Somerset —
Pulaski County maybe a senior-laden squad, but it was a pair of youngsters that stepped up in last night's cross-town match-up with Southwestern.
Thanks to the play from the pair of freshman Riley Hall and sophomore Blake Burton, the Maroons were able to escape with a 71-66 victory over the homestanding Warriors last night at the Wigwam. The victory allowed the Maroons to move to 20-5 on the year, and earn their ninth consecutive win against Southwestern.
Hall came off the bench to score 15 points, while Burton finished the contest with 10 points. Along with scoring in double figures, the underclassmen did the little things that allowed Al Gover and company to pick up a hard fought, five-point win over Southwestern.
"They stepped up big," said Gover, of the play of Hall and Burton. "We had some guys shoot the ball really well. We weren't making shots and we weren't making free-throws - we missed 17 free throws for the game. I told the team after the game, 'Thank you sophomores for showing the seniors how it's done.' Those two stepped up big for us."
Southwestern delivered the first punch in this classic game, as the Warriors ran out to an 26-18 first quarter lead over the Maroons. Both teams traded baskets early on, but the 'Blue and Orange' took the lead at 7-6, and used a 9-0 run to jump out ahead of the Maroons.
The Warriors would continue to roll over the Maroons in the second frame, as they would lead by as much as 16 points. With just over three minutes left to play in the opening half, junior David Kapinga converted on a three-point play to give Southwestern a 41-25 lead.
With 2:45 left until the intermission, a put-back senior Kody Johnson gave the Maroons their first basket since the 5:16 mark of the frame, when Burton got a lay-up. Johnson's score would kick-off a 10-0 run for the Maroons, allowing them to cut the Warrior lead to seven points at 41-35.
"Southwestern came out early and played extremely well," told the Maroon hoops coach. "We took a shot, because they knocked us around that first quarter pretty bad. Our kids kept focus and persevered, and continued to battle. That's all you can ask from the guys."
After Kapinga hit three free-throws to end the second quarter, the Warriors went into the locker room with a nine-point, 44-35 advantage. In the quarter, Southwestern, despite committing five turnovers, outscored Pulaski by a lone point at 18-17.
One big reason the score was lopsided was the Maroons' failure to convert at the charity stripe. In the first half of action, Pulaski missed 12 free-throws. The Maroons finished the contest going 17-of-34 from the free-throw line.
The third and fourth quarters would be totally different, as the boys in maroon and white came to play. In fact, the Maroons outscored Southwestern, 36-22, in the second half.
"At times, we played pretty well tonight," stated Warrior coach Steve Wright. "Then at other times, we didn't play so well. We didn't rebound the ball well in the first half. We didn't finish the last two minutes of the half. We didn't start the second half very well, so we had some good minutes and some bad minutes."
Pulaski forced Wright to take an early timeout in the third period, as Burton and the Maroons scored five consecutive points to lessen the Southwestern lead to four points at 44-40. After both teams traded baskets a few times, Southwestern's Isaiah Collier hit two big three's to put the Warriors ahead by seven points at 51-44.
After Collier knocked down a pair of treys, the Maroons answered with two huge three-pointers of their own, as senior Taylor Gover and Hall each made a shot from behind the three-point arc to cut the Warrior lead to 54-50 with 57 seconds remaining.
Gover hit two free-throws to end the third frame, meaning the Warriors would head into the fourth quarter with a 54-52 lead over Pulaski. In the third period, the Maroons outscored the Warriors, 17-10.
Johnson opened the fourth period with a three-pointer, allowing the Maroons to take their first lead of the game since the 5:45 mark in the first quarter. Collier got two free-throws shortly after, putting Southwestern back out front by a lone point at 56-55.
Hall hit another trey with 7:07 left in the game to give the Maroons a 58-56 lead. Shortly after a lay-up from Gover, the Warriors were hit with a technical foul. Gover would hit both free-throws, putting the Maroons on a 9-2 scoring spurt, along with a 62-56 lead with 5:50 remaining in the contest.
Shortly after scoring a lay-up to cut the Pulaski lead to 64-62, Kapinga fouled out with 2:32 left, meaning the Warriors would have to play without their floor general. Following Kapinga's basket, Johnson converted on a spinning lay-up to give the Maroons a four-point lead with 1:45 on the scoreboard.
Warrior sophomore Dylan Gaskin got a basket to cut it two, but Burton went 1-of-2 from the charity to stripe to expand the lead to three points at 67-64 with 42 seconds remaining.
With 17 seconds remaining, Pulaski missed two free-throws, giving Southwestern a chance to tie the game up. Southwestern's Justin Edwards was quickly fouled by the Maroons. Edwards would make both shots to lessen the Maroon lead to a lone point at 67-66 with nine seconds left.
Hall, once again, came up big for the Maroons, knocking down a pair of free-throws with eight seconds left on the clock to give Pulaski a 69-66 lead. On the following possession, the Warriors would throw the ball away, allowing the Maroons to score a lay-up for their 71st and final point of the evening.
For the victorious Maroons, Gover led the way with a club-high 20 points. Johnson wasn't far behind, as he finished with 18 points and six rebounds. Hall (15 points) and Burton (10 points) joined the senior duo in double figures.
Kapinga led all scorers with a contest-high 22 points. The junior had a big second quarter, as he tallied 13 of his 22 points in that frame.
