About 1% of Americans stutter, with boys being 3 times more likely than girls to do so. Many people who stutter have a family history of the disorder.
The National Institutes of Health estimate that 42 million Americans, or one out of every 6 persons, have a communication disorder.

GOLDEN, Colo. (October 15, 2007) Patients have on average a 71 percent lower chance of dying at the nations top-rated hospitals compared with the lowest-rated hospitals across 18 procedures and conditions analyzed in the tenth annual HealthGrades Hospital Quality in America Study, issued today by HealthGrades, the healthcare ratings company. The study, which documents a wide variation in the quality of care between the highest-performing hospitals and all others, also found that if all hospitals performed at the level of hospitals rated with five stars by HealthGrades, 266,604 Medicare lives could potentially have been saved over the three years studied.
The HealthGrades study of patient outcomes at the nations approximately 5,000 hospitals, the most comprehensive annual study of its kind, covers more than 41 million Medicare hospitalization records over the years 2004 to 2006. The study examines procedures and conditions ranging from heart attack to pneumonia to valve-replacement surgery. Based on the study, HealthGrades today made available its 2008 quality ratings for virtually every hospital in the country at www.healthgrades.com, a Web site designed to help individuals research and compare local healthcare providers.
According to the study, mortality rates at Americas hospitals have improved 11.8 percent from 2004 to 2006, with the nations top-rated hospitals improving at a faster rate (12.8 percent) than the lowest rated hospitals (11.4 percent). Of the 18 procedures and conditions studied, those that saw the most improvement in mortality rates were pancreatitis (19.2 percent), pulmonary embolism (17.4 percent) and diabetic acidosis and coma (16.6 percent). Those with the smallest improvement were resection/replacement of the abdominal aorta (0.4 percent), coronary interventional procedures such as angioplasties and stents (0.8 percent) and treatment of heart attack (8.9 percent).

Don Walker offers news, notes and perspective on the sports business landscape
Want to sublet a Super Bowl ad?
The Weatherproof Garment Co., is shopping an idea that just might work.
Rather than shelling out $3 million or so for a 30-second ad on the Feb. 1 Super Bowl broadcast, the company wants to buy that time and sublet a portion of the time to other companies looking for a quick hit.
"The news that the Super Bowl hasn't sold an ad since September really struck a chord with us," said Freddie Stollmack, president of New York-based Weatherproof. "We've always taken a contrary attitude toward advertising; thinking that less is more. Not only is a 30-second ad cost prohibitive, especially in today's economy, but we feel strongly that we can accomplish our mission of reaching America's consumers within three seconds. We are confident that many other brands will agree."
A spokesman said NBC, which has the broadcast rights to the big game, hasn't said yes, or no. A final decision awaits.
In the meantime, Stollmack will gladly take your call.

