1. Not much. There were no hard-to-believe upsets or unusual scores. Don't expect the rankings to change much based on Friday.
2. Stephenson's defense and playmakers are what we figured. Its offense remains a question mark. Stephenson coach Ron Gartrell wouldn't say this was his best team yet, but he's hinted that he's not had a better front seven on defense. Stephenson's offense still must prove that it can sustain drives and make the big throw at key moments. The Jags scored their TDs on long runs by RB Mike Davis and DB Demarcus Sweat, two of their SEC-committed players.
3. Collins Hill lives. Some wondered if Collins Hill would take this season off to recover from the graduation of QB Taylor Heinicke, who threw for more than 4,000 yards last year. Instead, CH overcame a couple of early fumbles and a 21-7 deficit and beat Roswell 24-21 as RB Jordan Parker ran for 210 yards on 27 carries. New QB Bradley Johnson threw a 31-yard TD as the game-winner. That's more offense than CH produced last year with Heinicke in a 13-9 win over Roswell. CH wound up in the state semifinals, but unranked in preseason this year because of the heavy losses.
4. Region 1-AAAAA is not in midseason form, but probably no reason for alarm. Coffee, minus star QB Will Gardner (lost for the season after suffering a knee injury last week), lost to one of AAAA's top teams, Ware County, 28-21. Valdosta beat one of AA's top teams, Brooks County, 20-11. Colquitt County beat Madison County, one of Florida Class 4A's top teams, 20-19.
5. We'll learn more today when North Gwinnett and Grayson play out-of-state opponents at North Gwinnett. It's on CSS. Those teams have already played. North Gwinnett was probably just as impressive in losing (to McEachern) as Grayson was winning (over Kell 7-0), except for the defensive part, which some say wins championships.

Colquitt County pulled one outta of there arses last night after trailing 19-10 for much of the 2nd half. Offense didn't show up to play until a minute and a half left in the game. Ty Smith came up with some huge catches on that drive, including the TD to pull within 2. Next thing you know, CC recovered an onside kick, got a few breaks on penalties against Madison Co. and we get a long field goal to win. Stats won't show it but defense kept us in the game. As many 3 and outs and short lived drives our offense had, defense did well to get a few timely turnovers despite giving up over 300 on the ground.

Roswell was small but that Parker kid was in beast mode. He is the real deal. Speed, size, and elusiveness. Fun to watch and congrats to the eagles! I was impressed by the new kid @ QB too. Accurate arm and made good decisions in and around the pocket. That TD he threw in the finals minutes was like a carbon copy image of Heinicke a year ago. If CH's line can block they will go far again. Liking what i'm seeing out of Gwinnett teams once again.

I was at the Coffee game. Coaching is everything, we got very little! Special teams errors cost the game for the Trojan. Since when does a coaching staff not teach kicking special teams that if you attempt a fieldgoal and the ball falls short, but in the field of play, it's a "live ball"….. Appaently, we don't coach/teach that at CHS!

Roswell Hornets – with the money you stiff us for to park in an overcapacity parking lot, use that money to build a section for your visiting teams. It was like sitting in a youth football stadium. If your gonna try to play with the big boys – get a big boy stadium. Class wouldn't hurt either.

Stephenson do have a young inexperience quarterback and last night I saw some growth., he will get batter as the season progresses. That Jaguar defense will be giving everybody quaterbacks something to think about, those guys (denfense) really go hard every play. To all critics about coaching should have been at the game last night, hats off to Coach Gartrell & thr entire coaching staff you did a great job coaching those guys and adjusting after halftime. NOTE: need to work on that kicking game though…

td 87..agree 100%. This is not new..the Head coach would have been gone last year if not for one board member BC? Its a joke with the fans. Last night fans were leaving in 4th because of coach E's stupid play calling etc….will it ever change with the good old boy system in Douglas. Everyone wants a winning program but "politics two are three" settles for a stupid coach. I wouldn't let my dog play with Coach E.
August 27th, 2011
4:13 pm
I saw a lot of potential last night. I am a fan of coach g. He has the talent to do some damage, but players were often out of position and "home run" touchdowns don't win championships. They are very talented but the secondary needs a lot of work. Front seven made a lot of strong plays, but misdirection killed them a couple of times. Also, the middle 10+ yard passes is another area of weakness. Parkview is not a cake walk, but no way should they have been in the game, With all of the talent on the front 7, I would blitz 70% of the time. The team is too talented to not play man coverage, unless DBs can't cover?
August 27th, 2011
4:54 pm
Grayson won a game last week 7-0, but no one said grayson was terrible. Stephenson win 14-3 and the coaches are horriffic. Both teams have alot of D1 talent the difference is Stephenson has more critics. Parkview cross the 50 once and got 3 points Stephenson crossed the 50 4-5 times. Our play calling is simple but simple wins championships. Camden, lowndes brookwood all run the ball. The difference is stephenson has critics. We won and we have room to improve and that speaks volumes of where this team can go. a word to all stephenson's critics thanks for coming to the game and come again.
August 27th, 2011
4:58 pm
Sad but true, What game were you watching again? Parkview barely had 100 yards total offense they ran one reverse and got yards, they crossed the 50 once and got 3 points come on guys lets tell the truth. yes we need to improve on some things but at this stage of the season so does everyone.
August 27th, 2011

JAB What I know is that most of the Stephenson coaches and players spell and talk like you do and thats why even with all that so called talent they never make it past the first or second round of the playoffs.

bksmith14 the topic was that we can play defense. in the last 10 years there has only be 1 champion per classification so their are alot of non champs in georgia. if you dont like us who cares go kick rocks but with each new year comes new opportunities. talk to me in december
August 27th, 2011

Lets be real people. if you cant score then you cant win. I cant see Stephenson beating MLK this year. Im not dogging Stephenson but MLK has to many weapons. They can use a little help on the O-Line though. But they have two dog receivers in Blake Tibbs and # 10 and I heard that Carnell Boyd from Westlake goes to MLK. along with Jordan moore WOW

August 27th, 2011

I hope MLK does well but they havent done anything yet. Their offense was awesome last year but the defense was average. Just because they got a lot of transfers to their program is no guarantee of anything. It takes chemistry, heart, coaching,athletic ablilty and a little bit of luck to win a title.
August 27th, 2011
8:50 pm
Good luck to Stephensen this year but the Jags will only go as far as their quarterback can take them. The Stephensen quarterback does not need to be a star but he needs to learn quickly how to manage the game.
August 27th, 2011
8:51 pm
SHS and Parkview both played well last night. I was encouraged by Coach G's relentless efforts to put the ball in the air. Yes we have a beast of a running back and Coach G was not bashful in letting him get his carries but we had to have left 21 points on the field from the passing game. By the way the kid going to Kentucky, Demarcus Sweat, is a monster in his own right. When he and the QB get on the same page, it'll be 'pick your poision' time for the opposition!
August 27th, 2011

Stephenson will never win a state championship, much less play for it. Not with the current coaching staff. They always manage to get outcoached. Can you imagine if one of the great 1AAAAA coaches led Stephenson??