Two other Warriors joined Kapinga in double figures - Collier and Gaskin. Collier finished with 14 points, while Gaskin finished with a double-double, as he scored 10 points and pulled down a game-high 10 rebounds.
The Maroons will return to action against another rival on Tuesday evening, as they will make the short trip to the Briar Patch to take on the Somerset Briar Jumpers in a 47th District match-up at 7:30 p.m.
Southwestern, now 19-8 on the year, will conclude their regular season next Friday evening, when they will host Mercer County at 8 p.m. at the Wigwam.
PULASKI COUNTY (20-5): Gover 20, Johnson 18, Hall 15, Burton 10, Goins 4, Laign 3, Ross 1.
SOUTHWESTERN (19-8): Kapinga 22, Collier 14, Gaskin 10, Edwards 9, Isaacs 6, Schulz 5.

What are ADHD medications?
Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (often referred to as ADD or ADHD) is a disorder that is characterized by hyperactivity or restlessness, trouble concentrating, and/or trouble controlling one's impulses. It is one of the most common conditions of childhood and adolescence. Most experts agree that this condition affects 8%-10% of school-age children and that more than 40% of children with ADHD grow up into adults with this disorder.
Rather than having any single cause, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) develops from both genetic and life experience risk factors. Individuals with ADHD tend to have problems developing efficient self-regulation skills and decision-making abilities. Biologically, ADHD is a neurochemical and neuroanatomical disorder. People with ADHD have several chemicals in the brain that are not present in the right quantities in the right places at the right times. These chemicals may work sometimes but not consistently, and they are not under the individual's control. This is why people with ADHD have variable performance. Also, some nerve groups seem to be a bit out of position in the brain, causing delays or accelerations of nerve signals.
ADHD medications are designed to increase the ability of the ADHD sufferer to pay attention and manage their impulses and activity level. They also sometimes are used to treat people who suffer from sleep attacks (narcolepsy), chronic fatigue, or to boost the effect of antidepressant medication.
Most ADHD medications increase the amount of two brain chemicals that are used by nerve cells to communicate with one another (neurotransmitters), namely dopamine (DA) and/or norepinephrine. These chemicals have been associated with attention, pleasure, and movement. Although the chemical properties of other ADHD medications like Tenex or Intuniv (guanfacine) and Catapres or Kapvay (clonidine) are known, it is not fully understood how they affect the symptoms of ADHD.
Some medical marijuana advocates have begun to propose marijuana for the treatment of ADHD due to marijuana's effects of decreasing activity and anxiety levels. However, marijuana's addiction potential and side effect -- like impaired memory, judgment, and coordination, mood changes, low motivation, and possible psychosis -- in addition to the lack of research of its benefits for ADHD, keep the use of this drug from being a viable treatment for this disorder. While some over-the-counter medications for adult weight loss, like ephedrine, may improve focus and alertness, their appetite suppression and abuse potential preclude their being a viable option for treatment of a chronic condition like ADHD.

NORMAN — Book Name: Eternity (2013, Beachhouse Books)
Author: Sandra McMahan
Why you should read: "Eternity" has everything readers want in a summer novel: mystery, romance, conflict and obsession.
Set in Oklahoma City, Marty Scott is a local reporter who encounters Eternity, a church remodeled into a dance club that is much more than it seems. Marty becomes overwhelmed with fear, obsession, guilt and love as she learns about the mysterious family who owns it.
Marty's naturally inquisitive nature to find out more takes her inside the cult-like family wanting the scoop on a major sex trafficking ring. Instead, she finds herself marrying into the family and raising one of their own. Much of the novel alludes to religious wars between the "Eternalists" and those who value immortality through Christianity; no mention is made of other religious beliefs.
Those who want eternal life are brought into the family through referrals and allowed to stay in as long as the timeless drugs flow. Marty's fixation on her new family continues and the novel follows the upbringing of a child who will become the family's next god. The novel spans more than 20 years as these religious wars unfold and Marty's son learns the ways of his grandfather.
The novel only briefly highlights Oklahoma City's neighborhoods and communities, making it difficult for the reader to get a sense of place and time. Other shortcomings of this novel are the obvious grammatical errors that are numerous throughout. There is also a lack of character development. Many neglected minor characters could have added depth to the novel but instead they are left underdeveloped, leaving much to wonder about their future and fortunes.
"Eternity" is a short, easy read and would be great to take while traveling or while in transit.
This is the debut fictional novel for Sandra McMahan, an Oklahoma writer, who has written several short stories and is currently working on her second novel, a semi-autobiographical book titled, "Home."

Best Travel Companies to Work For
Southwest Airlines and Virgin America top list of travel-related companies as rated by employees.
If you'd like travel to be part of your work, consider trying to snag a job at domestic airlines Southwest Airlines or Virgin America.
Those companies rank at the top of a new list of best travel-related employers compiled by career website Glassdoor. The ranking is based on evaluations by employees who work at those companies.
"For people who are considering working in the travel industry, this is a really valuable perspective, to hear what other people who work in the industry are saying," says Glassdoor CEO and co-founder Robert Hohman, who used to work for travel-deal website Expedia. "To many outsiders, the travel industry looks extremely glamorous. And to a certain extent, it is ... but once you go past the beaches, pools, and cocktails with the little umbrella, there's a lot of hard work."
[See 9 Companies Hiring Now.]
The list includes various types of travel-related companies: airlines, hotels, car and truck rentals, online travel agencies, review websites, and cruise lines. Along with Southwest and Virgin America, Four Seasons Hotels, online travel company Orbitz Worldwide, and Kimpton Hotels & Restaurants made the top five.
