If you've ever wondered what the experience of dementia feels like, one south Tulsa center is offering just that.
Cypress Springs, a memory care center, is hosting "Virtual Dementia Tours" Friday at their facility on South Yale Avenue. The simulations will be available from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.
According to the center, the tours are designed to replicate the mental confusion that people with Alzheimer's disease and dementia experience. This is done through the use of equipment and gear worn by the participant.
Each "tour" takes roughly 15 minutes and begins with the participant wearing specific gear that simulates the physical disabilities common in an aging person. Then headphones are worn with a "confusion tape" playing in the headset.
KTUL.com was there to witness the tours with video available above.

Clara Schumann Gets The Google Doodle Homage On Her 193rd Birthday
German composer and pianist Clara Schumann, the wife of Robert Schumann, is celebrated today, on her 193th birthday with a special Google Doodle.
Clara Schumann was the daughter of theologian Friedrich Wieck, attended the Torgau gymnasium, where he received his only formal training in piano. Clara Schumann learned how to play piano from her father, who considered her a music prodigy.
Wieck has slowly became obsessed with the success of his daughter, and developed a tyrannical behavior when it came to Clara's musical education. He forbid his daughter to attend school, keeping Clara at home where all she was taught were piano lessons. Except for her piano and music lessons, Clara Schumann's education was precarious.
Later, Clara Schumann begun giving concerts in Germany, with repertoire imposed by her father, with works by Friedrich Kalkbrenner, Camille Pleyel, Ignaz Moscheles or Henri Herz. Moreover, Clara Schumann's father tried to keep her away from Robert Schuman, the famous composer who later became her husband.
Clara Schumann's father was the one who organized the trips in the cities where his daughter was giving concerts, taking care that all the instruments are on stage and fully prepared, especially Clara's piano.
After Clara Schumann married Robert Schumann, her father's influenced diminished, and she begun to play works by composers like Ludwig van Beethoven, Johann Sebastian Bach or Robert Schumann
Clara Schumann, the German composer and pianist who is today celebrated by a Google Doodle, died May 20th, 1896, in Frankfurt.

2Filming 'Gravity' Really Depressed Sandra Bullock
Sandra Bullock is lovely and really sweet and one of the least offensive stars in Hollywood and I've been wanting to see Gravity for EVER (I need to hit up that IMAX – is it worth it?) so it sucks that she dealt with depression while shooting the film. The nature of the the whole "stuck in space" storyline meant she had to spend a fair bit of time in an isolation tank – we're talking 8-10 hours some days – which really took a toll on her mental and emotional state.
From The View (via DS):
"I was depressed, I was angry, I would get so sad because it was a black room, no human contact, they took away sound."
Bullock explained that director Alfonso Cuarón helped her through difficult periods by bringing her son Louis to her.
"What they did was, Alfonso could see, because he had cameras always on my face, he would be like, 'She's cracking, she's cracking, go get the kid'.
"They'd created this whole wonderland just outside for Louis [to keep him occupied during filming], so [they brought him in]."
Aw, that's sweet. We all know Louis is the cutest kid EVER, so I can see why that would cheer anyone up, to be honest. I can imagine that would be really depressing, though. Ahhh, I gotta see this movie!

2 Responses to "Filming 'Gravity' Really Depressed Sandra Bullock"
You HAVE to hit the IMAX… best use of 3D I've seen so far. That movie really got under my skin, I sat there crying for about an hour. It's really intense. But so awesome, really.
Visually stunning. I think it is mostly eye candy. Characters are flat. The whole idea that NASA would send someone like Sandra Bullock's character to space is unconceivable/unbelievable. The idea that there is no sound in space is emphasized, but the movie uses pretty annoying music at all times to tell you how you are supposed to feel. Hate reading Alfonso and Jonas Cuaron explaining what they were trying to do. So stupid it makes me want to jump from my window five times.

Definition: A computed tomography scan is a study that uses a series of x-rays to create image "slices" of the body. This type of study is commonly called a CAT scan, but the terminology CT scan is preferred. The "A" in CAT refers to "axial," or computed axial tomography. Axial is an orientation of images, and at one point in time, it was the only orientation available. With modern computing, many orientations of the imaged (including 3D) can be obtained, so most doctors refer to CT scans.
During a CT scan, the patient is on a table that has a doughnut shaped device at one end. This device contains an x-ray that takes images of the body from different angles. A computer integrates these images to create a two-dimensional (and sometimes 3D) image of the body. The images represent slices of the body, and are usually completed in a series with about one slice per centimeter.

