Having faced each other in recent seasons, the Parklane Pioneers and Starkville Academy Volunteers are anything but strangers.
Yet for as well as the two teams may know each other, Parklane will bring a new twist to Starkville for a 7 p.m. game on Friday.
"We've completely changed offenses," said Parklane head coach Bo Milton. "We were a spread, zone-read team last year and we went more traditional out of the 'I' this year.
"We've got a couple of bigger running backs than we've had the last couple of years. Our quarterback was probably not the same type we needed to run the spread, so we've just went more traditional and are trying to keep everything a little bit more balanced."
So far this year, Milton says his squad's new approach has been met with mixed results.
Even through the struggles, Parklane sits at 5-2 overall and 1-1 in conference play.
Milton says much of that can be attributed to a defense that has made life easier for a new offensive plan.
"It's been kind of a slow process getting to where we want to be (offensively)," said Milton. "But we've played pretty good defense all year. That and special teams have really been our strong points.
"We haven't been as consistent on offense as we'd like to be, but that's because we've got some young kids in some areas that are a little inexperienced. But we're getting better and our kids are working hard."
One individual who Milton has used to contribute in all facets for the Pioneers is Justin Brent.
Brent, a multi-positional talent, has emerged as Parklane's most consistent player according to Milton.
"(Brent) plays a little bit of everything," said Milton. "He's our return guy for punts and kickoffs. He'll play some flanker. He plays some tailback. He starts at corner. He just does everything and is probably our most well rounded player."
Aside from Brent, Parklane also relies heavily on tight end/linebacker Zach Smith and split end Taylor Smith.
Milton calls Zach Smith the leader of the Parklane defense, while Taylor Smith has 30 catches and six touchdowns this season.
Milton knows he'll need contributions from Brent, Zach Smith, Taylor Smith and others for Parklane to leave Starkville with a victory.
"This is the third year we've played (Starkville Academy)," said Milton. "Each year, it's just been night and day, from two years ago to last year to this year. They were well-coached last year and played hard, but you could tell things weren't clicking for them like they wanted it to. Well, it's clicking now.
"We'll have to come out and play our very best ballgame."

UK Students Watch Hoops During Class
While college football is the bread and butter at most schools in the SEC, Kentucky proves yet again that it's obsessed with basketball.
And we mean everyone at UK, even professors teaching night classes. Check the photo below, which was provided to Kentucky Sports Radio, of the Wildcats' 78-58 victory over Florida on Tuesday being shown during a class.
As The Dagger pointed out, there doesn't seem to be many students in the class in the first place - and frankly, why would there be if UK was playing at the same time, right?
Big Blue Nation's devotion is unmatched and that professor really knows how to earn favor with his students.

Small Changes that Lead to Bigger Muscles
By: Scott Quill
More Fitness Lists
A Broader Back
1. Embrace Depression
Before a set of lat pulldowns, grab the bar with an overhand grip and your hands slightly wider than shoulder width. Squeeze your lats to pull your shoulder blades down (it's called scapular depression), lowering the bar just a bit. Hold for a second, then let the bar rise back up. "This helps focus the move on your lats," says Murphy, who owns Total Performance Sports in Everett, Massachusetts. Do 10 to 12 depressions, then begin your lat-pulldown routine using the same technique to begin each repetition.
2. Issue a Retraction
After you depress your shoulder blades to begin a lat pulldown, focus on retracting, or pulling your shoulder blades together.
3. Stand at the Seated Row
This on-your-feet row will train your back muscles and rear deltoids in a more functional, athletic-stance position, says Brun. Attach a parallel-grip bar to the low pulley and pull it toward your midsection. (Keep your abs drawn in.) Pause, then slowly let your arms extend back out in front of you.
4. Row with One Hand
Working your middle trapezius—a tough muscle to target—can add bulk to the region between your shoulder blades and improve your posture, says Brun. Attach a single handle to the low pulley on the seated row and grab it with your right hand, palm facing down. As you pull the handle, twist your upper body so the handle moves toward your right hip. When your elbow is behind you, squeeze your shoulder blade in toward the midline of your back. Pause when the handle reaches your hip, then return to the starting position. Repeat the move with your left arm.
