Greene County Archives' Bulletin
Number 15
September 1990
An Index to Greene County Stray Records
1833 - 1913
These are records of stray livestock. During the 19th and early 20th centuries, Missouri statutes provided specific guidelines for individuals finding and harboring lost cattle, horses, mules and other livestock. Before a person could take possession of the stray, he was required to post a notice of intent for at least thirty days and pay a bond to ensure that the animal would not be disposed of in that time. After notices had been posted in public places for thirty days, the finder was required to file a notice with a justice of the peace, who determined if the proper procedure was followed and collected a bond equal to the appraised value of the animal. After one year, if the animal remained unclaimed, half of the bond was returned to the finder. The justice of the peace submitted lists which were provided to the county clerk, who posted the information in the stray books.
The original index is 144 printed pages and is arranged alphabetically by last name. Because of the size of the document, we have divided it into sections according to the alphabet to make it easier to retrieve and view via the Internet. Please choose a section below to browse.

7 Green Cars That Paved the Road for the Model S
As Tesla plans to open its "Gigafactory" to produce lithium ion batteries on a massive scale, imagining electric cars in the mainstream is now possible. Electric vehicles that cover hundreds of miles, cost less than $40,000, and wow onlookers could feasibly sell in the hundreds of thousands every year. Brilliant engineering and the ever-grand vision of Tesla CEO Elon Musk are changing the auto industry.
It's useful to remember that Tesla didn't invent electric cars; it is just trying to perfect them. A decade after an experimental electric offering from General Motors exited the scene, the precursors to the Tesla Model S are apparent. They represent breakthroughs in electric range, style, efficiency, and pure imagination. Without them, it's difficult to see today's EVs hitting their mark. Here are seven cars that paved the road for the Model S.
1. General Motors EV1
To find the most influential (and controversial) electric vehicle of all time, we journey to 1996. The location: Planet Earth; the automaker: none other than General Motors. Sporting a lead-acid battery pack and serving up 137 horsepower, the so-called General Motors EV1 had an impressive range of 70 to 90 miles per charge when it debuted.
By contrast, the 2014 Chevy Volt gets about half that mileage. Its full story is told in the documentary Who Killed the Eletric Car?, but the short version is the EV1 was available only on lease. In 2003, GM collected all its pioneering electric cars and summarily crushed them into scrap metal. Nonetheless, the seeds of the electric dream had been sown.

NEW ORLEANS – They say if you are jailed in Orleans Parish Prison, it can amount to a death sentence. "They" are the loved ones of inmates who have died in the prison.
And as the city and Sheriff Marlin Gusman grapple over the cost of prison reforms, the loved one of dead inmates say they're afraid delaying those reforms could lead to more deaths.
The loved ones of Cayne Miceli, Commander William Goetzee and Michael Hitzman have been waging a personal campaign to abolish what they view as the horrific conditions inside Orleans Parish Prison that contributed to the deaths of all three.
All three inmates were awaiting court hearings when they died in OPP.
"I want people to know that this could happen to their loved one," said Pam Hitzman.
Her son Michael, 32, the married father of two small children, hanged himself with his t-shirt in April 2010. The incident was videotaped on camera inside the jail. It happened before he was even processed into jail, only about two hours after he arrived at the prison's intake processing center.
"My son had depression, anxiety, and a substance abuse problem," Hitzman's mother said.
Michael Hitzman was taken to prison for failing to make a court appearance on a heroin possession charge.
His family says he turned to street drugs when his insurance and prescribed pain killers for a back injury ran out. His twin sister says just a month earlier he was released from University Hospital just 12 hours after she had gotten him committed for his own protection.
"I told them that he was suicidal and he was addicted to heroin. And I'm scared that he's going to kill himself," said Michelle Perdomo, his sister.
In a letter this past April to Sheriff Marlin Gusman demanding better mental health screenings in prison, the U.S. Department of Justice referenced Hitzman's suicide without naming him.
"He was placed in an isolation cell where he was supposed to be closely monitored by ... camera," the DOJ wrote.
"His death could have been stopped at any point because it was filmed on camera," said his mother.
"My brother was dead for an hour before they found him," added Hitzman's sister.
According to the Department of Justice, "OPP's failure to properly screen and monitor likely contributed to his death."
"We hoped that while he was there that he would be cared for, that he would detox. He would be safe. We were very, very wrong," Hitzman's mother said.
In another inciden, the case of Coast Guard Commander William Goetzee's suicide in August of 2011 is, according to DOJ's letter to Sheriff Gusman "…an egregious example of OPP's inadequate monitoring and supervision practices that contributed to his death."
"He had killed himself. He had killed himself by eating toilet paper," said Donna Gauthier, Goetzee's fiancée.
The Department of Justice says it was "suicide by asphyxiation."
Goetzee's fiancée says he seemed to lose control two months earlier while taking prescribed medications after suffering serious injuries in a single car crash. Then last August, she says he jumped into a federal officer's car and tried to grab his gun.
"He said he wanted to kill himself," said Gauthier.
DOJ says Goetzee was placed in a two-man cell on suicide watch with a guard "assigned to constantly observe his behavior to ensure he did not attempt to cause self-harm. The correctional officer left him unmonitored for five hours."
"He was sick. That's all his crime was. That's all his crime was," said his fiancée.
The deputy who left his post, William Thompson, was fired, pleaded guilty to malfeasance and was sentenced to five years probation plus 200 hours of community service.
The U.S. Marshals Service has cited unacceptable prison conditions in removing all federal prisoners from Orleans Parish Prison. But for William Goetzee and his loved ones, it was too late.
"We were going to get married. I wound up planning a funeral instead of a wedding," said Gauthier.
Then there's the death of artist Cayne Miceli, 43, in 2009.
"She didn't have a drug problem. She wasn't a criminal. She was an active member of society," said Sophia Miceli Becker, Miceli's sister.
Her sister says Cayne Miceli was arrested after she became abusive and disruptive when Tulane Medical Center discharged her against her will following treatment for a severe asthma attack.
"They gave her medication that she was highly allergic to. She didn't realize that until she was being discharged, read over the paperwork," said Becker.
DOJ says she was considered "hostile and suicidal" and "was placed in five point restraints even after she repeatedly complained of asthma and breathing distress."
"They strapped her down to a 5 point restraint belt on her back and she suffocated," said her sister.
None of these three people who died in parish prison had even been gone to trial. Their loved ones and other activists say the prison has had 37 questionable deaths since 2006.
They believe the pending federal consent decree may be only part of the solution. They all say Sheriff Marlin Gusman himself is part of the problem.
Eyewitness News asked for an on-camera interview with Sheriff Gusman. Instead, a spokesman sent a statement from the sheriff's medical director, Dr. Samuel Gore.
In part, Gore says, "We are saddened and professionally frustrated when one of our inmate patients passes away. ... For a jail our size, the Orleans Parish jail system is below or near the national average of mortality rates of inmates."
Since several of the families profiled are now suing the sheriff's office, a spokesman said the sheriff cannot respond to individual cases, due to litigation.
In the case of Cayne Miceli, Tulane Medical Center says she "was appropriately discharged" after receiving treatment and was arrested for "assaulting a police officer."