Security Meltdown
Who is watching the people who are watching our nukes?
There have been a number of dramatic failures of the screening process in recent years:
Two months before his arrest, Wright was discovered to have stored an assault rifle, a pistol, and 1,000 rounds of ammunition in his barracks. Although he was demoted a rank, his PRP certification was not revoked. He was allowed to keep the weapons, which he subsequently used in the murder. The Army was so anxious to cover up the case, Wright says, that it granted him an honorable discharge and a Good Conduct Medal while he was in jail awaiting trial on charges of first-degree murder. His PRP certification was not revoked until January 1988, 11 months after his arrest.
After Metcalf's arrest, the Navy reviewed his PRP screening and declared that there was nothing that could have tipped off investigators to his potential for violence. However, a copy of the screening obtained by Mother Jones suggests a number of conspicuous warning signs.
During his PRP screening in 1986, Metcalf claimed that his mother was dead. When military investigators learned that she was still alive, Metcalf changed his story, saying that he had broken off relations with her due to a financial dispute. Although investigators traveled to Metcalf's hometown of Redfield, Arkansas, to interview a former neighbor, they did not interview his mother.
A former acquaintance told investigators that Metcalf had been questioned by police in the unsolved 1981 murder of his then-girlfriend, Rita Sanders. Metcalf denies any role in Sanders' death and says, "It was never brought up in any of my interviews. They never said anything about it." The Navy didn't even bother to contact the police in Oxnard, California, who considered Metcalf the prime suspect in the murder. (The case was eventually dropped for lack of evidence.) Meanwhile, according to his PRP file, Metcalf married a woman named Barbara Adsett four days after Sanders' murder. The couple divorced four months later and Adsett, claiming Metcalf had beaten her, obtained a restraining order to keep him away from her and her family.
During Metcalf's PRP screening, a number of his past acquaintances told the Navy that he was not trustworthy. William Hill, his former supervisor at a machine shop called C.E. Miller, told investigators that Metcalf stole $200,000 worth of tools and welding equipment from the firm. "Hill further advised that [Metcalf] likes material things and will do anything for money, and would be easily tempted to sell sensitive material," reads Metcalf's file. Another former co-worker from C.E. Miller told PRP screeners that Metcalf used amphetamines and had once appeared at his house with "a bundle of $10,000 in $100 bills." Yet another former acquaintance called Metcalf a "habitual liar," who "fantasizes continuously."
None of this stopped the Navy from approving Metcalf for PRP duty. Nor did later monitoring detect anything unreliable about Metcalf. His last performance evaluation, completed just months before the murder of the Sawyers, called him a "key member of the Strategic Fire Control Division," whose "outstanding technical abilities and 'can do' attitude have earned him the respect of all who work with him." An evaluation from a few years earlier was even more exuberant, calling Metcalf a model to be "emulated by all."
In a chilling videotaped interview conducted by the National Security News Service, Metcalf claimed that he was frequently left alone in the Fire Control Center aboard the Alaska, and talked about how easy it would have been to bypass safeguards and single-handedly launch a nuclear strike with the submarine's intercontinental ballistic missiles. "In the time it takes to get everyone in the response team together, someone who knows what they're doing could already be launching missiles.... One person is all it takes."
Skip Beard, a former commanding officer on a nuclear submarine and a technical consultant to the movie Crimson Tide, says Metcalf's scenario is nonsense. "The possibility of overriding [safeguards] is so remote as to not exist," he says. "He's blowing hot air." Still, the very fact that Metcalf spent an enormous amount of time theorizing a personal first strike is itself deeply disturbing. And Beard concedes that a PRP-certified worker aboard a ship could ignite the fuel or explosives in a missile by firing into it with a gun. "If that happened," he says, "everybody on the boat is dead."