5. Roll Away Back Pain
Using a foam roll can help your core muscles recover faster and with less pain. Lie on the floor, place a roll under your lower back, and move back and forth over it. Buy two (go to MensHealth.com/foam) and use the second one for the next tip.
6. Roll in Strength Gains
Build your core and back stabilizers with this move from Rankin. Get down on all fours and place one foam roll under your left hand and one under your right knee. Lift your right arm and left leg at the same time (straighten your leg). Maintain a flat back and a tight core. Pause, then return to the starting position. Move the rolls under the opposite hand and knee, and repeat the movement.

'Porgy and Bess': Gershwins revived but oversimplified
Five minutes after the curtain falls on "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess," the audience should still be cheering. Their hands should hurt from clapping, their voices raspy from shouting "Bravo!"
The revival, the seventh on Broadway, indeed gets some of the audience to their feet for a fast and genuinely happy ovation, and I was among those who wanted to show the cast how great they were. But it's not one of those sustained celebrations of theater. It is not what this genuinely important and magnificent piece of work deserves.
That has nothing to do with anyone on stage because each actor is wonderful. The production never quite catches fire the way it should. Songs feel rushed and too much is explained even for newcomers to the show.
It should be one of those magical nights at the theater because this is a musical for the ages. George Gershwin, the composer, also penned "Rhapsody in Blue." DuBose and Dorothy Heyward wrote the libretto and lyrics. Ira Gershwin, who co-wrote the lyrics, was the first songwriter to win a Pulitzer. Even if you think you don't know the score, chances are you know some of the hits: "Summertime," "I Got Plenty o' Nothing" and "It Ain't Necessarily So."
Broadway veteran Norm Lewis and four-time Tony Award winner Audra McDonald ("Private Practice") star, and David Alan Grier ("In Living Color") plays Sporting Life, the gambling, boozing, city slicker.
McDonald is a reigning queen of Broadway for a reason. She hits every note perfectly -- not just in the songs, which is expected, but every emotional high and low, every possible nuance of the deeply tragic Bess.
A woman with a past and a present, who struts her stuff in a sexy red dress and black stockings while the other women wear shapeless dresses, Bess aches. She loves to drink and snort, she's had many lovers and knows how to gamble. For this, the God-fearing women of Catfish Row shun her.
Until the kindly Porgy, a cripple, takes her in. Lewis and McDonald are magical together. But as he drags his left leg, turned painfully inward, does he need to keep telling us that he is a cripple? The audience can pick up on some cues.
Grier is nothing short of a blast channeling the late great Cab Calloway, who played -- as the character was then known -- Sportin' Life (without the "g"). And Phillip Boykin makes a wonderful Broadway debut as Crown, menacing and powerful with a voice that never ends.
Ronald K. Brown's choreography is clean and on target, most noticeably with the African dance at the picnic scene and the slow movements at the funeral. Christopher Akerlind's lighting is sharp. But the set is too minimalist.
It's still an opera, though the controversy surrounding this version at the Richard Rodgers Theatre stems from changes by Suzan-Lori Parks ("Topdog/Underdog"), who adapted it, and Diane Paulus ("Hair"), who directed. The revisions are apparently to make "The Gershwins' Porgy and Bess" more accessible.
It's the story of poor, hard-working blacks living in 1930s coastal South Carolina. There is love and hate, babies and death, suspicion and belief. How much more accessible does it need to be?
"Porgy and Bess" is an incredibly important and historic work. As Playbill recounts, it opened in Boston in 1935, and two weeks later (and 45 minutes shorter) it hit Broadway. The original cast starred Todd Duncan, also a professor of voice at Howard University. When the show traveled to the National Theatre in Washington, D.C., in 1936 and it was segregated, Duncan refused to perform. The cast stood with him and the National Theatre was desegregated.
It's not that a bad time is had here; it just feels a little too much like "Porgy and Bess for Dummies." The actors and audience deserve it undiluted.

Drunk driving permits approved as suicide prevention method in Ireland
The Kerry county council in Ireland has approved a measure that would allow for the creation of drink-drive permits, allowing motorists to drive in rural areas if they have had "two or three drinks."
The Guardian reports the measure was brought to the council by a local government official, Danny Healy-Rae, who claims allowing such activity would help combat depression and suicide in the area.
