Zowie EC1 Gaming Mouse Review
Up Close
Published: 28th September 2010 | Source: Zowie | Price: £49.95 |
Up Close with the EC1
Firstly it's a long way from California to the OC3D office and clearly the postal services were none too kind with the EC1. The box was rather battered by the time we finally got our hands on it but thanks to the sturdy plastic cover the mouse itself was none the worse for wear.
By virtue of the Zowie not needing any drivers, and mice being more user friendly than a t-shirt, there is nothing at all in the box apart from the mouse. A slightly curious thing because at minimum you normally get a "thanks for purchasing the ... " type leaflet, but it's not a problem.
Here it is in all it's glory. A very simple looking affair with a matt-black top portion and glossy sides. The wheel is white, as is the Zowie logo at the base. A decent length cable ensures that even the most bizarre PC placement will leave you plenty of wiggle room.
Upside down is, in keeping with the rest of the mouse, a stripped down affair. Besides the barcode and logo sticker we have a small Zowie logo, the 2000dpi sensor and a button to switch between the three pre-programmed dpi settings.
The white variant of the EC1 is made entirely from the same material as the gloss black sides here, whereas the black model has this very lovely soft coating to it. It does seem slightly odd to only cover one section with this grippy material. If you're a fingertip gamer then you'll never get the benefit of the grippier top, and if you're a palm gamer then the difference is jarring.
So why is the mouse-wheel white? Well it's actually translucent. When you adjust the dpi settings using the underneath button the wheel indicates what mode you're in.
Red for 500dpi Purple (although it looks pink here) for 1000dpi
And Blue for 2000dpi
All very simple and it's nice to see a clear indication of which mode you're in. Time to put it through its paces.

I shall read
Well, I have to agree with Bryan. £50 for a mouse that offers nothing much is way too much money. If I hadn't had a look at it flipped over and the blatant MADE IN CHINA stuck underneath I wouldn't have thought about it as much, but it's obviously put together pretty cheaply and thus is woefully over priced.
Personally I don't like the velvet rubber coating. That's why both of my Razers are now back in the box..
On the DPI thing.. I don't really know the complete ins and outs but does 500 DPI just make it slower? or, does it also make it less accurate? (edit, by way of name dots per inch would indeeed indicate so, so 500 dpi may well be very useful for art programs)
The reason I ask is because in Photoshop for example when tracing edges and drawing lines 1000 DPI is so jittery it makes it near on impossible. It's like trying to hold onto a schizophrenic inpatient on caffiene and adrenaline.
I've always used my mice on the lowest possible DPI setting when editing or drawing with Photoshop. It's too easy to slip otherwise.Quote
It's not poorly built at all. It's just.. featureless.Quote
When you use a mouse with low DPI that means when your attempting to draw a straight line in Photoshop, your lines will be straighter since the mouse won't pick up slight tremors that you might have. This is oppose to having high dpi and low sensitivity where the mouse will pick up even the slightest movements.
So in a nutshell. High DPI means higher accuracy of what your hand is actually doing. Low DPI means lower accuracy since the computer plugs in the gaps between movements, so drawing straight lines are easier.
On the issue of this being a gaming mouse. The 1,000Hz refresh rate is good, the DPI is a bit lacking, but a lot of people, such as my friends use ~1,600 DPI when gaming because anything higher is too hard to control, even if they turn the computer sensitivities down a bit. I personally use a 5,000 DPI mouse and computer sensitivity are maxed out and i don't have issues, but realistically 2,000 is probably enough for your average gamer.Quote
I agree that in Photoshop the need for a slower responding mouse is vital. However considering that a basic pen and tablet arrangement can be had for about £50 if you really need that amount of precision and use it regularly enough, then I believe you'd purchase a tablet.
The problem is the competition. Alienware's TACTX mouse for example is a rebranded slightly smaller Logitech. It has about 9 buttons and is completely programmable AND has a RGB lighting system.... For £45.
I know people are mostly 'no frills' but when you have no frills you don't really want to pay for them. TBH that mouse looks like a Razer Salmosa, has the same covering as a Razer Salmosa and about the same level of functions yet the Salmosa costs around £16.
If they are aiming for a niche market then I think Steelseries have already beaten them to it Quote
I just see no reason when you can get some great mice for ~£32, because a lot of people will agree that the Deathadder or the G500 is the most anyone will ever need. That is true, seeing as most people don't have monitors at anything more than 1080p.
To be honest, I have been using a Microsoft Optical Wheel Mouse and actually prefer it over the Microsoft Sidewinder X5 and any OCZ mouse on the market. But, then again, OCZ makes horrible mice .Quote
However I completely agree that the price they are asking for is unreasonable. Like AlienALX said these mice are comparable with Steelseries, however with a slightly lower prices people lose mouse sensitivity, a few features and the Steelseries brand. Whether or not it's worth saving a bit of money to get a clone is up to the consumer.Quote
I signed up just to post this guys?!?! you must be kidding me? You didn't even get across the revolutionary features developed just for this mouse. 1,5mm lift-off distance and 1000 Hz, not every mouse has these features you know? You say there's no features, but it seems like you didn't even bother to look on the features it does have ! Think we need a smarter reviewer here guys. Shame I normally pay attention to this site.
EDIT: BTW 1000Hz is not revolutionary and most gaming mice have this these days.Quote
Now let's look through the round window ! Oh wait, this isn't playskool. Let's, however, flip a £15 mouse upside down and see what we get shall we?
Is that 1000hz I see? on a £15 mouse? That looks pretty much identical to the one reviewed here for £50? that has the same finish and everything?Quote

