Study Shows Link Between Antibiotic Use and Increased Risk of Breast Cancer
A study published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) provides evidence that use of antibiotics is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. The authors concluded that the more antibiotics the women in the study used, the higher their risk of breast cancer.
The results of this study do not mean that antibiotics cause breast cancer. They only show that there is an association between the two. Additional studies must be conducted to determine whether there is a direct cause-and-effect relationship. Read more
National Survey Data Released for Analysis:
How Americans Seek and Use Cancer Information
The continuing expansion and development of information delivery systems has given people access to cancer information from numerous sources, each varying substantially in quality and reliability. We know that people's prior knowledge, beliefs, and experiences influence the way they interpret and use health information and that America's increasing cultural diversity challenges health communication activities. Yet, until now, we've known little about how people seek cancer information or how to bridge the substantial gaps between the information they want and need, and what they receive.
Today, NCI unveils the first dataset from our Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS). The first survey of its kind, HINTS collects nationally representative data on the American public's need for, access to, and use of cancer information. The data identify changing communication trends and practices; provide updates on changing information patterns, needs, and opportunities; assess cancer information access and usage; and provide insight about how cancer risks are perceived. The survey began in 2001 and is conducted every two years. Read more
Study Shows Link Between Antibiotic Use and Increased Risk of Breast Cancer
A study published this week in the Journal of the American Medical Association (JAMA) provides evidence that use of antibiotics is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer. The authors concluded that the more antibiotics the women in the study used, the higher their risk of breast cancer.
The results of this study do not mean that antibiotics cause breast cancer. They only show that there is an association between the two. Additional studies must be conducted to determine whether there is a direct cause-and-effect relationship.
The authors of the study found that women who took antibiotics for more than 500 days or had more than 25 prescriptions over an average period of 17 years, had more than twice the risk of breast cancer as women who had taken no antibiotics. The risk was smaller for women who took antibiotics for fewer days.
However, even women who had between 1 and 25 prescriptions had an increased risk; they were about 1.5 times more likely to be diagnosed with breast cancer than women who didn't take any antibiotics. The authors found an increased risk across all classes of antibiotics that they studied.
To gather the necessary data, the researchers used computerized pharmacy and breast cancer screening databases at Group Health Cooperative (GHC), a large, nonprofit health plan in Washington state. They compared the antibiotic use of 2,266 women with breast cancer to similar information from 7,953 women without breast cancer. All the women in the study were aged 20 and older, and the researchers examined a wide variety of the most frequently prescribed antibiotic medications.
The authors offered a few possible explanations for the observed association between antibiotic use and increased breast cancer risk. Antibiotics can affect bacteria in the intestine, which may impact how certain foods that might prevent cancer are broken down in the body. Another hypothesis focuses on antibiotics' effects on the body's immune response and response to inflammation, which could also be related to the development of cancer. It is also possible that the underlying conditions that led to the antibiotics prescriptions caused the increased risk, or that a weakened immune system - either alone, or in combination with the use of antibiotics - is the cause of this association.
The results of the study are consistent with an earlier Finnish study of almost 10,000 women. Further studies must be conducted, however, to understand why the researchers saw this increased risk with antibiotic use. Studies are also necessary to clarify whether specific indications for antibiotic use, such as respiratory or urinary tract infection, or times of use, such as adolescence or menopause, are associated with increased breast cancer risk. Additionally, breast cancer risks could differ between women who take low-dose antibiotics for a long period of time and women who take high-dose antibiotics only once in a while.
Antibiotics are regularly prescribed for conditions such as respiratory infections and acne, in addition to a wide range of other conditions or illnesses. In the JAMA study, for example, more than 70 percent of women had used between 1 and 25 prescriptions for antibiotics to treat various conditions over an average 17-year period, and only 18 percent of women in the study had not filled any antibiotic prescriptions during their enrollment in the health plan.
Over the past decade, overuse of antibiotics has become a serious problem. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, tens of millions of antibiotics are prescribed for viral infections that are not treatable with antibiotics, contributing to the alarming growth of antibiotic resistance.
"Until we understand more about the association between antibiotics and cancer," said co-author Dr. Stephen H. Taplin of NCI's Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences and formerly of GHC, "people should take into account the substantial benefits that antibiotics can have, but should continue to use these medicines wisely."
National Survey Data Released for Analysis:
How Americans Seek and Use Cancer Information
The continuing expansion and development of information delivery systems has given people access to cancer information from numerous sources, each varying substantially in quality and reliability. We know that people's prior knowledge, beliefs, and experiences influence the way they interpret and use health information and that America's increasing cultural diversity challenges health communication activities. Yet, until now, we've known little about how people seek cancer information or how to bridge the substantial gaps between the information they want and need, and what they receive.
Today, NCI unveils the first dataset from our Health Information National Trends Survey (HINTS). The first survey of its kind, HINTS collects nationally representative data on the American public's need for, access to, and use of cancer information. The data identify changing communication trends and practices; provide updates on changing information patterns, needs, and opportunities; assess cancer information access and usage; and provide insight about how cancer risks are perceived. The survey began in 2001 and is conducted every two years.
Over the last several months, NCI behavioral and communication scientists have taken a first look at the HINTS dataset and are exploring several important questions that will better equip us to achieve NCI's goal of reducing the suffering and death due to cancer by 2015. They are investigating issues such as the perceived credibility of information sources, perceptions of cancer risks, information factors influencing screening practices, fatalism about cancer prevention, and factors that influence awareness of NCI's Cancer Information Service.
We invite members of our research community to delve into the data and help us learn how people seek and use cancer information. Visit http://cancer.gov/hints to register, download, and use the data.
While this message conveys our excitement about the HINTS data release, we understand that data analyses are only a first step in using the survey to its fullest potential. We look forward to helping communication practitioners learn more about what HINTS tells us about information-seeking behaviors and how together we can use that knowledge to inform our activities. In both research and practice, cancer communications remains a high priority at NCI.