Healy-Rae, who conveniently owns a pub in the county, claims the move will help lonely people who have been without a social outlet since stricter drinking and driving laws were enacted. He also insists, "They're travelling in very minor roads, often on tractors, with very little traffic and it's not right they're being treated the same as the rest of the travelling public ... and they have never killed anyone."
The proposal was approved with a 5 to 3 vote, yet many county officials have distanced themselves from the measure. Gillian Wharton-Slattery, the Irish Labour councillor, astutely points out, "Depression causes suicide. It's not caused by not being able to go to the pub."
What do you think? Is this a dumb move by the Kerry county council?

England cruised to a nine-wicket victory in the second Test against West Indies at Trent Bridge to move into an unassailable 2-0 lead in the three-match series.
Set 108 to win in their second innings, the hosts reached their victory target for the loss of just skipper Andrew Strauss around half an hour after tea on day four.
Earlier in the day England had dismissed West Indies for 165 with Marlon Samuels - who made a fine century first time around - again providing stubborn resistence, this time making an unbeaten 76 to ensure the tourists reached some sort of respectability.
But any faint hopes Darren Sammy's men had of pulling off an extraordinary victory were quickly extinguished as England knocked off the runs in serene style, Strauss the only man to depart as he was caught off the bowling of Samuels for 45.
Resuming in the morning on 61-6 with first innings centurions Samuels and Darren Sammy at the crease, England found West Indies in much more resolute form than on the third evening.
The pair started confidently, Sammy off the mark immediately and Samuels flicking his fifth ball of the morning for four.
They continued busily, Samuels caressing a cover drive for four to bring up his side's 100 and a lead of 52 after an hour's play.
It took a drinks break to disrupt Sammy, man-of-the-match Tim Bresnan trapping him leg before on the back foot three balls after the interruption for his fourth wicket - a review from the Windies skipper proving in vain.
New man Kemar Roach made a lively start to his innings, taking three boundaries in four balls off Broad - two authentic attacking strokes either side of a mis-cued hook off the glove.
Successful review
Samuels dropped a gentle single to bring up his half-century, in 130 balls, but Roach departed when Anderson claimed England's sixth lbw - DRS reversing an initial not-out verdict.
At lunch the tourists were 83 in front and Samuels scored seven more after break before losing Shane Shillingford to the under-used spin of Graeme Swann - who did not bowl at all in the morning session. Shillingford, held at slip by Anderson, lasted 22 balls but did not trouble the scorers.
Joined at the crease by number 11 Ravi Rampaul, Samuels, realising time was running out, smashed 16 runs off one Swann over, including two huge sixes to take him to 76.
But he had no chance to make any more as Anderson had Rampaul caught at third slip by Bresnan to end the innings on 165.
England began their chase in sedate fashion, with just two runs in the first four overs before Strauss took on Roach's short ball and twice pulled in front of square for four.
Cook remained cautious, but after Strauss had run his fourth boundary to third man as Sammy joined the attack, Cook cut away Shillingford for his first four of the day.
His second was soon in coming as he flicked Sammy down to fine leg and by that stage England were already past the halfway mark.
By now the tourists had accepted their fate, demonstrated when wicketkeeper Denesh Ramdin allowed a Strauss edge to sail past him without attempting a catch.
The tourists did claim one scalp after tea when Strauss unexpectedly chipped Samuels to Darren Bravo at cover, five short of his half-century, but Cook and Jonathan Trott (17no) completed the job, the latter winning it with four to fine-leg.

Leadership in Chaordic Organizations
By Beverly G. McCarter, Brian E. White
Series Editor: Paul R. Garvey, Brian E. White
Auerbach Publications – 2012 – 311 pages
Auerbach Publications – 2012 – 311 pages
Supplying a clear vision of how to build high-performance teams, Leadership in Chaordic Organizations presents methods for improving operations through the application of complex systems engineering principles and psychological counseling techniques. Ideal for systems engineers, organizational managers, coaches, and psychologists, it addresses the fundamental issue of the human condition in systems development.