perfect location
Not only was the cottage just right for us, Dave and Sue were attentive to our needs. Location was centrally located and able to accommodate a new born through adult. Our son loved jumping off the dock every morning and making dinner over the open fire. Thanks for a great vacation, we hope to come back next year.
Exception lakefront home with just the right amoun
We are a family of five with three young children (13months -5years) with a lab puppy. Irene was amazing; she provided just the right amount of personal touch with a house warming basket (wine fruit and cheese local to VT) Loved it!!! Followed by a personal visit to ensure we were all set. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean. We had everything we needed and more. The views, the lake and the outdoor patio cannot be beat! The kids and I loved taking the paddle boat out in the evenings to view the sunsets and have a last min. swim. This is the place if you really want to enjoy your family or love in a private quiet and beautiful setting. The house the location cannot be beat in the middle of it all while being away from it all. The host and the love is what makes us want to return next year. A BIG thank you to you Irene, keep up the wonderful hospitality and you will have a house bustling with happy souls. The Studebaker Family
Great for families and fishermen!
My husband and I and our 2 boys (ages 5 and 7) rented the cabin last year and couldn't wait to return this year. The cabin overlooks Pelot Bay, and we were able to launch our kayaks easily from the ramp. There is also a small dock that everyone loved to fish from - my older son caught the first fish on our vacation the day we arrived (large mouth bass). My husband fished from the dock early every morning (and evening) and caught different species every day, including small mouth bass, large mouth bass, pike, bowfin, pickerel, sunfish, and even a carp. The cabin is certainly old and rustic, and we did have to occasionally herd a couple of very large spiders out the door, but it was clean and the kitchen was well equipped for the few nights I cooked indoors. There is no cable or WiFi, and cell phone reception is spotty at best, but we spent the majority of our time outdoors. For the few rainy days, we brought our own puzzles/crafts/games, and the TV has a DVD player which we used at night. Though we never swam off the dock (too many weeds), there are several beaches nearby that the boys loved (Knight Point, Sand Bar, and Alburg Dunes). As for food and supplies, the Hero's Welcome store is just down the road, Kim's Snack Bar wasn't much farther, and a large shopping mall with Target, Best Buy, etc in Plattsburg, NY is about 45 minutes away (including the ferry ride). I would recommend this place to anyone who loves the Champlain islands and do not need or expect luxurious accommodations, and we look forward to staying there again next year!

Fellow Democrats Larry Walker and Norma Torres each faced opposition to their preferred ballot designations for the special election in Inland Southern California's 32nd Senate District.
Torres lost hers, while Walker won by default.
Wednesday morning, lawyers for an Ontario attorney and San Bernardino County Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector Larry Walker were scheduled to square off in a Sacramento courtroom over Walker's preferred ballot designation as "San Bernardino County Auditor-Controller."
It didn't happen. Less than a week after filing a lawsuit contending that Walker instead should be listed as "San Bernardino County Auditor-Controller-Treasurer-Tax Collector," the plaintiff dropped the case.
The lawsuit by Ontario lawyer Samuel P. Crowe accused Walker of trying to hide his "tax collector" duties because it would turn off SD-32 voters. It noted that Walker had included "tax collector" in his ballot designation when he ran for re-election in 2010.
The special election's tight schedule left no time to litigate the issue, said a representative of the plaintiffs.
"We found out after we filed that ballots have already been printed," said Democratic political consultant Josh Pulliam. Pulliam is advising unidentified interests expected to mount an independent expenditure campaign in opposition to Walker, D-Chino, or in support of Torres, D-Pomona.
In court papers, Walker defended his desired designation. He noted that his job title has changed several times over the years.
"The one consistent job in the four times I have run successfully for the position is Auditor-Controller," he said.
Meanwhile, SD-32 ballots will list Torres as "Legislator" after the secretary of state's office denied her preferred ballot designation of "Legislator/Police Dispatcher."
"I am on a leave of absence from my job of 18 years as a 911 dispatcher at LAPD," Torres wrote in a Jan. 22 ballot designation worksheet justifying her preference.
Ballot designations are a big deal for candidates — even more so when turnout is expected to be extremely low.

MONROE, La., (KNOE 8 News) - The CDC in Atlanta is reporting that abortions in the United States have dropped for the most they have in a decade.
The CDC report says U.S. abortions fell 5 percent in 2009, the biggest one-year decrease in at least a decade.
While the exact reasons for the decline are difficult to pinpoint, an Associated Press report attributed the falling numbers to more people using contraceptives like intrauterine devices, condoms, and the "morning-after" pill. It also said the economic recession may have led more women to be more careful because they cannot afford to get pregnant.
But the AP report didn't mention other factors, like the undeniable growth of the pro-life movement, which draws hundreds of thousand of people-many of them young-to the annual March of Life in Washington, D.C. in March and to other public pro-life events. Pro-life groups are also growing: 40 Days for Life started eight years ago and promotes prayer vigils in 400 cities, while participation in Students for Life has doubled in the past five years.

College Interim Report of Student Progress
A professor may send an Interim Report to any student who shows deficiencies in attendance or grades. interim Reports are designed to notify students that they need to take action to improve their performance in a course. However, students should not infer that their attendance or academic performance is acceptable if they do not receive an Interim Report. Each student is responsible to monitor his or her own progress in a course as demonstrated by attendance, timely submission of assignments, and grades on assignments and exams.

Sign this petition and join 100,000′s of other people who stand together with one voice shouting NO NUKES FOR IRAN!
I, the undersigned, believe that the government of Iran is a state-sponsor of terror and a violator of human rights.
I recognize that a nuclear Iran poses a threat to:
America, the Greater Middle East, the Free World,
and last but not least, the Iranian People.
And I realize that negotiations will not prevent Iran from becoming a nuclear power.
I support efforts to prevent Iran from crossing the nuclear threshold, including:
- Educating others about the threat
- Urging politicians and policymakers to take the threat more seriously
- Divesting from Iranian businesses and charitable organizations
- Passing stronger sanctions against Iran until it stops enrichment activities
I fully support the Iranian people in their efforts to free themselves from brutal dictatorship.
And I believe that Western governments should denounce the current leaders of Iran
and state their clear support for Iran's growing democratic movements.

