Not only is a diagnosis of dementia difficult for the person with the disease; it also poses significant changes and sources of stress for those who care for the person with the diagnosis. Most individuals with dementia have a primary caregiver - usually a spouse, partner, or adult child - and some people have secondary caregivers, such as other relatives or neighbors. The following coping skills are useful to both primary and secondary caregivers, but primary caregivers will find them the most relevant due to the way that their lives have changed.
If your loved one can no longer participate in an activity like he or she used to, remember to relax the rules and definitions of what is "appropriate." For instance, if the person wants to help with household chores, let him fold a basket of laundry. Do not worry about whether things are folded correctly (or that the task is completed quickly). What is important is that he is participating in an activity that makes him feel useful. Likewise, if your relative enjoys playing cards but cannot follow the rules of poker anymore, try sorting a deck of cards into colors and suits instead.

IGN Comics: Can you say anything about who is going to be drawing the book going forward?
Remender: It's still Tony [Moore]. Tony is going to be alternating with other artists. He put so much time and effort into his issues. The monthly grind can sometimes require that other artists come in. But in this case we've got Dan Brereton coming back for another special issue. And then Tony is sort of rotating with Roland Boschi of Ghost Rider fame for a while. So Roland comes in for an issue, and then Tony, and then Roland, and so forth. So it's still the same guys, with the addition of some Roland Boschi love in there.
IGN Comics: In an emotional sense, how would you describe where Frank is right now. Is he still feeling the effects of what he went through with The Hood and his death and everything, or is he starting to pick himself out of the gutter now?
Remender: Where we are in the story right now, we've just seen the back-story for Robert Hellsgard. We know what Frank is up against. We've got two more issues of the FrankenCastle arc still to come. And that's going to see, for lack of a better term, the rise of Frank. Frank has been as low as he can go. We've f***ed with Frank so utterly. But that's the great thing about the character, that you can knock him that far down, and with a little inspiration that switch can get flipped.
Now you've got Frank out there, and everything he's absorbed and everything that's been done to him, he's ready to return – first upon Hellsgard. Frank is going out to take all of this out on this guy. And rightfully so. I think Hellsgard is not only a son of a bitch, but I think there might be more subconsciously at play regarding who Robert is and why Frank might want to kill him. It might strike a little closer to home who Robert is and what his background story is, and that all just feeds the fire for what Frank is out there doing, which I like to think has symbolic ramifications as well as just the idea of taking down evildoers.
IGN Comics: Is there anything else you want to add about the book?
Remender: We're having a ton of fun. Now that we're bouncing between Tony and Dan and Roland, we've still got the same A-List artists, and we're all incredibly enthusiastic about what's coming up. Hopefully anyone who hasn't given it a shot yet will go out and buy the first four or five issues and dig in.
IGN Comics: And I also wanted to take a minute or two to commiserate on the fate of Doctor Voodoo.
Remender: [laughs]
IGN Comics: I imagine it was pretty disappointing to see the book end after five issues, but were you at least satisfied with where you were able to leave Jericho at that point?
Remender: Yeah, I was. That first was really about opening up the character and showing people who he was and who his brother was and defining him – taking the groundwork that was already there and polishing it and adding my own touches. And I think we did that. I think by the end of the five issues you know Jericho. He's been able to go from C-List supernatural character to A-List Sorcerer Supreme. That was my ultimate goal. I didn't want it to be too easy for him. I didn't want him to stand up and go "Oh, I'm Sorcerer Supreme!" and just walk right in and start kicking ass. In the Sorcerer Supreme role, what you're up against is pretty giant, and I wanted to make it seem like that. It wouldn't show any respect to the villains were Jericho simply able to stand up and defeat them. By the end we see a very capable and intelligent man take down Nightmare and Doctor Doom. If you can take down Nightmare and Doctor Doom I think you've earned your spot as Sorcerer Supreme. That was good.
It's too bad that new characters are so difficult to sell. I find that to be one of my big issues with the comic book industry in general. Everybody gets sunk into familiarity, and that's the death of story and the death of fun, you know? I definitely love all the top-tier characters Marvel has as well. They're a ton of fun, but there are so many other great characters that are under the radar. We've seen so many of these books come out lately that there's just no support for. It doesn't matter the inherent value or quality of what's being produced. It just matters that people aren't familiar with the character. And maybe it has a lot to do with the economy. People have to budget and stick to what they know because that's what they're reading and branching out is expensive.
I get it, but for my two cents I would really have loved for the Sorcerer Supreme to be able to get a little more time to breathe. And beyond that, to see more of these guys that were born out of the '70s era given a chance to shine. And I think we will. I think it just takes a little time. I know the reaction to this mini-series at Marvel and with fans has been overwhelmingly positive. Hopefully we did a good job at shining a light on Jericho's little corner of the universe, and we'll see him around more often.
IGN Comics: And one of the earlier announcements from Marvel was that they're doing a Heroic Age anthology. You've got a Doctor Voodoo story in that book. Did Marvel approach you about continuing the story?
Remender: They did, yeah. Lauren Sankovitch, my editor on the book, and I had been discussing that the first arc of Doctor Voodoo is very dark. He deal with some very serious, serious things. We had some plans in the series for Jericho and Alexis, his love interest, going out on a date and showing some light-hearted, mischievous sort of supernatural shenanigans. I was really glad we got a chance to do it. I think it was a fun little story, and Chris Samnee really knocked it out of the park with the art.
IGN Comics: I guess my biggest fear when I heard about the cancellation was that they might quietly remove Jericho and give Doctor Strange his old job back. With the work you've been able to do, do you feel Jericho has been established enough that this won't be a problem?
Remender: That's all internal Marvel stuff, obviously, but I don't get that impression. I know that Joe [Quesada] and everybody really liked the character, and I don't imagine it's something where they're going to put this much time and energy revamping the Sorcerer Supreme only to switch it back to Stephen right away. Or ever. I'm not sure of the plans. I know there's a big supernatural event coming that Jericho is going to play a big role in. I know that there are big things planned. As for Stephen's role or Jericho's role, I can't really speak to it. That's not really under my control. But for me personally, I would like to see the character given a couple of years in which to establish himself.
IGN Comics: And he did show up in Deadpool a couple months ago, so I guess that's a start.
Remender: Yeah, yeah. I think a lot of it comes down to familiarity. Again, this is a new character. It just takes a little bit of time to establish him as he starts popping his head in and out. In the plans I have he's going to show back up. Beyond that and what Bendis has planned I'm not sure where we're going to see the character, but I sure had a lot of fun writing him and have an affinity for him. If the opportunity presented itself I'd definitely write him again.

inventory design pattern?
ive got a database design problem that i cant figure out. ive looked
around online quite a bit for any resources on design patterns that i
could try to use, but none of them seem to really fit perfectly. im
guessing id have better luck if i start looking in some books, but i
thought id try here first in case any one would be willing to help me
it seems like my problem would be a fairly common one, so maybe im
just thinking about this the wrong way. basically what i want is a
sort of inventory system where every item has a unique id. given this
id, (most probably input from a barcode) i want to be able to find
information on it. theres all kinds of very different items though so
all the items cant be stored in the same table. i found the subclass
pattern is about what i want... i store all the common information in
a base table, and keep information unique to each type of item in a
different table, with its key being the same as the key in the base
table. the problem is, i dont see how to know what table to look in
for the extended information given just the id?
thanks for any help in advance!

You need a field on your main table that indicates the object type, and which you can use to determine where to look up additional data.