This blog is about lots of nerdy things, occasionally including trainers (or sneakers as they say in the US) which believe it or not might seem ultra cool (think Kanye West) but actually attracts a bunch of fanatics no less nerdy for the fact that they're geeking out about something culturally acceptable. In other words, I'm a trainer nerd.
So much so that I went to a session on technology and sneakers today. There was a pretty lengthy but fascinating history lesson followed by a bit of chat about innovation in trainer materials and manufacturing, plus how digital tech is becoming more a part of our footwear. The obvious example is Nike + but there's also trainers that will check you into Foursquare and this was mentioned too:
There wasn't loads of time to chat about futuristic stuff, but the session got me thinking a couple of things:
With the development by Nike of 'Fuse' manufacture – i.e. fusing materials together with heat instead of stitching them, thereby making them lighter, will we soon be able to 3D print* our own trainers? And if so what does that mean for the big companies like Nike, but also for small-scale designers desperate to get their ideas out there? Will we see open source sneakers where designs are freely shared, but still pay a premium for blueprints by Nike's top designers? (yes, I am biased towards Nike as an Air Max 90 lover)
My other thought is that if trainers can be connected to the web and communicate with Foursquare, how soon will my trainers be able to communicate with other people's trainers? A sort of peer-to-peer network of trainers. Inspired by Amber Case's session on cyborgs and location-based technology, could my Nikes communicate with my friend's Nikes to let them know where I am if I'm meeting them in a crowd? For example at SXSW could I have easily located which bars people are at in the city and then let my trainers guide me by buzzing me directions as I walk along?
Kinda fun and useful, but let's not forget that I'm also a nerd for all things Social Change. So really I'm thinking is there a way for a group of people, say #Occupy crowds**, or groups of local volunteers, or relief agencies, to use tech in their trainers to help find each other, group together, move resources, and generally be intelligent about what they're doing on the ground?
For example if a volunteer's sneakers could tell that there were enough volunteers in a particular area, could they guide them to the next place that needed help? Or if my sneakers could tell me that a big crowd was running in my direction could they help me get out of the way?
I'm really just thinking out loud here (can you tell?) but I'm really excited by the possibilities and I'm sure someone clever will think of amazing ways to use this technology. The Future is going to be supercool.
*More to the point when will we stop calling it '3D printing' and just call it 'printing'?
**I would LOVE to do a poll of how many people who've ever been in an #Occupy crowd*** wear trainers by the very corporations they despise. My guess is over 75%
***Other protest groups are available.
What do you mean there aren't enough pictures of trainers in this post? Fine – here are the Best Sneakers of All Time:
Or maybe these:

INXS skein will air on cabler starting August 7
CBS is moving the Monday night edition of Mark Burnett's "Rock Star: INXS" to Viacom sib VH1.
"Rock Star" has been airing three nights a week on the Eye, with segs on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights. Boosted by "Big Brother," the Tuesday 10 p.m. shows have done fine, but the Monday and Wednesday editions have struggled.
So starting this week, what had been the Monday night telecasts — half-hours featuring the reality TV contestants-living-under-one-roof element of the show — will shift over to VH1. Cabler will air those segs on Sundays at 8 p.m., effective Aug. 7.
Eye will continue to air the one-hour Tuesday performance edition of "Rock Star" and the half-hour Wednesday elimination show. Those segs will also get a run on VH1, with the cabler airing them on Saturdays.
In addition, CBS now plans to end the "Rock Star" run two weeks earlier than planned, with the skein's finale now set for Tuesday, Sept. 20.
No money traded hands in the deal. CBS will get promotional spots hyping the Eye run of "Rock Star," while VH1 will get free original programming.
Burnett told Daily Variety he understands the Eye's decision and actually hopes it will end up boosting overall ratings for the show.
"The reason we've been moved off of Monday is that clearly we weren't helping (CBS's) Monday night lineup. It was the only dip in the six half-hours of the night," he said. "It didn't make business sense for CBS, but in discussions with them, we thought that maybe narrowing it to two nights a week would encourage audiences to stay with it."
Indeed, with the fall season just around the corner, CBS needs to have the strongest possible programming on Monday in order to hype two new laffers moving to the night next month. Eye will replace the Monday "Rock Star" with "2 ½ Men" reruns.
What's more, those who are watching "Rock Star" will still be able to see the behind-the-scenes edition of the skein, while a new music/reality-friendly aud on VH1 will get exposure to the program.
"I actually think this is a good move; it was maybe a bit too much to ask people to watch three times a week in the summer," Burnett said.
As for ending the skein early, Burnett said move — while clearly due to lower-than-expected overall ratings — will give the new INXS two more weeks to meet a Thanksgiving deadline for the release of their new album.
While not a ratings juggernaut for CBS, "Rock Star" fits right into the pop culture nostalgia niche in which VH1 traffics. Cabler has become a player in the acquisition of off-net reality and MTV Networks Music Group entertainment president Brian Graden has said the channel will continue to target broadcast skeins that might benefit the cabler's brand.
VH1 is spending $75,000 an episode for exclusive off-net rights to Viacom sib UPN's "America's Next Top Model," which is produced and distributed by King World (Daily Variety, June 4). Marathons of the competish skein have boosted net's total day average, which is up 12% for the month of July. Cabler also pre-bought repurposing rights to NBC's upcoming "Tommy Lee Goes to College," featuring the Motley Crue rocker, and has been running repeats of "Britney and Kevin: Chaotic."
This isn't the first time VH1 has been able to capitalize on a broadcast show.
"The Surreal Life" spent its first two seasons on the WB before relocating to the music channel, where it now anchors the Sunday night Celebreality block. Cabler recently sealed an overall development/production deal with exec producers Cris Abrego and Mark Cronin, ensuring at least three more editions of the skein.
Fox also recently opted to shift summer reality skein "Princes of Malibu" to cable sib Fox Reality Channel.

Big fan of this picture. For all of the reasons.