Some of these guys who are writing evidently don't understand football, defense win championship. Stephenson defense crushed parkview , sure they had a couple of good runs in the 3rd qtr. because cecil flowe is a good coach, he went in half time and came out jumpingh but when they got in the redzone Stephenson defense stopped them; that's what good teams do! Stephenson is still developing it's offense. Most of their D1 players are on defense. The Jags are alright and all of you haters focus on what the coaches is doing over there in 2011. It's a new year, give the coaches some credit…

I have waited 24 hours before commenting on the Coffee/Ware game. I am that put off by it. Ware is big and good. Coffee is smaller but better. If, and I say if. The Coffee coaches dig out the football rules 101 book and read it, it will be a rough week of practice on fundamentals. On a 55 yard field goal attempt, Coffee had no on cover downfield. All players AND the coaches stood on the sideline and watched the squib kick get picked up on the one yard yard and ran back deep into Coffee territory. Leading to a Ware score.
On a short Ware kickoff of about 20 yards that feel fair right in front of the Coffee bench. The Coffee coaches waived everyone away from the ball. Which a ware player, after standing and staring in amazement at the Coffee organization. Fell on and recovered the kick. Leading to a Ware touchdown.
After an amazing comeback by Coffee late in the game. Coffee attempted an onside kick. Coffee lined up everyone on the right side. Ware lined up in front of them far toward the sideline leaving the entire two-thirds of the field to the kickers left uncovered, with no one deep. Instead of kicking the ball to the left and, picking it up and walking in for a TD the Coffee kicker kicked the ball straight to the right, square into the arms of eleven ware receivers.
Ware ran three plays 80%of the time. Two simple traps and a sideline pass to the same receiver on the same side on the same route. Coffee never adjusted.
Coffee's defense was on the field 19 of 24 minutes in the first half yet trailed only 20-17 at the half.
Can anyone say COACHING????????????

North Gwinnett defense looked pretty good against a very fast E St. Louis team. The Dawgs put enough Georgia 5A hits on the Flyers so that I doubt they will ever want to make a trip to Georgia again.
It is going to be another year of exciting High School football in Georgia

Good people the title of this article is " What we learned in AAAAA, Cllins Hills live, Stephenson plays D". This isn't about how many points were scored on Offense, but how Stephensons Defense didn't allow any touchdowns. I am sure you have to be impressed in what the defense did. For you to say that Parkview is a doormat it's obivious you have no idea of what Parkview history is… They are a re good team.
Moving forward, it was an emotional game on both sides of the ball. I think penalities hurt PArkview on some key drives and not connecting with some open recievers when they had their opportunity, otherwise the game could have easily been the other way around. But the good news is, that it was the first game for the Jags and room for improvement. I think you will see a different mentalilty in coaching this year. I am looking forward to the game against Cedar Grove. Cedar Grove runs a spread offense 1 of several teams the Jags will face this year. It will be interesting in seeing how they handle this offense. Cedar Grove has a GOOD QB! Come out and see what this game entels. I am sure some Stephenson critics will be in attendence probably some from the community. Anyway whatever you do, continue to pay your money at the gate and come back on the blog to critize on SSunday or Monday. Thank you for your support.
Have a nice day

NG rolls and puts up a zero against a very good and VERY athletic East St. Louis team. I didnt see the second half because CSS SUCKS with broadcasting, but the first half was all i needed to see from NG's offense. Couldn't believe my eyes how fast we were putting it in the end zone. East St. Louis was plagued with penalties, but in the first half they were all legit ones. They played sloppy and still out gained NG in total yards for the first half. That just shows how good of a team they are (ranked #1 in the highest classification in the state of Illinois.). Defense was chasing people all over the place and giving up some yards, but held on to the goose egg. Very proud and impressed with the complete team effort. Grayson and NG came out big on top in defending this great state. GO DAWGS.
August 28th, 2011

All the teams that win championships how many of them have college bound players??? Or if they coach even helps them play on the next level as Stephenson coach does? Coach G loves the game and its not like they dont play against good teams in the playoffs and its not like they get blown out the teams thats making it out the first round the people you play in the regular season are teams Stephenson cant play cause they are below class I would love to see Stephenson vs South G or Grayson in the regular season and when they beat them see what everybody has to say Stephenson needs to work on their O-line and quaterback under pressure but thats about it in the secondary that wont take long

I hate to say it, but Valdosta's offense looks terrible this year. It is the beginning of the year, and they did lose like 40 seniors last year, but still….This is definitely looking to be a down year for them.
August 28th, 2011
3:41 pm
To all of those posting about Stephenson and how many kids get sent to college, we all get it. We have heard it for YEARS. However this is a bolg about the current season and the quest for a Championship ring. Your team will not get any respect untill you have one. Then you will become a target that every one loves to hate. SO PLEASE LET IT GO ABOUT ALL THE THAT ARE SENT ON TO THE NEXT LEVEL…….PLEASE
August 28th, 2011
4:10 pm
I personally would like to see stephenson open up their offense a bit more and get those great athletic players in space..that wing t offense does them no justification..let the likes of marist run that type of offense..but come on when you have speed and athleticism like stephenson has you have to get the playmakers out in space.
August 28th, 2011
4:16 pm
@Roswell Fan.. Roswell shouldn't bragg about a State Championships with a astrik by it. From what I know of it Peachtree Ridge should have been awarded the title outright that year. So since its a sharedshared title that means the hornets are half of what the real champions are???
August 28th, 2011
5:00 pm
For anyone that wacthed the game stephenson really should have won by 24-3 or 28-3 but they left some points off the board and that Sweat Is a real domiant playmaker who caught some nice passes Also Coach Gatrell is now passing the ball more and the New OB #10 Show alot of posie and more comfort throwing the ball this week as he probly found out that he can count on #19 Sweat being his #1 recieve and as far as O-Line they need a bit more work but they have that nasty #71 and more improvement from #77 also this game. Then they also trying to get some work in on #64 from what ive heard and let him get in the rotation as that a big boy i believe they saido n annoucment he was 6-8 315 lbs. and then also ive also heard that #59 was out for a while hurt and once he back which should be next week or tift county from sources they have a good Right Tackle back and they form a solid O-Line consiting of 64,71,77,75,59 giving thoose 2 DT #55, 53 that seem like they went both ways during the game Friday night alot more breaks n rest allowing them in the 4th quarter to still me dogs to opposing offenses
August 28th, 2011
8:10 pm
From the Hill – Look back in football history, Roswell has two other State Champions in Football other than the tie with P'tree Ridge. I still think a half is better than a never was, don't you? This subject is close, Have a Great season.
August 28th, 2011