Uno's has been around for less than 2 years and a lot of people don't seem to know that they serve craft beer. My wife and I went in there on our way to the mall over a year ago and haven't felt more welcomed at any other chain restaurant since. They remember our names every time we go in. The managers there seem to do whatever possible to find us and ask our opinions on what they could put on draft next to better serve us and other customers. They recently put on Sixpoint Double Sweet Action just because I told them it was awesome. They change their drafts daily and eagerly anticipate feedback whenever possible. If you haven't been there yet, or weren't happy with their selection in the past, it changes often enough that you would probably love it now. I recommend Uno's to everyone.

The beer devotees who consider a suburban taproom adjacent to a mall to be a ticket to a yellow, fizzy beer experience will be pleasantly surprised by patronizing Uno's in Bensalem.
I stopped there one weekday afternoon after visiting BA and their website. Uno's is under the leadership of Bill - didn't get his last name - a very friendly and capable manager who is also a home brewer and sees to it his customers have the best of the best on tap. There was Bell's, Boulder, Southern Tier, Stone, Stillwater, Dogfish, Dock Street and a local favorite and mine, too - Yards. There was also a special Uno edition of Weyerbacher's Big Ern's IPA. Need I say more?
Of course. The service was friendly and knowledgeable and the food was well executed. When I return to the area, I'm going right back to see Bill at Uno.

Struggled with determining whether or not a chain restaurant deserved its own review, but a few visits have allowed me to shut off that aspect and recognize the solid craft selection this bar brings to the table.
Decorated like a chain restaurant and goes for that nostalgic Chicago feel but blended with Philadelphia sports memorabilia in the bar area... odd mix. Brick and wood all over. Nice 25 or so seat square bar with a large plasma TV on each side in the center and small ones scattered throughout. Plenty of high top, low top and booth seating in the bar area as well. 2 large dining areas to the left and rear of the bar.
The canned menu lists the beer choices as BMC staples, so make sure you request the accurate draft and bottle lists. 20 or so rotating craft taps and a wide bottle selection of 50+ more. Covers all styles and regions from Troegs, Yards and Weyerbacher to Stone, Great Divide and Sam Adams. Events have brought plenty of harder to find things from Russian River or Firestone Walker.
Service is spotty, the bar tender don't seem to be too knowledgeable about the beers themselves, but are pretty good about what has kicked and rotated in. Chatty servers sometimes lead to long waits between pours. Food is decent for a chain place with pizza and fried appetizers being the standards.
Highly recommended for the area or for those at the adjacent mall. Will please craft, noncraft and nonbeer fans alike.

