No practice for the Hawks today. The AJC Hawks preview is at . . . newsstands . . . today! Run out and buy it! Please?
Meanwhile, here are some previews from around the InterWebs, each with a brief highlight and my comment:
Peachtree Hoops
They previewed the Hawks back on Oct. 12.
THHB says 50-32: "I am sensing change won't be the magic elixir for playoff excellence, given Joe getting a year older and an inevitable dip in team fortune in regards to injury, but it will be enough for a back-to-back 50 win campaigns and grab the home court once again."
KW says 52-30: While the mounting injuries are of a major concern to me, I do think that the way this team is being written off is premature. Are they a championship contender? Probably not, but there may be only two or three of those in the Eastern Conference and the Hawks are still right at the top of the rest of the pack. I am going back to back 50 win seasons and a top 4 seed in the conference."
MC says: Both guys mention injury, and that's the elephant in the room for the Hawks. Odds are they won't get through this season in peak health (and isn't that another reason last season felt like a letdown to some?) and there's also the matter of L.D.'s approach to practicing them long and hard.
Their gang of experts all made a prediction and Atlanta's average ranking was 5.9 in the East.
Michael Wallace and Tim Legler were most optimistic, picking the Hawks fifth. But Wallace says: "Replacing Mike Woodson with Larry Drew won't be enough to shake things up and get the Hawks beyond the first round of the playoffs."
Chris Sheridan was most pessimistic about the Hawks' chances, picking them No. 8 in the East: "They are still playoff material, no doubt, but they'll be road kill again if they face Boston, Miami or Orlando in the first round."
MC says: The Hawks have given no indication they can compete with the Magic so there's no case to be made there. And I don't see Atlanta overcoming Boston's tenacity and toughness in a seven-game series. But, call me crazy, I think they actually match up better with Miami and could give them a series.
Ball Don't Lie
Forced to make a prediction three months ago, Kelly Dwyer decided the Hawks would finish 48-34. But he sounds pretty optimistic in his blog write-up:
"Nice additions, a cheap but possibly effective hire in Larry Drew, and a step away from former coach Mike Woodson's stifling "offensive" attack? It would seem that, even after a slow start as everyone gets used to the new boss, the Hawks would eventually fall in line and into that safe middle road. Fewer wins than last season? I just think it's a product of their surroundings, and that potential slow start. . . .
"This isn't a bad thing. Under Woodson, these guys always started hot, but topped off. With Drew, the hope is that they'll be penny-foolish and pound-wise, shuffling their best work toward spring as opposed to peaking in fall."
MC says: Not sure about the "nice additions" part, though someone with the Hawks reminded me the other day that Josh Powell, Etan Thomas, and Jason Collins are better than what they Hawks have had in those 10-11-12 spots in recent years. So I guess that's something.
Dwyer makes a good point about the slow start. It's possible the Hawks will be a less-efficient offensive team this season and the new defensive approach might be best for the long-term but could be ugly in the interim as L.D. tries to get these guys to buy in and their personnel deficiencies aren't hidden by switches. But being less predictable offensively and defensively might pay off in the playoffs.
Ian Thomsen talked to a scout from an opposing team for his take on the Hawks.
Says the scout: "The Hawks are looking through the wrong side of the window of opportunity right now. They've hit their ceiling and they can't go any higher. I want to believe new coach Larry Drew can make a difference because he's been around, he's seen so many different things and paid his dues. But Atlanta has some hardheaded guys in that locker room, and it's at the point where I don't see much improvement in them anymore."
MC says: This was a big part of Woody's problem at the end. No one would say he's not a strong-willed guy but eventually even he couldn't get through to this group. L.D. is saying the right things but if guys don't get the message then at some point it becomes about accountability.
Will L.D. be able to win a battle of wills with these guys? Would he, say, bench Smoove if he keeps taking jumpers or pouting instead of getting back on D? Would he sit J.J. if the isos become a problem again? If he's really about defense, and defense is about effort, will he decide minutes based on those principles?
SLAM Online
ATL-ien Lang Whitaker posits a best-case/worst-case scenario of 57-60 Ws/something less than 53. Says Lang: "The last few years the Hawks have played with the slimmest of margins of error, and they've actually done pretty well, all things considered. This year they'll again be living on the edge. At least it gives us Hawks fans something to think about."
MC says: I like the optimism. Really. I'm a skeptical/cynical/hopeless hack so just by the nature of this gig I'm eventually going to pick at the things that can and do go wrong. Fans should look at all the things that can go right. It's that time of year, blog people. Enjoy it.

Nice set of comments . . . but I think they're all being optimistic. I think the Hawks go 40-42 this year. My guess is that LD shows to be too much of a players' coach and the "hard headed" guys on this team tune him out as a continuation of the way they tuned out Woody. It sure seemed that way in the preseason . . . .
So I predict this year to be a big step back . . . and next year is the make or break year for this core. They either decide they want it badly enough to put aside their own egos and peccadillos, or they tank even worse.
BTW, Sund hasn't proved that he can do much more than tinker so far. He didn't decide he needed a coaching change based on the merit of Woodson's accomplishments so as much as he just acceded to the collective willfulness of the core roster. Other than that he's added some experienced end of bench guys and worked in a redundancy – Jordan Crawford – at shooting guard, perhaps as a hedge against Jamal leaving. But then after watching Jordan at Indiana and Xavier, he's also exacerbated the willfulness of the players . . . .
October 24th, 2010
2:46 pm
I'll give my prediction: I got the Hawks going 48-34. That will be enough to sneek into the 4th spot. I think the win total will be down because Miami and Washington will be better this year. Also, not sure they will sweep Boston like they did last year.
Where ever they finish the regular season, is where ever they finish the regular season. This team will be judged on their playoff performance. If last year taught me anything, it was that playoffs are where seasons are good, bad, or total busts. The Hawks last year were total busts in the playoffs. I think that is why so many are down on them right now.
The weak effort against the Magic, Joe's stupid comments, and the crowd booing them off the floor in games 3 and 4 have left a major bad tase in a lot of people's mouth.
October 24th, 2010
2:50 pm
50-32 and a second round ouster – no sweep though. This is of course barring an unforeseen acquisition of a defensive beast and rebounding center.

Ken Strickland from previous blog:
No, they should be judged by how they perform in the 2nd round. Boston sucked in the regular season last year…Who cares?
1) Miami is overrated
2) Orlando is still soft and a "sleeper team" (LOL!) and will choke in the playoffs.

