A detention officer recruit died May 22 after becoming ill during his initial detention officer training at the DeKalb Sheriff’s Office. George Ward, 29, began showing signs of illness during a routine morning physical fitness training session, according to a Sheriff's department press release. He was transported back to the jail where he was treated by the Sheriff’s Office Medical Staff and immediately transported by DeKalb EMS to DeKalb Medical Center. There is no word yet on a possible cause of death. Ward was one of 12 recruits striving to complete the Basic Jail Operations Academy, a state sanctioned course taught by Sheriff’s Office staff. Once the recruits complete the 3 to 5 week course, they are certified through the Police Officer Standards and Training Council as detention officers. Prior to being eligible for employment, recruits must pass a Physical Efficiency Battery Test and a medical clearance for county law enforcement officers. Yesterday was Ward’s second day on the job. “This is the first time that such an incident has occurred during my 12 years as Sheriff,” Thomas Brown stated. “Though we had only known him for a few days, the hearts of the men and women of the Sheriff’s Office are heavy.” Please check back for updates

Indiana vs Miami Live stream2013 Indiana vs Miami Live stream2013 Indiana vs Miami Live stream2013The Miami Heat enters the Eastern Conference Finals as heavy favorites against the Indiana Pacers. They have lost only three times in their last forty eight games and have faced little resistance from their opponents thus far in the 2013 post season. However, the Pacers should give the Heat a fight in this series. They defeated the Heat twice in the regular season and have the interior size in center Roy Hibbert and forward David West to expose the Heat’s weakness in the paint.

The Miami Heat are a clear favorite to not only the favorite to beat the Pacers tonight, but some sports pundits are even predicting a 4-0 sweep. Though I believe the series will most likely go to 5 or 6 Indiana has a pretty wild crowd] games, a sweep isn't that much of an exaggeration. The Heat have 3 and a half superstars in LeBron James, Dwayne Wade and Chris Bosh [Ray Allen would've been a full star earlier in his career.

Contrary to what some believe, the Miami Heat are a better team this year than when they won the Finals last year. With the addition of big man presence Chris "Birdman" Andersen, the heat finally have a force to be reckoned with in the paint. Point guard Norris Cole has been exceptional in the playoffs and former Boston Celtic/Heat rival, Ray Allen is money in clutch shot moments.

Still, the Indiana Pacers are a team that deserves respect. During the regular season the Pacers beat the Heat twice and only lost once. Besides the Knicks, the Pacers were the only team during the regular season to win a series against the Heat.To Day NBA Eastern Conference Finals Indiana Pacers vs Miami Heat - Game 1, Wednesday, May 22, 2013, 8:30 p.m. EDT at American Airlines Arena in Miami, US