Dejan has an article about Jason Bay saying he was disappointed that the Pirates did not acquire new players or change the roster this offseason. It is not so much what Bay said, but what Huntington said in reply that is very interesting. Saying that they are not just going to get guys to "appease the public" or to "trade guys at low value to make themselves feel better." Perhaps the most telling is the final quote;
"Look, we're not preaching that this team is going to contend. We can't do that. But we can say it will be better. How much better? It's going to be very, very interesting to see."
It is a far cry from the blather that Littlefield would talk about. I find it very candid and refreshing.

So BA published their latest report and lo and behold no Greenjackets made the list which I found surpising.
I did have a question answered which was exciting although at one point I wrote "where" instead of "were"...ugh that bachelors degree in English isn't worth the paper its typed on.
Anyway, Myers did say in response to my question that Joseph Martinez, Antoan Richardson and Eugenio Velez were all impressive this year but because of age they'll have to perform at higher levels to be considered prospects.
He also said that he was unimpressed by Richardson's approach at the plate...jerk.

Union Minister for Information and Broadcasting Manish Tewari today called for revisiting the parameters of India-Japan relationship, stressing the need for moving beyond ODA (overseas development assistance) to co-creation.
Delivering the keynote address at a seminar to close the anniversary of 60-years of Japan-India diplomatic relations, Mr Tewari said there was a "great creative potential" for both the countries, and the steps like establishment of the Mumbai-Delhi corridor and the proposed Bangalore-Chennai-Mumbai corridor are steps in the right direction.
Noting that "Indo-Pacific is a reality today" and Japan is "a neighbour of sorts", Mr. Tewari told the seminar, titled "India-Japan Bilateral Portrayals: Mutual Perception and Image Formation", organised by Observer Research Foundation and the Japanese Embassy, that there is a need to "move out of the existing paradigms and basing of industries".
Tewari said the paradigm should be shifted to areas like joint industrial development, making use of the advantages of both the countries - investment and technology of Japan and the demographic advantage of India.
The minister also stressed on the need to move towards multi-lateral paradigms to leverage peace and stability not only in the region but also in the world.
He said we should also focus on two-way traffic of inter-polation of ideas with greater and robust trajectory and use the power of ideas for a stable and peaceful world.
Japan's Ambassador to India Takeshi Yagi agreed with Tewari that Japan and India should work for ensuring stability and peace in the India-Pacific as well as the world.
Stressing the need for further strengthening the relationship, the Ambassador said he was sure that the bilateral relationship will remain unchanged though the country is going to polls in the next 10 days and a new government will come to power.
The Ambassador noted that the FDI from Japan has become ten-fold while India has also become the 4th largest ODA recipient.
Mr. Vikram Sood, Vice President of the ORF Centre for International Relations, said though the bilateral relations now have enlarged into a strategic partnership since 2000, there is still scope for widening cooperation - like in the field of civil nuclear cooperation.
The one-day seminar had two sessions - one on "National portrayals: Reflection in the history and its evolution" and another on "People's images: Lively impressions in businesses and media". Former Indian Ambassadors to Japan, Mr. Arjun Asrani and Mr. H.K. Singh, scholars, experts, business leaders and students from India and Japan took part in the conference. (ANI)

Student sues Port St. Lucie High School teacher Meri-Ann Johnson, board for alleged sex references
PORT ST. LUCIE, FL - A former freshman at Port St. Lucie High School in Florida is suing math teacher Meri-Ann Johnson, school coach David Hentz, and the St. Lucie County School board.
The teenager's lawyer, Gloria Seidule, said he claims last year he was repeatedly exposed to sexually inappropriate behavior in Johnson's ninth-grade math class.
"An algebra teacher was using sex talk as a 'teaching tool'," said Seidule.
In a printed conference summary with last year's principal, Johnson signed off on an admission that she made an inappropriate remark regarding nudity, and that she put her shoe on the student's desk.
Seidule said her client claims that Johnson said, "How about if I get naked?"
Seidule said the student alleged Johnson "simulated" a strip tease in front of the classroom, and took off her shoe, and walked over and slapped it on the top of (the student's) desk."
The summary shows Johnson admitted to using a sex reference explaining an algebraic concept, explaining the X + Y intercept, and the student alleges she also responded inappropriately after he requested to go to the water fountain.
"She responded, 'How about if I pour this water over my body and you can lick it off of me,' and then proceeded to simulate a sex act with the water bottle," said Seidule. "There should be a zero tolerance policy of anything sexual in the classroom. The teacher should have been immediately removed from the classroom."
"If it's even suspected, it should be reported to law enforcement," said Seidule. "Any sexually inappropriate comment should not be ignored. It is our contention that the St. Lucie County School Board is creating an institutional culture of ignoring very serious signs of potential sexual abuse by a teacher."
"The complaint was met with no response," she continued. "The student's mother filed a bullying and harassment complaint, she followed all of the guidelines of the school board. This was met with no response. She was very concerned that this teacher remained in the classroom with everything that she admitted and everything that was proven by their investigation."
The student's mother was a St. Lucie County teacher and was named "Teacher of the Year" at a local elementary school. Seidule said the family decided to move out of state because of the alleged situation.
"They brought in children who were in the classroom, and they wrote, during the investigation, substantiation that the teacher did in fact do this," said Seidule. "So there's really no question that she did do this."
Seidule said David Hentz, Port St. Lucie High School junior varsity baseball coach, is related to Johnson. Seidule said the student was on the baseball team, and Hentz reportedly began retaliating against him.
"The JV coach told the young man, 'If you ever complain against me, you will never play ball again,'" said Seidule.
Hentz confirmed to Scripps Treasure Coast Newspapers that Johnson is his niece by marriage, and that he had no comment on the lawsuit.
"The family decided to bring this case to hold the school board accountable, and to stop this type of conduct in the classroom," said Seidule. "Our children deserve a clean environment in which to learn, and that should not be tarnished by inappropriate conduct by a teacher. If a teacher is accused, then she should not have access to children."
Attempts were made to reach Johnson by phone and email, but there was no response.
St. Lucie County District spokesperson Janice Karst responded through email that the district can't comment on pending litigation. She did confirm there was an internal investigation that interviewed students about these allegations, and that Meri-Ann Johnson is still teaching at Port St. Lucie High School.