I think I'll know if LD has what it takes to be a coach if Josh keeps taking jumpers and LD sits his ass down and tells him "your not gonna see the floor until u understand that taking jumpers is hurtiing the team not helping."

drmaryb, wasn't digging up a dead horse. If you think that those comments aren't part of the reason some are down/not interested in the Hawks right now, you're wrong, again. Point was/is that the way the season ended (and Joe's comments were a big part of the story when the season ended) killed a lot of the good the Hawks did last year.
So, not digging up a dead horse. Making a point. And, all I said were the comments were stupid. That is not something that can be argued, since they were stupid.

Let me add this to my prediction…Hawks finish 48-34. They will beat Miami everytime they play in Philips Arena. I made this call when the 3 d-bags decided to join forces and I'm standing by it now. Heat will lose everytime they enter Philips Arena.

Do you think Perkins can come back close to 100% for a guy his size?
If so, by when? Was injured in June 2010 … torn PCl and MCL.

5:16 pm
When its all said and done, this is why we play the games. Predictions dont win games……………………GO HAWKS
October 24th, 2010
6:33 pm
I will say this again. This team CANNOT start out slow, and expect to make it up at the end, to avoid getting a 5 seed or lower.
We have very winnable road games in November. And while we have a few tough home games in November, we'll have a good shot to win each of those games.
If this team is a playoff level team, we should have no lower than an 12 – 6 record going into December. If we're 9 – 9 or below, this team is going to hover around .500 for the rest of the year, because the rest of the schedule isn't in our favor.
In December, the home schedule is great, but the road schedule is absolutely brutal.
The reason why the Hawks started out fast in past years, is because they took care of business against teams they were supposed to beat. The Hawks don't need to be foolint around with teams they should be able to beat.
October 24th, 2010
7:05 pm
I don't trust the bench, but I do trust the starters.
People talk about developing the bench, but you can't leave them out there if they can't hold leads or if they let decifits get larger. If Drew keeps a short leash on the bench, I'll say we go 50 – 32.
If he doesn't, we could lose a few games we would've won otherwise.
October 24th, 2010
7:12 pm
No way. the hawks have not reached their ceiling, not by a longshot.
October 24th, 2010
7:14 pm
46-36 Hawks did not improve, made and unnecessary coaching change for an experiment. The same problems that prevented the hawks are still there. Sund did nothing to address hawks weaknesses but created question marks with the Woody lite move.There is still not enough talent here to get past the 2nd round. Add to that the other teams in the league addressed their weakness and in some cases made blockbuster moves.
Unless the hawks make an early/mid season meaningful trade This team finishes in the mid 40's
See you at the end of the year.

I will say the same as last year 53-29 last year we lost a couple that we should not have. we will struggle but get it together at the right time
October 24th, 2010
8:41 pm
The funny thing is that if you were to roll back the clock each of the past few years you would see the same predictions that the Hawks would slip back, but they always get a little bit better (which you should expect with a team built around guys in their early 20's). When will they learn?
Chris Sheriden should find another sport to write about. Hockey, maybe?

Who cares, basketball is a giant snoozer.
October 24th, 2010

The Hawks better make the 4th seed minimum or its lights out in Round 1 no matter who they play.
For this roster to to get to the 4th seed, they have to finish 3rd in their division. All these goals should be doable even if LD doesn't man up and make any member of the core accountable this year.
I still wait for a starter to be yanked and replaced because of their poor performance for any length of time. These lopsided losses in the preseason don't say or mean much, but effort has to be there night in night out going forward. 2-1 after the first week of the regular season.
October 24th, 2010

hawks go 41 and 41
October 24th, 2010

As an avid hawks fan, I believe the hawks will advance to the Eastern Conference Finals or even in the NBA Finals, GO HAWKS
They will win 55-57 win.
October 24th, 2010
10:15 pm
No doubt about it, things will be rough out the gate. New coach, new offense, new defense, new player rotation (first ever player rotation).
When the players get comfortable with their roles the new offense and defense, this team should peak come playoffs and won't be labeled a selfish boring team by the media.
October 24th, 2010
10:30 pm
My prediction is 49-33. We will have the 4th best record in the East, but we will be the 5th seed, because we will have the 3rd best record in our division.
And the NBA says division winners can finish no lower than fourth. However, even if we are the fifth seed, we would still have homecourt in the first round, so I think we will advance to the second round again.
Last season, when the players had an issue, they would go to LD. When they have an issue this season, who will they go to?
I hope they buy in to LD's system. otherwise, we are looking at a first round exit.
October 24th, 2010
10:53 pm
My prediction 37-45 may be 8 seed in the east.
October 24th, 2010

Marvin william and teague will determain the hawks faith this year, AND WITH MARVIN NOT IMPROVING HIS GAME WILL HURT THE HAWKS BAD THIS YEAR.