The 40 companies included in the ranking each received at least 10 reviews on Glassdoor between May 2009 and May 2011, and nearly three-quarters received more than 30 reviews. Glassdoor compiles reviews by requiring users to offer insight on their company or salary before reading reviews by others.
Both Southwest and Virgin America offer a perk that many job seekers covet: free and discounted flights. Virgin America allows employees plus a designated flying buddy—usually a spouse or friend—to fly for free whenever a plane has empty seats, and offer discounted flights to friends and family. Southwest Air also offers free, standby travel to employees, as well as a spouse, dependants, and parents, plus a limited number of passes for friends.
"You get discounts on everything: hotels, car rental, any travel-related items," says James Goodman, who has worked for Southwest for 14 years. "You add it all up, it's got to be thousands of dollars each year." A customer service training supervisor who lives in Chicago, Goodman flies for free with his wife and five-year-old son to Disney World in Orlando, Fla., twice a year. "I probably wouldn't be traveling there as much if I had to buy tickets on my own," he says.
Southwest, which also ranked second on Glassdoor's list of best 50 companies to work for this year, is hiring, but not in large numbers. The 35,000-employee company, headquartered in Dallas, has openings in revenue management and customer service. The company's also looking for fall marketing interns.
[See Top 50 Companies to Work For.]
Virgin America, a domestic airline that began flying in August 2007, is also hiring. The company is looking for pilots, flight attendants, and mechanics, as well as support staff to work in finance and human resources at headquarters. "Just about in every department, we have openings," says Christine Morehead, Virgin America's director of people (or human relations).
People like to work for the company because they're passionate about the airline's goal of reinventing flying, Morehead says. "They really feel like they're part of making history in the airline industry, bringing great service back." Headquartered in California (and not affiliated with Virgin Atlantic), Virgin America has about 2,000 employees.
Working in the travel industry may have its perks, but it also has its downsides. Southwest employees complain on Glassdoor of politics within the company and low pay. Some perks, such as flexible schedules, they say, apply only to employees in certain departments. Virgin America employees complain about being away from home a lot, an overwhelming workload, and long hours.
[See How to Position Yourself to Change Careers.]
Here's Glassdoor's full list of top travel companies to work for, as well as each company's ranking on a scale of 0-5:
1. Southwest Airlines (airline): 4.2
1. Virgin America (airline): 4.2

State Senator Curren D. Price, Jr. (D-Culver City) introduced SB 62 Tuesday that would ensure state licensing boards have information as soon as possible to determine the role that doctors and pharmacists may have had in patient prescription drug deaths.
"Coroners reports are a treasure trove of data that can inform us about where people are getting drugs, how much they have in their system when they die of an overdose and whether they were under the care of a doctor who may have been prescribing too much," Price said in an official release. "This bill connects the dots and creates a very necessary pathway for prescription drug overdose deaths to be reported directly to the Boards that can take necessary action against their licensees who may have been directly involved. "
Price added, "If Boards are receiving reports from coroners throughout the state, they will be better armed with the necessary tools to make a determination whether there may be a link to their licensees in overprescribing circumstances and take action."
Current law only requires coroner's reports to be transmitted to the Medical Board of California in the event that gross negligence by a physician is determined as the cause of death.
In a recent Los Angeles Times series coroners reports from four counties found that in nearly half of the cases where prescription drug overdose was listed as the cause of death, there was a direct connection to a prescribing physician. The series also found that more than 80 of the doctors whose names were listed on prescription bottles found at the home of, or on the body of, a person who died had been the prescribing physician for three or more dead patients – and in the case of one doctor, as many as 16 dead patients.
"Patients and the public cannot be completely protected if we are not improving every opportunity for better reporting and arming the licensing boards with the necessary information to take a better look at their licensees," said Price.

The Clinton Herald
---- — CLINTON — When Iowa State kicks off its football season Saturday, Austin Krick will finally get his chance.
The redshirt-junior defensive tackle from Clinton will play a major role on the defensive line for the Cyclones in their opener against the University of Northern Iowa at 7 p.m. And when he enters the game, a familiar face will greet him on the opposing team.
David Johnson, also a redshirt-junior from Clinton, will start for the Panthers at running back, meaning the former high school teammates will likely see what opposing players and coaches have known about each of them since their days with the River Kings.
"(David's) a guy that can do it all for them," Krick said. "He gets all the carries, and he's a workhorse. He can catch from the backfield, and he's big kid."
Johnson, listed as 6-foot-3, 214 pounds, knows that Krick won't be easy to run over.
"He's a pretty strong (defensive) tackle," Johnson said. "I haven't seen him play in awhile, but he's gotten a little bigger."
Krick, listed as 6-foot-2, 277 pounds, came to Iowa State as a preferred walk-on in 2010, after registering all-conference accolades three consecutive years in high school and all-state mention during his senior season for the River Kings.
Still a walk-on, but listed as the No. 2 defensive tackle on Saturday's depth chart, which will include a rotation for playing time with starter Brandon Jensen, Krick is ready to remind people why he chose to play at a FBS program.
"Playing quality snaps in the Big 12 was my ultimate goal when I got here," Krick said. "I've worked hard and with everything that I've invested, I'm ready to take advantage of the opportunity."