A review of dozens of files of people who were decertified from PRP during the early 1990s, obtained under the Freedom of Information Act, also calls into question the "stable and dependable" nature of PRP personnel. One person was kicked out after being "overcome by a severe emotional disturbance which caused him to lose his ability to communicate.... He was subsequently diagnosed with having a personality disorder which is a deeply ingrained, maladaptive pattern of behavior." Another was decertified after "an alcohol-related incident at a local bar where he allegedly assaulted a civilian, who was hospitalized with severe head injuries." A third case involved a soldier who tried to suffocate his 12-day-old daughter when she wouldn't stop crying. Other PRP-approved personnel tried to commit suicide or were found guilty of crimes ranging from rape to burglary; one man was found drunk while on duty with a bottle of Jack Daniels concealed in his waistband.
Mother Jones learned of further problems with the program from two former PRP-certified men, both of whom are currently serving lengthy prison terms for offenses committed while they were still in the military. Both asked that their names not be used, but provided documentation to support their accounts. One, who served as a sonar technician on a nuclear missile submarine, was expelled from PRP when he tested positive for cocaine during a random drug test. He subsequently deserted and was later arrested for a spree of crimes ranging from bank robbery to methamphetamine use. He claims that abuses that should result in one's expulsion from PRP are frequently ignored by certifying officials. "Military men are prone to hard drinking, but this is routinely overlooked," he says. "I can tell you I never turned myself in, or any of my peers, for drinking binges."
The second person -- a Marine expelled from PRP in 1993 and now serving a 15-year prison term for indecent assault and sodomy -- guarded nuclear weapons at a naval base. He, too, claims that military officers overlooked problems such as heavy drinking or depression. In one case, he says, staff shortages were temporarily solved by having both a man who had been removed from PRP duty due to a medical problem and an uncertified administrative clerk called in to guard nuclear weapons. "Manpower [demand] at special weapons stations far exceeds the number of qualified Marine personnel," he says. "As a result, waivers are issued, faults are ignored, and unqualified people sit [at PRP] posts."
Col. Landis concedes that the system is not foolproof, noting that the overall decertification rate for PRP-approved personnel is 3 to 4 percent. "Like society, we're going to have people of all types in the services," he says. "We live in a violent environment." Landis admits that investigators sometimes fail to uncover all relevant information on a PRP candidate, but says that if damaging information is found, the person will not be certified. (Landis declined to comment on why Metcalf was granted PRP status, saying that he, Landis, was not working with the program at the time.) In general, says Landis, PRP is a "great program."
Critics are less sanguine. "They're not looking for problems, and every time you start looking you find problems," says a source with firsthand knowledge of PRP. Postcertification monitoring is also impeded by service members' reluctance to inform on erratic behavior by their peers. A 1992 report from the General Accounting Office to then-Defense Secretary Richard Cheney noted that such reporting "was rarely a factor in alerting supervisors to potential problems."
Stanford's Abrams recommends that the Pentagon strengthen PRP by requiring a physician to examine all candidates, using standardized psychological testing, and improving its postapproval monitoring procedures. Others say the entire program should be subject to tough independent scrutiny. The Department of Energy reviewed personnel problems at its nuclear weapons and research complexes, and published the findings in an April 2, 1993, report. In one case, an employee stole uranium oxide from one site in an apparent attempt to extort money from the federal government. In another, the DOE disclosed "several tampering incidents" at the Los Alamos National Laboratory's main plutonium facility, in which a worker or workers had loosened valves in a hydrogen feed line. If the tampering had gone undiscovered, says the report, possible consequences would have included "a fire-induced or explosion-induced release of plutonium and other radioactive or toxic material to both on-site and off-site environment."
Scott Sagan says there's no reason to believe that similar problems don't exist at the Pentagon's nuclear weapons operations. "Until the Defense Department makes public its recent records on PRP, the U.S. public won't know how grave the current risk is," he says.
The risk was illustrated dramatically in mid-September in the port city of Murmansk, Russia, when a Russian sailor wielding a machine gun single-handedly commandeered a nuclear submarine, and then fatally shot eight of his fellow crew members before turning the gun on himself. And while it might be only a coincidence, it's worth noting that the Pentagon has been helping the Russian military enhance its own personnel reliability system.