HOUMA — The trial of a Montegut woman who shot and killed a dog that ran into her yard was continued Monday due to new evidence and reports, much to the dismay of the accused.
Precious Ridenour, 43, is charged with cruelty to animals and unlawful discharge of a firearm after the September shooting. Both charges carry a maximum penalty of six months in jail. Ridenour's new trial date is Feb. 14.
The trial was continued because both the District Attorney's Office and Ridenour's attorney, Amanda Mustin, received more photographs, witness statements and subsequent police reports. The arresting officer, Thomas Lewis of the Terrebonne Sheriff's Office, turned over the reports.
According to Ridenour and witnesses, a dog ran into Ridenour's backyard that Saturday and began to attack one of her five goats, which were tied up in different part of the yard, Ridenour said. After injuring one goat, the dog ran out of the yard before jumping a fence and returning, approaching Ridenour's daughter. Ridenour shot the dog through the chest on her property with a pistol, she said.
However, police and the dog's owner said the animal was restrained when Ridenour fired the shot and didn't pose a threat, claims Ridenour denies.
She says the dog's owner, Mona Christensen of Arcement Street, never got close to the dog to calm it down and take it out of the yard.
Christensen denies the dog, named Sarah, attacked the goats. Despite police reports that identified the dog as a pit bull, Sarah was a boxer-Shar Pei mix, she said.
Christensen said her dog ran into Ridenour's yard, but she was able to grab it by the harness. She said while she was holding the harness, Ridenour fired. Christensen was not ticketed for failing to restrain the dog.
On Monday, the trial began, with Christensen taking the stand. However, after a recess for lunch, both attorneys moved for a continuance in light of the new papers and evidence.
"It's very frustrating, but the best I've got to do is wait again," Ridenour said.
Ridenour added that she doesn't know what new reports or evidence turned up, but she will the next time she meets with her attorney.
Christensen said while it is odd that the trial stopped after it had started, she is willing to wait to have the right verdict.
"It's good on Sarah's part," Christensen said. "She gets what she deserves. You don't go randomly shooting a dog. Let it continue, let it go to trial, Justice will be served."

Why is social media marketing so important?
The speed at which social media has grown in popularity is nothing short of incredible.
Facebook has gained 800 million active users since its creation in 2004. Google+ is expected to gain half of that in little under a year.
The reasons why social media has become so popular are obvious.
Millions of people across the world have fallen in love with the ease at which they can communicate and share content with friends or colleagues across the world. Others love to use social media websites as a platform for gaming.
What is less obvious, but arguably just as important as the social usefulness of these websites, is how they have benefited businesses.
Social media marketing has helped thousands of businesses boost their brand awareness and communicate with new customers. It costs nothing but can help expose a brand to a potential audience of billions.
Word of mouth is regarded by many as the most powerful form of marketing in the world. Now, with a click of a button, individuals can publicly announce that they 'like' a brand on Facebook. What's more, every single one of that person's friends receive a notification of this announcement on their news feed. This is the sort of publicity that brands would beg for.
Brands can build a solid relationship with consumers by starting conversations via social media marketing. As well as being a medium to share good news, it can also be used to help customers with any queries or complaints that they might have about the brand.
In the past, business owners would be terrified of having bad press posted on the internet for the whole world to see. Whilst this is still a real fear for brands, they now at least have a channel appropriate for responding to any complaints aimed at them.
Ten years ago, most marketing experts would think you were crazy if you predicted there would be a channel available where you could reach billions of people for free.
Well, this is now a reality – and that's why social media marketing is set to be a big deal for some time to come.

See you can do it in two ways First Way: You can use a "while loop" to encounter the NULL value int the array as it denotes the end of the array. So run a loop till that variable and get the length/last element of the array. Second Way: As suggested by Syed, you can use this function to get the length of the array Length of the array = sizeof(Array)/sizeof(array[0])

Presented by the Rotary Club of Charleston, City of Charleston and the Charleston Sail and Power Squadron, the 3rd annual Holiday Parade of Boats viewing party will be held at the Charleston Maritime Center on Saturday, December 10 with sounds of the holiday season and captivating holiday lights on boats that will promenade past the viewing docks.
- Tickets are available in advance for $25 for adults; children 17 and under can attend for $5.
- VIP Friends and Sponsor packages start at $250.
Net proceeds from the event, which we hope eventually will rival holiday boat parades in places like San Diego, San Francisco, and Fort Lauderdale, will fund various charitable endeavors and community projects for our club.
"We are incredibly fortunate to be able to really live the Rotary motto of 'Service Above Self' through our community service projects and grant awards," said Club President Alissa Lietzow. "The Rotary Club of Charleston Foundation funds club projects both locally and internationally; from Operation Warm which provides coats and gloves to students at our partner elementary school to the installation of sanitation and clean water systems in Peru through Water Missions International. The Rotary Club of Charleston, through such fundraising support efforts as this Holiday Parade of Boats, has supported nearly 50 organizations."
This annual event helps to raise funds for the Rotary Club of Charleston Foundation! Every year, dozens of local organizations apply for funding for non-operating grants to pay for short-term projects or one-time needs. Through the boat contest and Parade Party, club leaders say they want to build the foundation's funding so more groups can get help every year.
Win A Boat — A Great Holiday Treat
Looking for the perfect stocking stuffer? The Rotary Club of Charleston is partnering with Sea Fox Boats and Palmetto Boat Sales to give away a Viper 180 Bay Boat. Those who make a $100 donation to the Rotary Club of Charleston Foundation will have a chance to take the boat home. The drawing will be held during the Holiday Parade of Boats Viewing Party on Dec. 10. Donors do not need to be present to win. Proceeds will benefit local organizations. Over the past five years, the foundation has given grants to more than 45 local nonprofit organizations.
The Rotary Club of Charleston
The Rotary Club of Charleston, founded in 1920, is the "father" club of more than almost a dozen Rotary clubs in the Charleston area. Club members have contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to local projects and have provided leadership that led to real ways to help people. Among the local institutions that the Rotary Club of Charleston helped to start are the Coastal Community Foundation, the local Boy Scouts movement and the distinctive Charleston Rotary Fund, which contributes to many admirable causes and awards scholarships.
City Of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs
The City of Charleston Office of Cultural Affairs celebrates the holiday season this December with Holiday Magic in Historic Charleston, offering FREE, family-friendly activities, performances and decorations that capture the spirit of the season for everyone in the community. For a full list of festivities, visit www.CharlestonArts.org.
Charleston Sail and Power Squadron
The Charleston Sail and Power Squadron is a Fraternal Boating Club whose members are devoted to continuing education in all issues concerning boating safety. Chartered in 1946, members and non-members may select courses from basic boat handling, to basic and advanced navigation, to advanced celestial navigation. In addition, members are offered courses in engine maintenance, weather, electronics and other electives. The squadron offers the America's Boating Course to the public, on a regular basis, as a Civic Service.

