NC State Basketball
Wolfpack Closes Out Exhibitions with Win
(We apologize for the delay on this weekends articles. There were things outside of NC State sports that both of us had to take care of. Thank you for understanding)
RALEIGH, N.C – The NC State men's basketball team closed out the exhibition portion of its schedule with an 87-62 win over Morehouse on Saturday at PNC Arena. The Wolfpack put five players in double-digits, as all 13 players who dressed saw action during the game.
Sophomore forward T.J. Warren recorded his second consecutive double-double, equaling his exact stat line from Wednesday's game, with a game-high 26 points and 10 rebounds. Junior guard Desmond Lee scored 13 points for the Wolfpack, while junior guard Ralston Turner and freshman guard Anthony 'Cat' Barber each had 11 points, respectively, with Barber adding a game-high six assists.
Freshman forward Kyle Washington added 10 points and came one rebound shy of a double-double, with nine boards on the afternoon.
"I thought overall, playing two exhibition games helped our team and helped our young guys," said NC State head coach Mark Gottfried. "Even from the first game to the second, we got a little bit better. I liked our team defensively at times, we were quick, and we are learning how to help each other and when to help each other. We need to learn how to communicate better, but at times we done a pretty good job defensively."
For the second consecutive game, the Wolfpack held a strong advantage in fast break points, outscoring Morehouse 21-4 in that respect. Moreover, State shot a crisp 54.4 percent from the field, including 42.9 percent from beyond the arc, led by Warren who connected on 11-of-15 shots. Defensively, State clamped down and allowed 23 fewer points than its previous outing, as the Tigers shot just 39.1 percent on the afternoon.
"We got better as the game went on, but that is going to be the question for our team," Gottfried said. "Can we rebound with a smaller lineup on the floor? I thought we took a step forward and got better. It is time to move forward and get to play real games."
With the game tied 4-4 at the outset, State outscored the Tigers 25-8 over a 10 minute span to take a 29-12 lead at the 9:49 juncture of the first half. Warren scored nine points during the stretch, igniting the Wolfpack run with five straight points and ending it with an emphatic alley-oop dunk on a pass from Lee.
Morehouse closed the gap to six points at the 6:13 mark of the half, however the Pack responded with a 13-2 run to close out the half and take a 44-27 lead into the locker room.
Following the halftime intermission, Warren scored eight of State's first 16 points as the Wolfpack built a 60-35 lead. State led by as many as 25 on three separate occasions before pushing the advantage to 75-46 following a three-point play by Barber. From there, the Wolfpack maintained a working margin of no fewer than 21 points the rest of the way as Gottfried was able to clear the bench in the final two minutes.
D'Anthony Relaford led Morehouse on the afternoon with 17 points.
With the exhibition season now over, the Wolfpack will take on Appalachian State at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 8 at PNC Arena in the season opener for both teams.

Students will:
- Explain the primary functions of each branch of the United States government.
- Complete cloze passages in an online game to review how the checks and balances system ensures an equal distribution of power among the three branches of government.
- Computers with internet access for BrainPOP
- Interactive whiteboard
Preparation:This lesson plan uses an online social studies game from Sheppard Software called Checks and Balances. We encourage you to preview the game prior to introducing it to your students.
Lesson Procedure:
- Project the Checks and Balances game for the class to see. Read the initial screen together and discuss it.
- Click the arrow to move forward to the third screen which shows the actual game. (The second screen can be shown and discussed only if you think your students will need the additional background knowledge or review prior to game play.)
- Together, read the vocabulary words listed at the bottom of the screen. Then have a student volunteer read the first cloze passage (fill in the blank phrase) at the top of the screen. After the phrase is read, signal to students that they should think-pair-share for 15 seconds to discuss the answer with their partner, then signal again to indicate that students should end their conversation and bring their attention back to the whiteboard.
- Have one pair of students tell which answer they think is correct and explain their thinking, then check their answer by dragging it to the correct space in the passage. Each government power will only "stick" in the correct place, and will bounce back if it is placed incorrectly.
- When all the cloze passages on the screen are complete, click "next" to continue. You will see two more screens in which game play continues in the same manner. You can have students access their own computers and work in pairs to complete the game, or continue playing on the interactive whiteboard as a whole class until all three levels are completed and then have students try the game with their partner.
- Before releasing students to play the game with their partners, remind them to discuss their answers and explain their thinking as they work.
- Provide approximately 5-15 minutes for students to complete all 3 levels with their partner. Allow students to work at their own pace, instructing them to utilize BrainPOP resources when they are done. They can play either the BrainPOP Branches of Government movie or the BrainPOP Jr Branches of Government movie and explore the related resources for each topic (such as the Related Reading for the BrainPOP movie and the game, activity, and word wall for the BrainPOP Jr. movie.)
- Assess student learning by projecting the second screen of the game for the class to see. This screen notes some of the key functions of each branch of government. Minimize the window so that students can no longer see the screen, and challenge them to work with their partner to list at least 2 functions of each branch of government that further the checks and balances system. Set a timer for 3-5 minutes and allow students to jot down their thoughts.
- Re-open the window that shows the game's second screen and allow students to check their answers with a partner. They can make a checkmark next to each function that they recorded that is also on the screen. Allow students to award themselves points, if desired. Talk about students' answers. What key vocabulary words did they use to describe each aspect of the checks and balances system? Did they list any functions that were not in the game? Encourage students to recall what they learned from other sources, as well.
Extension Activities:Be sure to check out another great civics game by Sheppard Software called Branches of Government. You can also search the full collection of social studies games on BrainPOP's GameUp.

Phase 2 trial supports further investigation of urate's ability to slow disease progression
A clinical trial assessing the potential of the nutritional supplement inosine to treat Parkinson disease has found that the studied dosages successfully raised participants' levels of the antioxidant urate without producing serious side effects. Results of the two-year phase 2 trial – conducted by a consortium led by investigators at Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), Harvard School of Public Health, and the University of Rochester – are being published in JAMA Neurology. Several previous studies have suggested that urate elevation may reduce the risk of Parkinson disease or slow its progression.