stephenson players have a target on there backs from gwinnett county cry babies mainly parkview who team is not good. so now all the gwinnett teams will have to pay for crying. starting with grayson robert nicheghe whatever his name is he ineligbal his father move out of district he lives with the coach blind side wanna be and to the 10 players who transfer to south gwinnet who all live in dekalb. grayson should be forced to forfeit all the games and south gwinnett and all cobb if u want to hate on stephenson players

From the stats that I have read, Parviews defense only gave up 1 touchdown and their special teams 1 touchdown. Yes Stephenson did win, and yes they did put up 14, but let's not open the trophy case. The statement was made that defense wins championships, ask Brookwood, Camden and Lowndes, I would add Parkview, the differnce is these temas had an offense as well. So they were well balanced. At this point Stephenson has not met a balanced attack, they are relying on that front 7, which may be the best in Ga. There are quite a few games remaining in this season and rest is going to be paramount. All kind of things can go wrong. Until Stephensons offense comes around, there will be doubters out there. Don't be so quick to get riled up when they post. Facts are facts rather good or bad. Yes Stephenson does play defense. Collins Hill did live.

Stephenson High Jaguars keep NFL powerhouse record going
Written by Joshua Smith
STONE MOUNTAIN—The Stephenson High School Jaguars have one more reason to be proud. Kelvin Sheppard is the most recent Jaguar to be drafted by the NFL.
L-R: Jermaine Cunningham, Kelvin Sheppard and Perry Riley, all from Stephenson High's class of 2005, continue to demonstrate their talents as NFL picks.
Sheppard and two other Jaguars from the Class of 2005—Jermaine Cunningham and Perry Riley—got together recently to watch the NFL draft during a barbecue at the Sheppard family's home.
Tamra Sheppard, executive Metro Pre-School Director of the YMCA, beamed with pride over her son's induction into the NFL.
"It was very exciting to have our family and friends come together for the celebration, and it was especially nice to have Jermaine and Perry come because they too made the NFL and were all in the same graduating class at Stephenson," said Tamra Sheppard.
Stephenson's head coach, Ron Gartrell, doesn't know what to make of three teammates from the same graduating class making the NFL, but he says he is proud of Stephenson's track record.
Stephenson has birthed eight Jaguars who have gone on to play on the professional level. Besides the NFL, the Canadian Football League has also picked up some Jags, including Canadian Football League Champion, Sean Lucas.
"I've been coaching here since the school's first game in 1996. It really touches me to see our guys go to the NFL and any professional league because they are making a career off a game they love," Gartrell said. "But it's not all about the NFL. You have to appreciate this game and other sports that basically give you a free education into whatever field you are interested in when you get off the football field."
Sheppard was selected by the Buffalo Bills in the third round as the 68th pick in this year's draft. While a Jaguar, Sheppard recorded 102 tackles and 10 sacks.
A December graduate of Louisiana State University, Sheppard finished his college career with 311 tackles, ninth in school history and was named All-Southeastern Conference in 2010.
Fellow teammates Cunningham and Riley were drafted last year to the NFL. Riley, who played linebacker with Sheppard at LSU, was selected by the Washington Redskins in the fourth round of the 2010 draft, the 103rd pick overall. Cunningham, who attended University of Florida, was picked by the New England Patriots in the second round (53rd overall) in the 2010 NFL draft.
The three, plus Marcus Ball, were part of a highly talented defensive squad at Stephenson.
As a Jaguar senior, Riley recorded 131 tackles, four interceptions, two sacks, five tackles for loss and one defensive touchdown.
At Stephenson, Cunningham averaged 15 tackles per game, and recorded 25 sacks as a team captain in his senior year.
"They were all great guys and played with respect for our staff. We didn't just teach them wins and loses, but skills of leadership, communication and responsibility," Gartrell said. "We want to build the best men we possibly can on and off the field, that goes for all of our players."

Stephenson Finest ….with all that talent it's a shame that the powers to be will not go out and find a proven coach, if this happened we could all be a bit more respectful of the Program. There is no telling how far that program could go, & amass some championship rings….Just a little something for u to knaw on

SteStephenson Finest
And your point? This is not about then, this is about now. Plenty of schools can post the same article. These guy's have the same thing in common. I am sure these young men will do very well in the NFL. We all know Stephenson's track record during the regular season, but we also know the track record in the playoffs.

STUART -- The 23-year-old Palm City woman who was injured in a hit-and-run accident on Dec. 9 is an assistant in the private law offices of Stuart Mayor Eula Clarke.
And as police continued last week to seek the driver who struck Chariti Thomas, Mayor Clarke joined in the call for information.
"We're just hurting right now," she said. "Chariti is a very calm, quiet and focused young lady. Her ways are just like her name. She's a very caring and giving person."
Ms. Thomas is recovering at St. Mary's Medical Center in West Palm Beach after a driver struck her then fled the scene.
The incident took place around 2 a.m. at the intersection of Southeast Federal Highway and Contractor's Way.
Ms. Thomas was walking when the vehicle hit her. Police said the driver is a "heavy-set" black woman.
"The (suspect's) vehicle may possibly be a light blue or silver-colored larger vehicle, possibly a minivan, SUV," Stuart Police spokesman Michael Pope said in a press release.
"The female was observed exiting the vehicle and removing an infant child seat from the front passenger seat and placing it in the back seat. She then got back into the van and drove away, last seen driving north on U.S. 1. The vehicle possibly has damage to the right front bumper and passenger side mirror, (as well as) airbag deployment."
The accident left Ms. Thomas with broken ribs and a broken arm, Mayor Clarke said.
Emergency medical responders flew her to Palm Beach for treatment.
Police issued a second call for assistance on Dec. 13.
Anyone with information should call Detective Heather Rothe on (772) 220-3923 or Treasure Coast Crime Stoppers on (800) 273-8477.
"It's sad that she's hurt and it's sad that we don't know who did it," Mayor Clarke said. "I'm grateful that she's still alive, and that she will move on to bigger and better things."