Hey Guys, Its Dexter
I've been playing Sion for about 12 months. I've experimented with almost every type of build with him and finally came to a consensus. I put together this guide to prove how Ad Sion can be viable in S4. When was the last time you played vs. Ad Sion? Level 3 games? Well now with this guide you can unexpectedly pick Sion to surprise your opponents with his lane domination. I don't usually play Sion in ranked because I get a lot of **** for picking him unless I can pick him as a counter. But I play him in normals all the time. PLEASE COMMENT ON ANY SUGGESTIONS OR QUESTIONS. I LOVE ANSWERING QUESTIONS YOU HAVE!!! Also, get Lumberjack Sion because it actually feels better with his mechanics. The weapon he uses is more precise and you know exactly when the attack animation will register.
I am still improving this guide and adding new content and fixing old content. Some stuff is kinda S3 like the team comps but you will get the idea. Give me a month; I have finals and then I will have time to add new things.
NOTE: You need to be decent at farming or you cannot play Sion.
Also, Don't forget to read the Notes that are with the items, they help A LOT!
**UPDATE** due to a recent Riot post, Sion will be getting reworked. It has been fun making this guide and giving people the right way(s) to play Sion. I will not continue to update the guide until the new Sion comes out. :)
Psychology playing Sion
This part will explain how Sion should be played.
- Sion Isn't for everyone, You may enjoy Sion if you play Nasus or Riven or even Udyr
- with Sion, try to appear really strong by harassing as much as you can early game and dishing out damage. Give your lane opponent an idea of your damage so they don't think that they can bully you
- Sion has a really strong all-in levels 1-6, use it.
- Sion is meant to be played as a hypercarry bruiser, not a hypercarry ADC. If you build him like an adc, all the enemy team has to do is burst you. So build tank and it will make the other team be hesitant to drop CC on you.
Pros and Cons
-Establishes lane domination easily
-Very good trading potential
-Easy to last hit with
-High early game damage with Enrage
-Scales well off CS
-Can 1v1 anyone at level 6
-Easy to cs under tower with.
-You are unexpected by your enemies to go AD until you get into loading screen.
-Item dependent
-Mana problems early if abilities are spammed
-VERY hard to master
-Gets camped in high elo
-Low Attack Speed
-Getting rework S4 :(
- Greater Quintessence of Attack Speed: You can take 2 of these and 1 Attack Damage Quint in order to benefit from big hits and still good attack speed.
- greater mark of Armor Penetration: You will need these for Mid Game to go along with your high damage because you don't have any abilities that scale off AD. You will also find these useful when hitting early game rocks like Malphite
- Greater Glyph of Magic Resist: This is pretty standard, I have seen people swap these out for attack speed and magic resist per level. Anything really works for Glyphs as long as it somehow benefits Sion.
- Greater Seal of Health: With this you can start long sword or cloth and be able to start your build instead of buying Doran's. And early game health is more beneficial than early game Armor, and there is some math behind it too.
Now this is the part everyone likes to F*ck up.
Alright feel free to argue with me on these, but I have done a lot of tests
|This item will make your crits hit like a truck. But this items is 3800 gold and will cost you an arm and a leg. If you do get Infinity edge, you must have an item that gives attack speed to go along with it (best option is Statikk Shiv). You may also consider buying Blade of the Ruined King to add stick potential. However, these are 2 very expensive items.
|Many people would argue that Blade of the Ruined King is a bad item on Sion. However, besides crit chance, this item gives Sion every stat he needs. It will allow Sion to stick to enemies and 1v1. This items is considered on many bruisers. This items is to be used in conjunction with your ultimate in order to provide a moment of utter prosperity and free reign.
|Statikk Shiv is an item many people would argue to be the most gold efficient core item in the game. The Avarice blade that you buy during the laning phase will quickly give you the funds to buy the Statikk Shiv. This item also features a passive that will help you burst. The 100 magic damage you get after 100 easy stacks will allow you to burst. If you by any chance crit the 100 magic damage, you will do about 500 mixed damage on that first auto attack. With your Q and W damage, you would have dealt 800 damage on your first combo ( Q-W-Auto Attack). With Cannibalism and Blade of the Ruined King active, you will finish off the enemy in a matter of seconds. This item is never a bad choice early to mid game.
|This item has received a lot of popularity because of its association with Sion's lifesteal from Cannibalism. With Ravenous Hydra, Sion can lifesteal huge amounts every auto attack. It can be used for burst, waveclear, lifesteal, and AoE. However this item leaves you with no attack speed, no crit chance, and vulnerability to being kited. To compensate, you would need to buy a zephyr
|Phantom Dancer has always been the stereotypical AD Sion item for its innate Crit Chance and attack speed. There is nothing wrong with this item, and infact its solely preference. But the major problem is the expense of the item and the little utility it gives ( Statikk Shiv gives waveclear, Ravenous Hydra gives Waveclear AoE, etc.). Most would argue that this item is not for season 4.
|Zephyr is a good item on Sion because of the inherent mobility it gives. The tenacity combined with the movement speed gives Sion the fluidity he needs. It's also important to buy Hydra with this because this item compensates for the little Speed (both attack and move speed) that Hydra doesn't give.
Summona spells
===Ghost Is meant for Teamfights and chasing down their Adc or Apc. Or for chasing down pesky Runners. I take ghost on Sion because It helps me all in during the laning phase. At level 6 or 7 i pop all my cds and tower dive, usually getting a kill. I like to get my opponent to 3/4 or half hp before i all in. Ghost is also useful for team fights. try to not get focused by their adc. when their team or your team engages ghost into their team and try to stun their adc if they are close. IF THEIR ADC IS TOO FAR BACK DO NOT TRY TO CHASE THEM. YOU WILL GET PEELED EASILY.can take ghost on sion since he doesn't have any natural stick. Also you take swap out Ignite for Exhaust. The new Exhaust buffs make it viable. But note that the enemy team will automatically know that you are going AD.
===I like teleport because it allows you to, 1) Farm in lane without missing waves 2) Teleport to drag for a team fight, 3) split push, and 4) defend turrets. If you will have a hard lane or their is a shen, or maybe just because you are more comfortable with this summoner spell. Its a good option, don't hesitate to take it if you feel the need to take it. If you are one of those REALLY aggressive players, then you might want to take ignite for kill potential. But if you wanna play chill Sion, then take Teleport.
===Flash is decent on Sion, You can escape an early gank and get finishing blows on opponents when they aren't expecting it. But its not good for sticking to enemies. Flash could be taken with ghost, which is better for late game, but Sion needs the early game ignite to pick up kills.
===Only get Cleanse if you know the enemy team will cc you hard. Eg. Nautilus, Vayne, Nasus, Thresh.
===decent spell on Sion. Will help you stick to adc or your laner. Even will help peel for your adc. this can be replaced for cleanse if you know the enemy team has a lot of cc. Also Exhaust + Ghost will give you the ultimate sticking power. Though with Botrk you will not need exhaust because of Botrk's active.
===Ignite gives you the early game pressure and aggressiveness that Sion will greatly benefit from. Ignite is used on almost every laner and will help you when you ALL IN. Take this spell on any healer, sustain, or squishy opponent. This spell can be swapped out for flash or tp if needed.
===F*** no
===ff 20
===Stop and think. You laning or jungling? that's right you laning. F*** this spell
Ranked Play
In a ranked game, I can't kill the other team's adc if they peel for the adc with cc. Instead I peel for my adc. When someone comes on my adc, i stun them and ulty in order to heal both me and my adc. Low elo you can probably kill the other team's adc or apc, Heck, you could pentakill. But in higher elo you will have to play a defensive role. If you pick Sion thinking you will dominate EVERY LANE, NO. Only pick Sion if you know that it will be easy to farm in your lane. I will state what lanes are easy to farm with later. When you play Ad Sion in ranked, you will also get a lot of **** from your teammates. It was like picking Tryndamere before Voyboy made it popular. Just don't focus on explaining why Ad Sion is viable. Just focus on the game. Then enemies will be very surprised to see AD Sion. Take advantage of this and play VERY aggressive.They will be surprised at how aggressive AD Sion can play. Use the brush when there is wait between the cs. Activate your w and come out of the brush, take a hit or some minion aggro before you pop the shield. Only stun them when you are sure you can get 2 auto's on them before they can fully retaliate. If you establish lane dominance, beware of ganks. If you are sure that you are safe (or you have a ward), then zone out your laner by activating w and leaving it on for 10 seconds. Before the shield explodes move away from the minions and try to explode it on the laner. Be careful to not spam W and Q. You will run out of mana.
Helpful Tips:
-Use Cryptic Gaze in between auto attacks because it does cancel your auto attack. If you practice, you can even cancel the enemies auto attack to win trades.
-Push as hard as you can levels 1-3 to get ahead in levels. You probably won't get ganked until level 2-3.
-Roam when you have ghost and try to arrange a gank with the jungler on mid lane.\
-Buy an upgraded trinket level nine to get more vision
[*]Sion's passive is very unnoticeable in lane. But it actually does a lot. Taking about 30-50 less damage for every 2/5 auto attacks. Playing against annoying auto attackers won't be so bad.