"This study provided clear evidence that, in people with early Parkinson disease, inosine treatment can safely elevate urate levels in the blood and cerebrospinal fluid for months or years," says Michael Schwarzschild, MD, PhD, principal investigator of the study and an MGH neurologist. "We know that urate has neuroprotective properties in animal models, and an unusual convergence of human studies suggested its possible use as a disease-modifying strategy in Parkinson's; so the positive results of this trial are very encouraging."
Characterized by tremors, rigidity, difficulty walking and other symptoms, Parkinson disease is caused by the destruction of brain cells that produce the neurotransmitter dopamine. While current treatments can partially relieve symptoms, no therapy has been shown to alleviate the underlying loss of brain cells or the progression of the disorder. Studies by Schwarzschild's team and others have found that healthy people with naturally occurring blood levels of urate within the high normal range appear to have a reduced risk of developing Parkinson's and that the disease may progress more slowly in those with higher urate levels.
Primarily supported by a $5.6 million grant from the The Michael J. Fox Foundation for Parkinson's Research and conducted at 17 sites across the U.S., SURE-PD (Safety of URate Elevation in Parkinson's Disease) enrolled 75 recently diagnosed Parkinson disease patients with relatively low blood levels of urate (less than 6 mg/dL). Participants were randomized to three study groups – one receiving an inosine dosage designed to achieve mild elevation of blood urate (6 to 7 mg/dL), one receiving a dose designed to achieve moderate elevation (7 to 8 mg/dL) and a placebo group. Inosine is naturally converted by the body into urate as part of normal metabolism, whereas urate taken orally would be broken down in the digestive system.
Of the 75 participants only 1 did not complete the trial. During the study period, the incidence of serious adverse events was no higher among those receiving inosine than among the placebo group. Three participants receiving inosine did develop symptomatic kidney stones – a known consequence of high urate levels – but two of those were not clearly urate-related stones, and all were successfully treated. There was no increased incidence of gout or other potentially urate-related problems. After six months on the trial, 95 percent of participants reported no problems taking the drug, and while several discontinued treatment for varying periods of time during the study period, the investigators estimate that 90 percent would have tolerated the treatment if they had continued the full two years.
The tested dosages successfully increased blood and cerebrospinal fluid urate levels into the target ranges, with greater increases in the moderate-elevation group. One month after the study ended, urate levels for all participants had returned to their original levels. Additional data collected by the investigators provided preliminary effectiveness results that Schwarzschild describes as encouraging. "These results support advancing to a larger trial capable of addressing whether inosine might fill the critical unmet need for disease-modifying treatment. The information provided by this trial is helping us design a phase 3 trial, and with guidance from the FDA, we are preparing an application for additional funding from the National Institutes of Health."
A professor of Neurology at Harvard Medical School, Schwarzschild cautions Parkinson's patients and their caregivers against attempting inosine treatment at this time. "While there is considerable evidence to support this therapy's potential, inosine is still an unproven treatment for Parkinson disease. We know that excessively high urate can lead to kidney stones, gout and possibly other untoward effects, which is why attempts to elevate urate are best pursued in carefully designed clinical trials where the risks can be reduced and balanced against possible benefits."
Co-principal investigators of the SURE-PD trial are Alberto Ascherio, MD, DrPH, Harvard School of Public Health; and Karl Kieburtz, MD, MPH, University of Rochester. Eric Macklin, PhD, of the MGH Department of Medicine was the trial's lead biostatistician.
Massachusetts General Hospital, founded in 1811, is the original and largest teaching hospital of Harvard Medical School. The MGH conducts the largest hospital-based research program in the United States, with an annual research budget of more than $775 million and major research centers in AIDS, cardiovascular research, cancer, computational and integrative biology, cutaneous biology, human genetics, medical imaging, neurodegenerative disorders, regenerative medicine, reproductive biology, systems biology, transplantation biology and photomedicine.

"Pro football is no game for weaklings – everyone knows that. The men are rugged, they play hard, but they play clean. When men get into big time football, they're good enough not to have to play dirty. We love the game and we believe football competition, as well as all sports competition, makes high types of men."

When Paul Brown began organizing the Cleveland Browns team to play in the new All-America Football Conference (AAFC), the first player he signed was Otto Graham, a tailback from Northwestern University. Brown eyed Graham as the perfect quarterback for his new pro team.
Graham planned to concentrate on basketball at Northwestern. He was "discovered" playing intra-mural football as a freshman and although he became a fine passer in three varsity seasons, he had no experience in the T-formation. Brown never wavered in his decision. "Otto has the basic requirements of a T-quarterback – poise, ball-handling and distinct qualities of leadership."
It turned out the coach was right. Once Graham joined the Browns, he not only quickly mastered the mechanics of the T but he became the heart of a dynamic football machine. With Graham at the controls, the Browns won four straight AAFC titles and compiled an awesome 52-4-3 record.
Still, pro football "experts" theorized Otto and the Browns would get their comeuppance once they faced the NFL in 1950, but both the quarterback and the team proved more than equal to the occasion. In the Browns' 30-28 victory over the Los Angeles Rams in the 1950 NFL Championship Game, Graham threw four touchdown passes.
His finest title-game performance came four years later when he scored three touchdowns and threw for a trio of scores in a 56-10 lacing of Detroit. Graham retired after that game but responded to Paul Brown's SOS early in 1955. In the final game of his career, the NFL championship against the Los Angeles Rams, he ran for two touchdowns and passed for two more in a 38-14 victory. For the ninth time in 10 seasons, Otto was named first-team all-league quarterback.
While Graham was guiding the Browns, Cleveland played in 10 straight title games and had four AAFC and three NFL championships.

Mike H."I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar!"