"but it will be enough for a back-to-back 50 win campaigns and grab the home court once again.""
50 wins will not get the Hawks home court. In the highly likely event that Miami and Orlando finish higher than the Hawks in the standings, the Hawks can be no higher than the 5th seed. If the Hawks are the 5th seed with 50 wins, the division winner with the worst record has to win fewer than 50 games. I don't see Boston winning fewer than 50, so unless the Central Division winner wins fewer than 50, the Hawks will not have home court in the first round.
October 24th, 2010
11:31 pm
I'm with O'Brien on 49-33. I actually think the Hawks will be better in the playoffs this year than they have been in years past, but the regular season record will not reflect their improvement, since other teams in the conference have drastically improved their personnel.
October 24th, 2010
11:32 pm
The expert pundits have been wrong every year the last 5. We are more veteran than young now. We will be more mature than most teams out there. Josh, Joe, Al, Bibs and Jamal will need to bond tightly. If they do Hawks will play in the ECC unless they draw Orlando in the second round. I say 56-26.
October 24th, 2010
11:44 pm
Just so y'all know, unless you think Miami or Orlando will finish with a worse record than the Hawks, the Hawks can't finish any higher than 5th.
Doesn't mean they can't have home court (although I don't think it will happen) but the 5th seed is the Hawks' ceiling unless Miami or Orlando majorly underachieves.
October 24th, 2010
11:51 pm
42-40 8th seed in the East.
October 25th, 2010
12:16 am
Its Amazing +
The east is tougher, the Celtics are older, but the Hawks young athletic Hawks takes a step back….Really????
Boston added to Grumpy old O'neals, to the oldest roster in the league, but people believe they will atleast as good….Wow!!!
What did Orlando do to improve….Nothing. When you teams wins 50+ games, you don't want to change much.
The east has gotten tougher but only for the Hawks….. Really? So the Bulls and the Bucks will only have to play the Hawks…..NOT!!!
I am going to tell all of you what the problems is…..No one knows why the Hawks are so good.
They don't a have a great player.
They don't play great defense.
They don't have a great offense.
They don't have a great PG
They don't have great size.
THEY JUST WIN!!!! Analysts don't know how to judge the Hawks, because no one in the league wins like we do…. SO THEY SIMPLY PICK THE HAWKS TO GET WORSE.
If we can win 53 games with all those DEFICIENCIES, what happens when our offense and defense gets better……WE BECOME ELITE!!!!!
October 25th, 2010
12:24 am
Rufus1, EXACTLY!
October 25th, 2010
12:37 am
Dito that Rufus1!!
I will probably have the highest prediction here but I truly believe the Hawks will finish 60-22!! Yes, I'm smoking, drinking, swimming in that Kool-aid cause just because we have trouble playing Orlando, doesnt mean other teams has trouble beating them. Our only 2 teams we seem to have problems with are Orlando and OKCity..that's it. Every other team we have beaten wither in Phillips or on the road. And as the team gets more and more comfortable with this new offense, those WIDE OPEN SHOTS will soon look like layup to us cause we HAVE good shooters on our team, they just weren't exposed much during previous seasons due to standing around watching Joe and his ISO's. Joe, Bibby, Jamal, Jordan, & Al Horford(on a good shooting night) can all shoot very well with this offense. That's why Orlando shooters are very well with their offense cause they are COMFORTABLE AND KNOWS WHERE EVERYONE SHOULD BE FOR AN OPEN SHOT IN THEIR OFFENSE!! But the biggest and main word is COMFORTABLE. Once we get to the point where we are COMFORTABLE with our new offense, all I can say is WATCH OUT ORLANDO, MIAMI, & BOSTON, OH AND OKCITY!!
October 25th, 2010
12:44 am
I also wanted to point out that LD knows this team and how defense becomes important to them. The difference between us and Boston is that Boston defense drives their offense which is why Boston has won many titles despite their age. This is the correct way to win games, defense 1st then offense. But unfortunately, the Hawks offense drives their defense and since LD knows this by being with the team for the past 6 years, he wanted to get the Hawks COMFORTABLE with this new offense that can get them open/easy shots for Joe and company. And again, once the Hawks get COMFORTABLE with the offense, their defense will truly rise to the occasion!!
October 25th, 2010
12:50 am
Exactly MS DEE
I think we win atleast 55 games and have no worse than 3rd best record in the east.
October 25th, 2010
12:53 am
How are the Hawks going to be worse, if the offense has already proven we are going get easier shot……..HUH?
October 25th, 2010
12:53 am
MsDee pass me the kool-aid please!!!
I too predict the Hawks will be better record-wise and playoff-wise this year!!
October 25th, 2010
1:22 am
I am so frustrated! Why can't we get more coverage of the Hawks? It is obvious we have some passionate fans. We would probably fill the arena with more news coverage. Where is the hype? Come on AJC give us better coverage and more information on our team! This team has been winning the last few years and it gets the least coverage of all.
October 25th, 2010

Injury is indeed the elephant in the room. However, is this not so for any team? What if Boston's two O'Neals can't stay healthy? Then how do their brilliant offseason acquisitions look? Ask the Milwaukee Bucks what those injuries can do to you. All the same, we're not as deep quality-wise as we would like to see. Check that….we're not even as quality in our STARTING LINEUP as you might like to see. Two positions are still questions: SF and PG.
There are some who say center is a position of question, but if you have viable backups and options, it's not. Are our backups/options viable?
Like some, I have limited trust in the bench. Here's my assessment:
Teague – They want him to be good enough to start, and soon. He has the tools. Does he have the mentality? We don't know.
Jamal – Most of the time, he'll score. Most of the time, he'll be a ghost on defense.
Collins – Looked fairly good when on the court in preseason. But will he be a guy that Drew turns to when more size is needed?
Etan – Got anything left? Dude is brutish and strong, but hardly taller than Al. Can he stay healthy and provide productive minutes, or will he be a muscle bound bench fixture?
Jordan Crawford – Only a matter of time before he sees the floor for significant minutes. Sooner is better, but don't hold your breath. Without defensive improvement, it will be tough to break in. On the flip side, back court injuries could be the key (or a trade of Jamal).
Mo Evans – Depends. Can score, but will gripe about minutes. Has trouble on defense sometimes, and can be foul prone.
Zaza Pachulia – Can score, has good games here and there, and can rebound. Defends by being in the way. Can lay hard fouls. Otherwise, not an enforcer on the glass or in the paint.
Josh Powell – showed some serious moxie in the preseason. Can't impact the game like J-Smoove does, but then again, few in the league can. A good stand-in down low, and may see more minutes than any other Hawks big man.
October 25th, 2010
2:27 am
If we can win 53 games with all those DEFICIENCIES, what happens when our offense and defense gets better……WE BECOME ELITE!!!!!
Yes…if all else is equal. But all else is NOT equal. Other teams took measures to improve dramatically. And becoming better on offense and defense is a relative term. Right now, Orlando seems able to prove that they are 25 points better than us any time we play. So let's say we improve to where they only beat us by 10 points every time we play them. Are we then better? I want to win, not "lose better."
October 25th, 2010
3:02 am
@BIg Ray,
Yes, injuries are an elephant in the room but we can only speak for right now…I choose to speak on right now. Yes, the Hawks are a little banged up but if they get better, than they are better!
October 25th, 2010
6:01 am
The Hawks have a wealth of guards that play questionable defense (Bibby, Teague, Ja Craw, Jo Craw, & Evans)…Until 2 of these guys get replaced with a PG & SF that can play some D, the Hawks will remain good, but not great.
October 25th, 2010
7:27 am
I want to win, not "lose better." Ray .
So do I. However, I think our ceiling this year is to "lose better" in the second round.
In terms of players, I dont think we have what it takes to get to the ECF, and I dont think we have what it takes mentally either. LD will have his work cut out for him.
October 25th, 2010
7:39 am
I say 50 wins. I mean it all hinges on Marvin he is really only the unknown talent on this team. Or maybe he is what he is. But we all seem to think he can be more than what he showed u so far. I would be happy if he could give us 10pts and rebounds at this point. If we could get that out of him we could win 53+.

Investigators in Ben Hill county are urging parents to monitor their children's interactions on social networks after reports of a registered sex offender targeting pre-teens.Last week they received complaints from parents about a man who was pursuing "inappropriate interactions" with the minors. Investigators said they were able link a registered sex offender to the claims.While the case is still under investigation and charges are pending law enforcement says parents in Ben Hill County and surrounding areas need to make sure they are aware of who their children are befriending on social networks."There is indication that this offender has contacted children in other jurisdictions," said Ben Hill Sheriff's Investigator Patrick Hogan. "What we would like is for parents to sit down and speak with their children and go through each individual contact that your child has."Not only did the person create a page posing as a minor investigators say it appears that he created an entire family. Ben hill county officials want parents to alert law enforcement if they suspect suspicious behavior on their children's social networking profiles.