New Kid.1 Reviews
Well, I have no idea who this kid is, but I may as well introduce myself, afterall, the guys aren't gonna give me a choice.
"Hey Frank!" Bob practically shouts. I groan and say,
"gyhjskfgsdjfgsdkdsg" Bob nods, understanding my no coffee morning voice. Ray looks in the rearview,
"Tim Horton's anyone?" I nod quickly and Bob giggles. Big tough Bob giggles.
We start driving in the shitty little beetle car, and I giggle to myself thinking there is gonna be a new kid, and the bullies are either gonna have a new best friend, or some fresh meat.
I get shoved into lockers, and I get tied and I have actually been raped. Yeah.... we live in a shitty town, and with shitty people.
I am so freaking happy I grew up with these two.
After we hit timmys, we head to school.
"Ray! Got a smoke?" Ray nods and tosses a pack back. I take two and hand one to Bob.
I am now energized from my coffee fix, and I am ready to take on a shitty day.
I open the big doors, and names are immediately sent my way. I just shrink in to myself and hide behind Bob. Bob just glares at every asshole who bothers me. I have always been fragile and I am indeed gay, so people just love to bother me. I remember a time when it was me Ray and Bob alone in the halls and some jocks decided to mess with us. The two strongest ones went after Ray and Bob, and Ray and Bob fought them. Knowing that they were busy, the smallest and cockiest one of the group came after me. Lovely right?
So the kid just beat the living fuck out of me, and Ray and Bob came out with alot of bruises, but no blood. We just skipped our classes that day and went home. Bob sat in the back of the car with me, I crying on his shoulder.
Ray and Bob are in the High School division, and I being only 11.... had the Middle School division.
I hate being the youngest. But I guess that is how it is. The guys still treat me like a child, with a smoke habit.
Oh and when I was raped, I had been raped by one of the high school students. Love my life.

Huffington Post reports:
A small bomb exploded outside a Planned Parenthood clinic in Grand Chute, Wis., on Sunday night, and police are investigating to learn who planted the device.
Planned Parenthood Logo
According to WGBA-TV, police fire crews found the homemade explosive outside a window sill that they believe had set off a small fire, which burned out before fire crews arrived. The building sustained a small amount of damage.
The FBI has joined with the local police department to investigate the bombing. Leonard Peace, a spokesman for the FBI's Milwaukee Division, told The Huffington Post that the agency was notified of the incident on Sunday evening and initiated an investigation on Monday.
"The information that I have is that an unknown suspect placed a device at that location last evening, approximately 7:30 p.m.," Peace said. "The device caused minimal fire damage to the facility. At this point in time, we're reviewing the evidence to determine exactly what type of device it was."
Grand Chute Police Chief Greg Peterson told the Appleton Post Crescent that the bomb was made out of a plastic bottle and chemicals and "included agents of an incendiary quality." He added that he had not heard of any threats to the clinic prior to Sunday's incident.
Planned Parenthood has 27 health centers in Wisconsin, and three of them, including the clinic that was bombed, offer abortion services. The fire from the bomb caused minimal damage to one of the exam rooms in the clinic, which is scheduled to reopen on Tuesday, said Teri Huyck, president and CEO of Planned Parenthood of Wisconsin.
According to the most recent statistics from the National Abortion Federation, there were 114 violent attacks against abortion providers in 2011, including three physical assaults, one bombing, one incident of arson, 27 counts of vandalism and eight burglaries.

In March, Facebook announced the program with much fanfare, then noted that it was only available to clients who had managed advertising accounts (the big dogs). So, the rest of us waited patiently.
A few hours ago, Facebook added several new posts to their marketing page promoting Offers! Yes, the same program they promoted months ago, but this time it's open to all — ish.
Offers are available in beta to a limited number of local business Pages. We plan to launch offers more broadly soon. If you'd like to post offers but your Page doesn't have the option to yet, let the Pages team know.
Again, with the limited beta. I checked the Pages I managed and nada. Check yours. Go to a post blank and look for a yellow box next to the Events option.
If you see the box on your page, go buy a lottery ticket.
Skimming the comments on the post, there's not a one that says "yeah!" They're all questions or complaints about the missing tab. So I ask, why does Facebook do this? Why promote a program that few people can access? They have to know that it will cause a storm of angry and confused responses.
I think Facebook's Offers program is a great idea. With careful use, it could be an excellent tool for small businesses to help them increase sales and awareness. But if everyone's annoyed before it even starts, what's the point?
Facebook, you know the rule. You can't hand out treats to a chosen few. You have enough to share with the whole class.

The ndial combines automated sampling and sequencing with manual controls to navigate sound worlds in unpredictable ways. The system selects samples at random from a live or prerecorded source and maps them to a hardware interface—an 8-step sequencer that goes around instead of along. The interface can match pulses, record live samples, reorganize patterns, add effects, and reanimate performances in real time. Recordings are explored out of order, and because control of the content is limited, preconceived strategies give way to the matters at hand.
The ndial is designed for use with the onism software system. Four ndials were used in the large-scale performance-game, Reconsidering the Pattern in Light of the System. Performing with the ndial is called nterplay. A typical nterplay lasts between 8-15 minutes with each ndial drawing from one sound world—a recording, song, speech or live input. nterplays are flexible and game-like and can involve anywhere from 1 to 4 ndialists. nterplays are kind of like concerts and kind of like games, somewhere in between.