I am 66 years young and I still got it! I would have never known this if it had not been for Jamplay! I feel like a 12 year old kid with a new guitar! Ha! I cannot express enough how great you're website is! It is for beginners and advanced pickers! I am an advanced picker and thought I had lost it but thanks to you all, I found it again! Even though I only play by ear, I have been a member a whopping whole two weeks now and have already got Brent's country shuffle and country blues down and of course with embellishments. Thank you all for your wonderful program!
Greg J."With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace"
I'm a fifty eight year old newbie who owns a guitar which has been sitting untouched in a corner for about seven years now. Last weekend I got inspired to pick it up and finally learn how to play after watching an amazing Spanish guitarist on TV. So, here I am. I'm starting at the beginning with Steve Eulberg and I couldn't be happier (except for the sore fingers :) Some day I'm going to play like Steve! I'm self employed with a hectic schedule. With Jamplay I can fit in a random session when I have time and I can go at my own pace, rewinding and replaying the videos until I get it. This is a very enjoyable diversion from my work yet I still feel like I'm accomplishing something worthwhile. Thanks a lot, Greg
Bill"I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students."
I am commenting here to tell you and everyone at JamPlay that I believe this is the absolute best site for guitar students. I truly enjoy learning to play the guitar on JamPlay.com. Yes, I said the words, ""enjoy learning."" It is by far the best deal for the money.

Strapped with limited time and unforgiving budgets, modern entrepreneurs can't afford to spend precious resources recruiting, training and retaining a full-time staff. In turn, many look toward off-site personnel for assistance on key operational and administrative tasks. To meet this rising demand, a number of companies offer remote assistants or offsite receptionists that help with simple, everyday duties. While beneficial to certain organizations, these services have muddied the water by confusing some people's understanding of a true virtual assistant.
Like any other profession, virtual assistance has a rich history that spans decades. Its birth can be traced back to temporary secretarial services, which began in the 1950s. While virtual assistance evolved from secretarial services, the concepts are distinct from one another, with the former an intentional brand of ongoing support and the latter focusing on occasional piecemeal project work.
The term "virtual assistant" was coined in 1996…

Blockbuster video games rarely released during the summer. But scale is no measure of quality; and while not all are of AAA-proportions, we'll demonstrate that this summer's schedule could include some of the strangest and boldest titles of the year.
We've highlighted the titles that look most promising and organized them by month. So get your calendars out, 'cause it's time to plan out your summer of gaming.
Late June
Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (3DS, June 19th)
What It Is: C'mon. You know what this game is. It's a remake of what some refer to as the greatest game of all time. Nintendo is hoping that Ocarina will get some of the Nintendo fanboys who've been holding out on buying a 3DS to break down and the buy the new console. Ocarina 3D sports more detailed graphics and some gameplay tweaks; it fixes one of the title's long-maligned flaws thanks to an always-accessible inventory on the 3DS' lower screen.
Should You Buy It:If you have a 3DS, absolutely. It's a reboot of a cherished classic, and one of the finest games available for the young console. If you've never played Ocarina of Time, then it's not even a question. It is your duty as a gamer. That said, if you have played the game and aren't already enthusiastic about replaying it, I can't promise that it'll grab you this time around.
Trenched (XBLA, June 22nd)
What It Is: The third game in Stacking developer Double Fine's downloadable game parade, Trenched is an action/tower-defense hybrid set in a distinctive World War I-style setting. Your goal is too defend your position from waves of enemies using turrets and a good old-fashioned giant robot. Double Fine has also put an emphasis on character customization, giving you the freedom to tweak the appearance and abilities of your mech. The game supports co-op for up to four players.
Should You Buy It: Do you like tower defense? If so, then yes. It's a lot of fun. Trenched is a good example of the growing trend of hybrid tower defense games, which maintain the strategy element, while filling in the times you'd normally spend waiting with fast-paced action.
Also coming out in late June...
Prepping us all for an all new Transformers movie, Transformers: Dark of the Moon (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, 3DS, June 14th) is actually already in stores. The game has been panned by the press, which is definitely a bummer. Still, its developer High Moon Studios did make last year's superb (non-film-tie-in) Transformers game War for Cybertron. Hopefully they'll take their time with War for Cybertron 2
Or you can try to sate that unending thirst for loot with Dungeon Siege III (PS3 Xbox PC, June 21st). Dungeon crawlers like DSIII are a great opportunity to click your way through the summer months.
Lastly, rounding out the month's downloadable selection is Lucha Fury (XBLA, June 22nd), a luchador-themed beat-em up. Think Streets of Rage, with mild cel-shading and a lot more color.
(Note: for other June releases, check our Spring gaming preview.)
Ms. Splosion Man (XBLA, July 13th)
What It Is: As you'll see throughout this preview, the downloadable scene has really done a lot to prop up summertime gaming. A sequel to a 2009 XBLA hit, Ms. Splosion Man promises more diversity, adding new puzzle elements and offering better boss battles. There's also a clear commitment to maintaining the game's distinctive gameplay which mostly consists of making your lead character explode. Also, there's a mode called "Two girls, one controller", which pretty much speaks for itself... Ok, maybe it doesn't. It allows players to control both Splosion Man and Ms. Splosion Man simultaneously.
Should You Play It: Ms. Splosion Man is clearly meant to be an improvement on the original, but it's not necessarily a completely new game. If you want more Splosion Man, then it's a no-brainer. Otherwise, it's more a question of whether or not you like puzzle-based platformers.
Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet (XBLA, July 27th)
What It Is: Aside from having a mouthful of a name, Insanely Twisted Shadow Planet is an adventurous side-scrolling shooter that has been on Kotaku's radar for a long time. From animator Michael Gagne, Shadow Planet mixes shooting mechanics with Metroidvania-style exploration. It's also one of the prettiest looking games of the season, using a silhouetted style evocative of Limbo, without being so stingy on the color.
Should You Play It: You like video games, right? So yes.