Big fan of this picture. For all of the reasons.
Via KD's Instagram with the caption "Barcelona."
Add this photo to the very long list of evidence that it'd be super fun to hang with KD and the crew...too bad I can't afford a segway.
Fun fact: The defensive rating of Team USA with Iggy on the floor - our defensive stopper - is second highest out of the entire squad. Wait, what?
Sam Amico: "Teams not exactly lining up to sign free-agent G Lester Hudson, but I'm hearing Thunder & Nuggets interested. He can help someone off bench."
I wonder what ever happened to that little boy who acted to be KD's neighbor. That YouTube channel doesn't exist anymore.
@KDTrey5 Welcome and make sure u bring me my 2 hashbrowns everyday b4 prac RT @Perry_Jones1: S/O to the new member of the team @htdahot_twitta
Washington Post: If you buy Gilbert's $3.5 million Great Falls mansion, you get to keep his sharks
Beard looks unbelievably dorky haha
If I was a middle aged, affluent, white Spaniard I would be terrified to see Carmelo Anthony riding my way on a segway. Just look at those arms!
@ou_sas He's almost exclusively part of some poor defensive lineups. I don't know what the APM for the four games is but I imagine it evens that out a lot.
@diddoff So this ones real? Lol
@ElMexiThunder It was a Nike viral campaign
@ElMexiThunder He's now trying to not drop the soap in prison
@Lost Ones @KDTrey5 @htdahot_twitta Also, I think Hollis gets a major party foul penalty for indicating that he's on twitter by using twitta in his twitter handle. Thanks for that, captain obvious.
@Lost Ones @KDTrey5 @htdahot_twitta is this directed at perry or hollis...or do both bring 1 of kd's 2 hashbrowns
@diddoff I hope they hosed out that grotto.
@diddoff i think it's only right that nene buys this
nice...were gonna see some new avatars from that
@HookemKD i think thats KDs hypeman Randy Williams...not carmelo
@OBoymuzik Yes ;)
@OBoymuzik @ElMexiThunder Don't BS, that kid's dreams CAME TRUE. He lived our dreams and now he soars with eagles!
@Jax Raging Bile Duct @KDTrey5 he must be hiding something on his twitta
@Jax Raging Bile Duct @Lost Ones @KDTrey5 Go easy on the lad, he's new. Don't go scaring him off now.
@OBoymuzik @Lost Ones @KDTrey5 Or are four hashbrowns required, two from each?
Or are the hashbrowns merely Hollis' responsibility, and Perry is responsible for orange juice or eggs?
@BrockSuede @diddoff Has Blatch been there?
@OBoymuzik This thing of beauty has several "sitting places". I call that couch.
@OBoymuzik KDs stalking neighbor stayed in OKC?
@OBoymuzik LMAO !! Plus...Carmelo is 12 lbs slimmer.
@ou_sas @sammasaaron @Lost Ones Ya'll know KD is sharing the hash browns -- he's probably full after one.
@sammasaaron @Lost Ones Yeah, that's what I think when i read that too, lol.
@Lost Ones I can't read 'twitta' without it sounding like Leigh from TBJ in my head.
@Jax Raging Bile Duct @BrockSuede Nah, it'd be "Thompson_Rook".
@BrockSuede What's he gonna do next? Put "Thompson_BasketballPlayer" on the back of his jersey?
@Jooseppi @OBoymuzik @Lost Ones @KDTrey5 KD needs to step on up to the breakfast burrito. Bring that breakfast ish to the next level.
@Jooseppi @Lost Ones @KDTrey5 i hope that hollis has all breakfast responsibility and perry's only chore is arrive at the practice facility before KD and leave after
@BrockSuede @diddoff Blatche*
@diddoff I'm not ok with Gilbert owning this house AND claiming he has a social anxiety problem

Statistically speaking, no Griffins player has ever shown more improvement from one year to the next than Jan Mursak.
By Mark Newman
Jan Mursak always knew he could play hockey at the highest levels, but that belief was more severely tested than he ever might have imagined.
The Red Wings prospect would be the first to admit that he suffered through a crisis in confidence during his first full year as a pro last season.
When I got the chance to play, I just didnt believe in myself, he said. I was getting rid of the puck too fast. I wasnt patient. I was scared to do anything because I didnt want to mess things up.
Last year nothing went in and I became frustrated. I was doing stuff that Im not good at. I made mistakes. But when youre young and inexperienced, it happens.
A point-per-game player in junior hockey, Mursak couldnt seem to score at the AHL level. When his production failed to materialize, he found his ice time dwindled. He became a healthy scratch so often that he lost count of the games that he sat in the stands.
His on-ice struggles were not for lack of desire or effort.
I knew I could do it I was always good in practice but when the game came, nothing would go, Mursak said. It wasnt like I wasnt ready, or that something was wrong. I just didnt have confidence.
Through it all, Mursak remained motivated. He had come to North America in 2006 from the small country of Slovenia, wanting to pursue his dream of playing in the NHL.
His parents had sacrificed plenty to enable him to play hockey equipment back home was not cheap and he was not about to let them down.
I never wanted to disappoint my parents because they put everything they had into hockey, Mursak said. They did everything for me and thats why I want to make them proud, and last year it was really hard because I wasnt doing that.
Every time we talked, I felt bad because I knew I could do so much better.
Frequent phone conversations with his father helped him stay focused. There were more words of encouragement when he returned home this past summer.
I talked to my dad a lot and he supported me all the time, Mursak said. I didnt know what to do any more because it was so hard. I wasnt playing and even when I played, I didnt believe in myself so I didnt show anything good.
Mursaks first goal last season finally came in his 29th game. He finished the year with two goals and seven assists in 51 games.
Its been an entirely different story this season. Through 51 games, Mursak already had 18 goals a terrific turnaround for a hard-working player who refused to quit.
Pucks started going in more often and I felt more comfortable because of it, he said. This year Im getting a lot of ice time and Im just confident in myself, trying to make better plays and working hard, while trying to keep things simple.
His resurgence started as soon as last season ended. He added his own twists to the Red Wings training program, improving his strength and conditioning, while also working on his shot.
I have a friend back home who plays for Nashville and he wants to get better, too, so we kept pushing each other to the limit but still made it fun, Mursak said.
He worked out twice a day, five or six days a week. He shortened his shot so that he had a quicker release. He did a lot of running. He did sprints into the hills near his home.
I worked hard this summer I knew exactly what I wanted, he said. I even took boxing classes, not to fight but just to get into shape. And it all paid off.
He also went to a softer hockey stick and lessened the curve on the blade, although he doesnt credit his recent fortunes to the change.
Im not really picky about my hockey equipment, he said. I dont think it had anything to do with my sticks. I usually have my sticks for a long time before I break them.
The difference, Mursak believes, came in his approach to the game.
This year Im going to the most high-scoring areas, he said. When my teammates have the puck, I just go to the net and look for a redirect or a rebound. Ive just been in the right place at the right time this year.
Mursak also stopped worrying about making the perfect pass or the pretty play. He knew he had to start taking advantage of his speed and do whatever he could to put the puck past the defense.
He was rewarded almost from the start of this season. He scored a goal in back-to-back contests six games into the new campaign and has never looked back.
"I just need to keep shooting the puck and I know it will go in, whether theyre nice goals or ugly ones. No one asks you if they were nice or not, as long as they help the team.
Griffins head coach Curt Fraser said he never doubted Mursaks ability, even when he struggled during his rookie season.
Like a lot of young players, Jan found out that not everything is going to go your way, Fraser said. He ran into some bumps in the road, a little adversity, but he never stopped working.
When he was getting a lot of scoring chances and not finding the back of the net, Im sure it was tough on him, but he found a way to keep working. He probably worked harder than almost anybody last year.
Jan has really taken a step up this year with his speed, skill and determination. Hes really impressed a lot of people and we think he has a really bright future with the Detroit Red Wings.
Mursak will still have his struggles. He will still make mistakes. He will have trouble scoring again. In fact, he went through a 16-game stretch from Jan. 9 to Feb. 15 in which he had just one goal.
If anything, it means he will continue to work that much harder.
Im a really competitive person and I would do anything to be better than another player, he said. Ill work extra hard. Ill go to the gym every day for an hour more than the other guys. I just want to get better and better.
Mursak said he was confident from the first day of training camp last fall. I just knew I was going to have a good season, he said. But I want to play good for a whole season and not just a half.
He would like to still get stronger.
Last year I was a healthy scratch a lot of games and it was really hard on me, but I kept working hard in the gym and I got stronger, which has helped my stability on the ice.
I still need to get a little bigger, but I dont want to rush it because two years ago I added a lot of weight and it didnt work for me. I felt like I couldnt skate as fast.
Having made strides in his own play this year, Mursak would like to do whatever he can to improve the Griffins fortunes as the team heads into the closing portion of the 2009-10 regular season.
Were not far from winning. Its just that one mistake or one bad period that costs us, Mursak said. Were getting punched for every mistake we make. I think were working hard, but were just not working smart.
We just need to keep it simple, especially against teams with good defense. We just need to chip the puck in and wait for their mistakes.
This is a really good team with four strong lines. We just need to start winning. Im a team guy and Ill do anything for the team.

