When doctors diagnosed Kieran Rege with autism at age 4, they painted a bleak portrait of his future.
"We were told he's not going to get married. He will probably not have friends. He will always need additional support," said Kieran's mother, Jill Rege, of Palo Alto.
Undaunted, she and her husband tried every treatment they could find. Today, at age 15, Kieran has friends, is active in theater at Menlo Park's Mid-Peninsula High School and takes Caltrain by himself to school. And he no longer is diagnosed with a disorder once thought to last a lifetime.
Anecdotal reports of children like Kieran recovering from autism have been around for decades, even as autism diagnoses continue to rise. But a new clinical study from the University of Connecticut has removed much of the doubt that recovery from the affliction is a real phenomenon.
"This study will help researchers believe reports of families and clinicians who say that their child has recovered from autism," said psychologist Grace Gengoux, an autism specialist in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University.
Still, the University of Connecticut researchers say it remains a mystery why certain children recover and what treatments cured them.
Kieran's parents say their son began displaying many of the classic signs of autism at age 2. He had no social interaction and little meaningful speech. He was running in circles and walking on his toes.
Because Kieran was more affectionate than most autistic children, his doctors did not diagnose him right away. But when he was 31/2, even before he was formally diagnosed, Kieran's parents began trying everything from scientifically documented treatments -- including speech therapy and intensive therapy aimed at extinguishing certain behaviors -- to unproven treatments such as vitamin B-12 shots and gluten- and casein-free diets.
"I was willing to crawl through glass for a 1 percent improvement," his mother said.
Within two years, she said, things started to turn around. "It wasn't rapid. It was hard work. It was expensive. But in our case, it paid off."
Kieran's IQ, first tested at age 4, jumped from 80 to 130 by age 8. The median IQ for the general population is 100.
His father, Ojas Rege, held guarded optimism during Kieran's long recovery. "You don't know if those signs you're seeing are just something temporary," he said.
The moment he first truly knew his son's recovery was real came when Kieran starred in a sixth-grade school play about the Dalai Lama. "Just six years before, I didn't know if my son would ever talk," he said. "At that point I thought, 'If he can come this far, we can give him his life back.'"
Kieran's parents say his special diet, medical interventions to support his immune system and occupational and speech therapy were the most effective treatments. And they talk openly with him about his journey from autistic child to the sociable, confident teenager he is today.
Kieran, who has two brothers, preferred not to be interviewed for this story. But according to Jill Rege, he embraces his journey and "thinks it's important to let people know that kids can recover."
There are no solid numbers showing what percentage of children diagnosed with autism eventually lose that diagnosis. But the idea that autistic children could recover began to gain traction in 1987 when UCLA psychology professor Ivar Lovaas said he saw a 47 percent recovery rate using intensive behavioral therapy. Many researchers, however, questioned whether some of the children in that and other studies truly had autism in the first place.
The new study, published in the Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, has put these questions to rest, autism experts say.
For the study, a team of psychiatrists led by Deborah Fein of the University of Connecticut recruited 34 people who had been diagnosed before age 5 and had since lost their diagnosis according to the team's extensive interviews and behavioral observations. The team also solicited independent verification of the children's initial diagnoses.
Fein is quick to caution that the overwhelming majority of children with autism will not recover. "I've seen hundreds and hundreds of kids who got great therapy and excellent parenting," she said. "They all made progress, but very few of them reached that stage."
In general, she added, "it's very hard to predict who is going to respond rapidly to intervention."
Another unknown is how recovery comes about. Most families try several therapies, often several at once, making it difficult to tease out which are most important for producing optimal outcomes.
Like the Reges, Kim Rice, of Pleasanton, tried almost every intervention offered to her son Sammy, who at age 2 was diagnosed with a mild form of autism.
Rice began immediately with the interventions recommended by Sammy's doctors, including behavioral, speech and occupational therapy. But when Rice heard of the potential link between autism and digestive disorders, she systematically removed foods from his diet to assess their effect on his health.
Rice found that Sammy kept improving the more she eliminated sugar and gluten from his meals. And within six months, Sammy's therapists said he was hard to distinguish from a typical child.
Now 61/2, Sammy is in a mainstream class without an aide. He plays soccer, chess, tennis and piano.
Both Rice and Rege stressed the importance of pushing hard with all of the treatment tools available.
"It's like a symphony," Rege said. "You can't take any one piece out and have it work the same."

'"It was a lot of stuff [in the past 19 months]. After the surgery you just want to survive. You just want to be a normal parent for your kids, just be a normal street guy, regular parent, not be a professional athlete. I wasn't even thinking about that. That came later when I realized I could be a normal parent and just do the normal things with the family, just everyday routines. This has just been extra for myself, and I'm really thankful for that. To be back and playing professionally, it's just unbelievable."'