Catherine (PS3, XBox, July 28th)
What It Is: When you break it down, Catherine is a story-driven puzzle game. In the game you control a man named Vincent who has begun to have a simultaneous relationship with two women: one named Catherine, and one named... Katherine. The gameplay is separated into two parts. There are dialogue-heavy social scenes, during which you interact with your ladies and presumably do your best to juggle their affections. And when the sun sets, you'll experience "nightmare" puzzle levels in which Vincent must move blocks to form staircases to the top of a collapsing tower, while grabbing items and avoiding traps. With Persona series creators Atlus at the helm, expect the story to be unabashedly weird, as only Japanese games can be.
Should You Play It: This is a toughy. Atlus, as a studio, has cultivated a very loyal fanbase of JRPG enthusiasts. But Catherine has been branded as "Erotic Horror", and as such is way out of the comfort zone of Atlus' US fanbase. If you like Atlus games and/or anime, and love story-intensive games like Heavy Rain, Catherine could be right up your alley. The game has garnered buzz for its mature themes. If not, then you might either be bored by long stretches of dialogue or simply not be able to get behind the story.
Also Coming Out in July...
Well, you could get your fill of giant bugs with Earth Defense Force: Insect Armageddon(PS3, Xbox 360, July 5th). Avoid it if you're afraid of spiders.
College football fans can relive the glory days of their alma maters with NCAA Football 2012 (PS3 Xbox, July 12th).
You might see Captain America: Super Solider (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, DS, 3DS, July 19th) on this list and immediately roll your eyes about yet another super-hero game of doubtful quality, , but we have high hopes for the game after seeing a demo earlier in the year. Developer Next Level Games talked about a lot of neat concepts involving complex brawling and graceful platforming, so there's a lot of potential there. Hopefully, they've been able to follow through. Then again, if you're still skeptical, you could pick up Call of Juarez: The Cartel (PS3 and Xbox 360, July 19th), which launches on the same day. The Cartel drops the Call of Juarez's classic western setting for modern Mexico and its current drug war.
Rounding out the month, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron (PS3 Xbox, July 26th) brings you biblical action-platforming. It's kind of confusing, but also gorgeous.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution (PC, Xbox 360, PS3, August 23rd)
What It Is: The third game in the Deus Ex series, Human Revolution is a prequel that shows how genetic augmentation changed the present into the world
fans were introduced to in the original Deus Ex. The game maintains the series' emphasis on character customization and giving players the freedom to approach missions in a variety of ways based on what abilities you choose.
Should You Play It: Yep. In addition to the fact that the summer is surprisingly devoid of first-person games of the shooting or non-shooting variety, one that gives you a lot of gameplay freedom—you could and probably should consider this a role-playing game—don't exactly make up a huge portion of the marketplace. Also it is one of the biggest games of the summer, if that means anything to you.
Driver: San Francisco (Xbox 360, PS3, Wii, August 23rd)
What It Is: Driver: San Francisco is, ideally, a revival for the Driver series. Returning to San Fran, which was the setting for the original Driver, Driver: SF adds a crazy new mechanic that allows players to jump from the car they're driving to other vehicles they can see on a zoomed-out map. In other words, if a target you're supposed to be chasing is speeding by in the opposite direction, you can jump into a car going in the right direction, rather than try a messy u-turn. In multiplayer, that mechanic turns a simple game of tag into a hyper-intense experience where every approaching car could suddenly start coming after you.
Should You Buy It: Yes. If you like racing, this seems like one of the most innovative AAA racing games in a long time. Even a non-racing fan should be intrigued by the game's strong story, clean visuals and interesting new gameplay.
Madden NFL 12 (PS3, Xbox 360, Wii, PSP, PS2, August 30th)
What Is It: Another year, another Madden game, right? Nope. With 2012 NFL season in limbo, the appeal of Madden 12 is unclear. It might be the only football on your TV this fall. Expect an improved franchise mode and more dynamic player ratings, among a host of other fan-requested changes big and small to the periphery of the game.
Should You Buy It: Same answer as every year. Some players buy Madden annually, some players don't. If there's no season, than there's certainly some novelty to added to the game. If that doesn't mean anything for you, than you've already made your decision. (Wii players might be more inclined to buy Madden this year, because the game will finally support the classic controller.)
Also Coming Out in August...
A couple more XBLA games, for starters. Microsoft is bringing an iOS classic to the Xbox with Fruit Ninja Kinect (XBLA, August 3rd). Why slice a grapefruit in mid-air with your finger when you can do it with your whole freakin' arm!? If that seems a little too simple, then you might go for From Dust, (XBLA, August 17th) which tasks you with playing god to a primitive civilization a la Black and White. (Check the full Summer of Arcade roster, with more screens, trailers and summaries here.)
August is also a decent month for 3DS owners. First, Cave Story 3D (3DS, August 11th), a 3D remake of the popular retro shooter. Second, Devil Survivor Overclocked (3DS, August 23rd) will finally bring a hard dose of JRPG action to the new console. Driver: Renegade 3D (3DS, August 30th), which has nothing to do with Driver: San Francisco, closes out the month.
There are also a couple of appealing PS3 exclusives making their way to the US from Japan. It was unclear for a long time whether the HD version of Wii cult classic No More Heroes would be making its way stateside. Thankfully, No More Heroes: Paradise (PS3, August 16th) is in fact coming over. Many of us had been under the impression that Japanese role-playing game White Knight Chronicles hadn't been so successful in the U.S. But hey, enough people must have liked it, because White Knight Chronicles 2 (PS3, August 31st) is on the way, packaged with an improved version of the first game.
Early September
Resistance 3: (PS3, September 6th)
What It Is:The Resistance first-person shooter series from Insomniac Games has been one of Sony's marquee franchises for the PS3 generation. The franchise focuses on humanity's efforts to stop an alien invasion ravaging Earth. To keep the series fresh, Insomniac has changed this sequel's tone. Unlike the past two games, which followed the story of soldiers squaring off against the invading Chimera, Resistance 3 puts you in the shoes of a survivor, living in a world that already been dominated. Returning, of course, is Insomniac's signature inventive weapon-set, including new guns like the Mutator, which sprays a mist that damages enemies until they explode.
