I'm Stephen Ruiz, online content editor for OrlandoSentinel.com. Good morning and good luck to all of those Powerball players. Here are some of our top stories. Send me an email and let me know what you think.

Good morning. It's Wednesday, Aug. 23. We start with columnist Scott Maxwell's look at concussion sensors in the helmets of high-school football players in Florida -- and why only one county has them.

Also, friends and family of Everett Glenn Miller, the suspect in the shooting deaths of two Kissimmee police officers, say he was scarred by his time in the military and never readjusted to civilian life.

And finally, U.S. Sen. Marco Rubio was in Seminole County on Tuesday night for a Republican dinner. Find out what he had to say here.