It's a video just about everyone has seen - dash cam video of the shooting of Milton Hall, the homeless man shot and killed by Saginaw police. The shooting brought to light failures in police dash cam equipment and its use during incidents.
Now the department is changing its policy regarding cameras in vehicles.
The former policy required officers to record all interactions with citizens, no matter how minor.
Under the new policy, officers will the use the dash cam for traffic stops, crimes in progress and vehicle pursuits.
Officials say the reason for the change was the process to upload all video took too long.
Now officers will turn on the camera when they believe a situation should be recorded.
These new changes may raise some eyebrows.
During the investigation into the shooting of Hall, when two of the three officers were disciplined, it was for not operating their dash cam equipment properly.
Some residents don't agree with the new policy. Still, officials believe it can be effective.
"Just from an efficiency standpoint, we want to record any event because we would like to show what transpired," said Lt. Paul Crane with the Saginaw Police Department. "We believe that's in the officers' best interest. It's going to help the officers in those situations, but again you have to make it so the system is working efficiency and actually take advantage of what it does."
Supervisors would also be required to review those recordings on a quarterly basis to ensure officers are doing what's required.

While the official purpose of this ride is to raise money and spread awareness for Multiple Sclerosis, his ride is also sending another message – one of leading a healthy life supplemented by exercise and good nutrition.

Electrolyte Replacement Drinks are crucial to cycling success. Photo by BurningKarma.
Nutrition is a huge part of cycling. Without proper nutrition, you will be unable to maintain a steady pace and your performance will be much poorer than what it should be. One of the most important parts of your nutritional plan is the electrolyte replacement drink you consume during your rides.
The world of electrolyte replacement drinks is very big, and there are a multitude of options on the market. Most riders have favorites which they prefer to drink. However, as a relatively new cyclist, I am still trying to find my favorite brand of electrolyte replacement drink.
As a result, I've turned to you guys, the loyal readers of MikeMartinRacing.com. What are your favorite electrolyte replacement drinks? I know some are better than others, and rather than constantly change my program trying to find the best brand, I'm asking you what yours is. Your responses will greatly impact my choice of electrolyte replacement drink heading into the near future, so don't forget to leave your reply in the comments.