Sion's q costs sooooo much mana. It's not worth using it in lane unless you are getting/recieving a gank. You can use q to trade but don't trade unless you're opponent commits FIRST. Don't use this ability to get 1 cs. It's not worth the mana cost. But, if you're opponent decides to deal damage to you under the turret, use your q to stun them and force them to take tower shots. You can also use q if you are getting tower dived. Stun the person tanking the tower and they are almost sure to die, unless the jungler is super tanky and/or fed. Its not practical to tower dive Sion becuase he has a shield, stun, and much lifesteal.
Sion's w is actually very useful. It costs 70 mana but most of the time, it's worth using. It shields 100 damage at level 1 and 300 at level 5. The shield amount is also equal to the magic damage it deals. This is Sion's only AOE spell. In team fights it's useless as a damage dealer; just a shield. But in lane it can help with 1.trades and 2. pushing the wave. I like to build statikk shiv first because its synergy w AOE allows for a fast wave clear. Wave clear is something Sion lacks, making it hard for him to split push. Sion also benefits from every stat on statikk shiv PERFECTLY. Max w after e in order to wave clear and sustain trades. I had some people asking me why I max this WITH Enrage. That is a good question. I max Shield with Enrage because shield will help establish lane dominance. Shield will help soak up some extra damage and output extra damage. I USED TO max E every time I could but i realized that I wasn't ABLE TO FARM with it even though it gives more damage. By putting an extra point or two in shield, I was able to establish the slightest dominance in order to farm and waveclear. Try maxing if you don't agree with me and share your thoughts.
Sions e. It's like the bread and butter of Sion. So the main obective with Sion is to get cs in order to grant Max HP. Sion's e should be maxed before w but a few extra point can be put in w for the lane trades and wave clear. Sion's e should be on MOST of the time. Cases where Sion's e shouldn't be on is when you want to lifesteal some hp back (because of you Lifesteal Quints). That should really be the only case where E shouldn't be up.
This ability is what makes Sion's the best duelist in the game. But just because you reach level 6, doesn't mean you can 1v5 the other team. DON'T. You will get CC'D and you WILL NOT lifesteal enough. AT level 1 ulty, you only get 50% lifesteal and 50% attack speed, which is a considerable amount but ignite will deplete your resources. With most champions, you can 1v1 at level 6. You cannot 1v1 at level 6, Jax, Lee Sin, Riven, And Veigar cause he will nuke the S*** out of you. Most Ad carries can kite you super hard,so if you are up against an ADC in lane just lane swap, you will get NO CS. Anyways, Once you hit level 11, your ult gets 75% lifesteal, WHICH IS HUGE. Now you can 1v1 almost anyone with the correct items and cs. In teamfights, turn on your ult and stand next to your adc. Peel and tank for your team. The Ally healing radius is only 200 so stay very close to your adc. At level 16 it's getting into late game, you should have lots of cs and should have split pushed super hard. Your ult now has 100% lifesteal. However, you STILL cannot 1v5. at 45 minutes you can do whatever the F*** you want, but for now, you need to use your ult wisely.
Early Game
Many people say Sion has a rough early game. But the enormous AD he gets at level 1 or 2 from his Enrage allows him to make the best trades vs AD melee champions. Don't Cryptic Gaze in order to get 1 auto (unless you've been full mana for a while and want to establish lane dominance). Save your Cryptic Gaze for when your enemy commits to a trade. Cryptic Gaze them when they attack you to force them to take minion aggro. An early gank from your jungler will almost always guarantee a kill because of your high lvl 2 attack damage and V. If you do not kill your laner it will allow you to zone out the enemy and allow you to farm. Just always ask for an EARLY GANK if possible. Play the passive lane game where you only aggro if they aggro you. otherwise just mind your own business AND CS CS CS!!!!!
Mid Game
What to do in Mid game is dependent on 2 things.
1. Did you win your lane?
2. Is your team winning? (especially bot lane)
If you can answer yes to at least one of those questions you will most likely win. More importantly is if your team is winning. If their bot lane wins its going to be hard for you to win. But I will explain this later.
If you win your lane, good. But if you team is losing, not so good. You will need to go defend objectives rather than farm top all day. This includes going mid and defending the turret ready for a teamfight. if you have Teleport than you will be able to split push their top tower and help take drake/ defend mid turret. If you have Exhaust, Ghost, or Ignite then...you have to stick near your team. If their bot lane gets fed, you need to itemize in order to deal with being focused by their ADC (b/c you won your lane). Build a randuins and a Botrk to have mobility in the fights. Yommu's would also be good but you would have to build more tankier with the rest of your build. Mid game is THE HARDEST for SION because your ult still doesn't do much and you have no crit damage. The only thing you will have is some tankiness(if you won your lane) and mediocre DPS. If your team knows Sion's strengths they will avoid engagements until late game. The only exception to this is if you have Ammumu. His ult synergises with you so well. I will explain more about team comps later. Try to get through mid game defending objectives and moderately farming. try to get maybe 200 cs by 30 minutes. Again you have to be good at csing in order to successfully play Sion.
If you don't win your lane, but your team is winning that's better. You can stay top and farm up while pushing tower while your team handles the objectives. If your laner starts roaming follow him. You don't want your teammates in 4v5's. But if dragon is not a threat to be taken, your team can waveclear mid tower enough to sustain until you are able to take a tower top (assuming your team picks a viable mid laner with decent wave clear, eg: Orianna, Syndra, Kassadin, Casseiopia, Mordekaiser, Zed etc.)
Mid Game is the hardest phase for Sion, try to rush the Mid game with turret pushes top.
Late Game
(+30 minutes) Sion starts becoming deadly and adds pressure at this point. With decent farm, nobody can 1v1 you. You have the stick and the damage to take down anybody. BUY WARDS. don't facecheck because that could cost your team the game (higher-mid elo). protect your adc and soak up damage. don't go in like an assassin because you will get kited (guaranteed or your money back). You'r not immortal because you have a lot of HP. If you choose to go the tankier build then by all means tank and apply pressure to their APC and ADC. (+50 minutes) by this time you have your build complete and are getting some extra consumables and what not. Its pretty much GG at this point. You can 3 shot most people. Pick up a Guardian Angel IF YOU DIDN'T BUILD TANKY. Gaurdian angel will save you if you get kited too hard or bursted too quick. If their was an AD Zhonya's Hourglass item, You would get it, but GA does the job fine. Replace your boots for a Zephyr. no matter how late in the game, farm is still important!!!!
Team COMPS
Team COMPS
You cannot play Sion to his full potential without a proper team comp.
Viable Comps have immobalisers like roots, stuns, slows, fears, and knockups.
Best Team Comps
All Junglers that can lockdown a few targets are good. Supports that can be aggressive will help you get onto targets. So Leona is good synergy. Adc's that need peel or have cc will help you. Amummu and Nasus I found to be good synergy because you can duo steamrole the entire enemy team. Nasus and you become monsters late game. And when Nasus ganks its almost always a kill with your Cryptic Gaze. Teams need to have a good deal of roots and stuns benefit Sion a lot more than teams with just high AOE Damage
ALL-IN ing
As Sion, you have the ability to pop all your Cooldowns and all in at level 6.
The way you do is simple
Death's Caress--Wait 1 second--Walk towards enemy-- Ghost-- Cannibalism--auto attack-- Cryptic Gaze--auto attack--pop Death's Caress--ignite--auto attack--auto attack--auto attack-auto attack...
If you have Blade of the Ruined King, then use it shortly after you stun them, if you have Hydra, then use it in between an auto attacks.
Note: Always Stutter Step when chasing.
This video Explains how and much more
Lane Match-Ups
|You will get out harassed, and you will get out-sustained. Shen will exploit your little sustain to Vorpal Blade your a$$. Trade with Shen right after his passive is consumed by a minion. This lane is pretty easy to farm in because Shen won't be able to kill you, and you have Teleport. You can build any Core Option, but consider a Last Whisper if the Shen is a Thornmail buttf*cker. Jungler help won't do much besides slow down Shen's ability to get tanky. You should be able to get 80 CS by 10 minutes, so keep farming and you will beat Shen. Also, try to Counter-Teleport-Gank-When-Shen-Stand's United-To-Bot-Lane Gank in order to turn a the tides of the fight. If you are at Shen Turret, however, it may be beneficial to just take his turret and farm, freely, the top jungle.
Farm Early game like any other champion.
Don't use any abilities to cs, unless it's Death Caress and all the minions are at 15%.
When you get Statikk Shiv:
1.Activate your Death Caress 5 seconds before you get to the minion wave
2.auto attack the first 3 melee minions.
3.pop Death Caress.
4 clean up the rest of the minions (there should be about 3 minions left each only needing an auto attack)
This process should only take 5-6 seconds to clear 1 wave.
I hope you guys understood the mechanics and concepts to playing AD Sion. He takes about 8-9 games to start winning and after that you should independently make decisions on your playstyle. You will most likely not win your first game (Unless Bot lane wins) and you will get Trash Talk from your teammates for picking AD Sion. BUT **** THEM. AD Sion NEW META. Please comment on any suggestions, Sion is very versatile and is open to many different builds. Please suggest any ideas you have in the comments. PLEASE VOTE UP AND COMMENT I LOVE TO READ COMMENTS. Thanks!