The book considers the dynamic variables inherent in the human condition and how they impact group dynamics. Helping you to demystify complex system behaviors, it details an approach to leadership that integrates elements of neurobiology, systems engineering, complexity science, philosophy, and evolutionary and social psychology. It defines complexity and its impact on the organization and also explains how conflict can actually be constructive in group settings. Sharing helpful tips on how to build trust in today's environment, the book also:
Illustrating what teams and collaborative groups look like in a decentralized environment, the text introduces a highly effective group communications process invented by Richard Knowles—describing its use in designing 3D Immersive Learning Environments that enable complex emergence in dynamic interactive simulations. It also discusses complex human systems (Wicked Problems) and the potential of multi-user virtual environments to provide the transformative vision needed to fully engage all employees in your drive to make your organization more effective, efficient, and sustainable.
For this book, Beverly Gay McCarter, and Brian E. White have gathered, organized, and interpreted an immense amount of information. They bring together the thinking from chaos and complexity theory, psychology, neuro-linguistic programming, and neuroscience, helping readers better understand the nature and challenges of leadership … .

Beverly Gay McCarter
Beverly Gay McCarteris an award-winning architect of immersive virtual environments whose company, Human Mosaic Systems (www.HumanMosiacSystems.com), is located in Cary, North Carolina (Research Triangle Park). She received her MS degree in counseling psychology and human systems from Florida State University and her MFA in studio art from the Memphis College of Art. She is also certified in the areas of facilitating self-organizing systems for complex environments (the Center for Self-Organizing Leadership) and the design and architecture of virtual worlds (University of Washington).
While working as an independent contractor at the National Defense University in Washington, DC, she instructed faculty and Pentagon leadership in the navigation and use of virtual worlds, in addition to coordinating and executing the efforts of the Federal Consortium for Virtual Worlds to bring the federal government into virtual worlds. McCarter is an architect/designer of 3D immersive virtual environments focusing on the psychology of the avatar and virtual worlds, the inherent complex dynamics involved, as well as the impact of the aesthetics of 3D immersive environments on complex human systems. She has advised the Pentagon virtual simulation teams, a solution provider for Linden Labs' Second Life virtual world, and currently works in a variety of other immersive virtual platforms. As a facilitator, McCarter has worked with the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, DC, among others, facilitating group discussions untangling the "wicked problems" of social interactions that overwhelm today's organizational structures.
McCarter is an award-winning artist, focusing on human dynamics and the inherent effects of complexity and the edge-of-chaos on human consciousness. Her work emphasizes the ability to "see" multiple perspectives and the complexity of who we are, and our relationships with others.
Through the integration of these areas of expertise, McCarter designs powerful immersive environments that enable self-organization and collaboration as well as a deeper understanding about one's own perspectives or views of reality and those of others. She architects environments that understand the underlying complex human dynamics and help facilitate the building of relationships, bonding, and greater understanding, all of which help individuals collaborate as they make decisions in complex, ever-changing environments.

Eleanor has turned out to be quite a commodity. After a few struggles with some types of bread I couldn't quite master, I decided to try her in rolls rather than a loaf. Goddamn, I make good decisions.
When it comes to food, anyway.
So I made pretzel rolls. I cut one in half for John and me to try and I have to say these turned out nothing short of perfect. Keeping my fingers busy typing this out right now is the one thing helping me fight the urge to get up and devour all of these. So. Effing. Good.
And here's how I did it:
1 1/2 cup Eleanor (or bread starter, in case you're new).
1/3 cup light brown sugar
2 tbsp melted butter
2 tbsp warm milk (like 100 degrees or so)
4 cups all-purpose flour (I kinda wished I had bread flour for this, but if it's not broken…)
2 quarts cold water
1/3 cup warm water (hot from the tap will do)
1/2 CUP baking soda (yes, you read this right)
Coarse sea salt
In a large mixing bowl. add the starter, butter, milk, and brown sugar (if you're vegan, soy milk and Earth Balance will do to sub for milk and butter). Stir and make sure that the brown sugar is dissolved. Then mix in all of the flour and the warm water until it forms a firm, almost non-sticky dough. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface and knead for 2-3 minutes. Make about 9 or 10 evenly- sized balls, and to form the rolls pinch the sides and pull dough underneath the rolls so the top is tight and round. Arrange on a greased or non-stick baking sheet. Cover the rolls with lightly oiled plastic wrap and let them rise for an hour or more.
Preheat the oven to 425.
