The Georgia men's and women's track and field teams closed out the Bulldogs' 2011-'12 sports year at the NCAA Outdoor Championships, producing several individual All-American performances.
The Georgia Bulldogs' weekend was full of highs and lows, as twelve track and field athletes qualified for the NCAA Outdoor Championships but the softball team saw its season end in the Knoxville Super Regional.
We all know the Georgia Bulldogs' G-Day spring football scrimmage was played in Sanford Stadium yesterday, but this week also saw important games in baseball, lacrosse, soccer, softball, and track and field. Dawg Sports gets you up to speed.
On Friday, the Georgia Bulldogs began the weekend with a pair of lacrosse victories, six personal bests in track and field, and an impressive women's gymnastics performance against the No. 1 Utah Red Rocks on the road.
On a busy Saturday for the Georgia Bulldogs, the women's gymnastics team set a season-high score, the women's swimming and diving team extended its SEC winning streak, and the men's track and field team shattered a school record.
The Georgia Bulldogs track and field teams carded a trio of wins at this weekend's Auburn Invitational, where a Red and Black freshman turned in a track time that put her in the top ten all-time in the school record book.
Saturday was a busy day for the Georgia Bulldogs, who fielded teams in equestrian, men's swimming and diving, men's tennis, track and field, and women's soccer. Dawg Sports tracks the results in the Sunday summary.

Sorry that I haven't been around very much lately! My father has been ill and in hospital for the past two months. He's on the road to recovery now and that means that I have more space in my brain to concentrate on bringing you all more book recommendations and blog posts!
Here are some of the books I've been reading and enjoying lately. Feel free to share in comments your own recommendations and/or write your own lists and reviews in the blog section and send them over to me. I love hearing about them. If there are particular things you'd like to see featured in these (hopefully regular) blog posts about books, let me know!

If you haven't heard, there have been some really troubling stories about manipulative and even possibly abusive relationships between online creators and their fans.
While that situation certainly spurred me to make this video, I also think a video like this is long overdo. We're excited to be facing these problems head-on, because the only way out is through.
Thanks to our task force for helping me edit this video and make sure I wasn't too clumsy with the work, especially to Sahitya.
Here are some resources put together by the task force:

L. and Ora Mae Hathcoat McAdams. Mrs. Nix loved to work in her yard and raise vegetables and roses and loved helping people.She was also preceded in death by her husband, Cleburne A. Nix; one son, David Nix; four brothers, Gilbert, Marshman, J.W., and Ervin McAdams, and one sister, Betty Lockard.

Jack Ervin McGhee passed away June 4 in Benton. He was born March 5, 1934 in Adona to James and Arizona McGhee.
He was employed by Alcoa in Benton, retiring in 1996.  He loved fishing on Lake Nimrod and working in his garden.Â
Mr. McGhee was preceded in death by his parents; brothers, Lonnie and Johnny McGhee; sisters, Ruby Herndon, Maxine Phillips, Earline Massey; and son-in-law, Trey Geyer.Â

There are three incidents that easily made Eric Porter the clear choice of the Benton Police Department's 2011 Officer of the Year recipient.
In 2011, 30-year-old Porter literally walked into fire and smoke filled apartments; despite a man with a weapon holding his family hostage, Porter snuck the two children out and convinced the man to put down his weapons and walk out; and third, he talked a suicidal man off the Alcoa Road overpass, which is directly above Interstate 30. But probably his greatest attribute, is that he gives the recognition of a "well-done-job" to those around him.
Photos are now available from the Bryant Hornets and Lady Hornets run to the 7A State Championship. Go to 'order photos' on the Saline Courier website and choose the folder to take you to pics.
LITTLE ROCK – The Bryant Black Sox Senior (19-under) American Legion baseball team went to Buddy Coleman Field at Central High School in Little Rock and shutout out the Little Rock Blues 7-0 on Tuesday night. The Black Sox improved their season record to 3-0 after beating Cabot 11-5 in the first game of the year and topping Benton 9-0 last Wednesday.
Last summer The Saline Courier introduced readers to a 2-year-old boy named Easton Begoon who had been diagnosed on July 25, 2011, with T-cell leukemia.
The community responded in droves to help the family with everything from financial aid — and the medical bills still continue to mount today — to prayers and emotional support. In fact, Alan Gibson of the Red Cross told the Courier how overwhelmed his staff was to see Saline County residents donate 150 pints of blood at three different events in three days.

Liverpool to face Gomel in Europa
Liverpool will face FC Gomel in the Europa League third qualifying round after the Belarusian side completed a 2-1 aggregate victory over FK Renova of Macedonia.
Gomel lost Thursday night's second qualifying round second leg 1-0 at home to Renova following a 56th-minute goal from Ersen Asani but their 2-0 lead from the first leg ultimately proved enough to send them through to a clash with five-time European champions Liverpool.
The first leg, which will be the first competitive game in charge of Liverpool for new manager Brendan Rodgers, will take place in Gomel on August 2, with the return match being played at Anfield on August 9.