Oilers at Canucks, G30/08-09
My wife's family lives in Medicine Hat so I've been driving down there three or four times a year for more than 25 years. It's a nice little city, I always thought it would be a good place to raise a family and certainly a good place for a hockey fan.
The Tigers rule the city and surrounding area. When they're Memorial Cup worthy there's a measurable buzz from early spring right through the WHL playoffs and into the Memorial Cup tournament.
Trevor Linden is Medicine Hat's golden boy. Talk to a Medicine Hat native about Linden and you get the kind of respect and tone that people use only when speaking of greatness. He's the town DiMaggio.
Since I've been to Medicine Hat over 100 times let me put all the Linden information to good use. Here's a few things you're not likely to read many places:
- The family name was originally "Van der Linden."
- His brother Jamie played 4 NHL games.
- The trade that sent Linden back to Vancouver (from Washington) included the Canucks 3rd rd pick going the other way. That third round pick eventually made its way to Edmonton and was used on Zack Stortini.
- He was involved in some of the biggest trades of his era, including the monster that sent him to the Islanders for Todd Bertuzzi, Bryan McCabe and the draft pick that turned into Jarkko Ruutu.
- He was born the day Apollo 13 launched.
- He was born the day after the Beatles broke up.
The Oilers stepped into the elevator shaft last night and awoke this morning looking like Ray Milland in The Lost Weekend. They'll be Psycho Killer's tonight. Book it.

Very clean and comfortable
My family and I were absolutely happy and very please with the home that we rented during our vacation in Orlando. The house was clean and in a nice quite location, and it has every thing you need for your comfort and to prepare meals. If there would be something that we will add is that the screen area in the pool has a couple of broken panels and this allow insects to get trap and stay by the pool. Other than that we were very comfortable and will stay here again. Disney is just 15 minutes away, Walmart and other stores are close too so you can easily do your groseries shooping.

Just finished our large family celebration of our 40th Anniversary. This house was absolutely wonderful! Everything a family could need, from strollers to car seat to huge washer/dryer to awesome pool area. Even pool towels were provided! Open floor plan perfect for large group. House was very clean and had enough of everything for a large group. Close to Disney, SeaWorld, Universal (10-15 minutes even in traffic) yet away from "honky-tonk" zones! Best of all were the people we dealt with. Owners accepted questions and answered all of them better than anticipated. Friendly, very helpful, and incredibly generous. The management team stopped by right after we arrived and twice while we were there just to make certain all was as we needed it to be. Cannot recommend this place strongly enough!!! Look no further. Stay here. Bring the family! Enjoy it all!

Analyzing baseball > Records and statistics
Baseball records have long provided benchmarks of individual achievements. No individual accomplishment possesses more drama for fans than the tally of home runs. Babe Ruth's single-season record for home runs (60 in 1927) stood for 33 seasons until it was broken by Roger Maris (with 61 home runs in 1961). (It should be noted that, although Josh Gibson is credited with hitting 89 home runs in one season, Negro league records, which were sketchily kept, are not included in Major League Baseball statistics.) In 1998 both Mark McGwire (with 70) and Sammy Sosa (with 66) easily crashed through the 60-home-run barrier established by Ruth and Maris. In 2001 Barry Bonds broke McGwire's record with 73 home runs for the season. The record for home runs over a player's career is 762, set by Bonds, who eclipsed the mark of 755 set by Hank Aaron (though, again, it is believed that Gibson hit more). Ruth had long held that record as well, with a career home-run total of 714, until Aaron passed him in 1974.
For several decades, many of the records established by Ty Cobb, who played from 1905 through 1928, remained unbroken. While no one has successfully challenged Cobb's lifetime batting average of .367 or his 12 batting championships, Pete Rose toppled Cobb's lifetime mark of 4,189 hits in 1985 and finished his career with 4,256 hits. Cobb's single-season (20th-century) stolen-base record of 96, set in 1915, fell to Maury Wills (with 104 in 1962), then Lou Brock (with 118 in 1974), and finally Rickey Henderson (with 130 in 1982). Henderson also holds the record for career steals with 1,406. While Joe DiMaggio's consecutive hitting streak of 56 games in 1941 remained intact through the 20th century, on September 6, 1995, Cal Ripken, Jr., broke Lou Gehrig's record of 2,130 consecutive games played. Ripken finished his streak in 1998 with 2,632 games.
Late in the 20th century, pitching records came under assault as well. While Cy Young outpaced his modern counterparts in career wins with 511, pitchers since the mid-20th century have far surpassed earlier hurlers in career strikeouts, led by Nolan Ryan, who retired in 1993 with 5,714. No one, however, has equaled the record of Grover Cleveland Alexander, who is the only four-time winner of the Triple Crown of pitching (that is, leading the league in wins, strikeouts, and the lowest earned run average, or ERA). Alexander won the Triple Crown in 1915, 1916, 1917, and 1920.
In addition to individual marks, baseball fans carefully monitor record-shattering team performances. Great dynasties, teams that dominated play from year to year, have characterized much of major league baseball history. Beneficiaries of larger potential revenues because of their location, most of the dynasties have been from the country's largest metropolitan areas. Hence, New York teams appeared in 53 of 106 World Series (through the year 2010). In particular, since 1921 the New York Yankees have towered over baseball: through the 2010 season the Yankees captured 40 American League pennants, and from 1996 through 2000 they had a 4615 postseason (divisional play-offs and World Series) record, more postseason wins than all their competitors combined.
By measuring the changes in the delicate balance between offense and defense, statistics also reveal much of baseball's history on the playing field. Lengthening the pitching distance to 60 feet 6 inches (18.4 metres) in 1893 initially touched off an offensive barrage. But increasing the size of the plate in 1900, counting the first two foul balls as strikes (adopted by the National League in 1901 and American League in 1903), the increased use of the spitball (in which moisture is applied to the surface of a ball to affect its flight), the appearance of a cadre of bigger and stronger pitchers, and conservative managerial styles (called scientific or inside baseball) all contributed to a sharp fall in total runs and hits. The hitting drought continued until the 1920s; then the outlawing of the spitball, the use of more balls per game, and the free swinging of Ruth produced a new offensive onslaught. Some also attributed this explosion of hitting to the introduction of what they believed to be a livelier ball, despite denials from major league authorities and the balls' manufacturers. Offense continued to dominate the game until 1963, when baseball officials sought to speed up games by increasing the size of the strike zone called by the umpires. Lowering the pitching mound and reducing the size of the strike zone in 1969, along with the advent of the designated hitter rule (replacing the pitcher in the batting order with a better-hitting player) in the American League in 1973, all served to partially reverse the decline in offensive productivity.
Benjamin G. Rader
The 1990s witnessed a new hitting revolution, with a proliferation of home runs at its centre. Even in Ruth's heyday, homers were something of a rarity, coming at a rate of only 1 for each 91 at bats. Indeed, before 1994 a player hit 50 or more home runs in a season just 18 times; from 1995 to 2002 there were 15 50-homer seasons. By 1999 the sluggers were averaging 1 homer for each 30 at bats. In 1998 not only did McGwire and Sosa completely alter the game's historic frame of reference for home runs in a single season, but in the very next season they again hit more than 60 homers (65 by McGwire; 63 by Sosa). Just two years later the record was shattered by Bonds.
Initially it was believed that this outburst of power was the result of lighter bats, a new style of hitting, an arguably more resilient ball, and weakened pitching in the wake of the expansion of the number of teams in the league. The slugging explosion was also attributed to the increased muscularity of hitters, though the matter of how hitters had gone about becoming stronger became increasingly controversial. In the mid-1990s, rumours circulated of the spreading use of steroids, which increase muscle mass (see sports: Human performance and the use of drugs). In 1991 it had become illegal to possess or sell anabolic steroids in the United States without a valid prescription; however, the major leagues had no formal policy on steroid use until 2002, when Ken Caminiti admitted to having used steroids while winning the 1996 Most Valuable Player award.
In 2003 it was alleged that a number of players, including Bonds, had obtained an illegal steroidal cream from the Bay Area Laboratory Co-operative (BALCO). Bonds testified before a grand jury that he had never knowingly taken steroids, but accusations of steroid use dogged his pursuit of Aaron's career home run record, and in 2007 he was indicted for perjury and obstruction of justice regarding his testimony. Bonds, however, was far from the only player whose accomplishments were called into question by the issue of performance-enhancing drugs. In March 2005 the House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Government Reform conducted hearings on steroid use in baseball. Among the players to testify were McGwire, Sosa, Frank Thomas, and Rafael Palmeiro (who testified, I have never used steroids. Periodthough he later received a 10-day suspension for steroid use under the major leagues' new zero-tolerance policy). In March 2006, Major League Baseball Commissioner Bud Selig named former U.S. senator George J. Mitchell to head up an independent inquiry into steroid use in baseball. Mitchell's report was released in December 2007, and it mentioned 86 current and former playersincluding such stars as Bonds, Roger Clemens, Miguel Tejada, and Andy Pettittewho were alleged to have possessed or used either steroids or human growth hormone (HGH) in the previous decade. Mitchell noted that everyone in baseballplayers and management alikeshared responsibility for the steroids era and the effect it had on baseball's reputation with the public. In the aftermath of these developments, baseball records and statistics since the 1990s have become the topic of much debate.