Transaction Analysis
Revere Rides Into Philly
Acquired RHPs Vance Worley and Trevor May from the Phillies for OF-L Ben Revere. [12/6]
Worley is the non-prospect portion of the Twins' return on Revere. The bespectacled right-hander popped up on radars after holding a 2.86 ERA through his first 144 2/3 big-league innings. Last season, however, was less kind to Worley. Bone chips and a bone spur in his throwing elbow twice forced him onto the disabled list, and he missed from September onward thanks to surgery. When Worley pitches, he does so from a downhill angle. His velocity is nothing special, but his fastball features solid movement, and he backs it up with a slider; he'll also throw a curveball and change-up on occasion. Worley is a solid fourth starter with years of cost and team control remaining. If nothing else, he beats Joe Blanton on a two-year deal. —R.J. Anderson
After acquiring Alex Meyer in a previous trade with the Nationals, the Twins continued their trend of adding more powerful arms by picking up right-hander Trevor May from Philadelphia. A fourth-round pick of the Phillies in 2008, May has moved through the minor leagues at a more traditional pace, including a repeat of High-A in 2011 before moving on to Double-A in 2012.
May has a serious physical presence, standing 6-foot-5 and checking in at almost 220 pounds. He uses his large frame and long levers to create good angle to the plate, helping make his 92-94 mph fastball even more difficult to square up. He has reached 96 mph on occasion, and he could flash that type of velocity more frequently in shorter stints. May's curveball has true plus potential with hard 12-6 break and surprising velocity, sitting in the upper-70s. May's change-up remains a distant third pitch and still rates as decidedly below average.
Even with two high-end pitches, May is held back by his delivery. While he has smoothed things out some, his mechanics remain inconsistent and incorporate a lot of effort to generate his power. As a result, his command and control are both well below-average and really haven't made any strides in the last couple of seasons. May has the arsenal to start, but his delivery may work better in relief where he can air it out and not have as much pressure to throw refined strikes. As a starter, he will likely require the entire 2013 season to polish his game (and possibly more), but as a reliever, he could reach the big leagues next year. —Mark Anderson
Agreed with OF-R Reed Johnson on a one-year contract [12/6]
Let's start with the things I know, or think I know, about Reed Johnson. I haven't opened his player page yet.
Time to check! ... Johnson was actually a full-time player for the Blue Jays from 2004 to 2006, so I was way off on #3, but as to the rest, hey, I'm good. If you check out the current projected roster for Atlanta, you see that the bench outfielders are ... well, the inimitable Jason Martinez actually updated the roster while I was writing this. But before he did that, the bench outfielders were Jose "Real But Not Exactly Spectacular" Constanza and Jordan Schafer, both of whom are left-handed. Johnson's 2013 PECOTA projection (.250 True Average) does not far outstrip Constanza's (.247), but his career line of .311/.367/.461 against lefties is helpful and Schafer cannot hit at all. Like not even a little bit. Johnson has also continued to play a little center field even into his mid-30s. There's no obvious platoon in the offing, as the Braves currently feature two righties (B.J. Upton, Martin Prado) and one superstar (Jason Heyward) in the outfield, but in scrounging for a true fourth outfielder and late-game option against lefties, teams can and do find a lot worse options than Johnson. —Jason Wojciechowski
Acquired OF-L Ben Revere from the Twins for RHPs Vance Worley and Trevor May. [12/6]
Everyone knew entering the offseason that the Phillies would need a new center fielder. Michael Bourn seemed like the pick to click, yet Ruben Amaro resisted the temptation to add another older player to his club and instead grabbed Revere.
The 24-year-old Revere shifts to center field after playing the corners for Minnesota out of deference to Denard Span. While his plus-plus speed should allow him to cover the necessary ground, his well below average arm could be an issue. Likewise, Revere is reliant on maintaining a good batting average because of his lagging secondary skills. He makes a lot of contact—often beating the ball into the dirt—but his swing mechanics feature a lot of hand movement before and during the load. Revere is also good at swiping bases and advancing the run of play, which boosts his offensive stock.
Revere's skills add up to a decent player. He won't make an All-Star team at his best, and he might be better suited as a fourth outfielder if his secondary skills fail to develop. He is, however, the rare Phillies acquisition without a large price tag. With another cost-controlled year and five more team-controlled years remaining, Revere is a budget-friendly addition. Is Amaro becoming financially conscious on us, or is he just saving the dough for something bigger? —R.J. Anderson

So who plays outfield for the Twins now?
Dec 06, 2012 13:10 PM
I would have traded Revere for either May or Worley. I think the Twins did very well for themselves.
Dec 06, 2012 16:30 PM
Where is Dominic Brown? Has he fallen that far? Cause if he has, I'd like to trade for him. I thought the best thing he did was play CF. I'm only concerned because I've not seen him mentioned in any analysis of this deal.
Dec 06, 2012 17:14 PM
I don't see how this deal helps the Phillies at all. From BP's analysis of Revere, it seems all they've gotten is a younger, cheaper Bourn or Juan Pierre. While no world-beater, Worley seemed like a good solid back-of-the-rotation guy. And though I don't know a whole lot about Trevor May, I do know off goes another prospect for little in return. I guess this story is to be continued, or is Ruben really prepared to head into 2013 with an outfield contingent of Mayberry, Revere, D. Brown, and L. Nix? Is there someone I'm forgetting - D. Ruf?

ETERNITY WARRIORS 2.0 UPDATE: This update introduces players to a new environment called the Dragon's Lair. There, players can fight against massive dragons from a third-person view, instead of EW2's standard top-down view. In addition, the update also includes a renewed point system and worldwide leaderboards, increased number of levels, new achievements and quests and brand-new weaponry.
Northern Udar is Eternity Warrior's motherland. Demons have been trying to dominate it for over a century. They're trying it once again buidling Demon Towers to ensure their power. Your mission is to keep them away from Udar by destroying that Demon Towers. You'll have to wander through creepy dungeon while diminishing demons' power.
Eternity Warriors looks is one of those games that reminds Diablo saga. Point of view and gameplay is similar: clear all the demons on each level, grab magic items and upgrade your character after levelling up. Actually, you need to upgrade your skills to unleash your true power. Obviously, that upgrades have a price: silver or gold coins that you earn while playing. If you run out of money you can buy credits (in-app purchase).
There are two game modes: single player mode and online co-op multiplayer. You can create a room or join fellow warrior: there are more Eternity Warriors around the World.
3D graphics are stunning and, surprisingly it doesn't affect performance: we haven't noticed any lag playing it on a medium-end device. Controls are intuitive: screenpad with a joystick on the left and attack buttons on the right side.
In summary, stunning graphics, good performance highly playable, upgrade system and online co-op multiplayer game. What else did you expect? Must-have.