I was surprised to see Uno's doing a Bella Vista event so naturally my interest was sparked.
I never been in a Uno's before but have worked in a chain resturant er uh, 'glorified resturant', there that's better. This was ust like every other chain resturant so really no need to explain the surroundings. The bar was big and confy and crowded with three tenders on, alot of annoying people surrounding me.
I guess people look at me and take pity or just know im the BIRDMAN, the bartender asked if I wanted some pizza 'on the arm', I was like sure. I had a slice or two but can't compare it to Chicago style as I've never been there. It was good. There was also a nine page menu that i did not bother to look at.
On to the beer, I had a very fresh sculpin which was great as it always is, no interference from dirty lines, clean as a whistle. Also had a Sea Monster stout which was blah but that's not the bars fault. Recently Weyerbacher has been brewing a IPA exclusivley for Uno's resturants called 'Big Erns' so there is general interest from the higher ups on craft beer. It's just not a bar stocking up on craft because it's trending. OK maybe a little but I feel UNO's have been doing this for a bit, or got in when the ball was rolling.
It was busy as hell so I could not chat with the three bartenderesses, but they got my dranks quick when they needed to be filled. They were running around like a chicken with it's you know what. They even traded one of my take home boulder pint glasses in for a Dark Horse pint glass which is swell, no disrespect boulder, but come on, step your game up. Good service at the bar, can't mention table service.
All in all, this particular Uno's passes the test and that one is clean beer from clean lines, that was the only thing that I was thinking about beforehand, but my doubts were unfounded, and now I found a new spot to drink when Im at the movies in nessimity, no disrespect Manny Browns, but step your game up, LOL.

Located pretty close to the Parx casino so figured it was time for a try knowing there was a decent tap list here. The bar is nicely separated from the rest of the place. The bar is squared U shaped with about 20 stools around the bar. Dark wood atmosphere with a fireplace tucked in the corner. Plenty of TV to watch your favorite sports. Decent sized crowd around the bar.
There are about 14 beers on draft and they are listed on the blackboard. Some basics like Bud, Guiness, Stella, Miller Lite, and Yuengling. The micros selection was pretty good with Racer 5, Trois Pistoles, two beers from DFH, Bruery Trade Winds, Founder's Breakfast Stout, Ballast Piper Down, Gubna, and Paulaner Oktoberfest. I quickly looked at the beer menu on the bar and it looked like there were about 40 bottles to choose from too.
The food is the typical Uno's fare that is not that good in my opinion, but the deep dish classic pie I had was decent but the thick doughiness reminded me why I prefer thin crust pizza. There are nuts on the bar for snacking which is a nice touch. Service was pretty good and relatively quick.
Definitely a decent place to stop for a pint, but the Hulmeville Inn is right up the road from here.

Who would have thought a chain like Uno's would be rated on Beeradvocate? I was pleasantly surprised when I decided to check out the beer selection one day recently at my local Unos. It was just built about a year ago(2008). There is a good number on tap, about 15; and then there is about another 30 or so in bottle. When I was there, I noticed Pliny the Elder(on-tap), St. Bernardus Apt 12(bottle), Founders Breakfast Stout(on-tap), Lost and Found Abbey Ale(720ml bottle)...just to name a few. There is one or two of the staff around the bar who know their beer too. The food is...well like any other Unos; although Unos happens to be one of my favorite chains as far as food is concerned. They have a great variety in that regard as well.
The atmosphere at the bar is pretty relaxed. The loose tables have pretty comfy seats. The bar itself is very large, with some high top tables as well. There's a bunch of nice size TV's from what I can remember, and they had the Sunday NFL ticket! A different game on each TV. I don't know what to tell you as far as the other seasons are concerned...but fall/winter has plenty of football action on Sundays!
Prices are normal for an Uno's. Some of the rare beers are a little overpriced...some very overpriced; but I guess you may expect that for what it is...and where it is.
Overall, a decent place to have a good meal...with some very good beer!