GreatSchools Rating
Teacher quality
Principal leadership
Parent involvement
I want to play devil's advocate to the users who feel communication is a let-down. We have 6 kids, so we have been through various middle schools. I don't think a lot of these parents realize that there is less communication between teachers and parents at EVERY middle school level. The teachers at this age leave it up to the parents and students to come to them, in general. If you take the time to do this, you will find the teachers and admin to be very responsive and helpful. We pay to send our kids to this school from another district. Good teachers, good admin, good class sizes. And no real major clique problems with the kids. Overall, a great experience!
The communication is not what it should be, it seems that they feel the parents are not important anymore, i didn't know some of my childs isues until i scheduled a conference, the school is good but if you have a student that struggles in areas - the majority just blame the student and do not communicate, i had 2 teachers that seemed to care enough to help her and to let me know- this was only after i requested the communication.
Have to agree, the area is great, small classes, however from the middle school, there is no communication at all about grades or misconduct until it is to late to help correct the problem. Could use some better skills in that department, however, the elementry is great.
To the person who wasn't pleased with the teachers at the middle school, I can't imagine what you're saying to be true! My son has only been in the school for a couple of months and he has exceeded all of our expectations! The teachers use positive reinforcement instead of criticism like other schools we've been in and they are wonderful about calling and letting us know what a good job our son is doing. He has even been able to spend one on one time with Mrs. McNabb as a reward. I hate that you think this of the school because we literally, could not be happier with the middle or the elementary staff! Wonderful schools. Recommend to anyone.
The best thing about Aubrey MS is the small class sizes. However, there is a definite need for improvement in Teacher communication to Parents. Many times news on low grades, missing assignments, behavior problems, etc. have not been communitcated to me as a parent until it is way to late to do anything to help or correct the problem from our end at home. Teachers as a whole do not attempt to go the 'extra mile' to get home support to help our children succeed but instead they focus on the negative rather than the positive.

Review: Retro City Rampage is an awesome NES game
Back at E3, Retro City Rampage was my personal game of the show. I was so captivated by the endearing NES influence and the charming 8-bit mayhem that developer VBlank Entertainment offered that all I wanted was for the game to finally launch so I could play it in its entirety. Now that creator Brian Provinciano has finally released the game, it's evident that Retro City Rampage is not... Read More

We produced the first ever all-women game jam! The XX Game Jam in was in London on the 26th and 27th October 2012. It was kindly been hosted by Mind Candy (the creators of Moshi Monsters) and has been supported by a number of organisations and people – UWE's Digital Cultures Research Centre, UKIE, Ada Lovelace Day, Connection Point Technology, PlayMob, London Games Festival as well as us at Auroch Digital. The event has had some great coverage, including:
Gaming Thinktank, GamesIndustry.biz, RantGaming & the BBC (also on video)
"Within eight days of the registration going live we had filled 40 spaces," said Debbie Rawlings, "We have a waiting list of about another 40 already so we could run another next week and I'm totally confident that would sell out too."
The theme for games created at the XX Game Jam was clockwork, a nod to Ada Lovelace, the female mathematician credited with writing the world's first computer programs in the 1800s.
She worked with Charles Babbage, an inventor whose "difference engine", a complex calculation machine which he designed but never built, is now considered to be the earliest computer.
Debbie from Auroch was the prinicapl producer of the event while Tomas joined a great group of judges for the event: Jo Twist from UKIE, Suw Charman-Anderson from Ada Lovelace Day and Martha Henderson from Wellcome Trust.