For Johnson, this weekend's match-up presents another opportunity to showcase why so much preseason attention has been paid to the All-Missouri Valley Conference returnee.
In his first collegiate game in 2011 against Iowa State, Johnson, who also registered all-state and all-conference awards for the River Kings, made a statement, scoring two touchdowns, including an 80-yard touchdown reception, during a 20-19 loss.
Not to be outdone, Johnson continued his success against FBS teams last year, during games against Wisconsin and Iowa. Against the Big-10 champion Badgers, Johnson caught four passes for 107 yards and two touchdowns, in another near-upset, this time a 26-21 setback.
Johnson added 154 total yards and one touchdown to his resume against the Hawkeyes last year, in a 27-16 loss.
Performances like those are one of the reasons why Johnson's name is on the tip of every FCS preseason prognosticator's tongue.
But the hype won't bother Johnson, especially now that school is session.
"It was a little hard in the summer not to look at all that stuff, but now that school is going, it keeps me busy, so I'm not paying attention to those things," Johnson said.
Johnson is listed on the Running Back, All-Purpose Performer and Walter Payton awards watch lists, is a preseason third-team All-America selection, and a preseason All-Missouri Valley selection.
That goes along with the awards he already has won, including being elected to the All-Missouri Valley team during the past two seasons.
But Krick isn't worried about Johnson's accolades. He's more concerned with how to tackle the all-purpose back.
"He's a tough guy to bring down," Krick said. "He's very shifty, knows his reads and is good at making people miss. We'll get his best every snap."
Although the two practiced together on a high school team that went undefeated during the regular season in 2009 and made it to the quarterfinals of the state playoffs, this may be the first time they meet head-to-head on a football field on opposing sides.
Because Johnson played both ways for the River Kings, he said he didn't have any encounters in practice with Krick.
So it will be a little surprising for Johnson when the 277-pounder comes barreling down on him during Saturday's game.
"It's very exciting to go against each other," Johnson said. "I'll probably mess with him a little bit, and do a little bit of talking on the field."
Krick also is excited to square off against his former teammate and knows that for three hours on Saturday, both teams must be ready for everyone's best.
"David is a great player," Krick said. "It will be a fun game. I'll give him everything I have and he will give everything he has."

News and opinion about video games, technology and the internet
John Riccitiello, CEO of EA, recently held a call with investors to reassure them that despite a bad year, there will still be a market for big AAA games, particularly when the next generation of consoles are released.
Meaning, that hasn't happened yet.
If that sounds like a slight to the Wii U, well, it kind of is. Though Riccitiello makes sure to soften the blow.
"Never count Nintendo out. They've got some of the best IP in the game industry. When their marquee titles show up, that's when you usually see the bounce. I deeply respect the achievements they've had over the last several years. And as I said, you never really count them out."
Go on…
"Having said that, I wouldn't say that we see a correlation between the results that Nintendo has shown with their console debut of the Wii U and what we see coming. We see a pretty sharp distinction, and unfortunately I'm unable to go any further than that.
Ours is an industry where a lot of devices come in and represent themselves as the next generation, or the next generation after that. In many ways we would argue that the what we're describing as "gen 4″ is yet to come. It's that that we're excited about, and that's what we're investing in. And frankly, we've been quite consistent with that for some time, while recognizing the frustration our inability to articulate precisely why causes for you."
What he's essentially saying here is that he's seen what the Wii U is capable, of, and he's seen what the upcoming versions of the Playstation and Xbox are capable of, and the gulf is sizable enough that we'll be classifying the Wii U as "last gen" once the other two are released.
He also talked about how EA will be focusing hard on "gen 4″ versions of Battlefield and FIFA, saying that they'll be investing a lot into games for the PS4 and 720 (or Durango and Orbis if you prefer). Not to say the Wii U won't see any EA games. It already has Mass Effect 3 out for the system and we'll likely see a number of the traditional sports titles that are generally released to every platform under the sun. But it doesn't appear that the WiiU is a big part of EA's comeback strategy.
This is what I was warning about during my "Six Reasons the Wii U is Struggling" article from last week. I said that many are waiting to see what the total scope of the next generation will look like, which means realizing what the Durango and Orbis are capable of.
The fear is that though the Wii U appears to have much more 3rd party support right now than its predecessor, that's not necessarily going to be the case down the line. Yes, it's nice that the system can now run titles like Arkham City and Assassin's Creed and Mass Effect when it couldn't before, but how long will that last?
It's already starting. Eidos says they won't release their new Tomb Raider for the Wii U because of the added complication of the gamepad, and Randy Pitchford said something similar about Borderlands 2, which couldn't be bothered to be ported for the system.
And down the line, EA may have been willing to release Mass Effect 3 for the Wii U, but what about Mass Effect 4, a game assuredly designed for fully " gen 4″ systems? Because of the Wii U's capabilities, Nintendo will be back where they started where developers don't want to strip down their game, or add-in extraneous features to make use of the gamepad, which is exactly what happened with the Wii.
Of course, the Wii was a smash hit regardless of lackluster 3rd party support, but as I said previously, I don't think the Wii U can count on being the same sort of phenomenon among non-gamers.
The perfect scenario for Nintendo would have been a system that includes all their beloved first party franchises, but also one that can play any number of popular cross platform titles. Though it might be able to be that sort of system right now, once fully "next gen" games are released, I think the Wii U will be left behind by 3rd party developers and Riccitiello's comments are a sign of what's to come for the console.