Sarcoma PRG Report Calls for Aggressive Action
The final report and recommendations of the Sarcoma Progress Review Group (PRG) released late last month, calls for the formation of a Sarcoma Research Consortium (SRC) that will serve as a guide for sarcoma clinical trials and related basic and clinical research. The SRC would also enhance the network of investigators and cancer centers committed to sarcoma research.
Although the report recommends specific actions in six priority areas, the PRG decided that the formation of an SRC is paramount to success and effectively outweighs the other priorities. The need to create the SRC served as "a unifying theme" of the recommendations, the report states. "Implicit in the creation of the SRC is the notion that specialized expertise in sarcoma patient care and/or sarcoma research is required to move the field forward," the report continues. "The intent is not, however, to create a structure that is exclusive. Rather, the SRC represents an organizational umbrella that can accommodate and, indeed, welcomes participation by any investigator or center committed to sarcoma research."
The establishment of the SRC, the report states, would 1) assemble a national, multidisciplinary group of investigators to provide leadership for sarcoma research, 2) establish centers of excellence for sarcoma research, and 3) provide a common infrastructure to support and accelerate research (by establishing a centralized sarcoma and tissue repository, for example).
The PRG was co-chaired by Dr. Karen Antman of the Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center at Columbia University (see "A Conversation with..."), Dr. Todd Golub of the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, and Dr. Lee Helman, Chief, Pediatric Oncology Branch, Center for Cancer Research, NCI.
Although sarcomas - cancers that form in connective tissues like blood vessels, bones, and cartilage - account for about 1 percent of adult malignancies, they are more common in children, representing about 15 percent of pediatric malignancies. Because of misdiagnoses, they are probably undercounted. The misdiagnosis problem has been exacerbated by the current diagnostic coding systems, the report states, which categorize cancers by their location in the body, something that does not work well for sarcomas. The report cites, for example, a form of sarcoma called gastrointestinal stromal tumor (GIST), which was once thought to be rare. A recent review of 1,500 intra-abdominal tumors for a GIST genetic marker turned up 400 cases. Of these 400, only 100 cases initially had been diagnosed as GIST, with the remainder diagnosed as other sarcoma subtypes.
In addition to misdiagnoses, improvements in treatment also have been plagued by late diagnoses, a poor understanding of risk factors for sarcomas, and limited effectiveness of currently available therapies. Sarcoma diagnosis, for instance, "is delayed in many patients by the lack of experience of primary physicians, who often attribute the initial mass to common benign lesions," the report explains. There is also no uniform standard of care for sarcomas, which has yielded "wide variations" both in treatment and outcomes.
Other priority areas identified by the PRG include:
As with past PRGs (11 have been convened over the past 7 years), the Sarcoma PRG solicited extensive input from the research and advocacy communities to examine NCI's research portfolio as well as research funded by other institutes and organizations. NCI will now review the recommendations - available at http://prg.nci.nih.gov/pdfprgreports/2004sarcoma.pdf - and, with guidance from internal working groups, implement initiatives that respond to them.
Additional information about and reports from each of the PRGs may be found at http://prg.nci.nih.gov.
Dr. Karen Antman, director of Columbia University Medical Center's Herbert Irving Comprehensive Cancer Center and chief of the division of medical oncology, co-chaired the recent Sarcoma Progress Review Group (PRG), which released its recommendations for advancing diagnosis and treatment of sarcomas on Jan. 23 (see Special Report). Dr. Antman shares her thoughts on the report with the NCI Cancer Bulletin.
The recommendation to create a Sarcoma Research Consortium (SRC) was singled out as the top priority among the six priority areas you identified. Why is this so important, in your mind?
There were five other priorities identified in addition to the consortium. Are there any that, if implemented, will "bear fruit" more quickly?
The process for conducting a PRG appears to be quite robust and rigorous. In the case of the Sarcoma PRG, a 3-day, 112-participant roundtable helped identify and develop the priority areas. What are the benefits of having this issue addressed through such a process, as opposed to a review by a smaller, less inclusive group?
Antiangiogenic Therapy for High-Grade, Recurrent Brain Tumors
Name of the Trial
Principal Investigator
Why Is This Trial Important?
A chemotherapy drug known as LY317615 may stop the growth of gliomas by halting blood flow to the tumor, a process called antiangiogenesis. This trial seeks to establish the tumor-fighting ability of LY317615 in patients with high-grade, recurrent gliomas and assess the side effects the drug may have on patients.
"Recurrent malignant glioma is a desperate disease for which there are very few adequate treatments," said Dr. Fine. "This drug could be a highly potent therapy, though, because preclinical studies show that it may have both an indirect antiangiogenic effect as well as a direct cancer-killing effect on gliomas. Early results have already demonstrated the ability of LY317615 to stop the growth and shrink the tumor in some patients.
"Additionally, the trials of LY317615 to date have shown that the agent has minimal side effects," he said.

