Arkansas Foundation Donates $50,000 to Oklahoma Tornado Recovery Efforts


LITTLE ROCK, AR (News Release) - Although tornadoes devastated areas in Oklahoma over two months ago, the affected communities are still working to recover from the disaster. The Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation researched the intermediate and long term needs of these communities, and donated $50,000 to help with these recovery efforts. The charities supported include:
  • American Red Cross - $10,000
  • Salvation Army of Central Oklahoma - $10,000
  • United Way of Central Oklahoma - $10,000
  • Red Rover: Moore Animal Welfare - $7,500
  • Shelter Oklahoma Schools - $7,500
  • Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma - $5,000
The recovery process has now transitioned from addressing immediate needs to developing intermediate and long-term care plans for affected communities. The Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation was able to give to those organizations that continue to support and help improve the lives of those affected.

For example, after receiving feedback from the City of Moore, Red Rover was chosen as a recipient in order to help relieve some of the financial burden the city is currently facing through their efforts to house displaced pets and reunite those pets with their owners.?

The Regional Food Bank of Oklahoma is another example of an organization still working daily to help those in need. A woman, whose son lost his life when the tornado hit Plaza Towers Elementary, just came to their distribution center for the first time last week. Her home was destroyed, and she has been staying in a hotel since May 20th. It was the first time she could bring herself to venture out since the tornado.

"These stories are just a few examples of the challenges Oklahomans are still facing every day," said Kelly Caldwell, manager of communications and the Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation. "The Delta Dental of Arkansas Foundation is thankful we can help provide support. We also extend our condolences to those who lost family members, and our thoughts are with all our neighbors as they recover from these tragic circumstances."

ME: Wisconsin Boy Likely Died Soon After Going Missing - Wjon

Isaiah Theis (Facebook)

BALSAM LAKE, Wis. (AP) ? A medical examiner says a 2-year-old western Wisconsin boy who died in a locked trunk likely died soon after his family reported him missing.

The body of 2-year-old Isaiah Theis was found in the trunk of a car last week on his family?s property near Centuria. A preliminary autopsy shows the boy died from hyperthermia.

The Midwest Medical Examiner?s Office says changes in Isaiah?s body ?were consistent with him dying soon after the time he was last known to be alive.?

Public visitation for Isaiah will be held Tuesday at Trollhaugen ski resort in Dresser. A private funeral is scheduled Wednesday in St. Croix Falls.

The family?s pastor says the boy likely climbed into the car trunk himself after grabbing the keys.

Samsung puts the new Exynos 5 Octa 5420 SoC up against a Nexus 10 at SIGGRAPH 2013 (hands-on video)

Samsung puts the new Exynos 5 Octa 5420 SoC up against a Nexus 10 at SIGGRAPH 2013 handson video

In case you were already snoozin' when Samsung made its announcement late yesterday, the company is here at SIGGRAPH 2013 eager to show off the muscle behind its new chip. Before the exhibitions start officially, we had a chance to nab a look at a reference tablet running the Exynos 5 Octa 5420 SoC alongside ARM's Mali T-628 silicon packing six cores. For comparison purposes, the prototype unit was matched against a Nexus 10 tablet and its 1.7GHz Exynos 5 Dual 5250. Our first impression? The 5420 ran GLBenchmark's 2.7.0 T-Rex on-screen test noticeably (read: a lot) smoother than the Nexus 10 and the final scores confirmed the performance boost that we previously reported. We also had a look at both the Unreal Engine's Citadel (up to 45fps at times) and Unity Chase on the test device with both further demonstrating silky smooth transitions and brisk graphic renders. There's no word on when the chip will make it into your next mobile device, but it is scheduled to go into production next month. For a quick look at the two tablets side by side, we'll refer you to the video embedded just beyond the break.