Well, it's true. The Wii U is an effective competitor against the 360, but that's it. It's not going to stack up at all against the upcoming hardware, and the online & eshop capabilities are good by Nintendo standards (aka: not good compared to anyone else).
It's built on a gimmick in the gamepad and on being first to market.
I take it you haven't actually used one then if you refer to it's gamepad as a gimmick. This is the type of revolution in controls like shoulder buttons and analog sticks. They seemed weird at first, but with in a generation they became standards
ZombiU is by far one of the best examples of how the gamepad can be used to enhance gaming.
Andy why slight Nintendo for getting this next generation started with the first entry. Every other generation has only lasted between 4 – 6 years. We are overdue for new hardware!
Here, I'll handle this one for you Paul in your usual fashion of someone having an opinion against yours and *shiver* for a gaming company…
Soooo…. you work for Nintendo then right?
Perry, the Wii U gamepad is most assuredly a gimmick. I've used one, I've held it in my hands. Yes, it's nice, but Sony and MS are not going to be including 9″ tablet controllers with their next devices.
Yes, there are rumours Sony will implement some sort of touch interface, but unless they are including a stripped down version of the Vita with it's new console, we'll probably see something more like a Dualshock with a touch pad on the back, similar to the Vita.
MS on the other hand, seems to be preparing to possibly integrate it's Surface tablets with the next Xbox in some fashion, but that will not be a replacement for a traditional controller, and I'm guessing we'll simply see a new iteration of the standard Xbox controller.
I'm sure I could be wrong on all these points, and only time will tell, but I think I'm at least in the right ballpark. Fact is, that while the extra screen with the Wii U is a neat idea, it's never going to really be fully utilized. Many gamers talk about have map and inventory screens on the gamepad, but those are just as disruptive as menu screens on your main display, because either way you have to take your eyes of the main action.
And considering that both the Wii U and the Vita don't allow many Wii U and PS3 games, respectively, to be played on only the gamepad or Vita- which is what a significant portion of gamers want from such a device- I don't think we're going to see widespread adoption of the "second screen" type controller. I think it will remain the exclusive province of Nintendo, with Sony and MS relying on integrating existing devices that aren't actually necessary, just optional.
These types of comments are likely showing what EA has planned for this console generation. Besides their inability to count generations, (we are starting the 8th generation) it shows that what they may release on the Wii U is going to be an after thought as a means to milk that segment of the gaming population.
On top of prior comments about forcing multiplayer modes into all their games, I'm becoming less inclined to seriously consider anything EA puts out. They are no longer a gaming company in my mind. These comments make their goal clear, "To exploit the gaming public and ensure profitability over playability." Sounds great to investors, sounds bad for gamers.
Unless there are some off the record comments not mentioned I am inclined to disagree with you. I will list these reasons. Notice how the Wii U was not listed among the Gen 3 consoles. They mentioned about having the shoulders to move the industry forward as what could be described as Gen 4. I see this as saying as it related to the Wii U is the install base needs to be bigger. There is a difference between a new technology being available and a new era being ushered in. Like when cell phones came out versus now with more people using cell phones than landline phones or like when HD tv's came out vs now where most people own one. The gen 4 era hasn't been ushered in yet. It has nothing to do with the specs. They mentioned how what you see now from Wii U is what is to be expected in the future. Basically all you have seen is XBOX 360 and PS3 ports. All Gen 3 tech. Little has been built with the lastest dev kits with the appropiate amount of time and optimization. Most games for the consoles are still using Direct X 9 still. EA showed respect for Nintendo in their comments. Even though the second wave of support for Nintendo is not here they didn't throw them under the bus with their comments. I think it will take more than a disagreement over a website to permananently severe a relationship between the two. Notice how the words we will never work with Nintendo again weren't mentioned. I have more reasons for that. EA hasn't been doing so hot lately until very recently. Why would they turn their back on a company to make more money. Something that petty will not stop them from trying to make more money with Nintendo. They have worked with each other for years. Nintendo needs EA and Nintendo needs EA. I see it as EA waiting for a greater install base for Nintendo for it to be less of a risk in this tougher time for game companies closing left and right. When curtailing programming games for the Wii U is done more efficiently and the more Wii U units have sold expect more EA and 3rd party support. Also with the newer tech no Wii U game would have to be stripped barebones if, it were a port from the other Gen 4 consoles as all it would have to be is scaled back some with newer engines being capable of that. Also, expect more 3rd party support because at the time the new XBOX and PS4 comes out they will lack a bigger install base. At that time the Wii U should have a bigger install base and less risky then. Who wants to dive head first in a pool when it appeared to many the water seemed to be draining fast and someone else appeared to bump their head. I am sure things will change. For these reasons I don't think the tide will stay the same for the Wii U.
Mmhmmm. Look how well ports of PS3/Xbox games to the Wii did. Well, the few out there. Most were little more than junk.
"Scaling back" next gen titles to run on the Wii U won't make anyone happy. Wii U owners will see the game they own running much better and looking much better on other consoles and the big pubs won't want to waste critical development time downgrading their titles for a system their bread on butter customers won't even be playing AAA titles on.
The Wii U seems like a great console that was released at perhaps the worst possible time: not soon enough to legitimately compete with the PS3 and Xbox and not late enough to take advantage of newer tech in order to compete with Xbox720 (or whatever it will be) and PS4. I think it's a big misstep by Nintendo. Sure, they will have some short term success, but, depending on a release date for PS4, they may only have another year or less to solidify their lineup and entice enough gamers into buying a Wii U.