New Online: Cancer Progress Report - 2003 Update
Included are key measures of progress along the cancer continuum in the areas of prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, life after cancer, and end of life. Where possible, the report shows changes in data over time, and most of the measures are identical to cancer-related targets in Healthy People 2010, a national health promotion and disease prevention initiative of the Department of Health and Human Services and its partners. Interactive features include three formats of dynamically generated graphs and links to their data files. The graphs can be saved for use in reports and presentations. The report is based on the most recent data from NCI, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, other federal agencies, the American Cancer Society, professional groups, and cancer researchers. The report is available online at http://progressreport.cancer.gov.
Funding Opportunities in Symptom Management and Palliative Care
Symptom management and palliative care research encompass the primary and tertiary prevention of both prevention- and treatment-associated morbidities. This includes research on the management of acute symptoms related to cancer and its active treatment from diagnosis through the end of life and is critical for NCI's challenge goal of eliminating the suffering and death due to cancer.
In addition, Dr. O'Mara will give a presentation on similar funding opportunities for the pediatric population at the Children's Oncology Group's Pediatric Oncology Nursing State of the Science II meeting in Washington, D.C. on Feb. 27. Dr. O'Mara can be reached at firstname.lastname@example.com for more information.
Taxol® Study Samples Available for Microarray Analysis
The tissue microarray set contains specimens from all 2,000 cases enrolled in a clinical trial that assessed the benefit of including Taxol® with the standard doxorubicin-cyclophosphamide regimen in the treatment of axillary lymph node-positive breast cancer. The randomized trial, called B-28, was conducted by the National Adjuvant Surgical Breast and Bowel Project (NASBP). The NASBP is one of nine clinical cooperative groups funded by NCI to organize and direct large clinical cancer treatment studies. Tissue microarrays consist of material obtained from biopsies or surgical procedures embedded in paraffin and give investigators a more accurate way to determine responses to the Taxol® drug regimen.
There is enough tissue in the microarrays to provide up to 50 researchers with the complete specimen set from the trial along with clinical and outcome data. Investigators with specific, sensitive, and reproducible assays for candidate biomarkers should submit a request for the tissue microarrays to CDP by June 1, 2004. NCI also has tissue microarray specimens available for evaluation of diagnostic markers for prostate cancer, along with those for breast cancer. Additional sets will be available soon for research on bladder, ovarian, and colorectal cancers.
This is a list of selected scientific meetings sponsored by NCI and other organizations. For locations and times and a more complete list of scientific meetings, including NCI's weekly seminars and presentations open to the public, see the NCI Calendar of Scientific Meetings at http://calendar.cancer.gov.