Phys of Nutriti
Shawn knows her stuff. She can be a bit absent minded sometimes. Tests come off of her lectures. Offers extra credit on random lecture days. Valuable class. I think everyone should take it because it is information that can be used in real life. Third exam is the hardest because of all the memorizing. She is super helpful in her office hours!
27 50 Fund Phys
Dr. Flanagan is a really nice instructor. She tries to explain harder concepts in an easier way using real life analogies, however some made the concepts more confusing. She writes on the white board a lot so sit in front. Memorize stuff highlighted in her ppts, book was hardly used. Not the brightest professor, but always helpful
Shawn is my favorite professor is the HHP department. She's very friendly and helpful and makes class lively by opening up discussion and giving students the chance to answer questions. She is very knowledgeable about her field, and sometimes lectures may be a little out of order but it's not a big deal.
At times, she is confusing, but overall, she is decent at teaching. Study extra hard for the third exam because this is one is the hardest. She DOES give extra credit so attend lectures! Read the book and take notes. Like any other classes, put in the time and effort, and it's an easy A.
Worst HHP professor. Super friendly, but very unorganized and scatter-brained. Doesn't talk in full sentences. Test questions poorly written and confusing.
I had her for Understanding Human Disease. Test and online quiz material comes straight from notes. Sometimes would give bonus point quizzes. Class was not mandatory. Overall very cheerful and helpful.
Phys 27-50
She is very absent minded and does not organize notes well. she breezes through the most difficult material and spends excessive amounts of time on easily grasped content. She writes alot of notes very messily on a small whiteboard so going to class is necessary, Her tests focus on the harder parts that she barely covers but they aren't aweful
Phys 27-50
She is not a great professor. Speeds through notes. I could barely keep up with her when I was typing my notes. I did not use the book very much. The tests are pretty simple. Weekly online quizzes are an easy way to get points.
Her lectures are VERY fast-paced and confusing. She doesn't seem very intelligent, but it super nice. Exams are straight-forward and weekly quizzes help with points. I didn't use the book much because it went into too much detail, but was helpful for organization of notes.
She's pretty confusing and seems to confuse herself sometimes. Not the smartest professor I've had. That being said, she's a very nice person. Very understanding, tests are pretty straightforward, and always has a good attitude.
If you pay attention in class, read the book, think through the material, and visit her office hours and talk about the material, you'll do great. She goes through content pretty quickly so you'll far behind if you miss class. She is super nice if you visit her office hours, and she will explain concepts until you get them.
Human Phys
Quizzes every weekend that pretty much save your grade. She is very confusing when it comes to explaining major concepts. She writes on a SMALL board and therefore the kids in back cannot understand. Scribbles alot on the board. You will get lost in her lecture if you do not pay attention the whole time. Tests were okay.. not easy though
Genetic Disease
This class is a waste of time. Take classes with intelligent professors or you will just be burning valuable time and money. Her lectures are not logically organized and relate poorly to one another. She usually gets confused trying to explain her own concepts.
Phys. of Aging: Lectures given by Dr. Flanagan wasn't boring. Her questions on the exam are pretty easy.
The course is overall a joke. It doesn't challenge you to think outside of what has been taught since the 70's. She asks random detailed questions to be tricky so you have to pay attention in class. She isn't organized and seems like she hardly cares about what she is "teaching" based on how fast she goes. Definitely NOT my favorite prof...
doesn't explain anything in detail, you have to really read the book to understand what is going on. exams are not bad
Loved this class. Easy, helpful,relaxed atmosphere - tests can be tricky. I had a background of Physiology so it really wasn't bad. Textbook was NEVER used. Go to class - she draws things out that aren't on the slides. She'll ask questions in class for anyone to answer. Quizzes every weekend!
took stress management with her, learned little, she went throught the difficult material quickly and the easy stuff for way too long.. the class was a waste of time to me but then again it was stress management
Covers easy stuff very slow and breezes through challenging material. Kind of ditsy. One of the worst Integrative Physiology professors but good comparative to most Iowa profs.
Talks fast but knows her stuff
More Physiology professors at University of Iowa