The WiiU took a big risk in putting a slower CPU and relying heavily on the GPU since current gen games are built differently. So far this has seemed to be an obstacle for companies doing direct ports (Mass Effect 3, Batman AA, etc) and it's pretty easy to tell when it is done. As long as the other two systems move towards the heavier reliance on the GPU, I think the WiiU will do alright with third parties. Granted I also think the company that makes their system easiest to program and put content on will win out. PS3 suffered due to being hardest to program for and hopefully Sony will remember that.
From most reports the Wii U is easy to code for. The problem seems to be getting used to the CPU and a GPGPU setup. If, I understand it correctly the CPU has a slower clock speed but moves more data at once. Like if, you are moving boxes and you have a Ford 250 pickup up truck and a Ferrari moving boxes. The Ferrari would make quicker trips but you could carry less. The Ford 250 could carry more but would take longer trips. If, developers want to try and port games without considering this they may have find a way to sync the information moved in consistent intervals. Otherwise they need to better understand the Wii U GPGPU setup up better. The Wii U seems to have a vice versa problem of the PS3 setup to develop for. I believe this time it will not take long before the devs to figure out how it ticks so to speak. Nintendo seems to be working hard for this not to be the case.
EA were in negotiations to provide Nintendo with an online service, but Nintendo refused. Since then, EA have chosen a different policy towards Nintendo. Crysis 3 would run perfectly on Wii U but EA says no. It's like the dreamcast, EA refused to port games to the Dreamcast and that damaged SEGA. So well done EA, first you screw up key franchises (EA have always been about shoddy quality stuff anyway) and then you hurt console developers. All you're good for is sports games, you lack imagination and creativity and you wish for a monopoly. You are nothing compared to what Sierra, Acclaim and Accolade were. You stink and your CEO is a lying scumbag.

With 27 wins and three Top 25 opponents already out of the way, the Drovers are off to the best start in school history and are already knocking at the door of the school's most wins, 37.
"Our goal right now is really just to make it to then national tournament," senior pitcher Seth Sturgeon said. "If we can make it to that, we probably will have secured that goal of the most wins in school history."
Sturgeon, who joined the Drovers in 2011 from Northern Oklahoma College in Tonkawa, said he wasn't the pitcher he is today such a short time ago when Coach Mike Ross recruited him.
"(Coach Ross) took a chance on me. That first fall I was here, we re-hauled everything in my mechanics," he said. "Beginning of March last season, it started coming together. I guess I figured it out. It's been going pretty well since then."
With an outstanding performance in the classroom as well as on the field, Sturgeon was named a Bill and Pat Smith Scholar-Athlete, an award that goes to just one male and one female athlete at USAO each season.
"I'm just blessed," he said. "Mom instilled these kinds of goals in me when I was young. Grades come first, and then athletic stuff comes second … it's the things I learn in school that will carry me throughout my life."
After graduating in April and finishing up baseball in May, Sturgeon will jump straight into adulthood with plans to get married this summer and hopes of working for the Colorado Highway Patrol.
Drover fans can watch the interview with Seth Sturgeon at 7 p.m. and 11 p.m. Friday on local Channel 18.

Silver Cross Hospital First In Area to Perform State-of-the-Art DSEK Cornea Transplant Surgery
Joliet, IL (June 7, 2011) —In a first for the Will-County area, a surgeon at Silver Cross Hospital is removing patients' diseased layer of the cornea and replacing it with a similar layer of healthy human donor tissue in a surgery called DSEK (Descemet Stripping Endothelial Keratoplasty).
Photo Caption: Dr. Timothy Kisla, ophthalmologist, recently performed the area's first DSEK Cornea Transplant procedure at Silver Cross Hospital.
The DSEK procedure provides significant benefits over the traditional cornea transplant. "DSEK is a safer, more effective and overall superior treatment for corneal endothelial disease than the traditional method," says ophthalmologist and corneal surgeon Timothy Kisla, D.O., who performs the surgery at Silver Cross Hospital. "The advantages include a faster recovery time with a more rapid visual rehabilitation since a smaller incision with fewer stitches is placed in the cornea. Further benefits include improved optical stability, less risk for intraoperative complication such as expulsive choroidal hemorrhage, and a reduced risk to subsequent trauma, suture-related complications, and tissue graft rejection."
During a DSEK procedure, the surgeon uses special instruments to enter the eye through a less than 1/4 inch incision in the front clear part of the eye (cornea). The back portion of the cornea is then painlessly stripped away and replaced by a similar piece of healthy graft tissue from a human donor. Although only a small piece of cornea is actually replaced, the graft will help keep the entire cornea clear.
Approximately 50,000 cornea transplants are performed each year in the
Further, many patients can regain useful vision within one to two months and driving vision within two to three months following the DSEK procedure, as opposed to 12 to 18 months, as seen with the traditional transplant method.
For Frankfort resident Lidio Filippo, who suffered from poor vision due to cornea swelling, life after his DSEK surgery has been nothing but wonderful. "My vision has improved so much that I can now drive at night and even read the street signs," said 83-year old Filippo. "If I didn't get this surgery, I'm sure I would have failed my driver's license exam because my vision was so poor. Thanks to Dr. Kisla and the wonderful nurses at Silver Cross Hospital, I have improved my quality of life and maintained my independence."
