance of some rotating storms that would have a higher hail and potentially tornadic threat associated with them. At this point we're still focused on NW MO and NE/NC KS for that potential. Here are the SPC thoughts....
and there tornado potential...again somewhat elevated but the 5% means a 5% chance of a tornado report within 25 miles of a given point...something to watch for should the storms fire up before sunset.
The heat is a story here...but also back east where record highs have been tumbling like crazy. Today more record heat has been reported in Atlantic City, NJ (101), Newark, NJ (101), Wilmington, DE (97) and Baltimore (100). Yesterday there were some 300 records including some smaller communities. here are the reports from yesterday from the more major communities...

A credit card was mailed to a person from their financial institution. Not long after that, the card was being used.
The problem is, it wasn't being used by the card holder. A thief was holding that card.
Here's your chance to get your hands on some reward money in this week's WAFF 48 Crime Stoppers.
He's caught red-handed with a stolen credit card in those hands. The thief police say is using that card is seen on surveillance video at the Kroger on Hughes Road in Madison May 12th.
So how did this thief get his hands on the victim's card to begin with? The financial institution of the victim was supposed to mail that card to them. They never got it. It was either taken out of the mailbox or perhaps accidentally delivered to someone else.
Either way, a crime occurred.
They say pictures are worth a thousand words. Your anonymous words could make these pictures worth up to $1,000.
Do you know who this guy is? If so, we have three ways for you to turn him in.
You can make the anonymous call to 256-53-Crime.
Or you can text or e-mail your anonymous tips.
To see how to do that, click Crime Stoppers from our homepage, then the Huntsville Area Crime Stoppers link.
Again, there's a reward of up to a thousand dollars.

MOSCOW, Idaho – The Idaho women's basketball team dominated from start to finish in a 93-62 win over Eastern Oregon in its only exhibition game of the season on Friday night.
Several Vandal players turned in stellar performances, but none topped that of preseason first-team All-WAC junior Alyssa Charlston, who didn't miss a shot from the field, going 8-for-8 and finishing with game-highs of 21 points and seven rebounds, while adding an assist and a steal in 21 minutes of action.
But Charlston wasn't the only one doing damage for Idaho. Sophomore Stacey Barr and freshman Connie Ballestero each scored 12 points. Barr came off the bench and scored 10 of those points in the first half, going 4-for-6 from the field before the break. Ballestero did most of her damage in the second, scoring 10 of her 12 after the break, going 4-for-6 in the frame after a 1-for-7 performance in the first. Barr added five rebounds, four assists and a block for Idaho, while Ballestero also finished with two rebounds, two assists and two steals.
Sophomore point guard Krissy Karr had eight points, eight assists and two steals for Idaho, and made both of her 3-point attempts in 22 minutes of play. Freshmen Christina Salvatore and Ali Forde, and junior Ashley Walters each added eight points as well. Walters added seven rebounds and four blocks, and Forde had a game-high five blocks, and added six rebounds, three assists and three steals.
The Vandals jumped out to a 10-point lead early in the game as a three-point play from Barr put Idaho ahead 15-5 with just under 15 minutes to go in the half. The lead hovered around 10 points for the next six minutes until a 13-2 Idaho run put the Vandals ahead 39-19 with three minutes to go in the half, before the Vandals took a 46-26 lead into the break.
"I liked our start, I liked our first half," fifth-year coach Jon Newlee said. "We came out with a lot of energy and we were pushing the ball well."
The Wolves cut Idaho's lead to 12 early in the second half, opening the period on a 10-2 run that lasted just more than two minutes. But the Vandals responded with a 12-3 run to pull ahead 60-39, and would lead by more than 20 points the rest of the way. Idaho's largest lead was 33 points, coming with 13 seconds to go when redshirt-freshman Natalie Lainhart's 3-pointer put the Vandals ahead 93-60.
"The second half started a little raggedy, but once it got rolling I was happy with the effort," Newlee said. "The intensity was up. It's the first exhibition game, so your execution is not going to be anywhere near where you want it, but overall I like the fact that everybody came in and contributed in one way or another."
Lainhart finished with seven points, all in the second half, on 3-of-3 shooting. She also added two blocks in the game.
"You can see we have the depth to rotate people in when they get tired, and we're going to try to keep things going as much as we can," Newlee said.