Crinkled Tie-Front Shrug 3 3
Sleeves too tight. I loved the fabric and it would have been perfect for the spring/summer especially for those of us who don't want aging arms to show. However, the elastic at the wrists was way too tight. It might be okay for someone who is thin or has thing wrists or who doesn't have an issue with things that are tight. I would have kept it if the wrists were loser. March 27, 2014

Hey guys,
does anyone know how to install more than one instance of the same app on the springboard?
I have several myspace accounts and would like to have one myspace-app for each account. Of course each app needs to keep it's own settings so I guess it might be a bit tricky?
Thanks for your support

Monday To Sunday From 11:00 AM To 03:00 PM
Neighborhoods: French Quarter - CBD, French Quarter
Instead of the Traditional.. GET THE JUDGE BOSETTA – Expect a line when you get here. But well worth the wait. Plenty of dining space in the back if the front tables are all taken (and they will be.) With well over 20 choices of amazing Po Boys you MUST check out Johnny's when in NoLa
Still the Best Po-Boy – What I loved about Johnny's is that they really try hard to please. They are so willing to correct any thing you want. If you are from another state they make you feel at home. When we went in, they were training new people. They were telling the po-boy maker to put more food on it. It was was falling off. They really mean business there. Good eats. If it isn't the way you want, go back up, they will fix it!....
Very good, but could be much better. A victim of its own success? – I ate lunch at Johnny's today, after reading great reviews on this site and others. When I arrived, I LOVED the unpretentious atmosphere and thought that the staff was very, very nice. An 11 on a scale of 1 to 10. I ordered a sausage po-boy, and my buddy ordered a shrimp po-boy. We both ordered gumbo, too. Overall, our food was above average. The bread for the po-boy was flaky and flavorful. Problem was, Johnny's skimped on the meat (shrimp on my buddy's and sausage on mine). The sandwich had really good flavor, overall, but the ratio of bread to substance was too high (way too little meat). On both po-boys, there was no meat for the last two inches of sandwich.
I was disappointed, given the ratings of the restaurant, and given its reputation. Perhaps it is the best in New Orleans. If so, that is a sad statement, as better po-boys may be available in other cities (like Chicago, where I live) than in their native cities. I found the same to be true of Pat's and Geno's of Philadelphia. Almost all bread and very little meat. To me, this is a sign that Johnny's success may have gotten to its head, and that it may have forgotten what got it there. They've tried to skimp and risk ruining their reputation as a result. Shame. Good guys, those folks at Johnny's.
A New Orleans must – My husband and I discovered this place about 15 years ago. They truly have the best po' boys I have ever eaten. Since then, we have been back many times to New Orleans, and we must always eat there at least once. The shrimp and oyster po' boy are the very best. We are going again in July, and this will be one of the first places we stop.
This place is a MUST! – There is a reason everyone says to go here.... The food was amazing! I would have eaten here every meal if I could. You have to stop here for breakfast or lunch.
New Orleans at its best – You will not get a better meal in New Orleans. Very New Orleans Very Big Very fantastic. The po boys are better than any I have had in the city.
thumbs up all the way – The crab po-boy rocks. Gumbo, gotta try it at least once to decide for yourself. Big portions for an okay price.
somethin for everybody – excellent selection of huge poboys served on good bread. they are big enough to split, if ya dont youll be totally stuffed..
Amazing po' boys! – I just got back from a fantastic trip to New Orleans! We stumbled upon Johnny's Po-Boys on our last day for lunch- soo good! It's very casual- step up to the counter and order your meal, grab a seat and enjoy! I had one of the po' boys (it was called Judge <blank- can't remember>)- it had ground beef and three types of sausages (italian, andouille, etc.), lettuce, tomatoes, mayo all wrapped in the freshest, softest bread! It was absolutely delicious!! It's cheap, too! My 12-inch po' boy was only $6-7!! I highly recommend this place!!

Staff Sgt. Saul Mendoza: I take pride in putting on the uniform every morning because it stands for something. I've done something.
Senior Airman Jessica Eastburn: The notion of service, to me, means helping your community, be that the community that you live in, or your military community.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Rafael Whitson: What makes me proudest to serve my country is that not everybody does it. It's something that you have to choose to do.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Vanessa Valdes: What makes me the most proud is being able to volunteer to deploy to Iraq.
Petty Officer 2nd Class Andrew Crandall: I feel like, since I'm in the Navy, I can do my small part, help out the country and maybe make it a little bit better in the process.
Senior Airman Jonathan Massey: Everybody in the Military has that respect level, just for the flag, for our different troops.
Cadet Ryan Cho: I think service means a lot of different things to a lot of different people, but for me, I think serving in the Military is, I think, the best option of service.
Spc. Tiffany Dusterhoft: Every mission that I've done, honestly, every mission makes a difference.
Capt. Paul Cheval: For me to be privileged to the point of leading these men over in Iraq, and it was a war zone for me, that's an accomplishment I'll never forget. And I can't tell you how much it means to me, to be entrusted to lead American Soldiers that raise their hand and say, "You know what? I'll volunteer to fight this nation's wars. You can send me."

