text: Treatment By Mayo Clinic Staff Print LumpectomyLumpectomyLumpectomyDuring a lumpectomy, your surgeon makes an incision large enough to remove the tumor and a margin of healthy tissue surrounding the tumor. The rest of your breast remains intact. Simple mastectomy and modified radical mastectomySimple mastectomy and modified radical mastectomySimple mastectomy and modified radical mastectomyA simple mastectomy (left) removes the breast tissue, nipple, areola and skin but not all the lymph nodes. A modified radical mastectomy (right) removes the entire breast — including the breast tissue, skin, areola and nipple — and most of the underarm (axillary) lymph nodes. Sentinel node biopsySentinel node biopsyTo determine whether cancer has spread to the nearby lymph nodes, doctors may use a sentinel node biopsy. Doctors determine which lymph node is likely to be the first stop for spreading cancer cells by injecting a harmless dye or a weak radioactive solution near the tumor. That sentinel lymph node is removed and tested for cancer cells. Radiation therapyRadiation therapyExternal beam radiation uses high-powered beams to kill cancer cells. Beams of radiation are precisely aimed at the breast cancer using a machine that moves around your body. Your doctor determines your breast cancer treatment options based on your type of breast cancer, its stage and grade, size, and whether the cancer cells are sensitive to hormones. Your doctor also considers your overall health and your own preferences. Most women undergo surgery for breast cancer and also receive additional treatment before or after surgery, such as chemotherapy, hormone therapy or radiation. There are many options for breast cancer treatment, and you may feel overwhelmed as you make complex decisions about your treatment. Consider seeking a second opinion from a breast specialist in a breast center or clinic. Talk to other women who have faced the same decision. Breast cancer surgeryOperations used to treat breast cancer include: Removing the breast cancer (lumpectomy). During lumpectomy, which may be referred to as breast-sparing surgery or wide local excision, the surgeon removes the tumor and a small margin of surrounding healthy tissue. Lumpectomy is typically reserved for smaller tumors. Removing the entire breast (mastectomy). Mastectomy is an operation to remove all of your breast tissue. Most mastectomy procedures remove all of the breast tissue — the lobules, ducts, fatty tissue and some skin, including the nipple and areola (simple mastectomy) In a skin-sparing mastectomy, the skin over the breast is left intact to improve reconstruction and appearance. Depending on the location and size of the tumor, the nipple also may be spared. Removing a limited number of lymph nodes (sentinel node biopsy). To determine whether cancer has spread to your lymph nodes, your surgeon will discuss with you the role of removing the lymph nodes that are the first to receive the lymph drainage from your tumor. If no cancer is found in those lymph nodes, the chance of finding cancer in any of the remaining lymph nodes is small and no other nodes need to be removed. Removing several lymph nodes (axillary lymph node dissection). If cancer is found in the sentinel lymph nodes, your surgeon will discuss with you the role of removing additional lymph nodes in your armpit. Removing both breasts. Some women with cancer in one breast may choose to have their other (healthy) breast removed (contralateral prophylactic mastectomy) if they have a very increased risk of cancer in the other breast because of a genetic predisposition or strong family history. Most women with breast cancer in one breast will never develop cancer in the other breast. Discuss your breast cancer risk with your doctor, along with the benefits and risks of this procedure. Complications of breast cancer surgery depend on the procedures you choose. Breast cancer surgery carries a risk of pain, bleeding, infection and arm swelling (lymphedema). Some women choose to have breast reconstruction after surgery. Discuss your options and preferences with your surgeon. Consider a referral to a plastic surgeon before your breast cancer surgery. Your options may include reconstruction with a breast implant (silicone or water) or reconstruction using your own tissue. These operations can be performed at the time of your mastectomy or at a later date. Radiation therapyRadiation therapy uses high-powered beams of energy, such as X-rays and protons, to kill cancer cells. Radiation therapy is typically done using a large machine that aims the energy beams at your body (external beam radiation). But radiation can also be done by placing radioactive material inside your body (brachytherapy). External beam radiation is commonly used after lumpectomy for early-stage breast cancer. Doctors may also recommend radiation therapy to the chest wall after mastectomy for larger breast cancers or cancers that have spread to the lymph nodes. Side effects of radiation therapy include fatigue and a red, sunburn-like rash where the radiation is aimed. Breast tissue may also appear swollen or more firm. Rarely, more-serious problems may occur, such as damage to the heart or lungs or, very rarely, second cancers in the treated area. ChemotherapyChemotherapy uses drugs to destroy cancer cells. If your cancer has a high risk of returning or spreading to another part of your body, your doctor may recommend chemotherapy to decrease the chance that the cancer will recur. This is known as adjuvant chemotherapy. Chemotherapy is sometimes given before surgery in women with larger breast tumors. The goal is to shrink a tumor to a size that makes it easier to remove with surgery. Chemotherapy is also used in women whose cancer has already spread to other parts of the body. Chemotherapy may be recommended to try to control the cancer and decrease any symptoms the cancer is causing. Chemotherapy side effects depend on the drugs you receive. Common side effects include hair loss, nausea, vomiting, fatigue and an increased risk of developing infection. Rare side effects can