Filippo's wife is so grateful that her husband was able to have the new DSEK surgery at Silver Cross Hospital. "Lidio and I were so pleased with the care he received from Dr. Kisla and the nurses at Silver Cross. They made us both feel so at ease during the entire process," said Shirley Filippo. "After the surgery Lidio was able to get his eye glass prescription reduced. He can also read the newspaper and navigate around the house with ease even sometimes without his glasses."
Like conventional transplantation, DSEK surgery is covered by most major insurance carriers, including Medicare.

I received in the mail today responses to my complaint about St. Elizabeth's from Tufts Health Plan and the Division of Health Care Quality of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health.
It's not terribly surprising that St. Elizabeth's lied to Tufts and the DPH just like they lied to us. After all, once they made the decision to evade and lie rather than admitting to having made mistakes, they had to be consistent about it. What's surprising is that they weren't consistent about it — the story they told to Tufts, the DPH and me have different elements and are in some cases contradictory. Some interesting tidbits: (more…)

The Tonawanda News
Tonawanda News — People who pay attention to conversations about diet these days may often be under the belief that complex carbohydrates break down in our bodies slower than simple carbs, providing more nourishment and keeping us feeling full longer.
So, people who want to eat healthy should eat complex carbs and everything is good, right? Not so fast.
To this day, many fitness enthusiasts, body-builders, figure competitors and fans of pseudo-science stake everything on a foods glycemic index score, but that data is not perfect, consistent or fail-proof.
If we dig (great Incubus song) a little bit deeper, we have several indexes to refer to, and we can start with the gylcemic index, which gives insight as to how carbs impact blood glucose (sugar) levels, but can also consider the insulin index and the satiety index.
Let's look at the glycemic index first.
The following foods are complex carbs with low to moderate ratings on the glycemic index: kidney beans, 28, rye bread, 50, brown rice, 55, old-fashioned oatmeal, 58, and sweet corn, 60.
Complex carbs with higher ratings on the glycemic index include whole-wheat bread, 70, white bread, 73, Cheerios, 74, and white rice, 92.
However, with regards to the insulin index, protein-rich foods such as baked beans and refined carbs (pastries, etc.) caused insulin responses that were higher than their glycemic index might suggest.
The satiety index of foods is also a ranking system, examining a food's ability to satisfy hunger. The higher the ranking, the more satisfying the food.
The amount of fiber, protein and water within the food are typically the general agents of satiety. Some low-satiety food are: croissant 47, cake 65, ice cream 96, French fries, 116, Special K, 116.
Higher satiety food include: grain-bread 154, popcorn, 154, grapes 162, baked beans, 168, beef, 176, apples, 197, potatoes 323.
As you can see, there are some surprises as some foods score low on the glycemic index but have a higher satiety score.
What are limitations of the glycemic index?
GI values are determined using that particular food item only. What's the big deal you say? Very rarely do you only eat one particular food and nothing else. Who only consumes a potato or only Special K and nothing else?
GI values are also determined from a fasted state, which is typically unlikely in real life. This means that any digestion/absorption of other foods are taken out of the equation. The acidity of food, amount of fat, fiber and certain proteins can lower GI response. Freezing white bread lowers its Glycemic Index rating.
There is also a weakness of the satiety index.
Greater satiety is typically associated with lower GI food items. However, all of this data comes from single-meal experiments. Some of the studies aren't controlled for calorie intake either. Some subjects have eaten more than other subjects. There are huge study weaknesses there.
Other inconsistencies: Low GI milk has a high insulin index compared to high GI white bread. Low GI baked beans have a high insulin index of 120.
Foods that should have a low GI due to fat content (fat typically slows absorption) do not always have a low GI. Examples are; fries, cookies and doughnuts. The above foods also have a high insulin index. One theory is due to the saturated fat content.
So the main problem with using the above tools to determine a particular food's "edibleness" level? Food discrimination.
Like most studies you can single out data to either validate or crush an argument. I can't even begin to tell you how many clients/gym goers have abandoned white potatoes in favor of sweet potatoes. This is a pretty simplistic bias that "white" foods are bad/less nutritious and are responsible for the national debt versus darker and or more colorful food choices.
Examples of nutritional bias: A sweet potato has more fiber, more Vitamin A, higher in most B vitamins, higher in calcium and higher in manganese than a russet potato. In contrast, a russet potato is higher in iron and magnesium, higher in phosphorus, higher in potassium, higher in protein and selenium. This proves it's foolish to deem one food type superior over another.
One food lacks in certain qualities that the other excels in. This is also assuming all vitamins/minerals/nutrients have been identified/discovered.
Long-awaited conclusion
Glycemic Index, Insulin Index and the Satiety Index give us generalizations and clues of certain foods. There are too many variables to allow any of the above to accurately determine whether or not a food is "good" or "bad." It's best to keep things simple, eat a variety of food, train smart and hard and enjoy the journey.

The Missouri Southern Lions softball team entered Sunday's doubleheader needing a sweep to stay in the MIAA Tournament hunt. However, the Lions left with a split.
Junior Chloe Brown hit a bases-clearing double in the bottom of the seventh to give the Lions a 3-2 win in the opener before falling 3-1 in the nightcap Sunday at Lea Kungle Field. The Lions (24-24 overall, 11-15 MIAA) will finish the regular season at 3 p.m. today with a home doubleheader against Southwest Baptist.