It was a beautifully decorated, and in a great location, really nice and clean. There was a bit of noise from the street during the night, but otherwise very comfy. The only disappointment was that there was no breakfast in the morning like it was advertised (except for some frozen bread in the freezer and juice in the fridge). This might have been because it was Sunday and there was no one working? Not sure. Otherwise it was a lovely place to stay.

I booked this hostel because are the time of my visit there was very little available (long weekend) so I was lucky to find somewhere to stay. The room I was in was a 4 bed dorm and it was tiny, there was barely any room between the beds and the other room I saw was smaller. There was only one bathroom accessible that I saw and it contained toilet and shower. The location is great right near the cathedral and shopping strips (for those that want it) and bars near by.

Hustle & Flow
The International Pool Tour hopes to do for pool what the World Poker Tour did for poker
Michael Kaplan
From the Print Edition:
David Caruso, Jan/Feb 2007
When a publicist calls and tells me that the biggest pool tournament in the history of the game is set to take place in Las Vegas, two words spring to mind: side action. I imagine all the players being eliminated and gambling among themselves for many thousands of dollars. To me, that is infinitely more interesting than the sanctioned event. Still, this tournament, officially known as the North American Open, sounds like a big-money deal.
It marks the debut of an International Pool Tour tournament. Modeled after the World Poker Tour and the PGA Tour, the IPT is designed to bring pool into the mainstream, complete with an obscure cable channel (the Versus network, which is best known for its National Hockey League coverage) on which to view tournaments, loads of prize money ($2 million) and boxing announcer Michael Buffer slated to kick off the final with a pool-centric version of his patented Let's get ready to rumble.
Considering what's at stake, the caliber of competitors, and that pool and gambling are inextricably linked, I figure that the action at the Las Vegas Cue Club and Lou Butera's Pool Sharks will be compellingly juicy. So I head to the Venetian Resort Hotel Casino, where the event is being held, and realize that it has attracted a sizable blue-chip crowd. An upstairs ballroom is wall-to-wall pool tables and players. Some of the biggest names in the game—including such international stars as hard-gambling Efren Reyes, British snooker champ Jimmy White and Keith McCready, who cameoed as high-flying Grady Seasons in The Color of Money—have flown in from more than 25 countries to compete.
The room is adorned with giant black-and-white blowups of pool greats from the past, and a new generation of players appears stoked to be getting its due. As far as the cognoscenti here are concerned, this tournament represents the turning point for a game that seems to have missed gambling's great gravy train. While poker has made it big on TV, sports betting has cleaned up on the Internet and casinos have popped up like daisies across the country, pool has failed to escape the smoky rooms and slightly sleazy image that characterize the game.
According to Kevin Trudeau, multimillionaire direct-marketing entrepreneur, ex-con and best-selling author of the controversial Natural Cures "They" Don't Want You To Know About, all that is about to change. Trudeau, a longtime lover of pool and an avid gambler, is the visionary and moneyman behind the IPT. He comes off as a bit of an oily huckster—his right-hand man, tour director Deno Andrews, has been repeatedly assuring me there'll be tons of gambling—and maybe that's a requirement for bringing this game into the twenty-first century. "Pool had been on TV forever," says the well-dressed and bodyguarded Trudeau, as balls collide and players strategize around him. "But it was boring. They played 9-ball, a game that nobody plays anymore. They didn't introduce you to the players, so you didn't get a chance to know them and care about them. And because they did not play for serious money, there was no drama."
One can't argue the fact that Trudeau has created an impressive prize package. And IPT events have a tinge of reality television (viewers get to know the players and learn how they got where they are) and players will develop into personalities. The game being played on the tour is 8-ball, which is the most common form of pool and will be accessible to viewers. Trudeau has encouraged contenders to be themselves, to show emotion rather than act in the blasé manner one usually associates with guys who shoot stick on TV. Trudeau figures that a compelling Web site (he later tells me that the site had "a couple hundred thousand unique visitors" during two tournament days) and sharp editing will imbue the IPT shows with the necessary degree of glitz. "Viewing this as an untapped opportunity," says the hard-selling Trudeau, "I figured I could have a lot of fun and that it could be a huge financial bonanza."
Already the IPT is grabbing attention in Europe. The final match at the Venetian—a showdown between German master Thorsten Hohmann and Filipino ace Marlon Manolo (who is regarded as one of the best in the game)—aired live and in its entirety across the continent by Eurosport. Seventeen announcers, speaking in as many languages, occupied booths inside a Eurosport studio in France and commentated on the live action being beamed to them and to their home nations. Altogether the tournament was seen in more than 50 countries.
The tour seems slick and buttoned down and well financed. Now it just needs to find an American audience. As Johl Younger, an Australian player who went from pool to the business world, puts it, "This [the North American Open] is the best tournament around. The venue is first-class, the prize money is great, and we're staying in a top hotel. If this doesn't succeed, it won't be due to anything that Kevin has [or hasn't] done."
I'd be inclined to agree with him. Still, something is missing: the promised side action. Most players I speak with bristle when I mention that I want to watch them gamble. Even the ones who are searching for opponents to wager against seem to be coming up empty. Keith McCready, a doughy guy with a shortage of front teeth, and a giant personality, would love nothing more than to find somebody to wager against. He's continually trying to scare up backers who'll finance a match and comes close a few times.
At one point he gets into it with Ike Runnels, a dapper hustler from the Chicago area. With lots of macho posturing, they talk about putting together a match for $10,000 a game, negotiate terms ("You're a damned one-pocket mechanic," McCready crows) and agree to play that night.