include premature menopause, infertility (if premenopausal), damage to the heart and kidneys, nerve damage, and, very rarely, blood cell cancer. Hormone therapyHormone therapy — perhaps more properly termed hormone-blocking therapy — is often used to treat breast cancers that are sensitive to hormones. Doctors sometimes refer to these cancers as estrogen receptor positive (ER positive) and progesterone receptor positive (PR positive) cancers. Hormone therapy can be used before or after surgery or other treatments to decrease the chance of your cancer returning. If the cancer has already spread, hormone therapy may shrink and control it. Treatments that can be used in hormone therapy include: Medications that block hormones from attaching to cancer cells. Selective estrogen receptor modulator (SERM) medications act by blocking estrogen from attaching to the estrogen receptor on the cancer cells, slowing the growth of tumors and killing tumor cells. SERMs include tamoxifen, raloxifene (Evista) and toremifene (Fareston). Possible side effects include hot flashes, night sweats and vaginal dryness. More-significant risks include blood clots, stroke, uterine cancer and cataracts. Medications that stop the body from making estrogen after menopause. Called aromatase inhibitors, these drugs block the action of an enzyme that converts androgens in the body into estrogen. These drugs are effective only in postmenopausal women. Aromatase inhibitors include anastrozole (Arimidex), letrozole (Femara) and exemestane (Aromasin). Side effects include hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, joint and muscle pain, as well as an increased risk of bone thinning (osteoporosis). A drug that targets estrogen receptors for destruction. The drug fulvestrant (Faslodex) blocks estrogen receptors on cancer cells and signals to the cell to destroy the receptors. Fulvestrant is used in postmenopausal women. Side effects that may occur include hot flashes and joint pain. Surgery or medications to stop hormone production in the ovaries. In premenopausal women, surgery to remove the ovaries or medications to stop the ovaries from making estrogen can be an effective hormonal treatment. Targeted drugsTargeted drug treatments attack specific abnormalities within cancer cells. Targeted drugs used to treat breast cancer include: Trastuzumab (Herceptin). Some breast cancers make excessive amounts of a protein called human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2), which helps breast cancer cells grow and survive. If your breast cancer cells make too much HER2, trastuzumab may help block that protein and cause the cancer cells to die. Side effects may include headaches, diarrhea and heart problems. Pertuzumab (Perjeta). Pertuzumab targets HER2 and is approved for use in metastatic breast cancer in combination with trastuzumab and chemotherapy. This combination of treatments is reserved for women who haven't yet received other drug treatments for their cancer. Side effects of pertuzumab may include diarrhea, hair loss and heart problems. Ado-trastuzumab (Kadcyla). This drug combines trastuzumab with a cell-killing drug. When the combination drug enters the body, the trastuzumab helps it find the cancer cells because it is attracted to HER2. The cell-killing drug is then released into the cancer cells. Ado-trastuzumab may be an option for women with metastatic breast cancer who've already tried trastuzumab and chemotherapy. Lapatinib (Tykerb). Lapatinib targets HER2 and is approved for use in advanced or metastatic breast cancer. Lapatinib can be used in combination with chemotherapy or hormone therapy. Potential side effects include diarrhea, painful hands and feet, nausea, and heart problems. Palbociclib (Ibrance). Palbociclib is used with aromatase inhibitors in women with advanced hormone receptor positive breast cancer. Side effects may include increased risk of infections, fatigue and nausea. Everolimus (Afinitor). Everolimus targets a pathway that plays a role in the growth of cancer cells. It's used in combination with exemestane in women with advanced breast cancer. Side effects may include mouth sores, increased risk of infections, rash and lung problems. Supportive (palliative) carePalliative care is specialized medical care that focuses on providing relief from pain and other symptoms of a serious illness. Palliative care specialists work with you, your family and your other doctors to provide an extra layer of support that complements your ongoing care. Palliative care can be used while undergoing other aggressive treatments, such as surgery, chemotherapy or radiation therapy. When palliative care is used along with all of the other appropriate treatments, people with cancer may feel better and live longer. Palliative care is provided by a team of doctors, nurses and other specially trained professionals. Palliative care teams aim to improve the quality of life for people with cancer and their families. This form of care is offered alongside curative or other treatments you may be receiving. Alternative medicineNo alternative medicine treatments have been found to cure breast cancer. But complementary and alternative medicine therapies may help you cope with side effects of treatment when combined with your doctor's care. Many breast cancer survivors experience fatigue during and after treatment that can continue for years. When combined with your doctor's care, complementary and alternative medicine therapies may help relieve fatigue. Talk with your doctor about: Alternative medicine for fatigue Gentle exercise. If you get the OK from your doctor, start with gentle exercise a few times a week and add more if you feel up to it. Consider walking, swimming, yoga or tai chi. Managing stress. Take control of the stress in your daily life. Try stress-reduction techniques such as muscle relaxation, visualization, and spending time with friends and family. Expressing your feelings. Find an activity that allows you to write about or discuss your emotions, such as writing in a journal, participating in a support group or talking to a counselor.