Should You Buy It: Though the story sounds intriguing and the graphics are very nice, it's hard to tell how well Resistance 3 will stack up compared to some of the other top shooters coming out in 2011. This is a PS3-exclusive, one of several that will round out the year.
Dead Island (PS3, Xbox 360, September 6th)
What It Is: Do you remember that trailer for a game from earlier this year that got everyone all excited? You know, the one with the zombies? That's Dead Island. Of course we've now seen the actual game, we know that Dead Island is much more. Dead Island differentiates itself from other first-person zombie games with its survivalist tone: All weapons need to be maintained or else they'll break, and there's much more of an emphasis on using whatever you can find in the environment. Technically, it is a shooter, but putting that title on it betrays the experience.
Should You Buy It: Yes. It looks like a very intense thrill ride. As with Left 4 Dead, playing with others seems like the ideal experience, so if you're a co-op fan it looks like a must-have.
Gears of War 3 (Xbox 360, September 20th)
What It Is:It's that game that Ice-T rapped about at E3, remember? The long-awaited finale of the Gears of War trilogy (whatever that means; this surely ain't the last Gears) features revamped versions of every mode, adds four player co-op, and, of course, a new campaign where Marcus Fenix and company will somehow protect some of the few remaining humans from extinction. Also, there are ladies fighting in this one!
Should You Buy It: Not if don't have an Xbox. Gears of War and Gears of War 2 stand as two of the best shooters of this generation, and Gears of War 3 looks like it could top both of them.
Also Coming Out in September...
Again, the 3DS (and DS) crowd should be getting their own little spread in September. First and foremost, Star Fox 64 3D (3DS, September 11th) comes out, bringing with it
online wireless multiplayer and "idealized controls", supposedly. The Bit.Trip series gets a 3D reboot in Bit.Trip Saga (3DS, September 15th). Kirby Mass Attack (DS, September 21st), which we sometimes like to call Kirby Massive Attack here at Kotaku, has a Pikmin-esque vibe. You control a bunch of Kirbys at once. This might be one of the last big DS games, given the rise of the 3DS.
The Gunstringer (Xbox 360, September 13th), a clever Kinect on-rails shooter, was once destined for XBLA, but was recently upgraded to a full retail release. The game gets extra points because it brings puppets and bullets together, which is something we hadn't thought of before.
Warhammer 40,000: Space Marine (PS3, Xbox 360, PC September 6th) takes a different approach to the Warhammer universe. Instead of an RTS, Space Marine is a third-person shooter. Unfortunately for THQ, they may run into some stiff competition releasing their game just two weeks before Gears of War 3.
Strategy RPG fans will be happy when Disgaea 4: A Promise Unforgotten (PS3, September 6th) hits stores. There aren't many strategy RPGs for consoles anymore, so when one comes out we get very excited. Save some excitement for NHL 12 (PS3, Xbox 360, September 13th), too. After over a decade of dreaming, virtual goalies will finally be able to fight just like everyone else.
Those are most of the big games coming out this summer. You can also expect a large number of iOS and Android games, but we don't hear about those very far in advance. Keep up with Kotaku and we''ll keep you posted.
Which games are you getting this summer?

Peters Township doctor pleads guilty in illegal prescriptions case
Oliver Herndon was charged after DEA raid in Waterdam Plaza
A Peters Township doctor who specialized in pain management faces a long federal prison sentence after pleading guilty to prescribing unnecessary painkillers and defrauding insurance carriers in the process.
U.S. Attorney David Hickton is making an example of Dr. Oliver Herndon, calling the case "extremely important" and "a teachable moment in western Pennsylvania to discuss and illustrate the serious community health and safety problem" of the abuse of prescription painkillers.
"Doctors, nurses, pharmacists, technicians and traffickers, be on notice," Hickton said. "If you are illegally prescribing, dispensing or distributing prescription pills, we are coming after you."
Patricia Bogle said her son, Ira Gray, 23, of Wilkinsburg, died while taking pain drugs that she says Herndon overprescribed for the young man's leg injury.
"I was so relieved to see that some justice is coming out of this," said Bogle, who watched the doctor plead guilty on Tuesday morning. "At least he's off the street now, and I'm glad he's going to have some kind of jail term."
Herndon, 44, did not comment as he left the federal courthouse in downtown Pittsburgh. He will return on Sept. 24 to be sentenced by U.S. District Judge Arthur Schwab. Prosecutors and the defense have agreed on 11 years and three months, although Schwab is not required to abide by that deal.
"The non-medical use of prescription drugs across America is a serious and growing problem, and is occurring at alarming levels. In fact, the Centers for Disease Control has labeled prescription drug abuse an epidemic," Hickton said.
Herndon's offices at Waterdam Plaza were raided on Feb. 14 by federal Drug Enforcement Administration agents. The practice was advertised as offering palliative care, which focuses on pain management.
In court papers, prosecutors said 87 of 128 local pharmacies that DEA agents visited were refusing to fill prescriptions from Herndon because they had questions about whether the scripts were medically necessary.
Herndon was arrested in March on charges of overprescribing painkillers, and federal prosecutors filed an additional charge of health care fraud, alleging that insurers covered between $400,000 and $1 million in prescriptions that weren't necessary or services that were never provided but were used to justify the drugs.

Alcatraz may still be infuriating the fans who want the series to increase the depth of its mythology and kick aside the annoying predictability of the procedural elements, but you can't deny that the guest stars are starting to get good. Following in the footsteps of last week's appearance by Theo Rossi, a.k.a. Juice on Sons Of Anarchy, we areblessed by the efforts of not one but two top-notch actors this evening: Mahershala Ali, probably best known to sci-fi aficionados for playing Richard Tyler on The 4400 (and, more recently, Nathan Clay on Alphas), and the always-awesome Glynn Turman, who… well, geez, I hate to taint your appreciation of his work by reminding you of the subpar Showtime series he's currently starring in, so let's instead remember him as the star of J.D.'s Revenge, shall we?