It's true, I love Mursak, he's my favourite prospect.
He's got everything that'll see him make, and succeed, in the NHL. I've known for a while that he's a commited guy, thins article proves it. As long as he continues to work hard he'll make it.
Mursak - Helm - Eaves, that'll be a amazing line for a number of years.
Ken Holland: Hes (Mursak) a young guy, provides energy, can skate, hes a puck hound.

Haha, your favorite prospect really does change a lot. That's good though. It means you know how to have fun with all the prospect excitement.
Though if they were to really put that line out there I think I'd want Eaves on the left simply because he has the best shot among those three and I'd like to see him coming from the opposite side because that would put him in better position to shoot.

You don't need to worry about Williams, I highly doubt he'll even be around next season. I don't see the Wings in his future.
With his speed and style of physical play he will soon be playing in a Wings sweater. He is 3rd in points this season with the Griffins. One thing that could definitely be standing in his is Jeremy Williams, he's doing very well and may get a shot before Mursak.

I've seen him fight a few times and not done too bad but I was wondering about his checking ability. I remember him from his days with the Bulls when I held season tickets for the Sting but jsut can't eem to remember if he was physical or not. Any insight would be appreciated.

Mursak on deck for NHL duty
By Sarah Lindenau RedWingsCentral.com / September 20, 2010
After sitting out nearly 30 games during a horrendous American Hockey League rookie year, Jan Mursak was down but not out.
The 5-foot-11 right-winger returned with renewed vigor as a Grand Rapids Griffins sophomore in 2009-10, increasing his goal production by 1,100 percent and his point total by almost 400 percent.
He finished with 24 goals and 18 assists for 42 points through 79 games.
"My first year I was down on myself," said Mursak, who had two goals and seven assists in 51 games in 2009-10. "Last year I started on the fourth line and climbed my way up to the second line. All my shots went in and I was feeling really good on the ice and started to be confident. It was just amazing going from one season where I didn't play to playing a lot and scoring goals."
The Maribor, Slovenia native also represented his country in the IIHF Pool B world championship, collecting five goals and seven points in five games to lift his country into Pool A for 2011.
With a number of newcomers arriving in Grand Rapids this season, Mursak is expected to assume an even heavier load.
"This year is really important for me because it's my last year of a contract," he said. "I have to show what I can do and try to do my best. So in the off-season I had a private trainer who mixed the Detroit training plan with his plan. I think we did a really good job because I am feeling really good on the ice right now."
What makes this season that much more pivotal is the fact that Mursak is out of waiver options next fall. He'll be expected to increase his production and maybe get a few looks as a call-up to show he is ready for full-time NHL duty.
"Playing for the Red Wings would mean everything," he said. "When I was a young kid I always wanted to play in the NHL. I think my dreams would come true if that happens, but I am concentrating on the season in Grand Rapids first. I am sure if I play well there I will get a call up, but I don't want to think about that too much."