Using proper trim, limiting weight load, keeping your bottom clean, and many other things will keep gas money in your pocket and get the best performance out of your fishing machine.
description +
Faced with 2 to 3 foot seas, most boats that offer skinny
water access are likely to retreat to the dock or launch ramp.
The versatile Triton 240LTS Pro is different. This is a powerhouse
of a shallow water rig that's blue water ready. The visually stunning
rig is ruggedly built with stainless steel thru-bolted hardware, a big,
stable casting platform inshore and a generous cockpit.
10/24/2013 i bought a 240 in 05 i've had inbd's inouts outbds and worked at mariinea's and drove more than ten diff. boats and nothing compare's to the triton 240 in all conditions and that's no bs.
6/23/2013 I recently bought a 2008 24 lts from a private seller .this boat looks like it was just pulled out the mold .Its powered by 250 Yamaha an is Wasabi Green it's absolutely awesome.Fish a lot in Cape Fear river this is the boat for big water fishing an great for the backwater . Love the storage an all the room this is the best boat I've ever owned cant wait till the fall to run offshore for some grouper
Dennis - Leland, NC
2/20/2013 In reading some of the reviews here it seems that there is a general perception that a 240 LTS is a great riding boat but slow. I can tell you as a professional redfish tournament angler I run a 240 LTS with a 300 Verado and it will consistently outrun any Ranger except for a bass boat and most any other boat close to it's size. My 240 will easily run over 60 MPH light and well over 55 MPH no matter how much weight or fuel I add and as far as I am concerned NOTHING will out ride a LTS, NOTHING. If you are looking for an exceptional riding boat that is both dry and fast that will also consistently float in 12" or less then the Triton 240 LTS is the only choice.
David - Houston, TX
2/3/2013 I have a 2006 LTS 24 and there is no other bay boat that can compete with the smooth ride of the LTS 24!!!! This boat rocks! It's not as fast as some of your Ranger or Skeeter boats, but they wont ride near as well as a Triton in the chop. Great storage, plenty of room, and a very stable deck. Huge console to access your electonics and work on electrical pannel. My only complaint with this boat boat is the two small hatches in the stern to access the bildge and the plumbing. Triton skipped out on this part. One big access plate would be easier and they dont put any shut off valves on the live well plumbing coming from the high speed pickups. Other than that, this is one awesome boat.
Brandon - Southport, NC
1/14/2013 I started in bass boats fishing the Chesapeake Bay tributaries. A friend got a bay boat and the room was tremendous when compared to a bass boat and it could do and go everywhere the bass boat did while have a more stable platform.
I kept looking at the different models, but kept coming back to the 240 after being in one at a boat show with Stephen Browning.
The under gunnel rod storage, a must!
The large space in front of the console, a must!
The port and starboard steps to the upper fore and aft decks, a must!
The wind going over my head when standing behind the console, a must!
The large live wells and bait well, a must!
The amount of storage, a must!
The ride? What can I say? You have to ride in one. Stable, safe, eats the chop.
The fishability? Room to spare. Gunnels not to high to lean over and lip a fish be it a bass or striper yet tall enough to feel safe.
I could go on but you get the picture.

12/9/2011 I purchased my boat 4 months before hurricane Katrina devastated new Orleans. My 24 lts survived and has mauled the trout around south east Louisiana since. I am a 6 year year staff officer in the coast guard auxiliary. This boat has towed 3 distressed boats in from the marsh and has saved a lab retriever from the Mississippi river gulf outlett. I am more than comfortable in my triton and haven't found another boat I would be willing to trade my triton for.

I started my boating life in 1985 with a 13' Boston Whaler/ 35hp Johnson, (later changed to a 60 Evinrude) moved to a 17'-6" Hydra Sports F+S/ 140hp Johnson, (later changed to a 150 XR-2 Mercury) then to a Stratos 201 Pro bass boat/ GT 175 Johnson (later changed to a Johnson 225hp HO.
As you can see, always moving up.
I was looking to move to a bay boat and Triton was on the short list. My son and I looked closely at one at the Timonium, MD boat show years ago and I fell in love.
I already knew Triton's reputation from being around bass boats and following the Red Fish Trail, where the 240 was king.