Ali plays this week's '63 of the week, Clarence Montgomery, who makes his first appearance in the midst of a silent auction at a country club, indulging in a bit of flirtation with one of the event's lovelier guests. At the behest of his new lady friend, Clarence and his new acquaintance go tooling about on a golf cart, seemingly having the time of their lives, but the freewheeling fun ends abruptly when, after a strange and disconcerting flash-forward, she's dead and he's left asking, "What happened?"
What's happened, of course, is that Clarence has killed the young lady, although the amount of time that seems to have passed between the couple's initial mischief and her eventual murder gives us just enough pause that we do wonder at least briefly if maybe he wasn't the one who killed her. Sure, it seems unlikely that Emmitt Little (Turman) jumped out of his wheelchair, killed the woman, and wheeled away before Clarence could wake up, but crazier things have gone down on this show. Also, who's to say that another '63 couldn't have been responsible?
But, no, in the end, Clarence did turn out to be the killer… even if, as it turns out, he hadn't actually been guilty of murder when he ended up on the Rock in the first place.
Flashing back to Clarence's initial arrival on Alcatraz, we learn that he was a talented chef who'd worked at a country club for more than half a decade but tempted fate by falling in love with the daughter of the establishment's owner. Just before the two of them were planning to run away together, she was murdered, Clarence was falsely accused of the crime, and he ended up in prison. Making his way to Alcatraz, Warden James, aware of his latest prisoner's culinary gifts (he's painted as having the most impressive taste buds this side of Gordon Ramsay), decides to attempt to integrate the prison by having Clarence serve as the new chef. It is a plan which goes… poorly, shall we say. It was destined to go that way, but it doesn't help, of course, that Deputy Warden Tiller decides to be obstinate and take sides against his boss.
So what turns Clarence into a killer? Why, that would be the efforts of kindly ol' Doc Beauregard, who puts the poor bastard through something not so terribly far removed from the Ludovico technique and effectively convinces him that he is the person that the court system believed him to be in the first place. It's an incredibly cruel scene, and it definitely has the potential to send the show down an intriguingly dark path, provided we ever actually get the opportunity to see it followed. (I for one am not overly optimistic… but, then, I'm a jaded old TV critic who's seen too many series with potential get the axe just as they were getting good.)
As for the present-day scenes, were it not for Ali and Turman, there'd hardly be anything worth mentioning, but their scenes together are great. They're pretty damned good when they were apart, too. Turman's performance is uniformly strong throughout, particularly when he's being questioned by Madsen and Soto, and I also liked Clarence's brief encounter with Hauser, even if Hauser's actually the one who gets the best line in that exchange: "We can talk or I can shoot you, it's all the same to me."
Lastly, although the scenes with Lucy and Clarence are well executed and enjoyable enough to watch unfold, we're well past the point where I want and need more goddamned information about the goings-on between her, Beauregard, and the whole '63 operation. Having Warden James stroll away with such a frustrating final line—"What kind of warden would I be if I kept secrets from my staff?"—is like getting a kick in the balls as a goodbye, frankly. Not exactly the sort of gesture you want to leave someone with.
Stray observations:
- My TiVo tried to record a rerun of King Of The Hill instead of Alcatraz this week (I was watching it on the TV in my office at the time), so I can't pull the precise quote, but I loved the brief exchange between Clarence and the warden in their first encounter, where Clarence indicates that he's had problems cooking for white folks before, and the warden reminds him that racism wasn't exactly the reason the white folks took issue with him.
- Having done a Random Roles interview with Turman earlier this year, I couldn't help but be aware that, at the time his character was supposed to have been in Alcatraz, Turman himself would've been on Broadway in A Raisin In The Sun, with Sidney Poitier and Ruby Dee.
- "I said, 'Bon appétit,' you sons of bitches!" Hell, Warden, if they're not going to eat that food, I'll damned sure dig in. I was drooling just looking at the offerings on Clarence's menu.
- With all due respect to Mahershala Ali's gentlemanly charms, the way ladies throw themselves at him throughout this episodes, I was beginning to wonder if he'd sprayed himself down with pheromones before each party he catered.
- I think they're forcing this whole Soto/Nikki thing way too hard, but it was almost worth it this week for the way Madsen delivers her "Oh, my God…"

For a while now, I've noticed folks like to argue about whether or not Brian Urlacher is THAT good. I've come across a good number of people who believe he's overrated – the kind of guy with a reputation that no longer fits his talent level. Yet there are plenty of others who believe he still plays at a super high level and is the soul of the Chicago defense. I'm with the latter group. Before this season, I wrote a post about how I thought the Bears' defense would come back after an off year last year – primarily because Urlacher would be back in the fold. Adding Julius Peppers and Chris Harris helped too, definitely, but Urlacher is the soul of the defense and I believe his healthy presence is the main reason this defense is good again.
As I thought about this though, I felt I needed some numbers to back this up. Knowing that Urlacher's stats are usually not that impressive, I went searching for the one thing I was pretty sure would separate him from most – the team's record when he's not on the field.
- Since 2004, the team's regular season record in games Brian Urlacher played was 56-33. That's a 63% winning percentage.
- Since 2004, the team's regular season record in games Urlacher didn't play was 7-16. That's a 30% winning percentage.
- In the year 2004 by itself, Urlacher played in 9 games – the Bears went 5-4 in those 9 games. Their record when he did not play in 2004? 0-7.
- Since 2004, with Urlacher on the field, the Bears have had a losing record just once – in 2007. (Note: he didn't play in 2009 when they also had a losing record and in 2004, the Bears were 5-4 when he was on the field…0-7 when he wasn't.)
These stats may not blow you away but they should adequately highlight the fact that Urlacher's presence in the lineup is critical to Chicago's success. He will very much be present in their lineup this weekend and while he may not have the glamor stats like a bunch of picks, forced fumbles, defensive TDs, sacks, he just gets his job done – his job as leader of the defense.

