A crystal meth bust at a Streetsboro hotel.
On Tuesday, the Streetsboro Police Department responded to the Fairfield Inn on SR14 for a report of possible drug activity in a room. When officers arrived, they were told that a hotel employee had observed drugs in Room 101.
When officers went to that room, they spoke to a man and woman and obtained a consent to search the room. Once consent was obtained, officers located a small amount of marijuana, some prescription pills and a baggie of crystal methamphetamines. The crystal meth weight was approximately one ounce and has an estimated street value of about $6,000.
Brian K. Crawford, 32, was arrested and charged with possession of drugs and Christina L. Dunham, 32, was charged with complicity to possession of drugs.
The case was turned over to the Portage County Drug Task Force and is still under investigation.

Delicious foodPosted on 04 / 09 / 2014
Delicious food (got the Jamaican bowl and husband got the Jamaican sub). Drinks are good. We definitely did not fit in with all the carefully dressed hipsters but we still enjoyed ourselves. Go earlier... things start getting busy at night. Great patio out back.

LAS VEGAS In two seasons in the NBA, Isaiah Thomas had never looked so happy to be exhausted. He had participated in a summer league practice and couldn't believe the level of intensity.
For coach Michael Malone, it wasn't anything special.
"Isaiah Thomas told me after our practice that it was the hardest practice he's had since he's been in the NBA," Malone said. "And I laughed because it wasn't that hard a practice in my eyes."
Malone wasn't planning to use the summer league as a barometer for regular-season success, and considering the Kings finished 1-4, that's a good thing.
Malone intended to establish a standard for hard work and accountability that would carry over into training camp and the regular season.
"I think they know it will be a lot different," Malone said. "That's not a knock on anybody. That's just the approach moving forward."
Malone wanted Ben McLemore and Ray McCallum, the Kings' two draft picks, to be indoctrinated into his ways during the summer league minicamp and games.
Helping Malone spread his message were veterans such as Thomas, Marcus Thornton, Jason Thompson and Jimmer Fredette, who worked out with the coaches or practiced with the summer league team.
Malone believes the time in Las Vegas began the process of changing the culture that has permeated the franchise during six consecutive losing seasons.
"I know for Ben and Ray, without a doubt," Malone said. "And for Marcus and Isaiah, who practiced with us a couple of times, and Jason and Jimmer, who also went to the gym with our staff, they know that it's a different staff and we're going to be a work team."
Working hard isn't something the Kings have been known for around the league. Opponents have exploited the Kings' habit of whining at officials, beating them down the floor for easy baskets.
Understanding scouting reports and opponents' tendencies seemed to take a back seat to individual play, too.
Count Thomas as one player in favor of what Malone is trying to do.
"It's a 100 percent change," Thomas said. "It just reminded me of college practice. Even though it's just the summer league team, everyone's dialed in. There's no talking on the side, just focus on getting better and attention to detail, just doing the right things. So I can't wait for this season to start."
Only two Kings, Thornton and Carl Landry, have played for Malone when he was an assistant coach. Both praised Malone's strategic prowess as a coach.
Malone wants all the returning players to know they are part of a new franchise, just without the hassle of relocation threats and ownership instability.
"Them coming around and sensing the change in the ownership, and the commitment from ownership, our front-office staff, the coaching staff, and they know it's a new day in Sacramento," Malone said. "I think they're excited and looking forward to the change that's ahead."
Though McLemore and McCallum weren't around for the struggles of recent seasons, they've been filled in by the veterans.
"I've been talking to DeMarcus (Cousins), Isaiah, J.T. and all those guys," McLemore said. "I think they have a feeling this year is going to be better. We're rebuilding for us a whole new organization."
McCallum said Malone's message has been clear accountability, effort and defense are priorities. Although those are basic tenets of NBA basketball, the Kings have been lacking in those areas for years.
"I feel like he's done a great job with the coaching staff getting us prepared for these games," McCallum said. "And Ben and I, really getting us prepared for what's ahead of us."

Who Is Affected by Achilles Tendinopathy or Rupture
Who Is Affected by Achilles Tendinopathy or Rupture
Achilles tendinopathy is likely to occur in men older than 30. And small tears in the tendon (tendinosis) are common among people older than 35 who continue activities that result in repeated stress on the Achilles tendon.1 These activities include sports, especially running.
Most Achilles tendon ruptures occur in people 30 to 50 years old who are recreational athletes ("weekend warriors"). A rupture is most common in basketball, racquet sports (such as tennis), soccer, and softball. Achilles tendon ruptures can also happen in older adults, for example, when they overstretch while reaching for something.
If high cholesterol runs in your family, you have a higher risk of Achilles tendon pain and problems.2

Theo Wanne GAIA Tenor Saxophone MouthpieceThe GAIA was designed to have the same type of sound, yet outplay any other vintage large chamber mouthpiece due to our innovative design, and patent pending, incredibly accurate, machining technology. It has the spirit of Dexter Gordon and Stan Getz, etc. The rich resonant sound, previously only available in vintage mouthpieces, is BACK. It is machined from blocks of solid brass! With many patents behind their products, Theo Wanne mouthpieces are the highest quality and most innovative in the world.Infused with the spirit of Dexter Gordon, the GAIA was built to outplay Theo's very best Florida Otto Link. It is not just a simple copy of a vintage mouthpiece. Theo has taken his extensive experience working with vintage mouthpieces and made the type of same sound, just better!The GAIA tends towards a traditional Jazz taste, but is quite versatile like the AMMA. The GAIA has a medium roll-over baffle, precision-sculpted inner sidewalls, and our True Large Chamber for a simply huge and alive vintage sound.The GAIAs True Large Chamber is very much like the vintage mouthpieces of the 1940s but technically superior due to our patent-pending machining technology. Take a look at our baffles, tip rails, side rails, and interior design. We show you pictures of these for a reason. The GAIA is truly revolutionary in bringing the vintage sound up to date both in design and construction.