It's the training ground for Lubbock's finest, but their Police Academy has definitely seen better days.
Monday, crews began a long-overdue asbestos abatement at the facility. The process is scheduled to take a maximum of 120 days. However, step inside the doors of the academy and you'll see asbestos is only part of a much bigger problem.
Take a look around and you'll see water-stained carpet that's coming up in some areas and ceiling tiles held up only by duct tape.
"Aesthetically pleasing, some of it is not. It's still functional, we can still walk on it, but we're going to get to the point where the carpet bubbles up too big and we're going to trip on it," Academy Lieutenant, John Hayes said.
Some of the carpet in the facility has been replaced, but if it looks familiar, that's because it was taken right out of the Lubbock Preston-Smith International Airport. Mayor Glen Robertson says that's completely unacceptable.
"We always hear about governmental waste; we've gone to the other end of the spectrum to where we are costing the taxpayers money, to holding off on this so long that we have to replace rather than repair," Robertson said.
Under the carpet, you'll find the asbestos problem that's gone untreated for years. The danger lies in the glue that was used to attach the floor tiles. The building was used by Reese Air Force Base in the 1970s.
"Building codes in the '70s were far different than they are today. Today they're much more restrictive - the types of materials you can use," Hayes said.
Lubbock City Council approved the asbestos abatement that began Monday, but Robertson says that's just the tip of the iceberg that's growing across the city.
"Our infrastructure is crumbling. We've gone through a ten-year period where we have ignored a lot of routine maintenance," Robertson said.
The mayor says a complete overhaul of many city facilities could cost tens of millions of dollars.

What Colleges Must Do to Keep the Public's Good Will
By Patrick Callan and John Immerwahr, The Chronicle of Higher Education, Jan. 11, 2008
Higher education has been lucky—it hasn't been weighed down by the loss of public trust that's befallen fields like accounting, professional sports, and politics. For most people, colleges and universities are worthy of respect. When asked about colleges, focus-group participants talk about medical research, the accessibility of community colleges, and the prestige and tradition of big state schools. Most people also say colleges and universities are teaching students what they need to know for career success. But a sea change could be coming, write Patrick Callan of the National Center for Public Policy and John Immerwahr of Public Agenda in a commentary in the Chronicle of Higher Education.
The writers, both education policy researchers, report on a gradual erosion of the public's faith and good will toward higher education. While Americans understand the importance of a degree, they are frustrated with rising tuition costs and worry about being priced out of the system. They're also becoming more wary about the altruistic position universities have traditionally enjoyed in the community. More than half of people interviewed in recent focus groups said that colleges today "mainly care about the bottom line," and have "money coming in from everywhere."
So how can institutions of higher learning stay on the public's good side? It all comes down to accountability and access, the authors write. Avoid "golden geese" programs and expenditures, like private jets for presidents and sky-high salaries for athletic coaches. Develop new measures of accountability to demonstrate what students are getting for their money. Consider reorganization of programs and departments to serve more students without increasing tuition prices. The traditional deference paid to higher education may not be around forever, the authors warn. Now is the time to consider how to maintain the public's trust.

Martial arts film fans will get a taste of the traditional fighting arts of the New Zealand-based Maori in an upcoming film entitled THE DEAD LANDS.
The film, which begins principal photography in the new few days as of this writing, is being directed by local arthouse filmmaker Toa Fraser. The film is set in period New Zealand, where a young Maori chieftain's son seeks revenge on the people responsible for destroying his tribe. To achieve this, he must enter the titular area and forge an alliance with a mysterious warrior. The cast will include James Rolleston, Rena Owen, Lawrence Makoare, Te Kohe Tuhaka, Xavier Horan, and George Henare.
Having researched some information on the Maori fighting arts, this style has rarely been documented yet it is still trained and consists of both hand-to-hand combat ("mau") and weapon combat. The weapons used including fighting sticks ("mau rakau") and clubbed weapons. The most well-known weapon in this style is the "taiaha", a staff made of either wood of whale bone used for close quarters combat. For more information, check out Fight Times' article on the Maori martial arts.
XYZ Films, who helped produce THE RAID: REDEMPTION, will be handling the international business for THE DEAD LANDS, which is due for release next year.