FRANKFURT (Reuters) - Lufthansa
The strike, announced by labor union Verdi on Wednesday, left exasperated passengers stranded as they waited in long lines snaking through Frankfurt airport's Terminal 1, the home of Lufthansa.
"Once a year, I fly to Germany around this time of year. Last year I got stuck in a strike, and now it's happening again," passenger Markus Friedrich said, adding not much remained of the "German efficiency" for which his home country is known.
A group of Japanese teenagers slept on the ground in a corner of the building, kept company by piles of suitcases waiting for pickup. The strike was to end mid-morning, but caused delays and almost 700 cancellations throughout the day.
Efforts by big European airlines such as Lufthansa and Air France-KLM
Verdi is demanding a 5.2 percent pay rise for 33,000 cabin crew and ground staff at Lufthansa Cargo, Lufthansa Technik, Lufthansa Systems, catering unit LSG Sky Chefs and ground crews. It also wants a commitment by Lufthansa to safeguard jobs.
Lufthansa, Europe's biggest airline by revenue, wants to freeze pay and get staff to work an hour more each week to help it to remain competitive.
It is cutting 3,500 jobs, revamping low-cost carrier Germanwings and bundling procurement for its airlines as it seeks to cut costs and improve earnings.
Last year, Lufthansa agreed to a mediated deal to raise cabin crew pay almost 4 percent, adding 33 million euros to Lufthansa's costs, after a series of strikes forced it to cancel more than 1,000 flights.
Staff costs accounted for just over a fifth of its overall operating expenses last year. That compares with a 30 percent share at Air France but budget airlines like Ryanair
Lufthansa - which in the past has said a strike wiping out most of its traffic could cost it 25 million euros a day - has canceled most of Thursday's scheduled domestic and European flights but aimed to get most intercontinental flights away.

By Maurielle LueFox 2 NewsDETROIT (WJBK) -- A robbery at a Detroit home was caught on camera. On January 5 at 2:18 p.m., a window was broken in the front of the house. Two men entered. One of them then unhooked and carried away a TV."I worked so hard for it, somebody to come from nowhere," said the homeowner, who asked not to be identified. "Every time they break in, they take something out of my house. It's my life. I don't know what next they're going to do."The homeowner said this is the fourth time his house has been broken into and the second TV to go missing.A few years ago, one of the suspects was caught and charged, but the homeowner said the case was halted when the suspect didn't show up to court.He bought the surveillance camera thinking it would help police catch these guys, but said police won't call him back."No police have come yet. They didn't call me to come see the video."The homeowner said he has been robbed for the last time. If police won't protect him, leaving the city is the only way he can protect himself."I'm just so sick and tired of, I mean, people coming in my house and breaking into my house. I mean, it's really life threatening."