Lets say you create virtual machine protection and current conditions allow "Backup Using Child Partition Snapshot\<VM>" or in short; 'online' protection. Then you change the VM configuration and introduce one of the conditions that prohibit online protection (see below and http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff399205.aspx). At this point online protection (as the data source name suggests) will no longer happen. Instead 'Backup Using Saved State\<VM>' or 'offline' protection will occur but is not reflected in the data source name. Let's repeat this; if a VM configuration condition changes after protection was created, the data source name which is indicative for the type of protection may no longer reflect the actual type of protection! Online protection could become offline and vice-versa.
DPM does not depend on data source names (but your scripts could) and does not change these once protection is created. Therefore it is recommendable to fully configure a VM with the intended most usual set of conditions before creating protection for it.
Let's top-off repeating some details;
Online protection is not possible when;
Nice heads up. Spent a few days figuring that out myself recently.
Surely this behaviour (specifically DPM not updating data source names after they are created) is an issue to be addressed, and not by design?

Tennessee's governor Bill Haslam has said that a controversial bill that would prevent mention of homosexuality in Tennessee schools, dubbed the Don't Say Gay bill, has stalled and isn't going to pass.
Speaking to the The City Paper in an interview published Sunday, Haslam complained about the amount of media attention the bill got while other more positive education stories received little to no press, adding that while the bill might be "real sexy" it is going nowhere:
The governor complained that the media paid little attention to the appointment of the first superintendent of the Tennessee's Achievement Student District, an attempt to turn around the state's lowest-performing schools. At the same time, reporters closely watched the "Don't Say Gay" bill to ban the mention of homosexuality before the ninth grade in Tennessee's public schools.
"The 'Don't Say Gay' bill didn't pass and probably is never going to pass. At the same time, we hired Chris Barbic to run the Achievement School District, which is a huge deal. That got this much attention," the governor said, holding his fingers an inch apart. "'Don't Say Gay' got 100 articles. Well, something's wrong with that picture.
"'Don't Say Gay' is real sexy and yada yada yada. It's not going anywhere.'"
Senate Bill 49 and counterpart measure House Bill 229 sponsored by state Senator Stacey Campfield and Representative Bill Dunn respectively, both Republicans from Knoxville, prohibits "the teaching of or furnishing of materials on human sexuality other than heterosexuality in public school grades K-8."
The Senate passed the bill in a 20 to 10 vote in May. Added to SB49 was an amendment that would restrict the legislation's scope to only ban discussion of homosexuality in prepared materials and instruction.
Even though the Tennessee board of education has repeatedly said that such legislation isn't necessary due to the sate's "family orientated" curriculum, the Tennessee House was expected to follow the Senate's lead and take up the legislation. However, a vote never materialized. Legislator Bill Dunn said they would perhaps visit the legislation in 2012, but since then talk of the bill has been quiet.
Senator Stacey Campfield, who unsuccessfully tried to pass the legislation several times while a state representative, has remained defiant that this is not the end for his bill, telling Knoxville CW affiliate WATE:
"I disagree with the governor saying that it is not going to pass. Families across the state believe this is something that should be discussed with young children in the home, not with some radical in the classroom."
Campfield once likened homosexuality to bestiality, something critics say shows the animus behind the bill. This is, however, a charge that Campfield has denied, saying the legislation is designed to stop "radical" teachers from pushing their various "agendas" in schools, and that it is necessary so that "families [can] handle that issue."
Several campaigns have formed around combating the Don't Say Gay bill, including one by Star Trek actor George Takei.

Seriously, WHAT are these people going to do when they can no longer pick on gay people and have it even remotely socially acceptable to do so?
I think they'll still have immigrants, muslims, and atheists to whet their appetite with.
Alice B.: You rock! If I could you would get a trillion Greens Stars!
I had to search out Alice's comment--when so many people praise it it ought to be left on the 1st page to see!! Great comments from so many.
Imagine the 12 year old boy who would discuss at home that he likes another young boy. Imagine how fast the kid would be shipped off to some "pray the gay away" camp if the parents are religious nuts. At least in a classroom there is some control over real facts that can be given to children. However after reading the bit about the abortion pictures that are being displayed for elementary children I wonder if our schools have people who are in their right minds enough to give factual information. We seem to have a bad infection in our country today and that is "sexual dysfunctionally adults who are raising sexually dysfunctional children by some kind of biblical law. It would be nice if all people raised their children with the truth instead of terrorizing them with hell, the devil and an angry and wrathful god.
Glad this bill is not passing - but I am glad it inspired "Don't Say Gay, Say Takei!" video. That was a riot!
@ Alice - you know already that I always agree with you and try to send a green star as often as I can. And Derp - you too. A virtual star for you.
perhaps they should elect to not say "left handed", or "red headed" or "green eyed".
people use to be burnt at the stake for having those attributes. apparently they decided that as the right hand is good, the left is bad, making lefties....wait for it....servants of the devil. red hair showed they were linked to evil because their hair was the colour of hell fire (how they knew what hell fire looked like was never discussed in depth) and green eyes were unusual enough that they had to be evil - cats have green eyes, and they are bad too because...they are awake at night.
in my mind, this is just as ridiculous. i am tired of watching LGBT people burn in metaphoric fires because other people like to feel superior.
could we have a "don't be hateful" bill passed?
I agree with Wayne M. We will be better off discussing things openly and maybe getting facts straight than having children fend of themselves on trying to get information on any topic. Maybe I was over-protected or just not sociable enough to have gotten much information, accurate or misinformation, from my peers. I remember high school mostly as a life of quiet desperation over not being able to get along with my mother.
If he thinks the unilateral rejection & denial of a large segment of the world's population is "real sexy," I can hardly wait to hear what he thinks of OTHER human rights...
I grew up with a gay uncle and his partner. This was in the late 40's thru 60"s.. My parents never made a big deal that my uncle and his partner lived together. We just accepted that they were like other people.