Monroe, La's Ouachita Parish High School played host to
North Louisiana's biggest 5A game of the 2010 season, as undefeated West Monroe
took on the Ouachita Lions. History was on the Rebel's side, as they had
rattled off 15 straight wins over the Lions, and West Monroe had not lost since
a first round play off loss in 2008, 20 straight games.
West Monroe received to start the game, but would turn the
ball over on the second play from scrimmage, as Chad Ellis would recover for the
Lions. The Ouachita offense would stall on the ensuing possession, punting to
the Rebel 18 yard line.
3-Star LSU commitment
Paul Turner would go to work for West Monroe as he led an eight play drive
to the Lion 27 yard line. The drive would stall, but Dan Mabry would connect on
a 37 yard field goal, putting the visiting Rebels up 3-0. West Monroe would
never trail as they rolled on to a 6-0 record, 2-0 in district play with a 45-13
"I thought the first half, we were just about perfect,"
West Monroe Head Coach said. "I think defensively we played the best we have
all year."
Turner was the offensive difference for the Rebels in the
game, as he help build a 31-0 half time lead. Turner connected receiver Cody
Stone enroute to a 30-yard scramble in the first half. When not passing to
Stone, Turner was connecting with running back
Tyler Cain, who also got into the end zone in the first half with a two yard
Ouachita came out swinging in the second half though, as
Quentin Wheeler connected with
Tiajuan Thomas for a 59 yard pass play to open the second half. Wheeler
would then hit 3-star receiver
Justin Ginyard for a 20 yard TD reception, the PAT was no good. Ginyard was
the leading receiver for the Lions, as he hauled in five passes for 54 yards.
Tempers would briefly flare late in the game, but Cain
continued to pound out yards on the ground. He would collect his second score
of the game on an eight yard scamper to push the West Monroe lead to 38-6. Cain
ended the night with three receptions for 45 yards, and ran for 48 yards,
scoring both ways.
Wheeler would answer again on the next possession, as he
again connected with Thomas for a 33 yard score. Wheeler would end the night
with 179 yards on 12-29 passing with a pair of interceptions.
Impressive Play - West Monroe Athlete Paul Turner -
The LSU commit is a solid player, and is exciting to watch. He running ability
leaves fans in awe and defenders diving at air.

One of the season's darker horses for top honours gets his campaign under way as Festival Theatre makes his seasonal reappearance in the Follow BetVictorRacing On Twitter Handicap at Kempton.
Sir Michael Stoute's impeccably-bred colt was seen just twice last year, finishing mid-division on his debut in a Salisbury maiden before doing really well to win in a similar event at this track.
Both times he was racing over seven furlongs, and it is very much to his credit that he could win at that trip as he is bred to appreciate much further, as many Ballymacoll Stud-owned horses are.
He should be seen to really good effect now he tries a mile and a half, in a race that has only attracted four runners but will give connections a good idea of where they are as all are last-time-out winners.
Entered in the Dante and the Derby, he has a mark of 85 for his handicap debut and there will be long faces if he does not prove to be a good deal better than that in time.
Majestic Sun is quite interesting in the Download The BetVictor App Now Handicap.
Not seen on the track until September, there was a fair bit to like about the King's Best colt's fourth to Cordite at Leicester in October, with that horse showing the form in a really good light when occupying the same position behind the ill-fated Piping Rock in the Horris Hill at Newbury.
Sent handicapping for the first time and stepping up a furlong in trip, there looks to be more to come from Peter Chapple-Hyam's charge.
Perfect Alchemy has shown a liking for this surface and that can be a deciding factor in the Interactive Fillies' Handicap, where some sort of case can be made for all six runners.
The daughter of Clodovil showed a reasonable level of ability in two maidens at Windsor and Newmarket, and built on those placed efforts when staying on best of all to take top honours in September.
That race has worked out well enough, throwing up a couple of winners from in behind, and Ralph Beckett's string are going well.
There is every chance of Time Square running another good race in the Download The BetVictor Instabet App Handicap.
Tony Carroll's seven-year-old ran really well on the opening day of the Flat turf season at Doncaster, plugging on to take third having attempted to make all.
All three of this British successes have come at Kempton, so a switch to the Sunbury Polytrack is a positive and he won off this mark here in June last year.
Saint Jerome is turning into a very capable juvenile and ought to take some stopping in the Ludlow Racing Partnership Novices' Hurdle.
Successful already at this track when triumphing in November, the Jamie Osborne-trained youngster produced a startling performance to score at Warwick subsequently after a run in between on the all-weather at Kempton.
Soon in the clear, he opened up a huge advantage at one stage and kept going to dot up by six lengths.
With just three runs to his name over obstacles, he is pretty unexposed just yet and hard to oppose in what looks an ordinary event.
There is another race in Tuskar Rock at some point and the Follow totepool On Facebook And Twitter Handicap Chase at Taunton might be it.
His overall profile suggests he is a bit in and out, but he is capable on his day and off a mark some 9lb lower than his last winning one, he is going to pop up very soon.
Thinger Licht can gain solace following a narrow defeat at Towcester when he returns to the Northamptonshire circuit for the Haygain Hay Steamers Clean Healthy Forage Conditional Jockeys' Handicap Hurdle.