Maxxis Ignitor Mountain Bike Tire - 29in $55.00
Tracing roots to a time when rim manufacturers' finally provided wheel builders with something other than 700c road rims, the 29in Maxxis Ignitor Mountain Bike Tire was essential to the big-wheeled movement. That was nearly ten years ago, and the 29 x 2.1in Ignitor continues to roll fast with two casing options.
Both Ignitors use Maxxis' Aramid folding bead, all-round proficient 70a durometer rubber, and ramped pentagonal knobs. But, the F60 SC uses a 60 tpi nylon casing and the F120 SC eXC/EXO has a 120 tpi nylon casing. The later adds 100-grams to the rotational picture, but gives a more supple ride over varied terrain.
Usually higher tpi counts result in a lighter tire, however, in this instance Maxxis' EXO protection adds an extremely cut-resistant and abrasion-resistant material to the sidewalls. While this increases weight, the added puncture protection is much appreciated and the EXO is highly flexible to ensure performance remains unaffected. As stated above, the Ignitor continues to use ramped pentagonal knobs.This favored shape reinforces the knobs profile in cornering, pedaling, and stopping vectors for efficiency and positive traction in a variety of trial conditions -- with plenty of World Cup victories to back it up. The Maxxis Ignitor 29er Mountain bike Tire has a clincher bead and comes in an XC-friendly 2.1in width.

Can you run the 70a tubeless?
Member since
You need sealant but I've worn through a bunch of these setup as tubeless. The sealant dries out faster than with tubeless-ready tires but it's not really a big deal.
+1 For the Ignitor

I run one in front and back. Love it. Great value! Long lasting tire and has stood up well to rocky, loose or hard pack terrain here in SoCal and in Sedona.
My favorite 29er tire
Member since
I love running Ignitors. They hook up great in everything from loose over hardpack loose. The sidewalls have held up good running these tubeless.
The downside is they only come in a 2.1. I keep an Ignitor on the back of both my singlespeed and geared bikes. I wish they made a 2.4 or even just something with a little more volume to run up front, because they make a good front tire option as well.
Maxxis' website has the tire listed at...

Maxxis' website has the tire listed at 595g (http://www.maxxis.com/Bicycle/Mountain/Ignitor.aspx). Is the 705g weight accurate?
Cory Guru

The 29x2.10 is 595 grams.
Thanks for the heads up. We'll fix that spec!

That looks really interesting! Great textures and colours! :)
My Step 1.
And my Step2.
Ok this is going to sound totally lame ...but how to you cut wavey strips? I have pse 9....anyone have a good tut they can recommend?
"To cut the waves... use your polygnol lasso tool to make a wavy line across the paper going off the edge at the far side. Then bring it down an inch or so and bring it back in a wavy line to off the page on the other side; bring it up again to met the start of your first line. That should select an area with a dotted line around it. Then choose *Inverse* (In Photoshop that's Ctrl+Sht+I .. not sure what it is in Elements.. Jump in with that info Element users! Please! and Thanks! ) and delete and that will get rid of everything except your wave. "
You don't actually have to do the 'inverse'.... just have another blank layer opened and click on the area surrounded by the blinking dotted lines and drag it onto the new open blank layer. I then used my eraser tool to smooth out some of my edges. If you want a similar wave, you can put it on another blank layer then place paper over it and do the clipping mask. Easy...
In my page above - the smaller curved piece was one that I used the eraser on to smooth it out. But I left the slightly rougher edges on the bottom two layers. I did a horizonal flip for the middle layer so those 2 layers were slightly different.

So I am totally that girl who is at the bar on a Saturday night and orders tropical punch vodka with orange juice, pineapple juice, and a splash of cherry juice because I HATE beer! I wish I liked it, but I just don't enjoy that taste, but what about this?
Chocolate Peanut Butter Porter comes from DuClaw Brewing in Abingdon, Maryland.
Sweet Baby Jesus (selling for $10) smells and tastes like a Reese's Chocolate Peanut Butter Cup. It's incredibly balanced so don't expect more of any element than the other.