Park Geun Hye Has Denied Any Wrongdoing At First Court Hearing
Park Geun Hye has denied all involvement in the massive corruption scandal that could see her locked up for life.
The recently impeached Park Geun Hye appeared after more than a month in detention for the first court hearing relating to events that led to her being kicked out of office in March.
The hearing, which took place on May 25, hopes to bring truth to the allegations that surround Park and her close friend Choi Soon Sil. The pair is accused of taking bribes worth $52 million from Korean conglomerates Samsung, Lotte, and SK as well as sharing government secrets, abuse of authority, and coercion, among others.

iOS 5.0.1 Begins Showing Up In Cydia SHSH List
As you can see, iOS 5.0.1 has begun appearing in the Cydia SHSH list.
Something that we had not expected today was for iOS 5.0.1 to start showing itself in the Cydia SHSH list. This is the first appearance of iOS 5 in Cydia's SHSH list to date. It seems that Cydia has begun showing support for the new firmware and while it is still unconfirmed at this point in time - we might be able to start using Cydia's server for downgrading at some point in time. Before today, Cydia stopped caching firmware SHSH blobs at iOS 4.3.5.
What does this mean? It could mean quite a few things; it could even mean nothing. It could mean that a workaround for downgrading iOS 5 firmwares is being worked on so that we can use Cydia's server for downgrading as iOS 4 always has been able to do. It could mean that Cydia is starting to save newer firmware SHSH blobs for no reason. Whatever the case, it appears to be a tunnel with a bright light up ahead.
With the iOS 5.0.1 untethered jailbreak right around the corner, pod2g handed his data over to the Chronic Dev Team, this could mean that the development teams are also working on a way to save iOS 5 SHSH blobs and APtickets both locally and remotely just like we would see on iOS 4. When on iOS 4, upgrading to a firmware and then jailbreaking it would upload your new SHSH blobs to Cydia and you would see them appear on your Cydia main page.
At this point in time, we don't have enough information about it. When we hear more, we will be updating you on the news. But for now, be aware that they are up to something over there.
What do you think iOS 5.0.1 blobs showing up in Cydia might be signaling? Share your thoughts in the comments.

My 5.0.1 showed up in Cydia yesterday when I took my iPad 1 running iOS 4.2.1 GP and upgraded to 5.0.1 redsn0w. Didn't realize that was news! Makes sense though... Agreed that great things are in sight!

No offense Anthony, u post good articles most of the time but this one is crap. I noticed the shsh for 5.0.1 In Cydia yesterday and opened this article thinking u actuall had some real news on what this meant for us "users". But it doesn't. It's a case of "premature reportalation" lmao. Please don't take offense to this. I'm not ripping on you but u could've gathered a few more details before posting this. I'm sure most of us don't know any more info than what we knew before we read it. I, myself appreciate all of you guys at modmyi and the hard work u do for us. Please find out what's up with the blobs and let us know in a post