I've been playing on a Jody Jazz NY 8 tenor mouthpiece for about 2 years now. I decided to get a new mouthpiece when I couldn't find reeds hard enough to satisfy my resistance need. I spent the money on this mouthpiece and got it to find out that I hated it! But, I didn't loose hope, and after 4 days and a full reed strength drop from a Vandoren V16 4 to a ZZ 3, this mouthpiece plays like no other. I should mention that I got a 9 Gaia, hence the reed drop. This mouthpiece is incredible and has so many colors to it! Very versatile and easy to control. It is a more advanced mouthpiece, in which I mean you have to know what you want to sound like before you get this. It will take your natural tonal core and expand it! So put the work in before you get one of these! Although pricy, this is the best mouthpiece I have ever played on!
I find it hard to describe what this piece has done for my sound. After exhaustive trials with countless mouthpieces, I had settled on two; a Guardala MBII and a modern Otto Link Metal 7*. I have enjoyed both of these pieces, and recently the Link in particular since I was starting to move into more jazz work.
I really wanted to re-define my sound, and though the Link was pointing me in the right direction, I still felt something was missing. So I began my exhaustive search once again. This last order included a Theo Wanne Metal GAIA 7*. I initially had no expectations of keeping this piece based on the price, but I was curious to see if the price was justifiable.
One word describes what I found: ABSOLUTELY!
Yes, it is expensive, and I would say that this is a piece for someone who really gigs on a regular basis. If this is you, I would recommend to at least try it, or any of the other Theo pieces.
First, the design and craftsmanship is absolutely un-matched. Rails are even, the table is completely flat, the baffle is smooth and beautifully crafted. This is what comes when you get a top quality hand-finished piece.
Second, the sound. Oh....the sound. Big, fat, round tone. But it does not stop there. What has amazed me the most with this piece is the versatility. I can go from playing "'Round Midnight" in a mellow sub-tone sound to wailing out the horn lines of Stevie Wonder's "Superstitious" with just a bit more air. The mouthpiece is very free-blowing, especially compared to the Link.
The response with this piece is just as huge as the sound. My "Ah Ha!" moment as I call it came when I started noticing that my inflections and my "feeling" of the music almost felt like it was sub-consciously transmitted through the mouthpiece and into the horn. I have always played the same way, but have never had a piece react so perfectly to my style.
In closing, I will admit that this just might be the fit for my playing style, but I will strongly recommend that any serious player, or anyone working on becoming a regular performer, give this or any of the Theo Wanne pieces a try. I did just for the heck of it, and now will spend the rest of my playing life using this mouthpiece.
My Setup: Yamaha YTS-875EX Custom, Theo Wanne 7*, Rico Select Jazz Unfiled 3S/3M
* Price guarantee valid on all new in-stock merchandise sold by an authorized U.S. Dealer. Guarantee does not apply to discontinued, blemished, damaged, closeout, open box, refurbished or auction items. You will be contacted via email shortly after submission of request.

I just recd my first used diaper and I wasn't sure how to go about cleaning it (TTO?). Tia!
I've always just washed as usual. Hot water and detergent is pretty good at getting everything out. I'm really not a fan of using alternative microbial agents when there is a question of safety. When in doubt I always go bleach (I was a microbiologist and bleach always got us 0 CFU with an occasional maybe 1 CFU even when we were using strains at a concentration of 10^6). It will kill everything.

I just throw them in with my next load of diapers and do my regular, cold rinse, hot wash w/tto, second rinse. I don't think I've had a new diaper since Savana was still in them so all of mine are used and they've never been hard to clean.

Kevin Brown knew he was hooked on crack cocaine. That was obvious each time he set off on another smoking binge. But Brown says he never imagined that he also suffered from a mental illness until he walked into Baltimore Behavioral Health Inc.
A day or so after he went to the private, nonprofit Southwest Baltimore clinic in 2007 hoping to kick his drug habit, a psychiatrist diagnosed him with major depression. Soon, he was living in one of BBH's houses, taking antidepressants and spending hours each day in group therapy, half of it focused on mental illness. The treatment lasted months and cost taxpayers thousands of dollars.
But Brown, 46, doubted that he had a psychiatric illness or needed medication. And for good reason, says Amy Jackson, a University of Maryland mental health social worker who counseled him over a recent six-month stretch after he'd relapsed: He never was clinically depressed.
"Once he was no longer using the substance, he was no longer showing signs of the depression," Jackson said. In other words, he suffers from a chemical addiction, and when that is under control, his mind is not burdened by mental illness.
Brown, an addict diagnosed with a psychiatric illness that some outside health providers do not think he has, illustrates a recurring theme at BBH.
Addicts who step into BBH from the city's drug-racked streets are three times more likely to be deemed mentally ill than are addicts treated at other centers across Maryland, state records show.
And BBH has long funneled patients into the costliest outpatient treatment programs available to poor Marylanders — programs they would not qualify for without a diagnosis that they have a psychiatric illness. In some years, state data show, the West Pratt Street center has swallowed up 85 percent of the taxpayer funds spent on intensive outpatient mental health care across Maryland.
From modest beginnings in 1997, Baltimore Behavioral Health grew by last year into a $17 million-per-year operation, with more than 250 staff members tending hundreds of patients a day, making it one of the region's largest providers of drug treatment. It has diagnosed and treated thousands of the city's most broken and desperate, offering many a bed in its network of area rental homes, then busing them daily to the center for state-funded treatment.
But former patients and employees, as well as outside doctors, say BBH has been diagnosing mental illness — and collecting public money to treat it — in some patients whose main affliction is drug addiction.
BBH is an outpatient mental health clinic that specializes in treating co-occurring drug abuse and psychiatric illness. It mostly bills Maryland's public mental health system, principally Medicaid. And in order to bill that system, a patient's main affliction must be psychiatric rather than drug addiction.
In May, Chief Executive William "Kris" Hathaway said BBH is committed to providing quality care to its patients by blending kindness and clinical rigor to address their physical and mental needs.
"We work very hard to fulfill our mission," he said. "A significant portion of our patients are a very difficult and underserved segment of our society, though we do not wish to foster that image because everyone is equally deserving of respect and compassionate care regardless of their circumstances."
A Baltimore Sun investigation that included dozens of interviews with former patients, psychiatrists and other health professionals, analysis of tax and court records, and a review of state data, found:
•About 90 percent of drug-using patients at Baltimore Behavioral Health, many of them walk-ins, have been deemed to suffer from mental illness, according to the most recent seven years of state health department data. The average is 31 percent for all drug treatment providers in Maryland.
•BBH's frequent and extended use of intensive treatment, coupled with its practice of giving patients multiple chances to get clean, has fueled a boom in billings to the taxpayer-funded state system. Its claims rose from $5.5 million six years ago to more than $17 million in fiscal 2009 before dipping in the last fiscal year.
•BBH has a reputation on city streets, in jails and at area treatment providers for admitting addicts who say they feel depressed, triggering a psychiatric diagnosis that leads to more expensive treatment, according to more than a half-dozen former patients. Two prior patients told The Sun they were advised by BBH staff on what to say at intake — a practice that BBH says would be grounds for firing.
•State data show that by 2004, BBH stood out from other providers for its use of high-cost treatments. Yet state officials in charge of the public mental health system say they noticed this only in 2007. Even then, they did not take steps until fall 2009 to address BBH billings.
•More than a dozen former patients and staff members describe illicit drug use by patients at BBH facilities and patient houses. Paramedics answering calls about possible overdoses have found people under the influence of cocaine and heroin.
State health officials began investigating BBH in May, after The Sun began its probe. Health surveyors recently examined files of 12 randomly chosen patients and found numerous deficiencies that can cause "a significant health or safety consequence, a violation of rights or infringement on quality of life." The state Mental Hygiene Administration is reviewing the findings.