DS has a cold or something. He has been up a few times with a cough and a scream of pain. I think his throat is really raw. Does anyone have a homemade cough syrup I can make him for tomorrow? I have honey and lemon at home. I remember the doctor giving us a very simple one a couple years ago when my infant was sick, but we were told to use corn syrup instead of honey, but I completely forget the ratio of that, and I would rather use honey. I do remember it being soothing on my throat.
Anyone? I am going to call the doc in the morning, but they always have a long wait, esp. on monday mornings
Everything online has pepper or onion added to it. I want something simpler than that!

Daily iPhone App: The Walk adds some danger and intrigue to your daily routine
You may remember Six to Start for its smash fitness app, Zombies, Run!. The app combines running with a narrated storyline that allows you to play the role of a survivor of the zombie apocalypse. The game studio, along with Naomi Alderman, is back with a follow-up thriller, The Walk, that tracks your steps and tells you a story as you walk.
In The Walk, you star as the survivor of an explosion on a London train. You unwittingly end up with a package that could save the world, but you need to get it out of the city. As you walk in real life, you will move about the city's map avoiding police and following the voice instructions from your faithful guide. Walking also unlocks additional audio clips and allows you to gather collectibles on the map, both of which flesh out the rest of the story.
The Walk is less immersive than its Zombies, Run! counterpart, but equally compelling. Unlike Zombies, Run!, which talks to you throughout your run, The Walk is meant for you to go for a walk, pull out your phone to find some collectibles, unlock a few audio clips and then move on. It's great for people who walk to work or school or walk for pleasure and want some rewards for the time they spend on their feet. Just like Zombies, Run!, the storyline sucks you in and encourages you to get moving, even if it's just for a short jaunt.
The Walk is available for US$2.99 from the iOS App Store.

LONDON (Reuters) - Lloyds
Prime Minister David Cameron is keen to show that Britain's part-nationalized lenders are on the mend, and a profitable sale of part of the state's 39 percent stake in Lloyds would allow him to claim at least partial success.
Royal Bank of Scotland
"It is up to the government to decide how and when to do it. I believe we have completed the first phase...the share price is now in a position where the government can return taxpayers' money at a profit," Lloyds Chief Executive Antonio Horta-Osorio told reporters.
Lloyds' shares jumped more than 7 percent to a near three-year high of 74 pence, more than one fifth above the 61 pence that the government regards as break-even on its 20.5 billion pound ($31 billion) bailout.
The bank said it was ahead of schedule on its goals for cost savings and capital strength. It raised guidance for profit margins after beating forecasts with a near trebling of first- half underlying profit to 2.9 billion pounds ($4.4 billion).
That performance, driven by higher margins and lower impairments on loans, means Lloyds can start talks with regulators about resuming shareholder payouts - seen as an important step towards the government selling its stake.
Shareholders have not received a dividend since 2008 when Lloyds agreed to rescue rival HBOS, transforming itself from a solid, high-yielding stock to a loss-making bank in need of a drastic restructuring.
Some analysts said the dividend drought could end this year.
"Improved margin guidance suggests 10-15 percent pretax profit upgrade for 2013. We remain of the view Lloyds will announce a fourth-quarter dividend in parallel with the start of the UK government placing," said Numis analyst Mike Trippitt.
Analysts expect the government to sell, or place, blocks of shares with institutional investors such as pension funds.
Lloyds assured investors it could meet any additional capital requirements without having to issue shares or bonds, unlike larger rival Barclays
Despite the forthcoming Barclays share sale in September, Britain is expected to start selling about 5 billion pounds of Lloyds shares shortly, possibly this month or next.
The government reiterated on Thursday that is has no set timetable or target price for the sale.
Lloyds is the best-performing banking stock in Europe, having more than doubled in value over the past 12 months.
On a statutory basis, Lloyds reported a profit of 2.1 billion pounds for the six months to the end of June, rebounding from a loss of 456 million a year ago, despite taking another 500 million pounds charge for the mis-selling of payment protection insurance (PPI).
Lloyds has now set aside 7.3 billion pounds to cover the mis-selling of PPI, the most of any UK bank.
The bank said it was ahead of schedule in revamping its business and it now expected to hit a group net interest margin, a measure of profitability, of 2.1 percent for 2013 compared with previous guidance of 1.98 percent.
Lloyds expects to shrink its non-core assets to under 70 billion pounds by the end of this year, 12 months ahead of schedule. Total costs will be around 9.6 billion pounds this year, 200 million less than previously indicated.

As the New Jersey Devils are preparing for the Eastern Conference Final, assistant coach Larry Robinson may have his eye on something further down the line.
Robinson's agent Don Cape told La Presse on Wednesday that the former Canadiens defenceman is open to a possible return to Montreal in some capacity and would be ready to listen to an offer.
"If there's interest on the part of the Canadiens, we will certainly listen," Cape told Richard Labbe of La Presse. "We've offered our services to the Canadiens in the past and they said no each time. I think that Larry would be very interested."
Robinson, who played 17 seasons with the Canadiens and whose No. 19 was retired by the club, is under contract to the Devils until July 1. If interested, the Canadiens would need to ask permission to contact Robinson at least until after the end of the Devils' season.
"It's the first time that I've heard talk about this story, for Larry," Devils GM Lou Lamoriello told reporters on Wednesday. "He's still under contract with us and I won't in such speculation now."
Robinson led the Devils to their second Stanley Cup championship as head coach in 2000 and also took them to the Stanley Cup Final the following season. He was also an assistant under Jacques Lemaire when the Devils won the Cup in 1995 before joining the Los Angeles Kings as head coach.

This study follows on from several previous investigations published by Greenpeace as part of its Detox campaign, which identified that hazardous chemicals are present in textile and leather products as a result of their use during manufacture.
A new investigation by Greenpeace International has found a broad range of hazardous chemicals in children's clothing and footwear produced by eight luxury fashion brands.

$492,000 for LMPD mobile data terminals presented to Mayor Abramson, Chief White Congressman John Yarmuth today presented a $492,000 check to Mayor Jerry Abramson and LMPD Chief Robert White – federal funding Yarmuth secured to purchase new in-car computers for Louisville Metro Police. The money will buy approximately 55 mobile data terminals (MDTs) and accessories such as printers and docking stations. "As Louisville continues to grow and thrive, the challenge of keeping the community safe increases. We are fortunate that our leadership and police department are absolutely committed to keeping our streets free from crime," Yarmuth said. "This funding will help law enforcement communicate more effectively, stay a step ahead of criminals and ensure that our city remains a safe place to live, work and raise a family." Mayor Jerry Abramson and LMPD Chief Robert White applauded Yarmuth's efforts. "Louisville has been named one of America's safest large cities, and one reason is because we have the right technology to help our officers do their jobs effectively," Abramson said. "In-car computers help our officers get the information they need immediately. We appreciate Congressman Yarmuth's work in helping us maintain the best policing technology." LMPD has approximately 680 MDTs. The computers allow officers to scan drivers' licenses, review dash-cam videos, retrieve maps and communicate with dispatchers and commanding officers in real time. Automated reports reduce time spent on paperwork and some documents, such as traffic citations, can be transmitted to courts within minutes. White showed the mayor and congressman how the MDTs work in a police car before Yarmuth's check presentation. "Our officers work in a fast-paced environment," White said. "Time spent filling out documents and waiting on warrants checks is time that could be spent preventing crime. MDTs have drastically improved our officers' efficiency, and we're grateful for the funds to add more computers for more officers." LMPD administrators want to have 900 MDTs outfitted in police vehicles. The city has purchased software to optimize performance on some older models, including software that will allow wireless upgrades – meaning officers will no longer have to remove the laptops from their cars to get programming updates. By the summer, officers plan to add software that will allow them to receive real-time crime data.