As of Saturday, July 13, 2013

HAMPTON — Connor Younginer was a few laps from getting his first win at Thursday Thunder during the Bandits division double feature races at Atlanta Motor Speedway.
Instead, the Stockbridge native settled for second and third place finishes.
And no one in the Younginer camp was complaining.
The second place was his best finish since joining the grassroots racing series during the 2011 season. Younginer, 10, was second to Zach Leonhardi of Cartersville in the first feature race.
In the second feature of the night, division points leader Chandler Smith took the checkered flag with Leonhardi finishing second and Younginer in third place.
"In the second race, his car got a little tight," said Younginer's father, Mark. "I'm really pleased at the way he has been racing this season."
Younginer is currently in third place in the overall points standings heading into the final four races.
"Second is my best ever out here, so I'm happy," Connor Younginer said.
In the second feature, Younginer had the pole position and led through three caution flags. On the third caution restart, Leonhardi made an inside pass out of turn two to take the lead.
It was short lived as Smith moved ahead of the field with an inside pass on the next lap to hold the lead for the win.
Both of the Bandits races featured a lot of fireworks with plenty of caution flags.
In the first division feature, it was a five-lap sprint to the finish with Leonhardi outpacing Younginer and Smith for the win.
"I was happy to see Chandler keep his composure in the second race for the win," said close friend and advisor Luke Behnke, a championship driver at Thursday Thunder. "He kept a level head after the first race. He raced his butt off in the race and deserved the win."
Three drivers pulled double wins at the track in their respective division. William Plemons III continued to dominate the two-car Pro division with double wins. The Locust Grove native now has a track-leading seven wins.
Riley Thornton won both Semi-Pro division races and William Byron of Charlotte, N.C., did the same in the Young Lions division.
Jensen Jorgensen of Stockbridge had a worst to first type of evening at the track. In the first feature of the Outlaws division, he finished last as points leader Ashton Winger took the checkered flag.
It was a different story in the second feature as the roles were reversed with Jorgensen picking up his second win of the season.

Richard Branson's private island, Necker Island, has played host to some big names in its time, from celebrity royalty to the real deal, mainly due to the fact that it promises total privacy and is simply an idyllic island retreat.
Despite the infamous names that have crossed its shores, Necker Island is not merely reserved for the Branson clan and friends - Kate Winslet may have been saved from the fire by Richard Branson himself, but we mere mortals are just as welcome. Thankfully Necker Island is still standing, and the private island has been restored to its former glory and is as beautiful as ever.
Necker Island is comprised of 14 rooms, in the main house and further Balinese-style villas spread across its 74 acres. During certain 'celebration weeks' the rooms can be rented out individually, however the island is usually rented out in its entirety, perfect for a large group of friends or a family looking for an exclusive getaway. All are exquisitely decorated as expected, and many have private pools.
The ethos behind Necker Island is treat it as your own, and guests are encouraged to help themselves to whatever they want, when they want. The menus are entirely dependent on the party's individual tastes (and what is in season of course), and where you eat is again determined by mood - be that at a table, on the beach, or off a canoe in the swimming pool - the choice is yours (and it will always be delicious).
The same mantra is practiced with activities - do as much or as little as you please. There are plenty of water sports on offer, including water-skiing, wind-surfing and wake-boarding, as well as snorkelling and scuba-diving. Yoga, Pilates and meditation can also be arranged, and there are tennis courts and four swimming pools. The new Bali Leha spa overlooks the sea and has a range of superb treatments on offer.
On Necker Island all activities are included (and guests can partake whenever they choose) so there are no nasty surprises when it comes to paying the bill.
Charlie, Original Diver
This perfect Caribbean diving destination is privately owned and almost impossibly large. Peter Island in the British Virgin Islands, comprises 1,800 pristine acres fringed with endless white-sand beaches.

On 14th March Necker Island is offering a Celebration Week for 3, 4, 5, 7 or 8 nights where you can book a room while share the island with others. Plus if you stay 8 nights, your final night will be free of charge. Includes all meals & drinks including Champagne, return launch transfer from Virgin Gorda or Beef Island airports, A dedicated team of over 100 staff, water sports equipment so you can go windsurfing, kite-surfing, water-skiing, sailing, snorkelling and even SCUBA diving plus much more!

Hi, all
I've been running a wp website for a few weeks now and have about 30 posts, about 4 pages and a few comments, but I've been away for 3 days and returned to find my website now displays error 404 - not found.
I can access my dashboard which shows all posts and pages are now gone, but my comments (and all tags) are still there. I backup the site every day though, but when I went to my phpadmin to reinstall I find all the posts and pages are still there. They've just suddenly decided not to display on my site anymore.
It was working yesterday, I can tell from google analytics that several posts/pages were accessed, and as I haven't been around to change anything since 4 days ago I know it wasn't me.
Can someone please help me get the posts/pages to display again, but bear in mind that although I set up the site I'd appreciate you keep it simple!
Thanks for any help you can give.