GREEN BAY, WI (WTAQ) - Green Bay had two of its major bridges closed for almost an hour-and-a-half late Sunday.
Officials said an electrical problem caused a temporary shutdown of the Mason Street bridge over the Fox River just south of downtown Green Bay.
The Leo Frigo Memorial Bridge north of the downtown on I-43 remains closed after a support pillar sank 12 days ago.
On Mason Street, the drawbridge got stuck in a raised position about halfway up. Crews were called a little before 6 p.m. Sunday. That was almost three hours after the Packer game ended, so it didn't affect the game traffic.
Still, drivers were held up as much as 20 minutes as police cleared the span and set up detours.
A Green Bay public works official said crews repaired the electrical function that raises the bridge to let boats pass through on the Fox River.
The bridge re-opened around 7:15 p.m.

BOSTON -- LeBron James had a good courtside seat for the Heats second consecutive loss to the Celtics.
A helpless bystander after fouling out in overtime, James could do nothing but watch as the Celtics tied these Eastern Conference finals at 2-2 with a 93-91 victory on Sunday night at TD Garden. James led the Heat with 29 points and helped lead an inspired comeback in the second half but wasnt on the floor for the most important minutes of this series.
He fouled out with 1:51 remaining in overtime after slamming into Mickael Pietrus. The Heat trailed 92-91 after James left the game. After Rajon Rondo made 1 of 2 free throws, Dwyane Wade had a chance to tie or win the game but his three-point attempt at the buzzer was off the mark.
He had it in his hands and I could tell he was going for the win, James said. He got Marquis up in the air, stepped through and it was a matter of inches when it comes to making or missing. But he got a really good look.
And so did James, who disagreed after the game with the call on his sixth foul.
I dont foul out, James said. I dont foul out. If Im going to foul out, that sixth foul, I wish I would have earned it and it actually would have been a foul on me. But, whatever.
Wade finished with 20 points on 7 of 22 shooting and played the entire second half and overtime. Paul Pierce led the Celtics with 23 points before fouling out in overtime. Rondo had 15 points and 15 assists.
I got a good look, Wade said of his final shot. It just didnt go in.
James drilled a three-pointer with 37.5 seconds left in regulation to tie the game at 89-89. On the Celtics next possession, he forced a turnover when he absorbed a charge by Kevin Garnett. With 21.1 seconds left and the game tied, the Heat had time to draw up a potential game-winning play. Whatever coach Erik Spoelstra drew up went off script when James passed to Udonis Haslem at the buzzer, who air-balled a jump shot. James pass to Haslem was partially deflected.
When he gets doubled, I come from the strong side and try to get in LeBrons vision, Haslem said. I dont think we would do anything differently. I we could, I would have probably pulled a little higher, so he could get a better passing angle.
Garnett put the Celtics ahead by three points with 2:43 left. An offensive rebound by Haslem kept possession alive for Mario Chalmers, who missed a three-point attempt but then delivered with a driving layup to cut Bostons lead to 87-86 with 1:01 to play.
Haslem finished with 12 points and 17 rebounds. Chalmers had 12, four assists and three rebounds.
A double foul on James and Garnett with 5:32 left gave James his fifth foul. James picked up his fourth foul 15 seconds earlier when Michael Pietrus drew an offensive charge.
A 13-1 run by the Heat spanning the third and four quarters sliced the Celtics lead to nothing. With 8:45 remaining in the game, the Heat tied the game for the first time since the opening tip. The Celtics called a timeout but its offense continued to sputter. Meanwhile, the Heat got a boost from an unlikely source, Norris Cole.
With Mario Chalmers in foul trouble, Cole entered the game with less than five minutes to play in the third quarter. He gave the Heat its first lead of the game with 8:23 left and then put the Heat ahead 78-76 with 7:41 left in the game.
But the Celtics werent done.
Ray Allen swished a three-pointer off a deflection to put the Celtics ahead 79-78 with 7:30 left and Garnett tipped in a miss by Brandon Bass to put Boston ahead by four points.
The Heat stormed back from a 14-point halftime deficit in the third quarter. Led by nine points from Wade, the Heat cut Bostons lead to 73-68 to begin the fourth quarter. Wade struggled significantly in the first half but found his groove in the second. His three-pointer to close out the third quarter gave the Heat momentum entering the final period. The Heat outscored Boston 21-12 in the third quarter.
I guess we just decided to play some defense, Wade said. They were carving us up at the beginning of the game.
Wade started the game 1 of 8 from the field before hitting an out-of-character three-pointer with 1:46 left in the first half. It cut the Celtics lead to 58-43 but Allen answered immediately with his third three-pointer of the half. The Celtics made 7 of 16 attempts from three-point range in the first half. Allen finished with 16 points. Garnett had 17 points and 14 rebounds. Keyon Dooling was 3 of 4 from three-point range and finished with 10 points of the bench.
It was a difficult two-game stretch for Wade, who has never exactly played up to his potential in Boston. Not only did Wade struggle at TD Garden but he inexplicably drew attention to his coach after Fridays loss when he told reporters it was up to Spoelstra to devise a counter for Celtics coach Doc Rivers mastery of Game 3.
Exactly what adjustments were made between Games 3 and 4, whos to say? The Heat gave up 61 points in the first half, the most of any half this postseason.
During his halftime interview with ESPN, Rondo summed up the Heats first-half shortcomings thusly: Theyre complaining and crying to the referees in transition.
Meanwhile, Rondo had eight points and 10 assists in the first half. His back-to-back assists on three-pointers by Allen and Dooling gave Boston a 40-26 lead less than two minutes into the second quarter.
Back to back three-point plays by Paul Pierce gave the Celtics an 18-point lead with less than three minutes in the first half. Pierce entered Sunday without a dominate performance in the series but delivered in Game 4. He scored 20 points in the first half but scored just two points in the final two periods and overtime.
The game was 17-minutes old before the Heat attempted its first free throw. James missed it, of course. The Heat finished the game 17 of 24 from the line, a significant improvement from its 10-of-20 effort in Game 3.
We waited until the second half, which we cant do, James said. In Game 3 we cant wait until we get down and then make a push. Tonight we gave ourselves a chance to win but we cant continue to dig ourselves a hole in the first two and half quarters and then decide to turn it on.