(WAGA/FOX)--MABLETON, Ga.- A potential and unusual murder mystery two thousand miles away has left an Atlanta family with a lot of heart-breaking questions.
A Mableton mother is searching for answers about her son's death, including why internal organs were missing from his body.
24-year-old Ryan Singleton left metro Atlanta in early July to chase his dream of becoming an actor or model in Hollywood.
Instead of dreams coming true, his mother is now living a nightmare, wondering about her son whose body turned up near one of the most inhospitable places on earth in Death Valley, California.
Iris Flowers told FOX 5'S George Franco, "He (her son) went to Las Vegas during a weekend visit and got missing in Baker, California on the way back."
Ms. Flowers learned joggers discovered Singletons' body on September 21st in the desert near Baker, California, between Las Vegas and Los Angeles.
She says she'll never forget the call from police.
Ms. Flowers said. "There were no organs. He said ma'am, there were no eyes, there was no heart, there was no lungs, there was no liver, there were no kidneys."
A spokesman for the San Bernardino County coroner's office told Franco, "Right now there is no cause of death. The body was severely decomposed. Animals might have been involved. The case has been sent to the specialized case division because it deserves more attention than we can give it."
Ms. Flowers says she was told the body was mostly intact but she has questions about what happened.
Flowers said, "I don't know of an animal that comes to a body and just picks out certain parts of the body. Ii don't think it was animal activity at all."
Ms. Flowers says Singleton left Atlanta in early July, traveled to Los Angeles in a rented car and drove to New Mexico, Arizona and Las Vegas.
She was told his car was found in the Death Valley desert a few miles from Baker. He was last seen at a gas station in Baker in July.
Singleton's body was discovered a month later.
Ms. Flowers says a friend of her son will bring his remains back later this week.
The San Bernardino County coroner's office did not give a timeline for when they will conclude their investigation.

Tendulkar's batting magnificence has been chronicled so much over the years that anything written about him generates as much passion as he does on any cricket field.
His 200-run spectacle against South Africa was another opportunity for his fans to erupt, cheer, sing and write praises.
But with such performances come expectations. So much that almost every time this champion comes in to bat, high expectations generate a sort of fear — in the stadium, homes, TV stations, internet and wherever he is revered.
If he failed to perform, disappointment and even a rare criticism would follow.
His every shot, movement and stint on the ground is monitored not by commentators and experts alone, but by every single cricket fan.

"This was a very beautiful card that came out exactly how I imagined. The paper quality was very good and the printing was amazing. Our family and friends loved it!! Would highly recommend!!"
"Very happy with the invites! The thickness of the invite was great without having to pay for an "upgrade." I am thrilled these are the ones we picked after going back and forth a few times. We chose the rounded edges which I feel gave it a little extra. I also purchased the return address labels and the tags for favors. I am pleased enough that I will definitely be purchasing the thank you notes and I can be very picky!"
"We were Christening all 3 of our Children and I wanted a neutral card but elegant @ the same time. I found this one and could not have been more pleased! The Design Specialist was able to adjust the font so that all three of my children's names were able to fit and it did not compromise the beauty of the card. Beautiful!"
"We upgraded the quality of paper which was worth the extra cost. The invites were really divine and the quality of the photo was fantastic. Everyone who received the invite all commented on how beautiful it was. I was impressed at how quickly the delivery was especially as we're in Australia. We also bought Thank You stickers which are lovely and very affordable. I highly recommend Tiny Prints!"
"I was extremely excited when I received my baptism invites in the mail. The quality was amazing especially with the photo. And the color was true to the website. Will be ordering from here again."

When Singer resident Rusty Havens heard slavery was still an issue in the world, he said he was ready to pack his bags and ship out overseas to help fight the issue.
"I was ready. I was going to go to Africa or Europe, or wherever, to do something," he said.
But he was shocked to hear that the issue was prevalent on his home turf, the United States of America.
"That just broke my heart," Havens said. "I knew I had to do something."
After researching and learning about this "slavery" in the U.S., Havens learned that the term had taken on a slightly different meaning. He said it had a different look than the chains and shackles that people recall learning about in school. This slavery was in the form of human trafficking.
"There are 300,000 people going through human trafficking in this country alone," Havens said. "Furthermore, last year, the national human trafficking hotline received 161 cases from Louisiana alone."
While 161 cases may seem like a small number in relation to the state and country population, Havens said 161 is 161 too many.
Havens works as a grassroots organizer for the International Justice Mission, gaining backing throughout the state to support legislation that helps fund organizations like IJM. One of those pieces of legislation, one co-sponsored by U.S. Sen. Mary Landrieu, D-La., is the TVPRA, or Trafficking Victims Protection Act.
Approved in 2000, TVPRA created the first comprehensive U.S. law to address human trafficking. There are many different provisions of the act including criminalizing the seizure of passports, establishing grant programs for states to combat trafficking and authorizing rapid response capacities at the Trafficking in Persons office in Washington, D.C.
With TVPRA expiring in December, Havens is working in overdrive, making people aware of the need for legislation like it. He is hopeful that the act will be reauthorized next year.
"If TVPR goes away, that will be a huge setback for this fight," Havens said.
On 7News at 6, find out why Havens is so passionate about this fight. He'll share with us the things you can do each day to help end this modern-day slavery.

GIOIA TAURO, Italy (AP) — A United States cargo vessel loaded with hundreds of tons of Syria's chemical weapons has pulled out of an Italian port, as part of the final phase of the international effort to rid Syria of its chemical weapon stockpile.
The MV Cape Ray steamed out of the port of Gioia Tauro after a 12-hour operation to transfer the chemicals from a Danish ship, the Ark Futura.
The Cape Ray is expected to head into the open sea where it will neutralize the chemicals with special machinery outfitted in its cargo hole.