7 Ways to Make Your Motocross Training More Effective
February 20th, 2009 • Comments Cycling/Fitness
Tags: cycling, Cycling/Fitness, motocross, rollers, training
Training is a crucial part of motocross racing. It is impossible to be successful in motocross without a vigorous and effective training routine. Being fit allows you to push harder and last longer which can be extremely beneficial at rough tracks such as Southwick. Motocross is a physically demanding sport and being in excellent shape can have lasting effects on your performance.
However, most motocross athletes are novices to training. They are unaware of how to workout and how to make it as affective as possible. Here are seven ways to make your motocross training more effective.
Eat Right
I have found that most amateur motocross are notoriously bad eaters. Maybe this is as a result of the heavy influence of the energy drink market, or maybe it is due to the nutritionally lacking food sold by vendors at the races, or maybe it is a result of the fact that many motocross riders are teenagers, who also, notoriously eat badly. Regardless of the reason though, many motocross riders eat poorly, which has a significant negative impact on our training.
As a result, if you want to maximize the effect your training has on your fitness, eat right. Eating right can be an incredible task, and I am not going to begin to cover it all here, but there are some tips which should get you on the right path to eating healthier.
- Go Organic: Organic foods contain less chemicals, more nutrients and are ultimately better for your body. They allow you to maximize the nutritional value from your food and minimize the damaging chemicals found in many of todays foods. Thankfully, organic foods are clearly labeled and can be found at many big grocery stores including Wal-Mart, Stop and Shop and, obviously, Whole Foods.
- Eat a Big Breakfast: Eating a big breakfast prevents mid morning snacks and helps to carry you throughout your entire day nutritionally. Don't skimp on breakfast, its an important nutritional step in your day.
- Don't drink your calories: Calories in a liquid format go down much easier than in solid food. Furthermore, sugary drinks such as soda contain incredible amounts of sugar and calories an considerable decrease the effectiveness of your training.
These are just a few of the ways to help improve your eating habits. In the future, I will go over the many other ways, but those are a few tips to help you get started improving your diet.
Recover After Hard Workouts
There is no way around it, intense workouts take a toll on your body. Whether cycling, running or lifting, exercising puts a toll on your muslces, your bones, your joints, and ultimately your mind. Almost as important as actually working out is the recovery days in between tough work outs. Whether you choose to take a day off to recover, or simply take it easy, recovery days can do wonders for your fitness.
Recovery days allow your your muscles to rest and repair themselves for another hard day. In addition, they allow your mind to rest and get recharged for another hard day in the gym or on the bike. Finally, taking an occasional day off gives you time to do other things that are crucial to your motocross success.
Take a day off from cycling to work on your bike, do a few extra laps at the practice track, get organized for the weekend or spend some time resting your mind and getting yourself in a good mental position to perform at your best during the race weekend.
Recovery is almost as important as actually exercising and without it your training routine is simply doing harm to your body and is not actually allowing your fitness to improve.
Take Your Training Indoors
We all love sunny weather. It makes running and cycling much more enjoyable and ultimately motivates us more to get out there and exercise. However, it is not always sunny out. Whether rain, snow, ice, or wind, in New England adverse weather is unavoidable.
But, this does not mean that your training routine must be put on hold while the weather is holding you up indoors. There are a number of ways to continue training inside your home. Even if you cannot get to the gym, the show much go on as far as your training goes, here are a few ways to go that.
- Rollers or a trainer: Rollers and trainers are excellent ways to take your cycling training indoors. Rollers help to increase your straight line stability and trainers can significantly increase the overall power of your pedal stroke. Both devices can easily be used indoors, regardless of the weather.
- Push Ups and Sit Ups: Most people who spend a lot of time in the gym overlook push ups and sit ups as a waste of time because the effects are not as noticeable and they obviously put much less resistance on your muscles. However, the fact is that when done right, they can be very beneficial to your overall fitness. In order to maximize the effect, do many sets of many reps, do your reps slow, and don't allow too much recovery time in between sets. While push ups and sit ups will never be as effective as lifting, they can be a great alternative if you are stuck inside.
- Recover: I just went over how beneficial recovery is to your training. So, if your stuck inside due to inclement weather, take a day to recover so you can come back rested and recharged when the weather improves.
Find a Workout Buddy
One of the toughest parts about keeping your motocross training effective is working out when you plan to. There is no denying that some days, you just don't feel like getting on the bike and putting in a hard 60 mile ride. This is where a workout buddy comes in. Having a friend to work out with is a great way to stay motivated.
Working out with a friend as opposed to doing your exercises solo can benefit your training in a number of ways. Not only does planning workouts with a buddy keep you on track and makes skipping a workout less convenient, but exercising with a friend can be incredibly motivating.
While running, riding, or lifting by yourself, it is too easy to give up when the going gets tough and let up while in the middle of a tough climb. I'm not saying everyone will give in, but the vast majority will, and this limits how effective your training can be. Thankfully, working out with a partner can help to eliminate this and as a pair you can push yourself to new levels and allow you to go further on the bike, running, or in the gym than you ever thought you could.
Develop a Schedule
Another tip to help prevent missed workouts, developing a schedule can be infinitely useful in keeping your training on track. Formulating a set in stone schedule not only allows you to easily plan around when you will be working out, it also allows your body to adjust to your workout/recovery cycle. A predetermined schedule prevents you from the dangerous cycle of extremely hard periods of training followed by extended periods of rest. Instead, having a good schedule can ensure that you get a consistent amount of training in week in and week out.
Furthermore, having a schedule can make your life easier when it is time to increase your training regime. With a good solid schedule as a starting point, it is easier to add a number of miles to certain days when you know you feel the freshest in your week.
I strongly feel that most athletes do not plan their training regime enough and rather just train when they feel like it which is both inefficient and can be quite dangerous.
Push Yourself To the Edge
While it is important to ensure that your training and your workouts are all done safely and within your own personal limits, it is equally important to take certain days out of your schedule and really push yourself to the bitter edge. It is almost impossible to ever improve in your fitness if you always ride within your comfort level. Instead, it is crucial to push yourself as far as you can, essentially to the verge of failure.
This will benefeit your training in a number of ways. Not only will it test your body so you know exactly how much your training has improved your fitness, but it also pushes your muslces to an area of fatigue that they are not adjusted too which makes it easier to go to that same level next time. Essentially, this will ultimately allow you to increase your lactate threshold which helps build stronger muscles and ultimately increases your fitness. Here are a few ways for you to push your training to a whole new level.
Cario Exercises (running/cycling):
- Distance: Manny cardio athletes have a certain distance they are comfortable with. For me, this is about 60 miles cycling and 3 miles running (I don't run a lot). One way to push yourself to the edge is to increase this distance. The key, however, is to not give up. Many people would be surprised to see how far they can actually ride/run, and the key is to push yourself up the last hill on your ride and push yourself to spring the last 100m after a long run. It is tough to do, and takes a certain amount of mental integrity, but can have an incredible effect on your fitness.
- Hills: Every cyclist and running dreads hills. They take an incredible amout of extra energy and force your body to push it self beyond its comfort zone. However, as a result riding hills can increase your fitness far beyond the normal riding. Try to find a loop around your home with a number of long, steep hills in quick recession to really test and improve your fitness.
- Workout with someone stronger: When your workout by yourself, you naturally get into a comfort level and it is very hard to push yourself past this. However, working out with a friend who is stronger and more fit than you can have great effects on your training intensity. Working out as a pair can help motivated you and help push yourself when you are struggling. As motocross racers, we are all incredibly competitive and mentally we have a hard time letting someone beat us up a hill or through a flat. There is almost no more affective way to push your training to a new level then training with someone who is stronger than you.
Strength Training (Lifting):
- More weight: Obviously the more weight you lift, the stronger you get and the more you can push your body. However, you must be careful with this technique. It is easy to lift too much and severely hurt your muscles. So, if you choose to increase your weight in your weight training, please be sure not to push yourself too far or you could find yourself unable to ride motocross for weeks or even months.
- More Reps: An extremely effective way to increase your fitness using weight training is to increase the number of reps you do with the same amount of weight. This is a very safe way to increase your fitness and can build strong, lean, and efficient muscles which can be very beneficial to your motocross riding.
Variety in Your Routine
It is both physically and mentally draining to do the same type of workouts day in and day out. It is hard to get motivated for a road bike ride when you know you'll just have to climb the same hills, tuck in the same descents and deal with the same stoplights. It is much easier to get excited to workout for a new ride or run with new features to test your body in different ways. This is why it is almost crucial to build variety into your workout routine. Variety helps keeps you mentally and physically fresh and prevents you from burning out and abandoning your intense training schedule all together.
Here are a few ways to build variety into your workout schedule:
- Different exercises: Mix it up. Lift one day, cycle the next and run on the others. Depending on what you enjoy doing, favor your schedule to that activity, but always be sure to do a little bit of what you don't enjoy as much. Not only will it make your favored activity even better but it will help to build different muscles which otherwise would go ignored.
- Different routes: Map out a number of routes on Google Maps and print them out. Cycle them throughout your training schedule to keep it fresh and exciting.
- Different time of day: Depending on your schedule, this method may or may not be possible, however, riding/running/lifting at different times of day can add a ton of variety to your training. Cycling/running in the morning is a totally different experience than in the evening and can make your training unique even if the route and intensity are exactly the same.
- Recover: I've said it before, and I'll say it again and again, because it is incredibly important. Recovery is crucial in your training routine and your hard work is wasted if you don't give your muscles time to re-grow, get stronger and prepare themselves for the next days workout. Make sure to include one or two days a week for recovery so that you are not constantly beating your body into the ground.
Training for motocross can be monotonous, painful, and sometimes ineffective if done incorrectly. However, there are a number of tips to help make your motocross training not only more effective, but more importantly more enjoyable which will help motivate you to train more, preventing burnout and maximizing your results to have the largest effect on the motocross track.