Truncus arteriosus
Truncus arteriosus is a rare type of congenital heart disease in which a single blood vessel (truncus arteriosus) comes out of the right and left ventricles, instead of the normal two (pulmonary artery and aorta).
There are different types of truncus arteriosus, depending on the anatomy of the single vessel.
Alternative Names
Causes, incidence, and risk factors
In normal circulation, the pulmonary artery comes out of the right ventricle and the aorta comes out of the left ventricle, which are separate from each other. Coronary arteries (which supply blood to the heart muscle) come out of the aorta just above the valve at the entrance of the aorta.
In truncus arteriosus, a single artery comes out of the ventricles. There is usually also a large hole between the two ventricles (ventricular septal defect). As a result, the blue (without oxygen) and red (oxygen-rich) blood mix.
Some of this mixed blood goes to the lungs, some goes to the coronary arteries, and the rest goes to the body. Usually, too much blood is sent to the lungs.
If left untreated, two problems occur:
- Too much blood circulation in the lungs may cause extra fluid to build up in and around them, making it difficult to breathe.
- The blood vessels to the lungs become permanently damaged. Over time, it becomes very hard for the heart to force blood to them. This is called pulmonary hypertension and it can be life-threatening.
- Bluish skin (cyanosis)
- Delayed growth or growth failure
- Fatigue
- Lethargy
- Poor feeding
- Rapid breathing (tachypnea)
- Shortness of breath (dyspnea)
- Widening of the finger tips (clubbing)
Signs and tests
A murmur is usually heard when listening to the heart with a stethoscope.
Tests include:
- Echocardiogram
- Heart catheterization (only needed in rare cases to help with the diagnosis or in planning a treatment strategy)
- MRI of the heart
- X-ray of the chest
Surgery is needed to treat this condition. Two procedures are available.
One treatment involves banding the pulmonary arteries coming off the truncus to limit the amount of blood that can flow through them. However, this procedure is rarely used anymore.
The other procedure is called complete repair. Complete repair appears to be the preferred option.
Expectations (prognosis)
Complete repair usually provides good results. Another procedure may be needed as the patient grows. Untreated cases result in death, often during the first year of life.
- Heart failure
- High blood pressure in the lungs (pulmonary hypertension) with pulmonary obstructive lung disease
Calling your health care provider
Call your health care provider if your infant or child:
- Appears lethargic
- Appears overly tired or mildly short of breath
- Does not eat well
- Does not seem to be growing or developing normally
If the skin, lips, or nail beds look blue or if the child seems to be very short of breath, take the child to the emergency room or have the child examined promptly.
There is no known prevention, but early treatment can often prevent serious complications.

Stephen Jackson on Scott Skiles: "He was more of a college coach."
Category: Bucks Player Features, Greatest Hits
Much ado has been made of Stephen Jackson's resurrection in San Antonio during the playoffs. He's averaging 7.2 points on 50% shooting in 20 minutes per game. A stark contrast to the brutal numbers he produced while languishing in Milwaukee earlier this season. A relationship that started with what seemed like so much potential, with so many good feelings on both sides, burned out in just over a months time in Milwaukee.
In yet another terrific piece at Grantland by Jonathan Abrams (this guy is one of the top five basketball writers out there right now, always amazing stuff from him), Jackson speaks on his time with Scott Skiles and the Milwaukee Bucks.
"To me, he was more of a college coach," Jackson said of Skiles. "Me, personally, I need a coach that I can respect, that's proven in this league and doesn't mind taking advice from his players. When you have a great coach like Gregg Popovich, who asks about our opinion and cares about how we feel and what we think and what goes on off the court and at home, it's easy to play for those guys because you know they genuinely care. He was a young coach, a coach that really hasn't proven himself in this league as far as winning, so I saw a lot of things that I didn't agree with that he was doing and we were losing at the time, so we never could work together."
According to Abrams, Skiles, when given the opportunity to respond, simply said he is "happy for Stephen" and that he "respected him as a competitor."
I find myself looking to take shots at Jackson every so often. I'm bitter and sullen about what went down in Milwaukee. But when I take my shots, they're usually half-hearted. I can't find much to back them up with. Yeah, he struggled and it seemed like he was a bad influence on Brandon Jennings for a while, but I just can't bring myself to blame him for everything. It really didn't seem like Skiles had much give with him. My access to Scott Skiles' brain and time not spent with the media is zero, but what I've gathered about him doesn't seem like a great fit for Jackson.
He's not a nurturer. And while you may think that Gregg Popovich isn't either, it's clear that Pop can walk the line between coach and psychiatrist with some degree of expertise. He wouldn't have been as successful as he has been if he couldn't. Jackson needs a coach that's going to listen to him and engage him. Skiles has never seemed the type. Skiles is by all accounts a very fair man – it's always been said that he treats every guy on the team the same way.
Stephen Jackson needs more than that. He needs the coach's ear. He needs to be heard and to be valued.
Hindsight is 20/20 and tells us that this relationship was doomed before it ever got off the ground. The two are both too proud and neither flinched when things started to take a turn for the worse in January. Whether that's something Skiles will take into mind going forward and whether it will change how he deals with players in the future is a mystery, but I get the feeling that as long as Skiles is the Bucks coach, it might make an impact on just what sort of players they'll target.