DETROIT -- Having played together so often, it doesn't take Pavel Datsyuk and Henrik Zetterberg long to mesh.
Their line, which includes Tomas Holmstrom, accounted for two goals Friday as the Detroit Red Wings defeated the Chicago Blackhawks, 3-2, in an exhibition game at Joe Louis Arena.
But the line that impressed Red Wings coach Mike Babcock the most featured three young players who will return to the Grand Rapids Griffins by the end of the preseason.
Cory Emmerton was strong at both ends of the ice, generating some scoring chances, holding onto the puck and doing a good job on the penalty kill. He assisted on a goal by Jan Mursak, who, along with Jordan Owens, used his speed to apply pressure on the Blackhawks defense.
"I thought Cory Emmerton and (Mursak) were fantastic today,'' Babcock said. "Both look like they're going to play and really push our guys, which is a great thing.''
Babcock likened the young forwards to longtime grinders Kris Draper and Kirk Maltby, seeing them as future replacement parts.
"Emmerton has good skill and good vision and sees what's going on out there. And Mursak plays with a lot of speed,'' Babcock said. "They had their team in trouble tonight just with forechecking and pressure.''
Mursak opened the scoring at 2:12 of the first period by firing in the rebound of Emmerton's shot.
"I think Cory Emmerton did a good job shooting for the rebound, and I was in the right place at the right time and put it in,'' Mursak said. "I think we played pretty well together. We were skating good, creating some offense and playing decent in our defensive zone.''
Emmerton said he hasn't played with Mursak and Owens in Grand Rapids but expects they might be on the same line this season.
"Before the game, we talked. We just wanted to play simple, play structured, get pucks on net and be responsible, and I think we used our speed and shot the puck when we had a chance,'' Emmerton said.
"It would be a very good line, (with) a lot of speed, and our chemistry seems to be pretty good. We know where each other is going to go and what they're going to do and what we expect.''

Rising Testosterone Lawsuits Raise Motion to Consolidate
With 50 Testosterone Lawsuits Currently Pending in Federal Courts Against the Manufacturers of Drugs Like AndroGel, Axiron and Testim, A Motion To Consolidate is Expected to Move All Testosterone Lawsuits to The District Court of Louisiana.
(EMAILWIRE.COM, April 23, 2014 ) New York, NY -- Plaintiffs who have filed testosterone lawsuits against the manufacturers of AndroGel and Testim have filed a motion with the U.S. Judicial Panel on Multidistrict Litigation (JPML) seeking the transfer of all federal claims involving low testosterone therapies to the U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Louisiana for coordinated pretrial proceedings. According to the motion, which was filed on April 11, 2014, at least 50 testosterone therapy lawsuits have been filed in federal courts around the country on behalf of men who allegedly suffered heart attacks, strokes and other potentially-deadly heart problems due to their use of these medications, all of which involve common questions of fact and law. In addition to AndroGel and Testim, the motion states that other medications in this class include Axiron, Androderm, Fortesta, Delatestryl, Striant, Depo-Testosterone, and Testopel. (In Re: Testosterone Products Liability Litigation, No. 42, JPML)
Testosterone Lawsuit | Low T Therapy Lawsuit | Heart Attack, Stroke, Cardiovascular Side Effects
AndroGel Lawsuit | AndroGel Testosterone Lawsuit | androgel class action lawsuit
Testosterone Lawsuit | Low T Therapy Lawsuit | Heart Attack, Stroke, Cardiovascular Side Effects
AndroGel Lawsuit | AndroGel Testosterone Lawsuit | androgel class action lawsuit
The firm continues to investigate testosterone lawsuit claims involving AndroGel, Testim, and Axiron and feel that a national consolidation of these cases would benefit everyone involved. The attorneys at Wright & Schulte LLC continue to offer free legal consultations to men who believe they have suffered heart attacked, strokes and other cardiac issues due to Low T treatment drugs by visiting www.yourlegalhelp.com or calling 1-800-399-0795.
Testosterone treatments like AndroGel and Testim have been approved by the U.S. Food & Drug Administration (FDA) to treat hypogonadism (low testosterone) in men who suffer from the condition due to an underlying medical condition. According to the April 11th motion, all of the testosterone treatment lawsuits currently pending in federal courts allege that the manufacturers of these drugs misrepresented that their products are safe and effective treatments for low testosterone, and understated the health hazards and risks associated with their products. The manufacturers of low testosterone therapies are also accused of utilizing aggressive consumer and physician advertising campaigns to drive sales of their products.
In January, Wright & Schulte LLC learned the FDA reported that it was investigating the cardiovascular risks that may be associated with this class of medications after two studies indicated that prescription testosterone therapy might increase the risk of heart attacks, strokes and death in older men or men with pre-existing heart problems. Court documents indicate that the testosterone lawsuits cited in the April 11th motion were all filed in the wake of this announcement.
[fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm383904.htm, January 31, 2014]
On March 28th, plaintiffs in AndroGel lawsuits filed a request with the JPML seeking to have all federal claims alleging heart injuries specific to that drug consolidated in the U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois. According to court documents, the JPML has scheduled Oral Arguments on that matter for May 29, 2014. The Panel has not indicated if it will consider consolidation of testosterone treatment lawsuits involving other medications at that time. (In Re: AndroGel Product Liability Litigation, No. 36, JPML)
Men who used AndroGel, Testim or a similar drug may be eligible to file their own low testosterone therapy lawsuit if they experienced serious and life-threatening cardiovascular events during treatment.

"She was on the police force and was off to the side but I could tell she was a fan," he told PEOPLE Friday. Munley waited quietly until the crowd thinned out and then approached Bentley for a picture, which she posted as her Twitter profile image.
Now, it's the singer who is proud to be pictured with Munley, hailed as a hero after stopping Maj. Nidal Malik Hasan, the alleged the shooter responsible for Thursday's massacre at Ft. Hood Army base, which killed 13 people.
Bentley telephoned Munley, 34, on Friday morning after he learned that she helped fell the gunman and had been wounded in the process.
"I said I was honored to have my picture with her and that my band and I were all thinking of her and praying for the folks on the base. I told her, 'We are all just really thankful to you,' " says Bentley. "She was quiet and she's just humble person and said she was just doing what she does. She would say she's just out there doing her job, but it's a pretty amazing job she did. It's pretty impressive."
Bentley says Munley was in good spirits despite her injuries and the grave nature of the previous day's events. "I can't imagine what that experience was like but she said she's okay," he says. "She said she lost a lot of blood but it sounded like she's on the road to recovery."
Bentley, who plans to return to Ft. Hood to see Munley again, says those on the base are no doubt shaken by the shooting, but will draw on the strength of their close-knit military community.
"God, these families – there is a reason why they call them Army strong. There's strong and then there's Army strong," he says. "They have to deal with their friends, husbands, sons, daughters putting themselves in harm's way far away and now to have that worry in their own community where they should feel they are the safest? But these are the strongest people. It's a really tight-knit group and they lift each other up when they are down."