Social Work at TALLAHASSEE COMMUNITY COLLEGE
TU @ TCC – Your Place to Be for Your Bachelors of Social Work Degree!
Thomas University (TU) has joined the University Center at Tallahassee Community College (TCC) to enable students in Tallahassee to seek at 4 year degree at the TCC Campus.
TU@TCC students are both Thomas University students and TCC students – you are able to utilize the resources at both campuses. This means TU@TCC students are able to access the Learning Center, gym, student union activities, and all services – including Disability Services at Tallahassee Community College. This makes the transition from being a TCC student to a TU@TCC student a breeze!
Classes meet on the TCC campus and are able to utilize all TCC classroom resources.
Can you tell me a little about Thomas University?
Thomas University is a small, private university based in Thomasville, Georgia. It was established in 1950 and has a current student enrollment of around 1,200 students. Thomas University has a number of off-site campuses throughout Georgia and Florida (including Tallahassee) but this is their first program at TCC. Thomas University is a fully SACS Accredited University and has a great retention and graduation reputation due to the close relationship between faculty and students.
What programs are being offered?
Thomas University is establishing an off-site program for their Bachelor of Social Work or BSW degree at TCC. This is a 4 year undergraduate degree that is offered by Thomas University and is accredited by the Council on Social Work Education. What is a program in social work like? The social work curriculum can be reviewed by viewing the "Typical Course Progression for a Social Work Major at Tallahassee Community College" Basically; you need 60 upper division credits on top of your AA for the BSW degree. These credits include classes in social work theory and practice, along with 12 credits (6 for each semester in your senior year), where you are at a field placement where you intern with a social worker at an agency. This gives you real life, practical experience while you are still in school. Students in the BSW program must be able to work two days or 14-16 hours a week during their senior year at their field placement in order to complete the program (400 hours total for the year). Does my A.A. degree from TCC count toward my BSW? Yes! Students who apply and are selected to enter the Thomas University Bachelor of Social Work (TU-BSW) program will be allowed to bring in their TCC AA degree to fulfill their lower division requirements for the TU-BSW. Additional credits may be counted toward elective classes if applicable.
Sounds great! How I find out more information about this?
1. Review the information at the Thomas University Division of Social Work website at www.thomasu.edu/sw . Especially review:
a) The "Great Questions to Ask About Social Work" All of the information that applies to students on the Thomas University Campus, also applies to students at our TCC off-site. Make sure this is a good "fit" for your academic skills and interests.
b) Read about "Facts and Information About Social Work" to get a sense of services social workers provide. Make sure this is a good "fit" for your work skills.
c) Read About "What Can I Do With A Social Work Degree" and you can see all of the kinds of jobs that social workers are involved in. Make sure you feel like this is a good "fit" your employment interests.
2. Call us! We'd be happy to talk with you about your interest in our program. Call 1-800-538-9784 x 1123 and speak with Bill Milford or you can email him at email@example.com .
3. Talk to your TCC Advisor and let them know of your interest. They can help you to review your transcript and prepare your coursework so that your transition to TU from TCC is as smooth as possible!

Over the weekend, Leafs fans at Pension Plan Puppets shared their favorite Gilmour stories. A small forward who overcame his tiny stature, Gilmour ultimately wound up scoring more than 1,400 points in 20 NHL seasons.
Flyers fans at Broad Street Hockey remember Howe, one of the best defensemen to ever play in Philadelphia, and think he should have his number retired by the organization.
The very strong argument can be made that he's the best defenseman to ever play for the team, and he was one of the integral parts -- if not the integral part -- of the injury-riddled team that pushed the dynastic Edmonton Oilers to seven games in the 1987 Finals.
He didn't win a Cup in Philadelphia, but he came as close as you possibly can and was still one of the players that defined a rather awesome decade of hockey in this town
Howe is not only a Flyers legend, but now he's also a hockey legend too. Retiring his No. 2 only makes sense.
At Defending Big D, Dallas Stars fans have extra reason to watch as two of their own enter the Hall. The additions of Nieuwendyk and Belfour only go to show how great the talented Stars were at the turn of the century.
They'll join Brett Hull (already in), Mike Modano (will be soon enough), and players like Sergei Zubov and Jere Lehtinen (who may not get in ultimately but are of the same quality) in underlining the special qualities and talents the Dallas Stars possessed in the late nineties and early aughts. As fans we may not have known it at the time or appreciated it as much as should have, but those teams were built on the backs of not one or two, but many hall of fame players.

It's not hard to appreciate LeBron James' rare combination of athleticism and power, even when he's playing in an NBA game. That's how wide the gap is between James and the rest of the world.
Now, take that gap, add a few more wide gaps to account for the difference between NBA players and the players on the Tunisian national team, and you get this.
And then, later, you get this.
The slow-motion replay really makes the dunk look even cooler. Mohamed Hdidane should have just gotten out of the way.