Come on, man. Jackson thought he was still a star, couldn't deal with getting old overnight and only accepted a supporting role because he was humbled.
We get that you hate Skiles, but at least be a journalist and tell the story of why Jackson is speaking out.
@benjamiller Haha.
Jackson is a petulant child. Glad he's gone.
Everyone that reads my responses to articles knows how much i dislike Jackson, but I am not going to dismiss these comments. I do believe that Scottie stonewalls people and players sometimes and I do believe that Jack(ass)son does probably have a bevvy of useful info in that thick skull. That being said those quotes are from a guy who went into the stands to punch fans and discharged a firearm in public
@JustinNixon I tend to agree with you on this post… However I am curious as to why…if Jackson is telling the truth about him trying to teach Skiles about things what exactly that could of been…his first interview was he couldn't wait until he got into an argument with Skiles that to me was an alarming thing he said and when he got that argument he demanded a trade seems too convenient in my books sorry for the rant :/
@BrianShetrompf I was walking that fence of giving Jackson too much credit, but my main point was more about Skiles not accepting outside advice that may help him advance as a coach/teacher..seems to be a disconnect between him and young players.. but hey he's old school and we can all be sure that the information from Jack wasn't delivered with the sweetness of saccharin
Interesting, it's not every story that has all the comments (so far) on Skiles' side (mostly)…..
I love Skiles and I love Jack, I was very upset that the situation did not work out but Jeremy makes a good point in that we probably should have known it was doomed to fail from the start. Jack is an emotional guy and Skiles is not. He seems to be all work no play and runs a very tight ship. Scott Skiles could really give a *expletive* less about what you as a player think because bottom line it is his team. I respect coaches that have that mentality Bob Knight for example is one of the best, but Skiles is only getting mediocre production from this team his way obviously is not working.
If I could have any player as my teammate in the NBA I would want it to be Jack because I know that no matter what he's got my back. If I could have any coach I'd probably pick Skiles because he forces you to play 100% every night and if you don't then you don't play, and although at times it's frustrating as a fan, you have to respect that as a man.
"In some crazy sort of way, if I died helping a teammate or a friend or someone that I love, I think I could live with it." Stephen Jackson
Stephen spent one mysterious season at a community college in El Dorado, Kansas, which is really cool because it's so close to Auntie Em and Uncle Henry's farm. Among other things, there is a bit of a credibility gap to his statement about Scott.
In the playoffs, he averaged 5.3pts/19min in wins and 15.8pts/ 26.5min in losses. Correlation does not necessarily mean causation, right?

Dr. Chen is only interested if you're sure you want surgery. I wanted a consultation and options for my severe sinus issues but felt like I got cookie cutter advice for one size fits all surgery. He had the paperwork filled out before I could say I wanted to try the non invasive treatments first, then has nothing else to say to me. May be quick to go for the knife.

We accept all major credit and debit cards.
Payment can be made at the time of placing the booking or if you prefer, to the driver.
There is a 10% admin charge for all bookings paid via card.
We seem to get a lot of enquiries regarding personal accounts and where as other companies just say no, we have come up with a solution that seems to be very popular with our regular customers.
If you feel that a personal account would be of real benefit to you, all we require is that you open up a line of credit with us.
After discussing your needs with you, we will decide on the amount needed to open the account. Weekly updates will be sent to you informing you of how much credit remains in your account along with a full breakdown of taxis you have used throughout the previous week; we could send this via post or email. If you notice that your line of credit is becoming low then you may top it up if you wish. You could make the payment via Bacs transfers, credit or debit card payments over the phone or you could just bring the payment into the office.
We do have customers who have preferred to setup standing orders each month for a fixed amount, this way they find it is easier to stick to a budget. If the funds in your account have been exhausted before the next payment has arrived, the account will just be placed on hold until the next payment is received, this will mean that you will not spend more than you intended, and you can stick to your budget. You could always change the amount of credit at any time if you so wished. We will always keep you up to date with the state of your account.
If you are interested and feel that this would be of real benefit to you, then please feel free to contact us, either via email or phone 01803 322322 and one of our helpful staff will be happy to help.

Note This article explains the upgrade process for SharePoint Online. If you're looking for information about upgrading your Office 365 subscription to the 2013 experience, see the Office 365 Upgrade Center.
When your SharePoint Online site collection is ready to be upgraded, you'll see a pink banner across the top of your screen, much like the example shown here:
This banner indicates that your global administrator has taken the necessary steps to enable the upgrade and you can now take advantage of the latest SharePoint Online 2013 features and improvements.
Within the banner text you'll see two upgrade options: Go to the upgrade page now or Remind me later. If you choose Go to the upgrade page now, you'll go to a separate page where you can start the actual upgrade or test the upgrade process by building an evaluation site. If you choose Remind me later, the notification bar will appear at the top of the page each time you access the site collection.
The upgrade process consists of four steps. It takes time so you'll want to do some up-front planning to ensure it goes smoothly. Although only one of the upgrade steps is required, we do recommend that you perform a site collection health check and an upgrade to the MySite Host before proceeding with any site collection upgrades.
This article walks through all of these upgrade steps.
New in SharePoint Online 2013, the site collection pre-upgrade health check examines a site collection and generates a report listing any potential upgrade issues and how to address them. For example, if a default file in SharePoint Online has been customized, it will be flagged so you can identify the custom file and, if you want, reset it to the default template in the site definition.
Note If you begin the upgrade process without running a pre-upgrade health check, a health check will be run automatically prior to upgrading the site collection. Any issues found will be displayed in the health check report as described above.
An evaluation site collection lets you preview your site content in the latest version of SharePoint Online. The preview is a separate site collection, so unlike what you might have experienced in Visual Upgrade in SharePoint 2010, any actions you take in the evaluation site collection will have no effect on the original.
It's not necessary to create an upgrade evaluation site for every site collection. However, if you have any sites that have been customized or sites that are running as sandboxed solutions, you should create an upgrade evaluation site for them in order to test any customizations and to make sure they're compatible in the new version.
You'll receive an email notification when the evaluation site collection is available. The email message will contain a link to the site collection along with an expiration date. The collection is temporary so you'll want to review it right away to confirm that everything looks and behaves as you expect. Evaluation site collections typically expire after 30 days, although this is configurable by the global administrator, so any changes made will be lost upon expiration. If the evaluation site collection expires before you've finished evaluating the changes, you can request another but will have to wait until after expiration to make your request.
After experimenting with the evaluation site collection, make the desired changes to your original site collection and then proceed with the upgrade.
Important Automatic updates to the MySite host will begin in 2014. Admins will be notified of the upgrade schedule so check the SharePoint Online admin center regularly for update alerts. If your MySite host has been upgraded automatically, you can skip this section. If you want to upgrade the MySite host prior to the automatic upgrade, follow the steps below. Note that we are not updating public site collections as part of the automatic upgrade effort.
SharePoint Online 2013 includes lots of new social features that enable users to blog, follow and post to newsfeeds, join communities, and so on. Additionally, all users receive a OneDrive for Business library with 25 GB of storage space for storing documents, photos, videos, and so on. The OneDrive for Business site is accessible only by people within your organization or with invited guests who can log in to Office 365.
We strongly recommend you begin your upgrade with the MySite host. Delaying the MySite host upgrade could lead to errors for users who attempt to move documents from their MySite library to OneDrive for Business and for new users who attempt to access their MySites. MySites can't be provisioned for new users until the MySite host has been upgraded.
Note: The SharePoint Online 2013 master page will supersede any custom master page currently in use on your host. Make sure you test all customizations and re-create them as necessary in 2013 to ensure your OneDrive for Business sites work as expected.
Once you upgrade the MySite host, users can upgrade and customize their individual MySites/OneDrive for Business sites in order to start enjoying the new features. Be advised that the process of updating individual MySites is not automatic, and users will have to add their own themes or other customizations regardless of what you applied on the MySite host.
For example, here is the Newsfeed page of a site (Newsfeed is the MySite host). The master page was changed and a green theme added.
At the local MySite below, however, neither the master page nor theme changes carried over. The owner of this MySite will have to customize the page manually.
After running the pre-upgrade health checks, optionally reviewing an evaluation site collection, and upgrading the MySite Host, you're ready to upgrade your site collection to SharePoint Online 2013. During the upgrade, users will be prevented from making any changes to the sites within the site collection. An upgrade status page will be displayed that shows when the upgrade started, the status of the upgrade, any errors or warnings, and where to find the upgrade log files.
The upgrade starts, and the upgrade status page for the site collection is displayed. This page automatically refreshes every minute while the upgrade is in progress and displays information about the process, such as any issues that have occurred, when the upgrade started, and where to find the upgrade log file. It's a good idea to save this log file so you can refer to it later as needed. After the upgrade completes, the Upgrade Status page is displayed in the new user interface, and you'll see an Upgrade Completed Successfully message if the upgrade completed successfully. For more information about troubleshooting site collection upgrade issues, see Troubleshoot site collection upgrade issues.
Note Depending on the number of site collection upgrades in the queue, your upgrade may not start immediately. If this is the case, you will see a "waiting to start" message and your site collection upgrade will begin as soon as the upgrades ahead of you in the queue have completed.