For the average Catholic, the Year of Faith may not mean much beyond some references from the priest in the pulpit and inserts in the weekly bulletins.
"I think they may be missing something," said Jean Thompson, who works in the Christian Initiation program for the Catholic Diocese of Altoona-Johnstown. They have so many other things going on in their lives that claim their attention, that they could be missing its significance, she said.
Pope Benedict XVI called for the Year of Faith in October 2011 in his "Porta Fidei,'' proclaiming the year would be held from Oct. 11, 2012, to Nov. 24, 2013. It marks the 50th anniversary of Vatican II and the 20th anniversary of the publication of "The Catechism of the Catholic Church,'' according to the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

(Mirror photo by J.D. Cavrich) Marita Forr receives Holy Communion from Father John Slovikovski during a recent noon Mass at the Cathedral of the Blessed Sacrament. Catholics are observing the Year of Faith in tribute to the 50th anniversary of the Second Vatican Council as well as the 20th anniversary of the publication of "The Catechism of the Catholic Church.'' After Vatican II, the Mass was celebrated in English in America and the parishioners were encouraged to have a more active role in the church.
The latter is a collection of the church's beliefs which has been revised over the years.
The last time the Catholic Church celebrated a Year of Faith was more than 50 years ago, when Pope Paul VI called for one to mark the 19th centenary of the martyrdom of SS. Peter and Paul. Its purpose was to honor the two saints 1,900 years after they died for their faith.
Vatican II, which began its first session on Oct. 11, 1962, was a milestone in the church's history. It made sweeping changes in the church, including the way the Mass was conducted. In the United States, the language changed from Latin to English, altars were turned from back to front and people could suddenly see what the priest was doing during the Mass.
Thompson, who grew up in Fall River, Mass., near the Canadian border, said before Vatican II, she heard the priest speak in French when they went to the French-speaking church and other times she heard the priest speaking Latin when the family went to another nearby Catholic church.
But she definitely remembers the Mass changing when she was about 8 years old.
"I was amazed. I understood, and I was glad,'' she said. "Until then my brother, sisters and I read along from our picture missals.''
Thompson assists people who want to join the Catholic Church by preparing them to be baptized, confirmed and receive Holy Eucharist as adults, which she said is done according to decrees that came out of Vatican II.
"The church decided that adults who wanted to be baptized should not be treated as babies," she said.
That's just one of the many changes.
"There was so much that was introduced so quickly,'' she said. "Twenty-five years later the dust was still settling but in the 25 years after that, I think we've become more accepting of the changes.''
Vatican II also had a profound effect on priests. Father Clement Gardner, who is pastor of St. Michael's Church in Hollidaysburg, compared the iconic event to one that ebbs and flows.
"It goes back and forth like a tsunami,'' said Gardner, who added that parishioners have a relationship with the church that either "is in the process of thriving or in the process of declining.''
The changes brought by Vatican II "opened the windows'' in the church that hadn't seen such change since the Protestant Reformation, Gardner said. They included increasing the roles of the laity, especially women and children.
The council also fostered the concept of the church as a community which led to the formation of parish councils, encouraging people to take a greater part in the operation of their parishes, Gardner said.
People were led to participate in the Mass as well, including children. Roles of liturgical ministers, such as readers and cantors, were expanded.
"It used to be the only thing for people to do was pray, pay and obey,'' he said. "I never dreamed I'd see lay people giving out [Holy] Communion.''
Monsignor Michael Becker, who is pastor of St. John the Evangelist Church in Lakemont, said he saw the changes from Vatican II while he was in seminary. He took part in an inter-seminary program, allowing him to take courses at Lutheran and Methodist institutions. This was something hardly ever done before Vatican II, he said.
"But we began to realize that there was certain overlapping, especially in the particular area of Scripture,'' Becker said. "We found out we were looking at the same book.''
That feeling of common ground is seen in another outgrowth of Vatican II. Groups like the Ecumenical Conference of Greater Altoona, which brings together ministers of different Christian traditions to promote fellowship and greater understanding, are a direct result of the council, he said.
Becker believes it's important to reflect on the actions of the council.
"The Year of Faith invites us to tap into and study the documents of Vatican II, revive that spirit of the council that was an opening of the doors to help deepen our own faith,'' he said.
Bishop Mark Bartchak has made it a point to reach out to young people as part of his celebration, said diocesan spokesman Tony DeGol.
In October, the bishop held a social at the Calvin House in Duncansville for ages 18 to 39 from parishes across the diocese. DeGol said the bishop is planning other activities geared to the young adults.
Father John Slovikovski, a priest in residence at the Cathedral, likened the Year of Faith, to a marriage that has lasted for many years.
After being together for several years, a husband and wife tend to get comfortable and may take one another for granted, maybe not listening as well as they should even though they have a loving relationship.
The same is true of the relationship between man and God, and the Year of Faith is a time of renewal for people to reassess their faith relationship with God, Slovikovski said.
He is spearheading activities for the observance.
Activities include a pilgrimage to Rome led by the bishop this summer, a special Eucharistic Adoration the bishop presided at to start the year in October, weekly educational bulletin inserts for all diocesan churches written by Slovikovski and public educational courses.
In his apostolic letter, Benedict said Catholics are called to "an authentic and renewed conversion to the Lord, the one Savior of the world.'' He said they should view this conversion as opening the "door of faith.''
That's why Catholics should get involved with the Year of Faith, Slovikovski said. It's a chance to refresh their walk with God, sort of recharge their spiritual batteries, he said.
"I think the [Catholic] Church is concerned that secularism is creeping into our lives,'' Slovikovski said. "This is a call to come back to a renewed faith. It's an opportunity to recognize that the most important person in your life is Jesus Christ.''