Bring the two quarts of water to a rolling boil in a large pot, and then add the baking soda. It will go POOF! into lots of magic little bubbles. Two at a time, boil each roll 15 seconds on each side (put the top side in first) and with a slotted spoon or tongs let them drain over the pot before you return them to the baking sheet. Decoratively cut "X"'s on the top of the rolls and sprinkle with the sea salt.
Bake for 10 minutes on the top rack or until they're a nice dark brown, and then move to the bottom rack to bake for an additional 3-5 minutes.
This is what I pulled out of the oven:

Frequently Asked Questions
Have some questions about the JBoss Enterprise Application Platform?
Q. What is JBoss EAP?
A. JBoss Enterprise Application Platform (EAP) is the productized version of JBoss Application Server (AS). It's the culmination of thousands of hours of QE, bug-fixes and co-ordination to make sure you can be as productive as possible building your apps.
Q: What happened to 7.2.0.Final?
A: 7.2.0.Final was always the basis for EAP 6.1.0.Alpha. Due to the new wide-availability of 6.1.0.Alpha, and for simplicity reasons, we've released just one release called EAP 6.1.0.Alpha.
Q. Why are we doing this?
A. To make it easier for more developers to get access to the product binaries and provide feedback to the AS / EAP team earlier than the current model makes possible. There is a more complete explanation on Mark Little's blog.
Q: If EAP 6.1.0.Alpha is the same as community 7.2.0.Final, why is it called Alpha?
A: EAP has a much more conservative and rigid release hardening process, including extensive quality testing and partner certification. Historically every EAP release starts from our most recent community final, and then releases in stages as this hardening work is performed. The first EAP stage Alpha is of equivalent, or better, quality to a community Final release.
Q. Are there any restrictions on how I can use EAP 6.1.0 Alpha?
A. No – it has the same license and terms as AS releases however as it's an Alpha release we don't recommend using it in production.
Q. Will the Beta release have the same Terms and Conditions as the Alpha?
A. Betas will be available as part of a zero-dollar developer subscription.
Q. Will you also release EAP 6.1.0 CR / GA and future EAP 6.1.x point releases in the community?
A. Major (x.0) and minor (6.x) EAP releases (other than Alphas which are freely available) will be available with a paid production subscription or with a zero-dollar developer subscription. Security updates and patches are only available with a paid subscription.
Q. How do I upgrade from a developer to a production subscription?
A. Read about getting a Red Hat subscription.
Q. What do I get with a production subscription?
A. Read about Red Hat subscriptions.
Q. Is the source available?
A. Yes – it's in the source bundles on the download page.
Q. Is there a Maven repository for this release?
A. That is our goal but it may appear some time after the initial Alpha release.
Q. Will this release work with JBoss Developer Studio?
A. JBoss Developer Studio 7 Alpha1 available from devstudio.jboss.com/earlyaccess has initial support for EAP 6.1, JBoss Developer Studio 6.0.1 will be released in the near future with similar support.
Once the release enter Beta more complete support will be added to JBoss Developer Studio 7.
Q. Will this release work with JBoss ON?
A. Formal testing of EAP 6.1.0 with JBoss ON will happen when the Beta release is available.
Q. Where do I get help?
A. Developer-level support for this release is available on the EAP Developer Forum.
Q. I found a bug in this release - what do I do?
A. Ask some questions on the EAP Developer Forum to determine if it is a bug. The team will then guide you on creating a ticket at http://issues.jboss.org/browse/JBEAP
Q. Can I run the Alpha binaries in a production environment?
A. Yes, Alpha releases may be run in any environment.

Process for Filling PSA Positions
- Obtain and complete an Authorization to Hire (ATH) form and attach a copy of the position
description and ad copy, indicating where the ad
will be placed (ad placement is usually done by Human Resources, so you may want to
coordinate this with HR). Forward to the Office of
the Dean or Director of the affected department (whichever is applicable) for approval.
Upon the Dean's or Director's
approval, the form will be forwarded to the Vice President for your division, the
Budget Office where the Position Control Number (PCN) is
assigned, and, finally, to the Office of Human Resources.
- Alist of potential committee members should be forwarded to the Office of Affirmative
Action. There must be both female and minority
representation on this committee. You may recruit from outside of the department
in order to fulfill this requirement. The
chair of the committee should contact the Office of Affirmative Action to set up the
necessary search training for the members of the
committee. If any member has not received this training within the past year, they
will be required to complete the training.