As Apple prepares to report second-quarter earnings after the bell Tuesday, Wall Street analysts and investors are still trying to pinpoint what sent shares of the tech giant tumbling over the past eight months. But while some blame the passing of former CEO and co-founder Steve Jobs, rising competition from Samsung or even a failure to innovate, the real reason may be much less obvious: The launch of the iPhone 4S.
Released in October 2011, the iPhone 4S represented a change in strategy for Apple. There wasn't anything wrong with the product, though some critics blasted it for being only an incremental physical improvement over the iPhone 4. Same goes for presentation itself, which came the day before Jobs' death. In fact, most everything about the launch, including the marketing, went about as well as could be expected.
The big switch was the timing—launching the product in October, instead of June. Before the 4S, every iPhone had gone on sale in the summer. I'm not sure why. That's just when the launches arrived, like the swallows to Capistrano, right around the time of Apple's annual Worldwide Developer Conference.

And those previous iPhones launched to massive demand and inadequate supply. That demand would then build through the rest of the year and peak in the holiday season, when Apple would ship millions of phones to all corners of the planet and still not have enough to satisfy every customer who wanted to buy one. "We're not sure when we'll be able to meet demand—we're selling every iPhone we can make" was a common refrain from Cook, who has been the point man on Apple's earnings calls for more than a decade.
So when Apple adjusted things in 2011, it seemed to make a lot of sense. Why not launch the world's hottest consumer product at the beginning of the season when people spend the most money on consumer products? Build up an enormous supply, and then do the biggest global launch possible?
Look at iPhone sales and you can see what happened. In the holiday quarter of 2011, the first full quarter of the iPhone 4S, Apple logged its largest (and most dramatic) year-over-year shipment spike ever, going from 16.24 million units the year before to 37.02 million units—a 128 percent increase. In case anyone thought that was a fluke, Apple followed that mind-blowing quarter with another: the March quarter of 2012 clocked in with 35.1 million iPhones shipped.
Apple shares took off. On Jan., 24 2012, the day of Apple's holiday season earnings report, Apple stock closed at $420 per share. The next day it spiked more than 5 percent on the earnings blowout, and went on a nearly uninterrupted climb upward until early April, where it peaked above $630. It sold off a bit until Apple's next quarterly report—another blowout—bumped around for a month, and then went on another pretty steady climb to just over $700.
We all know where it went from there. The stock has tumbled more than 40 percent to just below $400, very close to where it was before that first earnings report after the iPhone 4S launch.
So here's my theory about what went wrong: By moving the iPhone launch date to the holiday quarter, Apple unleashed some unintended consequences. Mainly, it introduced an era of unpredictability and volatility to iPhone sales. Look at the trend in iPhone sales before the December 2012 quarter and then after. What seemed like a major acceleration in sales growth after the switch was likely fueled by Apple creating a new customer habit around waiting for big holiday launches.
(Read More: Apple Earnings: What Shareholders Will Watch For in Report)
A couple of other events exacerbated the problem. One was a tough comparison: That blowout holiday quarter in 2011 happened to be a week longer than usual, making the results look even more impressive. And that next quarter, where iPhone shipments dropped less than 2 million units? It happened to coincide with a major iPhone launch in China, Apple's fastest-growing market. Those are two things that haven't repeated in the same way this year.
It took investors a little more than a year to figure out what was going on—that the huge spike in earnings growth was temporary. As a result, Apple shares have reacted harshly (some might argue, too harshly) to the downside.
So what about the other problems that critics say afflict Apple stock? What about the margins under pressure, and the stiffer competition from other hardware makers?
Here's how I see it: Apple's margins are lower every two years. It's because Apple updates the design of the iPhone, its highest-margin product, and shoulders a lot of costs up front from new manufacturing expenses. The 38.6 percent margin Apple reported last quarter was the same as the margin two years earlier when it was ramping up production of its iPhone 4. In the March quarter two years ago, Apple reported 41.4 percent margins, which is notably higher than the 38 percent where Apple guided for 2013's March quarter. But don't forget that Cook & Co. just refreshed the iPad and introduced a low-cost iPad mini a few months ago. So it's reasonable to expect margin expansion to take longer this time.
That's not to say Apple is home free. Samsung is a formidable challenger in smartphones, and it is making lots of noise in tablets, along with Amazon and Google. But remember how people said in September that the $199 Kindle Fire HD meant Apple could never hope the iPad mini would be a hit at $329? Well, it is.
All that means is that Apple is not doomed, as some would have us believe. It hasn't lost its cool, though some rivals have certainly gotten cooler.
The challenge for Tim Cook and the rest of his team at Apple is to cut ties with the chaos of the last 18 months, and get back into a rhythm.