The debate about Rupert Sheldrake's talk
Please use this space to comment on the debate around Rupert Sheldrake's TEDx talk, as described here:
Closing Statement from TED
Thanks to all who participated in this conversation on TED's decision to move Rupert Sheldrake's talk from YouTube to TED.com. It was scheduled as a 2-week conversation, and has now closed. But the archive will remain visible here.
We'd like to respond here to some of the questions raised in the course of the discussion.
Some asked whether this was "censorship." Now, it's pretty clear that it isn't censorship, since the talk itself is literally a click away on this very site, and easily findable on Google. But it raises an interesting question about curation. Should TED play *any* curatorial role in the content it allows its TEDx organizers to promote? We believe we should. And once you accept a role for curatorial limits, you have to accept there will be times when disputes arise.
A number of questions were raised about TED's science board: How it works and why the member list isn't public. Our science board has 5 members -- all working scientists or distinguished science journalists. When we encounter a scientific talk that raises questions, they advise us on their position. I and my team here at TED make the final decisions. We keep the names of the science board private. This is a common practice for science review boards in the academic world, which preserves the objectivity of the recommendations and also protects the participants from retribution or harassment.
Finally, let me say that TED is 100% committed to open enquiry, including challenges to orthodox thinking. But we're also firm believers in appropriate skepticism, or critical thinking. Those two instincts will sometimes conflict, as they did in this case. That's why we invited this debate. The process hasn't been perfect. But it has been undertaken in passionate pursuit of these core values.
The talk, and this conversation, will remain here, and all are invited to make their own reasoned judgement.
Thanks for listening.

Juicing with a Ninja or Vitamix Blender
People who juice their own vegetables and fruits provide themselves with many different benefits. A good way to approach this is to start thinking about all of the different juices that can be created from the combinations of fruits and vegetables that are available to you. It's important to note that not a whole lot of people are going to choose to eat the whole food in that manner. There is at least a small amount of creativity needed for juicing but the food for this creativity is solid information. Mixing together different ingredients in an attempt to reach very specific goals and get very specific effects is easy and something that many people do.
Everybody should learn about the best practices to proper juicing. Perhaps the most important of all is that fresh juice, really all juice, doesn't take long at all to go bad. So it's important, then, that you avoid leaving it out in the open air for any extended period. Obviously you want to put any of your left over juicing prep materials into the fridge. But it's always best to only make what you'll consume right away. This is a good basic practice but it isn't always possible and there are lots of reasons for that. Depending on the actual type of juice, it's common to have leftover skin and pulp. This is worth eating after you've scooped it out because it has lots of nutrients packed into it. Some individuals believe in pouring water into the blender ninja vs vitamix and then simply hitting it a couple or few times. Then they can simply drink that because it will have some good things and some good nutrients in it. Just about the best thing about juicing is how easy it is and the level of variety it affords to the people who do it. In spite of the detrimental nature of this, some people doggedly choose some veggies over others. If you're willing to look outside of your comfort zone, you can change all of that by juicing. Just eat what you're used to and juice the new stuff. This is highly important for reasons above and beyond the basic balanced diet. This, then, means that you are going to get a much better range of value nutritionally because each of these foods tends to complement the others. That's why it is important to look beyond what you are already in love with when it comes to veggies and fruits. And you just don't ever know–you might find something that you genuinely like.
Advanced juicers such as a Vitamix or Ninja Master System often tell new juicers that there are several different foods that you should avoid when you are new to drinking veggie juice. It is known that some vegetables can produce stomach discomfort. This is most likely simply because of how the nutrients are concentrated in the juice. That's why things like cucumbers and celery are good choices for new juicers. Then add a little bit of lemon or lime as it suits your taste. If you want to make your vegetable juice easier to drink, these two fruits are more helpful than any others. They're good for you, health-wise, don't tend to hurt your digestive system and create a good taste that you should enjoy. Half the fun of juicing is the series of trials and errors you need to go through which is good because that is the only course that you can take. Eating and prepping veggies is not something that most people tend to enjoy. But juicers are quick to tell you how much fun they have with it. It might seem strange to you now, most likely because you aren't a person who is used to including juicing in your diet. It's a really great and powerful method of adding some much needed dimensions to your daily food intake.

Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hands-On - Part 1
It's been almost eleven years since the (now defunct) studio Ion Storm brought the world Deus Ex, a game that continues to hold a comfortable position in the personal "best of all time" lists of many who've played it. It was a game that deftly wrapped action, stealth, and deep conversational and role-playing elements in a conspiracy-filled cyberpunk storyline, while providing deep and meaningful choices to the player. Choice and consequence permeated both the minute-to-minute gameplay and the overall storyline in a way that very few games have managed to achieve since.
Deus Ex: Invisible War, the misguided (and oft-maligned) sequel released in 2003, ended up alienating fans with its relative simplicity. Last week, I got to spend some time playing through the first couple of hours of Deus Ex: Human Revolution, the upcoming prequel developed by Eidos Montreal. In this part of the preview, I'll talk about the first fifteen minutes or so of the game, leading up to the opening credits.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution is set in 2027, during a period of technological Renaissance. Bio-tech corporations have become incredibly rich and powerful by developing and marketing all sorts of physical augmentations - for those who can afford it. Players take on the role of Adam Jensen, a private-security specialist employed by corporate augmentation giant, Sarif Industries. It's also interesting that while he works for a company that makes augmentations, Jensen doesn't begin with any of his own.
In the game's opening cinematic, an unnamed, business-suited individual holds a conference call with several remote participants bearing different accents and using vocal distortion. A conspiracy involving Jensen's employer seems to be afoot, and it may have global implications.
The action then moves to the the Sarif Industries lab in Detroit, where Dr. Megan Reed, Sarif's chief scientist, leads Adam on a tour through the bustling lab. They pass by several rooms where some of instances of the company's bio-tech are being tested. I couldn't help but note the absence of nano-technology so prevalent in the first game, which further reminded me I was in a world that preceded JC Denton's. In one of the labs, the shrapnel-like suit augmentation (seen in the cinematic trailers) was being tested. In another, a man in a red track-suit and a robotic lower-torso and legs ran side-by-side on adjacent treadmills - six million dollar man-style.
Before the pair reach the elevator, we learn that Dr. Reed is on her way to testify before Congress, though she doesn't share the specifics with Adam. There's also a duality to Sarif Industries: the tech on display there seems to be a combination of both weapon-based and helpful, life-improving augmentations. Adam seems conflicted about his employer. When Dr. Reed notes that Sarif Industry's tech is available to everyone, Adam reminds her that much of the clientele is "DOD" [Department of Defense]. Furthermore, some recent history (and tension) between Jensen and Dr.Reed is hinted at - they used to live together - but is not deeply explored.
Sarif Industries' chief security-tech Frank Pritchard interrupts the scene as Megan leaves, joining Adam on his ride up to meet with big-cheese David Sarif. It's immediately clear that Jensen and Pritchard don't get along well on a personal level, but that they're at least able to work together.
Jensen then meets the boss in his office. David Sarif is disarmingly relaxed and charismatic - more politician than CEO, at first blush - and is also augmented with some of his company's tech: a mechanical arm. Before he can get into too much detail about arranging security precautions for his trip to the Capitol, alarms sound, indicating Sarif Industries is under attack. Adam hops back into the elevator to head back down to the lab, after Sarif informs him that Dr. Reed is in danger there.
As Adam re-enters the lab and the player assumes full-control of Adam Jensen for the first time, he finds the place in chaos. Unchecked fires burn, and screaming and explosions can be heard in the distance. Combat rifle at the ready, Jensen makes his way through the lab, learning to run, jump, duck, and take cover. Rounding a corner, Jensen sees two scientists trying to flee from a particularly large augmented invader on the other side of unbreakable glass. The first scientist is grabbed and hurled into the glass like a rag-doll, before the augmented brute's hand transforms into a machine gun to mow down the other.
After a bit of vent-crawling, Jensen comes upon his first opportunity for a firefight as two soldiers burst into a lab area. The default perspective in Human Revolution is first-person, but Jensen can be made to take cover by holding L1, which snaps the camera to third-person, giving greater situational awareness. Though balance-tweaking is still taking place, I was warned before the demo that running-and-gunning was a sure way to get killed, even on Casual difficulty. It was a fair warning. Even as early as the first enemy encounter, it became clear that paying attention to enemy line-of-sight, staying in cover, and watching enemy patrol patterns, and not making too much noise were important keys to success. Firefights have a vibe similar to those found in games like Rainbow Six. Enemies will take cover, communicate with each other, and try to flank you - and it only takes a few shots to take you down. Stealth is also a viable option, even in the first few encounters. During my second playthrough of this section, I managed to sneak by the first two soldiers without being detected. The little taste of stealth was very satisfying.
It should be noted that in this pre-credits "tutorial" section of the game there's no player HUD and no real resource management. Health regenerates when the player remains in cover. It's really designed to teach players the basics of how to handle combat situations, before introducing other gameplay systems like ability augmentations.
In another area of the lab, Jensen comes upon three more soldiers, two of whom are in conversation. Sneaking remains an option here, though shooting a nearby canister full of green (and therefore, toxic) gas will also do the trick. Shortly after this battle, another augmented invader is witnessed killing some more scientists before cloaking herself and vanishing. The final pre-credit combat section consists of another room, this time with five bad patrolling bad-guys. As before, both stealth and combat were viable options.
After dealing with the last set of troops, Jensen heads down a flight of stairs and down a hallway where part of the wall has been blown out. As he approaches the flaming opening, he's grabbed by the augmented soldier he saw wreaking havoc earlier, and thrown through a wall, shattering through the glass and electronics on the other side. Dr. Reed is there, and tries to save Adam, whose guts are literally hanging out at this point, before being punched and kidnapped by the modded invaders. The huge augmented soldier then grabs a gun from the floor and shoots Adam at point-blank range.
The opening credits roll, and the imagery on-screen makes it clear that Adam Jensen is being "rebuilt" using the technology of Sarif Industries.
Deus Ex: Human Revolution has some big shoes to fill, but the opening moments of the game make me very optimistic. The characters introduced all seem multi-dimensional, the subject matter itself is rife with moral gray-areas, and the story hints at many different layers. More importantly, players are allowed to approach each combat situation according to their own play-style, with both stealth and shooting that rely as much on tactics as they do reflexes. Even from the onset, Adam Jensen also seems like a character that I wouldn't mind spending dozens of hours with.
Keep an eye out for Part 2 of our Deus Ex: Human Revolution hands-on this Thursday, which will focus on the two hours of gameplay that follow the game's opening credits.
This preview is based on a closed-door press event held by Square Enix in Irvine, California. Deus Ex: Human Revolution Hands-On based on non-final debug code on the PlayStation 3. Square Enix invited Shacknews to the event, and provided one night's accommodations for the purposes of previewing the game.

