| CopCAST Episode 104 - The Woodie |
 It is hard to believe that we are posting the first show of 2009. Mack got the news on his promotional competition. We was not selected as the new staff sergeant but he will be taking on a new assignment and a professional challenge. Morgan discusses the new Cisco consumer electronics initiative. Rich has recovered from his pre-Christmas flu attack and is predicting the Steelers will take the Superbowl this year. The CopCAST crew is looking forward to another fun filled year of podcasts in 2009.
One Pennsylvania family discovered an unwanted Christmas guest. Remember not to talk during the movie - it can be hazardous to your health. Did Colonel Saunders have an alibi? It is amazing what some guys will do for $3.80. The new Wendy's value meal - the one dollar robbery. The Baltimore Police Commissioner earns his pay. An 88-year-old woman teaches an intruder that when you have him by the balls, his heart and mind will follow. In our keynote story, a Florida man has a woodie but it is knot what you think. Stupid people should not play with bombs.

| What will 2009 hold for you? |
 We are at the beginning of 2009 and the good news is that if you're reading this you're still with us. The bad news is your 401K may very well be on life support.
Resolutions New Year's resolutions, also called "Things I Wouldn't Bet On" are sometimes set up to fail. Don't use it for a vent about what you didn't accomplish of last year's resolution list but rather be practical. Instead of saying "I'm going to lose forty pounds in two weeks," try saying "I'm going to lose two pounds in forty weeks."
Attainable? I think so. My buddy Franco who's a retired hippie is a true child of the sixties. He went to Woodstock and Atlanta International Pop Festival (1970) where he saw Jimi Hendrix, Jethro Tull, Allman Brothers, Johnny Winter, Captain Beefheart (remember him?) and according to Franco, Jesus a few times. He has the short-term memory of stapler.

| Burglars burn DeKalb businesses |
Vandals burglarized and set fire to several businesses in a Chamblee shopping center early Thursday morning.
The burglars forcibly dislodged the plate windows from one business, raising the concern of an explosive device. The Chamblee police arrived at the Chamblee Center at 3146 Chamblee-Dunwoody Road at 7:30 a.m. said Lt. Steve Harris.
There, they found a third floor employment agency smoldering, with its four floor-to-ceiling plate windows seemingly blasted out of the wall. Both fire fighters and the DeKalb Bomb Squad Unit were deployed.

| Thieves steal 200 vases from Stone Mt. cemetery |
Thieves have stolen about 200 bronzed vases from a Stone Mountain cemetery over the Christmas holiday, with DeKalb County police telling cemetery operators that they have asked scrap metal dealers to be on the lookout for anyone trying to sell them.
"It just makes me angry," Melwood Cemetery spokeswoman Cheryl Brown said. "They're stealing from the dead, but they're hurting the families, too."
The vases are used to hold flower tributes and are located on top of grave markers. Brown said the thefts were discovered on Christmas, when a family reported that the vase on the grave they were visiting was gone.