Apple adds phone calls to Siri suicide prevention responses
updated 09:41 am EDT, Tue June 18, 2013
Tech in new, beta iOS releases
Apple has changed the way Siri responds to suicide references, users have discovered. Until this week, the system would simply display the locations of nearby mental health facilities. In the US Siri will now ask people if they want to talk to someone at the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline. On an iPhone, Siri can also ask to dial directly.
The new response is present in both iOS 6 and the iOS 7 beta. Despite being marketed as an iOS feature, much of Siri's functionality is actually hosted on Apple servers, which lets the company change responses on the fly. Apple has gradually tweaked Siri since it was first integrated into iOS 5, adding and improving functions.

There's been a lot of talk about building new, green industry. But America can take some big steps toward a greener future by reinvesting in our existing housing stock to promote energy efficiency.
That's according to Steven Tourek, senior vice president and general counsel for Marvin Windows and Doors. Tourek is also president of the Tropical Forest Foundation and chairman of the Window & Door Manufacturers Association.
"When you look at the stock of housing in this country, much of it was built before 1990 — when we saw the first generation of low-emissivity glass," Tourek said. "We're now in the third generation of low-E glass.
"We have the people and technology to retrofit and save enormous amounts of energy," he said. "It doesn't require building new plants, huge capital investments or training an entire new work force. We can help deliver energy security for America by investing in our existing housing stock for greater energy efficiency."
Tourek said the WDMA is working with the Obama administration, the Department of Energy and the Environmental Protection Agency to move policy along this track, "creating quality jobs that will last beyond the recovery."
Tourek noted that 93 percent of Marvin's products contain the most energy-efficient glass options, compared with an industry average of 58 percent. "And the 7 percent that don't are because architects and builders specified them that way," he said. "Our customer base is ahead of the curve."

Bottom Line The GPS-equipped Canon PowerShot D20 is a well-built but large rugged camera with a sharp lens. It produces good-looking images at every supported ISO, but isn't the fastest tough camera that we've tested.Read the full review →
As low as
conclusion:We're mixed
Canon's PowerShot D20 is a tough camera that can take good shots in almost any environment, including underwater. However, it's somewhat slow, its movie mode isn't the best, and it's more expensive than the Olympus Tough TG-820, which has most of the same features, and is faster at shooting multiple images. Unlike the Olympus, the D20 has built-in GPS, so if you're traveling a lot, and want your images geotagged, it's a better choice. Otherwise, the TG-820 is a better value.

Overall, the PowerShot D20 offers a uniquely styled rugged body, good photo quality, and performance that'll satisfy its target audience.Read the full review →
If you want to buy a rugged, waterproof camera, the Canon PowerShot D20 is the one to go for. It's easy to use and comes in a choice of three colours. Build quality can't be faulted and the buttons are responsive, with a satisfying action, unlike those on some rivals.Read the full review →
The D20 is a solid outdoor camera, particularly well-suited to casual photographers who want a hands-off, user-friendly experience. Otherwise, there isn't much here to separate the D20 from the herd of tough-cams.Read the full review →
It's almost there in some departments, but the current lowest £280 price point is rather steep for what's on offer, and the quirky design marks it down.Read the full review →
The Canon PowerShot D20 is a great new lifeproof addition to a line that Canon has not updated for several years. The body has been made more manageable and the electronics include the great components of their proven HS system for outstanding quality.Read the full review →

COVINGTON -- A Newborn man traveling with his family on the way for the children to visit Santa Claus was killed Monday around 6 p.m. in a car crash near Athens, according to the Athens-Clarke County Police Department.
Christopher Tyler, 37, was a passenger in a vehicle driven by his wife.
"She was driving northbound on Timothy Road and attempted a left turn onto the southbound Loop 10 ramp," said ACCPD Public Information Officer Hilda Sorrow. "She turned into the path of a 2000 Jeep Cherokee driven by a 16-year-old male who was southbound. The Evans' vehicle was struck in the passenger side, causing fatal injuries to husband Christopher Evans."
Mrs. Evans and her two sons, ages 7 and 5, were transported to Athens Regional Medical Center where they were treated and released.
No charges have been filed pending completion of the investigation, Sorrow said.