Packers fantasy focus
In this week's Packers fantasy focus, PFW executive editor and resident Packers expert Dan Arkush focuses on five Packers who just might pack real fantasy punch in the regular-season finale against the Bears.
Bears-Packers matchup of the day: Thursday
Whether the Bears play all of their starters for the whole game or not, the Packers have the weapons at receiver to expose some of the soft spots in Chicago's pass coverage.
Rodgers says injuries to "multiple lower extremities" will keep him out of the Pro Bowl later this month.||||||| Rodgers was to be the NFC's starting quarterback. But the reigning NFL MVP said on his weekly radio show on Milwaukee's ESPN 540 AM on Tuesday that he didn't pass his year-end physical. He wouldn't get into specifics, though he did say injury to his right ankle that landed him on the injury report several times in the second half of the season "has definitely been a problem."
Rodgers connected with an NFL playoff-record 10 receivers as he threw for 274 yards in his first playoff victory at home victory Saturday over the Vikings.||||||| Rodgers went with DuJuan Harris on Green Bay's first scoring drive, mixed it up between James Jones, Tom Crabtree and Greg Jennings on the second, and had 22- and 23-yard completions to Jordy Nelson before Kuhn scored on a 3-yard run that put the Packers up 17-3 just before the half.
Rodgers completed 28 of 40 passes for 365 yards and four touchdowns in Green Bay's loss to Minnesota on Sunday.||||||| Rodgers finished the regular season with 39 touchdown passes - six shy of his career best established last year - compared to only eight interceptions.
Rodgers threw for three touchdowns and ran for another in yet one more brilliant performance in Sunday's 55-7 drubbing of the Titans.||||||| Rodgers and the Green Bay offense may as well have been playing Madden NFL video game for as easily as they piled up the yardage and the scores on the Titans. The reigning league MVP was 27 of 38 for 342 yards.
Rodgers was 23 of 36 for 291 yards with three TDs in Sunday's win over the Bears.||||||| Rodgers threw one more TD than he did in the previous three games combined.

Search is on for National Park's New Forest champions
9:22am Sunday 12th January 2014 in News
NATIONAL Park chiefs are out to honour people who have made an outstanding contribution to the task of preserving the New Forest's unique landscape.
The National Park Authority (NPA) is seeking nominations for four awards that will be presented at the Daily Echo-backed New Forest Show on July 30.
The categories are Young Farmer/Commoner of the Year, Best Supporter of Local Produce, Sustainability Champion and Best Agricultural Building Designer.
Anyone can nominate a friend, family member or colleague between now and April 30.
An NPA spokesman said: "This year's awards scheme builds on a successful 2013 edition, which culminated in the Earl and Countess of Wessex presenting the Young Farmer and Commoner and Best Supporter of Local Produce awards in the main show ring at the New Forest Show."
Jane Overall, owner of Setley Ridge farm shop near Brockenhurst, was named Best Supporter of Local Produce in 2013.
She said: "It was a fantastic honour to be presented with last year's award. At Setley Ridge we're passionate about championing local produce and being recognised for our achievements was the icing on the cake."
The NPA is running the scheme in partnership with the Country Land and Business Association (CLA), which has 34,000 members across the UK.
Robin Edwards, the CLA's south east director, said: "The New Forest is unique and it's essential that it has a thriving and profitable working rural economy to ensure our grandchildren will be able to enjoy it as we do today."
NPA chief executive Alison Barnes added: 'It's vital we continue to support those at the heart of the living, working Forest."
Nominations can be made online at newforestnpa.gov.uk/awards.

Roche decides against chewing gum levy
Wednesday, 25th January, 2006
Minister for the Environment Dick Roche has decided against a levy on chewing gum in favour of a deal with manufacturers, including Wrigleys, to contribute to a public awareness campaign, and to fund research.
The Minister announced details of the public awareness campaign today which he hopes will encourage people to end the practice of dropping chewing gum on the streets.
A pilot programme will include advertising and education campaigns in towns, extra bins and research into combating the problem of gum stuck to pavements.
Mr Roche decided against a levy despite a 2002 report which called for a tax on packets of chewing gum to help street cleaners meet the multi-million costs of clearing the litter up.
"If you put a 100% levy on chewing gum you might actually stop some people chewing but you wouldn't stop them spitting it out on the streets," Mr Roche said.
"What you've got to do is change attitudes in this particular area, and you've got to work with the various partners.
"It has worked elsewhere, and it has worked in areas which are very difficult.
"I've no doubt whatsoever that this is a challenge, to actually change public attitudes is the most difficult thing to do, but to change public attitude requires a different approach," he said.
Mr Roche also told RTE he had held discussions with the distributors of Dublin's free newspapers and was confident they would take responsibility for the litter problems caused by the publications.
Morlan wrote:That won't work hear, will it? A complete ban on the stuff is the only way, which will also never happen here.

For Independence day parade. Our local tractor club normally participates in some of the local Independence day parades and shows, but with the current economy , some have been canceled. The city of Bonne Terre, Mo. is still having theirs, along with an all vehicle show, so I have been getting EJ spruced up a little. A bath, umbrella, flag, as well as a few other things.
I have reinstalled the original home made umbrella holder from years ago,
As well as the old Fordson tool box Dad always carried on it. Now it is bolted down, but never was before.
and it is set up with a trailer hitch to allow pulling the trailer in parade if needed, or to put a luggage carrier on for the occasional tractor ride we have during the summer.