- When the search deadline has been reached, the applicant roster listing everyone who
has applied for the position will be forwarded to the
Office of Affirmative Action from the Office of Human Resources. We will then begin
to identify the race and sex of each
of the candidates based on the information in the VAAF cards received from the applicants
(these cards are sent to the candidates by Human
Resources with the letters of acknowledgement). At this point, the search committee
may begin to evaluate the resumes to
determine the best candidates to interview for the position. When the committee has
determined which candidates they would like to
interview, you must contact the Office of Affirmative Action with the names of these
candidates. The Senior Director of Affirmative
Action will review both the overall pool and the interview pool for diversity. If
there is diversity in the overall pool but none
present in the interview pool, the committee may be instructed to conduct a second
review of the resumes to see if a member of the neglected
group (i.e. female, minority) is suitable to be invited for an interview (Affirmative
Action will provide a list of the names of the
candidates in this group). If the committee still feels that none are acceptable,
a memo is required to be sent to Affirmative
Action justifying the exclusion of these candidates by comparing their qualifications
to those of the candidates who have been selected.
Once this is approved, you will be notified by the Office of Affirmative Action that
you may proceed with the interviews. Do not set
the interviews until you have received this approval.
- When the interviews are completed and a selection has been made, a Hiring Report must be submitted to the Office of Affirmative Action. This report is done in a memo format and addressed to Ricky Walker, Senior Director of Affirmative Action. The Hiring Report should include: the PCN, the names of the committee members, a list of the publications in which the position was advertised, the names of the individuals interviewed, the name of the selected candidate, the anticipated starting date and anticipated starting salary. Attach to this report a copy of the selected candidate's resume and forward to Affirmative Action. This report may be faxed, in order to save time, to extension 8402. When the report has been approved, you will be notified that you may extend a verbal offer to the selected candidate and the approved report will be forwarded to the Office of Human Resources. HR will then produce the official letter of offer to the candidate. Once this letter has been signed by the selected candidate, (their acceptance of the position), the hiring department should contact HR at extension 1478 or 1477 to enroll the new employee in the next orientation session. Also, the Staff Personnel Action form must be completed to insure that the new employee is entered into the payroll system. The Business Manager for your division will assist you in the completion of this form.

Much like nitrogen, your mom's beef stroganoff and clouds in the shape of bunnies, the sport of golf is really underrated. Appreciate the fine art of golfing with today's Groupon: save up to 65% on one, two or four tickets to the Expo 18 Golf Expo.
- Pay R25 for one ticket to the Expo 18 Golf Expo, valued at R50
- Pay R45 for two tickets to the Expo 18 Golf Expo valued at R100
- Pay R70 for four tickets to the Expo 18 Golf Expo, valued at R200
The people involved in the Expo 18 are a bunch
of self-proclaimed golf crazy, club flailing, people-loving, grass-obsessed
free-thinkers who believe that golf is for everyone; not just old men in plaid.
This is why they've gone out of their way to organise an expo to prove just
that. At the Coca Cola dome, this golfing expo will showcase exactly what golf
has to offer and whatever queries, questions and misconceptions you may have
about golf will be answered by the trained and overly enthusiastic staff.
Living in rugby-crazed South Africa, explaining to friends and family that you're a golfer may be tantamount to admitting you have a foot fetish or you like to wear diapers. Invite your loved ones to the expo to show them that golf can be just as interesting and exciting as playing Rugby, minus the casualties and plus the plaid.
Whether you're a curious newbie or a seasoned veteran, the Expo 18 will have something for everyone. Not content with handing out flyers about the glories of golf, the expo allows every attendee the opportunity to pick up an iron, driver or putter and tee off with the help of a pro. If you're already a golfer and clued up about Baffys, Banana Balls and Bogeys, you can also enjoy finding out about the most cutting edge equipment and gear from some of the world's biggest golf brands. One day at Expo 18 is all it will take to open your eyes to the exciting world of golf and get you hooked enough to invest in a tee, putter and plaid making factory.

The deaf helping doctors learn more about dyslexia
Dyslexia affects millions of our kids. It makes reading and writing a frustrating challenge.