The Vandals shot 52.1 percent from the field, going 38-of-73 in the game, including a 10-for-21 (47.6 percent) performance from 3-point range. Idaho held a 44-36 advantage in rebounds and had 13 blocked shots. The Vandals also finished with 27 assists on 38 made baskets.
Idaho held EOU to a 34.3 field goal percentage, and forced 17 turnovers, which the Vandals converted into 18 points.
The Vandals get the regular season underway in exactly one week, as they visit Wyoming on Nov. 9 before playing at Colorado on Nov. 11. Idaho's home opener is Nov. 16 against Portland in Memorial Gym.
MOSCOW, Idaho – Central Washington scrapped and kept hanging around, but a late surge gave Idaho men's basketball the separation it needed in a 92-75 exhibition victory on Friday in front of 1,133 fans at Memorial Gym.
Four Vandals scored in double figures on the night, led by sophomore Connor Hill's 18 points on 5-of-9 shooting. Senior center Kyle Barone started the game, hit seven of his 11 shots and scored 16 points, while junior Stephen Madison added 16 and senior Wendell Faines scored 15.
After the game, Idaho head coach Don Verlin said Barone's suspension for a team rules violation is over and that Barone will be a full participant moving forward this season.
"He's done everything he's had to do," Verlin said of Barone. "He's gone through the legal system and now he's back on the team full-time and we're glad to have him back."
Idaho had a clear size advantage entering the game, and that edge became more apparent as the game wore on. The Vandals outscored the Wildcats by 20 in the paint, 48-28, and held a 44-31 rebounding margin. Idaho's four primary post players, Barone, Faines, junior Marcus Bell and freshman Ty Egbert, combined for 40 points on 16-of-23 (.696) shooting.
"I thought Ty Egbert came off the bench and showed some athleticism," Verlin said. "Marcus Bell rebounded the ball very well, and then we had four guys get in double figures, so I thought we did pretty well."
Bell finished with a game-high 12 rebounds, while Barone added eight and Faines had six.
At the guard spot, senior Mike McChristian scored eight points and dished up five assists with just two turnovers. Junior Stephen Madison had four assists in addition to his 15 points, while junior Denzel Douglas added two points and two assists.
The Vandal men shot 56.9 percent from the floor, including an 18-of-29 (.621) clip in the second half. Idaho also connected on five of its eight second-half 3-pointers and finished the game shooting 53.8 percent from long range.
Junior Mark McLaughlin led CWU with a game-high 28 points on 9-of-23 shooting, while Jordan Coby added 14 points on a 5-of-10 shooting day. Only two other Wildcat players scored more than six points in the game.
As a team, CWU shot 39.1 percent from the floor and 39.3 percent from 3-point range. The Wildcats stayed within striking distance by virtue of their 11 made 3-pointers and 22 points off Idaho's 16 turnovers in the game.
Using a smaller, quicker lineup, CWU put on a lot of pressure and earned several transition buckets, especially before halftime. Verlin said he was happy with the way the team adapted, but that those issues need to be closed down.
"They were hard to match up with in transition, Verlin said. "We did a lot better job in the second half of getting those transition spots stopped and then we didn't turn it over as much. In the second half, we adjusted to their smaller lineup and did better."
Idaho held two seven-point leads early in the game, but saw them dissipate quickly after CWU transition buckets. It wasn't until the 14:38 mark of the second half that Idaho started to pull away for good. A 13-0 run that started with a Hill 3-pointer and ended at 12:38 with a McChristian trey gave Idaho a 67-53 lead that dipped into single figures just three more times in the final 10 minutes.
"I got a group in there that quit making mistakes," Verlin said of the run. "We play along pretty good, then make three or four mistakes in a row – turn the ball over, wouldn't get in the right spot, missed a screen or missed a defensive assignment. What happened was we got a group for about six- or seven-minute span that played really solid."
With the exhibition season gone, the real games begin, starting in one week when the team hosts Wright State on Friday, Nov. 9, in its home opener at Memorial Gym and 7:05 p.m. (PT).
- Verlin said juniors Joe Kammerer and Robert Harris are nursing minor injuries and were held out of the game as a precautionary measure.
- Verlin said junior guard Antwan Scott returned home on Thursday because of an illness in his family. A timetable for his return is not yet known.