Oxford United goalkeeper makes New Zealand squad
3:12pm Wednesday 20th February 2013 in United News By David Pritchard, Chief Sports Reporter covering Oxford United. Follow us on twitter: @oxfordmailoufc. Call me on 01865 425458
MAX Crocombe has been selected for the New Zealand squad for the OFC Under 20 Championship in Fiji next month.
The 19-year-old was included in a group of 26 players last month and he is one of two goalkeepers in the final 20-man squad.
Crocombe, who made his first team debut for United against Burton Albion last month, was thrilled to get a Junior All Whites call-up.
He said: "It's brilliant news.
"It's the next step on the ladder and I know I've still got a long way to go to get to where I want to be, but this means a lot to me."
The winners of the tournament, held on March 21-29, will go on to the Under-20 World Cup in Turkey this summer.
Crocombe will miss several United games, so Wayne Brown will come into the squad as back-up for Luke McCormick.

Over the course of 2 fights, 3 years, 8 rounds, and 40 minutes, we have seen Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard go to war. Now, at UFC 136: Edgar vs. Maynard III, we'll see their series conclude (for now at least) with the UFC Lightweight title once again on the line. If there's an overriding lesson to take away from their previous two fights, it's that these are two evenly matched competitors, and that Saturday night's fight could go either way. But if we take a closer look at those first fights, perhaps we an get an even better sense of what to expect in the third outing. In this Judo Chop, we break down the striking of Frankie Edgar and Gray Maynard, as seen in their first two fights. And later today, we'll have part 2 of this series as K.J. Gould breaks down the grappling.
We start off back in 2008 with their first encounter. Both men have evolved and pushed their games forward in the intervening years, but this fight still showcases the basic strategies each brings to their stand-up game.
During that 2008 fight, it was Maynard who tended to fare better in the stand-up exchanges. His stand-up was (and, to a large degree, remains) based firmly on basic, solid execution of the fundamentals. It's not a flashy game, but it does everything very well. In particular, Maynard found a lot of success with straight shots up the middle. The right cross would often come right inside and connect squarely on Edgar. Maynard also was able to frequently get inside Edgar's defenses with a lunging uppercut that came under Edgar's arms and landed on the chin. When the two fighters were close, Maynard used textbook hooks to try and connect. Overall, his game was built on landing powerful shots that would stun Edgar, and it worked well. The one area of weakness would be kicks, as Maynard was almost 100% punching in the fight.
For Edgar, striking was not based on power but on speed. He used a lot of movement to connect. Edgar used angles to get inside and to land wide, looping hooks from the outside. He would also use movement defensively, moving his head and body well to slip incoming attacks. Edgar added speed to this movement, particularly in his combos where he would quickly string together a series of punches coming from a variety of angles. This work allowed Edgar to connect on Maynard, but seldom with the kind of power that truly leaves an impact in the eyes of judges. Add in a wrestling disadvantage, and Edgar was handed the loss on the scorecards.
Fight #2 at UFC 125 continued much of these same patterns, but is worth a closer look to see the exact techniques each man used.
Full breakdown of Edgar vs. Maynard 2, with gifs, after the break.
When talking about striking in Edgar vs. Maynard 2, there's really only one place you can begin, and that's round 1, and the Gray Maynard barrage that very nearly won him the title.
Gray begins the attack by stepping in with a left hook. Edgar is hurt, and Maynard decides to go for the kill, dropping his defenses and throwing everything at the champ. He hits some nice hooks while charging forward, but it's that right uppercut that really hurts Edgar. The champ goes down, and struggles back to his feet, only to be dropped again by an uppercut. There are a number of things to like about Maynard's work here, starting from the top.
First, on that initial punch, he takes a strong step in and throws immediately. He begins the sequence off to Edgar's side and not in a great punching position. With his hands down as well, he gives the impression that he's not a threat. But with that step towards Edgar and inside, he is immediately in punching range, and connects before Frankie can respond.
Second, notice how, even as Maynard charges forward, he still plants the feet to throw that last uppercut. He's on the move, chasing down the retreating champion, but before throwing the most powerful punch of the assault, he takes the needed time to square his feet and get the power behind him. The result is Edgar crumpling.
Finally, I love how he keeps his left hand on Edgar's neck as Edgar stands up. This gives Maynard a half clinch and lets him maintain control of Edgar's movement. He keeps his right hand free so that he can land more of those heavy uppercuts and drop the champ yet again. Rewatching it just reminds you what a miracle it is Edgar was not finished.
Later in the round, Maynard uses similar hooks and uppercuts to once again put Edgar in trouble. Though Edgar gets hurt badly again, he does manage to escape once again thanks to good movement. Here, Maynard tries to use that same clinch and dirty boxing, but Edgar backs out very quickly to avoid the shots. Edgar also is in full retreat mode here, but is doing so with good cage awareness, circling when he can to avoid backing straight into the cage. But he's also dazed and his hands are down, and Maynard does an excellent job taking advantage of that defensive hole to connect.
In round 2, we see almost a completely different Frankie Edgar, as the champion recovers, and begins using his own stand-up game to reclaim the advantage. Here is an excellent example of how Edgar uses movement so well. In this clip, he is constantly moving. But he always cuts right and left, never straight back. He also alternates right and left, keeping Maynard guessing and off rhythm. At one point, Maynard attempts to close the distance and drive Edgar back towards the cage - Edgar responds by firing out a quick jab that sends Maynard back. With Maynard moving in response to Frankie, and keeping his left hand a bit low, Frankie quickly steps in with a nice jab-cross combo that connects perfectly. There, it's the movement and accuracy that allows Edgar to connect.
As the round continues, Edgar goes back to that right cross, taking advantage of Maynard's low left hand to keep coming over the top and connect the cross. Here are two good examples from the end of the round. Notice how Edgar is now putting more behind that cross. On the first cross, he steps in with his rear leg as he throws in order to give himself more power. On the second, he twists his entire body, bringing the momentum of the punch up all the way from his foot through the body. Excellent technique there from Edgar.
In round 3 we see more of Maynard's striking. Here, he uses some nice hooks to connect. We also see how Maynard is able to come straight up the middle, this time with a left jab. This sequence is an example of the idea of Maynard's power vs. Edgar's speed. Maynard connects with the hook while Frankie's head is exposed because Edgar is throwing a combo. Both men connect, but because Maynard is throwing a single shot with greater power, Edgar is the one who is knocked off balance. Edgar recovers quickly, but Maynard keeps the pressure on with that jab. Here, the power shots are paying off again for Maynard, allowing him to trade shots with the smaller Edgar.
And finally, below is the ending sequence of the fight. This last minute really encapsulates everything that has come before, as all the techniques we've talked about are on display here: Maynard's single power shots, hooks, and jabs up the middle vs. Edgar's movement, speed, and combos. It's just a beautiful display from both men, and really, this minute of action does a better job than I ever could at explaining just why this weekend's fight is one to watch.
Don't forget to come back later today for K.J. Gould's Judo Chop Part 2 discussing Edgar and Maynard's grappling.