At that time it was just a dream to have one. A few years went by and I found a used 2005 with 42 hours on it in a nearby state that was priced right! I jumped on it and never looked back.
Friends have said, "Well, you will be wanting a bigger boat soon". My answer is, "No, I don't, this does everything I will ever want in a fishing boat!".
Plenty of room for multiple anglers, storage galore, large live wells, a bait well, and the styling no other can touch, plus more.
I do not go in the ocean but it is nice to know if ever I would like to venture out, I can feel secure following my safety check list.
I fish for everything that swims in the Chesapeake Bay, mostly stripers now. My guest and I feel safe in any (reasonable) conditions mother nature can throw at us.
There is not a time I go out that i do not get a compliment on the boat. I feel a little strange thanking them, I didn't design it, I'm just a proud lucky owner.
Capt Jeff - Fallston, MD
3/24/2011 In 2009 I was looking to downsize from a 32' CC to a 24' bay boat. After looking at every productiion bay boat available I chose the 240 LTS. It's THE best riding bay boat hands down. I had mine 25 miles offshore in 3'-4' seas and never felt uncomfortable. It's also very dry. The storage is fantastic. I hate a cluttered deck and in the LTS there is places to store everything out of the way. Construction is top notch as is the fit and finish work. I have a Yamaha F250 on mine and I can get 3 mpg cruising at 30 mph. She tops out at 51 mph. From offshore, to coastal marshes to freshwater bass fishing and pulling skiers, the Triton LTS is a perfect fit

NAEYC Radio presents…
Creating emotionally literate schools
(Washington, D.C.) – This month's NAEYC Radio segment features Marc Brackett, Ph.D., who shares the research behind the importance of emotional intelligence as a foundation to other learning and how teachers and administrators can work toward having emotionally literate schools for our children.
Rae Pica and Mark R. Ginsberg interviewed Dr. Brackett in this month's segment of NAEYC Radio, a program brought to you by the National Association for the Education of Young Children (NAEYC) and the BAM Radio Network.
In this segment, Dr. Brackett says an emotionally literate school is one in which every student and every stakeholder involved in education is using five key skills his or her everyday life. These five skills are the following:
R - Recognizing emotions
U - Understanding emotions
L - Labeling emotions
E - Expressing emotions
R - Regulating emotions
Not having these five skills makes learning more difficult, especially for young children, says Dr. Brackett. He also says most adults, including educators, often lack emotional literacy skills because there are no institutions set up to teach these skill sets.
"We believe that everyone involved in the education of a child needs to be trained," says Brackett. It is also important for adults to model good emotional behavior once they learn it, says Dr. Brackett.
"If you model rolling your eyes at someone who does something inappropriate, guess who's going to start rolling their eyes?" says Dr. Brackett. "So in our work, it's absolutely critical for teachers to become more self-aware…about the words they are choosing to use. It all comes to being a proactive role model for children, in our view."
Dr. Brackett is a Research Scientist in the Department of Psychology at Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut. He also is the Deputy Director of Yale's Health, Emotion, and Behavior Laboratory and Head of the Emotional Intelligence Unit in the Edward Zigler Center in Child Development and Social Policy. Dr. Brackett also presented on this topic earlier this month at NAEYC's National Institute for Early Childhood Professional Development in Phoenix, Arizona.
Mark R. Ginsberg, Ph.D., is the executive director of NAEYC.
The BAM Radio Network was originally launched as a resource for parents, aimed at delivering the most reliable information on early childhood development and developmentally appropriate parenting to busy moms and dads. Created by leading early childhood experts, the programming quickly became a popular resource among teachers and educators and was expanded to include an Educators' Channel.
Founded in 1926, the National Association for the Education of Young Children has nearly 90,000 members worldwide. The association is the largest and most influential voice for early childhood education professionals and the field of early childhood education in the United States.
Founded in 1926, the National Association for the Education of Young Children is the largest and most influential advocate for high-quality early care and education in the United States.

Photo gallery: Gibson Amphitheatre through the years
Rock 'n' roll is making way for Harry Potter.
The iconic Gibson Amphitheatre will go silent this fall as part of the massive $1.6 billion expansion of the Universal Studios Hollywood theme park, officials said Wednesday.
The theater site will be converted to part of the The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, said Universal spokeswoman Audrey Eig.
"The theater will be torn down. Groundbreaking is scheduled for this summer," Eig said.
Universal has yet to finalize a time line for the opening of the Harry Potter experience.
"It's too early. Once the project is underway we can address the rate of progress and release more information," she said.
Word of the popular concert venue's demise came one day after Los Angeles County supervisors unanimously approved the expansion plan.
Universal notified Live Nation, the entertainment company that operates the Gibson, that its lease is not being renewed when it expires on Sept. 9, said company spokesman Greg Terlizzi.
Fans with tickets to shows scheduled after Sept. 9 should hold on to them, the company said in a statement.