Bayern boss Jupp Heynckes hails his men for "clever" performance against Barcelona
5/2/13 in Soccer | JamesSmith23 | 1413 respect
It appears as if Jupp Heynckes has planned to win all major silverware before leaving the helm for Pep Guardiola this summer. The Bayern Munich manager routed Barcelona 7-0 on aggregate to reach the Champions League final once again. Bayern Munich has now reached the Champions League final for a third time in the past four years.
Jupp Heynckes and Co. will now have to face Borussia Dortmund in an all-German Champions League final at Wembley on May 25. Jupp Heynckes admitted it had been a hard fought battle for the European honors. The German boss praised his men for their "clever" performance against Barcelona, but confessed that the Spanish side struggled to record their best in the absence of Lionel Messi.
The Argentinean goalscoring machine Lionel Messi was deemed unfit before the second leg of the Champions League semifinal. The Barcelona forward spent the whole game watching his side get humiliated from the bench.
"I think it was clearly noticeable that my team entered this game extremely focused," Jupp Heynckes said in his post-match interview. "We played great right from the start. However, there is no denying it – Barcelona is a different team without (Lionel) Messi.
"Still, I am sure no one expected us to win 7-0 on aggregate. I would not say that we witnessed an end of an era tonight. Barcelona were missing a lot of players and we showed a clever performance."
Jupp Heynckes and Co. can acquire treble this season. Bayern Munich has already won the Bundesliga title and are now in the Champions League against Borussia Dortmund and in the DFB Pokal final against Stuttgart.
Seems like, Jupp Heynckes planned to bag all major honors at Bayern Munich before ending his tenure at the club.
"This team really pulls together. We get through outstanding work together, and we're tremendously hungry for success," Heynckes said. "Both games have shown we're capable of football at a very high level.
"We're playing extremely high-speed football, we're very well organized, we're tactically smart, we close down the space, and our transitions are functioning perfectly this season. We're a real team, from the front to the back."
Due to his immense success at Bayern Munich over the last couple of years, top notch European clubs such as Chelsea and Real Madrid are looking into making him their manager this summer.

ECHOTONE is an honest, beautiful, and raw look at the Austin music scene over the last few years and the issues threatening the industry that has built a name for our city. It presents a compelling story of change and struggle, relevant to many cities and cultures all across the country.
The film will be premiering at the Austin Film Festival next weekend, October 23rd, at 1pm at the Alamo Ritz Downtown.
If you love Austin and/or Austin music, you will love this film. Please watch the trailer on their website, go see the film when it is screening, and support this phenomenal project.
"Internationally known as 'The Live Music Capital of the World,' Austin's music culture has led it to become one of the world's most sought-after destinations. As nearly two dozen high-rises pop up throughout the city amidst economic downfall, how does the working musician get along? This lyrical documentary provides a telescopic view into the lives of Austin's vibrant young musicians as they grapple with questions of artistic integrity, commercialism, experimentation, and the future of their beloved city. Directed by Nathan Christ and photographed by Robert Garza, Echotone is a cultural portrait of the modern American city examined through the lyrics and lens of its creative class."

Gallery: The Ten Hottest Android Tablets For Kids And Education
Summary: The iPad and iPod Touch have been huge hits with children and schools. But there's a new wave of Android devices and tablets created by vendors taking advantage of Android's open-ness to create devices tailored specially for kids and teachers. Updated Sept. 27, 2012.
11 of 11Image
Tabeo, Kurio, Nabi and now the Kuno: what's with all of the tablets that sound like sushi restaurants? Seriously, the Kuno 3 is a 10-inch tablet running Ice Cream Sandwich on top of a 1.2 GHz ARM A8 chip, 1 GB RAM, and 16 GB of storage. And it costs about $500 to schools.
So what makes the Kuno stand out? Apparently, the CurriculumLoft software from the Indianapolis company of the same name that makes the Kuno. CurriculumLoft helps teachers manage their classrooms, and helps the school's techies manage the Kuno tablets.
That combination has helped the Kuno get deployed by a number of districts. Martin Elementary in Illinois is rolling out 1,200 Kunos, while San Felipe Del Rio District in Texas is rolling out 1,600 Kunos. See my Google map of tablet deployments, fall 2012, to see a number of others.
I plan to interview the executives of Kuno on Thursday, Sept. 13, so if you have any questions, please tweet them to me at @ericylai or e-mail me at email@example.com.
The VINCI Tab II M is a new $169, 5-inch tablet from a company, Rullingnet Corp. that released its first 7-inch version a year ago. The smaller size makes it suitable for toddlers as young as 18 months - indeed, the company is jumping into the market for training baby geniuses once dominated by Disney's Baby Einstein DVDs.
There are over 500 apps and e-books available to kids. Globally-minded parents will love that the VINCI curriculum apps can be set to work in French, Spanish and Chinese in addition to English. The company is also trying to woo app and content developers by promising a 75% revenue share.
Technical specs for the VINCI include Android 2.3, 800x480 screen, 1.2 GHz Cortex A8 processor and 8 GB of storage. So no quad-core Tegra 3 under the hood, like the Google Nexus or Fuhu Nabi.

These Salomon XW Tornado Skis are the expert level skiers dream. These skies were made to take on the biggest slopes and destroy them in every aspect. With dual titanium sheets sandwiching a full wood core, you don't even have to ask if these are durable. Your Salomon XW Tornados will have you headlining as the big show.
XW Tornado
Both my mum and dad demoed this ski at Falls creek, Australia. It turned great for on the groomed runs and general australian snow conditions. On the few days of powder we had the ski didn't handle as well because there isn't a rocker.
All around good ski. Very good ski for the groomers and east coast skiing. 80mm under foot makes for nice easy turns on packed snow. Crud and powder is not the easiest for this ski, but not truly what it was designed for. No rocker so the tips dig into snow and make it a bit hard to turn. Overall I have enjoyed this ski, just keep it mainly on the groomers and it will perform great.