Guest commentary by Beatrice Russo
An e-mail interchange with my friend Patrizia in Florence, Italy (yes I changed her name and asked her if it was OK) . I'm doing this as a favor to the sick old man, he looks pretty craggy. I really need to be looking for different work, I can't spend another summer in a steak house - BR
Dear Bea,
E-mailing to you because I cannot communicate here with anyone approximately this. But because you come from my generation, that what they call Gen-Y or the Millennials, I think that you will understand. And because your crazy uncle is in the Italian commerce of the wine and is here in Italy also that he works for our crazy men, perhaps can resolve this problem.
You know I live to Firenze and I work in the district of Chianti Classico. You know the wine cellar. And it is good because the laborers think there in the important things that they are like me. Things like organic and sostenibile and not using more fuel. Therefore, when I say to my boss, that he comes from that first generation, called X, approximately wishing to work from my home two days a week, he asks to me because? I say because we are connected with the Internet and to obtain within and outside from Firenze is therefore difficult and wish to use my time and energy more efficiently. He says, as I know you so little, how would I know you would not be in a café in some place or surfing the Internet?
That generation of X has been developed in not trusting of anyone? I say that, Y follows the X but I do not wish to follow this generation. Oh yes, they make a big display, what we call a bella figura, about their title and their position and their wealth when they have it. Even if they would only inherit them. And they are all Dottore, a country has filled up of pigro Dottore's! Which thing are they called, Yes-men? Minchia, therefore I am so angry, my Sicilian grandmother is bubbling in the inner part of me.
Therefore the result is, because this Dottore does not trust me to working away from the center two days, I cannot. Now he cannot dismiss me, but he can pay to me wages so small that I must amuse myself to make one life. And the rents of the apartment to Firenze are like Saint Francisco in which my sister lives. Therefore it is much expensive living here on a 1200 Euro month.
You think I could communicate with an American company to be their representative here? Perhaps the managing of relationships with Italian wine companies? Am I totally lost? I watch the heads of this so-noted generation X and feel frightened and angry and helpless. And, they, behaving like a crosspiece between Berlusconi and the mother Teresa, touching nothing therefore cannot be culpable of anything. But taking credit for anything that people below them do well, and they do that all the time!
Is this like that in America? Is this generation already worse than the famous flower-child boomers? I think so; at least the flower-child-boomers came to Firenze during the floods in 1966, and cleaned up the city for months, asking for nothing.
Today, if you asked my manager to make something similar, he would transmit an email to the office of the agricultural department in order to go to Firenze. And then in order to put himself in a good light he would present an official press release, talking about how great his leadership is for Toscany and Italy. I am not kidding!
I'm sorry Bea, but we are friends and I want to ask you how in your country it works with these X-men.
(Sorry for my English:)
Your friend,
Dear Patrizia,
I cannot say from experience because I barely have enough work to afford to live on my own. I do not have health insurance. Because I was orphaned, I have some benefits. But until I finish college, and I'm not sure I will, I cannot get work in the wine industry of the uncle, as you call him. He is a "flower-child-boomer" (I love that, where did you come up with that?), and quite harmless, and we talk about the generation between us, from time to time. He doesn't get them, I don't get them, I really see no reason for their existence, so many of them are just grown-up slackers; I just don't want to work under them.
They say they don't want controversy, they say they want everyone to speak in normal tones, conform to a standard. But 5 o'clock comes and they are gone sailing. Try to reach them before 9 o'clock in the morning or during the weekends, and forget it. I am so ready for their sun to set. And it will, sooner than they think.
On another subject, so what kind of wine have you been tasting lately? I recently bagged a few half-chewed bottles of wine over at uncle's house, from a very delicious California winery called Four Vines. The old Italian wine guy was going off on these wines, really got his head spinning, like he was 20 again and driving up the California coastline in his funky old Fiat (no offense).
I tasted two I thought were pretty awesome, one was called Anarchy (of course), some old vine Zinfandel, Syrah and Mourvedre blend that I had with some Satay. I was in heaven. The other wine was also red, called the Heretic, a Petite Sirah that reminded me of that Maremma wine we were talking about from your friend Francesca's winery.
Look, get a visa and we'll invade uncle's house and his wine cellar. His son is around and has a group of interesting friends. Uncle says the X-generation reminds him of a 5 year-old Beaujolais wine, old before it's time. I think he's frustrated with them too. Maybe we can talk him into liberating a small company and we all can run it. Into the ground, ha-ha! You should come here if it gets too depressing in Italy, there's room for another smart, beautiful Italian woman.
(p.s. don't worry 'bout your english, my italian's not so good either :)
Dear Bea,
Oh, you crazy American girl. Thanks, I have needed to communicate it with someone without telling to so many other people around. I know it would be safe turning to you. Maybe I will come, maybe I should! Find us two ripe boys and I will be there even sooner.
I have tasted a wine that is turning around lately in the wine bars here in Firenze. One wine bar is called I Fratellini. It is one appreciated very because they carry this wine from the country that I only see in the laboratory. They call it Grand Noir and the pulp of the grape is dark ; it is violet and very colorful. It reminds me of a wine as Barbera or a Gigondas (my aunt comes from Avignon) and it is a lot interesting. I have an image but the label is much disgustosa and messy. That is my one divertimento.
Well I must get back to work; here comes "Il Duce" looking over my shoulder.