There are three main telescope designs, refractor (lens-based), reflector (mirror-based), and compound (both lenses and mirrors). Each scope has benefits and drawbacks depending on what you will be observing and where you will be observing from.
1. Refractors. A refracting telescope is the oldest telescope design. The first refracting telescopes were spyglasses intended for terrestrial purposes that were turned skyward. Galileo's pioneering discoveries were all made with a very basic refracting telescope. A refracting telescope uses a lens to gather the light. The lens is shaped so that the light is bent (refracted) down to a focus point. After the focus point, the image is flipped and continues a short distance before hitting a diagonal mirror which then flips the image back to right side up and directs it into the eyepiece at the same time. Because of this, refracting telescopes can also be used for terrestrial pursuits, such as bird watching. This is the basic anatomy of a refractor. Although two refractor designs will be dealt with, the difference in the two types is in the glass used, not the design.
Achromatic refractor. Achromatic refractors are refracting telescopes with a lens made of two individual pieces of glass. Commercially made achromatic refractors usually range from 2 to 6 inches in aperture. The focal ratio usually ranges from f/5 to f/12. While these are the most common standards, achromatic refractors can go over 6 inches in aperture or over f/12 in focal length. It is virtually unheard of for a refractor to be less than an f/5 length. Achromatic refractors provide unrivaled image sharpness because of a clear aperture and color contrast, which is created by using a lens. An achromatic refractor will easily out perform larger scopes of other designs in the area of contrast and sharpness. While usually marketed for planet and double star observing, achromats of about 3.5 inches or larger are really excellent all around telescopes, except in the faint galaxy department where more aperture is needed. Because of the high color contrast, refractors are by far the best type of telescope to use in light polluted settings because the object being observed stands out well in contrast to the dark background.
There are two major drawbacks with an achromatic refractor. First, the eyepiece is at the base of the tube, which means that the eyepiece can be quite low when observing objects high in the sky. However, the height problem can be fixed with mount extensions to raise the scope.
The second problem is chromatic aberration. Because the objective is made of standard glass, it is difficult to bring light to a single focus point at focal ratios under about f/12. The colors of the spectrum have different wavelengths, red having the longest and violet the shortest wavelength. The goal of the lens is to bring these colors together at a single point to create an image. However, the glass used in achromatic refractors can not accomplish this task completely unless the lens is a long focal length. Because of their shorter wavelength, colors on the violet end of the spectrum are not brought to focus with the rest of the colors. The result is a purple halo around bright objects, especially noticeable at higher powers. Views of chromatic aberration vary. While some people easily ignore it, other observers are driven crazy by the false color. Long achromats, about f/15 or longer, can virtually eliminate chromatic aberration on all but the brightest objects, but the length can be a problem, especially for larger aperture scopes.
Apochromatic/ED refractors. Apochromatic/ED (Extra Low Dispersion) are interchangeable names for refractors that retain all the high contrast and crystal clear sharpness of an achromat while eliminating the chromatic aberration. Without a doubt, apo refractors provide the best images per inch of aperture of any telescope design. The key to the apo refractor is in the glass. Apo refractors use anywhere from a two or sometimes even a five element lens design. With extra layers of high quality ED glass and strategic spacing in between, an apo refractor can bring all the colors of the spectrum to a single focus, eliminating any false color. Apo refractors are usually at least 2.5 inches in aperture and some companies even offer apos over a foot in diameter. The focal length is, like the achromat, at least f/5. Large apo refractors are an astrophotographer's dream scope. For photography through a telescope, nothing can beat the combination of pinpoint sharpness, high contrast, and lack of false color that only an apo refractor can provide. Like other refractors, an apo can be raised with a mount extension to bring the scope up to a more reasonable height. With all of these features going for them, apo refractors are probably the closest thing to the perfect telescope. However, with apo refractors, there is a downfall. For all of these perks, any would-be apo owner will have to pay a premium price. A 3 inch apo optical tube with no accessories selling for $500 is a bargain. A fully outfitted 4.5 inch achromat with a tripod and accessories can be bought for about the same price. But if money is not an object, an apo refractor is probably the best way to go.
Summary. Refractors, of all the telescope designs, are the most expensive per inch of aperture. But if you have the cash, a refractor is well worth the extra investment. Refractors offer unrivaled image clarity, making them the obvious choice for anyone who likes to observe planets and/or double stars. The internal baffling of the tube can greatly reduce internal glare, boosting the color contrast of your targets. The high color contrast of a refractor lends itself nicely to light polluted areas. Another perk of a refractor is the greater light transmission. Refractors average at least 90% light transmission, with some premium refractors being tested at as much as 98% light transmission. On the other hand, the best reflectors only transmit about 75% of the light collected to your eye. Because of the high contrast and greater light transmission, a refractor can outperform larger scopes of other designs for even deep sky objects, especially from cities and suburbs. Another perk of a refractors are their size, which makes them easily portable. Achromatic refractors, especially those over 4 inches, are great all around performers and the economical refractor choice for a beginner. Another big advantage: a closed-tube design, which means no internal dust, and the fact that it is virtually impossible to knock a main lens out of alignment without trying.
Reflectors. Physics pioneer Sir Isaac Newton, bothered by the lack of high quality refractors on the market at the time, built the first reflecting telescope around 1668 (exact dates can vary). Reflecting telescopes use a set of mirrors to gather light. The primary mirror for a reflector is housed in the rear of the tube. The light enters the tube, bounces off of the main mirror toward a small secondary mirror, which then directs the image up through the eyepiece. Unlike refractors, the image in reflectors stays upside down.
The modern reflector is essentially unchanged in design from the first one built by Newton and has the mirror arrangement as described above. Commercially built Newtonian reflectors can range anywhere from about 4 ½ inches to three feet, yes three feet, in diameter. The focal ratio of a reflector is typically an f/4 to f/8 range. Because of their smaller aperture, small aperture reflectors are typically longer in focal length. Because of their large diameter, large reflectors are usually at the short end of the length spectrum. An example of this fact is the following comparison. A six inch, f/8 reflector is a common design at about 48 inches long. A ten inch, f/4.5 is another common design, about 45 inches long. A long focal ratio, large aperture reflector would just be too difficult to handle. Not many people would want to mess with a ten inch, f/8 reflector about 80 inches long. The focal ratio determines what the telescope is best suited for. Long 6 inch, f/8 reflectors are good all around performers, but are somewhat limited to a narrow field of view because of the long focal length. An f/4.5, ten inch reflector is best suited to deep sky observing because of its large aperture and short focal length, which allows for a generous field of view. Probably a good, middle of the road choice is an eight inch, f/6.
Advantages of the reflector include the mirror light collection system itself. With a mirror, chromatic aberration is not an issue. Also, a mirror located at the rear of the tube is less prone to collecting dew than a lens at the front of a refractor or compound design. The reason many beginners go for reflectors is the cost. A Newtonian reflector is the cheapest design per inch of aperture of all telescopes. However, there are drawbacks to a reflector.