Shelley Duncan seems very distressed to learn that he is, in fact, Shelley Duncan.
Bryan LaHair wants you to think he is levitating a baseball, but he's really subtly flipping you off.
Pablo Sandoval is a very sad panda.
Somewhere beneath this pile of hair is Derek Norris… or so we are told.
No, Yasmani Grandal, breaking a bat over your knee is not a good way to make us all forget that you were suspended for using performance enhancing drugs from Biogenesis.
Fernando Rodney has his hat on straight. I REPEAT, FERNANDO RODNEY HAS HIS HAT ON STRAIGHT!!!!!
Gerardo Parra is not impressed.
God dammit, Nick Swisher.
Conor Gillaspie and Jeff Keppinger decided to take a picture together so that they could have a combined OPS over .700. It didn't work.
Yeahm, that's right, Pittsburgh. A.J. Burnett signed with the Phillies. What are you going to do about it, bro?
This is a picture of Mat Latos. Or is it? IT'S A MYSTERY!
Torii Hunter wants you… to stop making jokes about him falling over the wall at Fenway.
It has been so long since Michael Pineda played that someone had to inform him that what he is holding is called a "baseball."
A.J. Ellis is good at framing. This photographer… not so much.
Whatcha thinkin' 'bout, Joey Votto? A world where newspaper columnists quit complaining about you taking walks with runners in scoring position? Yeah, I have that daydream all the time, too.
Nobody has ever been more happy to be a Houston Astros than Pete Moylan is in this picture.
Hector Sanchez is either showing off his tattoos or is about to be handcuffed. YOU MAKE THE CALL!
Because Josh Luke wasn't already loathsome enough, rubber bands in the beard. Ugh.
Someone get Wilfredo Tovar some Ex-Lax, please. He looks a little backed up.
C.J. Wilson gives "Blue Steel!"
I know pinstripes are supposed to be slimming, but this is absurd.
Yoenis Cespedes was so excited to be in a locker room shower that wasn't overflowing with human excrement that he insisted upon taking his picture there.

Resolution of Respect for Coach Joe Gilliam, Sr.
God, in his infinite wisdom has seen fit to move from labor to reward our beloved Coach Joe Gilliam, Sr. on Wednesday, November 14, 2012.
Coach Joe Gilliam Sr., thank you for your life's work, you are indeed a treasure
Everyone you've touched is blessed because of the time God allowed us to spend together
Known and respected by many in the game
A defensive genius, many would proclaim
A disciplinarian, author, intellectual and wise
Your position as a role model changed, for the better, many lives
Your genuine compassion for young people showed everyday
You showed you cared through your actions, more than what you'd say
You told recruits, "We're not just going to care about you for the next four years...we're going to care about you for the next forty."
It was more than their football skills that you were after
This shows the pure essence of your character
And let's not forget, you were a champion
Four undefeated seasons and seven national titles when some said, it couldn't be done
So many stand on your shoulders and are where they are because of you
That is why your legacy will stand forever and your memory will continue
Always in our hearts, we will never forget
The great Joe Gilliam, Sr. and what you meant
We, the Tennessee State University Athletics family, wish the family to know that it is with deep sadness and a sense of great loss that we gather to offer a proper Big Blue goodbye to our beloved and respected Joe Gilliam, Sr.
Whereas, Coach Joe Gilliam, Sr. was a committed coach, teacher and mentor.
Whereas, Coach Joe Gilliam, Sr. was a faithful husband, father and grandfather who instilled in his family the virtues of discipline, fortitude, honor and respect.
Whereas, Coach Joe Gilliam, Sr. was devoted to revolutionizing the game of football and building champions.
Whereas, Coach Joe Gilliam, Sr. was revered and respected for the development of his Fundamental Camp to teach and reach underprivileged youth of the Nashville Community.
Whereas, Coach Joe Gilliam, Sr., whose loss we will mourn, we are consoled by the words of Jesus who said, in John 14, "Let not your heart be troubled: ye believe in God, believe also in me. In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that were I am, there ye may be also."
Therefore be it resolved that on this day, Monday, November 19, 2012, we support and embrace Coach Joe Gilliam Sr.'s loving family by demonstrating our love for him to you.
We know dear loved ones of Coach Joe Gilliam, Sr. that the depth of your sorrow is deep and that you are sad to see him go. But be mindful and recognize that our loss is Heaven's Gain.
Life Is A Journey
Birth is a
beginning and death a destination
And life is a journey:
From childhood to maturity and youth to age;
From innocence to awareness and ignorance to knowing;
From foolishness to desecration and then perhaps to wisdom.
From weakness to strength or from strength to weakness
and often back again;
From health to sickness and we pray to health again.
From offense to forgiveness
from loneliness to love
from joy to gratitude
from pain to compassion
from grief to understanding
from fear to faith.
From defeat to defeat to defeat
until looking backwards or ahead
We see that victory lies not
at some high point along the way
but in having
made the journey
step by step
a sacred pilgrimage.
Birth is a beginning and death a destination
And life is a journey;
A sacred journey to life everlasting

I made these covers out of a kind of fabric called "duck cloth". It is very thick - like canvas - because these covers get decorated by parents as a surprise for their children. So, we use thick solid colored fabric to make it easy to glue onto. Below is a picture of one of the parent's decorations:
These would also work great with cotton fabric!
1) Start by measuring the height of the book, and the width of the book. The width should including both covers and the spine.
2) Your seam allowance will partially depend on how thick your fabric is. My really thick fabric needed a 1.5" seam allowance on the width, and a 1" seam allowance on the height. My very first try made the whole thing just barely too short, and that was frustrating. I had only given myself 1 inch or for a seam allowance on the width.
3) Cut two pieces of fabric to the width x height + seam allowance dimensions.
Then, for the pockets, cut two pieces of fabric to the same height, but only 1/2 the width of one cover.
The picture below shows one of each of these pieces cut.