Court Opinions
CRIMINAL PRACTICE: Murder, Aggravated Assault, Battery, Severance, Effective Assistance of Counsel, Jury Charges; EVIDENCE: Character, Relevance, Motive, Hearsay Exception, Explaining Conduct
Alert: Evidence that the defendants brutally kicked the murder victim in his head and torso while he was on the ground, causing injuries from which the victim died three weeks later, supported their convictions for felony murder.
Subject Matter Index: First defendant's convictions for felony murder, aggravated assault and simple battery, and second defendant's conviction for felony murder, affirmed, as evidence supported them; after arguing over drug debt, first defendant threatened both victims with razor blade, hitting aggravated assault victim and, two months later, striking murder victim in back of his head, causing him to fall on asphalt face first; second defendant, who was standing some distance away, joined first defendant in brutally kicked murder victim in head and torso, causing injuries from which victim died three weeks later; trial court properly denied first defendant's motion for directed verdict on aggravated assault charge, since first defendant threatened to cut that victim and hit him with razor blade; trial court properly denied first defendant's motion to sever aggravated assault charge from later crimes, since both incidents involved continuing dispute over drug debt and occurred in close physical and temporal proximity to each other; trial court properly admitted evidence that first defendant was angry with murder victim over drug debt, since evidence was relevant to issue of motive and fact that it may have incidentally placed defendant's character at issue did not render it inadmissible; trial court properly admitted aggravated assault victim's statements to officers regarding earlier incident, since defense counsel's questions about why first defendant was not arrested for aggravated assault placed officer's conduct at issue and victim's statements tended to explain officer's conduct; first defendant's trial counsel was not deficient for failing to adequately prepare for trial, for failing to investigate potential witnesses, or for failing to raise futile objection to aggravated assault victim's admissible statement to officers; trial court properly denied second defendant's motion to sever his trial from that of his co-defendants, since second defendant made no showing of prejudice; trial court did not reversibly err in failing to sua sponte instruct jury that it must consider evidence against defendants separately and that guilt of one defendant did not require guilty verdict against others.
Headnote: The Supreme Court affirmed Desmond Griffin's convictions for felony murder, aggravated assault and simple battery and Charlie Boyd's conviction for felony murder, holding that the evidence supported them. After arguing over a drug debt, Griffin threatened both victims with a razor blade, hitting the aggravated assault victim and, two months later, striking the murder victim in the back of the head, causing him to fall on the asphalt face first. Boyd, who was standing some distance away, joined Griffin in brutally kicking the murder victim in the head and torso, causing injuries from which the victim died three weeks later. The Court also held that the trial court properly denied Griffin's motion for a directed verdict on the aggravated assault charge, since Griffin threatened to cut that victim and hit him with a razor blade in his hand. Next, the trial court properly denied Griffin's motion to sever the aggravated assault charge from the later crimes, since both incidents involved a continuing dispute over a drug debt and occurred in close physical and temporal proximity to each other. The trial court properly admitted evidence that Griffin was angry with the murder victim over a drug debt, since the evidence was relevant to the issue of motive and the fact that it may have incidentally placed Griffin's character at issue did not render it inadmissible. The trial court properly admitted the aggravated assault victim's statements to officers regarding the earlier incident, since defense counsel's questions about why Griffin was not arrested for aggravated assault placed the officer's conduct at issue and the victim's statements tended to explain the officer's conduct. Griffin's defense counsel was not deficient for failing to adequately prepare for trial, for failing to investigate potential witnesses, or for failing to raise a futile objection to the aggravated assault victim's admissible statement to officers. Finally, the trial court properly denied Boyd's motion to sever his trial from that of his co-defendants, since Boyd made no showing of prejudice; and the trial court did not reversibly err in failing to sua sponte instruct the jury that it must consider the evidence against the defendants separately and that the guilt of one defendant did not require the return of a guilty verdict against the others.
Text: Thompson, Hugh P., Presiding JusticeAfter a jury trial, appellants Desmond Griffin and Charlie Boyd were found guilty of the felony murder of James Clark based on the underlying felony of aggravated assault. Griffin was also found guilty of separate charges of aggravated assault against Ronald Rosson and the simple battery of Clark.1 Appellants' motions for new trial were denied, and they appealed to this Court. Finding no reversible error, we affirm.
1. Viewed in the light most favorable to the verdict, the jury was authorized to find that in April 2006 Griffin and another man went to Clark's home to collect on a drug debt. When Clark refused to pay, Griffin and Rosson, who was visiting Clark, began arguing. Griffin, with a razor blade in his hand, threatened to cut Rosson and made a forward movement toward Rosson. Griffin later told witnesses he hit Rosson and showed them how he held the razor between his fingers as he did so. Two months later, Clark approached Griffin on the street in an effort to purchase drugs. After speaking for a moment, Clark walked away. Griffin also walked away, then turned around and struck Clark in the back of the head, causing him to fall to the asphalt face first. Boyd, who had been standing some distance away, joined Griffin and the two men brutally kicked Clark in the head and torso, telling Clark, who appeared unconscious, to "go back to sleep." The force of the blows were such that one witness said she could hear the bones in Clark's face being crushed. Appellants left Clark beside the road for several hours, then returned to show others what they had done. Clark was discovered by police the following morning, still alive but unable to respond to officers' questions. He died three weeks later as a result of the blunt force trauma to his head and blows to his torso, never having regained consciousness.