Andre Johnson spent months away from the team and ultimately decided his future is not with the Houston Texans.
The 33-year-old wide receiver requested a trade and will not report to training camp after skipping offseason workouts and minicamp, NFL Network reported Thursday.
Johnson has three years and $31.5 million in base salary left on his contract but does not want to be part of another rebuilding project. The Texans are coming off a 2-14 season. NFL Network reported four teams expressed interest in trading for Johnson.
Johnson was subject to a $70,000 fine and foreits a $1 million workout bonus by not taking part in workouts and team activities.
---For the second consecutive year, the NFL's annual Supplemental Draft came and went without a single player getting selected.
The supplemental draft is very different from the media bonanza that occurs each spring. For one, players have to petition the NFL to be considered. This year there were four players available -- New Mexico wide receiver Chase Clayton, North Carolina linebacker Darius Lipford, Virginia-Lynchburg defensive tackle LaKendrick Ross and SMU running back Traylon Shead.
With the draft concluded, each player is now considered a free agent and can sign with any team.
---The NFL hired former Minnesota Vikings and Baltimore Ravens center Matt Birk as director of football development on Thursday.
Birk retired after the Ravens won Super Bowl XLVII. He played for the Minnesota Vikings and the Ravens from 1998 to 2012. For the past year, Birk worked as an NFL-NFLPA appeals officer.
Birk's new job will involve developing the game at all levels of the sport from players to coaches to front office personnel, according to the NFL. He also will help with the administration of NFL game day operations. Other duties include the Scouting Combine and Regional Combines, and the annual Senior Bowl and East-West Shrine Game.