An audit of Brown's 2008 re-election campaign for an at-large council seat revealed this week that Brown paid nearly $400,000 for get-out-the-vote efforts to Banner Consulting, which was owned by the treasurer of his 2004 campaign. Banner then in turn hired Partners in Learning, owned by Brown's brother Che Brown, and paid it $240,000 to provide the same services, the audit by the office of campaign finance said.
In 2004, when Brown first ran for office, a similar system ended with cash payments for his brother and father, campaign finance reports and media reports at the time show.
Three days after Brown won the Sept. 14, 2004, Democratic primary, he hired Capitol Solutions Group LLC. The company was owned by Kevin McGhaw, who had run Brown's campaign through the primary. Finance reports show the 2004 campaign has since paid $78,400 to Capitol Solutions. The majority of payments ??-- $64,000 -- were made in 2004, but the most recent was for $3,333 on July 31, 2010.
Che Brown and his father, Marshall Brown, told the Washington Post in January 2005 that Capitol Solutions paid them a total of $7,500 for working on the 2004 campaign. The two had been paid about $24,000 directly by Brown's campaign from August 2004 through May 2004, but the payments stopped after Brown's opponents criticized him because of them, media reports said.
Che Brown has not responded to requests for comment from The Washington Examiner.
Other campaigns have hired Capitol Solutions, including Linda Cropp's 2006 mayoral campaign. Finance records show the company was also sometimes reported as Capital Solutions, and when Cropp hired the company, payments totaling $382,000 were sent to Marshall Brown's address on 16th Street NW. Payments from Kwame Brown's campaigns went to a post office box in Maryland.
Attempts to reach Marshall Brown through at-large Councilman Sekou Biddle's campaign were unsuccessful Wednesday. Biddle has paid Marshall Brown $5,000 for a "salary/stipend" as Biddle fights to retain his seat in an April 26 special election.
Kwame Brown hired both companies - Capitol Solutions and Banner - at times when his campaigns appeared to need little help. In the 2005 Washington Post article, Brown said he hired Capitol Solutions even though his victory in the primary all but ensured success in the general election because he "wanted to win and get a mandate."
Brown told The Examiner Tuesday that he raised and spent $825,000 for a race when he ran uncontested in the 2008 Democratic primary because he wanted to overwhelm the opposition.
"When you talk about Kwame Brown and talk about how we campaign, we are the best ground operation this city has ever seen," he said.

Download the CodeRED Mobile Alert APP
Please take a moment to fill in the appropriate information on the signup form to be notified by your local emergency response team in the event of emergency situations or critical community alerts.
CodeRED - Emergency Notification System
September 1, 2009 the City of Alpharetta launched a "reverse 9-1-1" notification system for use during emergencies, which allows city officials the ability to deliver urgent pre-recorded emergency telephone messages to targeted areas or to the entire city at a rate of up to 60,000 calls per hour. Called CodeRED, this high-speed telephone emergency notification service can be used in the event of severe weather, hazardous materials spills, floods or other emergencies that can affect people's safety or health.
While CodeRED begins with an existing database of telephone numbers, no one should automatically assume his or her phone number is included. The following individuals are invited to add their information to the database.
• All businesses
• Residents with unlisted phone numbers
• Residents who have changed their phone number or address within the last year
• Residents who use a cellular phone as their primary phone
• Residents who have recently moved, but kept the same listed or unlisted phone number
• Residents who wish to receive text and/or email messages in addition to telephone calls
• Residents that receive their phone service over the internet
CodeRED is a geographically-based notification system, which means street addresses are needed to select which phone numbers will receive emergency notification calls in a specific emergency. An associated street address is needed for cell phone numbers.
While the system works well for most phones, the use of special downloaded ringtones on cell phones, as well as automated telephone systems that require the caller to press a key will prevent an emergency call from reaching that phone.
If voicemail or an answering machine picks up the call the system will leave a message. Caller ID will provide the phone number (866-419-5000) that you can call back to have the message repeated. For easy identification you can program this number (866-419-5000) into your cell phone.
Requested information includes first and last name, street address (physical address—no PO boxes), city, state, zip code, primary phone numbers and additional phone numbers and email address (optional). Residents and business may also choose to receive text or email messages about emergencies, in addition to telephone calls.
CodeRED gives those who want to be included an easy and secure method for doing so, and the information will only be used for emergency notification purposes. Residents and businesses may also opt out of the system entirely if they so choose. You can add your information on the CodeRED Data Collection Form. Those without Internet access may contact the Alpharetta Public Safety at 678-297-6317, Monday through Friday, 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., to request a registration form by mail.
The City of Alpharetta's Emergency Notification System
Frequently Asked Questions
What is An Emergency Notification System?
An Emergency Notification System is a system which allows government entities to contact citizens in the event of an emergency in their area. The system has several different methods of contacting citizens including traditional residential landlines, business lines, voice pagers, VoIP or digital "cable" phones, and cell phones.
Does the City of Alpharetta Have Emergency Notification System?
Yes, the City has contracted with Emergency Communications Network, Inc., of Ormond Beach, Florida, for its "CodeRED®" high-speed telephone emergency notification services. The CodeRED® system gives the City of Alpharetta the ability to deliver pre-recorded emergency telephone notification/information messages at a rate of up to 1,000 calls per minute.
How Can I Be Certain I can be Contacted?
CodeRED® updates the City of Alpharetta data-base every year. If your phone number is unlisted, you have recently moved, or if you only have a cellular phone, we may not have your information. Even if you have a listed home phone number, you should still register.
Does Code Red Support TTY/TDD for the Hearing Impaired?
Yes. When you go to register using the online form you must click on the TTY/TDD option on the bottom of the page.
What Information Do I Need to Supply?
Since the CodeRED® system works on geographical location, you must enter your physical address, city, and zip code into the system as well as the phone numbers that you wish to receive the CodeRED messages from the City of Alpharetta.
Do I have to pay extra for the CodeRED® service?
No. CodeRED® is entirely paid for by the City of Alpharetta.
Does this mean the City will be calling me constantly?
No. The City of Alpharetta respects your privacy. CodeRED® will be used only when urgent situations arise that you should know about.
Can I arrange to have CodeRED® call my place of business?
Yes. Using the online registration form be sure that when the Residential Data Collection form opens you click on the button labeled "Click to Switch to Business Data" and fill in the required information. Please note that emergency calls can only be delivered to a direct dial number. Automated attendants will disrupt the process and calls will not be delivered. You may also want to consider excluding some business numbers if you use a PBX system to avoid overloading your system when multiple calls begin coming in.

Port is a fortified wine that is made by adding brandy during fermentation. The addition of spirits kills the yeasts,