The evidence was sufficient for a rational trier of fact to find appellants guilty beyond a reasonable doubt of all of the crimes for which they were convicted. Jackson v. Virginia, 443 U. S. 307 (99 SC 2781, 61 LE2d 560) (1979). Although Griffin argues his admission that he hit Clark was insufficient to convict him of felony murder based on an aggravated assault, there was evidence from which the jury was authorized to determine that he either directly participated in or was a party to a crime of aggravated assault which caused the death of another. See Skaggs v. State, 278 Ga. 19 (1) (596 SE2d 159) (2004) (evidence of blows to victim's head causing him to fall and suffer serious bodily injury sufficient to support charge of felony murder based on aggravated assault with a deadly weapon).
3. Griffin argues the trial court erred by denying his motion to sever the charge of aggravated assault committed against Rosson in April 2006 from the crimes committed in June 2006. Whenever two or more offenses are joined for trial solely because they are of the same or similar character, a defendant has an absolute right to sever. Stewart v. State, 277 Ga. 138, 139 (587 SE2d 602) (2003). If offenses are not joined solely because of their same or similar character, a trial court must decide whether severance would promote a just determination of guilt or innocence as to each offense. Id. Relevant factors in making this determination include whether, considering the number and complexity of the offenses charged, the "trier of fact can parse the evidence and apply the law with regard to each charge," and whether evidence of one offense would be admissible in a trial of another offense. Id.
Here, the trial court concluded the charges were not joined solely because of their similar character. The court recognized that both incidents involved a continuing dispute over a drug debt owed by Clark to Griffin and occurred in close physical and temporal proximity to each other. Moreover, the trial court correctly determined that evidence of the offenses occurring in April 2006 would be admissible in the trial of the offenses committed in June 2006 to establish motive for the subsequent crimes and found no evidence that trying the offenses together would have confused or misled the jury. See Heard v. State, 287 Ga. 554 (4) (697 SE2d 811) (2010) (evidence of crimes committed on one date admissible in trial of those perpetrated on another date); Vaughns v. State, 274 Ga. 13 (2) (549 SE2d 86) (2001) (evidence of defendant's involvement in prior crime admissible to show motive). Based on these facts, we cannot say the trial court abused its discretion in denying the motion for severance.
4. Consistent with the State's theory in this case, the prosecutor presented evidence that Griffin was angry with Clark because Clark had failed to pay Griffin for drugs and started buying drugs from another supplier. This evidence was relevant to the issue of Griffin's motive for the crimes and was not rendered inadmissible by the fact that it may have incidentally placed his character at issue. We find no error in the admission of this evidence. See Jones, supra, 280 Ga. 205 (2) (a); Collins v. State, 273 Ga. 30, 32 (2) (538 SE2d 34) (2000). It follows that Griffin's counsel was not ineffective by failing to object to this evidence at trial, since any objection would have been fruitless. Id.
5. During trial, Griffin's counsel asked an officer who investigated the April 2006 incident whether he spoke with Rosson about what happened and then elicited testimony from the officer that based on Rosson's statements he did not arrest Griffin for aggravated assault. On re-direct examination, the court allowed the officer to testify regarding what Rosson told him. Because defense counsel's questions about why Griffin was not arrested for aggravated assault placed the officer's conduct in issue and Rosson's statements tended to explain the officer's conduct, Rosson's statements to police were admissible original evidence under OCGA § 24-3-2. See Reeves v. State, 288 Ga. 545 (3) (705 SE2d 159) (2011).
Griffin's argument on appeal that his Sixth Amendment right of confrontation was violated by the admission of the officer's testimony was not the basis for his objection at trial, and therefore, he is procedurally barred from raising this issue on appeal. See Crawford v. Washington, 541 U. S. 36, 40 (124 SC 1354, 158 LE2d 177) (2004); Character v. State, 285 Ga. 112 (3) (674 SE2d 280) (2009). Even assuming, arguendo, that it was error to admit Rosson's statements to the officer because Griffin was not able to confront Rosson, the error in this case was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. See Jackson v. State, 291 Ga. 22 (2) (727 SE2d 106) (2012) (applying harmless error analysis). Rosson's statements to police were cumulative of other properly admitted evidence, including Griffin's own statements to others, establishing that Griffin and Rosson argued over Clark's failure to pay a drug debt and that Griffin beat or punched Rosson with a razor between his fingers.
6. Griffin contends trial counsel rendered ineffective assistance on several grounds. See Strickland v. Washington, 466 U. S. 668 (104 SC 2052, 80 LE2d 674) (1984). In order to prevail on his claim of ineffective assistance, Griffin must show deficient performance on the part of counsel and prejudice to his defense resulting from that deficient performance. Id. Moreover, he must overcome the strong presumption that trial counsel's conduct falls within the broad range of reasonable professional conduct. Cross v. State, 271 Ga. 427, 430 (520 SE2d 457) (1999). On appeal, this Court accepts the trial court's findings of fact, unless they are clearly erroneous. The trial court's legal conclusions are reviewed de novo. King v. State, 282 Ga. 505, 506 (2) (651 SE2d 711) (2007).
(a) Griffin contends counsel performed deficiently by failing to adequately prepare for trial and failing to investigate potential witnesses. At the motion for new trial hearing, defense counsel testified he met with Griffin, discussed the theory of Griffin's defense, and talked about potential defense witnesses. Counsel stated he or his investigator interviewed all potential witnesses whose names were supplied by Griffin. Two of the witnesses Griffin specifically suggests should have been interviewed testified at trial and were cross-examined by counsel but did not provide the testimony Griffin hoped they would provide. A third potential witness was interviewed by Griffin's counsel prior to trial, after which it was determined her testimony would not establish an alibi defense. Decisions concerning the presentation of witnesses founded on legitimate evidentiary concerns are matters of trial strategy and do not constitute ineffective assistance. Brooks v. State, 265 Ga. 548 (4) (458 SE2d 349) (1995). See Reid v. State, 286 Ga. 484, 486 (690 SE2d 177) (2010) (determination of which witnesses to call is a strategic decision within the exclusive province of counsel after consultation with client). Thus, Griffin failed to overcome the strong presumption that counsel's performance fell within the broad range of professional conduct and failed to prove deficient performance.