13 Top PC Games in Computer Caf?s in the Philippines - Tech in Asia

In the Philippines, internet caf?s are also referred to as computer shops or computer caf?s. And they?re everywhere. Those places are perfect for those who do not own a computer or laptop or those who want to play games alongside their friends ? very literally. While you may also go to computer caf?s for internet surfing and offline socializing, most computer caf?s in the Philippines are inclined to target gamers.

Although there are many titles that gamers love to play, due to certain circumstances and limitations such as PC specifications, internet speeds, or game accessibility, there are only select titles that can be found in computer caf?s across the country. Here is a list of commonly found game titles in computer caf?s in the Philippines.

Multiplayer Online Battle Arena (MOBA) Games

1. Warcraft III DotA (WC3 DotA)

WC3 DotA

Availability: 5/5
Website: Official DotA Downloads

Warcraft III DotA, also referred to as WC3 DotA or DotA 1, is the game that other popular MOBA games like Heroes of Newert (HoN) and League of Legends (LoL) have been based on. WC3 DotA is not a stand-alone game, but is actually a modified/customized map of the Blizzard?s Warcraft III and was based on Aeon of Strife, a scenario from StarCraft. Originally created by a mapmaker known only by the alias ?Eul?, WC3 DotA has been passed on from one creator to another, the current developer known only by the alias ?IceFrog?. Since its debut, WC3 DotA had always been free and is not owned by any major developer or company. Aside from having a LAN feature, playing online is also possible via gaming clients such as Garena or Ranked Gaming Client (RGC). Even with the release of its sequel DOTA 2, WC3 DotA still remains a favorite not only in the Philippines, but also in other parts of Asia.

2. League of Legends (LoL)

League of Legends (LoL)

Availability: 4/5
Website: League of Legends

With five million peak global concurrent players, League of Legends? has the most number of players among any MOBA game to date. It was developed by Riot Games with the help of Steve ?Guinsoo? Feak and Steve ?Pendragon? Mescon?, one of the previous designers of _WC3 DotA and the administrator of dota-allstars.com respectively. It has the same concept as WC3 DotA, but with significant changes such as not allowing ?denies? and introducing the concept of ?zoning?. LoL is generally free-to-play, but there are also items and champions for those who are willing to spend extra. Unlike WC3 DotA, DOTA 2 and HoN, LoL does not need a separate client for playing online.

3. Heroes of Newerth (HoN)

Heroes of Newerth (HoN)

Another MOBA running on the Garena client is Heroes of Newerth (HoN) by S2 Games. While sharing the same general gameplay as DotA and LoL, HoN has its own notable differences such as having an automatically included courier for each team at the start of every match. Initially, HoN was originally a pay-to-play game until it became completely free to play in July 2012.

4. DOTA 2

DOTA 2

Website: DOTA 2 Official Blog

The sequel to WC3 DotA, DOTA 2 spent two years in beta before it was finally launched on July 9 this year. DOTA 2 was developed by Valve with the latest and current developer of WC3 DotA who is only known by the name ?IceFrog?. It is also currently the most popular game on Steam with more than 400,000 concurrent users to date. DOTA 2 kept even the smallest important details from its predecessor including the fog, the attack animation, and even the color scheme for each hero. However, unlike its predecessor, it requires better computer specs.

Massively Multiplayer Online Role Playing Games (MMORPG)

5. Dragon Nest

Developed by Eyedentity Games, Dragon Nest is available across nine regional servers to date, namely in Korea, China, Japan, North America, Europe, Hong Kong, Thailand, Indonesia, and Southeast Asia. The Dragon Nest Philippines is included in SEA and is under the publisher Cherry Credits. Dragon Nest is known for being a fast-paced action RPG due to its non-targeting system of gameplay. To date, there are six playable classes in Dragon Nest SEA namely the Warrior, Archer, Sorceress, Cleric, Tinkerer, and Kali. Each of these classes branch out to secondary and tertiary classes as the character goes up the levels.