LONG BEACH, Calif. - After spending the first two days of the first of three
open periods on the East Coast at the Reebok Breakout Challenge, Rivals.com
moved on to the opposite side of the country to check in on West Coast talent.
The first stop on the agenda was the Pangos Sweet 16 at Cabrillo High in Long
Beach. 2014 big man Andre Adams made a splash as did the West's top prospect in
that class, Malik Pope.
Arizona big man
shows promise
During his sophomore year at Avondale (Ariz.) High, 6-foot-8 big man
Andre Adams wasn't a huge factor. But, young post players often take a little
more time to develop. Given his play with the Arizona Magic Elite's 16 and under
team at the sweet 16, Adams looks to be kicking that development into overdrive.
A skinny kid who only weighs 190 pounds, Adams is a southpaw with impressive
natural instincts on the glass and as a shot blocker. He's got length, good
timing and he changes directions very well. On top of that, he plays with a high
level motor.
Offensively, Adams is relatively raw. However, he shows good touch out to around
15 feet, made an impressive baseline drive for a dunk while also whipping some
sharp one handed passes out of the high post.
On Friday night, Adams was watched primarily by mid to upper end mid major
programs but his coaches report that most of the Pac-12 has indicated that they
will watch him. Judging by what Adams did, he looks to be a no brainer for high
major programs to be monitoring as he matures. Especially since Adams told
Rivals.com that he's grown five inches in the last year.
"On defense I'm a lot better," said Adams of his improvement. "I have to get
more strength and be more comfortable on offense.
Pope shines
A five-star prospect that currently ranks No. 14 in the class of 2014,
Malik Pope played up to his lofty reputation on Friday night. Hitting the floor
with Team Superstar, the 6-foot-8 small forward displayed a high level of skill,
athleticism and potential in front of a big crowd of coaches.
Among the mostly West Coast based programs on hand to watch Pope were
Colorado (head coach
Arizona, Arizona State, USC, Utah,
Gonzaga, San Diego State, New Mexico and many more.
They could often be seen shaking their heads after Pope made plays.
With the height of a power forward prospect, Pope is a long and lean wing with
legitimate perimeter skill. He's a dangerous shooter out to the three point line
and gets anywhere he needs to be on the floor within one or two dribbles. He's
quick, he can pass, he can finish in transition and he plays hard on both ends
of the floor.
Given that he won't turn 16 until the end of the month, he sometimes forces
things and makes silly mistakes. But, there's a good chance that he's still got
even more growing left to do. There are some good young wings on the West Coast,
but Pope is firmly establishing himself as the best prospect in his neck of the
woods from the class of 2014.
Quick hitters
the Elite 100 in June, 6-foot-4 wing Dorian Pickens impressed with his
balanced game and perimeter marksmanship. Playing with the Arizona Stars,
Pickens was knocking down shots again and looks to be a pure jump shooter. He
has a frame that will fill out and the athleticism to finish in traffic.
Also impressing for the Arizona stars was rising senior wing
Richaud Gittens from Tempe (Ariz.) Marcos De Niza. A 6-foot-4 wing, Gittens is a
big time athlete with major rise and a good first step. His jump shot doesn't
look to bad either and his coaches reported that he's being tracked by mid
majors and that Weber State has been particularly active with him.
The Las Vegas Prospects 17 and under squad put on an exhibition of running and
gunning late Friday night at Cabrillo. A team with athleticism at positions one
through five, the Prospects played high octane basketball
Utah commitment
Julian Jacobs is a combo guard with explosive
finishing ability at the rim and he's capable of forcing some tempo. On the
wing, UNLV commitment
Christian Wood continued a big summer.
He's been canning deep jumpers at stops all over but was using his length to get
on the glass and finishing at the rim with authority more than usual.
On the Prospects 16 and under squad, Shaquile Carr is a pure point
guard. The six-footer looks to break down defenders off the dribble, plays fast
and is all about finding his teammates for open shots.
Pope isn't the only prospect on Team Superstar. They actually have several
good looking young players. One that was particularly intriguing on Friday was
class of 2015 point guard
Austin Armstead. Armstead is big, physical,
athletic and seems to have good command of an offense.
A nice find on Friday night was 6-foot-5 wing
Nick Hornsby. Playing
for Team Mercadel, the product of Tustin (Calif.) High impressed in several
ways. A skinny athlete, Hornsby has a good skill level, shoots with good range
and has some athleticism around the rim. At a minimum, he's a good mid-major
prospect but with added strength and a little more game off the dribble, he
could have more upside than that.