Old Earth is original music by singer/songwriter Todd Umhoefer (voice & looped electric guitar). Currently based in Milwaukee, and touring in late-August with Twin Brother, Todd's self-managed and self-produced art is made with an "anyone can do it," self-made, and constructive attitude. Described as: Experimental Folk Rock, kicked upstairs by Golden Oldies and Punk. Tune in!
DAMA/LIBRA is the enthralling new collaboration between two revered veterans of the national indie and avant rock scenes, Joel RL Phelps (formerly of underground rock legends, Silkworm, and currently working with his own band, The Downer Trio) and G. Stuart Dahlquist (formerly of doom metal progenitors, Burning Witch/SunnO))), and currently of Asva). They are proud to be releasing their first full-length album as a duo, Claw, on Northern Spy Records on August 12th, 2014. Combining the unique talents of both artists, Claw is a pronouncement of lush composition – teeming with a quiet intensity, subtle beauty, and pulsating with moments of raw, emotional catharsis.
Tune in to WKDU on Sunday August 24th at 8 pm for a special instudio performance from Mary Lattimore and Jeff Zeigler. This instudio comes just ahead of their forthcoming LP "Slant of Light" on Thrill Jockey Records. "The strong and fast kinship between Lattimore and Zeigler is best understood in the context of their highly collaborative pasts. Lattimore has recorded and performed with Kurt Vile, Meg Baird, Jarvis Cocker, Wrekmeister Harmonies and Steve Gunn, . . . and her years touring with Thurston Moore inform some of Slant of Light's noisier moments. Zeigler has played with members of Chris Forsyth's Solar Motel Band, The War on Drugs, and A Sunny Day in Glasgow in his group Arc in Round. The contemplative, dynamic improvisations on Slant of Light reflect the collaborative ingenuity of musicians experienced in adapting their playing and sound to fit multiple contexts." [from http://www.thrilljockey.com/thrill/Mary-Lattimore-and-Jeff-Zeigler/#.U-uF10gUbrN]. [Photo Credit: Ryan Collerd]

More sonically challenging than that of the punkish rap rockers and lo-fi bedroom producers, LA rap group clipping. see themselves as respectfully following the path first explored by rap's pioneering sound designers like The Bomb Squad and Dr. Dre: incessantly questioning the rules of the genre.
Tune in to WKDU Sunday, September 7th at 8 pm for an instudio with Taiwan Housing Project!