"Live Nation is currently working on moving these events into other venues and will notify fans when there is more information. If a show cannot be moved then fans will receive a full refund," the statement said.
The venue opened in 1972 as the Universal Amphitheatre and instantly became a popular San Fernando Valley destination for music fans throughout Southern California.
"We, like music lovers across Los Angeles, will miss Gibson Amphitheater," Bret Gallagher, Live Nation's president of North American concerts, Southern California/Las Vegas said in a statement. "It is a tremendous venue with a uniquely intimate setting that has made it a very special place for fans and artists alike. The list of musicians that have played here is simply staggering. We are honored to have been a part of its remarkable story. While a change like this is difficult, we look forward to putting together a series of great shows that will celebrate everything about this marvelous building."
The company said it is planning a celebration of the "legendary artists" who have played its stage. Officials in the Southern California office will assemble a special lineup of shows as a fitting farewell. Details will be announced later.
"We anticipate the last Gibson show to take place around September 6th, but we continue to work on the celebratory grand finale concert lineup so this date may change," Terlizzi said in an email.
Performers at the Gibson over the years have included Frank Sinatra, Bob Marley, Johnny Cash and Miles Davis. Sinatra, who headlined the amphitheater's grand 1982 reopening as an enclosed theater, called it, "acoustically sensational" as large as the building is, I get a feeling that it's a small room."
Now, "El Rey" - Norteño legend Vicente Fernandez - who holds the venue's record for most consecutive sellouts (14), will close his final tour with three Gibson performances this weekend.
Last December the Gibson was the site of a memorial for Jenni Rivera, the Mexican super star singer killed in a plane crash.
Her legacy will now include a historical footnote. Rivera was the first female banda artist to sell out a concert at the Gibson.

Vans was first set in to motion in 1966 when Paul Van Doren opened his first store in Anaheim, California. 10 years later in 1976, Skaters and skateboarders began wearing Vans and insisted that the footwear came in more colours. Tony Alva and Stacy Peralta, two professional skaters were the designers, and in March 1976, Vans released the original Era in red and blue. In next to no time the classic checkerboard slip on Vans were seen on Jeff Spicoli a Californian surfer, in the hit movie "Fast Times at Ridgemont High" and the world went fanatical for them. The Vans slip on are specifically produced to adapt to action sports and lifestyle with elasticised gussets at the sides and a reinforced back section for grip and flexibility. Today, the southern Californian based footwear offers over 60 styles varying from the classic Vans slip on and deck shoes to casual sandals and high performance skate shoes. Not only are Vans funky, famous and fashionable, they are also sensationally comfortable with their cushioned rubber soles and padding around heel.

W.Va. Scouts make road trip to their own backyard
here.BECKLEY, W.Va. -- The only downside to having the world's biggest camping trip in your own backyard is not getting to take a trip. The vast majority of the 40,000 Boy Scouts converging on the Beckley area for the 2013 National Scout Jamboree are flying or bussing in from all over the country. And the travel, the getting there together, is an integral part of the Jamboree experience, Scout officials say."Part of the Jamboree experience is the travel experience," said Larry Wunderly, the assistant Scout executive of Buckskin Council, which represents troops in 19 counties in Southern West Virginia, as well as three counties in Virginia and one in Kentucky. "It gives the youth the opportunity to bond as a unit."But the Scouts of Buckskin Council won't be missing out on that opportunity. While the Boy Scouts of America converges on West Virginia, the Boy Scouts of West Virginia are taking off.Four buses filled with 162 Scouts from four troops and one Venture Crew left Beckley Friday afternoon, bound for Washington, D.C., for a weekend trip before the Jamboree kicks off Monday."Scouts from all over, on their way here, they do a two- or three-day tour. It's part of the team building, part of the camaraderie, is that pre-trip and we didn't want our Scouts to miss out on that," said Jeff Purdy, Scout executive for Buckskin Council.The Scouts will visit the U.S. Capitol, the National Museum of Natural History, Ford's Theatre, the National Air and Space Museum, Arlington National Cemetery and the Holocaust Memorial Museum.And it really is a pre-trip, as none of the Scouts will be going home between the D.C. trip and the beginning of the Jamboree on Monday. So they're packed, not just for a weekend in the nation's capital, but for a 21st-century Jamboree. It was recommended that every Scout buy a solar-powered cellphone charger so that they can stay tuned-in while camping at the Jamboree. Their itineraries for each day of the Jamboree will be texted to them the evening before.Michael Kawash of Charleston was one of many parents at the Beckley Crossroads Mall to see off his two sons, Michael and Timothy, ages 16 and 13."It's great that they get a trip, too, since it's in our own backyard," Kawash said. "They're very excited, even my oldest son, and he hardly gets excited about anything."Kimberly Bennett of Fayetteville is a Venture Crew adviser. Venture Crews are like co-ed Scout troops and Bennett said this is the first time in the 103-year history of the Scouts that females will be participating in the national Jamboree.Bennett said many Scouts who already have arrived in West Virginia are doing things like whitewater rafting and mountain biking as a pre-trip."It's traditional to do what's called a side trip before or after the Jambo," Bennett said. "We have access to this any time, so why not move and let them have access to that? Let people experience West Virginia. If they're doing day trips, that'll encourage people to come back."Graham Moutz, 15, is part of Troop 5, based out of the First Presbyterian Church in Charleston. He was at the Summit Bechtel Reserve for the June ceremony when they laid the last plank in the Consol Energy Wingtip Bridge, making him one of very few Scouts who have seen the Jamboree site.He's excited to go to Washington and is particularly looking forward to the Museum of Natural History -- but his face practically lit up when asked about the site of next week's Jamboree."It's amazing," Moutz said. "It's just endless wilderness."Reach David Gutman at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-5119.