Seems like they're teaming up with Gearbox for this upcoming title! What do you guys think?
Your loss, it's a great series and it's great to see TellTale teaming up with Gearbox to expand it.
I'll say what I said on the other forum, this game was confirmed to be a telltale style game with everything that made us love TWD. Not saying it WILL be great, but in such a cool world as Borderlands, it has a possibility.
I guess they should focus on the walking dead and the wolf among us and finish them off before working on any other games .
I agree! Working simultaneously in two games is hard. They should focus on the TWD and TWAU first.
Something came up to my mind, what if the episode 2 of TWD S2 will be delayed because of Borderlands game? They completely disregard their 4-6 weeks duration of releasing episodes. :P
Guys do you really think that they will work on Borderlands or game of thrones before both TWAU and TWD 2S are finished completely? They wouldn't lets give telltale some credit that being said I can not wait until tales from borderlands (could care less about the game of thrones game)
I can almost promise everyone here that we will conclude TWAU and TWD S2 before publishing either of the new titles. We here at TTG want to give you the best gaming experience possible. Also check out the FAQ Borderlands page for the answer to this question as well.
If an OFFICIAL FAQ already exists, where exactly is it?! Can't find it on Telltale's Borderlands page...
Well of course they do, they are a business but maybe they just like the idea of trying new things too. Borderlands is a first person shooter, right? Im not sure how that would work with their style but I'm interested to see it.
the same way twd/twau/bttf worked ?
i suppose since borderlands has such great funny cutscenes this game will be like them but interactive..
also why are people assuming ttg are going to do this as well as twd/twau ? SURELY they will wait till after these two are done ?
How would the shooting mechanism work? Ive only seen it in The Walking Dead and that was really basic. I played the first Borderlands and there's a lot of shooting in it. Thats what I mean.
really basic but it worked
so they can either keep it simple and hence more fun to play or make it a little more precise and add some more details/huds, assuming we have control over shooting again, though maybe ttg plan on limiting the shooting to on the rails/actual cutscenes and merely give us a twau style select option the gun to be used and of the target to aim at.
a mix of that would work for me, although i can hear/see/read people complaining about the shooting aspect already on facebook pages...
Because they have already been working on it and they revealed in the trailer that it's coming out in 2014.
but as you say in other comments it's a different team who build the basics/engine, but the main work force will be on twd/twau/ or even got..
as for the date...well... that's an estimate.... and ttg make very vague estimates don't they....
Easy, it was already explained in the trailer that the protagonist in Tales from the Borderlands isn't a Vault Hunter, which obviously means they won't use guns as much as the Vault Hunters from Borderlands 1 &2.
Yeah, it does kinda feel that way to me too.
Borderlands and Game of Thrones just says 'MEGA BUCKS'!
In my mind, the scales of 'best game experience' and 'profit' are starting to wobble with inbalance.
With all the possibilities out there, was Game of Thrones and Tales from the Borderlands really the best two options?
Back to the Future and Jurassic Park. Both announced by Telltale at the same time. Both licensed properties.
This started before The Walking Dead and The Wolf Among Us.
No one expected Telltale to take on The Walking Dead. Game and Thrones and Borderlands both make sense. Especially Borderlands, considering the art style that Telltale took with The Walking Dead was remarkably similar to Borderlands.
They aren't going to make Tales from the Borderlands all action, I don't think they'll include any sort of free-shooting mechanic at all. It'll probably be very much a game based on dialogue and choices.
I would love to see games for a lot of popular TV shows. Breaking Bad and Person of Interest would be interesting. I would also love to see Telltale try to work on an original property as well, maybe creating their own superhero? An under-dog? Hell, it would be slightly interesting to see something based off of Kick-Ass (I've only seen the first movie though).
In any case, I think Game of Thrones and Borderlands are great choices for Telltale to work on.
I guess they should focus on the walking dead and the wolf among us and finish them off before working on any other games .
Before this is going anywhere - they've hardly done any work on the Borderlands game. This is in its very preliminary stages. And I'd rather guess "2014" means "late 2014". TWaU as well as TWD will likely be finished even before more significant info will be released. Thinking about the next step is very important in episodic gaming. They can't wait with this kind of announcement until mid next year, they HAVE to start the hype even though they haven't got much to show right now.
Thank you for clarifying, it's hissy fits galore around here... even more than usual that is.
I never completed the game but i'll only really care if it they make it at the same time of TWAU and TWD2 - that would annoy me so much
I think the divided reaction I'm seeing to this news is proof of a growing split in how people are feeling about Telltale lately :-S
Loving everything someone does blindly is plain weird. Sometimes you have to step back and see it for what it is.
I have no doubt in Telltale's ability to make an awesome game. I trust in that and you should too, it will be okay ;-)
Handsome Jack? So I take it this game will be somewhere inside the Borderlands 2 story...shame was hoping for something in another part of the time line separate from the main games. Well at least we get to see Borderlands 2 from a different perspective.
Or a prequel.
And why would you want it in another time line/ The fun is interacting with the Borderlands characters.
personally I think that they need to focus on one (or two) games at a time. I think that by doing this project they will take too much time making multiple video games at once. Don't expect TWD S2 Ep. 2 too come out anytime soon if this game comes along in 2014.
Well your wrong, since this will obviously come after TWD s2. It also has a different team working on it, so it doesn't really affect TWD.
You also seem to forget that video game companies work multiple games all the time and different dev teams on each.
You are both wrong
This is still very early on. a trailer dont mean jack (handsome jack)
They will be working hard at finishing TWAU S1 (hopefully S2 next year? fingers crossed) TWD S2 by the end of the year so that by late 2014 they can start working on the first episodes of Tales from Borderlands and/or Game of thrones
Dont expect Tales to pop up again for ahwile
I believe it said in 2014. Hopefully its after TWAU and TWD2 finish, but I will have to see more of this borderlands game to see if I will buy it.
Well, if you think about it TWD and TWAU will probably end in Q3 of 2014 so this will take most of their time..
Hmm. The concept doesn't seem right to me, though I'll see what i think of it closer to release. Hopefully it won't interfere with TWD or TWAU.
Because, while i liked borderlands 2 and am aware that TTG have made funny games before, i'm just not convinced that universe is strong enough to be able to stand up to presumably having all the gunplay and co-op action removed and still be entertaining. Like i said though though we haven't seen much of it and i'll wait and see what they're able to do.
Weeeeeelll, I for one am not even convinced it's such a good idea to remove so many gameplay/brainteaser elements from the adventure genre and make an entirely choice and plot driven experience out of it. But a lot of people thought it worked out exceedingly neatly for The Walking Dead, so why doubt that it could work for Borderlands?
Of course, I'm very much looking forward to all the "How do I shoot" threads made by Borderland fans on this forum. I should prepare a standard answer right now...
Because The Walking Dead, much like Fables and Game of Thrones were series that were very plot driven and atmospheric anyway and natural fits for the story centered, cinematic approach. Borderlands...not so much. I understand what you're saying that taking risks has paid off handsomely before and i'm certainly not going to dismiss it.
Gearbox is a mixed bag. They failed with Aliens Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem Forever but they also created the Half-Life expansions, Borderlands, Borderlands 2 and are responsible for the upcoming Homeworld re-releases. So it could go either way.
Borderlands 1-2 = overrated as hell. Half-life expansions were good.
Not my favorite game developer nor franchise but i liked this game's trailer we'll see.
You'll understand once you go through puberty. There's more to games than kill all de monstarz with gunz.
I said someone was a Pre-adolescent, im going to hell.
Listen Vain in all honesty i don't see this why would this insult anyone, but i'll calm down i guess? just for you
Oh please. Just because you didn't like it doesn't mean it's "overrated", grow up. The Borderlands series is great, which is why Telltale is working on an episodic game for the series.
So if i don't like a game because it lacks story/character development and it's pretty much a grind from the start to the end, i haven't matured. Cool story.
I never said they were bad games just not NEAR as good as people claim them to be, halo effect at it's best. If it wasn't an FPS i'd say i was playing some korean MMO, hell the game's art style is great, they also had alot of weird/funny characters with alot of potential but they where only used for 1-2 missions and just for a couple of dialogues.
Duke nukem isn't their fault, since they just finished a game someone else started working on.
It was their fault, stop being a blind fanboy. They were in all their right to say "this game is bad, we need x years to complete it"
stop being a blind fanboy
You're on a slippery slope. Pull yourself together and be respectful to people please.
I wasn't trying to insult him, It was just an honest way of describing the guy's post. What would you call someone who thinks it's okay to release 2 mediocre games and almost kill the franchises in the process just because the company released 2 okay games?