Website: Continent of the Ninth Seal

Continent of the Ninth Seal, or C9, is an action MMORPG developed and published by Webzen. It currently has four main character classes, which are the Fighter, Hunter, Shaman, and Witchblade. Each of these classes also improves into their respective secondary and tertiary classes. In terms of gamers in the Philippines, C9 is more popular in Visayas and Mindanao particularly in Cebu and Davao regions. You may also find C9 in Luzon, but that would be mostly in the cities where computer caf?s have better specced PCs.

First-Person Shooter (FPS) / Third-Person Shooter (TPS) Games

8. Counter-Strike

Counter-Strike

Availability: 5/5
Website: Counterstrike: Global Offensive

If you are a gamer in the Philippines and you have no idea what Counter-Strike is, I will assume that you are very new. Counter-Strike (also referred to as CS or Counter in the Philippines) is one of the most popular computer caf? games in the Philippines. Its earlier versions can still be found in most computer caf?s, as well as the online versions. Counter-Strike is originally a Half-Life modification and was later on developed by Valve, the creator of Half-Life. The concept is pretty simple. You choose between two camps: terrorist and counter-terrorist. Depending on the map, you can win the game by successfully planting or setting off a bomb (terrorist), or defusing the bomb or rescuing hostages (counter-terrorist). Or you can just kill everyone on the enemy?s team. It works just as fine on any map anyway.

9. Mercenary Online

Mercenary Onlinea

Availability: 3/5
Website: Mercenary Online PH

Mercenary Online is an online third-person shooter game developed by YingPei Games and handled by Massive Gaming in the Philippines. It has various player-versus-player (PvP) modes that give players various goals and allow them to work out various strategies. Unlike most common shooter games, Mercenary Online offers maps with co-op missions with boss fights, which is a good break from the usual run-and-gun or ? in some cases ? just camping and waiting for a good target to pass by. Character creation is also an interesting feature because it features customization including gender, hair, clothes, and face.

10. Point Blank

Point Blank

Website: Point Blank PH

Point Blank is an online first-person shooter game developed by Zepetto and run by E-Games in the Philippines. Like Counter Strike, players can choose which camp to be part of. In PointBlank, the camps are the Free Rebels and the CT-Force team. There are seven game modes including AI bot matches and one where other human players play as dinosaurs.

11. CrossFire

CrossFire

Availability: 4/5
Website: CrossFire PH

Developed by SmileGate and published by GameClub in the Philippines, CrossFire has 12 modes for players to choose from. While it shares having two opposing teams, as withPointBlank and CounterStrike, it also varies in the sense that both teams are mercenaries ? the Black List and the Global Risk. The game includes a leveling system for each character. For every game, depending on their performance, they are awarded experience points, which will accumulate so you can get promoted to various military ranks.

12. Special Force (SF)

Special Forces (SF)

Availability: 4/5
Website: Special Force

More popularly known by its acronym SF, Special Force is developed by Dragonfly, a South Korean developer. It?s operated by the publisher Netmarble Phils in this country. It has multiple game modes where players are either part of the Red Team or the Blue Team. These teams are not available in single battle, horror, and training mode. SF implements a capping of their frames-per-second rate. In-game, there is a capping of 32 fps while a capping of 40fps is implemented in the lobby.

13. Left 4 Dead (L4D)

Left 4 Dead

Availability: 4/5
Website: Left 4 Dead Blog

If you are a fan of the Silent Hill and Resident Evil series, you might want to give Left 4 Dead a try. Unlike the aforementioned games, L4D is a cooperative game. As the name suggests, you are playing as one of the survivors against a horde of infected people/zombies after what seems to be an apocalyptic pandemic. There are also five special infected characters in the game, which are significantly stronger than the usual enemies, namely the Boomer, the Hunter, the Smoker, the Tank, and the Witch. Because it is a cooperative game, there are many features which are not available in your usual FPS game such as seeing colored outlines of teammates to see where they are even through walls, as well as the ability to help and tend to the wounds of teammates.