(b) Nor was counsel ineffective for failing to object to the admission of Rosson's April 2006 statements to police. Even assuming counsel failed to object timely on hearsay grounds or to lodge any objection on confrontation grounds, Griffin has failed to meet his burden under Strickland. As discussed above, the evidence was admissible under OCGA § 24-3-2 and any confrontation error was harmless beyond a reasonable doubt. See supra, Div. 5. Moreover, as Griffin's counsel explained to the trial court at the time Rosson's statements were admitted, counsel wanted to question the officer about his arrest decision in order to highlight to the jury in closing arguments that the officer did not believe an aggravated assault had occurred. His decision to question the officer about the statement thus was trial strategy which Griffin has not shown to be unreasonable.
The question of severance of the trial of defendants for a capital felony where the death penalty has been waived is within the discretion of the trial court. OCGA § 17-8-4. Factors which should be considered in exercising that discretion are (1) whether the number of defendants will create confusion; (2) whether there is danger that evidence against one defendant will be considered against another by the jury despite instructions from the court; (3) whether the defenses of one defendant are antagonistic to defenses of another. [Cits.]
Satterfield v. State, 256 Ga. 593, 596 (351 SE2d 625) (1987). A defendant who seeks severance must show clearly that he will be prejudiced by a joint trial and in the absence of such showing, a trial court's denial of the motion to sever will not be disturbed. Id.; Green v. State, 274 Ga. 686, 688 (558 SE2d 707) (2002).
Boyd has made no showing of prejudice requiring reversal of the trial court's denial of his motion to sever. There is no evidence in the record that Boyd's co-defendants would have been willing to testify at a separate trial, let alone that their testimony would have corroborated his defense of alibi. Although he contends the joint trial allowed the jury to consider against him evidence of the drug debt owed to Griffin, the same evidence would have been admissible at a separate trial to show his motive for the crimes. See Lindsey v. State, 282 Ga. 447 (3) (651 SE2d 66) (2007) (evidence of independent crime admissible to show defendant's motive); OCGA § 24-2-1 (evidence is relevant and admissible if it bears on a material issue). Moreover, there is no evidence that the number of defendants caused confusion. The court properly charged the jury that it was to determine independently the guilt or innocence of each defendant and provided the jury with separate verdicts for each defendant to avoid the potential for confusion. The verdict itself clearly shows the jury was able to understand the law and evidence as it applied to each defendant. See generally Heard v. State, supra, 287 Ga. 554 (4) (defendant's acquittal of some of the charges shows jury fully understood law and evidence).
To the extent that the defense of Boyd's co-defendants may have been antagonistic to his own defense, this in itself is insufficient to warrant the grant of a separate trial absent a showing of harm. Holmes v. State, 272 Ga. 517 (2) (529 SE2d 879) (2000). Neither co-defendant testified or made any statement admitted at trial placing Boyd at the scene of the crime. The fact that counsel for Smith elicited responses from some witnesses confirming their testimony that Boyd was the primary participant in the kicking of Clark after Griffin knocked him to the ground was merely cumulative of the State's evidence against Boyd. See Rhodes v. State, 279 Ga. 587, 590 (619 SE2d 659) (2005); Loren v. State, 268 Ga. 792 (2) (493 SE2d 175) (1997). Accordingly, Boyd failed to show any harm from the joint trial and the trial court acted within its discretion by denying the motion to sever.
8. Boyd also contends the trial court erred by failing to sua sponte instruct the jury that it must consider the evidence against the defendants separately and that the guilt of one defendant does not require the return of a verdict of guilt against the others. While this Court acknowledged in Nicholson v. State, 265 Ga. 711, 714 (462 SE2d 144) (1995), that the "better practice" is to give the instruction at issue, we have held that failure to do so when the instruction is not requested does not constitute reversible error if the court's instructions, viewed as a whole, direct the jury to make a separate determination as to the guilt or innocence of each defendant. McLean v. State, 291 Ga. 873 (SE2d ) (2012). Here, the record reveals that jurors were instructed by the trial court to decide the guilt or innocence of each defendant as to each count separately. The court further explained that when it used the singular term "defendant" in its charge, it referred to each defendant individually. In addition, the court reminded the jury that one defendant was charged on four different counts of the indictment and two defendants were charged in only two counts. With regard to the verdict form, the court explained it contained a separate section for each individual defendant and told jurors to consider the guilt or innocence of one defendant and to then do the same for the other two defendants. Considering the court's instructions as a whole, see Whitaker v. State, 283 Ga. 521, 525 (661 SE2d 557) (2008), we find the jury was properly instructed to make a separate determination as to the guilt or innocence of each defendant. See id.
Judgments affirmed. All the Justices concur.
1The crimes occurred on April 11, 2006 and June 20, 2006. Appellants were indicted by a Troup County grand jury on August 7, 2007, for the felony murder and aggravated assault of Clark. Griffin was also indicted on separate charges of aggravated assault against Rosson and simple battery against Clark. After a jury trial held on June 23-27, 2008, the jury returned verdicts of guilty against appellants on all counts. Griffin was sentenced on June 27, 2008 to life imprisonment for felony murder, a concurrent 12-month sentence on the simple battery count, and a concurrent 20-year sentence on the charge of aggravated assault against Rosson. Boyd was sentenced the same day to life imprisonment for felony murder. The remaining felony charges merged as a matter of law. Griffin's motion for new trial was filed on July 15, 2008, and amended on October 30, 2008, November 6, 2008, and April 18, 2012. It was denied on May 16, 2012. Boyd's motion for new trial was filed on June 21, 2008, amended on November 3, 2008, and denied on May 16, 2012. Boyd filed his notice of appeal on May 18, 2012. Griffin's notice of appeal was filed on May 29, 2012. The appeals were docketed to the September 2012 term of this Court and submitted for decision on the briefs.
2A third co-defendant, Steve Smith, was jointly indicted and tried for the felony murder and aggravated assault of Clark. The jury returned verdicts of not guilty on both charges against Smith.