But a special group of kids is providing valuable insight into the disorder.
Carson Cecchini was born deaf, but he's made remarkable progress. As a toddler, he got cochlear implants.
The cochlear implants capture sound waves around him then feed them directly to nerves near his brain.
His mom Donna Cecchini says, "He could not speak. And now I have a child who reads and speaks and laughs and he doesn't have to go to speech therapy."
It's just that kind of progress researchers were hoping to chart when they launched a study nearly a decade ago.
The idea was to follow more than one hundred children for years to see how cochlear implants might help them learn.
But then researchers noticed something else.
Dr. Susan Nittrouer, with Ohio State's Wexner Medical Center says, "Once you begin to scratch the surface, you often find that these children have language deficits than can affect their performance in school."
In fact, the language issues these kids have are remarkably similar to dyslexia.
Doctors know that kids with dyslexia have problems seeing letters in the proper order.
But in a new study, Dr. Nittrouer says these kids may have shown hearing plays a vital role as well.
"We can really connect the dots between their perception, the kind of signal that they're getting, and the sort of language problem that results."
Dr. Nittrouer says by poring over a decade of research on these kids, scientists may be able to detect signs of dyslexia-like issues much earlier.
Most kids aren't diagnosed until around third grade, but Dr. Nittrouer says, "We were able to identify these emerging problems in these children at kindergarten."

Radiata Stories
8.0 / 10
Tri-Ace is known for their success with the Star Ocean series and now they have released their newest entry of real-time role-playing games, Radiata Stories. This game is not the most impressive RPG on the market, but it has a different vibe to it and is a welcome change to the RPG genre. Most RPG fans know that the Final Fantasy series can be a little too serious at times (FFVIII did it for me) and could benefit by lightening up a little. Radiata Stories does just that. It is whacky, the characters are misfits -- some of them are just plain goofballs -- and it's all in good fun.
The story begins with a young man named Jack Russell who is the son of a legendary knight. Jack has no idea just how legendary his father was, but one day he swears that he will surpass his old man so he attempts to join the ranks of the Radiata Knights. Before Jack can join the Knights, he has to defeat Ridley Silverlake in battle. Humiliated by his defeat at the hands of the young girl, Jack's dreams of becoming a Knight are crushed. However, he achieves the rank of a Radiata Knight with a little pull from the superiors who let Jack in because of his father's reputation. Jack, now a Knight, is paired up with Ridley and Ganz, who is on the overweight side. Not too far in the game, Ridley gets injured by blood orcs and a light elf sacrifices his life to perform a "transpiritation" ritual to save Ridley from certain death. The brother of this elf grows angry at the humans and decides to wage war on them.
As you can see, Radiata Stories can be really serious at times, but there is always a healthy amount of humor to lighten the mood for when it falls too dark. The result is a good storyline that will leave you wanting more.
cannot complete his lengthy quest alone. He will need the aid of allies
and friends and this is where party members come in. But getting some extra people to join your party can be a real
pain. It resembles Konami's Suikoden series with its 108 Stars of
Destiny. For those who do not know what the hell I am talking about,
this means that players must travel around and find characters that are
eligible to be in Jack's party. The thing that can be a real pain is
the accomplishment of certain tasks in order to get that person to agree
to accompany Jack and his current party.
Battling enemies in Radiata Stories is fun, but it is not as engaging or dynamic as the battles in Star Ocean 3: Till the End of Time. However, Radiata Stories can hold its own ground and is not just a simple clone of Star Ocean. Each move takes up a different amount of CP. Every weapon available to Jack has a different amount of total CP. Some moves take up 3 CP while others can take all the way up to 4. During my play through the game I found a sword that could hold up to 15 CP points. It was my best sword in the game which means you have to be wise when
picking Jack's moves. Every weapon, whether it is a sword, axe or spear, Jack will be forced to learn each move. There is also a move per each weapon that has its own unique " volty" blast. Think of volty blasts as a special move or limit breaks from Final Fantasy VII (there's even a volty blast called limit break). Volty blasts are powerful attacks and the movements look cinematic, but the frustrating thing is learning them. To be able to unlock each weapon's volty blast, players will have to make sure that Jack learns every move the weapon has to offer first.