In an age where most big games ship on multiple platforms, it was a Sony exclusive that took home the grand prize at last week's Game Developers Choice awards, not to mention the DICE Awards a month prior.
God of War? Uncharted? Nope: an 18-person game called Journey, the sort of artsy passion project that a few years ago would have been doomed to cult-classic obscurity. And don't think Sony hasn't noticed. Indie games aren't just an amusing side business anymore — in some cases, they're getting more attention and sales than the "mainstream" triple-A productions.
There's a war brewing for the hearts and minds of the videogame industry's independent developers. The weird thing is, Xbox doesn't seem interested in fighting it.
Indies were once a fringe group of rogue developers who were often happy to get any sort of attention from a console manufacturer like Sony or Microsoft, but today they're an industry force that will help shape the next generation of games and gaming machines.
A recent survey showed that 53 percent of developers self-identify as independent, and Sony is angling to get as many of them on PlayStation devices as possible. And to hear the developers tell it, the reason they're flocking to PlayStation is due as much to what Sony does right as to what Xbox maker Microsoft is doing wrong.
"Microsoft treats independent developers very badly," said Jonathon Blow, creator of the breakout indie success Braid. Blow appeared at Sony's recent PlayStation 4 announcement event to show his new game The Witness. He said in an email that Microsoft's stance on relations with independent developers is to "put you through as much pain as you will endure in order to extract whatever [they] feel like this week."
When Wired forwarded some of the scalding statements from indies about their experiences working with Microsoft, a spokesperson sent back a brief emailed response: "We're invested in helping developers realize their visions on Xbox by ensuring they have the tools they need to be successful and by using their feedback to continually make refinements on our platforms," it read in part.
Ironically, it was Microsoft that originally set the stage for smaller, independent productions to appear on its Xbox 360 by establishing the Xbox Live Arcade service and relentlessly promoting these inexpensive digital releases. If you had an indie game, releasing it on Live Arcade was like premiering your play on Broadway. But that's all begun to change, and Microsoft may be letting a key competitive advantage slip away as Sony's reputation as an indie-friendly company continues to grow.
Brian Provinciano, creator of the old-school parody game Retro City Rampage, tells horror stories about his experience with Microsoft. He says the Xbox maker canceled the release of his game on Live Arcade after he spoke out publicly about the inefficiencies of the process. Microsoft, he says, forced him to resubmit the game through the arduous approvals process and go through an extra six months of negotiations that required him to submit the game through an outside publisher to get it released.
And when the game did come out, he says Microsoft made an expensive mistake: "Someone made a mistake and released it on XBLA for $10 instead of $15, so most of the copies sold earned one-third less off the top," he said in an email.
While Provinciano was busy dealing with stress and red tape at Microsoft, he was getting the star treatment from Sony.
"Sony's been incredibly supportive and promoted the game very well," said Provinciano. "It's received a generous amount of promotion at no cost to me, from [advertisements] on the PS Store to events such as E3 and even having it playable on kiosks at every Walmart, Best Buy, GameStop, Target and Future Shop across North America."
"Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected this to happen," he said.
Sony appears to be seizing on Microsoft's bad reputation among indie developers as an opportunity to lure new games onto its platforms and establish the PlayStation Network as the new place to be for unique independent games. It's becoming the anti-Microsoft, something it seemed to be stressing in its PlayStation 4 announcement. Provinciano said that working with Sony felt like a "coffee shop chat" as opposed to the "intimidating corporate vibe" of Xbox.
At the Game Developers Conference, Sony hosted an event called PlayStation Indie Arcade, showing off indie games like Hotline Miami and Thomas Was Alone. It also hosted a presentation called "The State of Indie Development on PlayStation Network," and announced that it will be supporting the Unity engine on PlayStation 4. Unity is a brand of game development software that has gained widespread appeal for its ease of use and low cost, both of which make it very popular with indies on a shoestring budget.