One drawback is due to the mirror system. The pair of mirrors must be kept in line. Collimating, is the process of aligning mirrors and this will undoubtedly have to be done sooner or later. When it comes to handling, Newts are the most fragile of telescopes. Another drawback of the mirror is that the reflective coating will need to be replaced with enough time. Bulkiness is an issue for some people. Many reflectors are typically about four feet long with apertures of up to a foot. This may prove too large for some people to want to carry outside very often. For many astronomers, by far the biggest complaint about Newtonian reflectors is the secondary mirror. The small secondary mirror is supported by a four pronged "spider" at the front of the tube. The "legs" lead to diffraction spikes appearing on stars. While to some people, the spiking is aesthetically appealing, it is an annoyance to others. Even for people who think the spiking just adds to the beauty of the stars, the secondary mirror obstructing the tube definitely degrades the image sharpness/contrast. Because of the obstruction caused by the secondary mirror, no reflector will ever match a refractor in the clarity and resolving department. However, the clarity and resolving ability of a reflector is not bad at all, it just is not quite as good as a refractor. Also, while refractors are greatly limited in size because a lens is only supported on its periphery, a mirror can be supported underneath, allowing for giant telescopes. Some companies offer ready built reflectors of up to three feet in aperture.
Summary. The simple Newtonian reflector is by far the cheapest telescope design around. Because of the cost, a six to eight inch reflector is often considered an ideal choice for a beginning astronomer. Reflectors offer some decided advantages over other designs. First is the low cost. Reflectors are also the least likely design to be effected by dew formation. Another benefit of the mirror is the lack of false color. The older Newtonian design offers these benefits but has some disadvantages. Mirrors will occasionally have to be realigned and refinished. Diffraction spikes provide varying reactions. But the undeniable drawback is the clarity. While Newtonians can split double stars and resolve detail in the cloud bands of Jupiter, a refractor will always be better for clarity and contrast. The new clear aperture reflector design offers great potential. With the lack of false color and clarity, apo refractors may soon be challenged as the best telescope design around.
Compound. The compound design is a relatively recent idea that uses a system of mirrors and lenses to produce an image. The light enters the telescope through either a front plate or corrector lens. From there, the light travels to the rear of the tube to the primary mirror. After reflecting off of the primary mirror, the light travels forward to a small secondary mirror attached either to the corrector lens or front plate, depending on the design. From the secondary mirror, the light is directed back toward and through a hole cut in the primary mirror, finally reaching the eyepiece. Because of the back and forth reflecting, a compound design telescope tube is much shorter than either a reflector or refractor, despite being of often longer focal lengths. The two most common designs here are very similar visually to a beginner, the differences in the fine details.
Maksutov (Maks) use a spherical, meniscus shaped corrector lens in the front of the telescope. This corrector lens is the distinguishing feature of a Maksutov design. Maks are of often a longer focal ration than the Schmidt design (mentioned later). The longer focal length results in a less steeply curved primary mirror, which means less need for image correction. For the secondary mirror, Maks use an aluminized section on the back of the corrector lens. This is easier than mounting an actual mirror but by using the back side of the corrector as a secondary virtually fixes the focal ratio of a Mak, usually at f/15. Although the field of view of a Mak is quite small, the small secondary ups the contrast compared to a Schmidt. Also, because of the use of a glass corrector lens in the front, Maks are usually limited to about six inches. Any greater aperture would be too front heavy because of the large lens.
Schmidt. The Schmidt design uses an aspherical corrector plate as the front objective with a secondary mirror mounted on the back of the plate. The corrector plate of a Schmidt is more complex that the corrector lens of a Mak. The Schmidt corrector plate appears flat, but is actually thicker in the middle and around the edge. Unlike the Mak, the Schmidt design uses a real mirror mounted on the back of the corrector plate. Unfortunately, the secondary obstruction of the Schmidt is the largest percentage of any telescope design, which degrades image sharpness. The good news about the Schmidt is that it is shorter, typically f/10, allowing for a wider field of view than the Mak. Because of this, Schmidts are better for deep sky viewing. Because of the lighter corrector plate, Schmidts can be built bigger, up to two feet for commercially built models.
As with everything else, though, there are disadvantages. Like Newts, compound designs are obstructed by a secondary mirror, which will degrade image clarity/sharpness somewhat. Like refractors, with front-mounted optics, these scopes are also more prone to dewing up, especially considering that, unlike refractors, they are often sold without dew shields! AS for the biggest problem of the compound design it all has to do with the focusing. Unlike refractors and Newts, which are focused by racking the focuser in and out, this changing the length of the scope, the compounds are focused by moving not the eyepiece, but the main mirror, which creates two problems. First, and most common, mirror flop. Swinging a compound scope around the sky can actually defocus the scope because the main mirror will slide around, albeit slightly. Second, because the tube is not sealed, moisture can actually get inside the scope, resulting in inner dew and, if the scope in not allowed to dry, fungus.
Summary. When it comes to portability, nothing beats a compound design. Models under six inches are an ideal scope for any astronomer who likes to travel. The great advantages of the compound design revolves around the short tube design. With the short tube, looking into the eyepiece will never feel like a stretching exercise. Large scopes are still compact for their aperture and are a common choice for anyone considering building an observatory with a permanently mounted telescope. Like the reflector, chromatic aberration is never an issue. Maksutovs have small fields of view but provide clearer, higher contrast images because of the smaller secondary mirror. Schmidts are shorter and can be built bigger, but at the price of having a substantially larger secondary mirror than the Mak. Either way, size wise, nothing beats a compound design.
What is best?
The question of what is the best telescope has no right or wrong answer. What constitutes an ideal scope is determined by where the scope will be used and the preferences of the observer. In only a few situations can any actual recommendation be given with confidence. If you live in a light polluted city where only planets and bright stars are visible, a small refractor is the way to go, unless you know of a dark site you can go to in the country. Even a 60mm refractor at high power can be used to successfully reveal the cloud bands of Jupiter, the rings of Saturn, and split many double stars. From a bright city setting, trying to find deep sky objects will be a futile search, making a large aperture, deep sky scope useless for its intended purpose. For observers living under dark skies where the Milky Way is easily visible, aperture should be the goal. Because deep sky objects will be easily seen, the largest telescope that can be easily taken outside would be the ideal scope. Just be careful not to go too big. A scope too big to transport easily will probably hardly ever get used. A small compound, under 6 inches, is ideal for anyone who likes to take their hobby out on the road. Some small scopes can be made to fit a lightweight camera tripod, which are perfect for traveling astronomers. For anywhere in between, and recommendations are hard to give. A great piece of advice for someone buying a telescope is to go to a star party and look through as many types of telescopes as possible. The best way to discover your personal preferences is to look, reading descriptions can only go so far. According to many astronomers, the best telescope is one that will be used and not left to sit and collect dust in a closet.