COLUMBUS, Ohio – Taxpayers expecting a refund from the state of Ohio can track the status of their check via a new mobile app launched Monday by the Ohio Department of Taxation.
The app also has links to information on the new individual tax rates and 50-percent deduction for small business income that are new with this year's tax return. Those reductions were included in the state's budget, enacted last year by the Ohio General Assembly.
Other features include contact links that will connect telephone calls to the tax help lines, a general business line and the tax fraud hotline. It also features access to the Taxation Department's Facebook page.
"We plan to add additional modules to the app in the future that will continue to aide in our effort to streamline the state tax system," Ohio Tax Commissioner Joe Testa said in a statement. "We are working to give people maximum access to and control over their tax affairs. Providing mobile interaction is a critical part of this larger project."
Ultimately, the app is expected to help boost staff productivity for the Department of Taxation as it reduces call volume.
It is available free through Apple and Google Play.

Lady Pios slip past Iota
MIDLAND – A four-point first quarter wasn't exactly the start the Notre Dame Lady Pios were hoping for Thursday in their second game of the Midland Holiday Spectacular.
Iota jumped out to an early 10-4 advantage and had the Lady Pios on their heels after the first eight minutes of play.
Thankfully for the Lady Pios, the drought didn't last long.
Notre Dame took a one-point advantage (14-13) at the break and then exploded for 39 points in the second half to pull away for a 43-33 victory over the Lady Dogs.
"We have been scoring a lot of points and for them to hold us down to four points in the first quarter was a little frustrating," said Notre Dame coach Nolan Theriot. "Some of it was them (Iota) but most of it was us with unforced turnovers.
"But we changed up some stuff in the second half, created some mismatches and we executed much better in the last two quarters."
In the second half, Theriot moved guard Alex Miller to the post and Iota countered by doubling her from the corner. That left Madelyn LeJeune wide open and the sophomore made the Lady Dogs pay.
LeJeune hit three 3-pointers and scored 11 points in the third quarter to lead Notre Dame on an 18-7 run, extending the Lady Pios lead to 32-20.
"Moving Alex to the post created some open shots for us and Madelyn knocked them down," said Theriot. "Hats off to here (LeJeune). Just because you're wide open doesn't mean you're going to knock them down, but she did."
Notre Dame's defense was also on point, especially in the second and third quarter.
Iota was able to manage just one bucket in the second frame, a last-second 3-pointer by Paige Soirez, and seven points in the third.
"The second and third quarters were our best, defensively," said Theriot. "We gave up a last-second three in the second, otherwise they go scoreless. And we lost some people in transition in the third quarter. We could have very easily held them scoreless in two quarters. I thought the defense was that good."
To Iota's credit, the Lady Dogs did knock down seven 3-pointers on the night.
Brittany Johnson and Jillian Boone each knocked down a pair of long balls while Soirez, Mallory Faul and Madison Smith each hit one.
Boone led the Lady Dogs with 10 points while Cambri St. Andre had seven. Johnson followed with six points, Faul, Soirez and Smith each had three and Alexis St. Andre had one.
The Lady Pios were paced by LeJeune's 17-point outburst.
Gabbie Romero and Sam Lyons each added six points, Miller had five and Tori Onebane scored three. Katherine Kirsch, Hanna Esthay and Elise LeBeouf rounded out the scoring with two points each.
Lady Rebels rally
past Comeaux
The Midland Lady Rebels overcame and early deficit and outscored Comeaux 22-17 in the second half to walk away with a 45-34 victory over the Lady Spartans Thursday evening.
The Lady Spartans jumped out to a 12-9 lead in the first quarter before Midland rallied to take a 23-17 advantage into the break behind a pair of second quarter 3-pointers from Melody Hebert.
Kristen Breaux took over in the third quarter and poured in eight of her game-high 14 points to help the Lady Rebels push their lead to 36-26.
The Lady Rebels hit just two shots from the floor in the final eight minutes, but sealed the victory by hitting five of their seven free throw attempts in the fourth quarter.
Hebert hit three 3-pointers and finished the night with 11 points. Bethany LeJeune followed with seven points while Brooke Comeaux had five. Kalli Benoit and Katie Woods each scored four.
Comeaux was led by Abbie Guidry with 11 points. Alisha Cretchain and Ashley Buras each had seven.
Rebels cruise
past Notre Dame
The Midland Rebels got off to a quick start and never looked back in a dominating 72-21 victory over the Notre Dame Pioneers.
Midland jumped out to a 25-6 lead in the first quarter and it didn't get any better for the Pios after that.
The Rebels reeled off 24 more points in the second frame before outscoring the Pios 25-10 in the second half.
Jake Gautreaux and Darren Arceneaux led the Rebels with 17 and 16 points, respectively.
Randy Primeaux followed with 12 points, Alan Vondenstein added nine and Devin Gautreaux scored seven. Stephen Primeaux scored six points and Nick Primeaux rounded out the attack with five.
Trey Milstead paced the Pios with 10 points. Hunter Meche added four points while Boedy Borill and Joe Stringfellow each had three. Alex Thomas capped the Pios offense with one point.