Indie games might also prove to be a get-out-of-jail-free card for Sony's beleaguered handheld platform PlayStation Vita. Like the PSP before it, Sony positioned the high-powered Vita as a device that would put the big-budget console experience in the palm of your hand. But sluggish sales and close to zero buy-in from software makers painted a bleak picture. But where big publishers see a wasteland, indies see opportunity.
"I was surprised to see more players on PS Vita than PS3, and that has been pretty consistent since we launched," said James Whitehead of indie developer Boss Baddie, which just released the Geometry Wars-styled, twin-stick shooter Big Sky Infinity for Sony machines in December. This is surprising because there are roughly 10 times as many PlayStation 3s as Vitas in consumers' hands. But whereas PlayStation 3 owners are spoiled for choice, Vita players still need content, and indies are happy to fill the void. "It has been great for us; there are a couple of hundred thousand people playing it," he said.
Indies are saying that the development processes for PlayStation 3 and PS Vita are highly similar, which allows them to implement attractive features like "cross-play, cross-buy," which means players can often purchase a game once and play it on both systems.
"They built such a good development kit that [Retro City Rampage] was up and running [on Vita] within a day or so," said Brian Provinciano. "I've worked on just about every console and handheld of the past decade. The PS Vita boasts the best development kit of them all." Before Sony launched Vita, it loaned out development kits for free to indies. Console game development hardware can often cost thousands of dollars, putting it out of reach of many game creators.
"We do our best to empower developers across all of our platforms, to release their games when and how they want, and we've been working hard to take as many obstacles out of the path to release as possible," says Nick Suttner, a Sony account supervisor who works with indie developers. "We allow developers to self-publish on our platforms; no slotting, no voting, or any of that rigmarole."
The "slotting" that Suttner refers to is one of the most notorious roadblocks to getting one's game on Xbox Live Arcade. Microsoft will only release a certain number of games per week on Xbox Live Arcade, and many of these slots are given over to large publishers. No empty slot means you can't release your game. That's why Brian Provinciano had to go find a publisher with an open slot to get Retro City Rampage out on Xbox. Microsoft does have an "Indie Games" channel, but its lack of promotion of the service means that players utterly ignore it.
Sony's self-publishing system isn't quite as open as, say, the iOS App Store. It's not just an open marketplace where any random person can upload anything they want. Sony's still going out and developing relationships with each individual game creator, but it's trying to make that process as easy and painless as possible. It even has a program called "Pub Fund" that acts as a sort of angel investment for promising indie games that need development cash but don't want to sell out.
The power dynamic has shifted over the last generation: Sony's process was originally predicated on the idea that developers desperately wanted to appear on PlayStation, and Sony could make elaborate demands of them with the ostensible goal of raising the quality bar of the PlayStation's content library. But today, it's Sony that needs indies; it must create a path of least resistance for them because they have other options if PlayStation proves too daunting.
Even Nintendo, who has historically been the most difficult company for indies to work with, is warming up. Provinciano said that the Wii U maker has recently thrown out its old rule that required independent developers to have an office space if they wanted to work with Nintendo. As garage developers that work out of their living rooms proliferate, the rule (designed to keep Nintendo's trade secrets more secure) has become more of a barrier than a protection.
"Both Sony and Nintendo actively listen to feedback from developers and make improvements," he said.
Wii U, launched last year, is in just as dire a situation as Vita. Publishers released a few games at launch but aren't announcing many new Wii U products. So Nintendo is courting indies, giving them the sort of freedom over pricing, release dates and content approval that Sony is. What it doesn't have yet are any successes to call its own, no Journeys on the horizon that might snag any Game of the Year honors.
But Sony's and Nintendo's respective wake-up calls haven't seemed to change things with Xbox 360. With Microsoft's console about to turn eight years old in November, everyone is expecting the announcement of a successor console very soon. If it doesn't change its old ways with regard to how it approaches indie developers, the next Xbox might miss out on the games that will define the next generation.Go Back to Top.

- By Graduate Council policy all requirements for this program must be completed within six years from the date the first course was taken.
- Please also see the M.A.E. - Literacy Education Graduate Student Checklist
Potential first-time graduate students must apply online for graduate admissions. Please note that students need to provide accompanying materials (e.g. official transcripts, GRE scores TOEFL etc.). ALL graduate students applying for admission to programs (Summer 2007 and later) must be admitted (either to the program or as interim non-degree students) PRIOR to enrollment in any graduate classes. As a result, we either need to receive departmental admission decisions as quickly as possible, or ask students to change their admission category to interim non-degree. The administrative procedure of allowing students to take one semester of credits, without being admitted, is no longer possible.