Before iOS 8, the iOS jailbreak community was pretty much cold and did not see any exciting activities or developments. However, with the release of iOS jailbreaks by leading teams like TaiG and Pangu, the iOS jailbreak scenario picked up pace steadily. This gave a lot of jailbreak teams a chance to showcase their talent, which ultimately led to the PP team entering the scene.
Image : PP Jailbreak for Windows
Once known for its 25PP jailbreak app store, the PP team was initially pretty-much unknown to the users, which is why everybody was sceptical to try out the PP iOS 8.3 jailbreak when it released. However, it soon became known that the PP jailbreak was very secure and more stable and error-free than the TaiG tool. The PP team was the first to release the iOS 8.4 jailbreak tool and also was the first to release a jailbreak tool compatible with Mac OS X. This made PP quite popular in the iOS jailbreak community.
Though PP has been involved in a controversy with TaiG for allegedly stealing TaiG's jailbreak exploits, there has been no looking back for PP. The team has released Chinese as well as English versions of its PP jailbreak tool across Windows and Mac platforms. The PP jailbreak has been trusted thoroughly and is known to be bug-free. So you can safely use the PP jailbreak without any worries.

Kirksey earns honor as he continues to be difference maker
BEREA, Ohio — He definitely looks like a keeper.
Third-round draft choice Chris Kirksey has been one of the few bright spots thus far on the Browns defense. Kirksey led the Browns in tackles against the Rams, including a tackle for a loss.
However, Kirksey made the biggest defensive play of the game when he intercepted a pass from Austin Davis and returned it 23 yards to the Rams 13 to set up the Browns second touchdown.
"Jim O'Neil, our defensive coordinator, called a great play," Kirksey said in describing the play. "And I just backed up in my zone and the quarterback tried to throw it over my head and I just made a play on the ball."
Kirksey (6-2, 235) was voted on Tuesday as the winner of the Maurice Bassett Award, which is voted on by members of the local media as the most outstanding rookie in training camp. Bassett played for the Browns from 1954-56 and the award began in 1985.
Although Kirksey has been termed the "co-starter" with Craig Robertson at inside linebacker, his level of play has been noticeable. He leads the team with 18 tackles, two passes broken up and an interception.
Mike Pettine was asked if he has been the most impressive rookie to date.
"Yeah, I'd put him up there with (Joel) Bitonio though," Pettine said. "He's been very consistent as well, but yes, we're very pleased with where Chris is.
"Not to take anything away from Craig, but I think they both played well enough to merit being starters in our different groupings. I think that always ends up being a plus for you on special teams as well because they're sharing jobs on defense and can play a lot of (special teams coordinator) Chris Tabor."
Veteran linebacker Karlos Dansby praised Kirksey for his work to date.
"Perfect – he's a great player," Dansby said. "He's learning. It's his first year so he's having fun out there. That's a good sign."
Kirksey is appreciative of Dansby's praise.
"He's been in the league for 11 years so when you get a guy like that to say something good it's always an honor," he said. "I learn from him every day. I'm always picking at his brain so just to hear him say that is really encouraging. It just makes me want to strive to get better."
Kirksey is excited to be contributing thus far in the Browns defense.
"It feels good whenever you make a big play, especially that changed the momentum of the game," he said. "I know my teammates, Karlos and Craig were kind of done for the day and Craig was just telling me to go out there and have fun and try to make a play. Once I made that play, it was just good to celebrate with my teammates. I'm just looking forward to making plays down the road."
Cameron Back: After missing Monday's practice as "excused," TE Jordan Cameron was back on the practice field. Pettine wouldn't disclose what the reason was for him missing practice.
Pettine was asked if everything is back to normal with Cameron.
"That would be a correct statement."
Cameron missed some time with a shoulder injury but didn't appear as if he was bothered by anything medically as he was taking part in the drills open to the media.
Burleson Progressing: WR Nate Burleson practiced in individual drills on Monday and then took part in team drills on Tuesday.
"We'll see how he comes out of today," Pettine said.
QB Brian Hoyer said he caught a touchdown pass from him in team drills.
"It was good to have him out there," he said.
Last year, WR David Nelson was in a similar position as Burleson. He was held out of training camp for the most part as he returned from a torn ACL, played in the final preseason game and was released in the final roster cut downs.
Nelson later joined the Jets during the season and had a productive year.
Position Battles: Pettine said that there are still some roster spots up for grabs.
He mentioned wide receiver, inside linebacker for the "last one or two spots." He also mentioned defensive line and safety.
"There's a few (roster spots)," he said. "That's why it's important to compete. There's more than a few unsettled."
Wide receivers still battling for positions behind Miles Austin, Andrew Hawkins, Travis Benjamin and Burleson are Marlon Moore, Taylor Gabriel, Charles Johnson andWillie Snead.
Linebackers behind Dansby, Kirksey and Robertson are Zac Diles, Tank Carder, Justin Staples, Jamaal Westerman and Eric Martin.
Defensive linemen behind Phil Taylor, Ahtyba Rubin, Desmond Bryant, Armonty Bryant, Billy Winn, John Hughes are Ishmaa'ily Kitchen, Jacobbi McDaniel and Calvin Barnett.
Safeties behind Donte Whitner and Tashaun Gipson are Jordan Poyer, Jim Leonhard, Josh Aubrey and Johnson Bademosi.
Gordon Trial Postponed: WR Josh Gordon's trial for DUI has been re-scheduled for Nov. 18 according to his lawyer Trey Fitzhugh. Gordon was stopped for traveling 50 mph in a 35 mph zone on July 5 in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Gordon was on the practice field as he continues to wait on an impending suspension from the NFL for substance abuse.
Injury Update: The following Browns did not participate in Tuesday's practice due to injury: DL Desmond Bryant (wrist), DB Pierre Desir (knee), DB Joe Haden (foot), LB Eric Martin (concussion), DB Buster Skrine (thumb) and DB Isaiah Trufant (knee). – NFI: OL Nick McDonald (wrist).
There were three players on the stationary bikes, all defensive backs in Haden, Trufant and Desir. Skrine and Bryant had surgery last week.
Eubanks, Bowie to IR: The Browns placed OL Michael Bowie and LB Darius Eubanks on injured reserve. Bowie started eight games, seven at right tackle, one at right guard, in 2013 for the Super Bowl Champion Seahawks.
Eubanks was on the Browns practice squad in 2013 before being elevated to the active roster where he played nine games, with one start. He had 15 tackles and three tackles on special teams.
Both players underwent surgery earlier this month to repair shoulder injuries.
The Browns roster is currently at 76 players. All NFL rosters must have a maximum of 75 players by 4 p.m. Tuesday.
New Guys: Cleveland Browns on Monday were awarded OL Karim Barton and OL Donald Hawkins on waivers. Both players were undrafted rookie free agents signed by the Eagles.
Barton (6-3, 313) played at Morgan State, while Hawkins (6-4, 310) played at Texas.
Hawkins was practicing during the period to the media and was wearing No. 69, while Barton was not seen on the field, but will wear No. 63.
Next Up: The Browns will have a closed walk through on Wednesday and then play the Bears in the final preseason game Thursday at 8 p.m.

HILLSBORO – The Piasa Birds swarmed the arc and denied the Hillsboro Hiltoppers room to launch a game-tying 3-pointer as the final seconds clicked off the clock Thursday night.
The comeback for a 58-55 victory was complete and the impressive flock of Birds fans that filled bleachers from the floor to the rafters behind the Southwestern bench rewarded their team with a standing ovation.
And after a moment of celebration, the Southwestern girls basketball team and coaches gathered on the court in front of their bench and returned an ovation of appreciation for their fans among an energized crowd estimated around 1,000.
"We got excited," Southwestern coach Steve Wooley said. "Now, we've got to refocus and get it done next week."
The Birds still have league dates with Roxana and Gillespie next week before they can claim a third straight unbeaten run to the South Central Conference championship.
"Coming off that win, I think we're going to be more excited than ever to finish it off," Southwestern senior Maddy Greeling said, "and say that it's ours."
The 5-foot-6 Greeling, the greatest player in the program's history, turned in one of the greatest performances in a career that has produced Associated Press Class 2A all-state recognition, 2,029 points and 109 victories.
Greeling scored 28 points, including back-to-back 3-pointers in the opening 63 seconds of her 20-point second half. Greeling's three-point play midway through the fourth quarter brought the Birds all the way back from a 28-14 second-quarter deficit to a tie at 43-43.
And Greeling went 4-for-4 from the foul line in the game's final 29 seconds to thwart comeback efforts from a game Hillsboro team that is tall and talented.
But Wooley also praised his point guard for "incorporating the people around her, getting everybody involved in the game," the coach said. "When we can get that balance, along with her play, we can be a tough out."
It was a victory earned by Southwestern, not given away by Hillsboro. The Toppers repeatedly made winning plays in the closing minutes. But the Birds made more.
Senior guard Erin Laubscher provided a spark, scoring five of her nine points in the last four minutes and teaming with Greeling to handle the basketball mistake free when the Birds spread the court late to kill the clock.
Junior Jenna Moore scored all of her seven points in the last nine minutes, beginning with a 3-pointer that drew the Birds within 39-36 after three quarters. And senior Karlie Green hit two free throws to extend Southwestern's lead from one point to three with 52 seconds remaining. Senior Kelsey Rhoades matched Laubscher with nine points for the Birds.
"We've learned early on, you can't win with one, two players," Greeling said. "You have to have a team. Even chipping in five, six points, it makes a difference in the game. I'm just so proud of my team."
The biggest minute – actually 30 seconds — in the game was pressure fueled by the Birds. Laubscher's steal at midcourt and layup tied the score at 45 with 3:43 left in fourth quarter. Another quick Birds steal off the press set up Greeling's 15-foot jumper to put the Birds up 47-45 with 3:28 left.
And a third straight steal led to a flurry that found Moore open, with a foot on the arc, for a basket that put the Toppers behind 49-45 with 3:14 left. Laubscher's two free throws gave Southwestern its biggest lead at 51-45 with 2:15 left, but Hillsboro answered with 3-pointers from Denzelle Moore and Lindsey Storm on its next two trips to prevent the Birds any comfort.
"We battled and had a shot to tie it up," said Hillsboro coach Bret Tuetken, whose team missed a foul shot that would have tied the game at 54 with 10 seconds left. "Just couldn't get that last free throw to drop."
The victory was the 18th in a row for the Birds, who are 22-3 and 7-0 in the SCC. Hillsboro is 21-4 and 7-1 in the league. The Birds are ranked No. 2 in the Class 2A state poll, moving up one slot to the position vacated by the Toppers after losses to Class 3A foes Salem and Highland dropped Hillsboro from No. 2 to No. 5 in the poll.
Postseason seeds released earlier Thursday had Southwestern at No. 1 and Hillsboro at No. 2 in a sub-sectional feeding into the Beardstown Class 2A Sectional. That means the Birds and Toppers would only meet again in the sectional title game at Beardstown on Feb. 18.
"They're senior laden," Tuetken said of the Birds, with six seniors among the seven who saw action Thursday. "I know this is a year they've been looking at as far as being able to go a long ways. Hopefully, we'll see them again."