Premise 1: Basketball is primarily a talent-based game, secondarily a team based game. If you can't get superstar talent, just strengthen your team.
Premise 2: Defense wins championships, but offense keeps you in the game to begin with.
Premise 3: I estimated and ranked a players value on (highest value to lowest):
1on1 scoring Talent
With all that said, I think we can't really lose on this draft, even if we don't get a superstar, we can strengthen our team.
If we get: ____ Round 1/ then we should get _____ in Round 2
If we get Cousins, who in my opinion is a sure thing...the next oversized Charles Barkley. The best one-on-one scoring talent in the draft... plus he's a bad boy. We can risk on Vanardo who could turn into the next Dennis Rodman / Ben Wallace. Blocks, rebounds and energy.
With Monroe in the middle, our point guard situation would be mollified, and our offense would open up. He brings scoring talent and assist ability. Zoubek was the number one offensive rebounder in the entire NCAA, which says a little about why his time won the championship... and he's a 7 footer, and pretty tough/mean as well.
Cole would definitely help the Pistons offensvely and defensively. A very strong role player...not many people can say they had a triple double in the NCAA. Not a 1on1 scoring dynamor, but he can score, rebound and block shots. I would supplement him with Jerome Randle, one of the most underrated prospects of this year. He would bring lots of fluidity to the offense... A passing and scoring PG with proven production who I think will prove to be 2nd only to John Wall as a PG in this draft. Good passing point guards make big men appear better than they are.
Ekpe would bring an amazing defensive focus to the Pistons front line. I would not be disapointed with him, but only if we selected Parakhouski in the 2nd round. I believe Parakhouski is the most complete big man in the 2nd round. He would provide size, and a more complete offensive game to our front line.
I would also pick Whiteside if he fell to the second round...
So, with talent first and team building next... I think any of these selections would make the Pistons a MUCH stronger team next year.

PHILADELPHIA — A small army of electricity restoration crews labored Friday to reconnect nearly 300,000 customers in Pennsylvania and Maryland, and utility companies warned some will have to wait several more days.
The lion's share of the outages remained in the Philadelphia suburbs, where many schools were closed for a third day, and a PECO spokesman said work was continuing around the clock. PECO accounted for about 250,000 outages late Friday afternoon.
"That number is coming down throughout the course of the day," said PECO spokesman Fred Maher. "We are preparing people for the fact that some folks will be without power over the weekend."
Severe cold weather that gripped the mid-Atlantic on Friday was expected to remain in place for days, and forecasters said light snow was possible over the weekend.
Utility companies reported about 280,000 customers without power in Pennsylvania — most of them in the five-county Philadelphia area. In Maryland, service has been restored to all but about 16,000 homes and businesses.
There has been progress — more than a million total outages had been attributed to the storm.
Systems engineer John Bowman said he has been buying $6 packages of firewood at a neighborhood hardware store, planning to burn them in the coming days to keep the temperature in his Downingtown home high enough to prevent damage to water pipes. He said he was told it may be Sunday before his power is restored.
"With the way the sun's been warming up the house, I don't want to use those rations yet," Bowman said.
Rachel Ezekiel Fishbein of Elkins Park lost power before dawn Wednesday, a day after she spent about $300 on groceries in anticipation of the storm. Although she tried to save some perishables by packing them outside in a cooler in the snow, she wasn't optimistic on Friday morning.

Miss Oklahoma Alicia Clifton has been impressing judges for years, and Saturday night on a national stage she was named second runner-up at the Miss America pageant at Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.
Miss Oklahoma is second runner-up in Miss America pageant
Clifton, 21, of Oklahoma City, is an accomplished tap dancer and a junior at OU.
Miss New York Mallory Hytes Hagan was named Miss America.
Oklahoma's own Jane Jayroe, who won the national title and crown in 1967, said she thought Clifton did a fabulous job and represented Oklahoma well.
"We have one of the strongest pageants in America and she just proved that over and over again tonight," Jayroe said. "She was stunning in everything she did. She was poised and articulate and I was very, very proud of her."
Taylor Tomlinson, Clifton's Tri Delta sorority sister, said, "Alicia has always been very hardworking and determined in all that she does. If she sets a goal, she will do all that she can to achieve it. Her dream has been to serve as Miss Oklahoma and she has done so passionately and elegantly."
Clifton had plenty of friends and family there for support, including five sorority sisters who are more than 30 years her senior. They got to know Clifton because of their involvement in the house corporation and as advisers.
The group included Jackie Jones, Sonja Pellow, Sallie Cavin and Marylee Strange, all from Oklahoma City, and Betsy Hibbard from Cushing.
"She's just an adorable girl," Strange said. "We like her. She's the kind of girl you want to win, so we decided to come to Las Vegas with her."
Clifton's platform is TAP Into Lifelong Volunteerism. She is a broadcast journalism major and was a member of the OU pompon squad for two years.

Jenny McCarthy is fighting for feminism the best way she knows how: in the nude.
The 39-year-old appears in her birthday suit for the cover of the July/August edition of Playboy, nearly two decades after she first posed for the magazine.
"I'm really proud of it," McCarthy tells People. "The pictures are really gorgeous and classy. They could be out of W magazine. They're really elegant. It's probably a lot more sophisticated than a lot of the stuff you'd see of people with their clothes on."
The pictorial will be the Love in the Wild host's seventh since 1993, when she first appeared in the October issue for a paltry $20,000 US before becoming a Playmate of the Month and eventually Playmate of the Year.
"I did it 20 years ago in 1993. It was kind of on my bucket list to do it again before I turned 40," she said during an appearance on The Wendy Williams Show last week. "I'm so tired of seeing just the 20 year olds being considered sexy. I was like, 'MILFS are hot, too.' I'm getting better with age."
To that effect, McCarthy told People she went out of her way not to lose too much weight for the shoot.
"The one thing I like about Playboy is they don't have the anorexic look," she said. "The women are voluptuous. So I didn't really want to diet. I just wanted to tone up."
Playboy's July/August issue hits newsstands this Friday.