The next night Festival Miami will present the music of composer-orchestrator-arranger Vince Mendoza who has earned six Grammy Awards and 25 Grammy nominations with such artists as Björk, Chaka Khan, Al Jarreau, Bobby McFerrin, Sting and Joni Mitchell. His music is often described as abstract impressionism—a sophisticated blend of chamber music and jazz, a la Gil Evans. Here, Mendoza pairs up with the Frost Concert Jazz Band and the Henry Mancini Institute Orchestra for an amazing concert of original works in both big band and full orchestral settings.
Rounding out its Jazz and Beyond offerings, Festival Miami presents bassist extraordinaire Christian McBride and his audience-friendly jazz trio on October 30.

The Stamps Jazz Quintet are five top-recruited jazz musicians selected for a special four-year full scholarship program at Frost, made possible through the generosity of the Stamps Family Charitable Foundation.
In addition, Festival Miami presents several blockbuster artists for its Music of the Americas themed concerts.
On October 12 Festival Miami welcomes salsa singer-songwriter-guitarist and international superstar Luis Enrique, winner of a Grammy Award for "Best Traditional Tropical Latin Album," winner of a Latin Grammy Award for "Best Salsa Album," as well as a Latin Grammy Award for "Best Song the Year" for his popular hit single "Yo No Se Mañana."
On October 17, the soothing sounds of Brazilian jazz guitar and vocals will be performed by award winning recording artist Paulinho Garcia—named "best vocalist" at the 16th Annual Brazilian International Press Awards (2013).
On October 26, Latin Jazz icon Arturo Sandoval brings his unabashed virtuosic trumpet talents and beautiful ballad playing to Festival Miami's 30th Anniversary season, this time performing a variety of selections from his latest project, Tango Como Yo Te Siento ("Tango, How I Feel You") and his 2013 Grammy Award winning CD Dear Diz (Every Day I Think of You), plus his multi-Latin Grammy Award winning CD Time for Love described by Billboard magazine as "a dinner-jazz gem that could be the zenith of his 20-plus-year recording career." Sandoval will sing and play the piano, too!
Concerts under the Creative American Music banner will include Festival Miami's annual free Songwriters Showcase on October 9 featuring songs composed and performed by Frost School of Music students enrolled in the Bruce Hornsby Creative American Music program. Top songwriters and faculty serve as judges, and the audience is polled for their favorite selections.
Festival Miami presents Fiddles on Fire—Featuring Mark O'Connor and Glenn Basham on October 13. With fingers flying, toes tapping, and a blaze of excitement lighting up the stage these violinists extraordinaire will create a roaring bluegrass, jazz and country fiddle mash-up. Student fiddlers and national champion finalists from the Frost School of Music will also stoke the musical fire with their prodigious talents.
For the very young, and young at heart, Festival Miami collaborates with Sunday Afternoons of Music for Children to present a Halloween concert at 3 p.m. on Sunday, October 27 with The Okee Dokee Brothers, 2013 Grammy Award winners in the "Best Children's Album" category and two-time Parent's Choice Award recipients. Originally from Denver, these two witty singer-songwriters, Justin Lansing on banjo and Joe Mailander on guitar have garnered praise from the likes of NPR's All Things Considered and USA Today. Their Grammy winning CD, Can you Canoe? was inspired by a month-long adventure paddling down the Mississippi River. They will also perform new songs inspired by recent travels on the Appalachian Trail. All children are invited to dress in Halloween costumes and enjoy an after-concert A-B-C party: Apple juice, Balloons and Cookies.
Other artists to be announced.

Topic: Building strength before major operation? -how do you do it in 10 day?
My uncle was diagnosed with CC about month a go. They discovered it becuase of his Jaundice state. The hospitals here in Birmingham said that they would not be able to operate and they said he would have up to a year to live after they releived his jaundice.
We got him referred to St James in Leeds for a second opinion. The consultant there said that he would relieve the jaundice state with a stent and was willing to operate on him to remove the tumour. However, the radiologist disagreed with the Consultant and said that he shouldn't do the procedure to releive the jaundice. Now after this the consultant did an explorotary operation and tried to see if he could surgically try to remove the Jaundice. Unfortunately it was a no go. My uncle's bile ducts are too damaged.
The consultant has now said that we he will attempt the operation even though my uncle is in a Jaundice state in a couple of weeks time but has also told us not to pin our hopes on it. There is a 10 percent risk that my uncle may not recover frm this operation, and even if it is successful it may give him another 18months of life.
We, his family together with my uncle have decided to give the operation a chnace. Its like he says 'do i have a choice'? He has a 5yr old son, 3yr old daughter, and a 5week only baby boy. He as every reason to live and fight against this desease to prolong his life. It breaks me to peices to watch young family.
If anyone can offer me any advice on how to build up his strength over the next 10 days or alternative treatment to relieve his jaundice to get him fit for this major surgery please contact me IMMEDIATELY.
I thank you in advance for taking this time to read the post and pray that you have the strength to get through any difficult time that you and your family may be going through.

text: I was hoping someone can answer a question for me. Where can I find the press release for the 2001 or 2002 (I forget which year) Frosty the Snowman line that was cancelled? Over at he Forever Fun Forum we were talking about the original line based on Frosty 1.0 and the press release and Toy Fair photos seem to have been pulled from your site. I see press releases and photos for other cancelled lines remain so I wonder if this is just a fluke? Is there any way we could see those pictures again? It looks like well never see Classic Frosty, only sequel Frosty in figure form. This was the same time there were announced Rudolph items like the Bumbles Cave that were never made either. We wanted infor on that too if it still exists.