Blue Book® Suggested Retail Value
Fuel Economy (city/hwy)
First Drive Review: 2010 Acura MDX
This 2010 review is representative of model years 2007 to 2013.
With Acura's upcoming 2010 ZDX crossover-coupe-whatever setting the tone for the brand in terms of refinement and technology, its once techno-trendsetting MDX sibling is looking a bit long in the tooth. Indeed, the second-gen MDX—which placed first of eight in our last shootout of $50,000 SUVs—has sat relatively unchanged since its 2007 debut, and this fact, combined with a number of newly engineered goodies also used in the ZDX, makes this year the perfect time for an update.
Six Gears and a Better Ride
Also new are retuned active dampers that come as part of the Advance package, which takes the place of last year's Sport package. Despite the MDX's handling prowess and all-wheel-drive grip, we've criticized its ride for being a bit harsh and unyielding, particularly in the sportiest suspension setting. And although it remains firm, our brief jaunt north of Detroit revealed the new version to be far more compliant in both sport and comfort settings while maintaining good body control.
The 300-hp, 3.7-liter V-6 has been retuned for more flexible power delivery, and Acura has fitted larger four-wheel disc brakes. Nineteen-inch wheels are now a factory option; 18-inchers remain standard, although they're now lighter than before and have a new design. All of this serves to bolster the MDX's already surprising agility, but we were taken aback by the ultra-light steering—at all speeds—that felt much more artificial and over-boosted than we remember.
More Gizmos and Driver Assistance
An optional multiview reverse camera with normal, wide-angle, and top-down views is new, and it displays through the eight-inch infotainment screen. The latter view will undoubtedly aid in accurately lining up a trailer with its straight-down look at the rear bumper, but prepare to jump to the Technology package to get it: Settling for the base model means you get a single-view reverse camera with a display integrated into the rearview mirror.
The Technology package also gets a new hard-drive-based navigation and entertainment system fortified with voice recognition, real-time traffic updates with rerouting, and weather updates that overlay Doppler-style radar images on the navigation map. An upgraded 10-speaker, 410-watt audio system that combines USB-port connectivity, Bluetooth streaming audio, and a Ford Sync–style function that allows voice control of your music library is included in the Tech pack. The newly available Entertainment package offers heated second-row seats and a nine-inch motorized screen for rear-seat occupants.
Will Looking the Part Make a Difference?
The interior has been upgraded with a thicker steering wheel, new wood trim, and LED lighting. Acura says it also made the plethora of center-stack buttons easier to understand, but frankly, we didn't notice—the dash looked as busy and complicated as ever. Fortunately, the leather is sumptuous, the seats are very comfortable, and the navigation system is still one of the best available.
Arriving at dealers late in the year, Acura says pricing will increase by about three percent over 2009 levels, which means well-equipped base models should start below $44,000. Loaded versions with all the driver aids, interior gadgets, and rear-seat entertainment likely will near the $55,000 threshold. We're anxious to see if the MDX's measurables have improved with the new transmission and suspension, and it seems Acura has taken one of our favorite luxury SUVs and made it incrementally better.

The Georgia World Congress Center Authority board Monday morning unanimously approved terms that are intended to provide the framework for a deal on a new downtown stadium for the Atlanta Falcons.
The board, at a special called meeting, OK'd a 24-page non-binding term sheet that will be the basis for further negotiations toward a more definitive, binding agreement between the GWCCA and the Falcons.
The plan is to build a retractable-roof stadium, with a potential cost of around $1 billion, on the GWCCA campus in time for the 2017 NFL season.
Key business terms approved by the board include:
Next step: issuing a request for qualifications (RFQ) to begin the process of hiring a lead architectural firm to design the stadium.
Check back later today for further updates.

JerryfromGA, yes, he is a billionaire. Millionaires and billionaires are use to corporate thuggery… that's how they preserve and increase their wealth. Why, corporate thuggery is as American as guns, god and apple pie. Ain't this neocon of a country just grand???

i stop going no place to tailgate no parking when other things going on . i think it should be put out of atlanta so people can get to it an have lots of parking an tailgating that is why people have stopped coming . i say put it between atlanta an macon . which would be more revenue from that city too

Here's the deal: when Atlanta Public Schools improve enough to bring the state rankings out of the bottom 10 in the nation, the democrats running the city get a new stadium.

From AJC in another article that they SHOULD have quoted this time:
Hotel/motel tax: The GWCCA would contribute, subject to governmental approvals, the proceeds of a revenue bond offering backed by the tax on hotel/motel rooms in the city of Atlanta and Fulton County through the year 2050. The term sheet does not specify the amount that would be raised by the bond offering, although the GWCCA previously has projected the figure in the ballpark of $300 million. The amount "may be positively or negatively impacted" by interest rates and other factors.
So – The Dome lasted 25 years – We're going to replace it one that takes 40 years of hotel tax. I hope Blank gets a better architect for the Dome than Marcus did for the Aquarium…it's just a big tank of water – the sweet little Tennessee Aquarium smacks its gonads.

