nimcnDO • conunuEO PRom s ^sensors to enhance game play. Nintendo refers to it as a “pointing device.” Imagine a controller that functions like a 3-D mouse. Now, imagine playing a first person-shooter such as Nintendo’s fabled “Metroid.” Players will be able to fully control the weapon as if they were actually holding it themselves. The release date for the Nintendo Revolution is 2006, but many speculate the system will see a summer 2006 release. Several high-profile titles are being developed for the system, as Nintendo hopes to launch the system in conjunction with a new entry in the “Super Smash Brothers” series. The much talked-about “Super Mario 128” is also in the works for the system. Many big-name companies such as Electronic Arts, Ubisoft, THQ, Square Enix and Konami are already putting their support behind the system. Nintendo' looks for the Revolution to help the company gain back a significant market share lost in the late-’90s during the Nintendo 64 era. It should be noted that the Revolution will be less powerful than upcoming consoles Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, and some wonder if Nintendo can recapture the hearts of gamers with innovation instead of graphics.

Endorphins are responsible for feelings of euphoria and decreased sensitivity to pain. More recent studies have not confirmed the association between tanning and endorphins. The University of Texas results can’t be applied to the general population but may be useful as a starting point for future studies on tanning addiction. Addiction is not usually the territory of dermatologists, but psychiatrists are paying attention to the study in UV light tanning. “I think very definitely you could see addiction in that, just like (compulsive) gambling,” said Dr. Clyde Flanagan, a professor of clinical psychiatry at USC’s School of Medicine. For people who think they have a tanning problem, a group intervention format such as the one used by Alcoholics Anonymous could prove useful, said Flanagan, a retired army colonel who once headed an inpatient alcohol rehabilitation program at Bethesda Navy Hospital. In the group model, people can admit they’ve lost control over their situation and need help. But Markosky, a public relations and journalism major, doesn’t think she’ll be needing group support anytime soon, although she said her stepmother is always chasing her out of the sun. “I associate being active with being in the sun,” she said. But as far as baking yourself in the sun, she said, that’s a no-no. 5|.y...is Today ESCAPE THIS, ENDWELL, DIEMONA, RED LETTER SUICIDE: 7 p.m. New Brookland Tavern, 122 State St. $8 under 21, $3 over.

HEAR HI*. Pj( \ / ^ t _I Horoscopes ARIES You and your partner will simply have to agree not to agree on everything. Don’t waste a lot of time arguing — there’s a lot of work to be done. TAURUS Watch out for a glitch in your work routine. It might be an overload, or too much to handle at one time. Be careful not to lose your balance. GEMINI This is not a good night to go out with friends. Someone closer to home would like to have a talk with you. Take care of first things first. CANCER In order to get one thing you want, you must give up something else. But you don’t want to do that; stall for more time. LEO If you’re doing errands, make sure to work out a route that saves you time and gas. Those are your biggest expenses. VIRGO Review your financial situation. You think you have plenty to spend on toys, but that’s really not the case. LIBRA Be confident but not lazy. You have lots of talent, but a competitor reminds you that you still have to produce results. SCORPIO Push yourself into double-time. You’re making a great impression. And somebody will owe you plenty when this job is done. SAGITTARIUS You need a little private time to let off steam and relax. Turn down an invitation to a gala public event. CAPRICORN Tempers are short, as are attention spans. Take care. You’re the one with good sense, as well as the best view of the big picture. AQUARIUS The more you study, the more dangers you discover. It’s always good to know about these things ahead of time. PISCES You have a tendency to be impulsive, especially where money’s concerned. You could do yourself a world of good now — or get into a world of hurt. Your call.