Your AI companions can also learn volty blasts; however, it gives no indication of when they learn them. Speaking of AI companions, unlike Star Ocean you can only take control of Jack, whereas in Star Ocean you can take control of different party members with a simple touch of a button. This to me was the biggest disappointment of Radiata Stories. You can give your NPCs (non-playable characters) commands, but it still would have been nice to be able to take control of them.
Battling the AI is not too hard, but in certain cases, it is not a breeze either. Some enemies will give you a worthy challenge, boss fights in particular. Right before every boss, there is a save point which is a relief because if the player dies, you don't have to start over from the beginning.
are a pain. (By "normal" meaning outside of the "story
missions.) You will meet a person who has a job offer for you (telling
you their life story for good measure), and then
you go on their quest and fight plenty of monsters on the way.
Eventually you reach the boss and defeat him for the reward. I think there
are around fifteen of these missions in total and most are just
uninspiring and lack a great deal of fun. The reason for this is because
even though you are told where to go, there are a lot of little specific
details missing and players will end up getting lost a lot. By doing a
certain amount of these missions, the player will finally unlock another
story mission. Good news is that there are more story missions than
there are normal missions. It is only at one point of the game where you
must complete more than a few non story related missions at once.
Sometimes, during cutscenes, players will have to make decisions in terms of Jack's response/decisions to the situation at hand. Without spoiling much, there will be a certain point in the game where the player has to make the most important decision of all. This decision will greatly affect Jack's quest from that point. One of the decisions will end up with Jack allying with the humans, while the other decision will end up with Jack allying with the non-humans (elves, dwarfs and such).
In terms of graphics, Radiata Stories has some bright, colorful environments. It is an atmosphere that suits the game well, especially because it all seems like an Anime. Character models are three dimensional but they do give off an anime vibe with their big eyes and their less defined noses and lips. Unlike most RPGs, when the player equips different outfits or armor on Jack, he actually wears it. In most RPGs (Final Fantasy games for example) the characters always look the same no matter what you equip them with.
Voice acting came as a surprise. It is not half bad at all. In fact, it is some of the best quality voice acting that I have heard in a while. Some characters do sound goofy, but it was intentional to fit Radiata's humorous mood. The music is not as sharp as the voice acting, but it is still enjoyable to listen to.
What it all comes down to is that Radiata Stories is not a ground-breaking game, though it's generally a pleasing experience, and it is definitely not for snobby role-playing twits. However, there is still a lot of fun to be found and this game should be given a fair shake.

Section Information
Section Description Provided by Instructor
This is a basic course in corporation law. Some background in accounting and corporate finance is helpful, but not required. The course is open to upper-year law school students (JDs and LLMs); students from other departments or schools need the permission of the instructor. Grades will be based on a final exam as well as in-class participation. This course emphasizes economics, corporate finance, and mergers and acquisitions. Thus, in addition to case study of merger transactions, the course employs problem sets to focus discussion. Active participation is expected. No major or minor writing credits are available.
The course examines the role of law in structuring economic relationships among shareholders, management, creditors, and other participants in modern business corporations. It emphasizes counseling and planning, resolution of disputes among corporate participants, business background, statutory developments, and social and economic policy considerations.
The course briefly considers basic theories of the firm and the reasons for incorporation of a business enterprise. We then address agency and its implications for the corporate form. The course then turns to management and control of the corporation, the actions of directors and officers, and the distribution of powers within the corporate structure more generally. The role of shareholders is examined next, with an emphasis on proxy regulation of shareholder voting under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, including recent changes to those regulations.
The course then devotes substantial attention to the fiduciary duties of directors and controlling shareholders, with particular emphasis on the law of Delaware. We then consider the appropriate role of management in particular contexts, particularly executive compensation. Next, we closely examine transactions in corporate control through a case study of a public-company merger, and in that context we consider the permissible scope of anti-takeover devices. The final portion of the course briefly addresses regulation of insider trading under Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5.
NOTE TO STUDENTS ON THE WAIT LIST: Professor Jackson is happy to consider students not admitted to the class through the Course Lottery for registration. If you wish to register for the course but are not admitted through the Course Lottery, please send send Professor Jackson's assistant, Sara Kuperminc (email@example.com, a short description of your background and your interest in the course no later than January 14, 2013.