Don't you think that if the Falcons appear in 2 Super Bowls (not necessarily win them) over the next (3) years, they will be considered a marquee national team.
The Falcons have to "assume control" of their games and not just hold on by their fingernails both offense and defense. We are not there yet. We have a way to go before the unvestment of this magnitude is warranted..

Giving pro football teams money, letting movie studios run charges through Georgia for free money by getting, and then selling, their tax credits – for supposedly being a bunch of conservatives, these Georgia government folks sure like to give away money to the rich.
December 10th, 2012
5:05 pm
You may think it's just out of towners visiting hotels who will pay for it, but who is guaranteeing the bonds? Also, if GA could raise taxes on hotel rooms without affecting their occupancy rates, then why haven't they done it already? They claim they need the money. Are these those rare taxes that increase business? I didn't think they existed.

A lot of folks (like me) are not questioning who/what will pay for it, the question is WHY, when the current dome is only 20 years old. Too many other issues need attention in this city to even consider spending any taxpayer money on this project

Atlanta needs a new Dome????? If Atlanta has any tax wiggle room left they need to spend it on new sewerage plants… Everytime it rains raw sewerage is released down stream… They could also spend it on Atlanta's poor… This is a private business for heaven's sake.. Taxpayer money should not be involved… The Georgia Dome was financed by Taxpayers.. Tear it down???? Insane….. Let Atlanta's colleges use it for sports… Make a convention center out of it… The Romans built a stadium and it's still there 2000 years later.. We can't have one last 20 years????? The reason the Falcons want it torn down is to negate the possibility of competition.. Same reason they tore down Atlanta Stadium…. Maybe we need it to stand so we could have the possibility of attracting another professional team.. After the way the Falcons played Sunday we need to leave the possibility open.. Leave discussion of this until Atlanta wins another Super Bowl… Ha… Never…

Anyone saying this is a bad thing has lost their mind. The dome is a complete Dump! The old games in fulton county were so much because it was outside. And dont complain about the cold. Did you see Green Bay last night. Looked so much fun

It is clear that a large percentage of the current fans will be stuck paying the PSL. It is very interesting that Arthur and Rich avoid saying anything about the PSL. When Arthur purchased the team the metro area bought into his desire to revive the franchise. You do not have another city/team in the NFL that has a such large fan base of working middle class fans supporting the team by buying season tickets. The new stadium (PSL) will drive away many of these fans and turn the new stadium into a country club.

Well, like it or not, Goodell has already said,"no stadium, no Super Bowl". And if you say who cares, well the revenue, and recognition from a Super Bowl will prove once again very lucrative for the city. It is far too nice in Atlanta in the fall for a dome, as well as way too hot in the summer for an outside stadium. And what is the talk of losing the 12th man? Look at Seattle….'nuff said!

The Braves needed to replace Fulton County stadium, the Hawks needed to replace the Omni, but the dome still feels new. Unfortunately the rich and powerful decide how our money is spent, so it's gonna happen. What I wish is that the Gwinnett Mall would be razed and a new dome could go up in Duluth — if that can't happen then in the GM Doraville site.

The country is aleady in the Toilet Bowl with it's trillion dollar deficits and people want to guarantee a billion dollars to build a dome that might have a super bowl every other decade or so???? How many of you can afford a thousand dollar ticket to go to it anyway?? This is only for the elite (the rich)… We peons have to watch it on tv anyway… Atlanta keeps pricing themselves out of the market and they will end up like the city of Detroit.. This is another example of the tail wagging the dog.. Another expensive toy that is only for the 2% that 98% of us will end up paying for through higher taxes that could be better used for infrastructure that is sorely needed……

What is the real reason for a new stadium?…can't be that the Dome is too old…. New Orleans' dome is many years older….and since the GWCC comes under the state goverment shouldn't the rest of the countys in the state pay their share of the tax…and finally the Falcons are only paying a small 2.5 million dollars annual rent and getting all revenue….if Arthur wants a new stadium to keep up with Jerry then let him build it himself…..

The Georgia Dome was financed by Georgia taxpayers to the tune of $214 million dollars when it was finished in 1992.. How much of this has been repaid to the state?? If the post on here that says the Falcons pay 2.5 million a year in rent.. Is there a balance sheet showing where Georgia taxpayers from Tybee Light to Rabun Gap stand on their investment??? Is there another private business in the state that is subsidized by taxpayer money?? Tear down the Dome?? That is the same mentality that tore down Atlanta Stadium and made a parking lot out of it.. They spent more to tear it down than they did to build it……

I understand Arthur wants to show off with his other rich friends, but why oh why tear down the Dome?

Waste of money. Bad location. Nothing wrong with the current Dome. Bad parking . High crime area. Money could be really used for other and better purposes. Do you really think people are going to pay more for tickets just to see a new retractable roof stadium. Maybe for a year or two, but after that ticket sales will drop off (especially if the Falcons are not a play off team) and it will take 572 years to pay the thing off. But don't worry, by that time they will have built 23 new stadia will will neber be paid off.

Total waste of money. If they kept the old Fulton County Stadium and renovated it for a 100 million, the crybaby Falcons could have a wonderful open air stadium. Twenty years from now they will be crying that they need a dome- for what? No superbowl champions, no new stadium. Ga Tech will gladly rent them their open air stadium. And why tear down a money making excellent 25 year old domed stadium- for what?

When the Braves & Falcons moved into ATL Stadium in 1966 it cost $17MM to build and when they moved out they still owed $17MM. The City of ATL just serviced the debt and used the money earmarked to pay it off, elsewhere. Turner FIeld was a Quarter Billion-dollar gift from the Olympis but ticket prices rose anyway. Like in NY, you can't build anythingi in ATL until you pay off the teamsters , the mob and the thugs that run ATL.. Last time we hosted the Super Bowl, someone died.

This wide-ranging recording includes "songs about ships, seafaring men, watery graves, card sharpers, a giant ram, an Indian scalping, and one edible rat." Richard Dyer-Bennet (1913–1991) played a major role in the folk music revival of the 1950s and '60s. He founded his own record label in 1955 in order to maintain artistic control over the sound quality, repertory, and style of his performances. His meticulously cultivated vocal and guitar styles, high tenor range, and studied delivery of poetic text attracted adoring audiences across North America and Europe.