5) Lay out your fabric by laying out one large piece, right side up. On top of that, lay your two pocket pieces, right side up, on the far left and far right edges.
9) Sew around the entire cover, an 1/8" from the edge.
That's it! You are done. Slip the book into the pockets.

Keystone delays seen giving time for climate concessions
|A decision on whether to approve the Keystone XL oil pipeline may slip into next year, giving opponents time to marshal efforts against it while offering President Barack Obama a chance to wring concessions from Canada.
The U.S. State Department is reviewing TransCanada Corp. (TRP)'s request to build the $5.3 billion link from Alberta's oil sands to U.S. refineries in the Gulf Coast. The department said it won't complete its environmental-impact review of the pipeline until after reviewing and publishing 1.5 million public comments it received, a months-long process that could be completed as soon as this week.
Once the environmental assessment is completed, the department begins a 90-day review of whether Keystone is in the national interest, weighing factors such as foreign relations, national security and economic impact. After that, other agencies have 15 days to appeal, which would send the matter to Obama to adjudicate --- potentially pushing a decision into mid-December or January.
"The prospects for the green lighting of Keystone have been diminishing as time goes on," Anthony Swift, an attorney tracking Keystone for the Natural Resources Defense Council in Washington, which opposes the project, said in an interview. Delays have "significantly reduced its chances."
2008 Application
Some analysts say the extra time may give Obama the opportunity to develop offsetting policies to undercut the opposition, either pursuing other climate-change priorities in the U.S. or getting Canada to agree to its own measures to offset the impact of oil sands production.
TransCanada Corp. first applied to build Keystone XL in September 2008. It revised the route to avoid a sensitive ecosystem in Nebraska after officials in the state said the line presented too many environmental risks. The administration is compiling its supplemental environmental impact statement, or SEIS, to account for the changes to the pipeline's path.
The March draft environmental impact statement found that the project wouldn't significantly increase greenhouse gas emissions because the oil sands would be developed without Keystone, and shipped out through other pipelines or by rail.
The Environmental Protection Agency questioned that conclusion in its response. Environmental groups such as the Sierra Club issued a report on Aug. 29 saying the analysis, written by a contractor, is flawed and that production targets set by the Canadian oil industry can't be met without Keystone.
Questions raised about the contractor also may mean more delay.
Inspector General
The State Department's Office of Inspector General said in August that it would issue in January a report on conflict-of-interest allegations that ERM Group Inc. failed to properly disclose financial ties to TransCanada and to oil companies that would refine the oil. State Department officials haven't said whether they would wait for that review before releasing the environmental impact statement.
"It will give State the excuse they need to further attenuate the decision," Michael McKenna, president of MWR Strategies Inc., a Midlothian, Virginia-based public policy and communications consulting firm, said in an e-mail. "This pipeline will never be built during the Obama administration."
The executive order that establishes the process for permitting an international pipeline doesn't set a deadline.
'Maximum Leverage'
Obama may be trying to "extract the maximum leverage" in discussions with Canada on reducing emissions from oil sands production, which tend to be higher than other forms of conventional drilling, said David Victor, an international relations professor at the University of California, San Diego, who has written a book on climate change.
Commitments from Canada to reduce the carbon emissions associated with mining the heavy crude from oil sands could help Obama reduce some of the outrage over an approval of Keystone, Victor said.
That's important for Democrats in upcoming elections because of the money and mobilization the environmental community offers, he said.
The pipeline would be capable of carrying 830,000 barrels a day with 100,000 barrels reserved for the light sweet crude from the Bakken formation in North Dakota and Montana.
Michael Webber, the deputy director of the Energy Institute at the University of Texas in Austin, said delaying a final decision on Keystone also gives Obama more time to establish policies to limit carbon emissions.
The EPA is preparing rules to put limits on emissions from new and existing power plants.
Climate Speech
Obama can say, "'You know what? Yeah, I approved the pipeline, but I also put in place a policy on carbon and carbon emissions are falling, so get off my back,'" Webber said.
In a June speech on climate change at Georgetown University in Washington, Obama waded more directly into the decision than he had before, declaring that Keystone shouldn't be approved if it were found to "significantly exacerbate" carbon pollution.
"The president set a tough climate test for the pipeline, which it clearly fails to pass," Michael Brune, Sierra Club executive director, said in a statement Aug. 29. " There is no wiggle room here."
In its draft review, the State Department said the net effect on the climate would be minimal. "They didn't calculate it right," William Moomaw, a professor at Medford, Massachusetts-based Tufts University, said in an interview. "If President Obama is serious about his statement in his Georgetown speech, the answer is very clear."
Negotiating Ploy
Obama also questioned Keystone's value as a jobs creator in an interview with the New York Times (NYT) and in a July speech in Chattanooga, Tennessee. The comments have emboldened environmental groups that have been galvanized by the issue in much the same way they were in opposing drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge a decade ago.
Victor, at the University of California, said Obama's negative comments about Keystone could be a negotiating ploy. The more it looks like he'll reject it the more the Canadian government may be willing to commit to emissions reduction targets, he said.
A delay may also take some of the steam out of the opposition, Webber at the University of Texas said.
"It lets everyone cool off," he said in an interview.
Protests Accelerate
So far, protests have been waxing, not waning. 350.org and other groups have been showing up this year at speeches by Obama and outside fundraisers where he appears. Last month a large group tried to get arrested out front of the State Department.
"We need to keep up the pressure," said May Boeve, executive director of 350.org, which promotes policies to reduce the threat of climate change and helped raise the political profile of Keystone.
Opponents including Tom Steyer, a hedge-fund billionaire and Democratic fundraiser, have said a Keystone approval can't be justified by climate concessions from Canada or with domestic limits on carbon emissions.
Canadian officials, meanwhile, have resisted suggestions that it do more to address climate change as a quid pro quo for Keystone approval.
"Canada has an excellent environmental record," Joe Oliver, Canada's natural resources minister, said in an e-mail in July. "We've already acted to phase out traditionally fired coal electricity."