Lenten Challenge to Welcome the Stranger
Lent is often associated with giving up those things we most enjoy. But in the past few years, it has become one of my favorite seasons—less for what is lost and more for what is gained. This is a season of reflection and renewal, an opportunity to refresh those perspectives we hold of self and others in our communities, nation, and world.
A glance back at the tenets of Catholic Social Teaching reminds me of the importance of recognizing the dignity of each person, the value of solidarity, and the meaning of all people's full participation in community. Too often this is not the experience of the immigrant in our midst. Many experience barriers in accessing medical care or education, do not receive just wages for their labor, or live in fear of family separation.
My few months as an intern here at CLINIC have reaffirmed the notion that this work of striving to honor the dignity of immigrants,
invite them into fuller participation in our communities, and seek to really understand others across barriers is needed and can be seen at many levels. It takes place through the legal services CLINIC's affiliates provide every day, through trainings to continually strengthen these services, through advocacy for policies and programs which promote the dignity of immigrants, and through education on both immigrants' experience of injustice and their contributions in our communities. This Lent, let us consider how we, individually and collectively, live the values of dignity, solidarity, and participation to more fully welcome the foreigner in our midst.
I invite you to join me in welcoming the stranger during this Lenten Season by reflecting on the following points, adapted from USCCB's Examination of Conscience in Light of Catholic Social Teaching. To view USCCB's full examination, please click here [1].
- Do I see all members of the human family, whatever their race, class, or immigration status, as my brothers and sisters?
- Do I support the efforts of all persons, including those who are immigrants, to work for change in their neighborhoods and communities? Do my attitudes and interactions empower or disempower others?
- Do I urge those in power to implement programs and policies that give priority to the human dignity and rights of all, especially the vulnerable and the foreigner in our midst?