Live Donor Transplants
Becoming a donor is a profound act of selflessness and often the best chance someone else has for long-term survival. Find out more about living donation for kidney transplants or blood and marrow transplants. Visit the Living Donors Online Web site.
A bond grows stronger
Kimberly Weathers considers her nephew, Jeffery, more like a little brother. Only four years separated them in age, and they have always been close. When she learned in 2007 that 25-year-old Jeffery had kidney disease and needed a transplant, Kimberly's heart dropped.
"I went from being really upset to being determined that something had to be done immediately," she explained.
While Jeffery started dialysis, Kimberly added her name to the list of family members who might be living donors.
"There was no doubt in my mind that I would donate my kidney to him if we were a match," she said.
After the testing was completed, she received a call from MUSC with the news that she was a positive match for Jeffery. She and Jeffery scheduled their respective surgeries right before Thanksgiving, figuring her kidney donation was a gift for which they could both be thankful. With her family and fiancée there for support, she came through the surgery just fine and woke up to find Jeffery across the hall from her, in possession of her kidney.
"He came across the hall to visit me," she remembered. "I figured if he can get out of bed, then I can, too. Pretty soon we were walking down the hall together. On the fourth day, they released me."
Kimberly said the worst aspect of donating her kidney was difficulty walking upright for about three weeks. The pain gradually subsided and she went back to work six weeks after the surgery. Jeffery, on the other hand, bounced back much more quickly.
"I am so happy that my kidney is working for him — it's such a blessing to see him healthy and having a great time with his family and friends. When we call or text each other, our screen name is 'the other half.' If I had it to do again, I would not hesitate."

Asia is the biggest continent on Earth, a darling little gem floating around in space.
Hm, what is Asia? Who's in on it?
China and India are safe bets for Asian nations. Korea, Japan, Thailand, you're fine.
Europe? No. Europe would sort of be on the "Asian continent" if not for those pesky Ural mountains dividing things up in the middle, and then also the whole lineage of kings and wealth and nations and the EU and all that "give me my respect" stuff.
Russia would probably be happiest as its own continent, so for now we'll leave it in "Eurasia" and just hope the natural gas supplies keep flowing.
Pakistan and Afghanistan are dang close to Asia, but politically they show up in "Middle East" news stories an awful lot. Verdict: Eurasia.
I guess we'll actually have to consider everything from Turkey on eastward to be "Eurasian", although the moniker seems overlappitory of the territory.
The Asian economy is now officially raging like a wild furnace of lava that consumes everything in its path. Japan has had the largest individual economy in Asia for decades, but it is forecast that both India and China will outstrip Japan within twenty years.
China is the largest holder of United States debt and is positioned to become the world's next superpower, provided that Godzilla doesn't return and decide to stomp everybody back into the Shang Dynasty.

"It's going to be really awesome for the kids," predicted parent Joanna Chavez, who has an eighth-grader and sixth-grader at the school. "Everything they do now is with electronics. They can't wait to get them."
District officials said the comprehensive distribution process, with about 6,200 iPad minis given out at middle schools throughout St. Vrain, was designed to give students and their parents a solid overview now that every middle schooler will be using the devices in classes.
"We're very intentional in making this a very open process," said Joe McBreen, the district's chief information officer.. "We're all in this together to educate our kids and empower them for the 21st century."
He said the iPad distribution is part of an overall plan to get the best technology into the hands of students and reduce the growing digital divide between students who have access to technology at home and those who don't.
"Learning should happen any time, any place," he said.

Groups benefit from grants from Worcester News publisher
10:00am Monday 6th January 2014 in News By Catherine Phillips, Reporter
DONATION: Worcester News editor Peter John, left, presents a Gannett Foundation cheque for £5,720 to St Richard's Hospice staff nurse Jude Cambridge and chief executive Mark Jackson.
NEW Year celebrations started early for two charities after they were handed thousands of pounds towards their good work, thanks to the Gannett Foundation Fund.
St Richard's Hospice and Sight Concern Worcestershire have both managed to get a large slice of the funding from the owner of Newsquest Media Group, which publishes your Worcester News.
The hospice, in Wildwood Drive, Worcester, will use its £5,720 grant to buy syringe pumps.
June Patel, care director at St Richard's, said: "We are extremely grateful for the donation.
"The syringe pumps are very patient-friendly, small and lightweight making them ideal for helping symptom control.
As an independent charity we rely on donations from our community such as this to enable us to continue offering care, comfort and compassion to our patients and families."
St Richard's Hospice announced earlier this year its ambitious expansion plans to help care for a third more patients.
Sight Concern Worcestershire, which operates out of The Bradbury Centre, Sansome Walk, Worcester, is planning to use its £7,200 grant toward the design, layout, printing and Braille copies of its relaunched newsletter.
The first edition of the Sightlines newsletter will be ready to be distributed in January.
Newsletters will be sent out every two months to blind and partially sighted people living in the county to keep them informed of their rights entitlements and support available to them as well as keep them engaged with the community.

Two men that were brought in for questioning on Friday
regarding Boston
bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, a student at UMass Dartmouth, were arrested
again on Saturday for immigration charges.
On Friday, two men and one woman were cuffed and taken in by
police for questioning. On Saturday, police returned to the apartment complex
where the three lived and arrested two men on immigration charges. Neighbors
say the two men were the same two men that were taken into custody on Friday.
It is unclear what the men's connection to Tsarnaev is or if
the second arrests were in anyway connected to the terror suspect.