Another SlAxl. It's kind of fluffy. If you squint maybe.
Watching the stars on the big screen,
Then he lies awake and he wonders,
Why can't that be me
Cause in his life he is filled
With all these good intentions
He's left a lot of things
He'd rather not mention right now
But just before he says goodnight,
He looks up with a little smile at me,
And he says,
The ending credits to the movie had just started to roll, a cheesy song playing in the background, when Axl rolled up to his feet. I startled awake, glancing up to see him looking at the silver screen intently and a blanket of stars staring down at me. I looked up at him, through sleep deprived eyes and inwardly groaned when I saw the dark look in his eyes. He was thinking again and nine times out of ten, it was never good. I groaned, got to my feet and pulled my jacket on over my chilly body. "Let's go home, Axe."
Axl mumbled something I couldn't understand and started to walk towards home. If we could even call it that. We finally moved out of the practice space and into a little apartment over a liquor store. It was a pretty small space, built for just one person. But it had to make due with two. It had enough room for a bed, a couch, my guitar, and a kitchen set. We had to share the closet and the bathroom arrangements were a nightmare all in itself. And to top it all off, the damn door always stuck so you had to shove it to get it open.
Axl walked past me, eyes growing stormier with each step he took. He stripped off his flannel he was wearing, he called it his relaxing clothes. Boots flew to opposite sides of the room. I ducked when his tank top came flying towards me wrapped up in his belt. When he stripped down to nothing but his jean shorts, he flung open the window. "I'll be on the roof." was his mumbled explanation. Then he climbed up the fire escape and disappeared from view.
I sighed deeply, tossing my hat onto the couch. I grabbed my smokes from under the pillow, the last place Axl would look to steal them, and stuffed one in my mouth. I knew I had to let him simmer for a bit. Prod at Axl too soon and he would explode like an untimely bomb. I seen it in action a few times. The only part of it was I hated leaving him like that. I knew he needed space but hated seeing struggle all alone. I hated that pained expression in his eyes. It broke my heart every time I looked at it.
After what seemed like ages, I got up from the couch. My full pack of smokes now empty and lay crumpled on the floor. I went to the kitchen area and warmed up a cup of tea I knew to be Axl's favorite. Then with that hand, I grabbed the blanket from our bed and exited our cramped space in the same fashion Axl did. I walked slower than Axl, careful not to spill the drink or fall off the edge of the building.
Axl sat on the large concrete slab we called the stage, which was his usual perch. His knee's were brought up and his thin arms dangled between them. If he wasn't in a bad mood, I would've joked that he was sitting in his 'cradling the toilet' pose. He looked the same when he was hung-over and vomiting in the bathroom. His hair streamed down his back in a curtain of crimson and contractedly brightly against his creamy skin in the city lights.
I stopped right on the side of him, lowering the mug to eye level with him. When I felt him take it, I sat down behind him, dropping the blanket over my shoulders. Then I leaned forward, wrapped my arms around his waist and dropped the blanket over his shoulder too. My head resting on his bare shoulder lightly. Axl tensed slightly but I ran my hands over his freezing skin lightly. He relaxed and sighed, sipping his tea without a word to me.
"Want to talk about it?" I asked carefully. I wasn't afraid of Axl, I just hated arguing with him. It usually got dragged out and ended with one of leaving the house. More than once it ended with us coming to blows. And out of the entire band, I knew the best ways to avoid all that mayhem. I knew how to get him to open up. It just took careful prying. "C'mon Axe. It's just me and you. Talk!"
Axl shot me a look over his shoulder, a mix between 'Fuck off' and 'Help me". I smiled lightly, rubbing his shoulders now. It amazed me how tight his muscles were. He was fighting against all his urges to flip out. That was why he was sitting on the roof in just shorts, he was trying to cool off. Trying to freeze away the rage inside him. I kept my hands moving, knowing he would soon crack.
"When's it going to be my turn?" he mumbled, so softly I almost didn't hear him at first. I looked at him closely, seeing how white his knuckles were. Whatever this subject was, it was really bothering him. He gripped the mug tightly that I swore if he twitched, he would shatter it. "Why can't I be like them?'
"Who?" I asked, rubbing my thumbs a little harder into his knotted muscles. When he grunted, I knew I had hit the right spot. I kept at it, loosening the muscles as Axl stared at the city lights before us. "Talk to me. You gotta help me understand, Axl."
Axl sighed, leaning back into me. He swept his hand out across the Strip and towards Hollywood with a swear. "When is it going to be our turn? When do we get to shine? We're laying ourselves on the line and getting shit back. Maybe he was right. I am no good."
I heard the yearning, the want in Axl's voice and it hurt. I knew how it felt. We were all waiting for that big break to come. It was taking a huge toll on all of us and so far we had nothing to show for it. Yeah, we had fun doing to but it wasn't paying the bills. "We're too good to go unnoticed. We just gotta wait, man, Our time is going to come. We're going to make it and we're going to be fine."
I paused for a moment, understanding who Axl was talking about when he said 'he'. Axl only spoke about one person in that way and I knew it was his father. Axl would never call him father and only refer to the man as 'him' or 'he'. Sometime it was confusing but knowing Axl like I did, I knew what the man had done to Axl. He wrecked havoc on Axl both physically and mentally. I had seen the scars of the beatings and it made me want to kill the man personally. But whenever Axl got into one of his dark moods, the mans words, not actions, came forward.
"And your father was wrong. Your better than what he said you are. Look how far you came already. I mean, we may not be at the top but we are pretty damn close. We're just at the start. Fuck what he says. You're better than what he says. I know you are." I said strongly, squeezing his arms gently to prove my point.
"You came from a shitty home and a fucked up father. You survived shit none of us can touch. You take no shit from anyone and fight anyone what even tries to put you down. You got my back and the band's like nobody's business. Your voice can get every person in the venue up and moving, no one else's. Your power is what they hear."
I hesitated, reaching around and pressed my hand against his chest. "You also have this amazing heart beating inside your chest. Everything you do has great intentions. Yeah, you left behind a past that you never mention but who cares. Your heart is all you need. You prove to me everyday that we can change what we can change from. Don't forget that."
I heard Axl sniff after I finished speaking and I smiled. He shot a half glare, wiping his eyes quickly. "Screw you, fucker. I got something in my eyes." he lied, eyes puffy. I smiled, laughing. He chuckled lightly. "Thanks. I needed someone to tell me I was wrong."
'I will gladly tell you're wrong any chance I get if I can be like this with you." I smirked, nuzzling my cold nose into his warm neck. He smiled, leaning his back against my bare chest. "I take that as a yes, then?"
"Shut up, Slasher. You're ruining the moment." he mumbled, eyes half closed and a small smile on his lips. "One day, when we're famous, I'm going to buy a huge house with a ton of rooms. And we're going to live together because I can't live without you. I'm going to be a huge star and I'm taking you with me. We're going to see heaven."
I smiled, kissing his forehead. "I'm already in Heave. I'm looking at it." I whispered, closing my eyes and relaxing in the city sounds.
Axl didn't speak for a minute, probably shocked by my words. "If I could be like that, know what I'd do?" I shrugged, looking at him tiredly. He was almost asleep and looked angelic, a small smile on his face again. "I would trade all the money I had just to make sure you stayed with me for the rest of my life. I'd rather have you then be like that."
I smiled widely, kissing his lips gently. "Same here, Billy." I pulled back, positioned my back against the wall and got comfortable. There was no way I was moving now. I was content sitting with Heaven in my arms. "Night, sugah."
Axl smiled in his sleep, he usually did whenever I called him by a pet name. I felt my eyelids drop as I watched a shooting star dart across the sky. I silently wished we would make it and get everything Axl wanted. Then sleep started to fight for dominance. "I love you Saul…Don't let me go."
If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that,
what would I do,
What would I do