It was an emotional week for Lions second baseman Brooke Swadley and her teammates. Swadley's mother, Angie Swadley, 44, of Purdy, Mo., died April 20 at Freeman Hospital in Joplin after suffering injuries in a car accident in March. The funeral was Friday.
Swadley elected to play Sunday's doubleheader. Batting second in the order, she opened the first game with a single. She recorded an RBI double in the second game.
"That hit Brooke Swadley got in the first inning, she hadn't seen a pitch in 10 days," Missouri Southern coach Bill Gray said. "And she drives it. It was great for the hit. It was great for the RBI in the second game. And getting hit by a pitch means she's back, because she leads the team in hit by pitches. I think that's 10 now. It was all positive."
One section of the home bleachers was filled with family members in support of Swadley.
"The support of my team and Coach Gray and Coach (Jenna) Smart has been just awesome," Swadley said. "They're just like family to me. I knew I had to come back today just because softball has been such a big part of my life and also my parents' life. I knew my mom would want me to come play."
Central Missouri (24-20, 14-12 MIAA) took a 2-0 lead in the first game with two runs in the fifth inning.
Still trailing 2-0, Missouri Southern's Dawn Grass led off the bottom of the seventh with a walk. Haley Pyles singled to right, then Brooklyn Farrell loaded the bases after a bunt single. With two outs, Brown hit the game-winner with a three-run double to right field.
"As soon as we got that bunt down and they didn't get Brooklyn out on the bunt, I felt good about where we were at and what was going to happen," Gray said. "Then that right fielder took a step in on the shot that Chloe hit, and I wasn't stopping Brooklyn Farrell for nothing. That was a key time for a junior to step up."
Swadley said it was a big win for the team. The Lions had only one hit through the first six innings.
"I think a lot of people underestimate our team, but one good thing about us is that no matter how many things go wrong we always fight back and stick together," she said. "Of course, we would have rather swept them, but I think it speaks a lot for our team that we were able to come back in the seventh inning."
Sarah Williams pitched the win for the Lions, and Megan Schallom recorded the loss for the Jennies.
The Jennies took a 1-0 lead in the second inning when Kristen Heil hit an RBI single to score Alex Groeger. Central Missouri tacked on two more runs in he top of the fourth with an RBI by Jakki Prater and Groeger scoring on a passed ball.
Missouri Southern's lone run was in the fifth inning when Swadley hit an RBI double to score Alana Hester.
Jessica Wilkes earned the win for Central Missouri, while Kayce Moore suffered the loss for MSSU.
Moore and Hannah Cooke were honored as part of senior day. Missouri Southern also wore pink uniforms to support breast cancer awareness.

Hi guys, it has been said the set up is they key to a big squat and the trouble im having is upper back tightness. I feel tight when i unrack the bar by keeping my head down and swinging my hips under to unrack but sometimes i end up hunched over and due to swinging my hips in walking out all unstable at max loads.
i have tried to look up and think just squat the weight up out of racks first , lt it settle and set up , but when i keep head up and try squat the weight up , i feel really loose and the weight feels 10x heavier
any advise???
Where is your hand placement on the bar? And are you squeezing the bar? I had the same problem and moved my hands out further on the bar and made sure I squeezed the shit out of it. That has helped me keep upper back tightness a lot better.

Brenda Sue Sutton sat in her winter coat and hat at the polling place located in Davis Elementary School. While the lights were on, there was no heat in the gymnasium where the voting was taking place.
"They are supposed to bring in some generators this evening," the poll chairwoman said.
In spite of the cold, Sutton said the voting has gone smoothly.
"We've been extremely busy," she said. "Busy, but flowing."
Sutton speculated that, since much of the surrounding area is still without power, people were getting to the polls earler than normal
"What happens when the sun goes down," she said. "There are lots of trees down and wires. People won't want to go out in that."
Jim Mahon, an attorney with the Republican Committee and a poll watcher, said he was impressed with the jobs that the poll workers did under less than optimal circumstances.
"What's important to emphasize is the dedication of the election inspectors of all the districts we visited," he said. "They are the heroes of this election. They have been operating under very diffucult conditions and a lot of these people are been working since 5 this morning."
EDITOR'S NOTE: Chris Eberhart contributed to this report.
Incumbent NY State Senator Andrea Stewart-Cousins will be watching the election results live with Westchester County Democrats at the Crown Plaza Hotel in White Plains tonight.
Stewart-Cousins, who is running unopposed, represents Rivertowns, Tarrytown-Sleepy Hollow, Scarsdale, White Plains and part of New Rochelle.
New Rochelle residents crowded into the Doyle Senior Center on Davis Avenue Tuesday to cast their votes in the general election. While there was no line and people were able to zip through if they lived in District 26, residents of District 25 had to wait on line at times 15 deep before they mark their ballots.
Voting was light at midday at the New Rochelle Public Library. The polls were located in the community meeting room near the Ossie Davis Theater.

Mac was so young when he died of pneumonia in 2008 – he would have turned just 55 years old today. We should have been able to enjoy a lot more years of Mac on TV, like in his funny and successful The Bernie Mac Show…
And we should have been able to see him continue his path to movie stardom. He was fantastic in Ocean's Eleven – and Twelve and Thirteen, too.
Even after his death, Bernie Mac kept us laughing. Three of his funniest movies were released posthumously – Madagascar: Escape 2 Africa, Old Dogs and Soul Men. In the latter, Mac got to prove that he was more than just a funny guy – he could sing, too.