Is Bridgegate Politics as Usual, or Beyond the Pale?
A perspective on the Christie administration's behavior from someone who's seen firsthand how government operates.
For those who are not familiar with the story -- perhaps that same set of people who in questionnaires do not know where the Mississippi River or the Pacific Ocean is -- Governor Chris Christie's staff created a several-day monstrous traffic jam around the George Washington Bridge last September, apparently to get back at the Democratic mayor of Fort Lee, New Jersey for not supporting the governor for reelection. After denying for months that anything happened, the governor fired everyone he could find, held the world's longest and most lachrymose press conference, denied all knowledge, said he was "very sad," and seemed to conclude that he was the victim here. The poor jerks who sat in traffic for several hours apparently didn't count.
The best and funniest column on this by far was by Gail Collins in Saturday's New York Times; I can't come close to that, so I'll ask the deep questions.
1. What are the odds that Governor Christie is telling the truth when he says he knew nothing?
Zero, or bagel, as they say in the finance business. I suspect he didn't order the dirty deed, but this is exactly the kind of stunt political advisors pull when they're riding high and want to show how tough they are. There would have been lots of smirking around the governor -- remember, at the time they would have been quite proud of it -- and you would have had to be about as unaware as a tree not to notice. The governor is not known for being unaware.
2. Has there been any kind of pattern that might suggest this sort of behavior was part of the governor's genotype?
The only way you can say there was no pattern here is if you are a denier of combinatorial probabilities and a lot of introductory math. The Times has specified several incidents which sure look like revenge bullying. If I give the governor a 60 percent probability that each of these events was not part of a pattern (way above my gut feel), there's still a 92 percent chance that this is all part of a pattern. I'm going with a pattern.
3. Is it surprising that the governor threw everyone on his staff within reach under the bus and denied knowing David Wildstein, a senior staff member and a friend since high school?
Are you kidding me? This is pure "homo politicus" stuff. Take my word on this: there is essentially no one in big-time American politics who wouldn't gut his or her best friend in an instant for almost any temporary advantage. (The high school friend matter is almost too easy. No one in the known universe who graduated from an American high school believed any single word, including "a," "an," and " the," of this story.)
4. Is the actual behavior just life in the big leagues or a touch disturbing?
Certainly this traffic stunt was more inventive than anything I've heard before, and I've been close to this game since 1970. The other acts were nowhere near as clever but seem to be similar to the traffic stunt in two other big ways: they feel out of proportion, and they targeted civilians, not political pros. They imposed large arbitrary penalties on normal professional people who were simply doing their jobs. But I keep coming back to the folks caught in traffic. Let's say 500,000 people were caught in the traffic jams for, say, four additional hours each. That's 2 million traffic jam person-hours. If I value people's time at $20 per hour, that's a $40 million cost, all because someone got angry that a Democratic mayor didn't support a Republican governor who was already winning by a landslide and was simply trying to run up the score. Probably some of the commuters actually lost their jobs because of this.
So ask yourself, if you're just a citizen, and this guy becomes president with a lot more power and lots more reasons to get angry, how likely are you to be collateral damage in some scheme some other political "advisor" comes up with? I think you have to come down on the "disturbing behavior" side. I know "politics ain't bean bag," as Christie said, and if one pol wants to take a whack at another pol, I couldn't care less. But this crosses a lot of lines.
So back to the question in the title. There's no way this is normal behavior for normal human beings. Some of it is very normal for "homo politicus," and for athletes and hedge fund billionaires who feel particularly entitled. But the behavior at the core is way beyond the pale. Life is tough enough without leaders dedicated to getting even at your cost for the tiniest slight or the smallest act of dissent.

CERRITOS — Norwalk and Cerritos sheriff's deputies have arrested a Norwalk man suspected of a series of armed carjackings, authorities announced Thursday.
The suspect, whose name wasn't released Thursday, was arrested by deputies from both cities after he was allegedly seen Aug. 8 stealing a vehicle during a carjacking in Cerritos.
The suspect was caught after he crashed the car during a short pursuit, said Rebecca Scott of the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department's Headquarters Bureau.
He is suspected of similar crimes in Artesia and Norwalk, Scott said, and the follow-up investigation is being led by deputies in the Norwalk Station's Operation Safe Streets Bureau, which is part of the sheriff's anti-gang division.
In light of the armed carjacking, Cerritos authorities reminded residents and people who work in the city to always remain aware of their surroundings and to report any suspicious activity to the Cerritos sheriff's station at 562-860-0044.
To report an emergency or a crime in progress call 911 immediately.
More crime prevention tips can be found on the city's website, safercerritos.com.

Prostate Cancer
PSA Level of 2.69 8 Months After Removal
I am 62. The PSA was 2.52 April `09 and 6.7 Nov `10 Because of the velocity of the PSA a biopsy detected cancer. The Prostate was removed Jan 18 `11. The margins were clear and the pelvic lymph nodes were clear. The PSA in April `11 was 1.91. My doctor expected a 0 and called the results unusual. The Aug. `11 test was 2.69 My doctor recommended radiation. What`s going on and what are they going to radiate?
The fact that your PSA is rising suggests there is residual cancer. This is often at the site of where the prostate was. The urologist may want to order a bone scan and CT scan of the pelvis. Radiation of the pelvis would be appropriate assuming the scans are normal. The hope is that the radiation will destroy any residual prostate cancer that may be present.

MADRID (AFP) - French striker Thierry Henry may leave Barcelona next summer to play for the New York Red Bulls, a Spanish sports daily said Friday.
Henry, 32, would like to end his career in the same country as his friend and countryman Tony Parker, who plays basketball for the San Antonio Spurs, the daily AS said, without indicating its sources.
Spanish media have previously reported that Henry, who arrived at Barca from English side Arsenal in 2007, does not plan to stay at the Spanish and European champions beyond the summer of 2010.
