The
following is information about the free high school health
screenings:
If you visit
www.aztops.org
you will find a downloadable form to register your children who play
sports, are cheerleaders, etc., for this totally free health
screening. Each year TOPS provides 2500 to 4000 free physicals in
Maricopa County. Students do not need to live in the County to
participate in the program but they will need transportation to and
from the screening location. Depending on the number of students at
each exam, they take, from start to finish two to four hours. They
include free cardiac testing. The physicians supply their time free
of charge and do not try to "recruit" students as patients. Children
just need to play sports and be between eighth and 11th grade by
April of this school year. There is a similar program for junior
college athletes that usually takes place in August at Midwestern
University.
Here are the dates and locations for the high school physicals.
Every year, over 2,500 student athletes from eighth grade through
community college level participate in the Team of Physicians for
Students (TOPS) sports screenings which are held on a Saturday in
late April or early May at Sunnyslope High School in Phoenix.
The TOPS programs works to promote the well-being of high school and
college student athletes by providing free sports physicals
screenings with cardiac testing to student participating in
interscholastic athletics or associated activities. These
screenings, which fulfill school-mandated student athlete
requirements for a physical examination, take less than two hours to
complete. Since the program's inception, TOPS has provided sports
screening physicals to approximately 20,000 Phoenix area student
athletes in over 80 schools.

What would be your 'eye witness account' of what happened? Remember as an
eye witness you only can see it once. But in this case you can view the
video as many times as you want.
A Police Report from Chicago
View the Video
First... Two or Three Times if You Want...THEN
Read The Text Below... DON'T LOOK UNTIL YOU WATCH THE VIDEO!
You have to watch this one several times.
But please remember the cops had to act in real time....
THE SUSPECT DOES GET SHOT BY A POLICE OFFICER.
THIS IS FOR REAL.
DO NOT scroll down and read until you see the video!
Watch the video and what do you see?
Officers ordering the suspect to put the assault rifle down, and it
appears he is complying and then he is shot! Is that what you see?
Want to know what it is like to work the streets, and what risks you
face daily?
Watch the video again... Watch the suspect's right hand while he
places the rifle down with his left hand.
What you don't see, but the officer behind the suspect does see, is
the suspect pulling a hidden handgun from his rear pants, with his
right hand.
Watch as the bad guy goes down..... the handgun is still in his
right hand.
Just a reminder... What you think you see at first does not always
tell the truth.
Watch it again, and learn!

Arizona Police Association endorses Sinema for
Congress in the District 9 Democratic Primary
PHOENIX, ARIZ. –The Arizona Police Association
(APA) today announced its endorsement of Kyrsten Sinema to represent
the new Congressional District 9.
"Kyrsten Sinema has a record of looking out and caring for the
well-being of police officers," said Brian Livingston, executive
director of the Arizona Police Association. "So it's no surprise
that our membership is solidly behind her as she runs for Congress.
Some politicians pretend that professional public employees like our
officers are underworked, overpaid and have to lucrative retirement
benefits. Kyrsten sees through that ruse, and she has been a leader
that cops can count on to do the right thing."
Livingston pointed to SB1398, a measure that directed $1.2 million
in funding for protective armor and safety equipment for DPS
officers, as an example of the kind of legislation that Sinema has
supported.
The Arizona Police Association is a coalition of police
organizations that represent nearly 10,000 city police officers,
deputy sheriffs, state police, detention, correction and federal law
enforcement officers working in Arizona. Included in this number are
the police officers of Tempe, Phoenix, Mesa and Chandler, all of
which are inside CD9.
The support of the APA represents the third endorsement that Sinema
has won from a major law enforcement group in the first month of her
campaign. Sinema's support from the officers who protect and serve
the communities of CD9 will send a powerful signal in the both the
Democratic primary and general elections.
"Arizonans are rightly grateful for our law enforcement community's
service and sacrifice, and the Arizona Police Association's member
organizations look out for the well being of these officers,"
Kyrsten Sinema said. "As an elected official, I've worked to get
government to treat our officers fairly, and make sure that they are
able to live a middle class life. I am honored by their support in
this race."