All Things Edible
Everyone loves sweet treats and savory snacks. Buy jars of honey or jam, then soak off the labels and add your own along with a pretty ribbon. Or for an especially cheap wedding favor, buy colorful candy like M&Ms in bulk, and pour them into small cellophane bags. Tie them with pretty ribbon and add a tag with your initials and wedding date to make them prettier and more personal. But certainly don't feel like you have to limit yourself to M&Ms. Almost any candy, taken out of its commercial packaging and put in beautiful cellophane bags will look special. Find something you love that works with your colors.
- A Donation to Charity An especially meaningful inexpensive wedding favor is a donation to your favorite charity in your guests' names. Make up pretty cards that say, "In lieu of favors, the bride and groom have made a donation to XYZ Charity in your name." A good guideline is to donate $3-$10 per guest, but if you can't afford that, even a dollar per guest can help a charity. Look at the I Do Foundation for examples, or read more about charity and your wedding.
- Cheap Pashminas and Pocket Squares
For an outdoor wedding, consider providing a basket of pashmina scarves for your guests to use there and take home with them. You can frequently find them on eBay for less than $5 each, and you won't need to have one for every guest. Or, give pashminas to all the women, and pocket squares for the men. They'll do double duty by adding a lot of color to your wedding reception, allowing you to save by using neutral linens.
- Cookie Cutter Wedding Favor Wrap a heart-shaped cookie cutter with your favorite family cookie recipe and a cute saying like, "We're cut out for love!" or "Thanks for all the sweetness and love!" or even, "Cookie-n' Up a Lifetime of Sweetness!"
- Holiday Time For a December wedding, get crafty and make some holiday ornaments. The blog YoungHouseLove recently made some crafty ones which averaged only $0.71 a piece! You could add your wedding date and initials, or a note wishing them a beautiful and bright Holiday season. Or you can purchase bulk wedding ornaments for about $2 to $3 each. Use them as place cards at the wedding, then guests can use them as picture frames or ornaments later.
- Cute Luggage Tags They're frequently mentioned as a cheap wedding favor, but most magazines and blogs also suggest that you personalize them with your names or wedding date. I'm sorry to say that if you do that, your precious gifts will mostly end up in the trash. For a long-lasting gift, choose cute tags that tie into your theme, like these airplane tags for a destination wedding, or snowflakes for a winter wonderland wedding. Or you can find neutral ones and create a pretty label to slip inside. After the wedding, your guests can replace the label with their contact information.
- A Beautiful Pear The play on words of pear and pair naturally lends itself to inexpensive wedding favors. For a fall wedding, consider giving your guests a beautiful in-season pear tied with a pretty ribbon and tag that says, "The perfect pair: [your names]." Or you could up the ante with homemade caramel-dipped pears for an extra-special treat. Non-edible ideas include pear-shaped scented soap, or a pear-shaped candle.
Whatever you end up using for inexpensive wedding favors, make sure that you are thoughtful about your guests. Think about how they'll use the items, and whether they'll truly be useful and special long after your wedding day. Most of all, make sure they are an expression of you, and a celebration of your love!

There are two stakes races on Gold Cup day contested over the turf. Rain on Friday rendered the course yielding with slow times the order of the day. The $600,000 Joe Hirsch Turf Classic Invitational (G1), at 1 1/2 miles on the Widener course, is Belmont Park's "Win and You're In" qualifier for the Breeders' Cup Turf. Point of Entry was sent off as the 3-4 favorite in the field of 6 off a four race winning streak including the Man O'War (G1) and Sword Dancer (G1). In to challenge him included 2-1 second choice Little Mike, winner of the Arlington Million (G1) last out, and 9-2 third choice Treasure Beach, 6th in the Arlington Million (G1) and winless since the 2011 Secretariat (G1).
Jockey Ramon Dominguez sent Little Mike to the lead first time by and he set easy fractions of 25.70, 51.99, and 1:18.16 while pressed by Treasure Beach and Point of Entry. With 4 furlongs to go, Jamie Spencer sent Treasure Beach to the front through 1 mile in 1:43.67 and 10 furlongs in 2:08.29. At the 3/16 pole Point of Entry moved out for room and rallied, passing Treasure Beach with a furlong to go, winning by 1 3/4 lengths in 2:33.73 over the yielding course. It was a long 2 1/2 lengths back to 24-1 Kindergarden Kid third.
Also on the card were the Jockey Club Gold Cup and the Kelso Handicap, the Beldame Stakes, and the Vosburgh Stakes.