Students with incomplete admission files can be admitted as interim non-degree students and register for one semester of credits. The change is that these students MUST now be admitted as non-degree seeking students in order to register. Please keep in mind that any non-degree graduate student continues to be ineligible for any type of financial aid or GA assignment. Graduate students who wish to take classes without seeking admission to a graduate program may still do so as regular non-degree students. Regular non-degree seekers are in a different admissions category than students missing application materials who are admitted as interim non-degree.
From the WKU Graduate Catalog: The total number of credits master's and specialist degree students may apply to their degree program from credits earned prior to admission to the program (courses taken during the senior semester, unclassified status courses, transfer courses, previous master's courses, previous certificate courses) may not exceed twelve (12) hours.
Admission Requirements
Applicants for the M.A.E. in Literacy Education must meet the following admission requirements:
- A bachelor's degree from a college or university of recognized standing (Applicants from non-accredited institutions see below).
- An adequate preparation in the field of specialization.
- GRE scores with minimum Verbal and Quantitative Score of 139 each (see below for details)
- Minimum GAP score (see below for details)
- 3.5 minimum GRE Analytical Writing Score
- Application and Fee: Students seeking a graduate degree must apply online through the Office of Graduate Studies with an Application for Admission (Form A). There is a one-time application free of $40.00 (non-refundable).
- Transcript Record: Graduates of accredited institutions other than Western Kentucky University must submit an official transcript showing the completed degree to the Office of Graduate Studies. Applicants who have not completed the undergraduate degree are required to submit one official transcript at the time of application and one official transcript showing the degree is completed.
- Teacher Certification: All students applying to the M.A.E. in Literacy Education must hold teacher certification or have a statement of eligibility.
- An alternate admission option exists for students who do not take the GRE or who do not meet the above GRE requirements. Please see: http://www.wku.edu/cebs/programs/graduate/policies/alternate_admission.php and review this document for requirements and procedures.
Standardized Examination Scores
All degree-seeking students must submit appropriate standardized test scores regardless of their undergraduate grade point average. Standardized test scores must be received by the Office of Graduate Studies prior to admission. The admission decision will be based upon both the transcript grade point average and the test score. Registration materials for the GRE are available by logging on to http://www.gre.org.
GAP Score: Admission decisions are based upon both the undergraduate grade point average and the GRE General Test score. The GAP score is the product of the GRE score x the overall undergraduate grade point average. For example, a GRE score of 1200 and a grade average of 2.75/4.0 would produce a GAP score of 3300. Since GAP is a product of both GRE and grade point average, both the GRE and transcript record are essential for making an admission decision. GAP score requirements for general admission to Graduate Studies (individual degree programs may be higher) are as follows:
GAP Requirement Based on Test Date
- 3500 on or before 9/30/2002
- 2300 on or after 10/1/2002
- 578 after August 2011

Doug Flutie is often credited for saving the Buffalo Bills franchise. Everyone has been hoping for a "Flutie of hockey" to come around and spark as much interest in the Buffalo Sabres. Out of the dark gloom that has surrounded the Sabres since last summer with the arrest of owner John Rigas, there has emerged a fiery entity known as Ales Kotalik. Could he be the Doug Flutie that could save the Sabres for Buffalo? Only time will tell.

Thanks for voting and helping the judges see who you think should win. You still have 7 days to enter Spar for the Spurtle and throw your hat in the ring to win a trip to Scotland for two and $2500.
Our winners are: Athena, Mardell, Tanya, Ray and Renata. I'll get in touch today to get your shipping info. Congratulations and thanks for playing!
I really liked this recipe from Maiah for Espresso Chip Pancakes. It's creative and sounds delicious.
This recipe from Shawn Christopher of The Gluten Free Spouse uses steel cut oats to make hors d'oeuvres. I had to giggle at his creative solution when his video started running long.
Finally, this one just strikes my fancy with its savory flavors and use of salmon. This is Oat-kayu Porridge with Mirin Glazed Salmon from Bob (not THAT Bob).
Check out the rest of the innovative creations at www.sparforthespurtle.com and help us pick round one winners by voting.

Handlebars take care of the steering for bicycles. They are the interface between bike and rider at the front and where the gear and brake levers are normally attached to. Being a contact point between bike and rider means they have a great deal of effect on the comfort of the rider so should be positioned in a way that is both comfortable and also allows safe control of the bike.
There are many different types of handlebars, each suited to different types of bikes and the differing rider's needs. Road bikes predominantly have rounded, drop handlebars but some people find flat bars better for control. Mountain bikes have flat bars or bars with an upsweep to give more comfort and control. Touring bikes can have very different handlebar styles to the norm to give the rider a choice of hand positions on long journeys. Town bikes have many weird and wonderful handlebar shapes each designed to suit the style of bike or needs of the rider.
Whilst handlebars come in many different styles, their are only two sizes of stem clamp diameter (the centre section where the stem clamps on); these are 25.4 and 31.8 (oversize).