WAILUKU - Bail remains at $1 million for a convicted sex offender charged with sexually abusing three children while his girlfriend was their baby sitter.
Lawrence Verzosa, 49, of Kahului also has been on probation since August 2012, when he pleaded no contest to second-degree robbery in connection with a murder-for-hire scheme. He spent nearly six years in jail before being released.
During a hearing Tuesday in 2nd Circuit Court, Verzosa sought a reduction in bail in his current case.
Article Photos
Deputy Public Defender Annalisa Bernard asked that bail be lowered to "standard" amounts of $25,000 to $50,000 for each of the 15 sexual assault counts.
Deputy Prosecutor Kim Whitworth opposed any reduction. "This isn't a standard case," she said.
The children, who are sisters, were ages 7, 8 and 13 when the sexual assaults were committed from January 2013 to January this year, Whitworth said.
She said Verzosa's criminal history includes a third-degree sexual assault conviction in a 1989 case involving a child victim.
"He should not have been around children," Whitworth said. "He's a convicted felon. He is a drug user. He was living in a home with his girlfriend and had access because she was the baby sitter."
Before giving a "full confession" to police, Verzosa made a "disturbing" phone call to the children's father, Whitworth said. In the phone call, she said Verzosa yelled, claimed he didn't commit the crimes and was "calling out" the father.
Whitworth said the $1 million bail was appropriate for Verzosa, "who is a convicted child molester, who continued to molest children, who put himself in a position where he could have daily and nightly contact with these children."
She said Verzosa also is a methamphetamine user who had done poorly on probation.
Judge Peter Cahill kept bail at $1 million for Verzosa.
Cahill noted that Verzosa could face revocation of his probation on the robbery charge.
He had been among three people arrested after a Lahaina man reported being handcuffed and forced into a car in West Maui, then driven through Kahakuloa to Kahului, where he was beaten Nov. 9, 2006.
The victim was released after promising to pay $100,000 to Ronald Bonilla Sr., who was identified as having assaulted the victim along with Verzosa. A police investigation showed that Lahaina resident Aniano Yabo had offered to pay $3,350 to Bonilla and Verzosa if they would beat and kill the victim because he was involved with Yabo's wife.
A July 7 trial is set for Verzosa in the sexual assault case. He has pleaded not guilty to 12 counts of first-degree sexual assault, one count of attempted first-degree sexual assault and two counts of third-degree sexual assault.
Verzosa is being held at the Maui Community Correctional Center.

Hi I am Lina, I am in a very unusual situation.I was with a guy for 10 years and sept 2011 my whole world broke.....I found out he got married behind my back.....he confessed and wanted to be with me so I gave him a chance then after getting an apt with me he confessed to her and told me he didn't want me and wanted to go back with her.Few days later he wanted me back again and didn't want her.Then we were happy and I got pregnant and after that he was cold and wanted her back again.Then he told me he didn't love me and wanted to back with her.i was so emotional and heart broken.it was like a stab in my heart.if he didn't want me he should have told me long
ago.so I packed my stuff and left since he didn't want
to give me the apt.he also asked me to have an
abortion...I was confused because I really thought he
wanted to have children with me since we talked about
it.Now he wants his lil girl and want to be part of her
life in every way and he said sorry for what he asked
me. telling me for two month that he wanted to be her
and now he tells me I don't have to worry about him
talking to her anymore or he won't be with anyone but
he doesn't want to be back with me either.....he said
there is a possibility of us working things out in the
future if we get along.After I found his deception in sept we fought so much....I asked him when he thinks of me what does he think of?he said fighting arguing.....throughout our relationship we always used to have great time together....I mean it was getting
very bad because I couldn't trust him and he said he knows if he stays this is how it will be.....fighting and aeguing......we fought cause I wanted him to correct the situation.....Anyways we hung out few times(not
sex at all,he won't take advantage of me)he told me to
relax since he won't be with anyone and will be there
for me.I am confused and don't know what to do....I
love him very much

Hi there,
I'm happy to help with your question. It's really not an easy question to answer, however, because you have a pretty tumultuous - and lengthy - history with this guy. It sounds like he's been hot and cold and back and forth and hasn't been able to figure out who he wants to be with or even what he wants out of a relationship. I understand that you've had happy periods, but it sounds like the pain that inevitably follows each happy period has been devastating for you. And especially in terms of your daughter - it must be confusing for her if he hasn't been a part of her life up until this point, and then suddenly decides that he wants in. And I imagine that it's extremely confusing for you.
It seems like he's trying to reassure you that he's going to stick around and not become involved with anyone else this time - but I have to say that I am wondering if that is just part of the pattern. He could be genuine, of course, and he could really mean what he is saying. If he says he thinks of arguing and fighting when he thinks of your relationship, then it's not a very positive sign. I don't mean to be all doom and gloom here, because you could certainly take it slow with him and give him the benefit of the doubt, but you have to tread very carefully because you don't want to get hurt again, and you don't want your daughter to be hurt, either. Just ask yourself if it's worth it - if it's worth trying again, knowing that he has a history of hurting you and betraying you - especially since it wasn't just your garden-variety betrayal, he actually got married behind your back, which to me, is a very big indicator of the fact that he's probably just trying to get back together with you because you always take him back, until he finds someone he thinks is "better." In my opinion (and you can take it or leave it, of course, and decide for yourself), you would be better off with someone who is going to be consistent from the get-go and isn't going to treat you like someone he can leave when he feels like it.
I know it's hard, and I know this might not be what you're wanting to hear, because I understand that you do love him - but, as cliche as it sounds, sometimes love is not enough to make a relationship work. It also takes trust, intimacy and commitment, and I find myself wondering if he is truly capable of this. If you do decide to give it a go with him, then I would suggest that you engage in couples counseling. Ask him if he would be willing to see a counselor with you - if he says no, then I wouldn't re-engage in the relationship at all. If he says yes, then at least that is some indication that he's willing to work on the relationship and put in the effort to make things work between you.
I hope that helps and I wish you luck. Please let me know if you have any additional questions.

British Ort is to expand its Jump mentoring programme for senior students at Jewish high schools following a successful inaugural year.
Fifty teenagers were assigned mentors with expertise in professions as wide-ranging as policing and law, midwifery and music production.
JFS pupil Julia Sidon, 16, received a £150 shopping voucher for the best diary of a mentoring experience - she was helped by dentist Suzanne Barnett.
Julia praised her "amazing" mentor. "Whenever I had questions she was there for me. She found work experience for me with a periodontist."
Hasomean Girls' School pupils were also involved in the scheme, incorporating sessions with a mentor, a workplace tour and advice on CV preparation.
Jump founder and director Julia Alberga said the project was more than a means of offering career insights.
"It is also seen as Jewish corporate social responsibility, a way for individuals to give back to the community by giving their time to Jewish students. I've had letters from parents saying how great it was and emails from happy students so there is obvious potential for this to grow." Jump's expansion is being aided by a £15,000 donation from the Childwick Trust.