Whitecaps FC-Union Preview
By MATT BECKER
(AP) -- The Vancouver Whitecaps are off to a strong start, but realize they can get better.
The Philadelphia Union also have plenty of room for improvement, something clearly evident from their record.
After being shut out last weekend, the Whitecaps hope to generate some offense when they visit the winless Union in their lone meeting of the season Saturday.
Vancouver (2-0-1) has opened with three consecutive shutouts and is the league's only team yet to surrender a goal.
In a scoreless draw with D.C. last Saturday, Joe Cannon looked sharp in making three saves after leaving a 1-0 road win over Chivas USA on March 17 with a quadriceps injury. Cannon has 11 saves on the season while backup Brad Knighton has two.
The Whitecaps are two shutouts shy of their total from their inaugural season of 2011. Vancouver still has a way to go to break New York's record for consecutive scoreless minutes to open a season of 421, set in 2007.
"We've almost matched last year's total. It's a good start for us, and it's good for our confidence," Cannon told the official MLS website after tying United. "But at the same time, it would have been good for a win."
That would have required the Whitecaps to score. To do so, they would have needed to record a shot on goal - something they failed to do for the second time in team history.
Vancouver, which had a league-low 35 goals in 34 games last season, appeared to strengthen its offense in the offseason by acquiring Sebastien Le Toux from the Union.
Le Toux, who'll be making his return to Philadelphia, led the Union in scoring each of their first two seasons and has one of Vancouver's three goals this year.
"There's lots of room for improvement," coach Martin Rennie said. "But when you're not connecting in all those areas, you want to make sure you're hard to beat."
That hasn't been the case at all for the Union (0-3-0). Philadelphia has been outscored 6-2 in opening with three losses for the first time in its three-year history and is one of two teams without a point.
The Union, who have dropped a team-record six straight, are coming off a 1-0 loss to Chicago last Saturday.
"It's never easy to look at the standings after the game," coach Peter Nowak said. "They are pushing very hard. I can't say one bad thing about the effort.
"What we need to do now is believe it. We are a very good team, young but very good. We have the quality to win the games. That's my job right now to inject the confidence."
Playing captain Danny Califf could give his team a boost. Nowak has held Califf out of the last two games after he played all 90 minutes in the season opener.
The coach felt Califf wasn't 100 percent after undergoing offseason knee surgery, which upset the star defender. Califf is uncertain to be in the lineup for this game.
"I'm hopeful and I'm anxious," he said.
The Union and Whitecaps split two meetings last season with each winning 1-0 at home.

Ordinarily, we wouldn't give a holiday campaign from UK retailer Marks & Spencer much thought, but this year's happens to star Seb White, a four-year-old boy with Down syndrome.
White is seen in the bottom right-hand corner of the ad below, and he looks like a dashing gent in a striped cardigan, tan trousers, button-up, and bowtie. He's the first child with Down's to model for the retailer, and we say that it's about time. According to the Daily Mail, White's mother sent Marks & Spencer a Facebook message asking why her son couldn't be considered a model for their holiday ads, so the retailer gave him an audition and eventually cast him in its holiday campaign. The results are nothing short of heartwarming.
Marks & Spencer isn't the only retailer giving children with Down syndrome a shot at modeling. Earlier this year, six-year-old Ryan fronted a big Target ad and 10-month-old Valentina Guerrero landed a swimwear campaign.

|Commentary- San Fernando Wants To Go To Washington
|Written by San Fernando Valley Sun
|Thursday, 03 May 2012 02:15
Dear Citizens of San Fernando,
If you didn't know about 100 Citizens, I hope you read the article in The Sun last week. My name is Steven Loy, Ph.D. and I have been working on creating programs to help the citizens of San Fernando become more active and healthier. Since last summer, a number of programs for adults and seniors have been developed and I encourage you to visit Recreation Park to see what fits your schedule from a free fitness class to Zumba, Spinning, Body Sculpting, and a Power Yoga class. These programs are all outgrowths of our 100 Citizens program which you can view by typing tinyurl.com/100Citizens into your browser. You'll see a video of 100 Citizens which we have entered in Michelle Obama's Let's Move Faith Based and Community Organization Challenge.
The purpose of this commentary is to urge you to vote every day, until May 11. Once a day, every day. Why? Because if we win the popular vote, I will be invited to the White House to show this video and talk about San Fernando's free community fitness program brought to you by students from California State University, Northridge's Kinesiology Department. Kinesiology is about the art and science of human movement and I bring our students out to help you become stronger and able to do more activities easier. This will be a spotlight on what we have done together along with Mission Community Hospital and to explain what Kinesiology is can do for the health of America.
This opportunity to showcase the City of San Fernando and its people at the White House may never come again. I know this has been a challenging year for many reasons. We are working to get as many votes as possible. For 21 days, we held first place and now we have lost it. We are working very hard at CSUN to recapture the lead but we need the help of every adult and teenager in San Fernando. One vote. Everyday until May 11. We cannot do it without you. We've come to San Fernando and I know many of our participants, your neighbors are healthier. Help usreach the White House. With exposure such as this will come additional grant opportunities. I am discussions to expand our San Fernando 100 Citizens across the country. People will know who you are and where you are ... the start of a healthier America.
It is easy to let someone else vote and "maybe" they will. You all vote and we control our destiny on this challenge. With your votes, we get to the White House. Vote once a day, every day. We have the opportunity to place San Fernando in the brightest and most positive light possible! We can share our program with Michelle Obama at her house ... the White House! Unite and vote us to Washington, DC! We KIN do it!
You can visit www.tinyurl.com/100Citizens. Click to vote once a day every day until May 11. New day starts 9:01pm every evening CA time. Email or Facebook but Facebook is fastest.