Woodworker's Journal
Chris Marshall: One way or the other, getting down to bare wood is going to require stripping off the old paint. You might be able to have them dipped, but is that worth the cost? Only an estimate from a refinishing company can answer that question. If you do the work yourself, the real clincher here is how to do it safely and efficiently. I've removed really old paint from cabinets using thick liquid chemical stripper from a home center. It's definitely not a fun job, but it's much safer than creating sanding dust that's potentially laced with lead or creating hazardous fumes by stripping the paint with a heat gun. If you're patient and scrape carefully, the liquid stripper will take it all off. Use a coarse synthetic pad and more liquid stripper to remove the paint from contoured moldings and to clean up the flat surfaces. If you need to do any sanding to complete the job (presuming here that the cabinets are pulled off the wall, which given the mess and potential paint toxicity is probably a good idea), wear a respirator -- not one of those flimsy "dust masks" but one with cartridges on it that is approved for hazardous particles like asbestos or lead. I'd take the cabinets outside to sand them where there's plenty of good ventilation.

Britney Spears took a huge amount of amphetamines the night she was strapped to a stretcher and placed on a 5150 hold -- so claims Sam Lutfi's lawyer in the opening statements of his defamation case.
Lutfi's lawyer, Joseph Schleimer, told the jury, on January 28, 2008, Britney had an amphetamine script filled. Schleimer says she took 6 to 8 pills early in the day, and several more later and went off the rails.
Lutfi's lawyer also said he tried to get Britney to meet with a psychiatrist 2 days before she was 5150'd, but Brit refused.
And there's this ... during Britney's disastrous appearance on the MTV Awards in 2007, Lutfi felt she was such a mess she shouldn't do it, because she was overweight and didn't rehearse, but Britney wouldn't hear it.
Can this man please **** off and die already.
TMZ, you really are *******s. Who cares what this drug supplying slime ball says? Whatever happened to her, he was a huge part of it. We all know she did drugs. No story here.
She wasn't overweight!!!! She was maybe a size 5 instead of a size 2 and her outfit was ill-fitting and unflattering for anyone
Get over her dude!
And TMZ is resurrecting this ancient news because?? Go find the current news.Like why is Kim K.s divorce
being held up? Or something recently developing.
As much as I want to dislike this guy, he seems to make some valid points. It's obvious she was going through some serious drug/mental issues during this time, but if she was so messed up how is she competant enough to sign a contract making him her manager? This will be interesting.
...seriously....TMZ...u have posted alllllllllllllllllllll of these events b4.......why are u doing this too her?????????????????????????????????...why r u giving Lufti the advantage of his name in the press again...u know he is loving it!!!!!!!!!....this girl doesn't deserve u re-hashing her past again...haven't u made enuff off of her with hits?????????????
Strung out on meth and overweight? Lufti is such an idiot & s*** bag.
Who cares, it's old news. She's better now. This Lutfi dude needs to get over it already.
So--is his entire legal case that he is going to trash Britney? How's that supposed to help him? And it's all nothing he can prove. He seems desperate.
Sam's a loser snitch
slow news, huh, TMZ?
seriously? you people, TMZ, are like ambulance chasers. So what..that's her business and why rehash this crap now. i wish you stalkers would be shut down. she's fine now and a good mother, takes care of her kids, is apparently in a strong relationship and fought back and is doing well.

Carole Swid Eisner '58 is a painter and a sculptor whose elegant sculptures made from scrap and recycled metal have been exhibited in dozens of public parks, corporate plazas, cultural centers, museums, and waterfronts in Connecticut, New York, Massachusetts, New Jersey, and Florida, as well as in Belgium and France.
A member of the Silvermine Guild of Artists of New Caanan, Connecticut, Eisner has had more than 20 solo shows and 20 group shows. Her work is held in private, public, and corporate collections, including those of the Guggenheim Museum, Knoll International, Southeast Banking Corporation in Miami, and the Northstar Reinsurance Company, Seattle. She has been featured in The New York Times, New York Magazine, Who's Who in American Art, Vogue, and New York Newsday.
Eisner received a bachelor's degree in fine arts from the College of Arts and Sciences. After graduation, she launched a career in New York's fashion industry, winning distinction as one of Mademoiselle magazine's 10 outstanding young women in 1961. She was a sketcher for several New York City designers and created junior sportswear and dress lines for Juniorite.
In support of Syracuse University, Eisner and her brother, Stephen Swid, named a room in the Shaffer Art Building in honor of their mother, the late Selma Claar Swid. Through the Eisner Family Foundation, Eisner and her husband, Richard, are annual donors to the University.
In addition, Eisner has been generous in sharing her artwork with the University community. She has had two solo exhibitions at Lubin House, and permanently loaned four of her works to the University, including Swoosh, which was placed in Forman Park on the Connective Corridor, and Dogon, which adorns the lawn of the Comstock Art Facility. In 2012, Eisner agreed to donate Swoosh to the University. And with her permission, the remaining two sculptures were loaned to Onondaga Community College to forge a relationship between the two schools and their sculpture programs.

Gilmer became the first team to contain Cedartown super back Nick Chubb last week, holding the state's leading rusher to 74 yards and 23 carries in a 38-0 shutout.
It was the first time that Chubb – who has nearly 2,500 yards in nine games – had been held to less than 116 yards or that Cedartown has been held to fewer than 21 points.
"We were able to get to him before he could really get going,'' Gilmer head coach Wes Tankersley said.
The key defender was probably inside linebacker Jason Dover, who had seven solo tackles and seven assists. But it was a team effort. Gilmer had five tackles for losses.
Gilmer ran a 4-4 defense and kept all eight in the box and played man-to-man on Cedartown's receivers. Gilmer had two fourth-down stops in the red zone tackled Chubb on a fake punt attempt at midfield.
''The players did a great job tackling and getting to him at the line of scrimmage,'' Tankersley said. "We did a bunch of work during the week with our defensive personnel packages. When Cedartown went to Power I, we had certain personnel in the game. When they were in the I, we had certain personnel in the game to try and match up better.''
Chubb's game-by-game numbers remain unworldly. He's run for 395, 393, 366, 359, 313, 244, 182, 116 and 74 in the best regular season for a rusher in state history.
Meanwhile, Gilmer has a bigger game Friday at Northwest Whitfield. The winner will qualify for the state playoffs.

I think they're real but he's def. injected either silicon or saline. There's this guy that shows up at the Korean sauna I go to and it's obvious he's doing something similar. Honestly I think it's gross.
